In this resolution, "rights issue" means an offer of equity securities
open for acceptance for a period fixed by the Directors to holders on the
register on a fixed record date in proportion as nearly as may be to their
respective holdings, but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements
as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with any
fractional entitlements or legal or practical difficulties under the laws
of, or the requirement of any recognised regulatory body or any stock
exchange in, any territory.
This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment
of equity securities by virtue of section 560(2)(b) of the Act as if in

on the passing of resolution number 9" were omitted.

varied, expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of
the Company or 18 months from the date of the passing of this
resolution, whichever is earlier; and

shares under this authority before the expiry of the authority which
will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of the
authority, and may make a purchase of Ordinary shares in pursuance of
any such contract or contracts.
Under the Companies (Acquisition of Own Shares) (Treasury Shares)
Regulations 2003, shares purchased by the Company out of distributable
profits can be held as treasury shares, which may then be cancelled or
sold for cash. The authority sought by this special resolution number 11
is intended to apply equally to shares to be held by the Company as
treasury shares in accordance with the Regulations.

the prevailing current share price and the price bought in at.
