 at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears. The board of directors may also pay half yearly, or at other suitable intervals to be settled by them, any fixed rate dividend if in the opinion of the board of directors the distributable profits justify the payment and if permitted by the Companies Act.

The board of directors may deduct from any dividend or other money payable to any person on or in respect of a share all such sums as may be due from such shareholder to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company.

Subject to any special rights attaching to or the terms of issue of any share, no dividend or other moneys payable by us on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against us. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of 12 years from the date such dividend became due for payment shall, if the board of directors so resolve, be forfeited and shall revert to us absolutely.

Dividends may be declared or paid in any currency and the board of directors may decide the rate of exchange for any currency conversions that may be required, and how any costs involved are to be met.

The board of directors may, by ordinary resolution of the Company, direct (or in the case of an interim dividend may without the authority of an ordinary resolution direct) that payment of any dividend declared may be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets, and in particular of paid up shares or debentures of any other company, or in any one or more of such ways. Dividends may be declared or paid in any currency and the board of directors may decide the rate of exchange for any currency conversions that may be required, and how any costs involved are to be met.
