10 Møderet - Stemmeret   Right of Attendance - Voting Right

10.2 Registreringsdatoen ligger en uge før generalforsamlingens afholdelse. De aktier, den enkelte aktionær besidder, opgøres på registreringsdatoen på grundlag af noteringen af aktionærens ejerforhold i ejerbogen samt meddelelser om ejerforhold, som Selskabet har modtaget med henblik på indførsel i ejerbogen.   The registration date is one week before the general meeting is held. The shares which the individual shareholder owns are calculated on the registration date on the basis of the registration of ownership in the Company’s Register of Shareholders as well as notifications concerning ownership which the Company has received with a view to update the ownership in the Register of Shareholders.

10.3 Enhver aktionær som senest tre dage inden generalforsamlingens afholdelse har meddelt Selskabet sin deltagelse, og som har modtaget et adgangskort, er berettiget til personligt eller ved fuldmagt at deltage i generalforsamlingen.

Admission card will be issued to the holder registered in the Company’s Register of Shareholders.
       
10.4 På generalforsamlingen giver hvert aktiebeløb på DKK 1 én stemme.

10.5 Stemmeret kan udøves i henhold til skriftlig fuldmagt eller ved brevstemme, og Selskabet skal senest tre uger før generalforsamlingen gøre formularer til brug herfor tilgængelige på Selskabets hjemmeside.

11 Elektronisk generalforsamling   Electronic general meetings
     
11.1 Bestyrelsen kan, når den anser det for hensigtsmæssigt og generalforsamlingen kan afvikles på betryggende vis, bestemme at generalforsamlingen udelukkende skal foregå elektronisk (fuldstændig elektronisk generalforsamling). Bestyrelsen kan herudover under samme forudsætninger vælge at tilbyde aktionærerne at deltage elektronisk på generalforsamlinger, der i øvrigt gennemføres ved fysisk fremmøde (delvis elektronisk generalforsamling). Aktionærerne kan derved elektronisk deltage i, ytre sig samt stemme på generalforsamlingen. Nærmere oplysninger vil til sin tid kunne findes på Selskabets hjemmeside og i indkaldelsen til de pågældende generalforsamlinger, ligesom de i Selskabets ejerbog noterede aktionærer vil modtage skriftlig meddelelse herom.   When the board of directors finds it appropriate and technically safe it may decide that the general meeting solely shall be held as an electronic general meeting (completely electronic general meeting). The board of directors may also as an alternative under the same circumstances invite shareholders to attend by electronic means general meetings that are also attended by shareholders in person (partially electronic general meeting). In this way, shareholders will be able to attend, express their opinion and vote at the general meeting by electronic means. In due course more information will be made available on the Company’s website and in the notices convening the general meetings involved, and written information on the subject will also be sent to shareholders listed in the Company’s Register of Shareholders.

5 Praktisk udnyttelse af Warrants   5 Practicalities in connection with Exercise of the Warrants
       
5.1 Såfremt Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte en Warrant, skal Warrantindehaveren underrette Selskabet skriftligt herom - ved hjælp af den tegningsblanket, som Selskabet har tilsendt Warrantindehaveren (“Udnyttelsesmeddelelse”). Udnyttelsesmeddelelsen betragtes som afgivet af Warrantindehaveren på tidspunktet for dets aflevering på Selskabets adresse (Att. bestyrelsesformanden) med almindelig post, anbefalet post, med fax eller pr. bud efter begyndelsen og før udløbet af den relevante afleveringsfrist. Udnyttelsesmeddelelsen skal være behørigt udfyldt. Selskabet har ret til at ændre i de praktiske forhold omkring udnyttelse af Warrants, og Warrantindehaveren vil blive underrettet skriftligt, hvis Selskabet beslutter dette.   In the event that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise a Warrant, the Warrant Holder shall - using the subscription form forwarded by the Company to the Warrant Holder - give written notice (“Exercise Notice”) to the Company. The Exercise Notice will be deemed given by the Warrant Holder if the Exercise Notice was delivered to the Company’s address (for the attention of the chairman of the Board of Directors) by regular mail, registered mail, fax or courier after commencement and before the expiry of the relevant notice period. The Exercise Notice shall be duly completed. The Company is entitled to change the practicalities in connection with the exercise of the Warrants, and if so decided by the Company, the Warrant Holder will be notified in writing by the Company.

5.2 Samtidig med at give meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants skal Warrantindehaveren indbetale et kontantbeløb til Selskabet svarende til det relevante tegningsbeløb fastsat i henhold til punkt 6.   At the same time as giving notice of the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Holder shall pay in cash to the Company an amount equal to the relevant subscription amount fixed under the terms of Clause 6.
       
6 Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6 Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
       
6.1 Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 77,00 (“Tegningskursen”).   Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 77.00 (the “Subscription Price”).
       
6.2 Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Aftalen.   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in this Agreement.
       
7 Regulering af vilkår for Warrants ved visse definerede ændringer i Selskabets kapitalforhold   7 Adjustment of the Conditions for Warrants in case of certain defined Changes in the Company’s Capital Structure
       
7.1 Såfremt der gennemføres visse definerede ændringer i Selskabets kapitalforhold, som indebærer en reduktion eller en forøgelse af værdien af de tildelte Warrants, skal der foretages en regulering af Tegningskursen og/eller antallet af aktier, som kan tegnes ved udnyttelse af Warrants, således at værdien af Warrants forbliver uændret med de undtagelser, der er gældende i henhold til Aftalen. Tegningskursen kan dog ikke fastsættes til under nominel værdi. Herudover er det en betingelse for reguleringen af antallet af aktier, som kan tegnes ved udnyttelse af Warrants, at Selskabets bestyrelse har fået tildelt den nødvendige bemyndigelse af generalforsamlingen til at udstede et sådant yderligere antal aktier i Selskabet.   In case that certain defined changes are made in the Company’s capital structure which entail a reduction or increase of the value of the Warrants granted, there shall be an adjustment of the Subscription Price and/or the number of shares that can be subscribed for by exercising the Warrants, so that the value of the Warrants remains the same, with the exceptions set forth in this Agreement. However, the Subscription Price can never be adjusted to below par value.

 

11

 

 

      Further, it is a condition for any adjustment of the number of shares that can be subscribed for by exercising the Warrants that the Board of Directors of the Company has been granted the necessary authority by the general meeting to issue such additional number of shares in the Company.
       
7.2 Såfremt Selskabets kompetente instanser træffer endelig beslutning om at udstede fondsaktier (f.eks. udbytte i form af fondsaktier), inden Warrantindehaveren har udnyttet sine Warrants, skal Tegningskursen multipliceres med følgende faktor:   Should the competent bodies of the Company make a final decision to issue bonus shares (e.g. stock dividend) before the Warrant Holder has exercised his or her Warrants, the Subscription Price shall be multiplied by the following factor:
           
   

og antallet af aktier med
hvor:

     and the number of shares by
where:
       
  A: er Selskabets nominelle aktiekapital før udstedelse af fondsaktier,   A: is the Company’s nominal share capital before the issue of bonus shares;
       
  B: er den nominelle værdi af de fondsaktier, der udstedes.   B: is the nominal value of the bonus shares to be issued.
       
7.3 Såfremt Selskabets kompetente instanser træffer endelig beslutning om at forhøje Selskabets aktiekapital ved tegning af nye aktier til en kurs, der er lavere end markedskursen, inden Warrantindehaveren har udnyttes sine Warrants, skal Tegningskursen multipliceres med følgende faktor:   Should the competent bodies of the Company make a final decision to increase the Company’s share capital by subscription of new shares at a price below market price before the Warrant Holder has exercised his or her Warrants, the Subscription Price shall be multiplied by the following factor:

 

12

 

 

           
    og antallet af aktier med
hvor:		     and the number of shares by
where:
       
  A: er Selskabets nominelle aktiekapital forud for kapitalforhøjelsen,   A: is the Company’s nominal share capital before the capital increase;
  B: er den nominelle forhøjelse af aktiekapitalen,   B: is the nominal increase of the share capital;
  k: er aktiernes markedskurs forud for kapitalforhøjelsen   k: is the market price of the shares before the capital increase;
  t: er Tegningskursen på de nye aktier.   t: is the Subscription Price for the new shares.
       
7.4 Såfremt Selskabets kompetente instanser træffer endelig beslutning om at ændre aktiernes nominelle værdi i forbindelse med en beslutning, hvorved Selskabets aktiekapital nedsættes ved hensættelse til en særlig fond og/eller til dækning af underskud, inden Warrantindehaveren har udnyttet sine Warrants, skal der hverken ske ændringer i Tegningskursen eller antallet af aktier. Warrantindehaveren beholder således sin ret til at tegne det samme antal aktier til Tegningskursen. Hver Warrant skal dog berettige Warrantindehaveren til at tegne 1 aktie med den nye nominelle værdi, der er blevet besluttet af Selskabets kompetente instanser.   Should the competent bodies of the Company make a final decision to change the nominal value of the shares in connection with a decision whereby the share capital of the Company is reduced by allocation to a separate fund and/or cover of loss, before the Warrant Holder has exercised his or her Warrants, neither the Subscription Price nor the number of shares shall be amended. Consequently the Warrant Holder shall retain the right to subscribe for the same number of shares at the Subscription Price. However, each Warrant shall entitle the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share of the new nominal value so decided by the competent bodies of the Company.
       
7.5 Såfremt Selskabets kompetente instanser træffer endelig beslutning om at ændre aktiernes nominelle værdi (uden samtidige ændringer i Selskabets aktiekapital), f.eks. i situationer, der ikke er omfattet af punkt 7.4, inden Warrantindehaveren har udnyttes sine Warrants, skal Tegningskursen multipliceres med følgende faktor:   Should the competent bodies of the Company make a final decision to change the nominal value of the shares (without any other simultaneous changes of the capital of the Company), e.g. in situations not comprised by Clause 7.4, before the Warrant Holder has exercised his or her Warrants, the Subscription Price shall be multiplied by the following factor:

 

13

 

 

         
    og antallet af aktier med
hvor:		     and the number of shares by
where:
       
  A: er den nominelle værdi af hver enkel aktie efter ændring af aktiernes nominelle værdi,   A: is the nominal value of each share after the nominal value of the shares has been changed;
       
  B: er den nominelle værdi af hver enkel aktie før ændring af aktiernes nominelle værdi.   B: is the nominal value of each share before the nominal value of the shares has been changed.
       
7.6 Såfremt Selskabet i et hvilket som helst år beslutter at udbetale dividende, skal det pågældende beløb betragtes som udbetaling til aktionærerne, hvilket vil indebære en regulering af Tegningskursen som følger:   Should the Company within any year decide to distribute dividends, the amount shall be considered a distribution to the shareholders which shall result in an adjustment of the Subscription Price according to the following formula:
       
 

 

TK1 = TK -

hvor:

     TK1 = TK -
where:
       
  TK: er Tegningskursen for Warrants forud for udbetaling af dividende,   TK: is the Subscription Price for the Warrants before the distribution of dividends;
  u: er det totale dividendebeløb,   u: is the total amount of dividends;
  D: det totale antal aktier i Selskabet.   D: is the total number of shares in the Company.

 

14

 

 

7.7 Såfremt Selskabets aktiekapital nedsættes ved udbetaling til aktionærerne til en højere kurs end markedskursen, skal Tegningskursen beregnes som følger:   If the share capital of the Company is reduced by means of payment to the shareholders at a price higher than the market price, the Subscription Price shall be calculated as follows:
     
 

TK1 = TK -

hvor:

  

TK1 = TK -

where:

     
  TK:   er Tegningskursen for Warrants forud for nedsættelse af aktiekapitalen,   TK: is the Subscription Price for Warrants before the reduction of the share capital;
  A: er Selskabets nominelle aktiekapital forud for nedsættelsen af aktiekapitalen,   A: is the nominal share capital of the Company before the reduction of the share capital;
  B: er den nominelle nedsættelse af aktiekapitalen,   B: is the nominal reduction of the share capital;

7.8 Såfremt Selskabets aktiekapital nedsættes ved udbetaling til aktionærerne til en lavere kurs end markedskursen, skal Tegningskursen beregnes således:   If the share capital of the Company is reduced by payment to the shareholders at a price lower than the market price, the Subscription Price shall be calculated as follows:
     
 

TK1 = TK +

7.9 Såfremt Selskabet fusionerer som det fortsættende selskab, foretages ingen regulering af Tegningskursen eller af antallet af aktier, der kan tegnes.   If the Company participates in a merger as the continuing company, there shall be no adjustment of the Subscription Price or the number of shares that may be subscribed for.
     
7.10 Såfremt generalforsamlingen træffer beslutning om at spalte Selskabet, skal Warrantindehaveren efter spaltningen have et antal Warrants med ret til at tegne aktier i det fortsættende selskab, som Warrantindehaveren er eller ville have været ansat i, eller, hvis Warrantindehaveren ikke er eller har været ansat i Selskabet, i det selskab, som Warrantindehaveren er nærmest knyttet til. Antallet af Warrants skal give Warrantindehaveren adgang til potentielt samme ejerandel, som en udnyttelse af alle Warrants forud for spaltningen ville have givet, justeret med forholdet mellem værdien af de forskellige fortsættende selskaber. Herudover skal vilkårene for de fortsættende Warrants være de samme som anført i denne Aftale.   In the event that the general meeting passes a resolution to demerge the Company, the Warrant Holder shall — after the demerger — have the number of Warrants that shall entitle him/her to subscribe for shares in the receiving company by which the Warrant Holder is or would have been employed or, in the event that the Warrant Holder is not or has not been employed by the Company, the company with which the Warrant Holder has the closest relation. The number of Warrants shall entitle the Warrant Holder to the same potential stake that an exercise of all Warrants prior to the demerger would have resulted in, adjusted by the ratio between the values of the different surviving companies. Moreover, the terms applying to the surviving Warrants shall be the same as the terms stipulated in this Agreement.

7.11 I andre tilfælde, hvor Selskabets kapitalforhold ændres, herunder ved udstedelse af warrants, konvertible gældsbreve eller lignende, således at værdien af de udstedte Warrants påvirkes, skal Tegningskursen for de tildelte Warrants så vidt muligt reguleres, således at værdien ikke forringes eller forøges, jf. dog punkt 7.14 forneden.   In other cases of changes in the capital structure of the Company, including issuance of warrants, convertible debt instruments or the like, resulting in a change of the value of the issued Warrants, the Subscription Price for the granted Warrants shall to the extent possible be adjusted, so that the value is not reduced or increased, subject, however, to Clause 7.14 below.
     
7.12 Tegningskursen kan ikke reduceres til en lavere værdi end aktiernes nominelle værdi (kurs pari). Såfremt en regulering af Warrants, de skal sikre disses værdi, medfører, at kursen skal reduceres til under kurs pari, bortfalder Warrants, medmindre Warrantindehaveren accepterer, at Tegningskursen forhøjes til kurs pari uden kompensation.   The Subscription Price shall not be reduced to a price lower than the nominal value of the shares (par). If an adjustment of the Warrants to preserve their value would result in the price being reduced to below par, the Warrants shall lapse, unless the Warrant Holder accepts that the Subscription Price is increased to par without compensation.
     
7.13 Såfremt aktiekapitalen nedsættes til dækning af underskud, skal antallet af aktier, som Warrantindehaveren kan tegne ved udnyttelse af Warrants, reduceres (nedrundet) i et forhold svarende til forholdet mellem den nominelle kapitalnedsættelse og Selskabets samlede nominelle aktiekapital før nedsættelsen.   If the share capital is reduced in order to cover losses, the number of shares that the Warrant Holder may subscribe for by exercising the Warrants shall be reduced (rounded down) proportionately to the nominal reduction of the capital, compared to the total nominal share capital of the Company before the reduction.
     

7.14 

 Ved følgende ændringer i Selskabets kapitalforhold skal der ikke foretages regulering af Tegningskursen eller antallet af aktier, som Warrantindehaveren kan tegne:

  

The following changes in the capital structure of the Company shall not result in any adjustment of the Subscription Price or the number of shares that the Warrant Holder may subscribe for: 

       
  (i)   Forhøjelse eller nedsættelse af Selskabets aktiekapital til markedskurs, herunder udstedelse af aktier i   (i) An increase or reduction of the Company’s capital at market price, including issue of shares according to Clause 7.1 in the Articles of Association of the

  (ii)  Udstedelse af aktier, optioner, warrants eller lignende til medarbejdere af Selskabet eller medarbejdere af et koncernforbundet selskab og/eller af disses helejede selskaber til enkelte eller flere medarbejdere, eventuelt til en favørkurs, herunder, men ikke begrænset til udstedelse af aktier i henhold til punkt 8.1 i Selskabets vedtægter vedrørende warrants.   (ii)  Issue of shares, options, warrants or the like to employees of the Company or to employees of a group-related company and/or their fully owned companies for some or more of the employees, possibly at a favourable price, including but not limited to the issue of shares according to Clause 8.1 in the Articles of Association of the Company concerning warrants.
     
  (iii)  Udstedelse af warrants, konvertible gældsbreve eller lignende til tredjemand på sædvanlige markedsvilkår som led i mezzaninfinansiering eller dertil svarende finansiering.   (iii)  Issue of warrants, convertible debt instruments or the like to third parties on usual market terms as part of mezzanine financing or similar financing.
     
7.15 Såfremt antallet af nye aktier, som kan tegnes ved udnyttelse af Warrants, forøges i overensstemmelse med dette punkt 7, skal Selskabets højeste aktiekapital forøges tilsvarende.   If the number of new shares that may be subscribed for by exercise of the Warrants is adjusted upwards in accordance with this Clause 7, the Company’s maximum share capital shall be increased similarly.
     
8 Omsættelighed   8 Transferability
     
8.1 De enkelte Warrants er ikke-omsættelige instrumenter. Enhver form for overdragelse, pantsætning eller anden afståelse af en Warrant kan kun finde sted, hvis der indhentes forudgående skriftligt samtykke fra Selskabets bestyrelse, og kan blive tilladt, nægtet eller gøres betinget efter bestyrelsens absolutte skøn (med undtagelse af overdragelse i tilfælde af   Each Warrant is a non-negotiable instrument. Any transfer, pledging or other assignment of a Warrant shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, which may be granted, denied or conditioned in the absolute discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (with the exception of a transfer due to the death of the Warrant Holder, in which case

14.3 Samtlige skattemæssige forpligtelser og konsekvenser for Warrantindehaverne som følge af Warrantaftalerne, de udstedte Warrants eller de erhvervede aktier gennem udnyttelse af disse Warrants er alene Warrantindehavernes ansvar og er Selskabet uvedkommende, herunder det forhold, at skattemyndighederne måtte finde, at betingelserne for, at ligningslovens § 7H er gældende, ikke er opfyldt.   All tax obligations and consequences to the Warrant Holders resulting from the Warrant Agreements, the Warrants issued or the shares acquired by the exercise of such Warrants, are the sole responsibility of the Warrant Holders and of no concern to the Company, including the situation where the tax authorities should find that the conditions for Section 7H of the Danish Tax Assessment Act being applicable are not fulfilled.
     
14.4 Warrantindehaverne er kraftigt opfordret til at søge skattemæssig rådgivning i forbindelse med indgåelsen af Warrantaftalerne.   The Warrant Holders are strongly encouraged to seek tax advice in connection with entering into the Warrant Agreements.

3.1 Warrants kan udnyttes i perioden fra 10. februar 2015 til og med 10. februar 2017 (“Udnyttelseseprioden”) inden for de udnyttelsesvinduer anført i punkt 3.2. Warrants, der ikke er blevet udnyttet på eller inden den sidste dag i Udnyttelsesperioden, bortfalder automatisk og bliver ugyldige uden yderligere varsel og/eller kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   The Warrants may be exercised in the period from 10 February 2015 until (and including) 10 February 2017 (“Exercise Period”) within the windows set forth in Clause 3.2.

2 Tildeling af Warrants   2 Grant of Warrants
     
2.1 Hver Warrantindehaver har fået tildelt det antal warrants i Selskabet, som er anført i Selskabets meddelelse til Warrantindehaveren i “Aktionærportalen” på Selskabets hjemmeside, som vil være tilgængelig den 5. maj 2015 (“Warrants”) i overensstemmelse med vilkårene i Aftalen og Selskabets vedtægter.   Each Warrant Holder has been granted such number of warrants in the Company as set out in the message from the Company to the Warrant Holder made available at “Aktionærportalen” at the website of the Company on 5 May 2015 (the “Warrants”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Company’s Articles of Association.

2.4 I forbindelse med Selskabets aktiebog skal der føres en fortegnelse over samtlige udstedte Warrants.   In connection with the Company’s register of shareholders, a register of all issued Warrants shall be kept.
     
3 Almindelig udnyttelse af Warrants   3 Ordinary Exercise of the Warrants
     
3.1 Warrants kan udnyttes i perioden fra 5. maj 2018 til og med 5. maj 2020 (“Udnyttelsesperioden”) inden for de udnyttelsesvinduer, der er anført i punkt 3.2. Warrants, der ikke er blevet udnyttet på eller inden den sidste dag i Udnyttelsesperioden, bortfalder automatisk og bliver ugyldige uden yderligere varsel og/eller kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   The Warrants may be exercised in the period from 5 May 2018 until (and including) 5 May 2020 (“Exercise Period”) within the windows set forth in Clause 3.2. Warrants which have not been exercised on or before the last dayof the Exercise Period will automatically lapse and become void without any further notice and/or compensation to the Warrant Holder.

3.2 Inden for Udnyttelsesperioden kan Warrants udnyttes fire gange om året i et 4 ugers udnyttelses-vindue, der begynder på tidspunktet for offentliggørelse af enten Selskabets årsregnskab eller perioderegnskab (henholdsvis 3, 6 eller 9 måneder).   Within the Exercise Period, the Warrants may be exercised four times a year during a 4-week window starting from the time of publication of either the Company’s annual report or quarterly or semi-annual reports (respectively 3, 6 and 9 months).
     
3.3 Warrantindehaveren er berettiget til at udnytte alle eller en del af sine Warrants. Warrantindehaveren kan dog ikke udnytte mindre end 25 procent ad gangen af det samlede antal Warrants, der er blevet tildelt Warrantindehaveren i henhold til Aftalen.   The Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise all or part of his or her Warrants. However, the Warrant Holder cannot exercise less than 25 per cent of the total number of Warrants granted in accordance with this Agreement at a time.

6 Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6 Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
     
6.1 Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr.101,20 (“Tegningskursen”).   Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 101.20 (the “Subscription Price”).

 

 5

 

 

6.2 Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Aftalen.   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Agreement.
     
6.3 Uanset bestemmelserne i Aftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.   Notwithstanding anything set out in the Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder.
     
6.4 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen (“Kontantbeløbet”). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the “Cash Amount”). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax (“A-tax”) and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.

 

 6

 

 

6.5 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.

10.1 Såfremt Warrantindehaveren giver rettidig meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, skal Selskabet gennemføre den dertil hørende kapitalforhøjelse.   In the event that the Warrant Holder gives notification on time of the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall carry out the relating increase of capital.
     
10.2 Størstebeløbet af den kapital, der kan tegnes på grundlag af Warrants er nominelt kr. 412.609 (op til 412.609 aktier à kr. 1,00) og mindstebeløbet er kr. 1,00 (1 aktie à kr. 1,00) Størstebeløbet kan forøges eller reduceres i henhold til bestemmelserne om regulering i punkt 7.   The maximum increase of capital that may be subscribed on basis of Warrants is nominally DKK 412,609 (up to 412,609 shares at DKK 1.00 each) and the minimum amount is DKK 1.00 (1 share at DKK 1.00) The maximum amount may be increased or reduced in accordance with the provisions on adjustment set forth in Clause 7.

6 Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6 Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
     
6.1 Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 142,45 (“Tegningskursen”).   Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 142.45 (the “Subscription Price”).
     
6.2 Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Aftalen.   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Agreement.
     
6.3 Uanset bestemmelserne i Aftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.   Notwithstanding anything set out in the Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder.

6.4 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen (“Kontantbeløbet”). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the “Cash Amount”). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax (“A-tax”) and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.
     
6.5 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette War rantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.

Warrants, der ikke er blevet udnyttet på eller inden den sidste dag i Udnyttelsesperioden, bortfalder automatisk og bliver ugyldige uden yderligere varsel og/eller kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   The Warrants may be exercised in the period from 22 May 2021 until (and including) 22 May 2023 (“Exercise Period”) within the windows set forth in Clause 3.2.

6 Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6 Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
       
6.1 Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 100,80 (“Tegningskursen”).   Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 100.80 (the “Subscription Price”).
       
6.2 Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Aftalen.   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Agreement.
       
6.3 Uanset bestemmelserne i Aftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren   Notwithstanding anything set out in the Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder.

6.4 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen (“Kontantbeløbet”). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the “Cash Amount”). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax (“A-tax”) and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.
       
6.5 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.

12 Ophør af ansættelsesforholdet   12 Cease of Employment Status
     
12.1 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, der er indgået med Selskabet, hvis ansættelseskontrakten opsiges af Selskabet begrundet i Warrantindehaverens grove misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet, eller hvis Warrantindehaveren har givet anledning til at blive lovligt bortvist, bortfalder samtlige uudnyttede Warrants - uanset om de kan udnyttes eller ej (er “modnede”) - straks og uden kompensation.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Employer, if the employment is terminated by the Employer due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all un-exercised warrants - whether the Warrants have become exercisable or not (“vested”) - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.
     
12.2 Hvis Selskabet opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens grove misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller Warrantindehaverens død, kan Warrants, som er modnede (se punkt 12.3) på tidspunktet for udløbet af opsigelsesperioden, udnyttes senest inden for det førstkommende ordinære udnyttelsesvindue efter udløbet af opsigelsesperioden. Warrants, der ikke udnyttes som beskrevet i dette punkt 12.2, bortfalder uden kompensation. Det præciseres, at Warrants, som ikke er modnede ved opsigelsesperiodens udløb, bortfalder uden kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   If the Employer terminates the employment and this is not due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or to the Warrant Holder having been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way or if the Warrant Holder dies, Warrants that have vested (see Clause 12.3) on the date of termination of notice being served may be exercised at the latest in the first ordinary exercise window following the date of the termination notice being served. Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 12.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.
     
12.3 Warrants shall vest monthly starting on 15 October 2018 and ending on 15 October 2021.   Warrants shall vest monthly starting on 15 October 2018 and ending on 15 October 2021.

12.4 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen skyldes grov misligholdelse fra Selskabets side, er Warrantindehaveren berettiget til at udnytte Warrrants i henhold til betingelserne i Aftalen, som om Warrantindehaveren stadig var ansat i Selskabet.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment and the termination is due to the material breach by the Employer, the Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise Warrants in accordance with the terms set out in this Agreement as if the Warrant Holder was still employed with the Company.

6.3 Uanset bestemmelserne i Aftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I såfald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.   Notwithstanding anything set out in the Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder.

6.4 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.

Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the “Cash Amount”4). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax (“A-tax”) and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.
     
6.5 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.

If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Company or if the employment is terminated by the Company due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all unexercised warrants - whether the Warrants vested or not - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.

     
13.2 Hvis Selskabet ophæver ansættelsesforholdet og dette ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller hvis Warrantindehaveren dør, kan Warrants der er vestede (se punkt 13.4) på datoen for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse udnyttes senest i det ordinære udnyttelsesvindue der falder senest 6 måneder efter datoen for Selskabets levering af meddelelse om ophævelse eller på datoen for Warrantindehaverens død. Warrants der ikke udnyttes som angivet i dette punkt 13.2 vil bortfalde uden betaling af kompensation. Det præciseres, at Warrants som ikke er vestede på tidspunktet for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse, skal bortfalde uden kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   If the Company terminates the employment and this is not due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or to the Warrant Holder having been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way or if the Warrant Holder dies, Warrants that have vested (see Clause 13.4) on the date of termination of notice being served may be exercised at the latest in the ordinary exercise window falling no later than 6 months after the date of the termination notice being served by the Company or the date on which the Warrant Holder dies. Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 13.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.

13.3 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen skyldes Selskabets væsentlige misligholdelse, er Warrantindehaveren berettiget til at udnyttede Warrants i overensstemmelse med vilkårene i dette bilag, som om Warrantindehaveren stadig var ansat i Selskabet.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment and the termination is due to the material breach by the Company, the Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise Warrants in accordance with the terms set out in these Articles of Association as if the Warrant Holder was still employed with the Company.
     
13.4 Warrants vester den 13. juni 2022.   Warrants shall vest on 13 June 2022.

14 Skattemæssige forhold   14 Tax Implications
     
14.1 Warrants skal være underlagt bestemmelserne i ligningslovens § 7 P.   Warrants shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7 P of the Danish Tax Assessment Act.
     
14.2 Samtlige skattemæssige forpligtelser og konsekvenser for Warrantindehaverensom følge af Warrantaftalen, de udstedte Warrants eller de erhvervede aktier gennem udnyttelse af disse Warrants er alene Warrantindehaverens ansvar og er Selskabet uvedkommende.   All tax obligations and consequences to the Warrant Holder resulting from the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants issued or the shares acquired by the exercise of such Warrants, are the sole responsibility of the Warrant Holder and of no concern to the Company.
     
14.3 Parterne er enige om, at værdien af hver enkelt warrant er kr. 45,04, og at den samlede værdi af tildelte warrants er kr. 7.584.195,52 multipliceret med det samlede antal af udstedte warrants.   The Parties agree that the value of each Warrant is DKK 45.04 and that the total value of the Warrants granted, is the value of each Warrant DKK 7,584,195.52 multiplied with the total number of Warrants granted.

14.4 Warrantindehaveren er kraftigt opfordret til at søge skattemæssig rådgivning i forbindelse med indgåelsen af Warrantaftalen.   The Warrant Holder is strongly encouraged to seek tax advice in connection with entering into the Warrant Agreement.

3.1 Vestede Warrants(se punkt 2.5) kan udnyttes i perioden fra den respektive Vesting Dato og indtil (og med) den 13. juni 2024 (“Udnyttelsesperioden”) inden for de udnyttelsesvinduer, der er anført i punkt 3.2. Warrants, der ikke er blevet udnyttet på eller inden den sidste dag i Udnyttelsesperioden, bortfalder automatisk og bliver ugyldige uden yderligere varsel og/eller kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.

3.3 Warrantindehaveren er berettiget til at udnytte alle eller en del af sine Warrants. Warrantindehaveren kan dog ikke udnytte mindre end 25 procent ad gangen af det samlede antal Warrants, der er blevet tildelt Warrantindehaveren i henhold til Warrantaftalen.   The Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise all or part of his or her Warrants, however, the Warrant Holder cannot exercise less than 25 per cent of the total number of Warrants granted in accordance with the Warrant Agreement at a time.
     
4 Ekstraordinær udnyttelse af Warrants   4 Extraordinary Exercise of the Warrants
     
4.1 Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation at henvisningen deri til § 31-32 i værdipapirhandelsloven skal erstattes med en henvisning til § 44-47 i kapitalmarkedsloven   See exhibit 8.1.A, which shall apply with the modification that the reference therein to Section 31-32 of the Danish Securities Trading Act shall be replaced by a reference to Section 44-47 of the Danish Capital Markets Act.
     
5 Praktisk udnyttelse af Warrants   5 Practicalities in connection with Exercise of the Warrants
     
5.1 Se bilag 8.1.C (ingen ændringer).   See exhibit 8.1.C (no changes).
     
6 Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6 Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
     
6.1 Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 138,60 (“Tegningskursen”).   Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 138.60 (the “Subscription Price”).
     
6.2 Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Warrantaftalen.   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Warrant Agreement.

 

5

 

 

6.3 Uanset bestemmelserne i Warrantaftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.   Notwithstanding anything set out in the Warrant Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder
     
6.4 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen (“Kontantbeløbet”). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the “Cash Amount”). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax (“A-tax”) and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.
     
6.5 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.

10.1 Såfremt Warrantindehaveren giver rettidig meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, skal Selskabet gennemføre den dertil hørende kapitalforhøjelse.   In the event that the Warrant Holder gives notification on time of the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall carry out the relating increase of capital.
     
10.2 Størstebeløbet af den kapital, der kan tegnes på grundlag af Warrants er nominelt kr. 25.976 (op til 25.976 aktier à kr. 1,00) og mindstebeløbet er kr. 1,00 (1 aktie à kr. 1,00) Størstebeløbet kan forøges eller reduceres i henhold til bestemmelserne om regulering i punkt 7.   The maximum increase of capital that may be subscribed on basis of Warrants is nominally DKK 25,976 (up to 25,976 shares at DKK 1.00 each) and the minimum amount is DKK 1.00 (1 share at DKK 1.00) The maximum amount may be increased or reduced in accordance with the provisions on adjustment set forth in Clause 7.

12 Ophør af ansættelsesforholdet   12 Cessation of Employment Status
     
12.1 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, der er indgået med Selskabet, hvis ansættelseskontrakten opsiges af Selskabet begrundet i Warrantindehaverens grove misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet, eller hvis Warrantindehaveren har givet anledning til at blive lovligt bortvist, bortfalder samtlige uudnyttede Warrants - uanset om de kan udnyttes eller ej (er “vestede”) - straks og uden kompensation.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Employer, if the employment is terminated by the Employer due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all un-exercised warrants - whether the Warrants have become exercisable or not (“vested”) - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.

12.2 Hvis Selskabet opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller Warrantindehaverens død, kan Warrants, som er vestede (se punkt 2.5) på tidspunktet for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse, udnyttes senest inden for det førstkommende ordinære udnyttelsesvindue som falder senest 6 måneder efter Selskabets levering af meddelelse om ophævelse eller på den dato, hvor Warrantindehaveren dør. Warrants, der ikke udnyttet som beskrevet i dette punkt 12.2, bortfalder uden kompensation. Det præciseres, at Warrants, som ikke er vestede ved opsigelsesperiodens udløb, bortfalder uden kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   If the Employer terminates the employment and this is not due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or to the Warrant Holder having been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way or if the Warrant Holder dies, Warrants that have vested (see Clause 2.5) on the date of termination of notice being served may be exercised at the latest in the ordinary exercise window falling no later than 6 months after the date of the termination notice being served by the Company or the date on which the Warrant Holder dies. Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 12.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.
     
12.3 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen skyldes grov misligholdelse fra Selskabets side, er Warrantindehaveren berettiget til at udnytte Warrants i henhold til betingelserne i Warrantaftalen, som om Warrantindehaveren stadig var ansat i Selskabet.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment and the termination is due to the material breach by the Employer, the Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise Warrants in accordance with the terms set out in the Warrant Agreement as if the Warrant Holder was still employed with the Company.

Vested Warrants (see Clause 2.5) may be exercised in the period from the respective Vesting Date and until (and including) 5 December 2024 (“Exercise Period”) within the windows set forth in Clause 3.2. Warrants which have not been exercised on or before the last day of the Exercise Period will automatically lapse and become void without any further notice and/or compensation to the Warrant Holder. 

     
3.2 Inden for Udnyttelsesperioden kan Warrants udnyttes fire gange om året i et 4 ugers udnyttelses-vindue, der begynder på tidspunktet for offentliggørelse af enten Selskabets årsregnskab eller perioderegnskab (henholdsvis 3, 6 eller 9 måneder).   Within the Exercise Period, the Warrants may be exercised four times a year during a 4-week window starting from the time of publication of either the Company’s annual report or quarterly or semi-annual reports (respectively 3, 6 and 9 months).

3.3 Warrantindehaveren er berettiget til at udnytte alle eller en del af sine Warrants. Warrantindehaveren kan dog ikke udnytte mindre end 25 procent ad gangen af det samlede antal Warrants, der er blevet tildelt Warrantindehaveren i henhold til Warrantaftalen.   The Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise all or part of his or her Warrants, however, the Warrant Holder cannot exercise less than 25 per cent of the total number of Warrants granted in accordance with the Warrant Agreement at a time.

4.1 Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation at henvisningen deri til § 31-32 i værdipapirhandelsloven skal erstattes med en henvisning til § 44-47 i kapitalmarkedsloven   See exhibit 8.1.A, which shall apply with the modification that the reference therein to Section 31-32 of the Danish Securities Trading Act shall be replaced by a reference to Section 44-47 of the Danish Capital Markets Act.

6 Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6 Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
     
6.1 Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 220,00 (“Tegningskursen”).   Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 220.00 (the “Subscription Price”).
     
6.2 Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anførti Warrantaftalen.   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Warrant Agreement.

6.3 Uanset bestemmelserne i Warrantaftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.   Notwithstanding anything set out in the Warrant Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder
       
6.4 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen (“Kontantbeløbet”). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the “Cash Amount”). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax (“A-tax”) and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.
       
6.5 Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.

10 Kapitalforhøjelse ved udnyttelse af Warrants   10 Capital Increase in connection with the Exercise of the Warrants
     
10.1 Såfremt Warrantindehaveren giver rettidig meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, skal Selskabet gennemføre den dertil hørende kapitalforhøjelse.   In the event that the Warrant Holder gives notification on time of the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall carry out the relating increase of capital.
     
10.2 Størstebeløbet af den kapital, der kan tegnes på grundlag af Warrants er nominelt kr. 48.915 (op til 48.915 aktier à kr. 1,00) og mindstebeløbet er kr. 1,00 (1 aktie à kr. 1,00) Størstebeløbet kan forøges eller reduceres i henhold til bestemmelserne om regulering i punkt 7.   The maximum increase of capital that may be subscribed on basis of Warrants is nominally DKK 48,915 (up to 48,915 shares at DKK 1.00 each) and the minimum amount is DKK 1.00 (1 share at DKK 1.00) The maximum amount may be increased or reduced in accordance with the provisions on adjustment set forth in Clause 7.

12 Ophør af ansættelsesforholdet   12 Cessation of Employment Status
     
12.1 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, der er indgået med Selskabet, hvis ansættelseskontrakten opsiges af Selskabet begrundet i Warrantindehaverens grove misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet, eller hvis Warrantindehaveren har givet anledning til at blive lovligt bortvist, bortfalder samtlige uudnyttede Warrants - uanset om de kan udnyttes eller ej (er “vestede”) - straks og uden kompensation.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Employer, if the employment is terminated by the Employer due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all un-exercised warrants - whether the Warrants have become exercisable or not (“vested”) - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.

12.2 Hvis Selskabet opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller Warrantindehaverens død, kan Warrants, som er vestede (se punkt 2.5) på tidspunktet for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse, udnyttes senest inden for det førstkommende ordinære udnyttelsesvindue som falder senest 6 måneder efter Selskabets levering af meddelelse om ophævelse eller på den dato, hvor Warrantindehaveren dør. Warrants, der ikke udnyttet som beskrevet i dette punkt 12.2, bortfalder uden kompensation. Det præciseres, at Warrants, som ikke er vestede ved opsigelsesperiodens udløb, bortfalder uden kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.   If the Employer terminates the employment and this is not due to the Warrant Holder’s material breach of the employment relationship or to the Warrant Holder having been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way or if the Warrant Holder dies, Warrants that have vested (see Clause 2.5) on the date of termination of notice being served may be exercised at the latest in the ordinary exercise window falling no later than 6 months after the date of the termination notice being served by the Company or the date on which the Warrant Holder dies. Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 12.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.
     
12.3 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen skyldes grov misligholdelse fra Selskabets side, er Warrantindehaveren berettiget til at udnytte Warrants i henhold til betingelserne i Warrantaftalen, som om Warrantindehaveren stadig var ansat i Selskabet.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment and the termination is due to the material breach by the Employer, the Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise Warrants in accordance with the terms set out in the Warrant Agreement as if the Warrant Holder was still employed with the Company.

6         Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   6         Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
     
6.1     Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 224,40 ("Tegningskursen").  

Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 224.40 (the "Subscription Price").

 

6.2      Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Warrantaftalen.

 

   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Warrant Agreement.

6.3       Uanset bestemmelserne i Warrantaftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.  

Notwithstanding anything set out in the Warrant Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder.

 

6.4      Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen ("Kontantbeløbet"). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.

 

   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the "Cash Amount"). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax ("A-tax") and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.

 

6

 

 

 

 

6.5      Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.

 

   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.
7         Regulering af vilkår for Warrants ved visse definerede ændringer i Selskabets kapitalforhold   7        Adjustment of the Conditions for Warrants in case of certain defined Changes in the Company's Capital Structure
     

7.1      Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation at henvisningen deri til vedtægternes punkt 8.1 skal erstattes med en henvisning til vedtægternes punkt 8.4.

 

  

See exhibit 8.1.A, which shall apply with the modification that the reference therein to Clause 8.1 shall be replaced by a reference to Clause 8.4 of the Articles of Association.

See exhibit 8.1.A (no changes).

 

9         Vilkår for nye aktier udstedt ved udnyttelse af Warrants   9         Conditions for New Shares issued following Exercise of the Warrants
     

9.1      Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation, at henvisningen deri til Erhvervs- og Selskabsstyrelsen skal erstattes med en henvisning til Erhvervsstyrelsen.

 

  

See exhibit 8.1.A, which shall apply with the modification that the reference therein to the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency shall be replaced by a reference to the Danish Business Authority.

 

10       Kapitalforhøjelse ved udnyttelse af Warrants   10       Capital Increase in connection with the Exercise of the Warrants
     

10.1    Såfremt Warrantindehaveren giver rettidig meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, skal Selskabet gennemføre den dertil hørende kapitalforhøjelse.

 

   In the event that the Warrant Holder gives notification on time of the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall carry out the relating increase of capital.

 

7

 

 

 

 

10.2     Størstebeløbet af den kapital, der kan tegnes på grundlag af Warrants er nominelt kr. 220.764 (op til 220.764 aktier à kr. 1,00) og mindstebeløbet er kr. 1,00 (1 aktie à kr. 1,00) Størstebeløbet kan forøges eller reduceres i henhold til bestemmelserne om regulering i punkt 7.  

The maximum increase of capital that may be subscribed on basis of Warrants is nominally DKK 220,764 (up to 220,764 shares at DKK 1.00 each) and the minimum amount is DKK 1.00 (1 share at DKK 1.00). The maximum amount may be increased or reduced in accordance with the provisions on adjustment set forth in Clause 7.

 

11       Omkostninger i forbindelse med udstedelse af aktier   11       Costs related to the Issue of Shares
     
11.1     Se bilag 8.1.A (ingen ændringer).   See exhibit 8.1.A (no changes).
     
12       Ophør af ansættelsesforholdet   12       Cessation of Employment Status
     

12.1    Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, der er indgået med Selskabet, hvis ansættelseskontrakten opsiges af Selskabet begrundet i Warrantindehaverens grove misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet, eller hvis Warrantindehaveren har givet anledning til at blive lovligt bortvist, bortfalder samtlige uudnyttede Warrants - uanset om de er vestede eller ej - straks og uden kompensation.

 

   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Employer, if the employment is terminated by the Employer due to the Warrant Holder's material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all un-exercised warrants - whether the Warrants have vested or not - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.
     
12.2     Hvis Selskabet opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller Warrantindehaverens død, kan Warrants, som er vestede (se punkt 2.5) på tidspunktet for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse, udnyttes senest inden for det førstkommende ordinære udnyttelsesvindue som falder senest 6 måneder efter Selskabets levering af meddelelse om ophævelse eller på den dato, hvor Warrantindehaveren dør. Warrants, der ikke udnyttet som beskrevet i dette punkt 12.2, bortfalder uden kompensation. Det præciseres, at Warrants, som ikke er vestede ved opsigelsesperiodens udløb, bortfalder uden kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.  

If the Employer terminates the employment and this is not due to the Warrant Holder's material breach of the employment relationship or to the Warrant Holder having been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way or if the Warrant Holder dies, Warrants that have vested (see Clause 2.5) on the date of termination of notice being served may be exercised at the latest in the ordinary exercise window falling no later than 6 months after the date of the termination notice being served by the Company or the date on which the Warrant Holder dies. Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 12.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.

12.3   Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen skyldes grov misligholdelse fra Selskabets side, er Warrantindehaveren berettiget til at udnytte Warrants i henhold til betingelserne i Warrantaftalen, som om Warrantindehaveren stadig var ansat i Selskabet.

 

   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment and the termination is due to the material breach by the Employer, the Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise Warrants in accordance with the terms set out in the Warrant Agreement as if the Warrant Holder was still employed with the Company.
13       Insiderhandel   13       Insider Trading
     
13.1     Se bilag 8.1.A (ingen ændringer).   See exhibit 8.1.A (no changes).
     
14       Skattemæssige forhold   14       Tax Implications
     

14.1    Samtlige skattemæssige forpligtelser og konsekvenser for Warrantindehaverensom følge af Warrantaftalen, de udstedte Warrants eller de erhvervede aktier gennem udnyttelse af disse Warrants er alene Warrantindehaverens ansvar og er Selskabet uvedkommende.

 

   All tax obligations and consequences to the Warrant Holder resulting from the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants issued or the shares acquired by the exercise of such Warrants, are the sole responsibility of the Warrant Holder and of no concern to the Company.

14.2    Warrantindehaveren er blevet kraftigt opfordret til at søge skattemæssig rådgivning i forbindelse med indgåelsen af Warrantaftalen.

 

   The Warrant Holder has been strongly encouraged to seek tax advice in connection with entering into the Warrant Agreement.

3 Almindelig udnyttelse af Warrants   3 Ordinary Exercise of the Warrants
         
3.1 Vestede Warrants (se punkt 2.5) kan udnyttes i perioden fra den respektive Vesting Dato og indtil (og med) den 14. april 2030 ("Udnyttelsesperioden") inden for de udnyttelsesvinduer, der er anført i punkt 3.2. Warrants, der ikke er blevet udnyttet på eller inden den sidste dag i Udnyttelsesperioden, bortfalder automatisk og bliver ugyldige uden yderligere varsel og/eller kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.     Vested Warrants (see Clause 2.5) may be exercised in the period from the respective Vesting Date and until (and including) 14 April 2030 ("Exercise Period") within the windows set forth in Clause 3.2.

3.3 Warrantindehaveren er berettiget til at udnytte alle eller en del af sine Warrants.   The Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise all or part of his or her Warrants.  
       
4 Beløbsgrænse for hver tildeling   4 Value cap for each grant
         
4.1 Det maksimale afkast ved udnyttelse af hver Warrant-tildeling kan ikke overstige et beløb svarende til fem gange det årlige basisvederlag ("Værdiloft") for den enkelte Warrantindehaver.   The gross return from the exercise of each grant of Warrants cannot exceed a value of more than five times the annual base salary (the “Value Cap”) of the individual Warrant Holder.  
       
4.2 Det årlige basisvederlag beregnes som den faste årlige grundløn, som udbetales af Selskabet eller et datterselskab til Selskabet ("Arbejdsgiveren") til Warrantindehaveren på tidspunktet for tildelingen, før enhver betaling eller fradrag af skat eller pensionsforpligtelser, men eksklusive tillæg, bonus eller enhver anden godtgørelse, som Arbejdsgiveren eller Selskabet måtte betale, herunder Warrants eller andre aktiebaserede incitamentsprogrammer.     The annual base salary is calculated as the annual fixed salary payable by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (the "Employer") to the Warrant Holder at the time of grant, prior to any payment or deduction of any tax or pension obligations, but does not include benefits, bonuses or any other potential compensation payable by the Employer or the Company, including Warrants or other share-based instruments.  
       
4.3 Ved det maksimale afkast forstås det sammenlagte og samlede afkast for hver Warrant-tildeling til rådighed for Warrantindehaveren gennem udnyttelse af Warrants i Udnyttelsesperioden. Det maksimale afkast beregnes som differencen mellem beløbet svarende til Warrants' samlede værdi ("Tegningsværdien") på tidspunktet, hvor der gives meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, og den gennemsnitlige slutkurs på Selskabets aktier på Nasdaq Copenhagen i de fem dage før enhver udnyttelse af Warrants i en enkelt tildeling.     The gross return means the aggregated and total return of each Warrant grant, available to the Warrant Holder through the exercise of Warrants during the Exercise Period. The gross return is calculated as the difference between the amount equal to the total value of the Warrants (the "Subscription Amount") at the same time as giving notice of the exercise of the Warrants and the average closing price of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen for the five days prior to one or more exercises of Warrants in a single grant.

4.4 Hvis det samlede maksimale afkast, som defineret ovenfor i punkt 4.3, overstiger Værdiloftet, vil enhver tilbageværende Warrant ved den pågældende tildeling, som overstiger Værdiloftet, bortfalde uden kompensation.     If the aggregated gross return, as defined in Clause 4.3 above, exceeds the Value Cap, any remaining Warrants for the grant in question which exceeds the Value Cap, will lapse without compensation.  
     
5 Ekstraordinær udnyttelse af Warrants   5 Extraordinary Exercise of the Warrants
     
5.1 Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation at henvisningen deri til § 31-32 i værdipapirhandelsloven skal erstattes med en henvisning til § 44-47 i kapitalmarkedsloven, og at henvisninger til NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S skal erstattes med en henvisning til Nasdaq Copenhagen.   See exhibit 8.1.A, which shall apply with the modification that the reference therein to Section 31-32 of the Danish Securities Trading Act shall be replaced by a reference to Section 44-47 of the Danish Capital Markets Act, and that references therein to NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S shall be replaced by a reference to Nasdaq Copenhagen.

13.1 Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger sit ansættelsesforhold ved Selskabet eller hvis ansættelsesforholdet ophæves af Selskabet som følge af Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller hvis Warrantindehaveren bortvises af lovlig grund bortfalder alle uudnyttede warrants - uanset om Warrants er vestede eller ej - med øjeblikkelig virkning og uden kompensation.   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Company or if the employment is terminated by the Company due to the Warrant Holder's material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all unexercised warrants - whether the Warrants vested or not - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.  
     
13.2 Hvis Selskabet ophæver ansættelsesforholdet og dette ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller hvis Warrantindehaveren dør, kan Warrants der er vestede (se punkt 13.4) på datoen for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse udnyttes senest i det ordinære udnyttelsesvindue der falder senest 6 måneder efter datoen for Selskabets levering af meddelelse om ophævelse eller på datoen for Warrantindehaverens død.

Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 13.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.

15.2 Selskabet påtager sig ingen garantier overfor Warrantindehaveren for, at Warrantindehaveren vil være berettiget til skattemæssig behandling efter ligningslovens § 7P, i sin til enhver tid gældende form, herunder hvis betingelserne for bestemmelsens anvendelse ikke er opfyldt eller hvis bestemmelsen ændres eller ophæves i fremtiden.   The Company does not make any guarantees to the Warrant Holder that the Warrant Holder will be subject to the tax treatment under Section 7P of the Danish Tax Assessment Act, as amended from time to time, including if the requirements for the application of the provision are not met or if the provision is altered or repealed in the future.

1          Formål   1          Purpose
1.1      På bestyrelsesmødet i Zealand Pharma A/S ("Selskabet") den 15. april 2020 blev der i overensstemmelse med vedtægternes punkt 8.4 vedtaget følgende nye bestemmelser vedrørende udstedelse af warrants til visse af Selskabets medarbejdere ("Warrantindehaver") ("Warrants").  

At the board meeting held in Zealand Pharma A/S (the "Company") on 15 April 2020, the following new provisions were adopted in accordance with Article 8.4 of the Articles of Association concerning the issuing of warrants to certain employees of the Company (the "Warrant Holder") ("Warrants").

 

1.2      Bestyrelsen har besluttet at udstede op til 47.392 warrants i Selskabet til tegning af op til 47.392 aktier til kr. 1,00 (nominelt kr. 47.392) i henhold til vedtægternes punkt 8.4.

 

  

The Board of Directors has decided to issue up to 47,392 Warrants in the Company for the subscription of up to 47,392 shares of DKK 1.00 (nominally DKK 47,392) according to Article 8.4 of the Articles of Association.

 

1.3      Warrants berettiger Warrantindehaveren til at tegne aktier på de i bilag 8.1.A, som modificeret ved bilag 8.1.C til Selskabets vedtægter anførte vilkår og dette bilag 8.4.q som nærmere angivet i det følgende.

 

  

The Warrants entitle the Warrant Holder to subscribe for shares on the terms and conditions stipulated in exhibit 8.1.A, as amended by exhibit 8.1.C of the Articles of Association of the Company and this exhibit 8.4.q as set out in the following.

 

2          Tildeling af Warrants   2          Grant of Warrants

2.1      Hver Warrantindehaver har fået tildelt det antal warrants i Selskabet, som er anført i Selskabets meddelelse til Warrantindehaveren i "Aktionærportalen" på Selskabets hjemmeside, som vil være tilgængelig den 15. april 2020 ("Warrants") i overensstemmelse med vilkårene i den/de warrantaftale(r), hvor tegning af Warrants i henhold til dette bilag har fundet sted ("Warrantaftalen") og Selskabets vedtægter.

 

  

Each Warrant Holder has been granted such number of warrants in the Company as set out in the message from the Company to the Warrant Holder made available at "Aktionærportalen" at the website of the Company on 15 April 2020 (the "Warrants") in accordance with the terms set forth in the warrant agreement(s) whereby subscription for the Warrants in accordance with this exhibit has/have taken place (the "Warrant Agreement") and the Company's Articles of Association.

2.2      Tildeling af Warrants sker uden beregning.

 

   The Warrants are granted free of charge.

2.3      Hver Warrant berettiger Warrantindehaveren til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet i henhold til de relevante bestemmelser anført i punkt 3 - 6 til den i punkt 7 fastsatte tegningskurs.

 

  

Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share of nominal value DKK 1.00 in the Company pursuant to the relevant conditions as set forth in Clauses 3 - 6 and at the relevant subscription price as determined in Clause 7.

 

2.4      I forbindelse med Selskabets aktiebog skal der føres en fortegnelse over samtlige udstedte Warrants.

 

  

In connection with the Company's register of shareholders, a register of all issued Warrants shall be kept.

 

2.5      Warrants vester løbende over en treårig periode efter datoen for tildeling af Warrants. Derved vester Warrants med 1/3 den 15. april 2021, 1/3 den 15. april 2022 og 1/3 den 15. april 2023. Datoen på hvilken Warrants vester refereres til som "Vesting Dato".  

Warrants shall vest gradually over the three-year period following the date of grant of Warrants with an annual vest of 1/3. Hence, Warrants vests with 1/3 on 15 April 2021, 1/3 on 15 April 2022 and 1/3 on 15 April 2023. The date on which Warrants vest is referred to as the "Vesting Date".

 

3          Almindelig udnyttelse af Warrants 3          Ordinary Exercise of the Warrants

3.1      Vestede Warrants (se punkt 2.5) kan udnyttes i perioden fra den respektive Vesting Dato og indtil (og med) den 14. april 2030 ("Udnyttelsesperioden") inden for de udnyttelsesvinduer, der er anført i punkt 3.2. Warrants, der ikke er blevet udnyttet på eller inden den sidste dag i Udnyttelsesperioden, bortfalder automatisk og bliver ugyldige uden yderligere varsel og/eller kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.

  

Vested Warrants (see Clause 2.5) may be exercised in the period from the respective Vesting Date and until (and including) 14 April 2030 ("Exercise Period") within the windows set forth in Clause 3.2. Warrants which have not been exercised on or before the last day of the Exercise Period will automatically lapse and become void without any further notice and/or compensation to the Warrant Holder.

 

 

4

 

 

 

3.2      Inden for Udnyttelsesperioden kan Warrants udnyttes fire gange om året i et 4 ugers udnyttelses-vindue, der begynder på tidspunktet for offentliggørelse af enten Selskabets årsregnskab eller perioderegnskab (henholdsvis 3, 6 eller 9 måneder).

 

   Within the Exercise Period, the Warrants may be exercised four times a year during a 4-week window starting from the time of publication of either the Company's annual report or quarterly or semi-annual reports (respectively 3, 6 and 9 months).
3.3      Warrantindehaveren er berettiget til at udnytte alle eller en del af sine Warrants.   The Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise all or part of his or her Warrants.
4          Beløbsgrænse for hver tildeling   4          Value cap for each grant
4.1      Det maksimale afkast ved udnyttelse af hver Warrant-tildeling kan ikke overstige et beløb svarende til fem gange det årlige basisvederlag ("Værdiloft") for den enkelte Warrantindehaver.  

The gross return from the exercise of each grant of Warrants cannot exceed a value of more than five times the annual base salary (the “Value Cap”) of the individual Warrant Holder.

 

4.2      Det årlige basisvederlag beregnes som den faste årlige grundløn, som udbetales af Selskabet eller et datterselskab til Selskabet ("Arbejdsgiveren") til Warrantindehaveren på tidspunktet for tildelingen, før enhver betaling eller fradrag af skat eller pensionsforpligtelser, men eksklusive tillæg, bonus eller enhver anden godtgørelse, som Arbejdsgiveren eller Selskabet måtte betale, herunder Warrants eller andre aktiebaserede incitamentsprogrammer.

 

  

The annual base salary is calculated as the annual fixed salary payable by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (the "Employer") to the Warrant Holder at the time of grant, prior to any payment or deduction of any tax or pension obligations, but does not include benefits, bonuses or any other potential compensation payable by the Employer or the Company, including Warrants or other share-based instruments.

 

4.3      Ved det maksimale afkast forstås det sammenlagte og samlede afkast for hver Warrant-tildeling til rådighed for Warrantindehaveren gennem udnyttelse af Warrants i Udnyttelsesperioden. Det maksimale afkast beregnes som differencen mellem beløbet svarende til Warrants' samlede værdi ("Tegningsværdien") på tidspunktet, hvor der gives meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, og den gennemsnitlige slutkurs på Selskabets aktier på Nasdaq Copenhagen i de fem dage før enhver udnyttelse af Warrants i en enkelt tildeling.

 

  

The gross return means the aggregated and total return of each Warrant grant, available to the Warrant Holder through the exercise of Warrants during the Exercise Period. The gross return is calculated as the difference between the amount equal to the total value of the Warrants (the "Subscription Amount") at the same time as giving notice of the exercise of the Warrants and the average closing price of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen for the five days prior to one or more exercises of Warrants in a single grant.

 

 

5

 

 

 

4.4      Hvis det samlede maksimale afkast, som defineret ovenfor i punkt 4.3, overstiger Værdiloftet, vil enhver tilbageværende Warrant ved den pågældende tildeling, som overstiger Værdiloftet, bortfalde uden kompensation.

 

  

If the aggregated gross return, as defined in Clause 4.3 above, exceeds the Value Cap, any remaining Warrants for the grant in question which exceeds the Value Cap, will lapse without compensation.

5          Ekstraordinær udnyttelse af Warrants   5          Extraordinary Exercise of the Warrants
5.1      Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation at henvisningen deri til § 31-32 i værdipapirhandelsloven skal erstattes med en henvisning til § 44-47 i kapitalmarkedsloven, og at henvisninger til NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S skal erstattes med en henvisning til Nasdaq Copenhagen.  

See exhibit 8.1.A, which shall apply with the modification that the reference therein to Section 31-32 of the Danish Securities Trading Act shall be replaced by a reference to Section 44-47 of the Danish Capital Markets Act, and that references therein to NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S shall be replaced by a reference to Nasdaq Copenhagen.

 

6          Praktisk udnyttelse af Warrants   6          Practicalities in connection with Exercise of the Warrants
6.1      Se bilag 8.1.C (ingen ændringer).  

See exhibit 8.1.C (no changes).

 

7          Tegningskurs for aktier ved udnyttelse af Warrants   7         Subscription Price for Shares in connection with the Exercise of Warrants
7.1      Hver Warrant giver Warrantindehaveren ret til at tegne 1 aktie à nominelt kr. 1,00 i Selskabet til en tegningspris på kr. 224,40 ("Tegningskursen").  

Each Warrant entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 1 share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 1.00 at a subscription price of DKK 224.40 (the "Subscription Price").

 

 

6

 

 

 

7.2      Tegningskursen kan reguleres som anført i Warrantaftalen.

 

   The Subscription Price may be regulated as set out in the Warrant Agreement.
     
7.3      Uanset bestemmelserne i Warrantaftalen, kan Selskabet i tilfælde af, at Warrantindehaveren ønsker at udnytte Warrants, efter eget skøn beslutte at foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet til Warrantindehaveren. I så fald skal Selskabet automatisk tilbagekøbe de pågældende Warrants fra Warrantindehaveren.  

Notwithstanding anything set out in the Warrant Agreement, in the event that the Warrant Holder gives notice that the Warrant Holder wishes to exercise Warrants, the Company may at its sole discretion decide to make the settlement in cash instead of issuing shares in the Company to the Warrant Holder. Consequently, the Company will in such situation automatically buy back the relevant Warrants from the Warrant Holder.

 

7.4      Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants, skal Selskabet tilbagebetale det relevante tegningsbeløb, som Warrantindehaveren har betalt til Selskabet i forbindelse med afgivelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen. Herudover skal Selskabet betale Warrantindehaveren et kontant beløb for hver Warrant, som udnyttes af Warrantindehaveren, svarende til den gennemsnitlige markedskurs per aktie på tidspunktet for Warrantindehaverens afgivelse af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen med fradrag af et beløb svarende til Tegningskursen ("Kontantbeløbet"). Kontantbeløbet betales efter fradrag af A-skat og andre lovpligtige beløb, der skal indeholdes af Selskabet. Efter betaling er gennemført, skal de relevante Warrants betragtes som værende overdraget tilbage til Selskabet, og Warrantindehaveren har således ingen rettigheder vedrørende med disse Warrants.

 

   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants, the Company shall repay the relevant subscription amount paid to the Company by the Warrant Holder in connection with the delivery of the exercise notice. Further, the Company shall pay to the Warrant Holder a cash amount for each Warrant exercised by the Warrant Holder equivalent to the average market price per Share on the date on which the exercise notice has been served by the Warrant Holder deducted an amount equivalent to the Subscription Price (the "Cash Amount"). The Cash Amount shall be paid after deduction of income tax ("A-tax") and other statutory amounts to be withheld by the Company. Upon such payment the relevant Warrants shall be considered transferred back to the Company and the Warrant Holder shall consequently have no further rights with respect to such Warrants.

 

7

 

 

 

7.5      Såfremt Selskabet beslutter at tilbagekøbe Warrants og foretage kontant afregning i stedet for at udstede aktier i Selskabet, skal Selskabet underrette Warrantindehaveren herom inden 30 dage efter modtagelsen af udnyttelsesmeddelelsen.

 

   If the Company decides to buy back Warrants and make the settlement in cash instead of delivering shares in the Company, the Company must inform the Warrant Holder hereof within 30 days after having received the exercise notice.
8          Regulering af vilkår for Warrants ved visse definerede ændringer i Selskabets kapitalforhold   8         Adjustment of the Conditions for Warrants in case of certain defined Changes in the Company's Capital Structure

8.1      Se bilag 8.1.A, som skal finde anvendelse med den modifikation at henvisningen deri til vedtægternes punkt 8.1 skal erstattes med en henvisning til vedtægternes punkt 8.4.

11       Kapitalforhøjelse ved udnyttelse af Warrants   11       Capital Increase in connection with the Exercise of the Warrants

11.1    Såfremt Warrantindehaveren giver rettidig meddelelse om udnyttelse af Warrants, skal Selskabet gennemføre den dertil hørende kapitalforhøjelse.

 

   In the event that the Warrant Holder gives notification on time of the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall carry out the relating increase of capital.
11.2    Størstebeløbet af den kapital, der kan tegnes på grundlag af Warrants er nominelt kr. 47.392 (op til 47.392 aktier à kr. 1,00) og mindstebeløbet er kr. 1,00 (1 aktie à kr. 1,00) Størstebeløbet kan forøges eller reduceres i henhold til bestemmelserne om regulering i punkt 8.  

The maximum increase of capital that may be subscribed on basis of Warrants is nominally DKK 47,392 (up to 47,392 shares at DKK 1.00 each) and the minimum amount is DKK 1.00 (1 share at DKK 1.00). The maximum amount may be increased or reduced in accordance with the provisions on adjustment set forth in Clause 8.

 

12       Omkostninger i forbindelse med udstedelse af aktier   12       Costs related to the Issue of Shares
12.1   Se bilag 8.1.A (ingen ændringer).   See exhibit 8.1.A (no changes).
13       Ophør af ansættelsesforholdet   13       Cessation of Employment Status

13.1   Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, der er indgået med Selskabet, hvis ansættelseskontrakten opsiges af Selskabet begrundet i Warrantindehaverens grove misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet, eller hvis Warrantindehaveren har givet anledning til at blive lovligt bortvist, bortfalder samtlige uudnyttede Warrants - uanset om de er vestede eller ej - straks og uden kompensation.

 

   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment with the Employer, if the employment is terminated by the Employer due to the Warrant Holder's material breach of the employment relationship or if the Warrant Holder has been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way due to cause, all un-exercised warrants - whether the Warrants have vested or not - will lapse immediately without any compensation being payable.

 

9

 

 

 

13.2    Hvis Selskabet opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen ikke skyldes Warrantindehaverens væsentlige misligholdelse af ansættelsesforholdet eller lovlig bortvisning af Warrantindehaveren eller Warrantindehaverens død, kan Warrants, som er vestede (se punkt 2.5) på tidspunktet for levering af meddelelse om ophævelse, udnyttes senest inden for det førstkommende ordinære udnyttelsesvindue som falder senest 6 måneder efter Selskabets levering af meddelelse om ophævelse eller på den dato, hvor Warrantindehaveren dør. Warrants, der ikke udnyttet som beskrevet i dette punkt 13.2, bortfalder uden kompensation. Det præciseres, at Warrants, som ikke er vestede ved opsigelsesperiodens udløb, bortfalder uden kompensation til Warrantindehaveren.  

If the Employer terminates the employment and this is not due to the Warrant Holder's material breach of the employment relationship or to the Warrant Holder having been dismissed summarily in a legitimate way or if the Warrant Holder dies, Warrants that have vested (see Clause 2.5) on the date of termination of notice being served may be exercised at the latest in the ordinary exercise window falling no later than 6 months after the date of the termination notice being served by the Company or the date on which the Warrant Holder dies. Warrants not exercised as set out in this Clause 13.2 will lapse without any compensation being payable. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that are not vested on the date of the termination notice being served shall lapse without any compensation being payable to the Warrant Holder.

 

13.3    Hvis Warrantindehaveren opsiger ansættelsesforholdet, og opsigelsen skyldes grov misligholdelse fra Selskabets side, er Warrantindehaveren berettiget til at udnytte Warrants i henhold til betingelserne i Warrantaftalen, som om Warrantindehaveren stadig var ansat i Selskabet.

 

   If the Warrant Holder terminates the employment and the termination is due to the material breach by the Employer, the Warrant Holder is entitled to exercise Warrants in accordance with the terms set out in the Warrant Agreement as if the Warrant Holder was still employed with the Company.
