2025 Annual General Meeting” beginning on page 76 of this proxy statement. There is no present intention to exercise this authority.

If this proposal is approved, our Board may allot equity securities up to the aggregate nominal value of equity securities set forth above until the next annual general meeting or August 31, 2026. In order to continue allotting shares after the Annual Meeting if this proposal does not receive shareholder approval, including to raise capital or to engage in merger and acquisition activity where the Company would like to issue shares, we would be required to seek shareholder approval of the authority to allot equity securities at a future general meeting or annual general meeting.

| PROPOSAL 11: RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO ISSUE EQUITY SECURITIES WITHOUT PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS |     |                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ☑                                                                                                                 |     | The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the authorization of the Board to issue equity shares without the application of pre-emptive rights. |

The special resolution proposed in this Proposal 11 is required under the U.K. Companies Act and is customary for public limited companies incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. This authorization is required as a matter of U.K. law and is not otherwise required for companies listed on the NYSE or organized within the U.S.

In addition to the authorization to allot securities as set forth in Proposal 10, under the U.K. Companies Act, the issuance of equity securities that are to be paid for wholly in cash (except shares held under an employees’ share scheme) must be offered first to the existing equity shareholders in proportion to their holdings, unless a special resolution (i.e., at least 75% of votes cast) has been passed in a general meeting of shareholders disapplying such pre-emption. Unlike most companies listed on the NYSE, which have no similar restrictions, our Board can only disapply pre-emptive rights in respect of such issuances authorized by our shareholders.

The Company proposes that, subject to the passing of the resolution included in Proposal 10, the directors of the Company be generally empowered to:

(a) (pursuant to section 570 of the U.K. Companies Act) allot equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the U.K. Companies Act) pursuant to the authority conferred by Proposal 10 for cash, and/or

(b) pursuant to section 573 of the
