Tuesday 21 April 2009, Brødrene Hartmann A/S held its ordinary Annual
General Meeting. The Chairman and the Executive Board reported on
2008, and the Annual Report for 2008 was approved.
The annual general meeting adopted the report given by the Chairman
of the Board.
The report contained the information already communicated to NASDAQ
OMX Copenhagen in the company's electronic Annual Report 2008 on 19
March 2009.
The Annual Report 2008 was approved.
The proposal from the Board of Directors to the effect that no
dividend be declared for FY 2008 was adopted.
Erik Højsholt, Walther Vishof Paulsen, Peter-Ulrik Plesner and Niels
Hermansen were re-elected to the Board.
The amount in emolument to the Board of Directors for 2009 was
approved and remains unchanged from the 2008 level.
Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionsaktieselskab was elected future
auditor of the company, thereby replacing KPMG Statsautoriseret
Revisionspartnerselskab.
The proposal from the Board of Directors for an amendment to article
4(1) of the Articles of Association was adopted with the support of
two thirds of both the votes cast and the voting stock represented at
the meeting. To be adopted, the proposal requires the representation
at the AGM of two thirds of the share capital. As that was not the
case, a new general meeting will be convened as soon as possible at
which the proposal may be adopted by two thirds of the votes cast
regardless of the size of the share capital represented at the
meeting.
The Board's proposals for amendments to articles 4a(1), 6(1) and
12(2) were adopted.
The Board of Directors was granted authority to let the company
acquire up to a total of 10% of the company's own shares in the
period until 21 October 2010 at the price listed at the stock
exchange at the time of acquisition, plus/minus maximum 10%.
The proposal from the Board of Directors concerning changes in the
general guidelines for incentive pay was approved. In future, share
options cannot be allocated. On the other hand, it will be possible
to raise the limits for the cash amount available in
performance-related bonus. Article 17a of the Articles of Association
remains unchanged. The new guidelines will be made available on the
company's website without undue delay.
At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Directors, Erik Højsholt was
elected Chairman and Walther V. Paulsen was elected Deputy Chairman.
