Download Source FileThe annual general meeting of SimCorp A/S will be held on Thursday 21 March
2013 at 3 pm, in SimCorp A/S, Weidekampsgade 16, 2300 Copenhagen S, Denmark.
The agenda will be as follows:
6.A
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.
6.B
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.”
6.C
The Board of Directors’ proposal for an amended remuneration and incentive
policy for employees, members of the Board of Directors and the executive board
under section 139 of the Danish Companies Act is enclosed hereto.
6.D
It is proposed by the Board of Directors to fix the total cash remuneration
payable to the directors in 2013 and until next annual general meeting at DKK
1,600,000; remaining unchanged from 2012. It is also proposed by the Board of
Directors in 2013, unchanged from 2012, to allot SimCorp shares to the
directors at a total market value of further DKK 800,000. Further, the Board of
Directors proposes that the chairman of the audit committee of the company in
addition to his normal remuneration receives 50 % of the annual remuneration
equalling a cash remuneration of DKK 100,000 and shares at a total market value
of DKK 50,000. The number of SimCorp shares allotted will be based on a price
corresponding to the average price of the SimCorp share in a period of three
business days after publication of SimCorp's 2012 annual report. The number of
SimCorp shares as calculated will be transferred to the directors by one fourth
in each quarter, first at the end of June 2013 and last at the end of March
2014. The directors must keep the shares for at least one year provided,
however, that they remain members of the Board of Directors of SimCorp
throughout this period.
6.E
The Board of Directors asks the general meeting to authorise the Company, in
the period until the next annual general meeting, to purchase own shares of a
total nominal value of 10% of the Company's share capital, inclusive of the
Company’s current holding of own shares, see section 198 of the Danish
Companies Act. The consideration may not deviate by more than 10% from the bid
price quoted at NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen at the time of acquisition. The bid price
quoted at NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen means the closing price - all transactions at 5
p.m.
SPECIAL VOTING REQUIREMENTS
The adoption of the resolutions proposed under 6 A and B above, see article 14
of the Articles of Association, requires a majority of at least two thirds of
both the votes cast and the share capital represented at the general meeting,
and that at least half of the share capital is represented at the general
meeting. If half of the share capital is not represented at the general
meeting, but the resolution is passed by a majority of at least 2/3 of both the
votes cast and of the share capital represented at the general meeting, the
resolution may be passed at a new general meeting to be convened within 2 weeks
thereafter, by a majority of at least 2/3 of both the votes cast and of the
share capital represented at such new general meeting.
The adoption of the resolutions proposed under 6 C, D and E above requires a
simple majority, see article 14 of the Articles of Association and the Danish
Companies Act section 105.
