Annual General Meeting into four ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company, having the same rights, being subject
to the same restrictions and ranking on the same basis as the existing ordinary shares of 40 pence each in the capital of the Company
(save as to nominal value), and thirty six deferred shares of 1 pence each, having the rights and being subject to the restrictions
set out in the resolution below. The Board of Directors also proposes, as a Special Resolution, to amend the Articles of Association
of the Company by:
7.1
Inserting the following definition into Article 2:
"
Deferred Share
means
the deferred shares of £0.01 nominal value each in the capital of the Company with the rights as per Article 67.4" to
be inserted after the definition of "Company"; and
7.2
Inserting a new Article 67.4 as follows:
67.4
Each Deferred Share in issue shall confer upon the holder such rights, and be subject to the restrictions, as follows:
67.4.1
Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, a Deferred Share:
(a)      does not entitle
its holder to receive any dividend or distribution declared, made or paid or any return of capital and does not entitle its holder
to any further or other right of participation in the assets of the Company; and
(b)      entitles its
holder to participate on a return of assets on a winding up of the Company, such entitlement to be limited to the repayment of
the amount paid up or credited as paid up on such Deferred Share but only if the holders of each Ordinary Share then in issue shall
have received a distribution of at least £1,000,000 per Ordinary Share held; and
(c)      does not entitle
its holder to receive a share certificate in respect of his or her shareholding, save as required by law; and
(d)      does not entitle
its holder to receive notice of, nor attend, speak or vote at, any general meeting of the Company; and
(e)      shall not be
transferable at any time other than with the prior written consent of the Directors,
The Company's shareholders of record
