The Companies Act 2006 abolishes the requirement for a company to have an authorised share capital. As a result, the Company’s Articles of Association were amended at the AGM on 7 January 2010 to remove all reference to an authorised share capital.
The Directors of the Company continue to be limited as to the number of shares they can allot at any time and remain subject to the allotment authority granted by the shareholders pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act 2006. Shares on issueNumber of Shares
