Company be empowered to 
allot new shares up to a 
maximum number of 245 
million shares of no par 
value. 
 
 The Board notes the significant number of votes received against Resolution 
  2 at the EGM, in relation to the dis-application of pre-emption rights (in 
  respect of the allotment of shares proposed by Resolution 1). The Board is 
     aware of the Pre-Emption Group's views in general about the granting of 
 certain disapplication authorities. The Board had set out its rationale for 
 Resolution 2 for the Company in the Extraordinary General Meeting Circular. 
 However, the Board notes the votes against the resolution and will continue 
  to engage with shareholders in order to understand their views in relation 
            to the specific authority sought. 
 
  The full text of the resolutions may be found in the Extraordinary General 
 Meeting Circular dated 13 April 2018, a copy of which are available on both
