 the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, the close of business on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the date on which the special resolution is passed, which is in line with the approach taken by public companies listed in the UK.  Like Resolution 13 above, this authorization applies under English law only and is separate from and in addition to any shareholder approval requirements imposed by the SEC or the listing rules of the NYSE, including the requirement that companies seek shareholder approval in order to issue 20% or more of a company's outstanding common stock or voting power, other than in an public offering for cash.                                                                                                                        
 Like Resolution 13 above, going forward, the Company intends to seek renewal of this authorization at each year’s annual general meeting of shareholders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 For this special resolution to be passed a majority of 75% (or more) of the votes cast on the special resolution must be cast in favor of the special resolution. The approval of this special resolution by the Company’s shareholders will not substitute for any approvals that may be required for a specific transaction under any applicable NYSE rule. Our Board believes that authorizing them to allot shares without rights of pre-emption is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
