of all of the Company's equitable securities listed on any stock exchange for the 12 months preceding the proposed record date for the proposed purchase.

The quorum for the Annual General Meeting is either two persons entitled to attend and to vote on the business to be transacted, each being a Shareholder or a proxy for a Shareholder or a duly authorised representative of a corporation which is a Shareholder or one person entitled to attend and to vote on the business to be transacted, being a Shareholder holding not less than one-tenth of the nominal issued share capital of the Company to which the voting rights are attached and being present in person (or, being a corporation, by representative) or by proxy. On a show of hands, each holder who is present in person or (being a corporation) by a duly authorised representative has one vote. On a poll, each holder who is present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) by a duly authorised representative has one vote for every Ordinary Share held. In order to be passed, the ordinary resolutions must be passed by a majority of not less than half of such Shareholders as, being entitled so to do, vote in person (or, being a corporation, by representative) or by proxy at the Annual General Meeting.

The Company Board, pursuant to the Company's bye-laws, specifies that only those members registered in the register of members of the Company as at 12:00pm on 16 June 2023 (or in the event that the meeting is adjourned, on the register of members not later than 12:00pm two business days prior to the time of any adjournment meeting) shall be entitled to attend or vote at the meeting in respect of the ordinary shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members of the Company after 12:00pm on 16 June 2023 (or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned, on the register of members later than 12:00pm two business days prior to the time of any adjourned meeting) shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
