Agenda
At the Annual General Meeting on 21 April 2009, the Board of Directors proposed the adoption of the amendment to the Articles of Association set out below. The proposal for an amendment to the Articles of Association was carried by two thirds of the votes cast as well as of the voting stock represented at the meeting.
However, as the share capital represented at the Annual General Meeting accounted for less than two thirds of the total share capital, a new general meeting is hereby convened at which the proposal may be finally adopted by two thirds of the votes cast regardless of the size of the share capital represented at the meeting, see article 12(7) of the Articles of Association.
Proposal for an amendment to the Articles of Association:
(i) Proposal from the Board of Directors concerning an amendment to art. 4(1) of the Articles of Association
Elaboration of the proposal
Re item (i) of the agenda:
Proposal from the Board of Directors for a change in the wording of art. 4(1) of the Articles of Association into the following:
"The share capital of the company amounts to DKK 140,301,800. The share capital
is divided into shares of DKK 20 or multiples thereof. The shares are listed on
NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S and are issued through VP Securities A/S".
The proposal is reflective of the official name change made by OMX Nordic
Exchange Copenhagen and VP Securities Services.
The general meeting authorises the Chairman of the meeting to notify the resolution to the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency and to effect any changes in the resolution made, in the minutes of the AGM and in the draft amendments, as well as any other changes as may be required for the resolution made by the general meeting to be accepted for registration by the Commerce and Companies Agency.
