Agenda Item 2: Proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to issue investor warrants

 

The Board of Directors proposed to amend the Company’s Articles of Association by amending the current authorization in Article 2.10 of the Articles of Association so that the Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 30,000,000 warrants to investors, lenders, consultants and/or advisors that confer the right to subscribe shares for up to nominal DKK 30,000,000.

 

The Board of Directors specifically proposed the following wording for the amended Article 2.10 in the Articles of Association:

 

Article 2.10

 

“The board of directors is until 1 May 2027 authorized at one or more times to issue warrants to investors, lenders, consultants and/or advisors in the company or its subsidiaries entitling the holder to subscribe for shares for a total of up to nominal value of DKK 30,000,000 without pre-emptive subscription rights for the company's shareholders. The exercise price for the warrants issued according to this authorization shall at the time of issuance be determined by the board of directors at minimum market price. The board of directors shall determine the terms for the warrants issued and the distribution hereof.

 

At the same time, the board of directors is authorized until 1 May 2027 at one or more times to increase the company's share capital with up to nominal value of DKK 30,000,000 without pre-emptive rights for the company's shareholders by cash payment in order to implement the capital increase related to exercise of warrants. In accordance with this clause the board of directors may increase share capital with a minimum nominal value of DKK 1.00 and a maxi-mum nominal value of DKK 30,000,000.

 

 

 

 

The shares issued based on exercise of warrants shall be non-negotiable instruments issued in the name of the holder and registered in the name of the holder in the company's register of shareholders. The shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the existing shares of the company and no shareholder shall be obliged to have the shares re-deemed fully or partly. No partial payment is allowed. The shares shall be with the same rights as the existing share capital and shall not belong to a specific share class. The shares shall give rights to dividends and other rights in the company from the time of registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority.”

 

The General Meeting adopted the proposal with the required majority.

The Board of Directors specifically proposed the following wording for the amended Article 3.1 in the Articles of Association:

 

Article 3.1:

 

"The board of directors is until 1 May 2027 authorized at one or more times to increase the company’s share capital by up to nominal DKK 44,170,262 without pre-emptive subscription rights for the company’s shareholders. Capital increases according to this authorization must be carried out by the board of directors by way of cash contributions. The shares may be issued at market price or at a discount to the listed price of the ADSs as determined by the board of directors.

No partial payment is allowed. The shares shall be with the same rights as the existing share capital and shall not belong to a specific share class. The shares shall give rights to dividends and other rights in the company from the time of registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority.”

 

The General Meeting adopted the proposal with the required majority.
