- Proposal for issuing authorisations to the Board of Directors for
(a) Capital increase without preemptive rights
Adoption is proposed of the following authorisation for the Board of Directors to issue shares without preemptive rights for the shareholders. The authorisation replaces the existing authorisation in Section 4d of the Articles of Association:
"At the company's Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2023, the Board of Directors was authorised to expand the company capital by up to an additional nominal DKK 1,500,000, one or more times, without preemptive rights for current capital owners. The subscription must be made at the market rate, and this is determined by the Board of Directors. In the case of market price, a price within the level of +/- 10 per cent in relation to the price of the company's shares on the Spotlight Stock Market is considered.
The new shares must be negotiable instruments. Shares must be registered. The same restrictions on their transferability must apply as for the existing ones. No new capital owner shall be obliged to have his/her shares redeemed. The new shares shall be issued in a denomination with a nominal value of DKK 0.75 and must have the same rights in the company as the old shares.
The capital increase must take place by issuing new shares against a cash payment.
This authorisation is valid until 26 November 2028.
The rights of the new shares, including the right to vote, take effect from the time the shares are fully paid up.
The Board of Directors must make the changes to the company's Articles of Association that are a necessary consequence of the completed capital increase(s), including revocation of this authorisation when the authorisation has been used in full or when the deadline has therefore expired."
(b) Capital increase with preemptive rights
Adoption is proposed of the following authorisation for the Board of Directors to issue shares with preemptive rights for the shareholders. The authorisation replaces the existing authorisation in Section 4e of the Articles of Association:
"At the company's Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2023, the Board of Directors is authorised to expand the company capital one or more times by up to an additional nominal DKK 1,500,000, with preemptive rights for current capital owners. The subscription must take place at the market rate, and this shall be determined by the Board of Directors. In the case of market price, a price within the level of +/- 10 per cent in relation to the price of the company's shares on the Spotlight Stock Market is considered.
The new shares must be negotiable instruments. Shares must be registered. The same restrictions on their transferability must apply as for the existing ones. No new capital owner shall be obliged to have his/her shares redeemed. The new shares shall be issued in a denomination with a nominal value of DKK 0.75 and must have the same rights in the company as the old shares.
The capital increase must take place by issuing new shares against a cash payment.
This authorisation is valid until 26 November 2028.
The rights of the new shares, including the right to vote, take effect from the time the shares are fully paid up.
The Board of Directors must make the changes to the company's Articles of Association that are a necessary consequence of the completed capital increase(s), including revocation of this authorisation when the authorisation has been used in full or when the deadline has therefore expired."
(c) Issuance of convertible debentures
Adoption is proposed of the following authorisation for the Board of Directors to issue convertible debentures without preemptive rights for the shareholders (as well as to decide on the capital increase following utilisation of the convertible debentures). The authorisation replaces the existing authorisation in Section 4f of the Articles of Association:
"By decision of the Board of Directors, the company may, on one or more occasions, take out loans against debentures that give the lender the right to convert its claim into shares in the company.
This authorisation is valid until 26 November 2028. Loans can be made both by cash payment and via other means, just as the preemptive rights of the previous shareholders shall not apply.
As per the decision of the Board of Directors, the company's capital can be increased one or more times by nom. DKK 750,000 by conversion of the convertible debentures issued by the company in accordance with the above authorisation into shares of nom. DKK 0.75. The lender is granted preemptive rights to the shares issued in connection with the conversion. The new shares must be negotiable instruments and must be registered. The same restrictions on the transferability of the new shares must apply as apply to the existing shares in the company. The conversion rate must be set at the market rate, and this shall be set by the board of directors.
For loans taken out in accordance with the authorisation, the conditions laid down by the board also apply, cf. Section 169 (2) and (3) of the Companies Act.”

- Orientation regarding remuneration policy
As is indicated in Section 11, paragraph 2 of the Articles of Association, the General Meeting on 23 April 2018 approved guidelines for the company's incentive remuneration of the company's management. The provision in question of the Articles of Association has been introduced with reference to Section 139 of the Companies Act, which however, does not apply to the company, and for this reason, the provision in question was removed.
Instead, the board informs about the company's current remuneration policy.
- No items were submitted to be processed under other business.
If all the above proposals for authorisations and changes to the Articles of Association are adopted, the company's Articles of Association will look like the accompanying draft articles of association from 27 November 2023 with all changes crossed out.
