To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolutions as special resolutions:

 

6.  That the Directors be and are hereby empowered, pursuant to Sections 1022 and 1023(3) of the Companies Act 2014, to allot equity securities (within the meaning of the said Section 1023(1)) for cash pursuant to the authority to allot relevant securities conferred on the Directors by Resolution 5 of this Notice of AGM as if Section 1022(1) did not apply to any such allotment, such power being limited to:

(vi)        in the event that the Ordinary Shares that are allotted represent, on a cumulative basis, within the period contemplated in this resolution, 5% or more of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue prior to that allotment, an announcement containing full details of such allotment shall be published on SENS.

 

 

 

8.  That pursuant to Section 1074 of the Companies Act 2014, the Company and any subsidiary of the Company be and they are each hereby generally authorised to make market purchases or overseas market purchases (as defined by Section 1072 of that Act) of Ordinary Shares of €0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Directors may determine from time to time; but subject however to the provisions of that Act and to the following restrictions and provisions and, subject to and with effect from the JSE Step-up becoming effective, the JSE Listings Requirements (provided the restrictions and provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements will not apply to the initial tranche of the Share Repurchase Programme, up to a maximum aggregate consideration of €25 million) (the "JSE Step-up", "JSE Listings Requirements" and "Share Repurchase Programme" each as defined in the document of which this Notice forms part) and:

 

a.   the maximum number of Ordinary Shares authorised to be acquired shall not exceed 14.99 per cent. of the ordinary share capital in issue in the Company as at close of business on the date on which this resolution is passed (it being noted that for purposes of the JSE Listings Requirements (if applicable) that this amount can never exceed 20 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company, excluding treasury shares, in any one financial year);

 

b.   the minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for any Ordinary Share shall be an amount equal to the nominal value thereof;

provided that, for purposes of the JSE Listings Requirements (if applicable), the above amounts cannot be greater than an amount that is 10% above the weighted average market value of the Ordinary Shares for the five business days prior to the day the purchase is made and therefore should the higher of the amounts in sub-paragraph (a) or (b), exceed same, they will be reduced to comply with the JSE Listings Requirements.

(A) if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day, the average of the prices at which such dealings took place; or

 

(B) if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the price at which such dealing took place; or

 

(C) if there shall not be any dealing reported for the day, the average of the closing bid and offer prices for the day,

d.   subject to and with effect from the JSE Step-up becoming effective, for the purposes of complying with the JSE Listings Requirements, the following additional restrictions shall apply to market purchases of Ordinary Shares:

 

(i)  the purchase of Ordinary Shares under this Resolution must continue to be authorised by the Constitution of the Company and must comply with the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland;

  (ii) the purchase of Ordinary Shares in terms of this Resolution shall be effected through the order book operated by the relevant exchange and done without any prior understanding or arrangement between the Company and the counter party (reported trades are prohibited);

  (iii) the Company may only appoint one agent to make any repurchases;

 (iv) neither the Company or any subsidiary of the Company will effect market purchases of Ordinary Shares during a prohibited period, as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, unless they have in place a repurchase programme which complies with the JSE Listings Requirements and which has been submitted to the JSE prior to the commencement of the prohibited period; and

 (v) an announcement must be published when the Company and its subsidiaries have cumulatively purchased 3% of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue at the time of granting this authority, and for each 3% in aggregate of the initial number of that acquired thereafter;

e.    the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire on close of business on the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date of passing this resolution or the date which is 15 calendar months after the date of passing of this resolution (whichever is earlier), unless previously varied, revoked or renewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1074 of the Companies Act 2014. The Company or any subsidiary may, before such expiry, enter into a contract for the purchase of Ordinary Shares which would or might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry and may complete any such contract as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.

 

9.    THAT:

 

a.   subject to the passing of Resolution 8 above, for the purposes of section 1078 of the Companies Act, the re-allotment price range at which any treasury shares (as defined by the said Companies Act) for the time being held by the Company may be re-allotted off-market as Ordinary Shares of €0.01 each of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") shall be as follows:

i.  the maximum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market shall be an amount equal to 120 per cent. of the Appropriate Price; and

 

ii. the minimum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market shall be an amount equal to 95 per cent. of the Appropriate Price;

 

b.   for the purposes of this resolution the expression "Appropriate Price" shall mean the average of the five amounts resulting from determining whichever of the following ((i), (ii) or (iii) specified below) in respect of Ordinary Shares shall be appropriate for each of the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such treasury share is re-allotted, as determined from information published in the Euronext Dublin Daily Official List (or any successor publication thereto or any equivalent publication for securities admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth Market) reporting the business done on each of those five business days:

 

i. if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day, the average of the prices at which such dealings took place; or

 

ii. if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the price at which such dealing took place; or

 

iii.  if there shall not be any dealing reported for the day, the average of the closing bid and offer prices for the day:

 

and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) price or an offer (but not a bid) price reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer price reported, for any particular day, then that day shall not be treated as a business day for the purposes of this sub-paragraph (b); provided that if for any reason it shall be impossible or impracticable to determine an appropriate amount for any of those five days on the above basis, the Directors may, if they think fit and having taken into account the prices at which recent dealings in such shares have taken place, determine an amount for such day and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be appropriate for that day for the purposes of calculating the Appropriate Price; and if the means of providing the foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the Appropriate Price is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then the Appropriate Price shall be determined on the basis of the equivalent information published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on Euronext Dublin or its equivalent; and

d.   the authority hereby conferred shall expire on close of business on the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date of passing this resolution or the date which is 15 calendar months after the date of passing of this resolution (whichever is earlier).
