The capital reduction will be effected at a price per share of DKK 0.352, which is the price paid for the shares purchased under the share buy-back offer, corresponding to a total reduction of DKK 5,886,275.30. The capital reduction will be effected on the following terms: 1. The share capital is reduced from a nominal amount of DKK 10,883,281.36 to a nominal amount of DKK 4,997,006.06, i.e. the nominal amount of the reduction is DKK 5,886,275.30. 2.
