- to allow the Company to acquire its own shares at a nominal value of up to 10
per cent of the share capital of the Company, see Section 48 of the Danish
Companies Act (aktieselskabsloven). The purchase price for the shares in
question must not deviate by more than 10 per cent from the price quoted on
NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S at the time of acquisition. If the shares are not
listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S at the time of acquisition, the purchase
price must not deviate by more than 10 per cent from the market price of the
shares at the time of acquisition.
• The following amendments to the Company's Articles of Association were
adopted:
- The authorisation of the Board of Directors to increase the share capital as
provided by Article 4a of the Articles of Association was extended until March
18, 2014.
- In Article 5(4), second sentence, of the Articles of Association “the
Copenhagen Stock Exchange” was changed to “NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S”.
- A new address of the keeper of the Company's Register of Shareholders was
inserted into Article 5(5) of the Articles of Association.
- A new Article 22 on communication with the Company's shareholders was
inserted into the Articles of Association. The new provision in the Articles of
Association enables the Company to communicate with the shareholders by e-mail.
As a consequence of the above, Article 6(1), second sentence, of the Articles
of Association was changed so that the provision does no longer prescribe that
notice to General Meetings shall be sent by letter.
At a board meeting held in immediate continuation of the General Meeting, the
Board of Directors constituted itself with Vagn Sørensen as Chairman and Pierre
Danon as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.
