Company Announcement no. 04/2011 4 March 2011
The annual general meeting of SimCorp A/S will be held on Monday, 28 March 2011 at 3 p.m. at "Den Sorte Diamant", The Royal Danish Library, Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1, DK-1221 Copenhagen K.
The agenda will be as follows:
"The objects for which the Company is established are to develop, market, sell, implement and deploy software and related services to companies, institutions and administrative bodies whose activities are within or related to the management of securities and/or other assets. The Company's objects may be carried out directly or through shareholdings in other companies."
B. The Board of Directors proposes a general update of the company's articles of association encompassing the following amendments:
Notice of annual general meeting in SimCorp A/S
a. As it is no longer a requirement to include the name of the company in brackets after the company's secondary names, any references to "(SimCorp A/S)" in article 1, second paragraph are deleted.
b. In article 8 (to become article 7) "(VP Services A/S)" is deleted and immediately following "VP Investor Services A/S," "(CVR-nr. 30201183)" is inserted.
c. As the shares of SimCorp are dematerialised shares, article 9 is deleted.
d. To the headline of the paragraph "GENERAL MEETING" is added "AND VOTING RIGHTS".
e. As it is no longer a requirement for SimCorp to give notices of general meetings in the information system of the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency, the Board proposes to replace the third and fourth paragraph of article 10 (to become article 8) by the following:
"General meetings shall be convened by the Board of Directors, giving no less than three weeks' and no more than five weeks' notice at the Company's website and in writing to all shareholders registered in the register of shareholders upon request."
f. The Board of Directors wish to clarify that shareholders also may obtain admission cards at the company's website and accordingly, article 11 (to become article 9), first sentence is proposed replaced by the following: "All shareholders shall be entitled to attend and to vote at the General Meeting provided that they have requested an admission card at the Company's website or from the Company's office not later than three days before the date of the General Meeting." Further, second last sentence in the first paragraph "In addition, in order to obtain an admission card the shareholder shall issue a written statement that the shares have not been and will not be transferred to any third party prior to the date of the General Meeting." shall be deleted.
g. Immediately following article 11 (to become article 9) a new article 10 is inserted covering the voting rights of the shareholders. The new article consists of the wording of the previous article 15 and the second paragraph of article 11. Article 10 hereafter reads:
"Each share of DKK 1 shall carry one vote at general meetings. Shareholders who have acquired shares by transfer can only vote such shares, if the shares no later than 1 week prior to the General Meeting have been registered in the Register of Shareholders, or the shareholders no later than 1 week prior to the General Meeting have notified the Company of and documented their acquisition before the General Meeting is convened.
Voting rights may be exercised under an instrument of proxy issued to a person, who need not be a shareholder of the Company. Instruments of proxy shall be deemed to be in force until revoked by notification in writing to the Company, unless such instruments contain a provision to the contrary. Instruments of proxy in favour of the Board of Directors of the Company cannot, however, be issued for a period of more than 12 months and must be issued for a specific general meeting with an agenda known in advance of the issuance of the instrument of proxy."
Consequently, article 15 is deleted.
h. In article 13 (to become article 12), last sentence "the Board of Directors' receipt of" is deleted.
i. In article 14 (to become article 13), fourth paragraph "office" shall be replaced by "website".
Notice of annual general meeting in SimCorp A/S
j. In article 16 (to become article 14), second paragraph, any reference to "voting" shall be deleted.
C. The Board of Directors proposes that the numbering of the articles of association is updated to create a continuous number of articles.
Please find an updated draft set of articles of association at the company's website.
The adoption of the resolutions proposed under items 6 A, B and C above, see Article 16 of the Articles of Association, requires a majority of at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the votes represented at the general meeting, and that at least half of the voting share capital is represented at the general meeting. If half of the share capital is not represented at the general meeting, but the resolution is passed by a majority of at least 2/3 of both the votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at the general meeting, the resolution may be passed at a new general meeting to be convened within 2 weeks thereafter, by a majority of at least 2/3 of both the votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at such new general meeting.
The Company's share capital is DKK 46,000,000 divided into shares of DKK 1 each and multiples thereof. Each share of DKK 1 nominal value entitles the holder to one vote.
A shareholder's right to participate in the general meeting and the number of votes, which the shareholder is entitled to cast, is determined in accordance with the number of shares held by such shareholder on the registration date. The registration date is 21 March 2011, and only persons who are shareholders on this date are entitled to vote and participate in the general meeting.
