- Authority to issue new shares (articles 4.2-4.4)

The extraordinary general meeting will convene on 21 March 2025 at 11:00 a.m. CET as a fully electronic extraordinary general meeting.
Before the capital reduction under item F3.a can be effected, it is required, in addition to adoption at an extraordinary general meeting, that the Company’s creditors, through the IT system of the Danish Business Authority, be asked to notify any claim prior to the deadline set out in the Danish Companies Act.
