shares granted by the Annual General Meeting on 10 March 2016. The authority is
valid until 10 March 2021 and covers a maximum of 19.0 million shares, 2.2
million of which have been exercised before the launch of this share buyback
programme.
Purpose
The purpose of the share buyback is to adjust the capital structure and meet
obligations relating to the Group’s share-based incentive programmes. At the
Annual General Meeting of DSV, a resolution will be proposed that any shares
not used for hedging of the incentive programmes be cancelled.

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, also referred to as the Safe Harbour
rules.

Banken AB Sweden as its financial adviser and lead manager for the share
buyback.
-- Under the share buyback programme, DSV may repurchase shares up to a
