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 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."
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."
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

| meeting in 2011 and thereafter members to the board of directors are elected alternately."

Members may be re-elected. A majority of the members of the board of directors of the company shall be resident in the Faroe Islands according to the provisions of § 7a(3), litra 1) and 2) in Parliamentary Act No. 83 from 25 May 2009 with later amendments.
