Notifications on shareholdings must be provided in the form of a custody account statement from VP Securities A/S or similar documentation for the shareholders to be registered in the register of shareholders and for the shares to be included in the calculation. The Company must receive such documentation before expiry of the record date.
Only persons registered as shareholders of the Company on the record date are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings. See, however, the information below on the deadline for shareholders to request admission cards.
Shareholders who have acquired shares through transfer or otherwise thus cannot exercise the voting rights of those shares at general meetings, unless the shareholders have been registered in the register of shareholders or have given notice of and documented their acquisition on or before the record date, which is Friday, 29 July 2016.
