A Shareholder may appoint more than one person to act as his proxy and each such person shall act as proxy for the Shareholder for the number of ordinary shares specified in the instrument appointing the person as proxy. If a Shareholder appoints more than one person to act as his proxy, each instrument appointing a proxy shall specify the number of ordinary shares held by the Shareholder for which the relevant person is appointed his proxy. Each duly appointed proxy has the same rights as the Shareholder by whom he was appointed to speak at a meeting and vote at a meeting in respect of the number of ordinary shares held by the Shareholder for which he was appointed as proxy.
A proxy may be revoked by: (i) giving the Company notice in writing deposited at the Company’s Registered office (c/o Computershare Company Secretarial Services (Jersey) Limited at Queensway House, Hilgrove Street, St Helier, Jersey JE1 1ES, Channel Islands (attention: Sheena Toudic)) before the commencement of the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the taking of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote; (ii) depositing a new Form of Proxy with the Company Secretary before the commencement of the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the taking of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote (although it should be noted that the new Form of Proxy will only be a valid proxy, as opposed to being capable of revoking an earlier Form of Proxy, if deposited not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof or for the taking of a poll at which the proxy proposes to vote); or (iii) the shareholder attending in person and voting on a poll. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be revoked by the appointing Shareholder attending and participating in a meeting, unless the appointing Shareholder votes on a poll at the meeting in respect of the ordinary shares for which the relevant proxy is appointed his proxy.

Voting
On a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each ordinary share held or represented. On a poll, a Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way. A resolution put to the vote of Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by the Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting or a Shareholder present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In the case of joint holders only one of them may vote and in the absence of election as to who is to vote, the vote of the holder whose name appears first in order in the Register of Members, whether in person or by proxy will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
Ordinary shares represented by a duly executed instrument appointing a proxy or proxies that is deposited with the Company at its registered office (at least 48 hours before the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting) will be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with Shareholders’ instructions contained in such instrument.
The resolution is proposed as a special resolution. On a show of hands, the special resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be duly passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of not less than two thirds of Shareholders present in person or by proxy and voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If a poll is demanded in the manner described above, the special resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting for which voting by poll is demanded will be duly passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of not less than two thirds of votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each ordinary share held or represented, with each Shareholder present in person or by proxy having one vote for each ordinary share held or represented. In the event of an equality of votes, whether upon a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.
Cost of Soliciting Proxies

In this Proxy Statement, references to “£” and pence refer to the currency of the United Kingdom.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Shareholders will be requested to vote on the proposal to increase the authorised share capital of the Company.

 

3


 

PROPOSAL
THAT the authorised share capital of the Company be and hereby is increased from £5,100,000, divided into 50,000,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of 10 pence each, to £6,100,000, divided into 60,000,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of 10 pence each, by the creation of 10,000,000 additional ordinary shares of 10 pence each and that the Company’s memorandum of association be amended accordingly.
General
Currently, the Company’s authorized share capital is £5,100,000 divided into 50,000,000 ordinary shares of 10 pence each and 1,000,000 preferred shares of 10 pence each. As at September 30, 2011, the issued share capital of the Company is £4,460,351.90 divided into 44,603,519 ordinary shares of 10 pence each, with a share capital of £639,648.1 remaining unissued. We are therefore proposing that the Company’s authorized share capital be increased to £6,100,000.
The proposed increase in the Company’s authorized share capital would benefit the Company in numerous ways, enabling the Board of Directors to cater to the funding needs of the business by issuing additional ordinary shares to take advantage of market opportunities.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, all authorized but unissued ordinary shares will be issuable, without any further authorization by the Shareholders, on the terms and for such consideration as our Board of Directors may determine. We do not expect that Shareholder approval will be sought, unless required by applicable law, regulation or exchange listing standard as a condition to the issuance of ordinary shares in any particular transaction.
Any issuance of additional ordinary shares could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing ordinary shares, and such additional ordinary shares could be used to dilute the share ownership of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. Ordinary shareholders of the Company do not have pre-emptive rights to subscribe to additional securities that the Company may issue, which means that current shareholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of shares in order to maintain their proportionate ownership.
The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the resolution to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from £5,100,000 to £6,100,000 by the creation of 10,000,000 additional ordinary shares of 10 pence each and that the Company’s memorandum of association be amended accordingly.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board does not presently intend to bring any other business before the Extraordinary General Meeting, and so far as is known to the Board, no matters will be brought before the Extraordinary General Meeting except as is specified in this Proxy Statement. As to any business that may properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting, however, it is intended that proxies, in the form enclosed, will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of those persons voting such proxies.
