   from the date of the Annual General Meeting against payment of between DKK
   0 and up to 10% above the official selling price quoted from time to time
   on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S.

8. Proposal by the Board of Directors to amend the general guidelines for
   incentive-based remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Management
   Board and, at the same time, to merge the general guidelines for
   incentive-based remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Management
   Board and the Company’s remuneration policy. Under section 139 of the
   Danish Companies Act, general guidelines for incentive-based remuneration
   to a company’s board of directors and management board must be defined, and
   the guidelines must be considered and approved by the shareholders in
   general meeting before the board of directors may enter into new agreements
   on incentive-based remuneration with members of the management board. In
   addition, the Company has resolved to formulate a remuneration policy in
   accordance with the Danish corporate governance recommendations. It is
   proposed to merge the general guidelines for incentive-based remuneration
   to the Board of Directors and the Management Board and the Company’s
   remuneration policy into a single document entitled “General guidelines for
   remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Management Board”. The
   general guidelines for remuneration to the Board of Directors and the
   Management Board have been updated to reflect the Danish Companies Act, and
   a change has been made with respect to the Board of Directors’ right to
   determine the exercise price in connection with issuance of warrants to the
   employees to the effect that the price will be determined by the Board of
   Directors.

9. Approval of the Board of Directors’ proposal to amend the Articles of
   Association and authorisation to the chairman of the general meeting.

9.1 Authorisation of the Board of Directors under section 155(2) of the Danish Companies Act to issue up to 30,000,000 warrants to employees of the Group, including the Management Board, each warrant entitling the holder to subscribe for one share of DKK 0.25 each and authorisation to approve a resolution in respect of the related capital increase without pre-emptive rights to existing shareholders of up to a nominal value of DKK 7,500,000. The Board of Directors is authorised to reuse or reissue any lapsed and unexercised warrants. The authorisation will be valid up to and including 25 April 2017. The specific terms and conditions applying to the grant and the exercise of warrants will be determined by the Board of Directors.

9.2
Authority to the chairman of the general meeting:

Authorisation of the chairman of the general meeting to make relevant changes
to the numbering of the provisions of the Articles of Association as a
consequence of such amendments to the Articles of Association as may be
approved at the Annual General Meeting, as well as changes to references to
legislation and terminological changes as a consequence of changes in company
law or in the names of public authorities. Furthermore, the chairman of the
general meeting is authorised to make such changes in and supplements to the
resolutions approved at the general meeting and the notification to the Danish
Business Authority as may be required by the Danish Business Authority in order
to register the amendments adopted.
