Download Source FileThe extraordinary general meeting of SimCorp A/S was held on Wednesday 17 April
2013.
The shareholders passed with the requisite majority and quorum all below
resolutions as proposed by the Board of Directors, and the company’s Articles
of Association have been amended accordingly.
Re 1
Proposals from the Board of Directors. At the annual general meeting held on 21
March 2013, the proposals were voted in favour for by a majority of more than
two thirds of both the votes cast and the votes represented at the general
meeting. Since, however, less than half of the voting share capital was
represented at the general meeting the proposals were not adopted, and the
Board of Directors therefore makes the proposals at the extraordinary general
meeting.
Re 1A
The Board of Directors proposes to reduce the share capital of the Company by
nominally DKK 1,500,000 from nominally DKK 45,000,000 to nominally DKK
43,500,000, equivalent to a reduction of the share capital by 1,500,000 shares
of DKK 1 each by cancellation of own shares. The reduction of the share capital
is executed in pursuance of Section 188 (1)(2) of the Danish Companies Act,
after which the reduction is effected by reduction of own shares which means
that the purpose of the reduction is payment to the shareholders. The own
shares in question were purchased by the Company in the period from 10 June
2011 until 16 March 2012 for a total purchase price of DKK 144,325,677.24. The
purchase price is entered at DKK 0 in the accounts of the Company since the
amount has been written off the equity capital. In consequence hereof, it is
proposed to amend Article 3, first sentence, of the Articles of Association as
follows:
"The share capital of the company is DKK 43,500,000, say forty-three million
five hundred thousand 00/100, divided into shares of DKK 1 each or any
multiples thereof."
After the reduction there will be full coverage for the share capital and the
deposits and capital reserves that are restricted pursuant to the law and the
Articles of Association of the Company.
Before the reduction of the share capital is executed, the Company's creditors
will be convened via the electronic information system of the Danish Business
Authority in pursuance of section 192 of the Danish Companies Act. 4 weeks
after the expiry of the notification period of section 192 of the Danish
Companies Act the reduction of the share capital shall be finally executed and
the following amendment of the Articles of Association if so will be deemed
registered.
Re 1B
It is proposed by the Board of Directors to grant authorisation to the Board of
Directors to increase the share capital without pre-emption rights for existing
shareholders at market price and with expiry on 1 March 2018.
Accordingly, it is proposed to amend article 4 of the Articles of Association
to the following:
“Article 4
The share capital may be increased in one or more issues of new shares by a
total nominal amount of up to DKK 5,000,000 (5,000,000 shares of DKK 1) without
pre-emption rights to the Company's existing shareholders and as directed by
the Board of Directors with respect to time and terms. The capital increase may
be effected in cash or as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of an
existing operation or specific assets, in all cases at market price. This
authority shall be valid for a period of five years, expiring on 1 March 2018,
and may be extended by the shareholders at the annual general meeting for one
or more periods of up to five years at a time.
The new shares shall be issued to bearer but may be registered in the name of
the holder in the Company’s Register of Shareholders. The new shares shall be
negotiable instruments, and no restrictions shall apply to the transferability
of the shares. No shares confer any special rights upon their holder and no
shareholders shall be under an obligation to have his shares redeemed in full
or in part by the Company or any other party.”
