Announcement Notice convening extraordinary general meeting in NeuroSearch A/S Pursuant to article 10 of the Articles of Association, notice is hereby given of the extraordinary general meeting of NeuroSearch A/S to be held on Friday, 21 December 2007 at 10.00 am at the registered office of the Company, Pederstrupvej 93, DK-2750 Ballerup. The agenda of the meeting is as follows: 1. Authorisation to the Board of Directors to increase the Company's share capital The Board of Directors proposes that Article 5 of the Articles of Association be replaced by the following new Article 5 authorising the Board of Directors to increase the Company's share capital: “During the period ending on 31 December 2011, the Board of Directors is authorised to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues of a total nominal sum of up to DKK 76,000,000 (3,800,000 shares of DKK 20). The share capital may be increased by cash payment or by other means. If the share capital is increased by cash payment at a subscription price lower than the value of the shares, the existing shareholders are entitled to a right of pre-emption in respect of the amount of the capital increase in proportion to their shareholdings. If the share capital is increased by cash payment otherwise than specified in Article 5(3), above, or is increased by other means, including by debt conversion or in payment of a contribution of assets other than cash, the Company's existing shareholders shall not be entitled to any right of pre-emption. If the share capital is increased by other means than cash, the provisions of section 33 of the Danish Companies Act (aktieselskabsloven) shall apply, and the subscription price or the value of the shares issued shall be fixed by the Board of Directors subject to the mandatory provisions of the Act, including sections 79 and 80 thereof. All terms and conditions governing the subscription for shares shall be stipulated by the Board of Directors. The new shares shall be negotiable instruments and shall be issued to bearer, but the shares may be registered in the names of the holders in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares, and no shareholder shall be required to have his shares redeemed in whole or in part. The shares shall carry the right to dividend as from the date fixed by the Board of Directors but no later than from the first financial year following the capital increase.” 2. Any other business The proposed resolution was adopted at the Company's extraordinary general meeting on 10 December 2007 by more than two-thirds of all votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at the extraordinary general meeting. However, since less than one half of the share capital was represented at the extraordinary general meeting the resolution could not be finally adopted. Pursuant to Article 16 of the Company's Articles of Association, resolutions passed by no less than two-thirds of the votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at the extraordinary general meeting can be finally adopted, if the resolutions are passed by no less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at a new extraordinary general meeting.
