Two of the five members in the Supervisory Board elected at the General Meeting are considered not independent as defined in Corporate Governance from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S. Jens Hansen,
who is employed in the Group, is one of the Company's original founders and at the same time a major shareholder with a share capital of more than 5% of the Company's shares.
To meet the recommendations for Corporate Governance from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S regarding independence, a member of the Supervisory Board should not within the past 5 years have been a member of the company's Executive Board. Jesper Mailind has in the period June 2009 to January 2013 been CEO of RTX A/S, and therefore he is not considered an independent member of the Supervisory Board.
Regarding article 6a) in the agenda
Authorization to the Supervisory Board to grant permission to the Company to buy treasury shares.
The Supervisory Board proposes that the Company is granted permission to acquire treasury shares until the next Annual General Meeting in January 2016, as the Company's holding of treasury shares must not at any time exceed 10% of the Company's share capital. Remuneration for the shares must not deviate by more than 10% of the share rate listed at NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S at the time of the acquisition.
Under the assumption that the authorization is adopted, the Supervisory Board has decided to initiate a buyback of own shares of up to DKK 12 million. As a consequence of the liquidity of the Company's shares, the actual number of shares will depend on the market conditions at the time of the acquisition.
The buyback of own shares will be carried out taking into account RTX's internal rules for trading in its own shares. The share buy-back programme is structured in compliance with the EU Commission Regulation No. 2273/2003 of 22 December 2003, the so-called Safe Harbour Regulative for share buyback programmes, which ensures that RTX is protected against violation of insider legislation in relation to the share buy-back programme.
