12. Proposals for Amendments to the
Articles of Association
Decision
12.1
At the ordinary general meeting of
the Company on 3 April 2020, the
board was authorized to increase
the share capital of the company by
a nominal amount of DKK 5,914,300.
This authorization expires on the
annual general meeting in 2025.
The board proposes that the
authorization to increase the share
capital is renewed. It is proposed
that the maximum limit shall be 10
% of the Company's share capital. To
allow flexibility for the board, it is
proposed, that the board shall be
authorized to set aside the pre-
emptive right of the existing
shareholders to subscribe the new
share capital in relation to capital
increases based on this provision.
The purpose of the proposal is to
simplity the procedure in relation to
capital increases for the financing
of further growth and in order to
provide the possibility to offer
shares as payment in relation to
purchases, where this is deemed to
be favourable to the Company.
Furthermore, the purpose is to have
the possibility to strengthen the
Company's funding.
The board of directors proposes
that § 4A of the Company's Articles
of Association is amended as
follows:
"The board of directors of the company is
authorized to increase the share capital of the
company in one or several rounds with up to a
nominal amount of DKK 5.930.462. The new
shares shall be registered by name and comply
with the rules in § 4 of the articles of association.
The board of directors are authorized to set aside
the pre-emptive right of the existing
shareholders to subscribe the new share capital.
The new shares shall have a nominal value of
DKK 1. New shares may be subscribed against
Re. 12.1
The chairman of the meeting presented
the Board of Directors' proposal in
respect of amending § 4A of the
company's Articles of Association.
Subsequently, the general meeting passed
to amend and § 4A of the company's
Articles of Association as proposed.
Accordingly, the general meeting passed
that § 4A of the company's Articles of
Association will be as follows:
"The board of directors of the company is authorized to
increase the share capital of the company in one or
several rounds with up to a nominal amount of DKK
5.930.462. The new shares shall be registered by name
and comply with the rules in § 4 of the articles of
association. The board of directors are authorized to set
aside the pre-emptive right of the existing shareholders
to subscribe the new share capital. The new shares shall
have a nominal value of DKK 1. New shares may be
subscribed against cash payment or by way of debt
conversion. The authorization of the board of directors to
increase the share capital is in force until the ordinary
general meeting of the company in 2030."

cash payment or by way of debt conversion. The authorization of the board of directors to increase the share capital is in force until the ordinary general meeting of the company in 2030."

12.2

According to § 4B of the company's Articles of Association the board is authorized to buy own shares on behalf of the company. According to the Articles of Association this authorization expired on the Annual General meeting of 2025. The board proposes to renew this authorization, which shall be in force until the Annual General Meeting in 2026. According to the current Articles of Association the authorization is limited so that the board may not buy own shares exceeding 10% of the entire share capital of the company.

Consequently, the board propose that

§ 4B of the company's Articles of Association is amended as follows:

"In the period from 30 April 2025 until the ordinary general meeting of the company, which will be held in 2026, the board of directors is authorized to buy own shares on behalf of the company. Purchasing of own shares shall be conducted to the official rate of the shares, but the board of directors may in special circumstances deviate from the official price with up to 10%. The company may not own more than 10% of the entire share capital of the company."

12.3

According to § 10 subsection 1 of the company's Articles of Association all board members are elected for terms of 1 year. To fully reflect this, the board of directors propose to delete § 10 subsection 3:

"At the ordinary general meeting held in 2011, half of the members of the board of directors are up for election. The election committee decides which members are up for election at the general
