Notice is hereby given that the extraordinary general meeting will convene in
Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S at 10.00 a.m. on Friday 29 May 2009, at the
Company's address 52, Strandvejen, DK-2900 Hellerup. As the general meeting is

AGENDA:

A. Final adoption of items F.2 and F.3 on the agenda of the ordinary general
   meeting on 23 April 2009, see the events on the ordinary general meeting. 

   Proposals from the Board of Directors for:

   Amendment of article 5.8 in the Company's articles of association to the
   following wording: 

   The Company's register of shareholders shall be kept by VP Investor Services
   A/S (VP Services A/S), Weidekampsgade 14, P.O. Box 4040, DK-2300 København
   S., which has been appointed as the share registrar on behalf of the
   Company. 

   The amendment is editorial and is due to the change of address of VP Investor
   Services A/S. 

   Amendment of articles 5.6, 5.7 and 8.1 in the Company's articles of
   association so that “Værdipapircentralen” is replaced with “VP SECURITIES
   A/S”. 

   The amendment is editorial and is due to the change of name of
   Værdipapircentralen. 

B. Authorisation to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or whomever he may
   appoint, to carry out filings with the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency
   and to make such changes - including amendments in the prepared documents -
   as may be requested by the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency or other
   authority as a condition for registration. 

The proposals under item A of the agenda were adopted unanimously at the
ordinary general meeting on 23 April 2009. Since less than two-thirds of the
voting share capital were represented at the ordinary general meeting on 23
April 2009, the Board of Directors hereby convenes this extraordinary general
meeting, see article 9.2 of the articles of association. For the adoption of
the proposals under item A of the agenda, twothirds of both the votes cast and
of the voting share capital represented shall vote in favour, irrespective of
the size of the represented share capital, see article 9.2 of the articles of
association. 

With reference to section 73(5) of the Danish Public Companies Act please be
informed that: 

The Company's share capital is DKK 44,600,000 divided into shares of DKK 1
each. Each share of DKK 1 will carry one vote at the general meeting.
Shareholders who have acquired shares through transfer are not entitled to vote
based on those shares, unless, before the general meeting was convened, the
shares have either been registered in the register of shareholders or the
shareholder has notified and produced evidence of his acquisition. The right to
vote may be carried out by proxy under a written and dated proxy granted for a
period of no more than 12 months. 

The agenda and the complete proposals are also available at the Company's
website www.ds-norden.com. No later than 8 days before the general meeting,
the agenda with the complete proposals will be available for inspection by the
shareholders at the Company's office. 

All registered shareholders will - by ordinary mail - be sent the agenda with
the complete proposals, including order for admission cards and a proxy form. 

Admission and voting cards can be ordered with VP Investor Services A/S, phone
+45 4358 8866, or at the Company's website (www.ds-norden.com) against
identification no later than 25 May 2009 at 3.30 p.m., see article 8 of the
articles of association. Shareholders who are unable to attend the general
meeting can authorise the Chairman of the Board of Directors to vote on their
behalf. All registered shareholders will - as mentioned above - receive a proxy
form which must be returned to VP Investor Services A/S. Proxies - including
proxies authorising the Chairman of the Board to vote - based on the proxy form
distributed by the Company for the ordinary general meeting on 23 April 2009
are also valid for this extraordinary general meeting. 


                                 Kind regards,
                        Dampskibsselskabet NORDEN A/S
