 enter into agreements that would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or agreement notwithstanding that the power conferred by this resolution has expired.

There is no present intention to exercise this authority.

| 2025 PROXY STATEMENT - PAGE 68 |

Under the U.K. Companies Act, the authorization of the Board to issue shares without pre-emptive rights must be passed as a special resolution. As a special resolution, this proposal requires that at least 75% of the votes cast at the meeting be cast in favor of this proposal.

Under the U.K. Companies Act, the Company must seek authorization to allot equity securities without the application of pre-emptive rights at least as often as it is required to seek authorization to allot equity securities. If this proposal is approved, our Board may allot equity securities as limited by this resolution without the application of pre-emptive rights until the next annual general meeting or August 31, 2026.

In order to continue allotting equity securities without the application of pre-emptive rights following the Annual Meeting if this proposal does not receive shareholder approval, we would be required to seek shareholder approval of the authority to allot equity securities at a future annual general meeting.
