Complete proposals

Re item a on the agenda

As further accounted for in company announcement [2/2020], the Board of Directors proposes to adjust the Company's share capital through a reverse share split at a consolidation ratio of 1,000:1. Through the reverse share split, every 1,000 existing shares (of nominally DKK 3.50) will be consolidated into one (1) share, whereas any remaining shares will be redeemed as described below.

The proposal to adjust the Company's share capital include the following two decisions regarding (a) Reduction of the Company's share capital by transfer to distributable reserves; and (b) Revaluation of the nominal denomination of the Company's shares by consolidation of shares by a ratio of 1,000:1.

Re item a.1 on the agenda

The Board of Directors proposes that the Company's nominal share capital is reduced from DKK 43,218,208.25 to DKK 4,321,820.825 by transfer to special reserves, cf. section 188 (1)(iii) of the Danish Companies Act. The reduction is effected at a price (in Danish: kurs) of DKK 0.01, thus the majority of the reduction is transferred to retained earnings (distributable reserves). No distribution will be made to the Company's shareholders in connection with the capital reduction under this item on the agenda.

The reduction of the share capital will be completed through a diminution of the denomination of the Company's shares, so that the nominal denomination of the shares will be reduced from DKK 1.75 and DKK 3.50 to DKK 0.175 and DKK 0.35, respectively. The reduction under this item a.1. does not on its own result in any changes to the quantity of shares issued by the Company.

If the proposal is adopted, an announcement will be made through the IT system of the Danish Business Authority for creditors to report their claims. Consequently, the capital reduction cannot be completed until the expiration of the statutory four week notification period. The capital reduction will only be completed if the proposal under agenda item a.2. is similarly adopted and completed.

Re item a.2 on the agenda

In continuation of the proposal under item a.1., the Board of Directors proposes that the Company's shares be consolidated as follows (consolidation will take place for each individual share deposit account):

  • For every 1,000 shares under ISIN code DK0010006329 (i.e. shares with a current nominal value of DKK 3.50) one (1) share will be granted (with a nominal value of DKK 350).

  • For every 2,000 shares (i.e. shares with a current nominal value of DKK 1.75) one (1) share will be granted (with a nominal value of DKK 350).

Excess shares (i.e. any remaining shares that cannot be consolidated into a whole number of shares) will be redeemed in cash by the Company for a price of DKK 1.76 per share of nominally DKK 3.50 and DKK 0.88 per share of nominally DKK 1.75. The redemption price is determined as the volume weighted average price of the Company's shares over the last 5 trading days during the period 3-7 February 2020. The cash payment will be paid out to the accounts associated with the share deposit account.

Consolidation and redemption will be completed following expiry of a redemption period of four weeks after the general meeting. During the redemption period, shareholders will have the opportunity to buy or sell existing shares of nominally DKK 3.50 and DKK 1.75 for the purpose of owning enough shares to match the above-mentioned conversion ratios. Consolidation and redemption is furthermore conditional upon the completion of the share capital reduction under agenda item a.1. The shares redeemed will be kept as part of the Company's treasury shareholdings. These shares are expected to be cancelled at a subsequent general meeting.

The shares issued, as a result of the consolidation, will be issued under a new permanent ISIN code at VP SECURITIES A/S, and admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S. The expected redemption and issue dates as well as the dates for trading and official listing under the new permanent ISIN code will be announced prior to the redemption.

Approval of the above-mentioned proposals a.1 and a.2 will result in consequential amendment of article 3.1 (concerning the size of the share capital) as well as articles 4.1 and 7.6 (concerning the denomination of the Company's shares) of the Articles of Association. These articles will consequently be worded as follows:

  • "3.1 The Company's share capital amounts to DKK 4,321,820.825"
  • "4.1 The share capital is divided into shares in the denomination of DKK 0.175 or multiples thereof.
  • "7.1 Each share amount of DKK 0.35 confers one vote upon the holder; each share amount of DKK 0.175 confers half a vote upon the holder."

Re item b on the agenda

The Board of Directors proposes that the existing authorisations under article 3.3. in the Articles of Association be deleted.

Re item c on the agenda

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the chairman of the general meeting (with power of delegation) to file the approved matters on the agenda to the Danish

Business Authority and to make such alterations and amendments therein, as the Danish Business Authority may demand as condition for registration and approval.

The remaining proposal may be adopted by a simple majority of votes.
