Notes on the Resolutions
Resolution 1 relates to the requirement for the directors to
present the report of the directors and the accounts of the Company
to shareholders at the Meeting. The report of the directors, the
accounts and the report of the Company's Auditors on the accounts
and on those parts of the directors' remuneration report that are
capable of being audited are contained within the Report and
Accounts.
Resolution 2 relates to the requirement for an annual advisory
vote on the directors' remuneration report in terms of the
arrangements for pay and share awards to directors. Details of
these are contained in the Remuneration section of the report of
the directors and the financial statements within the Report and
Accounts. The vote on this resolution is advisory only, and any
entitlement of a director to remuneration is not conditional on
this resolution being passed.
Resolution 3 relates to the requirement that the auditors of a
company must be re-appointed at each general meeting at which
accounts are laid. This Resolution seeks approval for the
re-appointment of RPG Crouch Chapman LLP as auditors of the
Company, to hold office until the conclusion of the next Annual
General Meeting at which accounts are laid. Pursuant to this
Resolution, Shareholders are also being asked to authorise the
directors to determine the remuneration payable to RPG Crouch
Chapman LLP as auditors.
Resolution 4 relates to the re-election of Martyn Porter who
offers himself for re-election. The Company's Articles of
Association require one third of the directors to retire by
rotation at each Annual General Meeting (excluding any director
standing for re-election in accordance with article 118 of the
Company's Articles of Association).
Resolution 5 replaces the existing authority of the directors to
allot shares, which expires at the conclusion of the Meeting. The
resolution authorises the directors to allot a maximum of 7,565,000
shares with an aggregate nominal value of GBP75,650. This is
equivalent to approximately one third of the current issued share
capital of the Company (excluding shares held in treasury) as at
the date of the Notice. The number of shares currently held in
treasury is 9,164,017 (nominal value GBP91,640). The directors have
no present intention to exercise the authority conferred by the
resolution, which will lapse at the earlier of the 2024 Annual
General Meeting or 15 months after the Meeting. Resolution 7 will
be proposed as a special resolution.
Resolution 6, which is subject to the passing of Resolution 7,
will be proposed as a special resolution for the renewal of the
directors' authority to allot equity securities for cash, without
first offering them to shareholders pro rata to their holdings.
This authority facilitates issues (or sales of ordinary shares held
in treasury) made by way of rights to shareholders which are not
strictly in accordance with section 561(1) of the Companies Act
2006 and authorises other allotments of up to a maximum aggregate
nominal amount of GBP11,348 (representing 1,134,800 shares), which
represents approximately 5 per cent of the current issued ordinary
share capital of the Company. This authority also allows the
directors, within the same aggregate limit, to sell for cash shares
that may be held by the Company in treasury. The Directors have no
present intention of exercising this authority.
Resolution 7 seeks to renew the directors' authority to purchase
the Company's Ordinary Shares, up to a maximum of 14.99% of the
Company's issued share capital (excluding shares held in treasury),
for a further year. The directors have no present intention to
exercise this authority but will keep the matter under review,
taking into account the financial resources of the Company, the
Company's share price and future funding opportunities. The
authority would only be exercised if the directors believe that to
do so would result in an increase in earnings per share and would
be in the best interests of shareholders generally. Any purchases
of shares would be by means of market purchases through the London
Stock Exchange. Save to the extent purchased pursuant to the
regulations concerning treasury shares, any Ordinary Shares
purchased in this way will be cancelled and the number of shares in
issue will be reduced accordingly. This would give the Company the
ability to re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost effectively
and would provide the Company with greater flexibility over the
management of its capital base. Resolution 9 will be proposed as a
special resolution.
Resolution 8 authorises the holding of general meetings, other
than Annual General Meetings, on 14 days' notice. Although the
Articles currently permit this, the Act requires a shareholder
resolution to be passed to authorise general meetings to be held on
14 days' notice. The minimum notice period for general meetings
would otherwise be 21 days. The directors would not make use of the
reduced notice period unless they considered this to be in the best
interests of members as a whole. Resolution 10 will be proposed as
a special resolution.
General Notes 1. Shareholders are encouraged to appoint the
Chairman of the Meeting as their proxy to cast their votes ontheir
behalf. 2. The Board will arrange for the legal requirements for
the holding of the Meeting to be satisfied by the attendance of one
or more Directors and the Company Secretary, who will form a quorum
and will ensure that the proxy votes of Shareholders are recorded.
We therefore strongly encourage you to vote by proxy, ensuring that
you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy. To ensure
that the voting preferences of all Shareholders are taken into
account, the Company will conduct a poll vote on all Resolutions
put to the Meeting. The results of the poll will be released to the
market and published on the Company's website as soon as
practicable after theconclusion of the Meeting. 3. As permitted by
section 360B(3) of the Act and Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated
Securities Regulations2001, shareholders must be entered on the
Company's share register at 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday 27th June 2023 in
order to be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (or, if the
Meeting is adjourned, on the Company's share register at 6.30 p.m.
on the day two business days before the time fixed for the
adjourned Meeting). Such shareholders may only cast votes in
respect of shares held at such time. Changes to entries on the
relevant register after that timeshall be disregarded in
determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the
Meeting. 4. Any member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting
is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (who need not be a
member of the Company) to attend and to vote instead of the member.
Completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude a member
from attending and voting at the meeting in person, should he
subsequently decide to do so. A form to be used for appointing a
proxy or proxies for this meeting to vote on your behalf
accompanies this Notice. 5. A body corporate which is a member of
the Company may appoint one or more corporate representatives to
exercise all the powers of a shareholder on its behalf, provided
that representatives of the same corporation do not exercise their
powers differently in relation to the same shares. 6. In order to
be valid, any form of proxy and power of attorney or other
authority under which it issigned, or a notarially certified or
office copy of such power or authority, must reach the Company's
registrars, Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing,
BN99 6DA, not less than 48 hours before the time of the Meeting or
of any adjournment of the Meeting. 7. CREST members who wish to
appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy
appointmentservice may do so by utilising the procedures described
in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear website (www.euroclear.com).
CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those
CREST members who haveappointed a voting service provider(s),
should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s),
who willbe able to take the appropriate action on their behalf. In
order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid,
the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be
properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK &
Ireland Limited's ("EUI") specifications and must contain the
information required for such instructions, as described in the
CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the
appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to
a previously appointed proxy, must (in order to be valid)
betransmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19)
by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified
in this Notice. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken
to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the
message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's
agent isable to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the
manner prescribed by CREST. The Company may treat as invalid a
CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation
35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001. CREST
members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting
service providersshould note that EUI does not make available
special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal
systemtimings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to
the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is theresponsibility of
the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a
CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting
service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting
serviceprovider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to
ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system
by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and,
where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers
are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual
concerning practicallimitations of the CREST system and timings. 8.
Persons with information rights under section 146 of the Act do not
have the right to appoint a proxy. Any purported exercise by such
persons (whether by completion and return of a form of proxy, or
otherwise) will be ineffective. Such persons may, however, have
specific rights to instruct the member who granted the information
rights as to how such member exercises their right to appoint a
proxy. 9. Any member attending the Meeting is entitled, pursuant to
section 319A of the Act, to ask any question relating to the
business being dealt with at the Meeting. The Company will answer
any such questions unless: (i) todo so would interfere unduly with
the preparation for the Meeting or involve the disclosure of
confidential information; or
(ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form
of an answer to a question; or (iii) it is undesirable in the
interests of the Company or the good order of the Meeting that the
question be answered. 10. The total number of Ordinary Shares in
