notice specifying the time or times and the place of payment must pay, in

accordance with that notice, the amount called to be paid in respect of any Shares

that shareholder holds.

(c) The Board may revoke or postpone a call at any time prior to the date on which

payment of that call is due, or require a call to be paid by instalments.

2.5 Amounts payable under terms of issue treated as calls

Any amount that becomes payable on issue or at any specified date under this

constitution or under the terms of issue of Shares or under a contract for the issue

of Shares, will be regarded as being a call duly made and payable on the specified

date. If the payment is not made, the relevant provisions of this constitution will

apply as if the amount had become payable by virtue of a call made in accordance

with this constitution.

On the issue of Shares, the Board may differentiate between shareholders as to the

amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

2.7 Board may accept payment in advance for calls

(a) Where a shareholder is willing to advance some or all of the money unpaid and

uncalled on any Share of that shareholder, the Board may accept the amount

advanced on the Company’s behalf. The Board may pay interest on that amount at

a rate agreed between the Board and that shareholder for the period between the

date that the amount is accepted and the date that the amount becomes payable

pursuant to a call or the date specified for its payment.

(b) The Board may at any time repay to any shareholder the whole or any portion of

any money so advanced upon giving that holder notice in writing and as from the

date of such repayment interest (if any) shall cease to accrue on the money so

repaid.

3.2 Notice of forfeiture must satisfy certain requirements

The notice served on a shareholder under clause 3.1 must specify a date not earlier

than 10 working days after the date the notice is served by which the payment is to

be made. The notice must also state that in the event of non-payment by the

appointed time, the Shares to which the call or other amount relates will be liable to

be forfeited by the shareholder.

3.3 Failure to comply with notice may lead to forfeiture

Where a valid notice under clause 3.1 is served on a shareholder and the

shareholder fails to comply with the notice, then the Board may resolve that any

Share for which that notice was given and all distributions authorised and not paid

before the notice was served be forfeited.

forfeiture at any time before the sale or other disposition on such terms as the

Board thinks fit if the call or other amount which remains unpaid on the Share is

paid.

3.5 Shareholder whose Shares are forfeited loses rights

A person whose Shares have been forfeited immediately ceases to be a shareholder

in respect of those Shares notwithstanding any other provision of this constitution,

and remains liable to pay the unpaid amount that the shareholder owes the

Company, but that liability shall cease if the Company receives payment in full of all

money owing for those Shares.

3.6 Evidence of forfeiture

A certificate signed by a Director that a Share has been duly forfeited on a stated

date is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in that certificate.

3.7 Company may sell forfeited Share

The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a forfeited Share

following a sale or disposition, and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of

the person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of, and register that person as the

holder of the Share. That person is not bound to see to the application of the

purchase money, if any, nor is the title to the Share affected by any irregularity or

invalidity in the procedures under this constitution in respect of the forfeiture, sale

or disposal of that Share. Any residue after satisfaction of unpaid calls, instalments,

premiums or other amounts and interest, and expenses, shall be paid to the

previous holder, or to his or her executors, administrators or assigns.

regulation, ordinance or other legislation in respect of the Shares of that

shareholder, whether the period for payment has arrived or not.

The Company may sell a Share on which it has a lien in such manner as the Board

thinks fit, where:

(a) the lien on the Share is for a sum which is presently payable; and

death or bankruptcy, has failed to pay that sum after the Company has

served that registered holder written notice demanding payment of that sum.

4.4 Company may transfer Share and apply proceeds

(a) The Company may receive the consideration given for a Share sold under clause 4.3,

and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share

is sold, and register that person as the holder of the Share discharged from all calls

due prior to the purchase.

(b) The purchaser is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money, and the

purchaser’s title to the Share is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the

proceedings relating to the sale. The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale

payable on the lien, and the balance, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not

presently payable that existed upon the Share before the sale) be paid to the person

who held the Share immediately before the date of sale or to his or her executors,

administrators or assigns.

resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded on the issue for which the

poll was taken.

demand, or join in demanding a poll, and a demand by a person as proxy for a

shareholder has the same effect as a demand by the shareholder.

A shareholder may give written notice to the Board of a matter the shareholder

proposes to raise for discussion or resolution at the next meeting of shareholders at

which the shareholder is entitled to vote. The provisions of clause 9 of the first

(a) A notice appointing a proxy shall be in such form as required by the Listing Rules

and otherwise as the Board may direct.

resolutions, enabling the shareholder to instruct the proxy as to the casting of the

vote, must not be sent with any name or office (e.g. “chairman of directors”) filled in

as proxy holder, and must contain a statement outlining who is subject to voting

restrictions.

(c) Proxy forms may in accordance with the Listing Rules provide that, if the

shareholder does not name a proxy in the form or if the named proxy does not

attend the meeting, a named person or office will act as the shareholders’ proxy and

vote in accordance with the shareholder’s express direction.
