of such an offer or agreement as if the power conferred by this resolution had not expired.
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following resolutions as special resolutions:
6. That the Directors be and are hereby empowered, pursuant to Sections 1022 and 1023(3) of
the Companies Act 2014, to allot equity securities (within the meaning of the said Section

a period fixed by the Directors, by way of rights issue, open offer or otherwise in
favour of the holders of equity securities and/or any persons having or who may

securities held by them, and subject thereto, the allotment by way of placing or
otherwise of any equity securities not taken up in such issue or offer to such persons
as the Directors may determine; and, generally, subject to such exclusions or other
arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to legal

arising in respect of any oversees Shareholders) under the laws of, or the
requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in, any territory; and
b. the allotment of equity securities (otherwise than pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)

or overseas market purchases (as defined by Section 1072 of that Act) of Ordinary Shares of
€0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on such terms and conditions
and in such manner as the Directors may determine from time to time; but subject however
to the provisions of that Act and to the following restrictions and provisions and, subject to
and with effect from the JSE Step-up becoming effective, the JSE Listings Requirements
(provided the restrictions and provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements will not apply to the
initial tranche of the Share Repurchase Programme, up to a maximum aggregate
consideration of €25 million) (the "JSE Step-up", "JSE Listings Requirements" and "Share
Repurchase Programme" each as defined in the document of which this Notice forms part)
and:
a. the maximum number of Ordinary Shares authorised to be acquired shall not exceed
14.99 per cent. of the ordinary share capital in issue in the Company as at close of
business on the date on which this resolution is passed (it being noted that for
purposes of the JSE Listings Requirements (if applicable) that this amount can never
exceed 20 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company, excluding
treasury shares, in any one financial year);
b. the minimum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for any Ordinary Share
shall be an amount equal to the nominal value thereof;
c. the maximum price (excluding expenses) which may be paid for any Ordinary Share
(a "Relevant Share") shall be the higher of:
i. 5 per cent. above the average market price of an Ordinary Share as
determined in accordance with this sub-paragraph (c); and
ii. the amount stipulated by Article 5(6) of Regulation No. 596/2014 of the
European Parliament and Council (or by any corresponding provision of
legislation replacing that regulation);
provided that, for purposes of the JSE Listings Requirements (if applicable), the above
amounts cannot be greater than an amount that is 10% above the weighted average
market value of the Ordinary Shares for the five business days prior to the day the
purchase is made and therefore should the higher of the amounts in sub-paragraph
(a) or (b), exceed same, they will be reduced to comply with the JSE Listings
Requirements. Where the average market value of an Ordinary Share for the purpose
of sub-paragraph (i) shall be the amount equal to the average of the five amounts
resulting from determining whichever of the following ((A), (B) or (C) specified below)
in respect of Ordinary Shares shall be appropriate for each of the five business days
immediately preceding the day on which the Relevant Share is purchased as
determined from the information published by the trading venue where the purchase
will be carried out reporting the business done on each of those five days:
(A) if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day, the average of
the prices at which such dealings took place; or
(B) if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the price at which
such dealing took place; or
(C) if there shall not be any dealing reported for the day, the average of the
closing bid and offer prices for the day,
and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) price or an offer (but not a bid) price
reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer price reported, for any particular day,
that day shall not be treated as a business day for the purposes of this sub-paragraph
(c); provided that, if for any reason it shall be impossible or impracticable to
determine an appropriate amount for any of those five days on the above basis, the
Directors may, if they think fit and having taken into account the prices at which
recent dealings in such shares have taken place, determine an amount for such day
and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be appropriate for that day for the
purposes of calculating the maximum price; and if the means of providing the
foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the maximum
price is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then the
maximum price shall be determined on the basis of the equivalent information
published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on Euronext Dublin,
(subject to and with effect from the JSE Step-up becoming effective), the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange or its equivalent; and
d. subject to and with effect from the JSE Step-up becoming effective, for the purposes
of complying with the JSE Listings Requirements, the following additional restrictions
shall apply to market purchases of Ordinary Shares:

authorised by the Constitution of the Company and must comply with the
Companies Act 2014 of Ireland;
(ii) the purchase of Ordinary Shares in terms of this Resolution shall be effected
through the order book operated by the relevant exchange and done without any
prior understanding or arrangement between the Company and the counter
party (reported trades are prohibited);
(iii) the Company may only appoint one agent to make any repurchases;
(iv) neither the Company or any subsidiary of the Company will effect market
purchases of Ordinary Shares during a prohibited period, as defined in the JSE
Listings Requirements, unless they have in place a repurchase programme which
complies with the JSE Listings Requirements and which has been submitted to
the JSE prior to the commencement of the prohibited period; and
(v) an announcement must be published when the Company and its subsidiaries
have cumulatively purchased 3% of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue at the
time of granting this authority, and for each 3% in aggregate of the initial number
of that acquired thereafter;
e. the authority conferred by this resolution shall expire on close of business on the date
of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the date of passing this
resolution or the date which is 15 calendar months after the date of passing of this
resolution (whichever is earlier), unless previously varied, revoked or renewed in
accordance with the provisions of Section 1074 of the Companies Act 2014. The
Company or any subsidiary may, before such expiry, enter into a contract for the
purchase of Ordinary Shares which would or might be executed wholly or partly after
such expiry and may complete any such contract as if the authority conferred hereby
had not expired.
9. THAT:
a. subject to the passing of Resolution 8 above, for the purposes of section 1078 of the
Companies Act, the re-allotment price range at which any treasury shares (as defined
by the said Companies Act) for the time being held by the Company may be re-allotted
off-market as Ordinary Shares of €0.01 each of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") shall
be as follows:
i. the maximum price at which a treasury share may be re-allotted off-market

average of the five amounts resulting from determining whichever of the following
((i), (ii) or (iii) specified below) in respect of Ordinary Shares shall be appropriate for
each of the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such treasury
share is re-allotted, as determined from information published in the Euronext Dublin
Daily Official List (or any successor publication thereto or any equivalent publication
for securities admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth Market) reporting the
business done on each of those five business days:
i. if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day, the average of
the prices at which such dealings took place; or
ii. if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the price at which such
dealing took place; or
iii. if there shall not be any dealing reported for the day, the average of the
closing bid and offer prices for the day:
and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) price or an offer (but not a bid) price
reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer price reported, for any particular day,
then that day shall not be treated as a business day for the purposes of this sub-
paragraph (b); provided that if for any reason it shall be impossible or impracticable
to determine an appropriate amount for any of those five days on the above basis,
the Directors may, if they think fit and having taken into account the prices at which
recent dealings in such shares have taken place, determine an amount for such day
and the amount so determined shall be deemed to be appropriate for that day for the
purposes of calculating the Appropriate Price; and if the means of providing the
foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the Appropriate
Price is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then the
Appropriate Price shall be determined on the basis of the equivalent information
published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on Euronext Dublin or its
equivalent; and

provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements, which includes, from the JSE Step-up
becoming effective, that the minimum price cannot be lower than 90% of the
weighted average traded price of an Ordinary Share calculated over the 30 business
days prior to the date that the price of the reissue is agreed (should it be lower, then
the minimum price will be 90% of the weighted average traded price of an Ordinary
Share calculated over the 30 business days prior to the date that the price of the
reissue is agreed); and
d. the authority hereby conferred shall expire on close of business on the date of the
next annual general meeting of the Company after the date of passing this resolution
or the date which is 15 calendar months after the date of passing of this resolution
