Re 1
It was proposed that the board of directors, pursuant to clause 155 of the Danish Companies Act, in the period until 1 May 2028 is authorised to issue shares in the Company and thereby increase the share capital in one or more issues of new shares without pre-emption rights for the Company’s shareholders by up to a nominal amount of DKK 2,517,946.6875. The capital increase can be by way of cash contribution, contribution in kind and/or conversion of debt (to be decided by the Board of Directors).
The capital increase can be below market price.
Shares issued pursuant to this authorisation shall be issued in the name of the holder and registered in the Company’s register of shareholders, be fully paid up, be negotiable instruments, there shall be no restrictions on the negotiability of the shares, and the shares shall in every respect carry the same rights as the existing shares.
The board of directors is authorised to lay down the terms and conditions for the capital increases pursuant to the above authorisation and to make such amendments to the Company’s articles of association as may be required as a result of the Board of Directors’ exercise of said authorisation.
Adoption of the proposal will imply that a new clause 5.6 is inserted in the articles of association and clause 5.7 (previously clause 5.6) shall be amended. Draft new articles of association were presented.
Shareholders holding a total of 2,487,075 votes voted against the proposal, shareholders holding a total of 5,913,693 votes voted for the proposal, and shareholders holding a total of 70,000 votes abstained from voting.
The proposal was not adopted, as adoption of the proposal requires that the proposal is passed by at least 9/10 of the votes cast as well as 9/10 of the share capital represented at the general meeting.
Re 2
It was proposed to authorise the Board of Directors in one or more tranches and in the period until 1 May 2028 to issue warrants granting the right to subscribe for up to 80,000,000 shares of nominally DKK 0.0375, i.e. up to a total of nominally DKK 3,000,000 shares in the Company, and to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve the related capital increase.
The warrants can be issued without pre-emption rights for the Company’s shareholders. The warrants can be issued below market price.
Warrants, which lapse unexercised or are returned to the Company, can be reissued pursuant to and on the terms in this authorisation.
Shares that are subscribed for on the basis of warrants issued pursuant to this autorisation shall be issued in the name of the holder and registered in the Company’s register of shareholders, be fully paid up, be negotiable instruments, there shall be no restrictions on the negotiability of the shares, and the shares shall in every respect carry the same rights as the existing shares.
It was further proposed to authorise the Board of Directors to lay down the more specific conditions for the distribution and issuance of the said warrants.
Adoption of the proposal will imply that a new clause 6.8 is inserted in the articles of association and that clause 6.10 (previously clause 6.8) is amended. Draft new articles of association (Schedule 1 to these minutes) were presented.
The proposed resolution was adopted unanimously with all votes cast.
Re 3

The maximum amount, by which the share capital of the Company can be increased based on the convertible debt instruments, is nominally DKK 18,900,000.
The convertible debt instruments can be issued without pre-emption rights for the Company’s shareholders. The convertible debt instruments can be issued below market price, and the conversion price can be below market price.
Shares that are subscribed for on the basis of convertible debt instruments issued pursuant to this autorisation shall be issued in the name of the holder and registered in the Company’s register of shareholders, be fully paid up, be negotiable instruments, there shall be no restrictions on the negotiability of the shares, and the shares shall in every respect carry the same rights as the existing shares.
It is further proposed to authorise the Board of Directors to lay down the more specific conditions for the distribution and issuance and other terms of the convertible debt instruments.
Adoption of the proposal will imply that a new clause 6.9 is inserted in the articles of association and that clause 6.10 (previously clause 6.8) is amended. Draft new articles of association (Schedule 1 to these minutes) were presented.
The proposed resolution was adopted unanimously with all votes cast.
Re 4
It was proposed to issue 7,500,000 warrants, each granting the right to subscribe for one (1) share of nominally DKK 0.0375 and to resolve the related capital increase.

- Morten Martinsen - Subscription for the warrants is for the employee conditioned that the employee is still in employment (Danish: være i uopsagt stilling) with the Company or its subsidiary, as applicable, as at the date of subscription.
- Exercise of these warrants is for each warrant holder conditioned that the warrant holder – neither in part nor in full – exercises any other warrants that it holds as part of the existing incentive programs in the Company as at the date of this extraordinary general meeting.
- Subscription for the warrants must be completed no later than five (5) days after the general meeting, i.e. on 25 June 2023.

- The Company shall pay the costs relating to the related capital increase, which are estimated at DKK 25,000 exclusive of VAT.
