"That the Directors of the Company be and are hereby generally
and unconditionally authorised to exercise all the powers of the
Company, to allot relevant securities (within the meaning of
Section 1021 of the Companies Act 2014) up to an amount equal to
the authorised but as yet unissued share capital of the Company on
the date of this resolution. The power hereby conferred shall
expire at close of business on the earlier of the next Annual
General Meeting or 24 July 2019 unless and to the extent that such
power is renewed, revoked or extended prior to such date, save the
Company may make before such expiry an offer or agreement which
would or might require relevant securities to be allotted after
such expiry, and the Directors may allot relevant securities in
pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the power conferred
by this resolution had not expired."
Resolution 8 (Special)
"That subject to the passing of Resolution 7 in the Notice of
this Meeting, the Directors of the Company are hereby empowered,
pursuant to 1022 of the Companies Act 2014, to allot equity
securities (as defined by Section 1023 of that Act) for cash
pursuant to the authority conferred by the ordinary resolution of
the Company passed as Resolution 7 in the Notice of this Meeting as
if Section 1022 of that Act did not apply to any such allotment,
provided that this power shall be limited to:
(a) the allotment of equity securities in connection with any
rights issue or other pre-emptive issue in favour of ordinary
shareholders (other than those holders with registered addresses
outside the State to whom an offer would, in the opinion of the
Directors, be impractical or unlawful in any jurisdiction) on the
register of members at such record date as the Directors may
determine where the equity securities respectively attributable to
the interests of such ordinary shareholders are proportionate (as
nearly as may be) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held
by them and subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the
Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with regulatory
requirements, legal or practical problems in respect of overseas
shareholders, fractional elements or otherwise; and
(b) the allotment of equity securities for cash (otherwise than
under paragraph a above) together with all Treasury Shares (as
contemplated in Section 1078 of the Companies Act 2014) re-issued
while this authority remains operable shall not exceed an aggregate
nominal value equal to 5% of the nominal value of the issued share
capital of the Company as at the date of this resolution;
Provided that:
i. the power hereby conferred shall expire at the close of
business on the earlier of the date on which the Annual General
Meeting of the Company is held in the year 2019 and the date which
is fifteen months after the date on which this resolution is passed
or deemed to have been passed, unless and to the extent that such
authority is renewed, revoked or extended prior to such date;
ii. the Company may make before such expiry 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 such an offer or agreement
notwithstanding that the power hereby conferred has expired;
and
iii. any power conferred on the Directors to allot equity
securities in accordance with Section 1022 of that Act which is in
force immediately before this resolution is passed or deemed to be
passed is hereby revoked."
Resolution 9 (Special)
"That subject to the passing of Resolution 7 in the Notice of
this Meeting, the Directors of the Company be and are hereby
authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in the Companies
Act 2014) for cash under the authority given by that resolution as
if section 1022 of the Companies Act 2014 did not apply to any such
allotment, provided that this authority shall be limited:
a. to circumstances where the proceeds of any such allotment are
to be used only for the purposes of financing (or re-financing, if
the authority is to be used within six months after the original
transaction) a transaction which the Directors determine to be an
acquisition or other capital investment of a kind contemplated by
the Statement of Principles on Dis-applying Pre-emption Rights most
recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of
this Notice; and so that the sum of the nominal value of all
allotments made pursuant to this authority and all Treasury Shares
(as contemplated in Section 1078 of the Companies Act 2014)
reissued while this authority remains operable shall not exceed an
aggregate nominal amount equal to 5% of the nominal value of the
issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this
resolution.
This authority shall expire at the end of the next Annual
General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, at the close of
business on 24 July 2019 but, in each case, prior to its expiry the
Company may make offers, and enter into agreements, which would, or
might, require equity securities to be allotted after the authority
expires and the Board may allot equity securities under any such
offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired."
Resolution 10 (Special)
"That it is hereby resolved that the provision in Article 54(a)
allowing for the convening of an Extraordinary General Meeting by
at least fourteen Clear Days' notice (where such meetings are not
convened for the passing of a special resolution) shall continue to
be effective."
Resolution 11 (Ordinary)
"That approval be and is hereby given for the establishment by
the Company of the Glanbia plc 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the
"2018 LTIP"), the principal features of which are summarised in the
circular to shareholders dated 16 March 2018 that accompanies the
Notice convening this Meeting, the rules of which are contained in
the document produced to the Meeting and initialled by the Chairman
of the Meeting for the purpose of identification; and that the
Directors be and are hereby authorised to take all such action or
steps (including the making of minor amendments to the 2018 LTIP
and the rules thereof as may be necessary) to implement or give
effect to the 2018 LTIP."
