That the Directors be generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (Act) to issue and allot ordinary shares of £0.002 each in the share capital of the Company (Ordinary Shares) or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into Ordinary Shares (Rights) (such Ordinary Shares and Rights being Relevant Securities) up to an aggregate nominal amount of £1,748,939 (one million seven hundred and forty eight thousand nine hundred and thirty nine pounds), provided that this authority will, unless previously renewed, varied or revoked, expire on 30 November 2022 or, if earlier, at the conclusion of Company’s 2022 annual general meeting, except that the Company may, before such expiry, make offers or agreements which would or might require Relevant Securities to be allotted or granted after such expiry and the Directors may allot or grant Relevant Securities in pursuance of such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the authority conferred by this resolution has expired.
This resolution revokes and replaces all unexercised authorities previously granted to the Directors to allot or grant Relevant Securities, but without prejudice to any allotment of shares or grant of rights already made, offered or agreed to be made pursuant to such authorities.
