Resolution 3 - Re-election of Director The Board recommends the re-election of Mr John Wakefield who retires by rotation in accordance with Article 102.1 of the Company's Articles of Association, and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election. 2 John Wakefield, Non-executive Chairman John Wakefield, aged 68, is an experienced quoted company director and corporate financier having previously worked at several nominated adviser firms.

The renewed authority represents 35% of the enlarged capital of the Company compared to 36% last year. This will allow the Board to allot shares for cash without recourse to the shareholders so that it can move quickly from time to time as it deems appropriate.
