Proposal from the Board of Directors that the Company's share capital be

In connection with the capital reduction, § 4(a) of the Articles of Association

divided into shares of DKK 1 each."
For the adoption of the proposal for the amendments of the Articles of
Association under item A. of the agenda, two-thirds of the potential votes
corresponding to the entire share capital shall be represented at the general
meeting, and two-thirds of both the votes cast and of the voting share capital
represented at the general meeting shall vote in favour of the amendments, see
Article 11(b) of the Articles of Association. If a sufficient number of votes

of Association shall be considered to be adopted, if two-thirds of both the
votes cast and of the voting share capital represented vote in favour,
