 the U.K. Companies Act to issue equity securities under our equity plans without first offering these securities, in proportion to their existing holdings, to current shareholders. This authorization is required as a matter of English law and is not otherwise required for companies listed on the NYSE or organized within the United States. Under the U.K. Companies Act, our issuance of any equity securities 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 meeting of shareholders disapplying such preemption.

We propose that, subject to the passing of the resolution in Proposal 12, our Board be generally empowered to issue equity securities (as defined in section 560 of the U.K. Companies Act), up to an aggregate nominal amount o f € 27,735 , pursuant to the authority conferred by Proposal 12, free of the pre-emptive rights set forth in section 561 of the U.K. Companies Act. Absent this ability, our flexibility to issue shares previously authorized by shareholders in connection with our Equity Plans would be severely limited.

The form of shareholder resolution for this proposal is set forth under the heading "Shareholder Resolutions for 2025 Annual General Meeting" on page 76 of this proxy statement.

If this proposal is approved, our Board may issue equity securities under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan without the application of pre-emptive rights until the end of our next annual general meeting. If this proposal does not receive shareholder approval, we would be required to seek shareholder approval of the authority to issue equity securities under the Equity Plans without the application of pre-emptive rights at a future shareholders meeting.
