   A. Proposal from the Board of Directors that the Company's share capital be
      reduced by nominally DKK 1,475,000 through cancellation of 1,475,000
      treasury shares. The reduction amount is regarded as distributed among 
      the shareholders according to section 44a, sub-section 1, article 2, 
      of the Danish Public Companies Act. The Company's total purchase price 
      for the treasury shares to be cancelled amounts to DKK 245,332,926, 
      corresponding to an average purchase price of DKK 166.33 per share 
      of DKK 1. 

      In connection with the capital reduction, Article 4(a) of the Articles 
      of Association will be amended as follows: "The Company's share capital 
      is DKK 44,600,000 divided into shares of DKK 1 each." 

The proposal was adopted by the extraordinary general meeting on 23 May 2007.
Since less than two-thirds of the potential votes corresponding to the entire
share capital were represented, the Board of Directors hereby convenes this
extraordinary general meeting, see Article 11 c) of the Articles of
Association. For the adoption of the amendments of the Articles of Association
under item 1 A. of the agenda, two-thirds of both the votes cast and of the
voting share capital represented
