The following resolution was put to the meeting as an extraordinary resolution:

 

8. The directors be and are hereby empowered to allot equity securities wholly for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by Article 4.1 and Article 10.6 of the Articles as if Article 10.1 of the Articles did not apply to any such allotment, provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities:

 

(a) in connection with an offer of such securities by way of rights to holders of shares in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their respective holdings of such shares, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements or any legal or practical problems under the laws of any territory, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange or otherwise; and

 

(b) otherwise than and in addition to pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) of this resolution up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount equal to £112,771.21 (being approximately 15 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company as at 30 May 2014),

 

and provided that this authority shall expire on the 15 month anniversary of the date of this resolution or on the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting if earlier save that the Company may, before such expiry, make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power conferred hereby has expired and in this resolution the expression ''equity securities'' and references to the "allotment of equity securities" shall bear the same respective meanings as in Article 1.1 of the Articles.
