Special Business

  • 7. So as to maintain the maximum “headroom” available to the Directors for expanding the Company’s business by allotting equity securities of the Company for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis or for a consideration other than cash (vendor placements), the shareholders are to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolutions which will be proposed as special resolutions: THAT, Article 5.3 of the Company’s Articles of Association be deleted and replaced by: “The provisions of Article 5.2 are dis-applied in respect of any allotments of equity securities of the Company in an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% (twenty percent) of the Company’s total nominal issued share capital on 3 March 2010 such dis-application to apply until the earlier of (i) eighteen months from 3 March 2010 and (ii) the end of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company”. THAT article 5.4.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association, which limits the allotment of equity securities for a consideration other than cash in any twelve month period to 30% (thirty per cent) of the number of equity securities in the Company’s enlarged share capital, be amended as to remove such limitation. The amended article 5.4.1 is to read as follows: “the allotment of any equity securities for a consideration other than cash, and, accordingly, the Directors may allot or otherwise dispose of any unissued equity securities in the capital of the Company for a consideration other than cash to such persons at such times and generally on such terms as they may think fit;”
