The agenda for the extraordinary general meeting is as follows:
|
Proposed resolution to change the nominal value of the shares of the Company by way of a reverse share split (proposed by the board of directors) |
Pursuant to art. 12.20 of the Company’s articles of association, the Board of Directors appoints Attorney-at-law Michael Kristensen as chairman of the meeting.
Complete agenda:
Re 1: Proposed resolution to change the nominal value of the shares of the Company by way of a reverse share split
The Board of Directors proposes to change the nominal value of the Company’s shares through a reverse share split at a consolidation ratio of 1,000:1, to the effect that every 1,000 of the Company’s shares each with a nominal value of DKK 0.001 will be consolidated into 1 new share with a nominal value of DKK 1.
The reverse share split implies that for every 1,000 shares (under ISIN code DK0061410487) (i.e. shares with a current nominal value of DKK 0.001) one (1) share will be granted (with a nominal value of DKK 1). Shareholdings below 1,000 shares and excess shares (i.e. any remaining shares that cannot be consolidated into a whole number of shares) will be redeemed in cash by the Company as described below.
The cash payment will be paid out to the accounts associated with the share deposit account. Consolidation and redemption will be completed following expiry of a redemption period of four weeks after the general meeting.
Following the general meeting’s adoption of the reverse share split, a mandatory four-week redemption period will initiate. During the redemption period, trading in the Company’s shares will continue in the ordinary course and shareholders will have the opportunity to buy and sell existing shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.001 each, including for the purpose of owning enough shares to match the above-mentioned conversion ratio before the redemption and share consolidation take effect (in order to avoid any redemption of shares).
After expiration of the four-week redemption period, any shareholder’s holdings of shares below 1,000 shares, as well as any excess shares (calculated on an “after consolidation” basis, i.e. shares which cannot consolidate into a whole new share of nominally DKK 1), will be redeemed by the Company in accordance with the principles of the Danish Companies Act §§ 70 - 72 at a price of DKK 0.0023 per share with a nominal value of DKK 0.001. The redemption price is equivalent to the market price determined as the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares over the last 5 trading days up to (but not including) today (i.e. during the period 23 December 2024 - 3 January 2025).
The cash payment will be made to each shareholder's account associated with the respective share deposit.
Following the Company’s redemption, the redeemed shares will be consolidated into new shares of nominally DKK 1 each, except for the (234) excess number of redeemed shares insufficient to match the consolidation-ratio which will continue to have a nominal value of DKK 0.001. The shares redeemed will be kept as part of the Company’s treasury shareholdings (in Danish: egne aktier), and the (234) excess number of redeemed shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.001 each are expected to be cancelled through a capital reduction at the annual general meeting 2025.
The new shares (of a nominal value of DKK 1) issued as a result of the consolidation will be issued under a new permanent ISIN code at Euronext Securities (VP SECURITIES A/S) and admitted to trading and official listing on Spotlight Stock Market. The expected dates for redemption and issuance in Euronext Securities, as well as the admission to trading and official listing of the new permanent ISIN code on Nasdaq Copenhagen, will be announced in connection with the publication of the statutory four-week redemption notice. After the completion of the share consolidation, all shareholders will receive an updated statement from Euronext Securities, indicating the new number of shares in their share deposit account each with a nominal value of DKK 1.
As part of this proposal, the board of directors is authorized to acquire treasury shares (in Danish: egne aktier) by way of redemption as set out above, cf. section 198 of the Danish Companies Act. The maximum nominal value of the shares to be acquired is DKK 3,991,101, and the price per share of nominally DKK 0.001 shall be minimum DKK 0.001 and maximum DKK 1. This authorization terminates on 31 December 2026.
Adoption of this proposal will result in consequential amendments of articles 3.2 and 4.1 of the articles of association. These articles will consequently be worded as follows:
3.2. |
Selskabskapitalen er fordelt på (i) 3.991.101 kapitalandele med en nominel værdi på 1 kr. pr. kapitalandel og (ii) 234 kapitalandele med en nominel værdi på 0,001 kr. pr. kapitalandel.
|
|
The share capital is divided into (i) 3,991,101 shares of a nominal value of DKK 1 per share and (ii) 234 shares of a nominal value of DKK 0.001 per share.
|
4.1. |
Hvert aktiebeløb med en nominel værdi på 1 kr. giver ret til én stemme på generalforsamlingen. |
|
Each share of a nominal value of DKK 1 carries the right to one (1) vote at general meetings. |
|
|
|
|
Additionally, adoption of this proposal will result in consequential amendments to articles 4.4 (regarding issue through VP Securities A/S) and 6 and 7 and Schedules A, 6.1.1 and 6.8.1 (regarding warrants and authorisations to issue warrants) as further set out in draft new articles of association attached as Schedule 1 to this notice (where the amendments following from adoption of the proposal are marked up).
Majority requirements
Adoption of the proposal set out in item 1 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.
