DFDS — Share Issue/Capital Change 2018

May 14, 2018

SUMMARY OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING, 14 MAY 2018

Today, an extraordinary general meeting was held which authorised the Board of Directors to approve of a share capital increase for the purpose of aligning DFDS' capital structure to the targeted range and maintain financial flexibility following the agreement to acquire 98.8% of U.N. Ro-Ro, Turkey's largest operator of freight ferry routes connecting Europe and Turkey.

The extraordinary general meeting approved two proposals:

1. An increase of DFDS A/S' (Company) share capital without pre-emption rights for the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors was authorised up and until 30 June 2019 to increase the Company's share capital with up to nominally DKK 100,000,000 at market price by issuing new shares.

The following authorization was approved for insertion as a new item 3.7 in the Company's Articles of Association: "Up and until 30 June 2019 the Board of Directors is authorised to one or more times to increase the Company's share capital by up to nominally DKK 100,000,000 at at least market price by issuing new shares without pre-emption rights of the shareholders of the Company. There will be no possibility of making partial payments. The new shares will be negotiable instruments and registered in the holder's name. Moreover, the shares will in all aspects be equal to already existing shares also as regards redemption and restrictions in transferability."

1. The chair of the extraordinary general meeting was authorised with the right of substitution to register the approved proposal in the IT-system of the Danish Business Authority and to make the corresponding changes required or recommended by the Danish Business Authority or other authorities with a view to registering or approving the proposals approved.

No other material matters were raised at the meeting.
