Im Jahr zweitausendundacht, am vierzehnten November.
Vor dem unterzeichnenden Notar Henri Hellinckx, mit Amtssitz in Luxemburg, Großherzogtum Luxemburg.
Sind erschienen:
1) Die Aktiengesellschaft DWS Investment S.A., gegründet nach Luxemburger Recht, eingetragen im Handelsregister
Luxemburg unter der Nummer B 25.754, mit Sitz in 2, Boulevard Konrad Adenauer, L-1115 Luxemburg, vertreten durch

Die vorerwähnten Vollmachten bleiben, nach Paraphierung "ne varietur" durch die erschienenen Parteien und den
beurkundenden Notar, vorliegender Urkunde als Anlage beigefügt, um mit derselben hinterlegt zu werden.
Die Erschienenen, handelnd wie angegeben, haben den unterzeichnenden Notar ersucht, die Gründung einer Aktien-
gesellschaft in Form einer Gesellschaft mit variablem Kapital SICAV-FIS urkundlich festzustellen, die sie hiermit beschließen
und deren Satzung wie folgt lautet:
Art. 1. Gesellschaft
1. Es besteht eine Gesellschaft unter der Bezeichnung "Corporate XI" (die "Gesellschaft").
2. Die Gesellschaft ist eine in Luxemburg als Investmentgesellschaft in Form einer Aktiengesellschaft (société anonyme)
mit variablem Kapital (Société d'Investissement à Capital Variable, SICAV-FIS) gegründete offene Investmentgesellschaft
gemäß Kapitel 3 des Gesetzes vom 13. Februar 2007 über spezialisierte Investmentfonds, einschliesslich nachfolgender
Änderungen und Ergänzungen (das "Gesetz von 2007"). Die Gesellschaft kann dem Anleger nach freiem Ermessen einen
oder mehrere Teilfonds anbieten (Umbrella-Konstruktion). Die Gesamtheit der Teilfonds ergibt den Umbrellafonds. Im
Verhältnis zu Dritten haften die Vermögenswerte eines Teilfonds lediglich für die Verbindlichkeiten und Zahlungsverp-
flichtungen, die diesen Teilfonds betreffen. Es können jederzeit weitere Teilfonds aufgelegt und / oder ein oder mehrere
bestehende Teilfonds mit Zustimmung der betroffenen Anteilinhaber aufgelöst oder zusammengelegt werden.
3. Die vertraglichen Rechte und Pflichten der Anteilinhaber sind in dieser Satzung geregelt, deren gültige Fassung sowie
Änderungen derselben im "Mémorial, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations", dem Amtsblatt des Großherzogtums Lu-
xemburg ("Mémorial"), veröffentlicht sind. Durch den Kauf eines Anteils erkennt der Anteilinhaber die Satzung sowie alle
genehmigten und veröffentlichten Änderungen derselben an.
4. Die Gesellschaft ist auf unbestimmte Zeit errichtet.
Art. 2. Gesellschaftszweck. Zweck der Gesellschaft ist der Erwerb, der Verkauf und die Verwaltung von Wertpapieren
und sonstigen zulässigen Vermögenswerten nach dem Grundsatz der Risikostreuung. Die Gesellschaft handelt dabei auf
der Grundlage und im Rahmen der Bestimmungen des Gesetzes von 2007 in der jeweiligen Fassung, sowie unter Beachtung
der Regelungen dieser Satzung.
Art. 3. Gesellschaftssitz. Sitz der Gesellschaft ist Luxemburg. Bei Eintritt außergewöhnlicher Umstände politischer,
wirtschaftlicher oder sozialer Natur, welche die Geschäftstätigkeit der Gesellschaft oder die Kommunikation mit dem
139308
Gesellschaftssitz behindern oder zu behindern drohen, kann der Verwaltungsrat den Gesellschaftssitz zeitweilig ins Aus-
land verlegen. Eine solche Sitzverlegung ändert an der luxemburgischen Staatsangehörigkeit der Gesellschaft nichts.
Art. 4. Gesellschafterversammlung
1. Die Gesellschafterversammlung repräsentiert die Gesamtheit der Anteilinhaber, unabhängig davon an welchem
Teilfonds die Anteilinhaber beteiligt sind. Sie kann über alle Angelegenheiten der Gesellschaft befinden. Die Beschlüsse
der Gesellschafterversammlung in Angelegenheiten der Gesellschaft insgesamt binden alle Anteilinhaber.
2. Die ordentliche Gesellschafterversammlung findet am Gesellschaftssitz oder an jedem anderen im Voraus festge-
legten Ort im Großherzogtum Luxemburg am dritten Dienstag im April jeden Jahres um 09.30 Uhr statt. Falls der dritte
Dienstag im April eines Jahres ein Bankfeiertag ist, findet die Gesellschafterversammlung am darauf folgenden Bankar-
beitstag statt. Die Anteilinhaber können sich auf der Gesellschafterversammlung vertreten lassen. Beschlüsse werden mit
einfacher Mehrheit der abgegebenen Stimmen der auf dieser Versammlung anwesenden und vertretenen Anteilinhaber
gefasst. Im Übrigen findet das Gesetz über die Handelsgesellschaften vom 10. August 1915, einschließlich nachfolgender
Änderungen und Ergänzungen (das "Gesetz vom 10. August 1915") Anwendung.
Sonstige Versammlungen der Anteilinhaber werden an dem Ort und an dem Tag abgehalten, die in der jeweiligen
Versammlungsmitteilung angegeben sind.
3. Die Gesellschafterversammlung kann durch den Verwaltungsrat einberufen werden. Einladungen zu Gesellschafter-
versammlungen werden im Mémorial, in einer Luxemburger Zeitung sowie in weiteren Zeitungen, welche der Verwal-
tungsrat für zweckmäßig hält, veröffentlicht. Soweit alle Anteilinhaber anwesend oder vertreten sind und bestätigen, dass
sie Kenntnis von der Tagesordnung haben, kann auf eine förmliche Einladung verzichtet werden.
4. Eine Gesellschafterversammlung ist vom Verwaltungsrat einzuberufen und binnen einem Monat abzuhalten, wenn
ein entsprechender schriftlicher Antrag von Anteilinhabern, welche wenigstens zehn Prozent (10%) des Kapitals der
Gesellschaft vertreten, vorliegt.
5. Anteilinhaber, welche wenigstens zehn Prozent (10%) des Kapitals der Gesellschaft vertreten, können einen oder
mehrere Punkte der Tagesordnung hinzufügen. Eine solche Anfrage muss wenigstens fünf (5) Tage vor der Versammlung
per Einschreiben an den Sitz der Gesellschaft gesendet werden. Die Gesellschaft bestätigt dem Anteilinhaber den Erhalt
der Anfrage per Brief, elektronischer Post, Telegramm oder Telekopie.
Art. 5. Verwaltungsrat
1. Die Gesellschaft wird von einem Verwaltungsrat von mindestens drei Mitgliedern verwaltet, die nicht Anteilinhaber
der Gesellschaft zu sein brauchen. Die Verwaltungsratsmitglieder werden für die Dauer von bis zu sechs Jahren bestellt;
sie können von der Gesellschafterversammlung jederzeit abberufen werden. Eine Wiederwahl ist möglich. Scheidet ein
Verwaltungsratsmitglied vor Ablauf seiner Amtszeit aus, so können die verbleibenden Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrats
einen vorläufigen Nachfolger bestimmen, dessen Bestellung von der nächstfolgenden Gesellschafterversammlung bestätigt
werden muss.
2. Der Verwaltungsrat hat die Befugnis, alle Geschäfte zu tätigen und alle Handlungen vorzunehmen, die zur Erfüllung
des Gesellschaftszwecks notwendig oder nützlich erscheinen. Er ist zuständig für alle Angelegenheiten der Gesellschaft,
soweit sie nicht nach dem Gesetz oder nach dieser Satzung der Gesellschafterversammlung vorbehalten sind.
3. Der Verwaltungsrat kann seinen Präsidenten bestimmen, der in den Verwaltungsratssitzungen den Vorsitz hat.
4. Der Verwaltungsrat ist nur beschlussfähig, wenn die Mehrzahl seiner Mitglieder anwesend (wobei dies auch im Wege
einer Telefon- oder Videokonferenz möglich ist) oder vertreten ist. Ein Verwaltungsratsmitglied kann sich durch ein
anderes Verwaltungsratsmitglied vertreten lassen, das dazu bevollmächtigt wurde. In Dringlichkeitsfällen kann auch die
Beschlussfassung durch Brief, elektronischer Post, Telegramm oder Telekopie erfolgen. Die Beschlüsse des Verwaltungs-
rats werden mit Stimmenmehrheit gefasst. Bei Stimmengleichheit entscheidet die Stimme des Präsidenten des Verwal-
tungsrats. Beschlüsse des Verwaltungsrates können auch in Form von Umlaufbeschlüssen mit identischem Inhalt
verabschiedet werden, welche in einfacher oder mehrfacher Ausfertigung von allen Verwaltungsratsmitgliedern unter-
zeichnet werden.
5. Die Gesellschaft wird grundsätzlich durch gemeinschaftliche Unterschrift von mindestens zwei Mitgliedern des Ver-
waltungsrats rechtsverbindlich verpflichtet.
6. Der Verwaltungsrat kann einzelnen Verwaltungsratsmitgliedern für die Gesamtheit oder einen Teil der täglichen
Geschäftsführung die Vertretung der Gesellschaft übertragen. Die Übertragung auf einzelne Mitglieder des Verwaltungs-
rats bedarf der Einwilligung der Gesellschafterversammlung.
7. Die Sitzungsprotokolle des Verwaltungsrats sind vom Vorsitzenden der jeweiligen Sitzung zu unterzeichnen. Voll-
machten sind dem Protokoll anzuheften.
8. Kein Vertrag und kein Rechtsgeschäft zwischen der Gesellschaft und einer anderen Gesellschaft oder Rechtsperson
wird dadurch beeinträchtigt oder unwirksam, dass ein oder mehrere Verwaltungsratsmitglieder oder Bevollmächtigte der
Gesellschaft in dieser anderen Gesellschaft oder Rechtsperson ein Eigeninteresse haben oder darin eine Funktion als
Verwaltungsratsmitglied, Teilhaber, Gesellschafter, Bevollmächtigter oder Angestellter ausüben.
9. Wenn ein Verwaltungsratsmitglied oder ein Bevollmächtigter der Gesellschaft an einem Rechtsgeschäft der Gesell-
schaft ein Eigeninteresse hat, so muss er hierüber dem Verwaltungsrat Mitteilung machen. In diesem Fall kann er weder
139309
an den Beratungen noch an der Abstimmung über dieses Geschäft teilnehmen. Der nächsten Gesellschafterversammlung
ist hierüber Bericht zu erstatten.
10. Der Begriff "Eigeninteresse" findet keine Anwendung auf jedwede Angelegenheit, Beziehung oder Geschäft, die mit
einer Gesellschaft des Deutsche Bank Konzerns bestehen.
11. Der Verwaltungsrat kann unter eigener Verantwortung im Rahmen der gesetzlichen Möglichkeiten Aufgaben an
Dritte delegieren oder auch eine Verwaltungsgesellschaft benennen und diese beauftragen, sämtliche Aufgaben der ge-
meinsamen Anlageverwaltung wahrzunehmen. Die Benennung Dritter oder einer Verwaltungsgesellschaft sowie der
übertragenen Aufgaben ist dem jeweils gültigen Emissionsdokument zu entnehmen.
Art. 6. Anlageausschüsse
1. Die Gesellschaft hat für jeden Teilfonds oder sofern der Teilfonds in verschiedene Anlagesegmente unterteilt ist,
für jedes Anlagesegment je einen Anlageausschuss zu bilden. Sofern ein Anlageausschuss eines Teilfonds gebildet wurde,
wird dies im Emissionsdokument für den jeweiligen Teilfonds erwähnt.
2. Der jeweilige Anlageausschuss berät den Fondsmanager des jeweiligen Teilfonds oder des jeweiligen Anlagesegments
des Teilfonds der Gesellschaft über mögliche Anlagen im Rahmen der Anlagepolitik und unter Berücksichtigung der
Anlagebeschränkungen des entsprechenden Teilfonds. Die Sitzungen der Anlageausschüsse finden mindestens einmal
halbjährlich statt.
3. Die Anlageausschüsse geben sich eine Geschäftsordnung, welche den Anteilinhabern des entsprechenden Teilfonds
kostenlos auf deren Anfrage übermittelt wird. Beschlüsse über die Geschäftsordnung und deren Änderung erfolgen mit
einer zwei Drittel Mehrheit der im jeweiligen Anlageausschuss anwesenden oder vertretenen Mitglieder.
4. Im Falle der Bildung eines Anlageausschusses eines jeweiligen Teilfonds umfasst der Anlageausschuss mindestens
drei Mitglieder. Der Verwaltungsrat der Gesellschaft hat das Recht, ein Mitglied des jeweiligen Anlageausschusses für die
Dauer von drei Jahren zu benennen. Die Anteilinhaber des jeweiligen Teilfonds wählen mit einfacher Mehrheit der an-
wesenden oder vertretenen Stimmen die verbleibenden Mitglieder des entsprechenden Anlageausschusses für eine Dauer
von drei Jahren.
5. Die Mitglieder der Anlageausschüsse behalten ihr Mandat bis zur wirksamen Ernennung eines Nachfolgers. Die
Mitglieder der Anlageausschüsse können mehrmals hintereinander gewählt werden. Die Versammlung der Anteilinhaber
des Teilfonds sowie der Verwaltungsrat der Investmentgesellschaft kann die/das jeweilige(n) von ihr/ihm gewählte(n)
Mitglied(er) jederzeit und unbegründet durch Beschluss abberufen.
6. Sollte die Zahl der Mitglieder eines Anlageausschusses unter drei Mitglieder fallen, wird im Falle des Wegfalls des
vom Verwaltungsrat benannten Mitgliedes dieses unverzüglich durch ein anderes vom Verwaltungsrat der Gesellschaft
zu bestimmendes Mitglied ersetzt; im Falle des Wegfalls eines von der Versammlung der Anteilinhaber des Teilfonds
gewählten Mitgliedes wird der Verwaltungsrat der Gesellschaft unverzüglich eine Versammlung der Anteilinhaber des
Teilfonds einberufen, um die freie Stelle durch eine Wahl der Anteilinhaber des Teilfonds neu zu besetzen.
7. Die nähere Ausgestaltung der Durchführung von Sitzungen der Anlageausschüsse und deren Beschlussfassung kön-
nen der Geschäftsordnung des jeweiligen Anlageausschusses entnommen werden.
Art. 7. Gesellschaftskapital
1. Das Gesellschaftskapital entspricht zu jeder Zeit dem Gesamtnettowert derverschiedenen Teilfonds der Gesellschaft
("Netto-Gesellschaftsvermögen") und wird repräsentiert durch Gesellschaftsanteile ohne Nennwert, die als Namensan-
teile und/oder als Inhaberanteile ausgegeben werden können.

und Eintragung im Handelsregister hinsichtlich der Erhöhung und Herabsetzung von Aktienkapital nicht maßgebend.
2. Das Gesellschaftsmindestkapital beträgt 1.250.000 Euro (eine Million zweihundertfünfzig Euro) und wird innerhalb
von sechs Monaten nach Gründung der Gesellschaft erreicht. Das Gründungskapital der Gesellschaft beträgt 31.000,-
Euro (einunddreissigtausend Euro), eingeteilt in 310 (dreihundertzehn) Aktien ohne Nennwert.
3. Der Verwaltungsrat kann jederzeit gegen Zahlung des Ausgabepreises zu Gunsten der Gesellschaft neue Gesell-
schaftsanteile im jeweiligen Teilfonds ausgeben, ohne dass den bis dahin existierenden Anteilinhabern jedoch ein
Vorzugsrecht auf Zeichnung dieser neuen Anteile zusteht. Der Verwaltungsrat kann die Befugnis zur Ausgabe neuer
Anteile an ein Verwaltungsratsmitglied übertragen. Das Gesellschaftsvermögen des jeweiligen Teilfonds wird in Wertpa-
pieren und anderen gesetzlich zulässigen Vermögenswerten angelegt, im Einklang mit der Anlagepolitik des entsprechen-
den Teilfonds, wie sie vom Verwaltungsrat bestimmt wird und unter Berücksichtigung der gesetzlichen oder vom
Verwaltungsrat aufgestellten Anlagebeschränkungen, sowie unter Beachtung dieser Satzung.

teilausgabe, bei der Rücknahme von Anteilen erfolgt die Gutschrift des Gegenwertes zwei Bankgeschäftstage nach

139310

nachfolgender Ergänzungen abschließen.
Die Depotbank übernimmt die Verpflichtungen und Verantwortlichkeiten entsprechend dem Gesetz von 2007.
Die Depotbank sowie die Gesellschaft sind berechtigt, die Depotbankbestellung jederzeit schriftlich mit einer Frist von
drei Monaten zu kündigen. Eine solche Kündigung wird wirksam, wenn die Gesellschaft mit Genehmigung der zuständigen
Aufsichtsbehörde eine andere Bank zur Depotbank bestellt und diese die Pflichten und Funktionen als Depotbank über-
nimmt, bis dahin wird die bisherige Depotbank zum Schutz der Interessen der Anteilinhaber ihren Pflichten und Funktionen
als Depotbank vollumfänglich nachkommen.

Die Teilfonds können abschließend investieren in:
- Wertpapiere und Geldmarktinstrumente, die an einem geregelten Markt oder an einem anderen Markt eines Mit-
gliedstaates der EU oder eines Nicht-Mitgliedstaates, der geregelt, anerkannt und für das Publikum offen und dessen
Funktionsweise ordnungsgemäß ist, gehandelt werden, vor allem in den Märkten Europas, Asiens, Amerikas oder Afrikas.
- Wertpapiere und Geldmarktinstrumente aus Neuemissionen, sofern die Emissionsbedingungen die Verpflichtung
enthalten, dass die Zulassung zum Handel an einer Börse oder einem anderen geregelten Markt beantragt ist, der aner-
kannt ist, für das Publikum offen ist und dessen Funktionsweise ordnungsgemäß ist, und die Zulassung spätestens vor
Ablauf eines Jahres nach Emission erlangt wird.

gleichwertig sind.

und Geldmarktinstrumenten verschiedener Emissionen anlegen, die von einem Mitgliedstaat der Europäischen Union oder
seinen Gebietskörperschaften, von einem Staat außerhalb der Europäischen Union oder von internationalen Organismen
öffentlich-rechtlichen Charakters, denen ein oder mehrere Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union angehören, begeben
oder garantiert werden, sofern das Teilfondsvermögen in Wertpapiere investiert, die im Rahmen von mindestens sechs
verschiedenen Emissionen begeben wurden, wobei Wertpapiere aus ein und derselben Emission 30% des Teilfondsver-
mögens nicht überschreiten dürfen.
- Grundstücke, grundstücksgleiche Rechte und Beteiligungen an Gesellschaften, die nach dem Gesellschaftsvertrag oder
der Satzung nur Immobilien sowie die zur Bewirtschaftung der Immobilien erforderlichen Gegenstände erwerben dürfen
(Immobiliengesellschaften).
- Bis zu 20% des Teilfondsvermögens in nicht an einer Börse zugelassene oder in einen organisierten Markt einbezogene
Unternehmensbeteiligungen.
- Bis zu 10% des Teilfondsvermögens in Genussrechte.
Art. 11. Anteile
1. Die Anteile können als Namensanteile oder als Inhaberanteile ausgegeben werden. Ein Anspruch auf Auslieferung
effektiver Anteile besteht nicht.
Die Gesellschaft erkennt nur einen einzigen Anteilinhaber pro Anteil an. Im Falle eines gemeinschaftlichen Besitzes
oder eines Nießbrauchs kann die Gesellschaft die Ausübung der mit dem Anteilbesitz verbundenen Rechte bis zu dem
Zeitpunkt suspendieren, zu dem eine Person angegeben wird, die die gemeinschaftlichen Besitzer oder die Begünstigten
und Nießbraucher gegenüber der Gesellschaft vertritt.
139311
Die Gesellschaft kann Anteilbruchteile ausgeben. Sofern Anteilbruchteile ausgegeben werden, enthält das Emissions-
dokument konkrete Angaben darüber, mit wievielen Dezimalstellen eine Ausgabe von Bruchteilen erfolgt.
Sollten Anteile als Namensanteile ausgegeben werden ist das Anteilinhaberregister schlüssiger Beweis für das Eigentum
an den Anteilen. Sofern für einen Teilfonds nicht anders vorgesehen, werden Anteilsbruchteile von Namensanteilen kauf-
männisch gerundet ausgegeben. Eine Rundung kann für den jeweiligen Anteilinhaber oder den Fonds vorteilhaft sein.
Die Ausgabe von Namensanteilen erfolgt ohne Anteilscheine.
Der Verwaltungsrat kann die Ausgabe von Inhaberanteilen beschließen, die durch eine oder mehrere Globalurkunden
verbrieft werden.
Diese Globalurkunden werden auf den Namen der Gesellschaft ausgestellt und bei den Clearingstellen hinterlegt. Die
Übertragbarkeit der durch eine Globalurkunde verbrieften Inhaberanteile unterliegt den jeweils geltenden gesetzlichen
Bestimmungen sowie den Vorschriften und Verfahren der mit der Übertragung befassten Clearingstelle. Anleger erhalten
die durch eine Globalurkunde verbrieften Inhaberanteile durch Einbuchung in die Depots ihrer Finanzmittler, die direkt
oder indirekt bei den Clearingstellen geführt werden. Solche durch eine Globalurkunde verbriefte Inhaberanteile sind
gemäß und in Übereinstimmung mit den im Emissionsdokument enthaltenen Bestimmungen, den an der jeweiligen Börse
geltenden Regelungen und/oder den Regelungen der jeweiligen Clearingstelle frei übertragbar. Anteilinhaber, die nicht an
einem solchen System teilnehmen, können durch eine Globalurkunde verbriefte Inhaberanteile nur über einen am Ab-
wicklungssystem der entsprechenden Clearingstelle teilnehmenden Finanzmittler übertragen.
Alle Anteile innerhalb eines Teilfonds haben gleiche Rechte. Anteile werden von der Gesellschaft nach Eingang des
Anteilwertes zu Gunsten der Gesellschaft unverzüglich ausgegeben.
Ausgabe und Rücknahme der Anteile erfolgt bei der Gesellschaft, einer benannten Verwaltungsgesellschaft sowie über
jede Zahlstelle.
2. Anteile werden ausschließlich an sachkundige Anleger im Sinne von Artikel 2 des Gesetzes von 2007 ausgegeben,
d.h. an institutionelle oder professionelle Anleger oder solche Anleger, die ein schriftliches Einverständnis mit der Ei-
nordnung als sachkundiger Anleger abgeben und (1) mindestens 125.000 Euro in die Gesellschaft investieren oder (2)
eine Einstufung seitens eines Kreditinstituts im Sinne der Richtlinie 2006/48/EG, eines Wertpapierunternehmens im Sinne
der Richtlinie 2004/39/EG oder einer Verwaltungsgesellschaft im Sinne der Richtlinie 2001/107/EG, die ihren Sachverstand,
ihre Erfahrung und Kenntnisse bestätigt, um die Anlage in die Gesellschaft angemessen beurteilen zu können, vorlegen.
Eine Übertragung von Anteilen bedarf der vorherigen Zustimmung der Gesellschaft und ist nur möglich, wenn der
Käufer ein sachkundiger Anleger im Sinne des Gesetzes von 2007 ist und wenn er voll und ganz die restlichen Verpflich-
tungen gegenüber der Gesellschaft übernimmt.
Falls ein Anteilinhaber Anteile der Gesellschaft nicht für eigene Rechnung zeichnet, sondern für Rechnung eines Dritten,
so muss dieser Dritte ebenfalls ein sachkundiger Anleger im Sinne des Gesetzes von 2007 sein.
3. Jeder Anteilinhaber hat Stimmrecht auf der Gesellschafterversammlung. Das Stimmrecht kann in Person oder durch
Stellvertreter ausgeübt werden. Jeder Anteil gibt Anrecht auf eine Stimme.
Anteilbruchteile geben kein Stimmrecht, berechtigen aber zur Teilnahme an den Ausschüttungen der Gesellschaft auf
einer pro rata-Basis.
4. Die Gesellschaft kann in ihrer eigenen Verantwortung und in Übereinstimmung mit den im Emissionsdokument
näher festgelegten Bedingungen Wertpapiere für eine Zeichnung in Zahlung nehmen ("Sacheinlage"), soweit die Gesell-
schaft davon ausgeht, dass dies im Interesse der Anteilinhaber des jeweiligen Teilfonds ist. Der Geschäftsgegenstand der
Unternehmen, deren Wertpapiere für eine Zeichnung in Zahlung genommen werden, hat jedoch der Anlagepolitik und
den Anlagebeschränkungen des jeweiligen Teilfonds zu entsprechen. Der Verwaltungsrat der Gesellschaft kann nach
eigenem Ermessen alle oder einzelne Wertpapiere, die als Zahlung für eine Zeichnung angeboten werden ohne Angabe
von Gründen ablehnen. Sämtliche durch die Sacheinlage verursachten Kosten fallen in voller Höhe dem Zeichner zur Last.
Die Gesellschaft ist verpflichtet, durch den Abschlussprüfer der Gesellschaft einen Bewertungsbericht erstellen zu lassen,
aus dem insbesondere die Menge, die Bezeichnung, der Wert sowie die Bewertungsmethode für diese Wertpapiere
hervorgehen.
5. Ausgabe und Rücknahme der Anteile sowie die Auszahlung von Ausschüttungen erfolgen durch die Gesellschaft,
den Transfer Agent sowie über jede Zahlstelle.
Art. 12. Beschränkungen der Ausgabe von Anteilen. Die Gesellschaft kann jederzeit aus eigenem Ermessen einen
Zeichnungsantrag zurückweisen oder die Ausgabe von Anteilen zeitweilig beschränken, aussetzen oder endgültig eins-
tellen oder Anteile gegen Zahlung des Rücknahmepreises zurückkaufen, wenn dies zum Schutz der Anteilinhaber des
jeweiligen Teilfonds und/oder der Gesellschaft erforderlich erscheint.
In diesem Fall wird die Verwaltungsgesellschaft oder Zahlstelle der Gesellschaft auf nicht bereits ausgeführte Zeich-
nungsanträge eingehende Zahlungen unverzüglich zurückzahlen.
Art. 13. Anteilwertberechnung
1. Das Gesamt-Gesellschaftsvermögen der Gesellschaft lautet auf Euro.
2. Der Wert eines Anteils wird für jeden Teilfonds regelmäßig ermittelt, und zwar nicht weniger als einmal im Monat
("Bewertungstag"). Nähere Regelungen werden im Emissionsdokument ausgeführt. Die Gesellschaft kann die Anteilwert-
139312
berechnung im Rahmen der gesetzlichen Grenzen an Dritte auslagern. Er wird unter Berücksichtigung der nachfolgend
aufgeführten Bewertungsregeln an jedem Bewertungstag wie folgt ermittelt:
Zunächst wird das Netto-Teilfondsvermögen als Summe der Vermögenswerte abzüglich der Verbindlichkeiten eines
Teilfonds am Bewertungstag ermittelt. Sodann wird dieses Netto-Teilfondsvermögen durch die Zahl der im Umlauf be-
findlichen Anteile des Teilfonds dividiert. Der Anteilwert kann auf die nächste Einheit der jeweiligen Währung entspre-
chend der Bestimmung durch den Verwaltungsrat auf- oder abgerundet werden. Sofern seit Bestimmung des Anteilwertes
wesentliche Veränderungen in der Kursbestimmung auf den Märkten, auf welchen ein wesentlicher Anteil der Vermö-
gensanlagen gehandelt oder notiert sind, erfolgten, kann die Gesellschaft, im Interesse der Anteilinhaber und der
Gesellschaft die erste Bewertung annullieren und eine weitere Bewertung vornehmen.
3. Die Aktiva der Gesellschaft beinhalten vornehmlich:
a) Wertpapiere und sonstige Anlagen des Gesellschaftsvermögens
b) Flüssige Mittel einschließlich angefallener Zinsen
c) Forderungen aus Dividenden und sonstigen Ausschüttungen
d) Fällige Zinsforderungen sowie sonstige Zinsen auf Wertpapiere im Eigentum der Gesellschaft, soweit sie nicht im
Marktwert dieser Wertpapiere enthalten sind
e) Sonstige Aktiva.
4. Die Passiva der Gesellschaft enthalten insbesondere:
a) Anleihen und fällige Verbindlichkeiten mit Ausnahme von Verbindlichkeiten gegenüber Tochtergesellschaften
b) Sämtliche Verbindlichkeiten aus der laufenden Verwaltung des Gesellschaftsvermögens
c) Sämtliche sonstigen fälligen und nicht fälligen Verbindlichkeiten einschließlich angekündigter aber noch nicht erfolgter
Ausschüttungen auf Anteile der Gesellschaft
d) Rückstellungen für zukünftige Steuern sowie sonstige Rücklagen, soweit sie vom Verwaltungsrat beschlossen oder
gebilligt wurden
e) Alle sonstigen Verbindlichkeiten der Gesellschaft, gleich welcher Herkunft, mit Ausnahme der Eigenmittel.
5. Gesellschaftsanteile, deren Rücknahme beantragt wurde, sind als im Umlauf befindliche Anteile bis zum Bewer-
tungstag der Rücknahme zu behandeln; der Rücknahmepreis gilt bis zur effektiven Zahlung als Verbindlichkeit der
Gesellschaft.
6. Auszugebende Gesellschaftsanteile gelten als bereits ausgegebene Anteile ab dem für den Ausgabepreis maßgeblichen
Bewertungstag. Der noch nicht gezahlte Ausgabepreis gilt bis zur Zahlung als Forderung der Gesellschaft.
7. Das jeweilige Netto-Teilfondsvermögen wird nach folgenden Grundsätzen berechnet:
a) Der Wert von Vermögenswerten, einschliesslich Anteilen an Gesellschaften, die an einer Börse notiert sind, werden
zum letzten verfügbaren bezahlten Kurs bewertet.
b) Der Wert von Vermögenswerten, einschliesslich Anteilen an Gesellschaften, die nicht an einer Börse notiert sind,
die aber an einem anderen organisierten Markt gehandelt werden, werden zu einem Kurs bewertet, der nicht geringer
als der Geldkurs und nicht höher als der Briefkurs zur Zeit der Bewertung sein darf und den die Gesellschaft für den
bestmöglichen Kurs hält, zu dem die Vermögenswerte verkauft werden können.
c) Falls solche Kurse nicht marktgerecht sind oder falls ein Vermögenswert einschliesslich Anteile an Gesellschaften
nicht an einer Börse oder an einem anderen organisierten Markt notiert oder gehandelt wird, werden diese Vermögens-
werte zum jeweiligen Verkehrswert bewertet, wie ihn die Verwaltungsgesellschaft nach Treu und Glauben und allgemein
anerkannten, von Wirtschaftsprüfern nachprüfbaren Bewertungsregeln festlegt.
d) Die flüssigen Mittel werden zu deren Nennwert zuzüglich Zinsen bewertet.
e) Festgelder können zum Renditekurs bewertet werden, sofern ein entsprechender Vertrag zwischen der Gesellschaft
und der Depotbank geschlossen wurde, gemäß dem die Festgelder jederzeit kündbar und der Renditekurs dem Realisie-
rungswert entspricht.
f) Alle nicht auf die jeweilige Teilfondswährung lautenden Vermögenswerte werden zum letzten Devisenmittelkurs in
die Teilfondswährung umgerechnet.
g) Die Preisfestlegung der Derivate, die der Fonds einsetzt, wird in üblicher vom Wirtschaftsprüfer nachvollziehbaren
Weise erfolgen und unterliegt einer systematischen Überprüfung. Die für die Preisfestlegung der Derivate bestimmten
Kriterien bleiben dabei jeweils über die Laufzeit der einzelnen Derivate beständig.
h) Credit Default Swaps werden unter Bezug auf standardisierte Marktkonventionen mit dem aktuellen Wert ihrer
zukünftigen Kapitalflüsse bewertet, wobei die Kapitalflüsse um das Ausfallrisiko bereinigt werden. Zinsswaps erhalten eine
Bewertung nach ihrem Marktwert, der unter Bezug auf die jeweilige Zinskurve festgelegt wird. Sonstige Swaps werden
mit dem angemessenen Marktwert bewertet, der in gutem Glauben gemäß den von der Verwaltungsgesellschaft aufges-
tellten und von dem Wirtschaftsprüfer des Fonds anerkannten Verfahren festgelegt wird.
i) Die in dem Fonds enthaltenen Zielfondsanteile werden zum letzten festgestellten und verfügbaren Rücknahmepreis
bewertet.
139313
j) Der Wert der Immobilien basiert auf deren Verkehrswert. Zum Zwecke der Bewertung der Immobilien und der
Beteiligungen an Immobiliengesellschaften, deren Anteile weder an einer Börse amtlich notiert, noch an einem anderen
organisierten Markt gehandelt werden, wird die Gesellschaft einen Sachverständigenausschuß aus mindestens drei unab-
hängigen, zuverlässigen und fachlich geeigneten Immobiliensachverständigen ernennen, welche diese Immobilien und
Beteiligungen an Immobiliengesellschaften mindestens einmal im Jahr am Ende des Geschäftsjahres bewerten. Die einmal
im Jahr vorgenommene Bewertung bleibt für das gesamte Geschäftsjahr gültig, es sei denn, neue Faktoren, wie z.B. Än-
derungen der allgemeinen wirtschaftlichen Lage oder des Zustandes der Liegenschaften, machen eine neue Bewertung
notwendig. Diese neue Bewertung wird unter den gleichen Bedingungen wie die jährliche Bewertung durchgeführt. Die
Namen der unabhängigen Immobiliensachverständigen werden im Jahresbericht der Gesellschaft erwähnt.
8. Es wird ein Ertragsausgleichskonto geführt.
9. Die Gesellschaft kann für umfangreiche Rücknahmeanträge, die nicht aus den liquiden Mitteln und zulässigen Kre-
ditaufnahmen befriedigt werden können, den Anteilwert auf der Basis der Kurse des Bewertungstags bestimmen, an dem
sie die erforderlichen Wertpapierverkäufe vornimmt; dies gilt dann auch für gleichzeitig eingereichte Zeichnungsanträge.
10. Die Vermögenswerte werden wie folgt zugeteilt:
a) Das Entgelt aus der Ausgabe von Anteilen eines Teilfonds wird in den Büchern der Gesellschaft dem betreffenden
Teilfonds zugeordnet. Vermögenswerte und Verbindlichkeiten sowie Einkünfte und Aufwendungen werden dem jeweili-
gen Teilfonds nach den Bestimmungen dieses Artikels zugeschrieben;
b) Vermögenswerte, welche auch von anderen Vermögenswerten abgeleitet sind, werden in den Büchern der Gesell-
schaft demselben Teilfonds zugeordnet, wie die Vermögenswerte, von welchen sie abgeleitet sind und zu jeder Neube-
wertung eines Vermögenswertes wird die Werterhöhung oder Wertminderung dem entsprechenden Teilfonds
zugeordnet;
c) Sofern die Gesellschaft eine Verbindlichkeit eingeht, welche im Zusammenhang mit einem bestimmten Vermögens-
wert eines bestimmten Teilfonds oder im Zusammenhang mit einer Handlung bezüglich eines Vermögenswertes eines
bestimmten Teilfonds steht, so wird diese Verbindlichkeit dem entsprechenden Teilfonds zugeordnet;
d) Wenn ein Vermögenswert oder eine Verbindlichkeit der Gesellschaft nicht einem bestimmten Teilfonds zuzuordnen
ist, so wird dieser Vermögenswert bzw. diese Verbindlichkeit allen Teilfonds im Verhältnis des Nettovermögens der
entsprechenden Teilfonds oder in einer anderen Weise, wie sie der Verwaltungsrat nach Treu und Glauben festlegt,
zugeteilt, wobei die Gesellschaft als Ganzes Dritten gegenüber nicht für Verbindlichkeiten einzelner Teilfonds haftet;
e) Im Falle einer Ausschüttung vermindert sich der Anteilwert der Anteile des betreffenden Teilfonds um den Betrag
der Ausschüttung.
11. Sämtliche Bewertungsregeln und -beschlüsse sind im Einklang mit allgemeinen anerkannten Regeln der Buchführung
zu treffen und auszulegen.
Vorbehaltlich Bösgläubigkeit, grober Fahrlässigkeit oder offenkundigem Irrtums ist jede Entscheidung im Zusammen-
hang mit der Berechnung des Anteilwertes, welche vom Verwaltungsrat getroffen wird, endgültig und für die Gesellschaft,
gegenwärtige, ehemalige und zukünftige Anteilinhaber bindend.
Art. 14. Einstellung der Ausgabe bzw. Rücknahme und des Umtauschs von Anteilen sowie der Berechnung des An-
teilwertes
1. Die Gesellschaft ist berechtigt, die Ausgabe bzw. Rücknahme und den Umtausch von Anteilen sowie die Berechnung
des Anteilwertes des jeweiligen Teilfonds zeitweilig einzustellen, wenn und solange Umstände vorliegen, die diese Eins-
tellung erforderlich machen, und wenn die Einstellung unter Berücksichtigung der Interessen der Anteilinhaber gerecht-
fertigt ist, und zwar in folgenden Fällen:
a) während der Zeit, in welcher eine Börse oder ein anderer geregelter Markt, an der/dem ein wesentlicher Teil der
Wertpapiere des jeweiligen Teilfonds gehandelt wird, geschlossen ist (außer an gewöhnlichen Wochenenden oder Feier-
tagen) oder der Handel an dieser Börse ausgesetzt oder eingeschränkt wurde;
b) in Notlagen, wenn der jeweilige Teilfonds über Vermögensanlagen nicht verfügen kann oder es ihm unmöglich ist,
den Gegenwert der Anlagekäufe oder -verkaufe frei zu transferieren oder die Berechnung des Anteilwertes ordnungs-
gemäß durchzuführen.
2. Anleger, die ihre Anteile zum Rückkauf angeboten haben, werden von einer Einstellung der Anteilwertberechnung
umgehend benachrichtigt und nach Wiederaufnahme der Anteilwertberechnung unverzüglich davon in Kenntnis gesetzt.
Die Einstellung der Ausgabe bzw. Rücknahme und des Umtauschs von Anteilen sowie der Berechnung des Anteilwertes
eines Teilfonds hat keine Auswirkung auf einen anderen Teilfonds.
Art. 15. Rücknahme von Anteilen
1. Die Anteilinhaber sind berechtigt, jederzeit die Rücknahme ihrer Anteile zu verlangen. Diese Rücknahme erfolgt
nur an einem Bewertungstag gemäß Artikel 13 und wird zum Anteilwert gemäß Artikel 13 dieser Satzung ausgeführt.
2. Die Gesellschaft ist nach vorheriger Genehmigung durch die Depotbank berechtigt, erhebliche Rücknahmen erst
zu tätigen, nachdem entsprechende Vermögenswerte der Gesellschaft ohne Verzögerung verkauft wurden.
139314
3. Die Gesellschaft oder eine von der Gesellschaft benannte Stelle ist nur insoweit zur Zahlung verpflichtet, als keine
gesetzlichen Bestimmungen, z.B. devisenrechtliche Vorschriften oder andere von der Gesellschaft nicht beeinflußbare
Umstände, die Überweisung des Rücknahmepreises in das Land des Antragstellers verbieten.
4. Sofern der Verwaltungsrat dies entsprechend beschließt, soll die Gesellschaft berechtigt sein, mit Zustimmung des
jeweiligen Anteilinhabers den Rücknahmepreis an diesen unbar auszuzahlen, indem dem Anteilinhaber aus dem jeweiligen
Portfolio der Vermögenswerte, Vermögensanlagen zu dem jeweiligen Wert (entsprechend der Bestimmungen gemäß
Artikel 13) an dem jeweiligen Bewertungstag, an welchem der Rücknahmepreis berechnet wird, entsprechend dem Wert
der zurückzunehmenden Aktien zugeteilt werden. Natur und Art der zu übertragenden Vermögenswerte werden in
einem solchen Fall auf einer angemessenen und sachlichen Grundlage und ohne Beeinträchtigung der Interessen der
anderen Anteilinhaber des entsprechenden Teilfonds bestimmt und die angewandte Bewertung wird durch einen geson-
derten Bericht des Wirtschaftsprüfers bestätigt. Die Kosten einer solchen Übertragung trägt der Zessionar.
Art. 16. Umtausch von Anteilen. Die Anteilinhaber eines Teilfonds können jederzeit einen Teil oder alle ihre Anteile
in Anteile eines anderen Teilfonds umtauschen, soweit dies für den Teilfonds in den Verkaufsunterlagen vorgesehen ist.
Dieser Umtausch erfolgt zum Anteilwert zuzüglich einer Umtauschprovision, deren Höhe in den Verkaufsunterlagen
angegeben ist.
Art. 17. Gründung und Schließung von Teilfonds
1. Die Gründung von Teilfonds wird vom Verwaltungsrat beschlossen.
2. Unbeschadet der auf den Verwaltungsrat übertragenen Befugnisse kann der Verwaltungsrat beschließen, das Ge-
sellschaftsvermögen eines Teilfonds aufzulösen und den Anteilinhabern den Netto-Inventarwert ihrer Anteile (unter
Berücksichtigung der tatsächlichen Realisierungswerte und Realisierungskosten in Bezug auf die Vermögensanlagen) an
dem Bewertungstag, an welchem die Entscheidung wirksam wird, auszuzahlen. Wenn ein Tatbestand eintritt, der zur
Auflösung des Teilfonds führt, werden die Ausgabe und der Rückkauf von Anteilen des jeweiligen Teilfonds eingestellt.
Der Verwaltungsrat wird den Liquidationserlös, abzüglich der Liquidationskosten und Honorare, auf Anweisung der Ge-
sellschaft oder gegebenenfalls der von der Gesellschafterversammlung ernannten Liquidatoren unter die Anteilinhaber
des entsprechenden Teilfonds nach deren Anspruch verteilen.
3. Der Verwaltungsrat ist befugt, einen in Absatz 2 genannten Beschluss zu fassen, sofern der Wert der Vermögens-
werte des jeweiligen Teilfonds derart fällt, dass eine wirtschaftlich effiziente Verwaltung dieses Teilfonds nicht mehr
gewährleistet werden kann.
Art. 18. Gesellschafterversammlung in einem Teilfonds
1. Die Anteilinhaber eines Teilfonds können zu jeder Zeit eine Gesellschafterversammlung abhalten, um über Vorgänge
zu entscheiden, welche ausschließlich diesen Teilfonds betreffen.
2. Die Bestimmungen in Artikel 4 sind auf solche Gesellschafterversammlungen analog anwendbar.
3. Jeder Anteil berechtigt zu einer Stimme im Einklang mit den Bestimmungen des Luxemburger Rechts und dieser
Satzung. Anteilinhaber können persönlich handeln oder sich aufgrund einer Vollmacht durch eine andere Person, welche
kein Anteilinhaber sein muss, aber ein Mitglied des Verwaltungsrats sein kann, vertreten lassen.
4. Vorbehaltlich anderweitiger Bestimmungen im Gesetz oder in dieser Satzung werden die Beschlüsse auf der Ge-
sellschafterversammlung der Anteilinhaber eines Teilfonds mit der einfachen Mehrheit der abgegebenen Stimmen der auf
der Versammlung anwesenden oder vertretenen Anteilinhaber gefasst.
5. Jeder Beschluss der Gesellschafterversammlung, welcher die Rechte der Anteilinhaber eines Teilfonds im Verhältnis
zu den Rechten der Anteilinhaber eines anderen Teilfonds betrifft, unterliegt einem Beschluss der Gesellschafterver-
sammlung der Anteilinhaber dieses Teilfonds und der Berücksichtigung der Bestimmungen gemäß Artikel 68 des Gesetzes
vom 10. August 1915 über Handelsgesellschaften.
Art. 19. Verwendung der Erträge
1. Der Verwaltungsrat bestimmt für jeden Teilfonds, ob eine Ausschüttung oder Thesaurierung erfolgt. Im Falle der
Ausschüttung bestimmt der Verwaltungsrat zudem, ob und in welcher Höhe eine Ausschüttung erfolgt. Bei ausschütten-
den Teilfonds können die ordentlichen Nettoerträge sowie realisierte Kapitalgewinne zur Ausschüttung kommen. Ferner
können die nicht realisierten Werterhöhungen sowie Kapitalgewinne aus den Vorjahren und sonstige Aktiva zur Aus-
schüttung gelangen, sofern das Netto-Gesellschaftsvermögen nicht unter die Mindestsumme gemäß Artikel 7 Absatz 2
dieser Satzung sinkt. Ausschüttungen werden auf die am Ausschüttungstag ausgegebenen Anteile ausgezahlt. Eventuell
verbleibende Bruchteile können in bar ausgezahlt oder gutschrieben werden.
2. Der Verwaltungsrat kann Sonder- und Zwischenausschüttungen im Einklang mit den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen für
jeden Teilfonds beschließen.
Art. 20. Änderungen der Satzung
1. Die Gesellschafterversammlung kann die Satzung in Übereinstimmung mit den Vorschriften des Luxemburger Rechts
jederzeit ganz oder teilweise ändern.
2. Änderungen der Satzung werden im Mémorial veröffentlicht.
139315

jeweiligen Rechtsordnungen, in denen die Anteile zum öffentlichen Vertrieb zur Verfügung stehen, veröffentlicht.
2. Die Gesellschaft erstellt einen geprüften Jahresbericht entsprechend den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen des Großher-
zogtums Luxemburg.
3. Emissionsdokument, Satzung und Jahresberichte sind für die Anteilinhaber am Sitz der Gesellschaft sowie bei jeder
Vertriebs- und Zahlstelle kostenlos erhältlich. Verträge mit der benannten Verwaltungsgesellschaft, etwaigen Anlagebe-
ratern, dem Fondsmanager und der Depotbank der Gesellschaft können am Sitz der Gesellschaft eingesehen werden.
Art. 22. Auflösung der Gesellschaft
1. Die Gesellschaft kann jederzeit durch die Gesellschafterversammlung aufgelöst werden.

morial und in mindestens drei überregionalen Tageszeitungen, von denen eine eine Luxemburger Zeitung ist, veröffent-
licht.
3. Wenn ein Tatbestand eintritt, der zur Auflösung der Gesellschaft führt, werden die Ausgabe und Rücknahme von
Anteilen eingestellt. Die Depotbank wird den Liquidationserlös, abzüglich der Liquidationskosten und Honorare, auf
Anweisung der Gesellschaft oder gegebenenfalls der von der Gesellschafterversammlung ernannten Liquidatoren unter
den Anteilinhabern nach deren Anspruch verteilen.
Art. 23. Rechnungsjahr. Das Rechnungsjahr der Gesellschaft beginnt am 1. Dezember und endet jeweils zum 30. No-
vember jeden Jahres.
Art. 24. Anwendbares Recht, Gerichtsstand und Vertragssprache
1. Die Satzung der Gesellschaft unterliegt Luxemburger Recht. Gleiches gilt für die Rechtsbeziehungen zwischen den
Anteilinhabern und der Gesellschaft. Die Satzung ist beim Bezirksgericht in Luxemburg hinterlegt. Jeder Rechtsstreit
zwischen den Anteilinhabern, der Gesellschaft und der Depotbank unterliegt der Gerichtsbarkeit des zuständigen Gerichts
im Gerichtsbezirk Luxemburg im Großherzogtum Luxemburg. Die Gesellschaft und die Depotbank sind berechtigt, sich
selbst und die Gesellschaft der Gerichtsbarkeit und dem Recht jeden Vertriebslandes zu unterwerfen, soweit es sich um
Ansprüche der Anteilinhaber handelt, die in dem betreffenden Land ansässig sind, und im Hinblick auf Angelegenheiten,
die sich auf die Gesellschaft beziehen.
2. Der deutsche Wortlaut dieser Satzung ist maßgeblich. Die Gesellschaft kann im Hinblick auf die Anteile der Ge-
sellschaft, die an Anteilinhaber in dem jeweiligen Land verkauft wurden, Übersetzungen in Sprachen solcher Länder als
verbindlich erklären, in welchen solche Anteile zum öffentlichen Vertrieb zugelassen sind.
Art. 25. Ergänzende Vorschriften. Sämtliche in dieser Satzung nicht geregelten Fragen werden durch die Bestimmungen
des Gesetzes vom 10. August 1915 und des Gesetzes von 2007 sowie die allgemeinen Vorschriften des Luxemburger
Rechts geregelt.

(a) all unissued shares for the time being in the capital of the Company shall be at the disposal of the board; and

share (or in any fractional part of a share) except the holder's absolute right to the entirety of the share (or fractional
part of the share).
<i>Variation of rightsi>
Method of varying rights
16. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, if at any time the capital of the Company is divided into different
classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of allotment of the shares
of that class) be varied or abrogated, whether or not the Company is being wound up, either:
(a) with the written consent of the holders of three-quarters in nominal value of the issued shares of the class (excluding
any shares of that class held as treasury shares), which consent shall be in hard copy form or in electronic form sent to
such address (if any) for the time being specified by or on behalf of the Company for that purpose, or in default of such
specification to the office, and may consist of several documents, each executed or authenticated in such manner as the
board may approve by or on behalf of one or more holders, or a combination of both; or
(b) with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the
class,
but not otherwise.
When rights deemed to be varied
17. For the purposes of Article 16, if at any time the capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares,
unless otherwise expressly provided by the rights attached to any share or class of shares, those rights shall be deemed
to be varied by:
139321
(a) the reduction of the capital paid up on that share or class of shares otherwise than by a purchase or redemption
by the Company of its own shares; and
(b) the allotment of another share ranking in priority for payment of a dividend or in respect of capital or which confers
on its holder voting rights more favourable than those conferred by that share or class of shares,
but shall not be deemed to be varied by:
(c) the creation or issue of another share ranking equally with, or subsequent to, that share or class of shares or by
the purchase or redemption by the Company of its own shares.
<i>Share certificatesi>
Members' rights to certificates
18. Every member, on becoming the holder of any shares shall be entitled, without payment, to one certificate for all
the shares of each class held by him (and, on transferring a part of his holding of shares of any class, to a certificate for
the balance of such holding). He may elect to receive one or more additional certificates for any of his shares if he pays
a reasonable sum determined from time to time by the board for every certificate after the first. Every certificate shall:
(a) be executed under the seal or in such other manner as the board may approve; and
(b) specify the number, class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the shares to which it relates and the amount or
respective amounts paid up on the shares.
The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for shares held jointly by more than one person
and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them. Shares of different classes may
not be included in the same certificate.
Replacement certificates
19. If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence
and indemnity and payment of any exceptional out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investi-
gating evidence and preparing the requisite form of indemnity as the board may determine but otherwise free of charge,
and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) on delivery up of the old certificate.
<i>Lieni>
Company to have lien on shares
20. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys
payable to the Company (whether presently or not) in respect of that share. The board may at any time (generally or in
a particular case) waive any lien or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article.
The Company's lien on a share shall extend to any amount (including without limitation dividends) payable in respect of
it.
Enforcement of lien by sale
21. The Company may sell, in such manner as the board determines, any share on which the Company has a lien if a
sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within 14 clear days after notice has been sent
to the holder of the share, or to the person entitled to it by transmission, demanding payment and stating that if the
notice is not complied with the share may be sold.
Giving effect to sale
22. To give effect to that sale the board may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer in respect of
the share sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the buyer. The title of the transferee to the shares shall not
be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.
Application of proceeds
23. The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for
which the lien exists as is presently payable, and any residue shall (upon surrender to the company for cancellation of the
certificate for the shares sold and subject to a like lien for any moneys not presently payable as existed upon the shares
before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.
<i>Calls on sharesi>
Power to make calls
24. Subject to the terms of allotment, the board may from time to time make calls on the members in respect of any
moneys unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium). Each member shall (subject to receiving
at least 14 clear days' notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) pay to the Company the amount called
on his shares as required by the notice. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A call may be revoked in whole
or part and the time fixed for payment of a call may be postponed in whole or part as the board may determine. A person
on whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made on him even if the shares in respect of which the call was made
are subsequently transferred.
139322
Time when call made
25. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the board authorising the call was
passed.
Liability of joint holders
26. The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of it.
Interest payable
27. If a call or any instalment of a call remains unpaid in whole or in part after it has become due and payable the person
from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until
it is paid. Interest shall be paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or, if
no rate is fixed, the rate determined by the board, not exceeding 15 per cent. per annum, or, if higher, the appropriate
rate (as defined in the Act), but the board may in respect of any individual member waive payment of such interest wholly
or in part.
Deemed calls
28. An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or
premium or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call duly made and notified and payable on the date so fixed
or in accordance with the terms of the allotment. If it is not paid the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that
amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
Differentiation on calls
29. Subject to the terms of allotment, the board may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between
the allottees or holders in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their shares.
<i>Forfeiture and surrenderi>
Notice requiring payment of call
30. If a call or any instalment of a call remains unpaid in whole or in part after it has become due and payable, the board
may give the person from whom it is due not less than 14 clear days' notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid
together with any interest which may have accrued and any costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Company by
reason of such non-payment. The notice shall name the place where payment is to be made and shall state that if the
notice is not complied with the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
Forfeiture for non-compliance
31. If that notice is not complied with, any share in respect of which it was sent may, at any time before the payment
required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the board. The forfeiture shall include all dividends
or other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited share which have not been paid before the forfeiture. When a share
has been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be sent to the person who was the holder of the share before the
forfeiture.
Sale of forfeited shares
32. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, a forfeited share shall be deemed to belong to the Company and
may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the board determines, either to
the person who was the holder before the forfeiture or to any other person. At any time before sale, re-allotment or
other disposal, the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the board thinks fit. Where for the purposes of its
disposal a forfeited share is to be transferred to any person, the board may authorise any person to execute an instrument
of transfer of the share to that person. The Company may receive the consideration given for the share on its disposal
and may register the transferee as holder of the share.
Liability following forfeiture
33. A person shall cease to be a member in respect of any share which has been forfeited and shall surrender the
certificate for any forfeited share to the Company for cancellation. The person shall remain liable to the Company for all
moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of that share with
interest on that amount at the rate at which interest was payable on those moneys before the forfeiture or, if no interest
was so payable, at the rate determined by the board, not exceeding 15 per cent. per annum or, if higher, the appropriate
rate (as defined in the Act), from the date of forfeiture until payment. The board may waive payment wholly or in part
or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the share at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration
received on its disposal.
Evidence of forfeiture or surrender
34. A statutory declaration by a director or the secretary that a share has been duly forfeited or surrendered on a
specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the
share. The declaration shall (subject if necessary to the execution of an instrument of transfer or transfer by means of
the relevant system, as the case may be) constitute a good title to the share. The person to whom the share is disposed
139323
of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, and his title to the share shall not be affected
by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, surrender, sale, re-allotment or
disposal of the share.
<i>Transfer of sharesi>
Form and execution of transfer of share
35. Without prejudice to any power of the Company to register as shareholder a person to whom the right to any
share has been transmitted by operation of law, the instrument of transfer of a share may be in any usual form or in any
other form which the board may approve. An instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and,
unless the share is fully paid, by or on behalf of the transferee. An instrument of transfer need not be under seal.
Registration of transfer
36. The directors may, in their absolute discretion, refuse to register the transfer of a share to any person, whether
or not it is fully paid or a share on which the company has a lien.
Notice of refusal to register
37. If the directors refuse to register a transfer of a share, they shall within two months after the date on which the
transfer was lodged with the company send to the transferee notice of the refusal.
Suspension of registration
38. The registration of transfers of shares or of transfers of any class of shares may be suspended at such times and
for such periods (not exceeding thirty days in any year) as the directors may determine.
No fee payable on registration
39. No fee shall be charged for the registration of any instrument of transfer or other document relating to or affecting
the title to any share.
Retention of transfers
40. The company shall be entitled to retain any instrument of transfer which is registered, but any instrument of transfer
which the directors refuse to register shall be returned to the person lodging it when notice of the refusal is given.
<i>Transmission of sharesi>
Transmission
41. If a member dies, the survivor or survivors where he was a joint holder, and his personal representatives where
he was a sole holder or the only survivor of joint holders, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having
any title to his interest. Nothing in these Articles shall release the estate of a deceased member (whether a sole or joint
holder) from any liability in respect of any share held by him.
Elections permitted
42. A person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member may, upon such
evidence being produced as the directors may properly require, elect either to become the holder of the share or to
have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee. If he elects to become the holder he shall give notice
to the company to that effect. If he elects to have another person registered he shall execute an instrument of transfer
of the share to that person. All the articles relating to the transfer of shares shall apply to the notice or instrument of
transfer as if it were an instrument of transfer executed by the member and the death or bankruptcy of the member had
not occurred.
Rights of persons entitled by transmission
43. A person becoming entitled by transmission to a share shall, on production of any evidence as to his entitlement
properly required by the board and subject to the requirements of Article 42, have the same rights in relation to the
share as he would have had if he were the holder of the share. That person may give a discharge for all dividends and
other moneys payable in respect of the share, but he shall not, before being registered as the holder of the share, be
entitled in respect of it to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at, any meeting of the Company or to receive notice
of, or to attend or vote at, any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company.
<i>Alteration of share capitali>
Alterations by ordinary resolution
44. The Company may by ordinary resolution:
(a) increase its share capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such amount as the resolution prescribes;
(b) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;
(c) subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, sub-divide its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount
than is fixed by the Memorandum and the resolution may determine that, as between the shares resulting from the sub-
division, any of them may have any preference or advantage as compared with the others; and
139324
(d) cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any
person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.
New shares subject to these Articles
45. All shares created by ordinary resolution pursuant to Article 44 shall be:
(a) subject to all the provisions of these Articles, including without limitation provisions relating to payment of calls,
lien, forfeiture, transfer and transmission; and
(b) unclassified, unless otherwise provided by these Articles, by the resolution creating the shares or by the terms of
allotment of the shares.
Fractions arising
46. Whenever any fractions arise as a result of a consolidation or sub-division of shares, the board may on behalf of
the members deal with the fractions as it thinks fit. In particular, without limitation, the board may sell shares representing
fractions to which any members would otherwise become entitled to any person (including, subject to the provisions of
the Companies Acts, the Company) and distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among those members and
the board may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares to, or in accordance with the
directions of, the buyer. The buyer shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase moneys and his title to
the shares shall not be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings in relation to the sale.
Power to reduce capital
47. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the Company may by special resolution reduce its share capital,
capital redemption reserve and share premium account in any way.
<i>Purchase of own sharesi>
Power to purchase own shares
48. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts and without prejudice to any relevant
special rights attached to any class of shares, the Company may purchase any of its own shares of any class (including
without limitation redeemable shares) in any way and at any price (whether at par or above or below par) and may hold
such shares as treasury shares.
<i>General meetingsi>
Annual general meetings
49. The board shall convene and the Company shall hold general meetings as annual general meetings in accordance
with the requirements of the Companies Acts.
Class meetings
50. All provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to every
separate general meeting of the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company, except that:
(a) the necessary quorum shall be two persons holding or representing by proxy at least one-third in nominal value
of the issued shares of the class (excluding any shares of that class held as treasury shares) or, at any adjourned meeting
of such holders, one holder present in person or by proxy, whatever the amount of his holding, who shall be deemed to
constitute a meeting;
(b) any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll; and
(c) each holder of shares of the class shall, on a poll, have one vote in respect of every share of the class held by him.
For the purposes of this Article, where a person is present by proxy or proxies, he is treated only as holding the shares
in respect of which those proxies are authorised to exercise voting rights.
Convening general meetings
51. The board may call general meetings whenever and at such times and places as it shall determine. On the requisition
of members pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the board shall promptly convene a general meeting in
accordance with the requirements of the Companies Acts. If there are insufficient directors in the United Kingdom to
call a general meeting any director of the Company may call a general meeting, but where no director is willing or able
to do so, any two members of the Company may summon a meeting for the purpose of appointing one or more directors.

56. The notice shall include details of any arrangements made for the purpose of Article 59 (making clear that parti-
cipation in those arrangements will not amount to attendance at the meeting to which the notice relates).
General meetings at more than one place
57. The board may resolve to enable persons entitled to attend a general meeting to do so by simultaneous attendance
and participation at a satellite meeting place anywhere in the world. The members present in person or by proxy at
satellite meeting places shall be counted in the quorum for, and entitled to vote at, the general meeting in question, and
that meeting shall be duly constituted and its proceedings valid if the chairman of the general meeting is satisfied that
adequate facilities are available throughout the general meeting to ensure that members attending at all the meeting places
are able to:
(a) participate in the business for which the meeting has been convened;
(b) hear and see all persons who speak (whether by the use of microphones, loudspeakers, audio-visual communications
equipment or otherwise) in the principal meeting place and any satellite meeting place; and
(c) be heard and seen by all other persons so present in the same way.
The chairman of the general meeting shall be present at, and the meeting shall be deemed to take place at, the principal
meeting place.
Interruption or adjournment where facilities inadequate
58. If it appears to the chairman of the general meeting that the facilities at the principal meeting place or any satellite
meeting place have become inadequate for the purposes referred to in Article 57, then the chairman may, without the
consent of the meeting, interrupt or adjourn the general meeting. All business conducted at that general meeting up to
the time of that adjournment shall be valid. The provisions of Article 70 shall apply to that adjournment.
Other arrangements for viewing and hearing proceedings
59. The board may make arrangements for persons entitled to attend a general meeting or an adjourned general
meeting to be able to view and hear the proceedings of the general meeting or adjourned general meeting and to speak
at the meeting (whether by the use of microphones, loudspeakers, audio-visual communications equipment or otherwise)
by attending at a venue anywhere in the world not being a satellite meeting place. Those attending at any such venue shall
not be regarded as present at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting and shall not be entitled to vote at the
meeting at or from that venue. The inability for any reason of any member present in person or by proxy at such a venue
to view or hear all or any of the proceedings of the meeting or to speak at the meeting shall not in any way affect the
validity of the proceedings of the meeting.
Controlling level of attendance
60. The board may from time to time make any arrangements for controlling the level of attendance at any venue for
which arrangements have been made pursuant to Article 59 (including without limitation the issue of tickets or the
imposition of some other means of selection) it in its absolute discretion considers appropriate, and may from time to
time change those arrangements. If a member, pursuant to those arrangements, is not entitled to attend in person or by
proxy at a particular venue, he shall be entitled to attend in person or by proxy at any other venue for which arrangements
have been made pursuant to Article 59. The entitlement of any member to be present at such venue in person or by
proxy shall be subject to any such arrangement then in force and stated by the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting
to apply to the meeting.
Change in place and/or time of meeting
61. If, after the sending of notice of a general meeting but before the meeting is held, or after the adjournment of a
general meeting but before the adjourned meeting is held (whether or not notice of the adjourned meeting is required),
the board decides that it is impracticable or unreasonable, for a reason beyond its control, to hold the meeting at the
declared place (or any of the declared places, in the case of a meeting to which Article 57 applies) and/or time, it may
change the place (or any of the places, in the case of a meeting to which Article 57 applies) and/or postpone the time at
which the meeting is to be held. If such a decision is made, the board may then change the place (or any of the places, in
the case of a meeting to which Article 57 applies) and/or postpone the time again if it decides that it is reasonable to do
so. In either case:
139326
(a) no new notice of the meeting need be sent, but the board shall, if practicable, advertise the date, time and place of
the meeting in at least two newspapers having a national circulation and shall make arrangements for notices of the change
of place and/or postponement to appear at the original place and/or at the original time; and
(b) a proxy appointment in relation to the meeting may, if by means of a document in hard copy form, be delivered
to the office or to such other place within the United Kingdom as may be specified by or on behalf of the Company in
accordance with Article 90(a) or, if in electronic form, be received at the address (if any) specified by or on behalf of the
Company in accordance with Article 90(b), at any time not less than 48 hours before the postponed time appointed for
holding the meeting.
Meaning of participate
62. For the purposes of Articles 57, 58, 59, 60 and 61, the right of a member to participate in the business of any
general meeting shall include without limitation the right to speak, vote on a show of hands, vote on a poll, be represented
by a proxy and have access to all documents which are required by the Companies Acts or these Articles to be made
available at the meeting.
Accidental omission to send notice etc.
63. The accidental omission to send a notice of a meeting or resolution, or to send any notification where required
by the Companies Acts or these Articles in relation to the publication of a notice of meeting on a website, or to send a
form of proxy where required by the Companies Acts or these Articles, to any person entitled to receive it, or the non-
receipt for any reason of any such notice, resolution or notification or form of proxy by that person, whether or not the
Company is aware of such omission or non-receipt, shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.
Security
64. The board and, at any general meeting, the chairman may make any arrangement and impose any requirement or
restriction it or he considers appropriate to ensure the security of a general meeting including, without limitation, re-
quirements for evidence of identity to be produced by those attending the meeting, the searching of their personal
property and the restriction of items that may be taken into the meeting place. The board and, at any general meeting,
the chairman are entitled to refuse entry to a person who refuses to comply with these arrangements, requirements or
restrictions.
<i>Proceedings at general meetingsi>
Quorum
65. No business shall be dealt with at any general meeting unless a quorum is present, but the absence of a quorum
shall not preclude the choice or appointment of a chairman, which shall not be treated as part of the business of the
meeting. Save as otherwise provided by these Articles, two qualifying persons present at a meeting and entitled to vote
on the business to be dealt with are a quorum, unless:
(a) each is a qualifying person only because he is authorised under the Companies Acts to act as a representative of a
corporation in relation to the meeting, and they are representatives of the same corporation; or
(b) each is a qualifying person only because he is appointed as proxy of a member in relation to the meeting, and they
are proxies of the same member.
For the purposes of this Article a "qualifying person" means (i) an individual who is a member of the Company, (ii) a
person authorised under the Companies Acts to act as a representative of the corporation in relation to the meeting, or
(iii) a person appointed as proxy of a member in relation to the meeting.
If quorum not present
66. If such a quorum is not present within five minutes (or such longer time not exceeding 30 minutes as the chairman
of the meeting may decide to wait) from the time appointed for the meeting, or if during a meeting such a quorum ceases
to be present, the meeting, if convened on the requisition of members, shall be dissolved, and in any other case shall stand
adjourned to such time and place as the chairman of the meeting may determine. The adjourned meeting shall be dissolved
if a quorum is not present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting.
Chairman
67. The chairman, if any, of the board or, in his absence, any deputy chairman of the Company or, in his absence, some
other director nominated by the board, shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If neither the chairman, deputy chairman
nor such other director (if any) is present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is not
willing to act as chairman, the directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman. If there is only one
director present and willing to act, he shall be chairman. If no director is willing to act as chairman, or if no director is
present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the members present in person or by proxy
and entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be chairman.
Directors entitled to speak
68. A director shall, notwithstanding that he is not a member, be entitled to attend and speak at any general meeting
and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company.
139327
Adjournment: chairman's powers
69. The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the
meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place. No business shall be dealt with at an adjourned
meeting other than business which might properly have been dealt with at the meeting had the adjournment not taken
place. In addition (and without prejudice to the chairman's power to adjourn a meeting conferred by Article 58), the
chairman may adjourn the meeting to another time and place without such consent if it appears to him that:
(a) it is likely to be impracticable to hold or continue that meeting because of the number of members wishing to
attend who are not present; or
(b) the unruly conduct of persons attending the meeting prevents or is likely to prevent the orderly continuation of
the business of the meeting; or
(c) an adjournment is otherwise necessary so that the business of the meeting may be properly conducted.
Adjournment: procedures
70. Any such adjournment may be for such time and to such other place (or, in the case of a meeting held at a principal
meeting place and a satellite meeting place, such other places) as the chairman may, in his absolute discretion determine,
notwithstanding that by reason of such adjournment some members may be unable to be present at the adjourned
meeting. Any such member may nevertheless appoint a proxy for the adjourned meeting either in accordance with Article
90 or by means of a document in hard copy form which, if delivered at the meeting which is adjourned to the chairman
or the secretary or any director, shall be valid even though it is given at less notice than would otherwise be required by
Article 90(a). When a meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more or for an indefinite period, notice shall be sent at least
seven clear days before the date of the adjourned meeting specifying the time and place (or places, in the case of a meeting
to which Article 57 applies) of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted. Otherwise
it shall not be necessary to send any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be dealt with at an adjourned meeting.
Amendments to resolutions
71. If an amendment is proposed to any resolution under consideration but is in good faith ruled out of order by the
chairman, the proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling. With the
consent of the chairman, an amendment may be withdrawn by its proposer before it is voted on. No amendment to a
resolution duly proposed as a special resolution may be considered or voted on (other than a mere clerical amendment
to correct a patent error). No amendment to a resolution duly proposed as an ordinary resolution may be considered
or voted on (other than a mere clerical amendment to correct a patent error) unless either:
(a) at least 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the ordinary
resolution is to be considered, notice of the terms of the amendment and the intention to move it has been delivered in
hard copy form to the office or to such other place as may be specified by or on behalf of the Company for that purpose,
or received in electronic form at such address (if any) for the time being specified by or on behalf of the Company for
that purpose, or
(b) the chairman in his absolute discretion decides that the amendment may be considered and voted on.
Methods of voting
72. A resolution put to the vote of a general meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the
declaration of the result of, a vote on the show of hands, or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll, a poll is
duly demanded. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, a poll may be demanded by:
(a) the chairman of the meeting; or
(b) (except on the election of the chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment) at least five members
present in person or by proxy having the right to vote on the resolution; or
(c) any member or members present in person or by proxy representing not less than 10% of the total voting rights
of all the members having the right to vote on the resolution (excluding any voting rights attached to any shares held as
treasury shares); or
(d) any member or members present in person or by proxy holding shares conferring a right to vote on the resolution,
being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than 10% of the total sum paid up on all the
shares conferring that right (excluding any shares conferring a right to vote on the resolution which are held as treasury
shares).
The appointment of a proxy to vote on a matter at a meeting authorises the proxy to demand, or join in demanding,
a poll on that matter. In applying the provisions of this Article, a demand by a proxy counts (i) for the purposes of paragraph
(b) of this Article, as a demand by the member, (ii) for the purposes of paragraph (c) of this Article, as a demand by a
member representing the voting rights that the proxy is authorised to exercise, and (iii) for the purposes of paragraph
(d) of this Article, as a demand by a member holding the shares to which those rights are attached.
Declaration of result
73. Unless a poll is duly demanded (and the demand is not withdrawn before the poll is taken) a declaration by the
chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, or not carried
139328
by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes
recorded in favour of or against the resolution.
Chairman's casting vote
74. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman shall be entitled to a
casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have.
Withdrawal of demand for poll
75. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn before the poll is taken, but only with the consent of the chairman. A
demand so withdrawn shall not be taken to have invalidated the result of a show of hands declared before the demand
was made. If the demand for a poll is withdrawn, the chairman or any other member entitled may demand a poll.
Conduct of poll
76. Subject to Article 77, a poll shall be taken as the chairman directs and he may, and shall if required by the meeting,
appoint scrutineers (who need not be members) and fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. The result
of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.
When poll to be taken
77. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken immediately. A poll
demanded on any other question shall be taken either at the meeting or at such time and place as the chairman directs
not being more than 30 days after the poll is demanded. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a
meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll was demanded. If a poll is demanded
before the declaration of the result of a show of hands and the demand is duly withdrawn, the meeting shall continue as
if the demand had not been made.
Notice of poll
78. No notice need be sent of a poll not taken at the meeting at which it is demanded if the time and place at which
it is to be taken are announced at the meeting. In any other case notice shall be sent at least seven clear days before the
taking of the poll specifying the time and place at which the poll is to be taken.
Effectiveness of special resolutions
79. Where for any purpose an ordinary resolution of the Company is required, a special resolution shall also be
effective.
<i>Votes of membersi>
Right to vote
80. Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares:
(a) on a show of hands every member who is present in person shall have one vote and every proxy present who has
been duly appointed by a member entitled to vote on the resolution has one vote; and
(b) on a poll every member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share of which he is the holder.
Votes of joint holders
81. In the case of joint holders of a share, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy,
shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose seniority shall be determined
by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register.
Member under incapacity
82. A member in respect of whom an order has been made by a court or official having jurisdiction (whether in the
United Kingdom or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a
poll, by his receiver, curator bonis or other person authorised for that purpose appointed by that court or official. That
receiver, curator bonis or other person may, on a show of hands or on a poll, vote by proxy. The right to vote shall be
exercisable only if evidence satisfactory to the board of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote
has been delivered to the office, or another place specified in accordance with these Articles for the delivery of proxy
appointments, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which
the right to vote is to be exercised.
Calls in arrears
83. No member shall be entitled to vote at a general meeting or at a separate meeting of the holders of any class of
shares in the capital of the Company, either in person or by proxy, in respect of any share held by him unless all moneys
presently payable by him in respect of that share have been paid.
Errors in voting
84. If any votes are counted which ought not to have been counted, or might have been rejected, the error shall not
vitiate the result of the voting unless it is pointed out at the same meeting, or at any adjournment of the meeting, and, in
the opinion of the chairman, it is of sufficient magnitude to vitiate the result of the voting.
139329
Objection to voting
85. No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting or poll
at which the vote objected to is tendered. Every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid and every vote not
counted which ought to have been counted shall be disregarded. Any objection made in due time shall be referred to the
chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.
Voting: additional provisions
86. On a poll, a member entitled to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all the votes he
uses in the same way.
<i>Proxies and corporate representativesi>
Appointment of proxy: form
87. The appointment of a proxy shall be made in writing and shall be in any usual form or in any other form which the
board may approve. Subject thereto, the appointment of a proxy may be:
(a) in hard copy form; or
(b) in electronic form, if the Company agrees.
Execution of proxy
88. The appointment of a proxy, whether made in hard copy form or in electronic form, shall be executed in such
manner as may be approved by or on behalf of the Company from time to time. Subject thereto, the appointment of a
proxy shall be executed by the appointor or any person duly authorised by the appointor or, if the appointor is a cor-
poration, executed by a duly authorised person or under its common seal or in any other manner authorised by its
constitution.
Proxies: other provisions
89. The board may, if it thinks fit, but subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, at the Company's expense
send hard copy forms of proxy for use at the meeting and issue invitations in electronic form to appoint a proxy in relation
to the meeting in such form as may be approved by the board. The appointment of a proxy shall not preclude a member
from attending and voting in person at the meeting or poll concerned. A member may appoint more than one proxy to
attend on the same occasion, provided that each such proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different
share or shares held by that member.
Delivery/receipt of proxy appointment
90. Without prejudice to Article 61(b) or to the second sentence of Article 70, the appointment of a proxy shall:
(a) if in hard copy form, be delivered by hand or by post to the office or such other place within the United Kingdom
as may be specified by or on behalf of the Company for that purpose:
(i) in the notice convening the meeting; or
(ii) in any form of proxy sent by or on behalf of the Company in relation to the meeting;
not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting (or any postponed
time appointed for holding the meeting pursuant to Article 61) at which the person named in the appointment proposes
to vote; or
(b) if in electronic form, be received at any address to which the appointment of a proxy may be sent by electronic
means pursuant to a provision of the Companies Acts or to any other address specified by or on behalf of the Company
for the purpose of receiving the appointment of a proxy in electronic form in:
(i) the notice convening the meeting; or
(ii) any form of proxy sent by or on behalf of the Company in relation to the meeting; or
(iii) any invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to the meeting;
not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting (or any postponed
time appointed for holding the meeting pursuant to Article 61) at which the person named in the appointment proposes
to vote; or
(c) in either case, where a poll is taken more than 48 hours after it is demanded, be delivered or received as aforesaid
after the poll has been demanded and not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll; or
(d) if in hard copy form, where a poll is not taken forthwith but is taken not more than 48 hours after it was demanded,
be delivered at the meeting at which the poll was demanded to the chairman or to the secretary or to any director.
Authentication of proxy appointment not made by holder
91. Where the appointment of a proxy is expressed to have been or purports to have been made, sent or supplied
by a person on behalf of the holder of a share:
(a) the Company may treat the appointment as sufficient evidence of the authority of that person to make, send or
supply the appointment on behalf of that holder;
139330
(b) that holder shall, if requested by or on behalf of the Company at any time, send or procure the sending of any
written authority under which the appointment has been made, sent or supplied or a copy of such authority certified
notarially or in some other way approved by the board, to such address and by such time as may be specified in the
request and, if the request is not complied with in any respect, the appointment may be treated as invalid; and
(c) whether or not a request under this Article has been made or complied with, the Company may determine that
it has insufficient evidence of the authority of that person to make, send or supply the appointment on behalf of that
holder and may treat the appointment as invalid.
Validity of proxy appointment
92. A proxy appointment which is not delivered or received in accordance with Article 90 shall be invalid. When two
or more valid proxy appointments are delivered or received in respect of the same share for use at the same meeting,
the one that was last delivered or received shall be treated as replacing or revoking the others as regards that share,
provided that if the Company determines that it has insufficient evidence to decide whether or not a proxy appointment
is in respect of the same share, it shall be entitled to determine which proxy appointment (if any) is to be treated as valid.
Subject to the Companies Acts, the Company may determine at its discretion when a proxy appointment shall be treated
as delivered or received for the purposes of these Articles.
Rights of proxy
93. A proxy appointment shall be deemed to entitle the proxy to exercise all or any of the appointing member's rights
to attend and to speak and vote at a meeting of the Company in respect of the shares to which the proxy appointment
relates. The proxy appointment shall, unless it provides to the contrary, be valid for any adjournment of the meeting as
well as for the meeting to which it relates.
Corporate representatives
94. Any corporation which is a member of the Company (in this Article the grantor) may, by resolution of its directors
or other governing body, authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative or representatives
at any meeting of the Company or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares. A director, the secretary
or other person authorised for the purpose by the secretary may require all or any of such persons to produce a certified
copy of the resolution of authorisation before permitting him to exercise his powers.
Revocation of authority
95. The termination of the authority of a person to act as a proxy or duly authorised representative of a corporation
does not affect:
(a) whether he counts in deciding whether there is a quorum at a meeting;
(b) the validity of anything he does as chairman of a meeting;
(c) the validity of a poll demanded by him at a meeting; or
(d) the validity of a vote given by that person,
unless notice of the termination was either delivered or received as mentioned in the following sentence at least three
hours before the start of the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than on
the same day as the meeting or adjourned meeting) the time appointed for taking the poll. Such notice of termination
shall be either by means of a document in hard copy form delivered to the office or to such other place within the United
Kingdom as may be specified by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with Article 90(a)or in electronic form
received at the address (if any) specified by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with Article 90(b), regardless of
whether any relevant proxy appointment was effected in hard copy form or in electronic form.
<i>Number of directorsi>
Limits on number of directors
96. Unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution, the number of directors (other than alternate directors) shall
be not less than 2 in number.
<i>Appointment and retirement of directorsi>
Number of directors to retire
97. At every annual general meeting one-third of the directors or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three,
the number nearest to one-third shall retire from office; but if any director has at the start of the annual general meeting
been in office for three years or more since his last appointment or re-appointment, he shall retire at that annual general
meeting.
Which directors to retire
98. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts and these Articles, the directors to retire by rotation shall be,
first, those who wish to retire and not be re-appointed to office and, second, those who have been longest in office since
their last appointment or re-appointment. As between persons who became or were last re-appointed directors on the
same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. The directors to
139331
retire on each occasion (both as to number and identity) shall be determined by the composition of the board at the date
of the notice convening the annual general meeting. No director shall be required to retire or be relieved from retiring
or be retired by reason of any change in the number or identity of the directors after the date of the notice but before
the close of the meeting.
When director deemed to be re-appointed
99. If the Company does not fill the vacancy at the meeting at which a director retires by rotation or otherwise, the
retiring director shall, if willing to act, be deemed to have been re-appointed unless at the meeting it is resolved not to
fill the vacancy or unless a resolution for the re-appointment of the director is put to the meeting and lost.
Eligibility for election
100. No person other than a director retiring by rotation shall be appointed a director at any general meeting unless:
(a) he is recommended by the board; or
(b) not less than seven nor more than 42 days before the date appointed for the meeting, notice by a member qualified
to vote at the meeting (not being the person to be proposed) has been received by the Company of the intention to
propose that person for appointment stating the particulars which would, if he were so appointed, be required to be
included in the Company's register of directors, together with notice by that person of his willingness to be appointed.
Separate resolutions on appointment
101. Except as otherwise authorised by the Companies Acts, a motion for the appointment of two or more persons
as directors by a single resolution shall not be made unless a resolution that it should be so made has first been agreed
to by the meeting without any vote being given against it.
Additional powers of the Company
102. Subject as aforesaid, the Company may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to act to be a
director either to fill a vacancy or as an additional director and may also determine the rotation in which any additional
directors are to retire. The appointment of a person to fill a vacancy or as an additional director shall take effect from
the end of the meeting.
Position of retiring directors
103. A director who retires at an annual general meeting may, if willing to act, be re-appointed. If he is not re-appointed,
he shall retain office until the meeting appoints someone in his place, or if it does not do so, until the end of the meeting.
No share qualification
104. A director shall not be required to hold any shares in the capital of the Company by way of qualification.
<i>Alternate directorsi>
Power to appoint alternates
105. Any director (other than an alternate director) may appoint any person approved by resolution of the board and
willing to act, to be an alternate director and may remove from office an alternate director so appointed by him.
Alternates entitled to receive notice
106. An alternate director shall be entitled to receive notice of all meetings of the board and of all meetings of
committees of the board of which his appointor is a member, to attend and vote at any such meeting at which his appointor
is not personally present, and generally to perform all the functions of his appointor (except as regards power to appoint
an alternate) as a director in his absence. It shall not be necessary to send notice of such a meeting to an alternate director
who is absent from the United Kingdom.
Alternates representing more than one director
107. A director or any other person may act as alternate director to represent more than one director, and an alternate
director shall be entitled at meetings of the board or any committee of the board to one vote for every director whom
he represents (and who is not present) in addition to his own vote (if any) as a director, but he shall count as only one
for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.
Expenses and remuneration of alternates
108. An alternate director may be repaid by the Company such expenses as might properly have been repaid to him
if he had been a director but shall not be entitled to receive any remuneration from the Company in respect of his services
as an alternate director. An alternate director shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the same extent as
if he were a director.
Termination of appointment
109. An alternate director shall cease to be an alternate director:
(a) if his appointor ceases to be a director; but, if a director retires by rotation or otherwise but is re-appointed or
deemed to have been re-appointed at the meeting at which he retires, any appointment of an alternate director made by
him which was in force immediately prior to his retirement shall continue after his re-appointment; or
139332
(b) on the happening of any event which, if he were a director, would cause him to vacate his office as director; or
(c) if he resigns his office by notice to the Company.
Method of appointment and revocation
110. Any appointment or removal of an alternate director shall be by notice to the Company by the director making
or revoking the appointment and shall take effect in accordance with the terms of the notice (subject to any approval
required by Article 105) on receipt of such notice by the Company which shall be in hard copy form or in electronic form
sent to such address (if any) for the time being specified by or on behalf of the Company for that purpose.
Alternate not an agent of appointor
111. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Articles, an alternate director shall be deemed for all purposes
to be a director. Accordingly, except where the context otherwise requires, a reference to a director shall be deemed
to include a reference to an alternate director. An alternate director shall alone be responsible for his own acts and
defaults and he shall not be deemed to be the agent of the director appointing him.
<i>Powers of the boardi>
Business to be managed by board
112. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the Memorandum and these Articles and to any directions given
by special resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the board which may exercise all the powers of
the Company, including without limitation the power to dispose of all or any part of the undertaking of the Company.
No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the board which
would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. The powers given by
this Article shall not be limited by any special power given to the board by these Articles. A meeting of the board at which
a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the board.
113. Notwithstanding Article 112, the following transactions by the Company shall require a resolution by the board:
(a) acquiring or disposing of an interest in any body corporate, business or other entity;
(b) giving any guarantee or granting any security in favour of a third party to secure the obligations of any affiliated
company;
(c) granting any pledge over all or some of the Company's assets or any other act that encumbers or creates any
security over all or some of the Company's assets;
(d) transferring the registered office of the Company; and
(e) borrowing in excess of € 1,000,000 from third parties or related companies.
Exercise by Company of voting rights
114. The board may exercise the voting power conferred by the shares in any body corporate held or owned by the
Company in such manner in all respects as it thinks fit (including without limitation the exercise of that power in favour
of any resolution appointing its members or any of them directors of such body corporate, or voting or providing for the
payment of remuneration to the directors of such body corporate).
<i>Delegation of powers of the boardi>
Committees of the board
115. The board may delegate any of its powers to any committee consisting of one or more directors. The board may
also delegate to any director holding any executive office such of its powers as the board considers desirable to be
exercised by him. Any such delegation shall, in the absence of express provision to the contrary in the terms of delegation,
be deemed to include authority to sub-delegate to one or more directors (whether or not acting as a committee) or to
any employee or agent of the Company all or any of the powers delegated and may be made subject to such conditions
as the board may specify, and may be revoked or altered. Subject to any conditions imposed by the board, the proceedings
of a committee with two or more members shall be governed by these Articles regulating the proceedings of directors
so far as they are capable of applying.
Agents
116. The board may, by power of attorney or otherwise, appoint any person to be the agent of the Company for such
purposes, with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in the board) and on such conditions
as the board determines, including without limitation authority for the agent to delegate all or any of his powers, authorities
and discretions, and may revoke or vary such delegation.
Offices including title "director"
117. The board may appoint any person to any office or employment having a designation or title including the word
"director" or attach to any existing office or employment with the Company such a designation or title and may terminate
any such appointment or the use of any such designation or title. The inclusion of the word "director" in the designation
or title of any such office or employment shall not imply that the holder is a director of the Company, and the holder
139333
shall not thereby be empowered in any respect to act as, or be deemed to be, a director of the Company for any of the
purposes of these Articles.
<i>Disqualification of directorsi>
Disqualification as a director
118. The office of a director shall be vacated if:
(a) he ceases to be a director by virtue of any provisions of the Companies Acts or these Articles or he becomes
prohibited by law from being a director; or
(b) he becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally or shall apply to the
court for an interim order under section 253 of the Insolvency Act 1986 in connection with a voluntary arrangement
under that Act; or
(c) he is, or may be, suffering from mental disorder and either:
(i) he is admitted to hospital in pursuance of an application for admission for treatment under the Mental Health Act
1983 or, in Scotland, an application for admission under the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 1984; or
(ii) an order is made by a court having jurisdiction (whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere) in matters concerning
mental disorder for his detention or for the appointment of a receiver, curator bonis or other person to exercise powers
with respect to his property or affairs; or
(d) he resigns his office by notice to the Company or, having been appointed for a fixed term, the term expires or his
office as a director is vacated; or
(e) he has been absent for more than six consecutive months without permission of the board from meetings of the
board held during that period and his alternate director (if any) has not attended in his place during that period and the
board resolves that his office be vacated; or
(f) he is requested to resign in writing by not less than three quarters of the other directors. In calculating the number
of directors who are required to make such a request to the director, (i) an alternate director appointed by him acting
in his capacity as such shall be excluded; and (ii) a director and any alternate director appointed by him and acting in his
capacity as such shall constitute a single director for this purpose, so that execution by either shall be sufficient.
119. A director and any alternate director appointed by him shall be under a duty, even after they have ceased to hold
office, not to divulge any information which they have concerning the Company the disclosure of which might be prejudicial
to the Company's interests, except where such disclosure is required or permitted by law.
<i>Directors' expensesi>
Directors may be paid expenses
120. The directors may be paid all travelling, hotel, and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with
their attendance at meetings of the board or committees of the board, general meetings or separate meetings of the
holders of any class of shares or of debentures of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of their
duties.
<i>Executive directorsi>
Appointment to executive office
121. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the board may appoint one or more of its body to be the holder
of any executive office (except that of auditor) in the Company and may enter into an agreement or arrangement with
any such director for his employment by the Company or for the provision by him of any services outside the scope of
the ordinary duties of a director. Any such appointment, agreement or arrangement may be made on such terms, including
without limitation terms as to remuneration, as the board determines. The board may revoke or vary any such appoint-
ment but without prejudice to any rights or claims which the person whose appointment is revoked or varied may have
against the Company because of the revocation or variation.
Termination of appointment to executive office
122. Any appointment of a director to an executive office shall terminate if he ceases to be a director but without
prejudice to any rights or claims which he may have against the Company by reason of such cessation. A director appointed
to an executive office shall not cease to be a director merely because his appointment to such executive office terminates.
Emoluments to be determined by the board
123. The emoluments of any director holding executive office for his services as such shall be determined by the board,
and may be of any description, including without limitation admission to, or continuance of, membership of any scheme
(including any share acquisition scheme) or fund instituted or established or financed or contributed to by the Company
for the provision of pensions, life assurance or other benefits for employees or their dependants, or the payment of a
pension or other benefits to him or his dependants on or after retirement or death, apart from membership of any such
scheme or fund.
139334
<i>Directors' interestsi>
Authorisation under s175 of the Companies Act 2006
124. For the purposes of section 175 of the Companies Act 2006, the board may authorise any matter proposed to
it in accordance with these articles which would, if not so authorised, involve a breach of duty by a director under that
section, including, without limitation, any matter which relates to a situation in which a director has, or can have, an
interest which conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interests of the Company. Any such authorisation will be
effective only if:
(a) any requirement as to quorum at the meeting at which the matter is considered is met without counting the director
in question or any other interested director; and
(b) the matter was agreed to without their voting or would have been agreed to if their votes had not been counted.
The board may (whether at the time of the giving of the authorisation or subsequently) make any such authorisation
subject to any limits or conditions it expressly imposes but such authorisation is otherwise given to the fullest extent
permitted. The board may vary or terminate any such authorisation at any time.
For the purposes of the Articles, a conflict of interest includes a conflict of interest and duty and a conflict of duties,
and interest includes both direct and indirect interests.
Director may contract with the Company and hold other offices etc.
125. Provided that he has disclosed to the board the nature and extent of his interest (unless the circumstances referred
to in section 177(5) or section 177(6) of the Companies Act 2006 apply, in which case no such disclosure is required) a
director notwithstanding his office:
(a) may be a party to, or otherwise interested in, any transaction or arrangement with the Company or in which the
Company is otherwise (directly or indirectly) interested;
(b) may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company (otherwise than as auditor) and he or his
firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a director; and
(c) may be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to a transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise
interested in, any body corporate:
(i) in which the Company is (directly or indirectly) interested as shareholder or otherwise; or
(ii) with which he has such a relationship at the request or direction of the Company.
Remuneration, benefits etc.
126. A director shall not, by reason of his office, be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefit
which he derives from any office or employment or from any transaction or arrangement or from any interest in any
body corporate:
(a) the acceptance, entry into or existence of which has been approved by the board pursuant to Article 124 (subject,
in any such case, to any limits or conditions to which such approval was subject); or
(b) which he is permitted to hold or enter into by virtue of paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of Article 125;
nor shall the receipt of any such remuneration or other benefit constitute a breach of his duty under section 176 of
the Companies Act 2006.
Notification of interests
127. Any disclosure required by Article 125 may be made at a meeting of the board, by notice in writing or by general
notice or otherwise in accordance with section 177 of the Companies Act 2006.
Duty of confidentiality to another person
128. A director shall be under no duty to the Company with respect to any information which he obtains or has
obtained otherwise than as a director of the Company and in respect of which he owes a duty of confidentiality to another
person. However, to the extent that his relationship with that other person gives rise to a conflict of interest or possible
conflict of interest, this article applies only if the existence of that relationship has been approved by the board pursuant
to Article 124. In particular, the director shall not be in breach of the general duties he owes to the Company by virtue
of sections 171 to 177 of the Companies Act 2006 because he fails:
(a) to disclose any such information to the board or to any director or other officer or employee of the Company;
and/or
(b) to use or apply any such information in performing his duties as a director of the Company.
Consequences of authorisation
129. Where the existence of a director's relationship with another person has been approved by the board pursuant
to Article 124 and his relationship with that person gives rise to a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest, the
director shall not be in breach of the general duties he owes to the Company by virtue of sections 171 to 177 of the
Companies Act 2006 because he:
139335
(a) absents himself from meetings of the board at which any matter relating to the conflict of interest or possible
conflict of interest will or may be discussed or from the discussion of any such matter at a meeting or otherwise; and/or
(b) makes arrangements not to receive documents and information relating to any matter which gives rise to the
conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest sent or supplied by the Company and/or for such documents and
information to be received and read by a professional adviser,
for so long as he reasonably believes such conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest subsists.
Without prejudice to equitable principles or rule of law
130. The provisions of articles 128 and 129 are without prejudice to any equitable principle or rule of law which may
excuse the director from:
(a) disclosing information, in circumstances where disclosure would otherwise be required under these articles; or
(b) attending meetings or discussions or receiving documents and information as referred to in article 129, in cir-
cumstances where such attendance or receiving such documents and information would otherwise be required under
these articles.
<i>Gratuities, pensions and insurancei>
Gratuities and pensions
131. The board may (by establishment of, or maintenance of, schemes or otherwise) provide benefits, whether by the
payment of gratuities or pensions or by insurance or otherwise, for any past or present director or employee of the
Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings or any body corporate associated with, or any business acquired by, any
of them, and for any member of his family (including a spouse, a civil partner, a former spouse and a former civil partner)
or any person who is or was dependent on him, and may (as well before as after he ceases to hold such office or
employment) contribute to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such benefit.
Insurance
132. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 187, the board may exercise all the powers of the Company to
purchase and maintain insurance for or for the benefit of any person who is or was:
(a) a director, officer or employee of the Company, or any body which is or was the holding company or subsidiary
undertaking of the Company, or in which the Company or such holding company or subsidiary undertaking has or had
any interest (whether direct or indirect) or with which the Company or such holding company or subsidiary undertaking
is or was in any way allied or associated; or
(b) a trustee of any pension fund in which employees of the Company or any other body referred to in paragraph (a)
of this Article is or has been interested,
including without limitation insurance against any liability incurred by such person in respect of any act or omission in
the actual or purported execution or discharge of his duties or in the exercise or purported exercise of his powers or
otherwise in relation to his duties, powers or offices in relation to the relevant body or fund.
Directors not liable to account
133. No director or former director shall be accountable to the Company or the members for any benefit provided
pursuant to these Articles. The receipt of any such benefit shall not disqualify any person from being or becoming a
director of the Company.
Section 719 of the Act
134. Pursuant to section 719 of the Act, the board is hereby authorised to make such provision as may seem appropriate
for the benefit of any persons employed or formerly employed by the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings in
connection with the cessation or the transfer of the whole or part of the undertaking of the Company or any subsidiary
undertaking. Any such provision shall be made by a resolution of the board in accordance with section 719.
<i>Proceedings of the boardi>
Convening meetings
135. The board shall meet at least once every three months to discuss the progress and foreseeable development of
the Company's business.
136. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the board may regulate its proceedings as it thinks fit. A director may,
and the secretary at the request of a director shall, call a meeting of the board by giving notice of the meeting to each
director. Notice of a board meeting shall be deemed to be given to a director if it is given to him personally or by word
of mouth or sent in hard copy form to him at his last known address or such other address (if any) as may for the time
being be specified by him or on his behalf to the Company for that purpose, or sent in electronic form to such address
(if any) for the time being specified by him or on his behalf to the Company for that purpose. Questions arising at a
meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall have a second or
casting vote. Any director may waive notice of a meeting and any such waiver may be retrospective. Any notice pursuant
to this Article need not be in writing if the board so determines and any such determination may be retrospective.
139336
Quorum
137. The quorum for the transaction of the business of the board shall be at least half of the members of the board.
A person who holds office only as an alternate director may, if his appointor is not present, be counted in the quorum.
Any director who ceases to be a director at a board meeting may continue to be present and to act as a director and be
counted in the quorum until the termination of the board meeting if no director objects.
138. Decisions of the board shall be made by a majority of the members of the board present or represented.
Powers of directors if number falls below minimum
139. The continuing directors or a sole continuing director may act notwithstanding any vacancies in their number,
but, if the number of directors is less than the number fixed as the quorum, the continuing directors or director may act
only for the purpose of filling vacancies or of calling a general meeting.
Chairman and deputy chairman
140. The board may appoint one of their number to be the chairman, and one of their number to be the deputy
chairman, of the board and may at any time remove either of them from such office. If half of the members of the board
are appointed by employees, only a member of the board appointed by the general meeting of shareholders may be
elected chairman. Unless he is unwilling to do so, the director appointed as chairman, or in his stead the director appointed
as deputy chairman, shall preside at every meeting of the board at which he is present. If there is no director holding
either of those offices, or if neither the chairman nor the deputy chairman is willing to preside or neither of them is
present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, the directors present may appoint one of their
number to be chairman of the meeting.
Validity of acts of the board
141. All acts done by a meeting of the board, or of a committee of the board, or by a person acting as a director or
alternate director, shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was a defect in the appointment of
any director or any member of the committee or alternate director or that any of them were disqualified from holding
office, or had vacated office, or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed
and was qualified and had continued to be a director or, as the case may be, an alternate director and had been entitled
to vote.
Resolutions in writing
142. A resolution in writing agreed to by all the directors entitled to receive notice of and vote at a meeting of the
board or of a committee of the board (not being less than the number of directors required to form a quorum of the
board) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the board or (as the case may be) a committee
of the board duly convened and held. For this purpose:
(a) a director signifies his agreement to a proposed written resolution when the Company receives from him a do-
cument indicating his agreement to the resolution authenticated in the manner permitted by the Companies Acts for a
document in the relevant form;
(b) the director may send the document in hard copy form or in electronic form to such address (if any) for the time
being specified by the Company for that purpose;
(c) if an alternate director signifies his agreement to the proposed written resolution, his appointor need not also
signify his agreement; and
(d) if a director signifies his agreement to the proposed written resolution, an alternate director appointed by him
need not also signify his agreement in that capacity.
Meetings by telephone etc.
143. Without prejudice to the first sentence of Article 135, a person entitled to be present at a meeting of the board
or of a committee of the board shall be deemed to be present for all purposes if he is able (directly or by electronic
communication) to speak to and be heard by all those present or deemed to be present simultaneously. A director so
deemed to be present shall be entitled to vote and be counted in a quorum accordingly. Such a meeting shall be deemed
to take place where it is convened to be held or (if no director is present in that place) where the largest group of those
participating is assembled, or, if there is no such group, where the chairman of the meeting is. The word meeting in these
Articles shall be construed accordingly.
Directors' power to vote on contracts in which they are interested
144. Except as otherwise provided by these Articles, a director shall not vote at a meeting of the board or a committee
of the board on any resolution of the board concerning a matter in which he has an interest (other than by virtue of his
interests in shares or debentures or other securities of, or otherwise in or through, the Company) which can reasonably
be regarded as likely to give rise to a conflict with the interests of the Company unless his interest arises only because
the resolution concerns one or more of the following matters:
(a) the giving of a guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of money lent or obligations incurred by him or any other
person at the request of or for the benefit of, the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings;
139337
(b) the giving of a guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of a debt or obligation of the Company or any of its
subsidiary undertakings for which the director has assumed responsibility (in whole or part and whether alone or jointly
with others) under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;
(c) a contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal concerning an offer of shares, debentures or other securities of
the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings for subscription or purchase, in which offer he is or may be entitled
to participate as a holder of securities or in the underwriting or sub-underwriting of which he is to participate;
(d) a contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal concerning any other body corporate in which he or any person
connected with him is interested, directly or indirectly, and whether as an officer, shareholder, creditor or otherwise, if
he and any persons connected with him do not to his knowledge hold an interest (as that term is used in sections 820
to 825 of the Companies Act 2006) representing one per cent. or more of either any class of the equity share capital
(excluding any shares of that class held as treasury shares) of such body corporate (or any other body corporate through
which his interest is derived) or of the voting rights available to members of the relevant body corporate (any such interest
being deemed for the purpose of this Article to be likely to give rise to a conflict with the interests of the Company in
all circumstances);
(e) a contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal for the benefit of employees of the Company or of any of its
subsidiary undertakings which does not award him any privilege or benefit not generally accorded to the employees to
whom the arrangement relates; and
(f) a contract, arrangement, transaction or proposal concerning any insurance which the Company is empowered to
purchase or maintain for, or for the benefit of, any directors of the Company or for persons who include directors of
the Company.
For the purposes of this Article, in relation to an alternate director, an interest of his appointor shall be treated as an
interest of the alternate director without prejudice to any interest which the alternate director has otherwise.
145. The Company may by ordinary resolution suspend or relax to any extent, either generally or in respect of any
particular matter, any provision of these Articles prohibiting a director from voting at a meeting of directors or of a
committee of directors.
Division of proposals
146. Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment (including without limitation fixing or
varying the terms of appointment) of two or more directors to offices or employments with the Company or any body
corporate in which the Company is interested, the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each director
separately. In such cases each of the directors concerned shall be entitled to vote in respect of each resolution except
that concerning his own appointment.
Decision of chairman final and conclusive
147. If a question arises at a meeting of the board or of a committee of the board as to the entitlement of a director
to vote, the question may, before the conclusion of the meeting, be referred to the chairman of the meeting and his ruling
in relation to any director other than himself shall be final and conclusive except in a case where the nature or extent of
the interests of the director concerned have not been fairly disclosed. If any such question arises in respect of the chairman
of the meeting, it shall be decided by resolution of the board (on which the chairman shall not vote) and such resolution
will be final and conclusive except in a case where the nature and extent of the interests of the chairman have not been
fairly disclosed.
<i>Secretaryi>
Appointment and removal of secretary
148. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the secretary shall be appointed by the board for such term, at
such remuneration and on such conditions as it may think fit. Any secretary so appointed may be removed by the board,
but without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach of any contract of service between him and the Company.
<i>Minutesi>
Minutes required to be kept
149. The board shall cause minutes to be recorded for the purpose of:
(a) all appointments of officers made by the board; and
(b) all proceedings at meetings of the Company, the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company, the
board and committees of the board, including the names of the directors present at each such meeting.
Conclusiveness of minutes
150. Any such minutes, if purporting to be authenticated by the chairman of the meeting to which they relate or of
the next meeting, shall be sufficient evidence of the proceedings at the meeting without any further proof of the facts
stated in them.
139338
<i>The seali>
Authority required for execution of deed
151. The seal shall only be used by the authority of a resolution of the board. The board may determine who shall sign
any document executed under the seal. If they do not, it shall be signed by at least one director and the secretary or by
at least two directors. Any document may be executed under the seal by impressing the seal by mechanical means or by
printing the seal or a facsimile of it on the document or by applying the seal or a facsimile of it by any other means to the
document. A document executed, with the authority of a resolution of the board, in any manner permitted by section
44(2) of the Companies Act 2006 and expressed (in whatever form of words) to be executed by the Company has the
same effect as if executed under the seal.
Official seal for use abroad
152. The Company may exercise the powers conferred by section 39 of the Act with regard to having an official seal
for use abroad.
<i>Registersi>
Overseas and local registers
153. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the Company may keep an overseas or local or other register
in any place, and the board may make, amend and revoke any regulations it thinks fit about the keeping of that register.
Authentication and certification of copies and extracts
154. Any director or the secretary or any other person appointed by the board for the purpose shall have power to
authenticate and certify as true copies of and extracts from:
(a) any document comprising or affecting the constitution of the Company, whether in hard copy form or electronic
form;
(b) any resolution passed by the Company, the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company, the board
or any committee of the board, whether in hard copy form or electronic form; and
(c) any book, record and document relating to the business of the Company, whether in hard copy form or electronic
form (including without limitation the accounts).
If certified in this way, a document purporting to be a copy of a resolution, or the minutes or an extract from the
minutes of a meeting of the Company, the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company, the board or a
committee of the board, whether in hard copy form or electronic form, shall be conclusive evidence in favour of all
persons dealing with the Company in reliance on it or them that the resolution was duly passed or that the minutes are,
or the extract from the minutes is, a true and accurate record of proceedings at a duly constituted meeting.
<i>Dividendsi>
Declaration of dividends
155. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends in
accordance with the respective rights of the members, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the
board.
Interim dividends
156. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the board may pay interim dividends if it appears to the board
that they are justified by the profits of the Company available for distribution. If the share capital is divided into different
classes, the board may:
(a) pay interim dividends on shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as
on shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends, but no interim dividend shall be paid on shares carrying
deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrear; and
(b) pay at intervals settled by it any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to the board that the profits available
for distribution justify the payment.
If the board acts in good faith it shall not incur any liability to the holders of shares conferring preferred rights for any
loss they may suffer by the lawful payment of an interim dividend on any shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.
Declaration and payment in different currencies
157. Dividends may be declared and paid in any currency or currencies that the board shall determine. The board may
also determine the exchange rate and the relevant date for determining the value of the dividend in any currency.
Apportionment of dividends
158. Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according
to the amounts paid up on the shares on which the dividend is paid; but no amount paid on a share in advance of the date
on which a call is payable shall be treated for the purpose of this Article as paid on the share. All dividends shall be
apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period
139339
in respect of which the dividend is paid; but, if any share is allotted or issued on terms providing that it shall rank for
dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividend accordingly.
Share Rights
159. Holders of B Shares shall be entitled, in priority to the holders of any other class of shares, to receive out of the
profits of the Company available for distribution and resolved under the Articles to be distributed in respect of each
financial year, a cumulative preferential dividend of an amount equal to two per cent. of the nominal value of each B Share
held by them respectively. The balance of the profits available for distribution and resolved under the Articles to be
distributed in respect of each financial year shall be distributed to the holders of A Shares.
Dividends in specie
160. A general meeting declaring a dividend may, on the recommendation of the board, by ordinary resolution direct
that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets, including without limitation paid up shares or
debentures of another body corporate. The board may make any arrangements it thinks fit to settle any difficulty arising
in connection with the distribution, including without limitation (a) the fixing of the value for distribution of any assets,
(b) the payment of cash to any member on the basis of that value in order to adjust the rights of members, and (c) the
vesting of any asset in a trustee.
Procedure for payment to holders and others entitled
161. Any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share may be paid by cheque sent by post to the registered
address of the person entitled or, if two or more persons are the holders of the share or are jointly entitled to it by
reason of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, to the registered address of that one of those persons who is first named
in the register of members or to such person and to such address as the person or persons entitled may in writing direct.
Every cheque shall be made payable to the order of the person or persons entitled or to such other person as the person
or persons entitled may in writing direct and payment of the cheque shall be a good discharge to the company. Any joint
holder or other person jointly entitled to a share as aforesaid may give receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable
in respect of the share.
Interest not payable
162. No dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share shall bear interest against the Company unless other-
wise provided by the rights attached to the share.
Forfeiture of unclaimed dividends
163. Any dividend which has remained unclaimed for 12 years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if
the board so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company.
<i>Capitalisation of profits and reservesi>
Power to capitalise
164. The board may with the authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company:
(a) subject to the provisions of this Article, resolve to capitalise any undistributed profits of the Company not required
for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not they are available for distribution) or any sum standing to the credit
of any reserve or other fund, including without limitation the Company's share premium account and capital redemption
reserve, if any;
(b) appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the members or any class of members on the record date specified
in the relevant resolution who would have been entitled to it if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the same
proportions;
(c) apply that sum on their behalf either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, for the time being unpaid on any
shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company
of a nominal amount equal to that sum but the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve, and any profits
which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued shares
to be allotted to members credited as fully paid;
(d) allot the shares, debentures or other obligations credited as fully paid to those members, or as they may direct, in
those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other;
(e) where shares or debentures become, or would otherwise become, distributable under this Article in fractions,
make such provision as they think fit for any fractional entitlements including without limitation authorising their sale and
transfer to any person, resolving that the distribution be made as nearly as practicable in the correct proportion but not
exactly so, ignoring fractions altogether or resolving that cash payments be made to any members in order to adjust the
rights of all parties;
(f) authorise any person to enter into an agreement with the Company on behalf of all the members concerned
providing for either:
(i) the allotment to the members respectively, credited as fully paid, of any shares, debentures or other obligations to
which they are entitled on the capitalisation; or
139340
(ii) the payment up by the Company on behalf of the members of the amounts, or any part of the amounts, remaining
unpaid on their existing shares by the application of their respective proportions of the sum resolved to be capitalised,
and any agreement made under that authority shall be binding on all such members;
(g) generally do all acts and things required to give effect to the ordinary resolution; and
165. for the purposes of this Article, unless the relevant resolution provides otherwise, if the Company holds treasury
shares of the relevant class at the record date specified in the relevant resolution, it shall be treated as if it were entitled
to receive the dividends in respect of those treasury shares which would have been payable if those treasury shares had
been held by a person other than the Company.
<i>Record datesi>
Record dates for dividends etc.
166. Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, the Company or the directors may fix any date as the

panies Acts or of these Articles or, in the case of joint holders of any share or debenture, to one of the joint holders. A

an officer or not) engaged by the Company as auditor) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any
liability incurred by him for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of the Company,
provided that this Article shall be deemed not to provide for, or entitle any such person to, indemnification to the extent
that it would cause this Article, or any element of it, to be treated as void under the Act or otherwise under the Companies
Acts."

4. Implication of the proposed transfer of registered office on the involvement of employees
The Company currently has only one employee who is one of the members of the board of directors. This employee
of the Company will cease to be employed by the Company by mutual agreement upon the transfer of the registered
office becoming effective. Under Luxembourg law, the Company is not bound to involve its employees in the management
of the Company. Thus Council Directive N° 2001/86/EC of 8th October 2001 supplementing the Statute for a European
company with regard to the involvement of employees and the provisions of the law of 25th August 2006 implementing
it are not applicable.

economic justification of the transfer of the registered office of the Company and explaining the consequences of such
transfer for the shareholder and the creditors of the Company.

The present transfer proposal shall be submitted to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company
