"That, if Resolution 7 is passed, the Directors be empowered for the purposes of Article 7 of the Articles of Association to allot equity securities (as defined by Section 1023 of the Companies Act 2014) for cash as if Section 1022 of the Companies Act 2014 did not apply to any such allotment and that, for the purpose of Article 7 of the Articles of Association, the Section 1023 Amount (as defined in Article 7 of the Articles of Association) pursuant to this Resolution 8 shall, for the current Allotment Period (as defined in Article 7 of the Articles of Association) or such part thereof up to expiry of this authority, be an aggregate nominal amount equal to €13,055 which represents 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) on 8 March 2024), except that this limit shall be reduced by the nominal value of all treasury shares reissued pursuant to Resolution 10. The authority conferred by this Resolution shall expire at close of business on the earlier of the date of the next AGM of the Company or 25 July 2025, unless renewed, revoked or varied prior to such time; provided that the Company may before such expiry make 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 offer or agreement as if the power hereby conferred had not expired."

9. To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolution as a special resolution:

"That, if Resolution 7 is passed and in addition to any authority granted under Resolution 8, the Directors be empowered for the purposes of Article 7 of the Articles of Association to allot additional equity securities (as defined by Section 1023 of the Companies Act 2014) for cash as if Section 1022 of the Companies Act 2014 did not apply to any such allotment provided that:

(a) for the purpose of Article 7 of the Articles of Association, the Section 1023 Amount (as defined in Article 7 of the Articles of Association) pursuant to this Resolution 9 shall, for the current Allotment Period (as defined in Article 7 of the Articles of Association) or such part thereof up to expiry of this authority, be an aggregate nominal amount equal to €13,055 (which represents 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) on 8 March 2024), except that this limit shall be reduced by the nominal value of all treasury shares reissued pursuant to Resolution 10; and

(b) the proceeds of any such allotment are to be used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, 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 Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice.

The authority conferred by this Resolution shall expire at close of business on the earlier of the date of the next AGM of the Company or 25 July 2025, unless renewed, revoked or varied prior to such time; provided that the Company may before such expiry make 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 offer or agreement as if the power hereby conferred had not expired."
