amount paid thereon or the fact that they are fully paid, as the case may be, and may otherwise be in such form as shall be determined by the Board. Such certificates may be under Seal. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or
otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. The name and address of the person to whom the Shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of Shares and date of issue, shall be entered in the Register of Members of
the Company. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled. The Board may
authorise certificates to be issued with the seal and authorised signature(s) affixed by some method or system of mechanical process. In respect of a Share or Shares held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue a
certificate or certificates to each such person, and the issue and delivery of a certificate or certificates to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders. 



 

	23.	 If a Share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to
evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating such evidence, as the Board may prescribe, and, in the case of defacement or wearing out, upon delivery of the old certificate.



 REGISTER OF MEMBERS 
  

	24.	 The Company shall maintain or caused to be maintained a Register of its Members in accordance with the
Companies Act. 


  

	25.	 If the Board considers it necessary or appropriate, the Company may establish and maintain a duplicate Register
or Registers of Members at such location or locations within or outside Ireland as the Board thinks fit. The original Register of Members shall be treated as the Register of Members for the purposes of these Articles and the Companies Act.



  

	26.	 The Company, or any agent(s) appointed by it to maintain the duplicate Register of Members in accordance with
these Articles, shall as soon as practicable and on a regular basis record or procure the recording in the original Register of Members all transfers of Shares effected on any duplicate Register of Members and shall at all times maintain the
original Register of Members in such manner as to show at all times the Members for the time being and the Shares respectively held by them, in all respects in accordance with the Companies Act. 



 

	27.	 The Company shall not be bound to register more than four persons as joint holders of any Share. If any Share
shall stand in the names of two or more persons, the person first named in the Register of Members shall be deemed the sole holder thereof as regards service of notices and, subject to the provisions of these Articles, all or any other matters
connected with the Company. 


 TRANSFER OF SHARES 
  

	28.	 (1) The instrument of transfer, which shall be in such form as the Board may approve, of any Share may be
executed for and on behalf of the transferor by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, or any such person that the Secretary or Assistant Secretary nominates for that purpose (whether in respect of specific transfers or pursuant to a general
standing authorisation), and the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or the relevant nominee shall be deemed to have been irrevocably appointed agent for the transferor of such Share or Shares with full power to execute, complete and deliver in the name
of and on behalf of the transferor of such Share or Shares all such transfers of Shares held by the Members in 



  
 12 













 
the Share capital of the Company. Any document which records the name of the transferor, the name of the transferee, the class and number of Shares agreed to be transferred, the date of the
agreement to transfer Shares, shall, once executed by the transferor or the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or the relevant nominee as agent for the transferor, be deemed to be a proper instrument of transfer for the purposes of the Companies Act.
The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the Share until the name of the transferee is entered on the Register in respect thereof, and neither the title of the transferee nor the title of the transferor shall be affected by any
irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale should the Directors so determine. 
 (2) The Company, at its absolute
discretion, may, or may procure that a subsidiary of the Company shall, pay Irish stamp duty arising on a transfer of Shares on behalf of the transferee of such Shares of the Company. If stamp duty resulting from the transfer of Shares in the
Company which would otherwise be payable by the transferee is paid by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company on behalf of the transferee, then in those circumstances, the Company shall, on its behalf or on behalf of its subsidiary (as the case
may be), be entitled to (i) seek reimbursement of the stamp duty from the transferee, (ii) set-off the stamp duty against any dividends payable to the transferee of those Shares and (iii) to
claim a first and permanent lien on the Shares on which stamp duty has been paid by the Company or its subsidiary for the amount of stamp duty paid. The Company’s lien shall extend to all dividends paid on those Shares. 

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of these Articles and subject to any regulations made under the Companies Act, title to any Shares in the
Company may also be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument in accordance with the Companies Act or any regulations made thereunder. The Directors shall have power to permit any class of Shares to be held in uncertificated form and to
implement any arrangements they think fit for such evidencing and transfer which accord with such regulations and in particular shall, where appropriate, be entitled to disapply or modify all or part of the provisions in these Articles with respect
to the requirement for written instruments of transfer and Share certificates (if any), in order to give effect to such regulations. 
  

	29.	 The Board may, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason, refuse to register a transfer of
any Share which is not fully paid. The Board may also, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason for its decision, refuse to register a transfer of any Share unless: 



 

	 	(1)	 the instrument of transfer is duly stamped (if required by law) and lodged with the Company accompanied by the
certificate for the Shares (if any) to which it relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; 



 

	 	(2)	 the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Shares; 



 

	 	(3)	 in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to which the Share is to be transferred
does not exceed four; and 


  

	 	(4)	 it is satisfied that all applicable consents, authorisations, permissions, or approvals required to be obtained
pursuant to any applicable law or agreement prior to such transfer have been obtained or that no such consents, authorisations, permissions or approvals are required. 



 

	30.	 If the Board shall refuse to register a transfer of any Share, it shall, within two (2) months after the
date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. 



  
 13 














	31.	 The Company shall not be obligated to make any transfer to an infant or to a person in respect of whom an order
has been made by a competent court or official on the grounds that they are or may be suffering from mental disorder or is otherwise incapable of managing their affairs or under other legal disability. 



 

	32.	 Upon every transfer of Shares the certificate (if any) held by the transferor shall be given up to be
cancelled, and shall forthwith be cancelled accordingly, and a new certificate may be issued without charge to the transferee in respect of the Shares transferred to them, and if any of the Shares included in the certificate so given up shall be
retained by the transferor, a new certificate in respect thereof may be issued to them without charge. The Company shall also retain the instrument(s) of transfer. 



 

	33.	 All instruments of transfer shall upon their being lodged with the Company remain the property of the Company
and the Company shall be entitled to retain them. 


  

	34.	 Subject to the provisions of these Articles, whenever as a result of a consolidation of Shares or otherwise any
Members would become entitled to fractions of a Share, the Directors may sell or cause to be sold, on behalf of those Members, the Shares representing the fractions for the best price reasonably obtainable to any person and distribute the proceeds
of sale (subject to any applicable tax and abandoned property laws) in due proportion among those Members, and the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares to, or in accordance with the directions of,
the purchaser. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall their title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale. 



REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF SHARES 
  

	35.	 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and these Articles, the Company may issue Redeemable Shares that
are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of Ordinary Shares shall be effected in accordance with Article 12 and in such manner as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine
before the issue of the Ordinary Shares and the redemption of Preferred Shares shall be effected in such manner as the Board may, by resolution, determine before the issue of the Preferred Shares. 



 

	36.	 Subject to the Companies Act, the Company may, without prejudice to any relevant special rights attached to any
class of Shares pursuant to the Companies Act, purchase any of its own Shares whether in the market, by tender or by private agreement, at such prices (whether at nominal value or above or below nominal value) and otherwise on such terms and
conditions as the Board may from time to time determine including any Redeemable Shares and without any obligation to purchase on any pro rata basis as between Members or Members of the same class (the whole or any part of the amount payable on any
such purchase may be paid or satisfied otherwise than in cash, to the extent permitted by the Companies Act) and may cancel any Shares so purchased or hold them as treasury Shares (as defined in the Companies Act) and may reissue any such Shares as
Shares of any class or classes. 


  

	37.	 The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner
permitted by the Companies Act. 


  

	38.	 The holder of the Shares being purchased shall be bound to deliver up to the Company at its registered office
or such other place as the Board shall specify, the certificate(s) (if any) thereof for cancellation and thereupon the Company shall pay to them the purchase or redemption monies or consideration in respect thereof. 



  
 14 













 VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES 

 

	39.	 If at any time the Share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights
attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a
Special Resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. 


  

	40.	 The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis to every such
general meeting of the holders of one class of Shares except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of the issued Shares of the class.



  

	41.	 The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall
not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or be deemed to be varied by a purchase or redemption
by the Company of its own Shares. The rights of holders of Ordinary Shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights which may be effected by the Board as provided in these Articles without
any vote or consent of the holders of Ordinary Shares. 


 LIEN ON SHARES 

 

	42.	 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every Share (not being a fully paid Share) for all moneys
(whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Directors, at any time, may declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share
shall extend to all moneys payable in respect of it. 


  

	43.	 The Company may sell in such manner as the Directors determine any Share on which the Company has a lien if a
sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice demanding payment, and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Share may be sold, has been given to the holder of the
Share or to the person entitled to it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder. 


  

	44.	 To give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the
Share sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Share comprised in any such transfer and they shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase
moneys nor shall their title to the Share be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale, and after the name of the transferee has been entered in the Register, the remedy of any person aggrieved by the
sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively. 


  

	45.	 The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for
which the lien exists as is presently payable and any residue (upon surrender to the Company for cancellation of the certificate for the Shares sold and subject to a like lien for any moneys not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before
the sale) shall be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale. 


 CALLS ON SHARES 

 

	46.	 Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys
unpaid on their Shares and each Member (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) shall pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called on their Shares. A call may
be required 



  
 15 














	 	
to be paid by instalments. A call may be revoked before receipt by the Company of a sum due thereunder, in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. A person
upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon them notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. 


 

	47.	 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call
was passed. 


  

	48.	 The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.



  

	49.	 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall
pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the Share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at the appropriate rate (as defined by the Companies Act)
but the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part. 


  

	50.	 An amount payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value
or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call. 



 

	51.	 Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of Shares for a difference
between the holders in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their Shares. 


  

	52.	 The Directors, if they think fit, may receive from any Member willing to advance the same all or any part of
the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by them, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may pay (until the same would, but for such advance, become payable) interest at such rate, not exceeding (unless the Company in general
meeting otherwise directs) fifteen per cent. per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such sum in advance. 



FORFEITURE 
  

	53.	 If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the
Directors, at any time thereafter during such times as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid, may serve a notice on them requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid together with any interest which may have
accrued. 


  

	54.	 The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen clear days from the date of
service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the
call was made will be liable to be forfeited. 


  

	55.	 If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with then, at any time thereafter before
the payment required by the notice has been made, any Shares in respect of which the notice has been given may be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other moneys payable in
respect of the forfeited Shares and not paid before forfeiture. The Directors may accept a surrender of any Share liable to be forfeited hereunder. 


  

	56.	 On the trial or hearing of any action for the recovery of any money due for any call it shall be sufficient to
prove that the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the Shares in respect of which such debt accrued, that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book and that notice of
such call was duly 



  
 16 














	 	
given to the Member sued, in pursuance of these Articles, and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call nor any other matters whatsoever, but the
proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt. 

  

	57.	 A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think
fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal such a Share is to be transferred to any person, the Directors may authorise some
person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share to that person. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the Share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to
whom the Share is sold or disposed of and thereupon they shall be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall their title to the Share be affected by any
irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share. 


  

	58.	 A person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but
nevertheless shall remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by them to the Company in respect of the Shares, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the Shares at the time of
forfeiture but their liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the Shares. 


  

	59.	 A statutory declaration that the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company, and that a Share in
the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. 



 

	60.	 The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of
non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the Share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by
virtue of a call duly made and notified. 


  

	61.	 The Directors may accept the surrender of any Share which the Directors have resolved to have been forfeited
upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed and, subject to any such terms and conditions, a surrendered Share shall be treated as if it has been forfeited. 



COMMISSION ON SALE OF SHARES 
  

	62.	 The Company may exercise the powers of paying commissions to any person in consideration of their subscribing
or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgement of fully or partly paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful. 



NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS 
  

	63.	 The Company shall not be obligated to recognise any person as holding any Share upon any trust (except as is
otherwise provided in these Articles or to the extent required by law) and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future, or partial interest in any
Share, or any interest in any fractional part of a Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Companies Act) any other rights in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered
holder. This shall not preclude the Company from requiring the Members or a transferee of Shares to furnish to the Company with information as to the beneficial ownership of any Share when such information is reasonably required by the Company.
 



  
 17 













 TRANSMISSION OF SHARES 
  

	64.	 In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the
personal representatives of the deceased where they were a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to their interest in the Shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased
joint holder from any liability in respect of any Share which had been jointly held by them with other persons. 


  

	65.	 Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member may, upon such
evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the Directors and subject as herein provided, elect either to be registered themselves as Holder of the Share or to have some person nominated by them registered as the
transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Shares by that Member before their death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.



  

	66.	 If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered themselves, they shall deliver or send to the
Company a notice in writing signed by them stating that they so elect. 


  

	67.	 A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder shall be entitled to
the same dividends and other advantages to which they would be entitled if they were the registered holder of the Share, except that they shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to
exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to the meetings of the Company, provided, however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring such person to elect either to be registered themselves or to transfer the Share, and
if the notice is not complied with within 90 days, the Directors may thereupon withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.



 AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION, CHANGE OF LOCATION OF REGISTERED OFFICE AND ALTERATION OF CAPITAL 

 

	68.	 The Company may by Ordinary Resolution and in accordance with section 83 of the Companies Act, do one or more
of the following, from time to time: 


  

	 	(1)	 increase the Share capital by such sum and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto as such
Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe; 


  

	 	(2)	 consolidate and divide all or any of its Share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;



  

	 	(3)	 subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them, into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the memorandum of
association subject, nevertheless, to the Companies Act so, however, that in the sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it
was in the case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; 


  

	 	(4)	 cancel any Shares which, at the date of the passing of the relevant Ordinary Resolution, have not been taken or
agreed to be taken by any person; or 


  

	 	(5)	 subject to applicable law, change the currency denomination of its Share capital. 



  
 18 














	69.	 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Company may do one or more of the following, from time to
time: 


  

	 	(1)	 by Special Resolution change its name, alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or
other matters specified therein or alter or add to these Articles; 


  

	 	(2)	 by Special Resolution reduce its issued Share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund or any Share
premium account or any undenominated capital in any manner and with and subject to any incident authorised, and consent required, by law; or 


  

	 	(3)	 by resolution of the Directors change the location of its registered office. 



CLOSING REGISTER OF MEMBERS OR FIXING RECORD DATE 
  

	70.	 For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Members or any
adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Board may provide, subject to the requirements of the Companies Act, that the Register of
Members shall be closed for transfers at such times and for such periods, not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year. If the Register of Members shall be so closed for the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of Members such Register of Members shall be so closed for at least five (5) days immediately preceding such meeting and the record date for such determination shall be the date of the closure of the Register of Members.



  

	71.	 In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Board may fix in advance a date as the record
date (a) for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members, which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, and
(b) for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to the
date of payment of such dividend or the taking of any action to which such determination of Members is relevant. The record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Directors.



  

	72.	 If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date immediately preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is deemed given under these Articles or the date on which the
resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in
these Articles, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the Directors may fix a new record date of the adjourned meeting, if they think fit. 



GENERAL MEETINGS 
  

	73.	 The Company, in accordance with requirements of the Companies Act, shall in each calendar year hold a general
meeting as its annual general meeting in addition to any other meeting in that year, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting of the
Company and that of the next. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint, provided that the period between the date of one annual general meeting of the Company and that of the next shall not be
longer than such period as applicable law or the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange permits. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented. 



  
 19 














	74.	 Subject to the Companies Act, all general meetings of the Company may be held inside or outside of Ireland as
determined by the Board. 


  

	75.	 The Board may whenever it thinks fit, and shall, on the requisition in writing of Members holding such number
of Shares as is prescribed by, and made in accordance with the Companies Act, proceed to convene a general meeting of the Company. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings. Subject always
to the Companies Act and the necessary Member approvals, all general meetings of the Company may be held at such place, either inside or outside of Ireland, as determined by the Board. 



 

	76.	 Board may postpone any general meeting of the Members (other than a meeting requisitioned under section 178(3)
of the Companies Act or the postponement of which would be contrary to the Companies Act or any enactment or order of the court) after it has been convened, where the Board in its absolute discretion considers that the reasons for convening the
meeting no longer exist or it is, for any reason, not in the company’s interests to hold the meeting and such postponement may be expressed to be for a particular period of time or indefinitely. 



 

	77.	 Where the Board postpones a general meeting: 



 

	 	(1)	 the Company shall cause notice of the postponement to be given in accordance with the Articles to all Members
entitled to notice of the meeting before the date for which the meeting was convened; 


  

	 	(2)	 no meeting shall be held and no business may be transacted on the date and at the time on which the meeting was
originally convened; and 


  

	 	(3)	 if and when it is decided to hold the meeting, it shall be convened in accordance with the provisions of these
Articles and the Companies Act. 


  

			
	 78.  
	  	 (1)   The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that any general meeting
shall be held outside of Ireland provided that the Company makes, at its expense, all necessary arrangements to ensure that Members can by technological means participate in any such meeting without leaving Ireland. If an annual general meeting of
the Company is held outside of the United States, the Company will provide Members and proxies with the ability to access the meeting by Remote Communication (as defined below) for so long as the Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b)
or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

		
		  	 (2)   Subject to paragraph (1) above, the Board may, in its sole
discretion, determine that a general meeting may be held solely by means of remote communication that enables Members and proxies entitled to attend the meeting to listen to the meeting, watch the meeting or both and send questions to the
Chairperson of the meeting, to be addressed at the meeting, if deemed proper (“Remote Communication”) as follows:


  

	 	(a)	 if authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board
may adopt, Members and proxies entitled to attend and vote but not physically present at a meeting of Members may, by means of Remote Communication: 


  

	 	(i)	 participate in a meeting of Members; 



  
 20 














	 	(ii)	 hear all persons who speak (whether by the use of microphones, loudspeakers, audio-visual communications
equipment or otherwise) in the principal meeting place and any by any means of Remote Communication; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of Members whether such meeting is to be held at a designated
place or solely by means of Remote Communication; and/or 


  

	 	(b)	 if authorised by the Board, any vote taken by written ballot may be satisfied by a ballot submitted by
electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the Member or proxy. Any such general
meeting shall be deemed to have taken place at the location of the majority of the Board. 


 NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS 

 

	79.	 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act allowing a general meeting to be called by shorter notice, an
annual general meeting, and an extraordinary general meeting called for the passing of a Special Resolution, shall be called by at least twenty-one (21) clear days’ notice and all other extraordinary
general meetings shall be called by at least fourteen (14) clear days’ notice. 


  

	80.	 Such notice shall state the date, time, place and purposes of the general meeting to which it relates. Every
notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given or deemed to be given and of the day for which it is given and shall specify such other details as are required by applicable law or the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the
listing of the Shares on the Exchange. 


  

	81.	 A general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this regulation has been given
and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if applicable law so permits and it is so agreed by the Auditors and by all the Members entitled to attend and
vote thereat or their proxies. 


  

	82.	 The notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such, and the notice convening a
meeting to pass a Special Resolution shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as a Special Resolution. Notice of every general meeting shall be given to all Members other than such as, under the provisions hereof or the terms of issue
of the Shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from the Company. 


  

	83.	 There shall appear with reasonable prominence in every notice of general meetings of the Company a statement
that a Member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of them and that any proxy need not be a Member of the Company. 



 

	84.	 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the
non-receipt of notice of a meeting by any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting. 



 

	85.	 In cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with notices, the accidental omission to send such instrument
of proxy to, or the non-receipt of such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed or any proceeding at any such meeting. A Member present, either
in person or by proxy, at any general meeting of the Company or of the holders of any class of Shares in the Company, will be deemed to have received notice of that meeting and, where required, of the purpose for which it was called.

 PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS 

 

	86.	 All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting and also that is
transacted at an annual general meeting, with the exception of: 


  

	 	(1)	 the consideration of the Company’s statutory financial statements and the report of the directors and the
report of the Auditors on those statements and that report; 


  

	 	(2)	 the review by the Members of the Company’s affairs; 



 

	 	(3)	 the declaration of a dividend (if any) of an amount not exceeding the amount recommended by the directors;



  

	 	(4)	 the authorisation of the directors to approve the remuneration of the Auditors; and 



 

	 	(5)	 the election and re-election of directors. 



 

	87.	 No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. One or more Members present
in person or by proxy holding not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting in question shall be a quorum. 



 

	88.	 If within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened
upon the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other time or such other place as the Board may determine and if at the
adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting the Members present shall be a quorum. 


  

	89.	 The Chairperson, if any, of the Board shall preside as Chairperson at every general meeting of the Company, or
if there is no such Chairperson, or if they shall not be present within one hour after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be Chairperson of the meeting
or if all of the Directors present decline to take the chair, then the Members present shall choose one of their own number to be Chairperson of the meeting. 


  


	90.	 The Chairperson may, with the consent of any general meeting duly constituted hereunder, and shall if so
directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a
general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting; save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be
transacted at an adjourned general meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. 



 

					
	 91.  
	  	 (1)   Subject to the Companies Act, a resolution may only be put to
a vote at a general meeting of the Company or of any class of Members if:

			
		  	 (a)   it is proposed by or at the direction of the Board;
	  	
			
		  	 (b)   it is proposed at the direction of the Court; or
	  	


	


  
 22 














	 	(c)	 it is proposed on the requisition in writing of such number of Members as is prescribed by, and is made in
accordance with the Companies Act; 


  

	 	(d)	 it is proposed pursuant to, and in accordance with the procedures and requirements of, Articles 86 or 87; or



  

	 	(e)	 the Chairperson of the meeting in their absolute discretion decides that the resolution may properly be
regarded as within the scope of the meeting. 


  

	 	(2)	 No amendment may be made to a resolution, at or before the time when it is put to a vote, unless the
Chairperson of the meeting in their absolute discretion decides that the amendment or the amended resolution may properly be put to a vote at that meeting. 


  

	 	(3)	 If the Chairperson of the meeting rules a resolution or an amendment to a resolution admissible or out of order
(as the case may be), the proceedings of the meeting or on the resolution in question shall not be invalidated by any error in their ruling. Any ruling by the Chairperson of the meeting in relation to a resolution or an amendment to a resolution
shall be final and conclusive. 


  

	92.	 Except where a greater majority is required by the Companies Act or these Articles, any question proposed for
consideration at any general meeting of the Company or of any class of Members shall be decided by an Ordinary Resolution. 


  

	93.	 At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a
poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by: 


  

	 	(1)	 the Chairperson; or 


  


	 	(2)	 by at least three Members present in person or by proxy; or 



 

	 	(3)	 by any Member or Members present in person or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the Members having the right to vote at the meeting; or 


  

	 	(4)	 by a Member or Members holding Shares in the Company conferring the right to vote at the meeting being Shares
on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the Shares conferring that right. 



Unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the Chairperson that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried or carried unanimously,
or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in
favour of or against such resolution. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn. 
  

	94.	 Except as provided in Article 95, if a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the
Chairperson directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. 


  

	95.	 A poll demanded on the election of the Chairperson or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A
poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time, not being not being more than ten days from the date of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote was taken, as the Chairperson of the meeting directs, and any business other
than that on which a poll has been demanded may be proceeded with pending the taking of the poll. 



  
 23 














	96.	 No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the
resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded. On a poll a Member entitled to more than one vote need not use all their votes or cast all the votes they use in the same way. 



 

	97.	 In the case of an equality of votes the Chairperson of the general meeting at which the poll is taken shall not
be entitled to a second or casting vote. 


 NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS 

 

	98.	 Nominations of persons for election to the Board (other than directors to be nominated by any series of
Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class) at a general meeting may only be made: 


  

	 	(1)	 pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting pursuant to Article 79 at the recommendation of the Board;



  

	 	(2)	 by or at the direction of the Board or any authorised committee thereof or (c) by any Member who:



  

	 	(a)	 complies with the notice procedures set forth in Articles 183 or 184, as applicable; 



 

	 	(b)	 was a Member at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary and on the record date for the determination
of Members entitled to vote at such general meeting; and 


  

	 	(c)	 is present at the relevant general meeting, either in person or by proxy, to present their nomination,
provided, however, that Member shall only be entitled to nominate persons for election to the Board at annual general meetings or at general meetings called specifically for the purpose of electing directors. 



 

	99.	 For nominations of persons for election to the Board (other than directors to be nominated by any series of
Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class) to be properly brought before an annual general meeting by a Member, such annual general meeting must have been called for the purpose of, among other things, electing directors and such Member must
have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a Member’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the registered office of the Company, or such other address as the Secretary may designate, not less than 120
days nor more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date the Company’s proxy statement was first released to Members in connection with the prior year’s annual general meeting; provided, however, that in the event the date of
the annual general meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary date of the prior year’s annual general meeting, notice by the Member of Shares to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to such
annual general meeting and not later than the later of the 120th day prior to such annual general meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such Member’s notice shall set
forth: 


  

	 	(1)	 as to each person whom the Member proposes to nominate for election or
re-election as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in
each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of the United States of America, as amended, or any successor provisions thereto, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a
nominee and to serving as a director if elected; 



  
 24 














	 	(2)	 as to the Member giving the notice: 



 

	 	(a)	 the name and address of such Member, as they appear on the Register of Members; 



 

	 	(b)	 the class and number of Shares that are owned beneficially and/or of record by such Member;



  

	 	(c)	 a representation that the Member is a registered holder of Shares entitled to vote at such meeting and intends
to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination; and 


  

	 	(d)	 a statement as to whether the Member intends or is part of a group that intends: 



 

	 	(i)	 to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s
outstanding Share capital required to approve or elect the nominee; and/or 


  

	 	(ii)	 otherwise to solicit proxies from Members in support of such nomination. 



The Board may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such
proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company, including such evidence satisfactory to the Board that such nominee has no interests that would limit such nominee’s ability to fulfil their duties as a director. 

 

	100.	 For nominations of persons for election to the Board (other than directors to be nominated by any series of
Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class) to be properly brought before a general meeting other than an annual general meeting by a Member, such Member must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a
Member’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the registered office of the Company or such other address as the Secretary may designate, not earlier than the 150th day prior to such general meeting and not later than the 120th day
prior to such general meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the general meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. Such Member’s notice shall
set forth the same information as is required by provisions (1) and (2) of Article 184. 


  

	101.	 Unless otherwise provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Shares or any agreement among Members or
other agreement approved by the Board, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Articles 183 and 184 shall be eligible to serve as directors of the Company. If the Chairperson of a general meeting determines that
a proposed nomination was not made in compliance with Articles 183 and 184, they shall declare to the meeting that nomination is defective and such defective nomination shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these
Articles, if the Member (or a qualified representative of the Member) does not appear at the general meeting to present their nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded. 



VOTES OF MEMBERS 
  

	102.	 Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, every
Member of record present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each Share registered in their name in the Register of Members. 


  

	103.	 In the case of joint holders of record, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or
by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members.  



  
 25 














	104.	 A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction
(whether in Ireland or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder, may vote by their committee, receiver, guardian, or other person appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, guardian or other persons may vote by proxy.
Evidence to the satisfaction of the Directors of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote shall be received at the registered office or at such other address as is specified in accordance with these Articles for the receipt
of appointments of proxy and in default the right to vote shall not be exercisable. 


  

	105.	 No Member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless they are registered as a Member on the record
date for such meeting. 


  

	106.	 No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned
general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at such general meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairperson of the general meeting
whose decision shall be final and conclusive. 


  

	107.	 Votes may be given either personally or by proxy. A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy
under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting and may appoint one proxy to vote both in favour of and against the same resolution in such proportion as specified in the instrument appointing the proxy. Where a Member appoints more
than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands. 


 PROXIES 

 

	108.	 The rules and procedures relating to the form or a proxy, the depositing or filing of proxies and voting
pursuant to a proxy and any other matter incidental thereto shall be approved by the Board, subject to such rules and procedures as required by applicable law or the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the
Exchange and as provided in the following Articles under this heading of “PROXIES”. 


  

	109.	 Every Member entitled to attend and vote at a general meeting may appoint one or more proxies to attend, speak
and vote on their behalf. The appointment of a proxy shall be in any form consistent with the Companies Act which the Directors may approve and, if required by the Company, shall be signed by or on behalf of the appointor. In relation to written
proxies, a body corporate must sign a form of proxy under its common seal (if applicable) or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney thereof or in such other manner as the Directors may approve. 



 

	110.	 Without limiting the foregoing, the Directors may from time to time permit appointments of a proxy to be made
by means of an electronic, telephonic or internet communication or facility and may in a similar manner permit supplements to, or amendments or revocations of, any such electronic, telephonic or internet communication or facility to be made. The
Directors may in addition prescribe the method of determining the time at which any such electronic, telephonic or internet communication or facility is to be treated as received by the Company. The Directors may treat any such electronic,
telephonic or internet communication or facility which purports to be or is expressed to be sent on behalf of a Member as sufficient evidence of the authority of the person sending that instruction to send it on behalf of that Member. A proxy need
not be a Member of the Company. The appointment of a proxy in electronic, telephonic or internet communication or other form shall only be effective in such manner as the Directors may approve. An instrument or other form of communication appointing
or 



  
 26 














	 	
evidencing the appointment of a proxy or a corporate representative (other than a standing proxy or representative) together with such evidence as to its due execution as the Board may from time
to time require, may be returned to the address or addresses stated in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or any other information or communication by such time or times as may be specified in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or in
any other such information or communication (which times may differ when more than one place is so specified) or, if no such time is specified, at any time prior to the holding of the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting at which the appointee
proposes to vote, and, subject to the Companies Act, if not so delivered the appointment shall not be treated as valid. 

  

	111.	 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in the form prescribed by the Companies Act and may be expressed to
be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll. 



 

	112.	 Subject to the foregoing, a Member may appoint a proxy by means of an “omnibus” or
“enduring” proxy with or without a power of substitution. Such “omnibus” or “enduring” proxy may provide that all persons who appear in a specified register maintained by the Depositary Trust Company
(“DTC”) (each a “specified holder”) may act as proxy for so long as the name of the specified holder appears in the specified DTC register in respect of the relevant number of Shares which appear opposite the
name of the specified holder in the DTC register from time to time in respect of all meetings of the Company, and if any specified holder does not attend a meeting of the Company, the relevant Member may appoint such other persons as may be
nominated by the specified holder from time to time in accordance with the proxy registration system for specified holders as the Member’s proxy in respect of all meetings of the Company. 



CORPORATE MEMBERS 
  

	113.	 Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in
accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any
class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which they represent as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member. 



DIRECTORS 
  

	114.	 There shall be a Board consisting of not less than two or more than twelve persons and the number of directors
shall be determined by the Board, provided however that the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase or reduce the upper limit. So long as Shares of the Company are listed on an Exchange, the Board shall include such number of
Independent Directors as the relevant code, rules or regulations applicable to the listing of any Shares on the Exchange require. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, provided that if the number of the
Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum the remaining Director or Directors shall appoint forthwith an additional Director or additional Directors to make up such minimum or shall convene a general meeting of the Company for the purpose of
making such appointment, but for no other purpose. 


  

	115.	 If, at any annual general meeting of the Company, the number of Directors is reduced below the prescribed
minimum due to the failure of any Directors to be re-elected, then in those circumstances, the two Directors who receive the highest number of votes in favour of re-election shall be re-elected and shall remain Directors until such time as additional Directors have been appointed to replace them as Directors. If, at any annual general meeting of the Company, the number of Directors is reduced
below the prescribed minimum in any circumstances where one Director is re-elected, then that Director shall hold office until the 



  
 27 














	 	
next annual general meeting and the Director which (excluding the re-elected Director) receives the highest number of votes in favour of re-election shall be re-elected and shall remain a Director until such time as one or more additional Directors have been appointed to replace them. If there be no Director or
Directors able or willing to act then any two Members may summon a general meeting for the purpose of appointing Directors. Any additional Director so appointed shall hold office (subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and these Articles)
only until the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company next following such appointment unless they are re-elected during such meeting. 


 

	116.	 The Company at the annual general meeting in each year or the Company at any extraordinary general meeting
called for the purpose may appoint any eligible person as a Director. Each Director shall be elected by an Ordinary Resolution at such meeting, provided that if, as of, or at any time prior to, 120 days in advance of the anniversary of the
immediately preceding annual general meeting, the number of Director nominees exceeds the number of Directors determined by the Board in accordance with this Article (a “contested election”), each of those nominees shall be
voted upon as a separate resolution and the Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the Shares present in person or represented by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. 



 

	117.	 For the purposes of Article 116, “elected by a plurality” means the election of those
Director nominees, equal in number to the number of positions to be filled at the relevant general meeting that received the highest number of votes in the contested election. 



REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS 
  

	118.	 The remuneration to be paid to the Directors shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine from
time to time. Such remuneration shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. The Directors shall also be entitled to be paid their travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in going to, attending and returning from meetings of the
Directors, or any committee of the Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Board from time to time, or
a combination partly of one such method and partly the other. 


  

	119.	 The Board may approve additional remuneration to any Director undertaking any special work or services for, or
undertaking any special mission on behalf of, the Company other than their ordinary routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who is also counsel or solicitor to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity shall be
in addition to their remuneration as a Director. 


  

	120.	 The Board may approve additional remuneration to any Director for any services other than their ordinary
routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who is also legal counsel to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity shall be in addition to their remuneration as a Director. 



NO MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING 
  

	121.	 No shareholding qualification is required to be held by a Director. 



DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS 
  

	122.	 A Director of the Company who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract,
transaction or arrangement or proposed contract, transaction or arrangement with the Company shall, in accordance with the Companies Act, declare the nature of their interest at the first opportunity either (a) at a meeting of the Board at
which the question of entering into the contract, transaction or arrangement is first taken into consideration, if the Director of the 



  
 28 














	 	
Company knows this interest then exists, or in any other case, at the first meeting of the Board after learning that they are or have become so interested or (b) by providing a general
notice to the Directors declaring that they are a director of, or have an interest in, a person and are to be regarded as interested in any transaction or arrangement made with that person, and after giving such general notice it shall not be
necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.  

  

	123.	 A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of its
Auditor) in conjunction with their office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Board may determine. 


  

	124.	 A Director is expressly permitted (for the purposes section 228(l)(d) of the Companies Act) to use the property
of the Company pursuant to or in connection with the exercise or performance of their duties, functions and powers as Director or employee; the terms of any contract of service or employment or letter of appointment; and, or in the alternative, any
other usage authorised by the Directors (or a person authorised by the Directors) from time to time; and including in each case for a Director’s own benefit or for the benefit of another person. 



 

	125.	 As recognised by section 228(l)(e) of the Companies Act, the directors may agree to restrict their power to
exercise an independent judgment but only where this has been expressly approved by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company. 


  

	126.	 A Director may act by themselves or their firm in a professional capacity for the Company (other than as its
Auditor) and they or their firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if they were not a Director. 


  

	127.	 A Director may be or become a director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director,
executive director, manager or Member of any other company or otherwise interested in any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as shareholder or otherwise, and no such Director shall be accountable to the Company
for any remuneration or other benefits received by them as a director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director, executive director, manager or Member of such other company; provided that they have declared the nature of
their position with, or interest in, such company to the Board in accordance with Article 122. 


  

	128.	 No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director of the Company or prevented by such office from
contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director of the Company shall be in any way interested be or
be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director or officer of the Company so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director of the Company
holding office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established; provided that: 


  

	 	(1)	 they have declared the nature of their interest in such contract or transaction to the Board in accordance with
Article 122; and 


  

	 	(2)	 the contract or transaction is approved by a majority of the disinterested Directors, notwithstanding the fact
that the disinterested Directors may represent less than a quorum. 


  

	129.	 A Director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board which authorises or
approves the contract, transaction or arrangement in which they are interested and they shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract, transaction or arrangement in which they are interested, provided that the nature of the interest of any
Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by them in accordance with Article 122, at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.  



  
 29 














	130.	 For the purpose of Article 122: 



 

	 	(1)	 a general notice given to the Directors that a Director is to be regarded as having an interest of the nature
and extent specified in the notice in any transaction or arrangement in which a specified person or class of persons is interested shall be deemed to be a disclosure that the Director has an interest in any such transaction of the nature and extent
so specified; 


  

	 	(2)	 an interest of which a Director has no knowledge and of which it is unreasonable to expect them to have
knowledge shall not be treated as an interest of theirs; and 


  

	 	(3)	 a copy of every declaration made and notice given under Article 122 shall be entered within three days after
the making or giving thereof in a book kept for this purpose. Such book shall be open for inspection without charge by any Director, Secretary, Auditor or Member of the Company at the registered office and shall be produced at every general meeting
of the Company and at any meeting of the Directors if any Director so requests in sufficient time to enable the book to be available at the meeting. 



BORROWING POWERS 
  

	131.	 Subject to the Companies Act, the Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow or raise
money, and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property, assets and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or
obligation of the Company or of any third party, without any limitation as to amount. 


 POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE DIRECTORS 

 

	132.	 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by
Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Board, which may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which
would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Board. 



 

	133.	 In addition to any other duties the Directors may owe to the Company or the Members under applicable law, the
Directors shall owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and to the Members as a whole and, in discharging such fiduciary duties, they will act in good faith, in a manner that they believe to be in the best interests of the Company and the Members as a
whole, in a manner consistent with the standards of care required by the courts of Ireland and the state of Delaware, in the United States of America. A Director, by agreeing to serve, or to continue to serve, on the Board, will be deemed to have
agreed to owe the duties to the Company and the Members specified in this Article 133 


  

	134.	 All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for
monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Board shall determine. 


  

	135.	 The Board on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any Director who
has held any other salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to their widow or widower or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

	136.	 The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking,
property and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.



 MINUTES 
  

	137.	 The Board shall cause written minutes (whether in electronic form or otherwise) to be made in books kept for

present at each meeting. 


 DELEGATION OF THE BOARD’S POWERS 

 

	138.	 The Board may delegate any of its powers (with power to sub-delegate)
to any committee consisting of one or more Directors. The Board may also delegate to any Director such of its powers as it considers desirable to be exercised by them. Any such delegation may be made subject to any conditions the Board may impose,
and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of its own powers and may be revoked or altered. Subject to any such conditions, the proceedings of a committee of the Board shall be governed by the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors,
so far as they are capable of applying. 


  

	139.	 The Board may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any person to be the agent of the Company on such
conditions as the Board may determine, provided that the delegation is not to the exclusion of its own powers and may be revoked by the Board at any time. 


  

	140.	 The Board may by power of attorney or otherwise appoint any company, firm, person or body of persons, whether
nominated directly or indirectly by the Board, to be the attorney or authorised signatory of the Company for such purpose and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Board under these
Articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such powers of attorney or other appointment may contain such provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorneys or
authorised signatories as the Board may think fit and may also authorise any such attorney or authorised signatory to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in them. 



EXECUTIVE OFFICERS: DUTIES OF OFFICERS 
  

	141.	 The Board may from time to time appoint one or more Chairperson of the Board, President, Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer and such other officers as it considers necessary in the management of the business of the Company and as it may decide for such period and upon such terms as it thinks fit and upon such terms as to remuneration as
it may decide in accordance with these Articles. Such officers need not also be a Director. 


  

	142.	 Every person appointed to an office under Article 141 shall, without prejudice to any claim for damages that
such person may have against the Company (or the Company may have against such person for any breach of any contract of service between them and the Company) be liable to be dismissed or removed at any time from such executive office by the Board. A
Director appointed to an office under the above Article 141 shall ipso facto and immediately cease to hold such executive office if they shall cease to hold the office of Director for any cause. 



  
 31 














	143.	 The Company agrees to require any person who serves as an officer of the Company to agree that, in addition to
any other duties such officer may owe to the Company or the Members under applicable law, such officer shall owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and to the Members as a whole and, in discharging such fiduciary duties, they will act in good faith, in
a manner that they believe to be in the best interests of the Company and the Members as a whole, in a manner consistent with the standards of care required by the courts of the Ireland and the state of Delaware, in the United States of America.



 PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS 
  

	144.	 Except as otherwise provided by these Articles, the Directors shall meet together for the despatch of business,
convening, adjourning and otherwise regulating their meetings and procedures as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes of the Directors present at a meeting at which there is a quorum. Each Director
shall have one vote. In case of an equality of votes, the Chairperson shall have a second or casting vote. 


  

	145.	 Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times and places as may be provided for in resolutions
adopted by the Board. No additional notice of a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board shall be required. 


  

	146.	 A Director may, and the Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the
Directors by at least two days’ notice in writing to every Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors either at, before or after the meeting is held and
provided further if notice is given in person, by telephone, cable, telex, telecopy or email the same shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is delivered to the Directors or transmitting organisation as the case may be. The accidental
omission to give notice of a meeting of the Directors to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.



  

	147.	 The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Board may be fixed by the Board and unless so
fixed shall be a majority of the Directors in office. In no event shall the Board fix a quorum that is less than one-third (1/3rd) of the total number of Directors or that is less than two Directors.



  

	148.	 The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number
is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to that number, or of summoning a general
meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose. 


  

	149.	 The Directors may elect a Chairperson of their Board and determine the period for which they are to hold
office; but if no such Chairperson is elected, or if at any meeting the Chairperson is not present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be a
Chairperson of the meeting. 


  

	150.	 All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors shall, notwithstanding that it be
afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and qualified to be a Director. 



 

	151.	 Members of the Board or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or of such committee
by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in person at
such meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the Chairperson is at the start of the meeting. 



  
 32 














	152.	 A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts), signed by all the Directors for the time being or all
the Members of a committee of Directors shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors or committee as the case may be duly convened and held. 



VACATION OF OFFICE OF DIRECTOR 
  

	153.	 The office of a Director shall be vacated ipso facto, if the Director: 



 

	 	(1)	 resigns their office by notice in writing to the Company; 



 

	 	(2)	 absents themselves from three consecutive meetings of the Board without special leave of absence from the
Directors, and they pass a resolution that they have by reason of such absence vacated office; 


  

	 	(3)	 is restricted or disqualified to act as a Director under the provisions of the Companies Act;



  

	 	(4)	 dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with their creditors generally (in any
jurisdiction); or 


  

	 	(5)	 is prohibited, restricted or disqualified by any applicable law, or the relevant code, rules and regulations
applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange, from being a Director. 


 APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS 

 

	154.	 The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director and may by Ordinary Resolution, in
accordance with the Companies Act, remove any Director before the expiration of their period of office notwithstanding anything in these Articles or in any agreement between the Company and such Director. Such removal shall be without prejudice to
any claim such Director may have for damages for breach of any contract of service between them and the Company. 


  

	155.	 The Directors shall have power at any time and from time to time to appoint any person to be a Director, either
to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, provided that the total amount of Directors shall not at any time exceed the number fixed in accordance with these Articles and provided further, that any such Director so
appointed shall be approved or removed by a resolution of the Members at the next annual general meeting. 


  

	156.	 Directors shall hold office for such term as the Members may determine by Ordinary Resolution or, in the
absence of such determination, until the next annual general meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their office is otherwise earlier vacated. 



 

					
	157.	  	 (1)   At every annual general meeting of the Company, all of the
Directors shall retire from office unless re-elected by Ordinary Resolution or plurality vote in accordance with Article 116 at the annual general meeting. A Director retiring at a meeting shall retain office
until the close or adjournment of the meeting.

		
		  	 (2)   Every Director shall be eligible to stand for re-election at an annual general meeting.



  
 33 














					
		
		  	 (3)   If a Director offers themselves for re-election, they shall be deemed to have been re-elected, unless at such meeting the Ordinary Resolution or plurality vote in accordance with Article 116 for the re-election
of such Director has been defeated.


 PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT 
  

	158.	 A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be
presumed to have assented to the action taken unless their dissent shall be entered in the Minutes of the meeting or unless they shall file their written dissent from such action with the person acting as the Secretary of the meeting before the
adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action. 



THE SEAL 
  

	159.	 The Company may, if the Board so determines, have a Seal which shall only be used by the authority of the Board
or of a committee of the Board authorized by the Board in that behalf and every instrument to which the Seal has been affixed shall be signed by any person who shall be either a Director or the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or some other person
authorised by the Board, either generally or specifically, for the purpose. 


  

	160.	 The Company may have for use in any place or places outside Ireland, a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which
shall be a duplicate of the Seal of the Company except, in the case of a Seal for use in sealing documents creating or evidencing securities issued by the Company, for the addition on its face of the word “Securities” and if the
Board so determines, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used. 


  

	161.	 A Director, Secretary, Assistant Secretary or other officer or representative or attorney may without further
authority of the Directors affix the Seal of the Company over their signature alone to any document of the Company required to be authenticated by them under Seal or to be filed with the Companies Registration Office in Ireland or elsewhere
wheresoever. 


  

	162.	 The Company may exercise the powers conferred by the Companies Act with regard to having an official seal for
use abroad and such powers exercised by the Board or by a committee of the Board. 


 DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RESERVES 

 

	163.	 The Company in general meeting may declare dividends, but no dividends shall exceed the amount recommended by
the Directors. 


  

	164.	 Subject to the Companies Act, the Board may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends)
and distributions on Shares of the Company outstanding and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. 


  

	165.	 The Board may, before declaring any dividends or distributions, set aside such sums as they think proper as a
reserve or reserves which shall at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the like discretion, be employed in the business of the Company. The Directors may also, without
placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profits which they may think it prudent not to divide. 


  

	166.	 No dividend, interim dividend or distribution shall be paid otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of
the Companies Act. 



  
 34 














	167.	 Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to Shares with special rights as to dividends or
distributions, if dividends or distributions are to be declared on a class of Shares they shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the Shares of such class outstanding on the record date for such dividend or
distribution as determined in accordance with these Articles. 


  

	168.	 The Directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) immediately payable
by them to the Company in relation to the Shares of the Company. 


  

	169.	 The Board or any general meeting declaring a dividend (upon the recommendation of the Board), may direct that
any dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid up Shares, debentures, or debenture stock of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises
in regard to such distribution, the Board may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash
payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board. 



 

	170.	 Any dividend, distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by cheque
or warrant sent through the post, or sent by any electronic or other means of payment, directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person
and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant, electronic or other payment shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a
good discharge to the Company. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders. Any such dividend or other distribution may
also be paid by any other method (including payment in a currency other than US$, electronic funds transfer, direct debit, bank transfer or by means of a relevant system) which the Directors consider appropriate and any Member who elects for such
method of payment shall be deemed to have accepted all of the risks inherent therein. The debiting of the Company’s account in respect of the relevant amount shall be evidence of good discharge of the Company’s obligations in respect of
any payment made by any such methods. 


  

	171.	 No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company. 



 

	172.	 If the Directors so resolve, any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date of its
declaration shall be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a Share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in
respect thereof. 


 CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS 
  

	173.	 Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Board and subject to the Board’s authority to issue and
allot Shares under Articles 9 and 10, the Board may, from time to time, resolve that all or any part of any sum standing to the credit of: 


  

	 	(a)	 any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including any reserve account available for distribution); and/or



  

	 	(b)	 the profit and loss account, 



  
 35 













 be capitalised and applied on behalf of those Members who would have been entitled to
receive that sum if it had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions) either: 
  

	 	(i)	 in or towards paying up amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively; and/or



  

	 	(ii)	 in paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company, 



of a nominal amount equal to the sum capitalised (such shares or debentures to be allotted and distributed and credited as fully paid up to and
amongst such Members in the proportions aforesaid) or partly in one way and partly in another. In such event the Board shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Board to make such provisions
as they think fit for the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Board may authorise any person to
enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned. 

 

	174.	 Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Board and subject to the Board’s authority to issue and
allot Shares under Articles 9 and 10, the Board may, from time to time, resolve that all or any part of any sum standing to the credit of: 


  

	 	(a)	 any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including any capital redemption reserve fund, share premium
account, any undenominated capital, any sum representing unrealised revaluation reserves, merger reserve, or other reserve account not available for distribution) and/or 



 

	 	(b)	 the profit and loss account which is not available for distribution, 



be capitalised by applying such sum in paying up in full unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares to those Members who would
have been entitled to that sum if it were distributable and had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions). Whenever such a resolution is passed in pursuance of this Article, the Board shall make all appropriations and
applications of the amounts resolved to be capitalised thereby and all allotments and issues of fully paid shares or debentures (if any). In such event the Board shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full
power to the Board to make such provisions as they think fit for the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).
The Board may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective
and binding on all concerned. 
 BOOKS OF ACCOUNT: RIGHTS OF INSPECTION 
  

	175.	 The Directors shall cause the Company to keep adequate accounting records, which are sufficient to:



  

	 	(1)	 correctly record and explain the transactions of the Company; 



 

	 	(2)	 enable at any time the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company to be
determined with reasonable accuracy; 



  
 36 














	 	(3)	 enable the Directors to ensure that any financial statements of the Company and any directors’ report,
required to be prepared under the Companies Act, comply with the requirements of the Companies Act and, where applicable, Article 4 of the IAS Regulation; and 



 

	 	(4)	 enable those financial statements of the Company to be audited. 



 

	176.	 Accounting records shall be kept on a continuous and consistent basis and entries therein shall be made in a
timely manner and be consistent from year to year in accordance with the Companies Act. The Company may send a summary financial statement to its Members or persons nominated by any Member and the Company may meet, but shall be under no obligation
to meet, any request from any of its Members to be sent additional copies the documents required to be sent to Members by the Companies Act or any summary financial statement or other communications with its Members. 



 

	177.	 The accounting records shall be kept at the registered office of the Company or, subject to the provisions of
the Companies Act, at such other place as the Directors think fit and shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Directors. 


  

	178.	 Accounting records shall not be deemed to be kept, if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary
to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions. 


  

	179.	 In accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, the Board may from time to time cause to be prepared
and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law. 



 

			
	180.	  	 (1)   The Company may send by post, electronic mail or any other means of
electronic communication:

		
		  	 (a)   the Company’s statutory financial statements,

		
		  	 (b)   the directors’ report, and

		
		  	 (c)   the Auditors’ report

		
		  	 and copies of those documents shall also be treated for the purposes of the Companies Act, as sent to a person
where:

		
		  	 (i) the Company and that person have agreed to their having access to the documents on a
website (instead of being sent to them);

		
		  	 (ii)  the documents are documents to which that agreement applies; and

		
		  	 (iii)  that person is notified, in a manner for the time being agreed for the purpose
between that person and the Company, of:

		
		  	 (A)  the publication of the documents on a website;

		
		  	 (B)  the address of that website; and

		
		  	 (C)  the place on that website where the documents may be accessed and how they may
be accessed.

		
		  	 (2)   The documents listed at Articles 180(1)(a) to (1)(c) shall be treated as
sent to a person not less than 21 days before the date of a meeting if, and only if:



  
 37 














	 	(a)	 the documents are published on the website throughout a period beginning at least 21 days before the date of
the meeting and ending with the conclusion of the meeting; and 


  

	 	(b)	 the notification given for the purposes of paragraph (1)(c) is given not less than 21 days before the date of
the meeting. 


  

	 	(3)	 Nothing shall invalidate the proceedings of a meeting where: 



 

	 	(a)	 any documents that are required to be published are published for a part, but not all, of the 21-day period mentioned above; and 


  

	 	(b)	 the failure to publish those documents throughout that period is wholly attributable to circumstances which it
would not be reasonable to have expected the company to prevent or avoid. 


  

	 	(4)	 Where copies of documents are sent out pursuant to this Article 180 over a period of days, references elsewhere
in the Companies Act to the day on which those copies are sent out shall be read as references to the last day of that period. 


 AUDIT

  

	181.	 Auditors shall be appointed and their duties regulated in accordance with the Companies Act, the relevant code,
rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange. 


  

	182.	 Subject always to the provisions of the Companies Act, in the event that no such code, rules and regulations
referred to in the above Article 181 apply, the appointment of and provisions relating to Auditors shall be in accordance with the following provisions: 


  

	 	(1)	 The Board may appoint the Auditor of the Company, who shall hold office until removed from office by the
Company, and the Board may fix their remuneration. 


  

	 	(2)	 The Board may appoint an Auditor who shall hold office until removed from office by a resolution of the
Directors, and may fix their remuneration. 


  

	 	(3)	 Every Auditor shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company
and shall be entitled to require from the Board and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor. 



 

	 	(4)	 Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their
tenure of office at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members. 



NOTICES 
  

	183.	 Notices shall be in writing (whether in electronic form or otherwise) and shall be given by the Company in
accordance with applicable law, the relevant code, rules and regulations applicable to the listing of the Shares on the Exchange and these Articles. 


  

	184.	 Except to the extent inconsistent with such company law, code, rules and regulations referred to in the above
Article 183, notice shall be given in accordance with the following provisions: 


  

	 	(1)	 notices to any Member shall be given either personally or by sending it by post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to them or to their address as shown in the Register of Members 



  
 38 














	 	
(where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member subject to each
Members’ individual consent to electronic communications being sent to them by the Company), or by publication of an electronic record of it on a website and notification of such publication by post, cable, telex, fax or email as permitted by
these Articles; 

  

	 	(2)	 where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth (5th) day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice
was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a
notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the
intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient. Where a notice
was published as an electronic record on a website, at the time that the notification of such publication shall be deemed to have been delivered to such Member, and in proving such service or delivery, it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice
or document was properly published on a website in accordance with and provisions of these Articles. 


  

	 	(3)	 for the purposes of these Articles and the Companies Act, any document or notice shall be deemed to have been
sent to a Member if a notice is given, served, sent or delivered to the Member and the notice specifies the website or hotlink or other electronic link at or through which the Member may obtain a copy of the relevant document or notice.



  

	 	(4)	 a notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled
to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under these Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the
deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been
given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred. 


  

	 	(5)	 Any requirement in these Articles for the consent of a Member in regard to the receipt of such Member of
electronic mail or other means of electronic communications approved by the Board, including the receipt of the Company’s audited accounts and the Directors’ and Auditor’s reports thereon shall be deemed to have been satisfied where
the Company has written to the Member informing them of its intention to use electronic communication for such purposes and the Member has not within four weeks of the issue of such notice, served an objection in writing on the Company to such
proposal. Where a Member has given, or is deemed to have given, their consent to the receipt of such Member of electronic mail or other means of electronic communications approved by the Board, they may revoke such consent at any time by requesting
the Company to communicate with them in documented form; provided however, that such revocation shall not take effect until five days after written notice of the revocation is received by the Company. 



WINDING UP 
  

	185.	 If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to any sanction required by applicable law, divide
amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the 



  
 39 














	 	
Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or
different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that
no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability. 

  

	186.	 If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be
insufficient to repay the whole of the Share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the nominal value of the Shares held by them. If in a winding up the
assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the nominal
value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up. This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions. 



 

			
	187.	  	 (1)   In case of a sale by the liquidator section 601 of the Companies Act, the
liquidator may by the contract of sale agree so as to bind all the Members for the allotment to the Members directly of the proceeds of sale in proportion to their respective interests in the Company and may further by the contract limit a time at
the expiration of which obligations or Shares not accepted or required to be sold shall be deemed to have been irrevocably refused and be at the disposal of the Company, but so that nothing herein contained shall be taken to diminish, prejudice or
affect the rights of dissenting Members conferred by the said section.
  

(2)   The power of sale of the liquidator shall include a power to sell wholly or partially for
debentures, debenture stock, or other obligations of another company, either then already constituted or about to be constituted for the purpose of carrying out the sale.


 UNTRACED SHAREHOLDERS 
  

	188.	 The Company shall be entitled to sell at the best price reasonably obtainable any Share or stock of a Member or
any Share or stock to which a person is entitled by transmission if and provided that: 


  

	 	(1)	 for a period of twelve years (not less than three dividends having been declared and paid) no cheque or warrant
sent by the Company through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to the Member or to the person entitled by transmission to the Share or stock at their address on the Register or other last known address entitled by transmission to which cheques
and warrants are to be sent has been cashed and no communication has been received by the Company from the Member or the person entitled by transmission; and 


  


	 	(2)	 on or after expiry of that period of twelve years the Company has given notice by advertisement in a leading
Dublin newspaper and a newspaper circulating in the area in which the address referred to in paragraph (1) above is located of its intention to sell such Share or stock; and 



 

	 	(3)	 the Company has not during the further period of three months after the date of the advertisement and prior to
the exercise of the power of sale received any communication from the Member or person entitled by transmission; and 


  

	 	(4)	 if so required by the roles of any securities exchange upon which the Shares in question are listed for the
time being, notice has been given to that exchange of the Company’s intention to make such sale. 



  
 40 














	189.	 To give effect to any such sale the Company may appoint any person to execute as transferor an instrument of
transfer of such Share or stock and such instrument of transfer shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered holder of or person entitled by transmission to such Share or stock. The Company shall account to the Member or other
person entitled to such Share or stock for the net proceeds of such sale by carrying all monies in respect thereof to a separate account which shall be a permanent debt of the Company and the Company shall be deemed to be a debtor and not a trustee
in respect thereof for such Member or other person. Monies carried to such separate account may either be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments (other than Shares of the Company or its holding company if any) as the
Directors may from time to time think fit. 


  

	190.	 To the extent necessary in order to comply with any laws or regulations to which the Company is subject in
relation to escheatment, abandonment of property or other similar or analogous laws or regulations (“Applicable Escheatment Laws”), the Company may deal with any Share of any Member and any unclaimed cash
payments relating to such Share in any manner which it sees fit, including (but not limited to) transferring or selling such Share and transferring to third parties any unclaimed cash payments relating to such Share. 



 

	191.	 The Company may only exercise the powers granted to it in Article 188 in circumstances where it has complied
with, or procured compliance with, the required procedures (as set out in the Applicable Escheatment Laws) with respect to attempting to identify and locate the relevant Member of the Company. 



 

	192.	 Any stock transfer form to be executed by the Company in order to sell or transfer a Share pursuant to Article
188 may be executed in accordance with Article 28(1). 


 INDEMNITY 

 

	193.	 Subject to the provisions of and so far as may be admitted by the Companies Act, every Director and the
Secretary of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by them in the execution and discharge of their duties or in relation thereto including any liability
incurred by them in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by them as a Director, Secretary or employee of the Company and in which judgement is given in their
favour (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on their part) or in which they are acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in
respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to them by the Court. 


  

	194.	 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify any current or former officer of the
Company, or any person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company as an officer and any trustee acting in relation to any of the affairs of the Company and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal
representatives (other than any Director and the Secretary of the Company) (each individually, a “Covered Person”), against any expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a proceeding by, or in the name or on behalf of, the
Company), to which they were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party or in which they are otherwise involved, (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that they are or were a Covered Person; provided, however, that this provision
shall not indemnify any Covered Person against any liability arising out of (a) any fraud or dishonesty in the performance of such Covered Person’s duty to the Company, or (b) such Covered Person’s conscious, intentional or
wilful breach of their obligation to act honestly, lawfully and in good faith with a view to the best 



  
 41 














	 	
interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Companies Act or to any person holding the
office of auditor in relation to the Company. 

  

	195.	 In the case of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding by, or in the name or on behalf of, the Company,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Covered Person against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, but excluding judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with the defence or settlement thereof, except that no indemnification for expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Covered Person shall have been finally adjudged to be liable for fraud or
dishonesty in the performance of their duty to the Company, or for conscious, intentional or wilful breach of their obligation to act honestly, lawfully and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, unless and only to the
extent that the Court or the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Covered Person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall not extend to any matter that would render it void pursuant to the Companies Act or to any person holding the office
of auditor in relation to the Company. 


  

	196.	 To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a Covered Person
in defending any proceeding for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Articles 194 and 195 shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt by the Board of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to these Articles. 



 

	197.	 Any indemnification under Articles 194 to and including 196 (unless ordered by a court of competent
jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Article 194 or Article 195, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a Covered Person who is a Director or officer of the Company at the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the Directors
who are not parties to such proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (b) by a committee of such Directors designated by a majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum; (c) if there are no such Directors, or if such
Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) by the Members by Ordinary Resolution. Such determination shall be made, with respect to any other Covered Person, by any person or persons having the authority to
act on the matter on behalf of the Company. To the extent, however, that any Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defence of any proceeding, or in defence of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Covered Person shall
be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 194 to
and including 196, the Company shall be required to indemnify or advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection a proceeding commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding by such person was authorized by the Board.



  

	198.	 It being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Articles 194 and 196 shall
be made to the fullest extent permitted by law, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for by Articles 194 to and including Article 196 shall not be deemed exclusive (a) of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under these Articles, any agreement, any insurance purchased by the Company, vote of Members or disinterested Directors, or pursuant to the




  
 42 














	 	
direction (however embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, or
(b) of the power of the Company to indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Company or of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which they are serving or have served at the request of the Company,
to the same extent and in the same situations and subject to the same determinations as are hereinabove set forth with respect to a Covered Person. 

  

	199.	 The Board may, notwithstanding any interest of the Covered Persons in such action, authorize the Company to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Covered Person, against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in any such capacity, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to
indemnify them against such liability under the provisions of these Articles. As used in Articles 193 to and including this Article 199, references to the “Company” include all constituent corporations in an amalgamation,
consolidation or merger or similar arrangement in which the Company or a predecessor to the Company by amalgamation, consolidation or merger or similar arrangement was involved. 



FINANCIAL YEAR 
  

	200.	 The financial year of the Company shall be as prescribed by the Board from time to time. 



SALE, LEASE OR EXCHANGE OF ASSETS 
  

			
	201.	  	 (1)   The Board may authorise and direct the Company to sell, lease or exchange
all or substantially all of its property and assets, including the Company’s goodwill and its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration, which may consist in whole or in part of money or other property,
including Shares of stock in, and/or other securities of, any other corporation or corporations, as the Board in its discretion thinks fit, provided that the Members shall have approved such sale, lease or exchange by Ordinary Resolution, in
addition to any other resolution or sanction required by applicable law. 
  

(2)   Notwithstanding such resolution or consent to a proposed sale, lease or exchange of the
Company’s property and assets by the Members, the Board may abandon such proposed sale, lease or exchange without further action by the Members, subject to the rights, if any, of third parties under any contract relating thereto.

 
 (3)   For purposes of this
Article 201, the property and assets of the Company include the property and assets of any subsidiary of the Company and “subsidiary” means any entity wholly-owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company and includes,
without limitation, corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, and/or statutory trusts.
  

(4)   Notwithstanding subsection (l) of this Article 201 no resolution by the Members shall be
required for a sale, lease or exchange of property and assets of the Company to a subsidiary.


 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION: CHOICE OF LAW 
  

	202.	 For as long as Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the
Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Delaware, in the United States of America and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court
for the District of Delaware in the United States of America and the appellate courts having jurisdiction thereover (each, a “Delaware-Based Court”), for the purposes of any action, suit or




  
 43 














	 	
proceeding brought by or on behalf of any Member or Beneficial Owner with respect to their rights as a Member or Beneficial Owner, or in relation to claims brought derivatively by a Member or
Beneficial Owner in the name, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company waives any right to challenge personal jurisdiction when sued in these courts. The Company further agrees that if sued in these jurisdictions, it will agree to the application
of that court’s rules of procedure and will not argue, under choice of law principles, that procedural rights granted by the laws of Ireland should be applied in these fora. 


 

	203.	 For as long as Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the
Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall appoint and maintain an authorised agent in the state of Delaware, in the United States of America, to receive for and on its behalf service of any and all legal
process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action, suit or proceeding brought against the Company in the state of Delaware. 


  

	204.	 For as long as Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the
Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall: 


  

	 	(1)	 maintain unencumbered assets in the United States of America, which assets may include equity or debt
investments in U.S. companies, with a book value in excess of fifty million U.S. dollars (US$50,000,000), and will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an opinion of an attorney licensed in the United
States of America that judgments rendered against the Company may be satisfied by using these assets; 


  

	 	(2)	 post a bond or similar security with a Delaware-Based Court in an amount of at least fifty million U.S. dollars
(US$50,000,000); or 


  

	 	(3)	 purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its Directors and officers of the Company, against any liability
asserted against them and incurred by them in any such capacity, in an amount of at least fifty million U.S. dollars (US$50,000,000), 



and in the event that any action, suit or proceeding of the type described in Article 202 is brought against the Company in any Delaware-Based
Court, the Company will provide a notice to such court specifying with which of the three foregoing provisions of this Article 204 the Company has complied. 
  

	205.	 For as long as Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the
Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, in relation to any action, suit or proceeding against the Company brought derivatively by a Member or Beneficial Owner in the name, or on behalf of, the Company in any
Delaware-Based Court, the Company hereby agrees that the law of the forum in which such action, suit or proceeding is brought, not the law of Ireland, will govern the sufficiency of the pleadings and such Member’s or Beneficial Owner’s
standing to bring such action, suit or proceedings.
