Annual General Meeting of Per Aarsleff A/S

On 29 January 2016 at 15.00, the Annual General Meeting of Per Aarsleff A/S, CVR no. 24257797, was held at the company's office, Lokesvej 15, 8230 Aabyhoej.

The agenda was as follows:

    1. Report by the Board of Directors on the activities of the company.
    1. Presentation of the annual report and consolidated financial statements.
    1. Decision as to the appropriation of profit or payment of losses in accordance with the approved annual report.
    1. Decision to grant discharge to the Executive Management and Board of Directors.
    1. Discussion of proposals submitted by the Board of Directors and/or shareholders.

Proposals from the Board of Directors:

  • The Board of Directors recommends that a new remuneration policy for Board of Directors and Executive Management of Per Aarsleff A/S be approved. The proposal to change the remuneration policy concerns the remuneration of the Executive Management. In order to retain managerial expertise, it may be decided to introduce a retention agreement, loyalty agreement or similar agreements provided that the total value of the agreement does not exceed 125% of the manager's fixed salary in the year of disbursement. Such agreements shall be valid for a period of at least three years.
  • The Board of Directors recommends that the ordinary board remuneration per board member amounts to an unchanged amount of DKK 200,000 for the financial year 2015/2016 plus a multiple thereof for the deputy chairman and the chairman and ordinary members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the remuneration policy. The deputy chairman receives 1 times the ordinary board remuneration and the chairman receives 2 times the ordinary board remuneration. One ordinary board member receives 40% of the ordinary remuneration.
  • The Board of Directors proposes to split each B share of a nominal value of DKK 20 into ten shares each with a nominal value of DKK 2. Today, the B shares are multiples of DKK 10, i.e. (2 x DKK 10) DKK 20, but after the stock split, they will not be multiples. In the past couple of years, the price of a B share in Per Aarsleff A/S has increased to more than DKK 2,400 per share. The purpose of the proposed stock split is to enhance the liquidity of the share by making trading in the share easier and more accessible, particularly for private investors. The proposed stock split will also align the share price with international and Danish share price levels. The current share capital amounts to DKK 45,300,000 and is divided into DKK 2,700,000 A shares and 42,600,000 B shares. The DKK 42,600,000 B shares are divided on 2,130,000 shares (each with a nominal value of DKK 20). After the proposed stock split, the share capital will be unchanged, but the DKK 42,600,000 B shares will be divided on 21,300,000 shares (each with a nominal value of DKK 2).
    1. Election of members to the Board of Directors.
  • It is proposed that all current board members be re-elected.
  • For information about the competencies of the Board of Directors, including other managerial positions, refer to the sections in the annual report on Corporate Governance and Executive Management and Board of Directors.
    1. Election of auditor.
  • It is proposed that PWC, Statsautoriseret Revisionsaktieselskab, be re-elected.
