  1. Since the allocation ratio of bonus shares to registered shares held by the eligible member is 1 new bonus share for every 45 shares held, the Bank shall, where the number of shares held by the eligible member is not exactly divisible by 45, round up the allocation to the nearest share whenever the mathematical result of the allocation formula contains a fractional entitlement which is of 0.5 of a share or more, and round down to the nearest share in the event that the mathematical result of the allocation formula contains a fractional entitlement which is of less than 0.5 of a share.

7. Authority for Directors to issue new shares

That with effect from the date of adoption of this resolution, the Board of Directors be and is hereby duly authorised and empowered to increase the issued share capital of the Bank through the issuance of up to 65,000,000 new ordinary shares of a nominal value of €0.125 per share in the same class as the shares in the Bank currently in issue, at a price to be determined by the Board of Directors. This authorisation shall remain valid for a period of 3 years from the date of its adoption.

APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Bank's Memorandum and Articles of Association, two directors from the Board of Directors are to retire at the Annual General Meeting. Following publication of advertisements by the Bank in terms of its Articles of Association, no nominations for the election of directors were received. Since the two retiring directors have intimated their willingness to be reappointed, they shall therefore be reappointed.
