Item 6): Election of auditor

Item 7 a): Proposal to reduce the share capital to cover losses and at the same time reduce the nominal value per share from DKK 0.10 to DKK 0.08

As part of an announced decision to carry out a partially secured unit rights issue, the Board of Directors proposes to decrease the share capital of the Company by 20%, corresponding to a reduction of DKK 1,828,985.58 from DKK 9,144,927.90 to DKK 7,315,942.32 to cover financial losses.As part of the proposal the nominal value per share in Brain+ will be reduced with 20% from DKK 0.10 to DKK 0.08. The purpose of the combined proposal to decrease the share capital and the nominal value per share is to secure that the offered price of DKK 0.08 per new share in the announced unit rights issue will not be below the nominal value per share, while keeping the number of shares in the Company unchanged before and after the capital decrease.

Item 7 b): Proposal to increase the Company’s share capital and to issue warrants as part of an announced unit rights issue

As part of the announced unit rights issue the Board of Directors proposes to offer the opportunity to subscribe up to 10,161,031 units ("units") with pre-emptive rights for the company’s shareholders.

Each existing Brain+ share held will entitle the shareholder to receive one (1) unit right. Nine (9) unit rights will entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) unit, with each unit representing a bundle of eleven (11) new shares in Brain+ of a nominal value of DKK 0.08 each and nine (9) warrants of series TO 4.The offered subscription price per unit is DKK 0.88 (11 shares of DKK 0.08 each). The warrants of series TO 4 are included with each unit free of charge.

Up to a maximum of 111,771,341 new shares in Brain+ can be issued in the announced rights issue. As mentioned above there will be a maximum of 10,161,031 units to be subscribed. Since each unit also has nine warrants attached, it means that a maximum of 91,449,279 warrants (10,161,031 units x 9) can be issued. The subscription of units shall be made in the period from 11 June 2024 to 24 June 2024 (both days included).

The warrants of series TO 4 may be exercised in the period from 16 September 2024 to 27 September 2024 (both days included). According to the board's proposal, each warrant of series TO 4 gives the holder the right to subscribe for one new Brain+ share of nominal value DKK 0.08 at a price equal to seventy (70) percent of the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the company’s shares according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market's official price statistics during the period of 20 consecutive trading days ending two (2) banking days before the exercise period begins. The Company will publish the exercise price for the TO 4 warrants in a company announcement one (1) day before the first day of the exercise period. The exercise price must be rounded to the nearest whole øre and shall not exceed DKK 0.10 or fall below DKK 0.08.

Subsequent to approval of the unit rights issue at the AGM, the warrants of series TO 4 will be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Copenhagen, Denmark.

To the extent legally possible, the Board of Directors is entitled to extend the subscription and payment period.

In the event of an oversubscription of units, i.e. that more units are subscribed than the offered number based on unit rights, the Board of Directors shall allocate the units in accordance with the following principles of allocation:

  1. Subscription with support of pre-emptive unit right.
  2. Subscription without support of pre-emptive unit right.
  3. Guarantors of the bottom-up guarantee.
  4. Guarantors of the top-down guarantee.
The new shares:
  1. Shall belong to the existing share class and be paid in full against cash payment and/or conversion of debt.
  2. Entitle the holders to dividends and other rights in the Company from the time of registration of the new shares with the Danish Business Authority.
  3. Have a nominal value per share of DKK 0.08.
  4. Carry no special rights.

  6. Have no general restrictions applicable in relation to the preferential subscription rights attached to the new shares in relation to future capital increases.

VAT) in case that all offered shares and warrants are subscribed/exercised.The specific terms governing the subscription and exercise of the warrants of series TO 4, and the related increase of the share capital, are set out in the terms for the warrants, which will be an integral part of the Company’s Articles of Association (schedule 1).
