subscription shall not exceed a number equal to 1 % (one per cent) of the number of Ordinary Shares in the Company in issue on the day preceding the day on which the Board shall have allocated profits in respect of any Year for Shares under
this Scheme. 


  

	 	(c)	 The number of Shares which may be allocated or appropriated by way of subscription under this Scheme in any
period of three successive calendar years shall not, when added to the number of Shares which shall have been allocated or appropriated by way of subscription under any employee share scheme (other than pursuant to options to subscribe granted prior

of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company and the ordinary share capital of the Company to be issued on the conversion of the convertible cumulative preference share capital of the Company. 



 

	 	(d)	 The limits specified in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Rule and (if appropriate) the Market Price

reduction of share capital.

Shares by the Trustees in excess of an amount equal to 5% (five per cent) of that part of its profits in respect of that Year before taxation and excluding exceptional items which, in the opinion of the Board, is attributable to the operations of
the Group whose employees are eligible to participate in this Scheme. In addition, whenever the amount appropriated by the Company for the purposes of this Scheme would result in the number of Shares to be subscribed exceeding the limit specified in

	 	(i)	 shall not dispose of any Shares during the Retention Period (whether by transfer to a Participant or
otherwise); 


  

	 	(ii)	 shall not dispose of any Shares after the end of the Retention Period except pursuant to a direction given by
or on behalf of the Participant or any person in whom the beneficial interest in his Shares is for the time being vested, and shall not dispose of any Shares by any transaction which would involve a breach of a Participant’s obligations under
paragraphs (b)(iii) and (iv) below; 


  

	 	(iii)	 shall at all times deal with any right conferred in respect of any of a Participant’s Shares to be
allotted other shares securities or rights of any description only pursuant to a direction given by or on behalf of the Participant or any person in whom the beneficial interest in his Shares is for the time being vested;

	 	(a)	 may direct the Trustees to accept an offer for any of the Shares appropriated to him (hereinafter referred to

 16 














	 	(b)	 may direct the Trustees to agree to a transaction affecting the Shares appropriated to him or such of them as
are of a particular class if the transaction would be entered into pursuant to a compromise arrangement or scheme applicable to or affecting:- 


  

	 	(i)	 all the ordinary share capital of the Company or as the case may be all the shares of the class in question, or



  

	 	(ii)	 all the shares or shares of the class in question which are held by a class of shareholder identified otherwise
than by reference to their participation in this Scheme; and 


  

	 	(c)	 may direct the Trustees to accept an offer of cash, with or without other assets, for the shares appropriated
to him if the offer forms part of a general offer which is made to holders of shares of the same class as himself or of shares in the Company and which is made in the first instance on a condition such that if it is satisfied the person making the
offer will have control of the Company within the meaning of Section 11 of the Act; and 


  

	 	(d)	 may agree after the expiry of the Retention Period to sell the beneficial interest in the Shares appropriated

Subject to any such direction as is referred to in Section 513(3) of the Act, the Trustees shall pay or transfer to a Participant any

by the Company provided always that the Trustees shall at all times comply with the provisions of paragraph 17(a) of Schedule 11 to the Act. 


  

	 	(b)	 In relation to any voting rights attaching to a Share appropriated to a Participant the Trustees shall deal

Where there occurs in relation to any of the Shares appropriated to a Participant a company reconstruction (as defined in Section 514 of
the Act) which results in a new holding, as defined in section 584(1) of the Act, being for the purposes of the said Section 514 equated with the original holding for the purposes of Capital Gains Tax then such new holding shall be deemed to
have been appropriated to the Participant on the date of appropriation of the original holding and shall be held by the Trustees on the same terms. 
  

	11.	 Rights of Employees 



Participation in this Scheme by a Participant is a matter entirely separate from any pension right or entitlement he may have and from his
terms or conditions of employment and participation in this Scheme shall in no respects whatever affect in any way a Participant’s pension rights or entitlements or terms or conditions or employment and in particular (but without limiting the
generality of the foregoing words) any Participant who leaves the employment of the Company or a Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any compensation for any loss of any right or benefit or prospective right or benefit under this Scheme which he
might otherwise have enjoyed whether such compensation is claimed by way of damages for wrongful dismissal or other breach of contract or by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise howsoever. 

 

	12.	 Duty to Account for PAYE etc. 



 

	 	(a)	 When the Trustees receive from a Participant who has directed them to transfer the ownership of his Shares to

	 	(b)	 The Trustees shall maintain records of all sums received from Participants under paragraph (a) above.



  

	 	(c)	 The Trustees shall inform each Participant in writing of any facts which are relevant to determining the

	13.	 Administration

Employees fairly and reasonably being included in the Scheme for the relevant Year the Company and/or relevant Subsidiary shall make available to the Trustees such sum or sums as the Trustees need to acquire Shares for such Eligible Employees as
aforementioned provided always that such Eligible Employees shall be treated within the terms of this Scheme as if they had received an appropriation of Shares on the Appropriation Date. Under no circumstances shall the Trustees hold any Shares for
more than 18 months without appropriating them to a Participant; 



  
 18 














	 	(b)	 Any notification or other notice in writing to be given to any Participant in pursuance to this Scheme shall be
sufficiently given if sent through the post in a prepaid cover addressed to the Participant at his address last known to the sender including any address supplied by the Company or a Subsidiary as being his address. Any certificate notification or
other notice in writing required to be given to the Company’s Subsidiary or the Trustees shall be properly given if sent to or delivered to the Company the Subsidiary concerned or the first named trustee at their respective registered or
principal officer or in the case of a Trustee his last known address; 


  

	 	(c)	 The Company shall keep available a sufficient number of unissued ordinary Shares of the Company to enable
Shares to be issued up to the limit laid down in Rule 4(a) above as adjusted in accordance with Rule 4(c) above; 


  

	 	(d)	 If an Eligible Employee completes the required form of contract for participation in this Scheme in respect of
a particular Year but dies before Shares have been appropriated to him thereunder, the Company may at its discretion determine that (without prejudice to the rights attaching to Shares appropriated for earlier Years) no further Shares be
appropriated to the estate of such employee but that his full entitlement be paid in salary. 


  

	14.	 Modifications and Alterations to Scheme 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to obtaining the approval of the Revenue Commissioners pursuant to paragraph 5(2) of the Schedule 11 to
the Act the Board may from time to time make alterations to the Trust Deed and these Rules including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) such alterations as may be necessary to establish other cash profit sharing schemes and to
permit participants in such other schemes to participate in this Scheme on such terms as the Board thinks fit provided always that no alteration to the Rules 4, 5 or 14(a) shall be effective without the prior sanction of an ordinary Resolution of
the Company in General Meeting and provided further that the Board shall not make any alteration which would prejudice approval of this Scheme by the Revenue Commissioners or a Participant’s rights over Shares already appropriated to him;



  

	 	(b)	 The Board may at any time suspend or terminate operation of this Scheme and the Scheme shall, unless extended
by ordinary Resolution of the Company in General Meeting, terminate following the appropriation of Shares in respect of the Year ending in 2014. 


  

	15.	 Miscellaneous 



If any matter arises on or in connection with this Scheme or its operation for which specific provision is not made in these Rules such matter
shall be resolved dealt with or provided for in such manner as the Board shall in its absolute discretion consider appropriate after taking into account the respective interests of the Company and of the Participants and the requirements of the
Revenue Commissioners.
