The proposal is based on the recommendation from the audit committee. The audit committee’s proposal has not been influenced by third parties and is not subject to contractual obligations restricting the general meeting’s choice of certain auditors or audit firms.
Item 9.A – Increase and extension of the authorization to issue new shares without pre-emption rights (article 4.1.B of the articles of association)
The board of directors proposes that the current authorization under article 4.1.B to issue new shares without pre-emption rights for the Company's existing shareholders is increased from DKK 29,540,722.40 to DKK 50,000,000 and that the new authorization is given a standard one-year extension until 31 August 2026.
Consequently, it is proposed that article 4.1.B will have the following complete wording:
"4.1.B. Until 31 August 2026, the board of directors is authorised to increase the company's share capital at one or more times by up to a nominal amount of 50,000,000 shares of DKK 0.1 each. The increase may be implemented by way of full cash contribution, by conversion of debt and/or by contribution of other assets than cash, including by way of contribution of an existing business. The capital must be increased without pre-emption rights for existing shareholders and at least at market price. The new shares must be negotiable instruments. The new shares are not subject to restrictions on transferability or pre-emption rights in connection with future capital increases unless otherwise stated in these articles of association or determined by the general meeting. The new shares must be registered in the name of the holder in the company's register of shareholders; see article 3.2 of these articles of association. The right to dividends and other rights in the company of the new shares will take effect from the date determined by the board of directors at subscription, but no later than from the first financial year after the year in which the capital increase was registered."
Item 9.B – Extension of the authorization to issue warrants (article 4.2 of the articles of association)
The board of directors proposes that the authorization to issue warrants pursuant to article 4.2 of the articles of association is given a standard one-year extension. Currently, the board of directors' authorization lapses on 31 August 2025.
Consequently, it is proposed that article 4.2 will have the following complete wording:
"4.2. Until 31 August 2026, the board of directors is authorised to allow the company to issue warrants at one or more times. The warrants must not grant the right to subscribe for shares in the company of a nominal value exceeding DKK 5,000,000. The warrants must be issued without pre-emption rights for existing shareholders and on an arm's length basis; however, the board of directors is entitled to issue shares in the company at a favourable price with respect to shares of a nominal value of DKK 500,000. At the same time, the board of directors is authorised to implement capital increases in the company at one or more times in connection with any future exercise of the above warrants. The capital must be increased without pre-emption rights for the company's existing shareholders. The new shares must be negotiable instruments and will be registered in the name of the holder in the company's register of shareholders; see article 3.2 of these articles of association. The board of directors determines the subscription price in connection with the issue of the warrants. The subscription price must never fall below the market price at the date of issue; however, the board of directors is entitled to issue shares in the company at a favourable price with respect to shares of a nominal value of DKK 500,000. The new shares must be fully paid up. The right to dividends and other rights in the company of the new shares will take effect from the date determined by the board of directors, but no later than from the first financial year after the year in which the capital increase was registered."
Item 9.C – Proposal to approve an updated remuneration policy
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves an updated remuneration policy, in order to include an option to grant variable remuneration to the board of directors,
The proposed updated Remuneration Policy is attached hereto.
Item 10 – Authorization to the chair of the general meeting
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the chair of the general meeting, with a right of substitution, to file the resolutions adopted with the Danish Business Authority and to make any such amendments as the Danish Business Authority may require in order to register or approve the resolutions adopted.
