The General Meeting approved a Proposal to reduce the Share capital of the Company with the nominal value DKK 366,088,140 from the nominal value of DKK 369,786,000 to the nominal value of DKK 3,697,860 by reducing the nominal value of the individual shares of the Company to 1% of its original nominal value or from DKK 100 or multipla thereof to DKK 1 or multipla thereof. The share capital reduction and the connected reduction of nominal value is expected to be implemented on Nasdaq Copenhagen, Oslo Stock Exchange and VP securities as soon as possible. Shareholders will receive further information on this from VP Securities. The share capital reduction will not have any consequences for the share owned by each shareholder. For example a shareholder holding 100 shares before the change will still own 100 shares going forward, and the total number of shares and the distribution among the shareholders will not change and each share in Atlantic Petroleum will continue to represent an unchanged proportion of the company’s equity.
