Item 8.a Proposal to adopt a new authorization to issue warrants pursuant to a new article 4.24
The board of directors proposes that the current authorization to issue warrants is adopted. The proposed authorization will be of up to a nominal value of DKK 40,000. corresponding to 2,000,000 new shares of DKK 0.02 each and will be valid for a period of five years. The increaseThe volume of the new authorization approximately matches the nominal value of outstanding warrants with an exercise price over DKK 4,72.
Consequently, the proposed full wording of the new article 4.24, will be:
“4.24 At the annual general meeting on 24 March 2025, the company authorized the board of directors to issue warrants (options) on one or more occasions and to resolve the related capital increase. The authority is valid until 24 March 2030 and includes a total amount of up to a nominal value of DKK 40,000 corresponding to a total of up to 2,000,000 warrants.
For warrants issued pursuant to this authorization and for the related capital increases, the following shall apply:
- Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share of a nominal value of DKK 0.02 in the company, partial payment cannot be carried out; the company's shareholders shall not have pre-emptive rights to the issued warrants, the shareholders shall not have pre-emptive rights to the shares which are subscribed based on the warrants concerned, the new shares issued as a result of exercise of warrants shall be negotiable instruments, the new shares shall be registered in the holder’s name and recorded in the company’s shareholders register shares, no restrictions on negotiability of the new shares and no obligations on redemption of the new shares shall apply.
- The terms for the issuance of warrants are determined by the board of directors, including the rules on the terms of exercise of warrants, the exercise price in event of exercise of the warrants, as well as the recipients' legal position in the event of capital increase, capital reduction, issuance of new warrants, issuance of convertible debt instruments and the company's dissolution, merger or division before the exercise date. When issuing warrants to others than employees of the company, the exercise price cannot be lower than market price at the time of issuance of the warrants.
- The board of directors determines the other terms of the implementation of the capital increase, including the timing of the rights to the new shares.
- The board of directors may in accordance with the Danish Companies Act reuse or reissue any expired or unexercised warrants, provided that the reuse takes place within the terms and time limits set out in the above authorization. Reuse means the right of the board to allow another party to enter into an already existing agreement on warrants. Reissue means the ability of the board of directors to reissue new warrants within the same authorization if the warrants already issued have lapsed.
- The resolution of the board of directors to issue warrants shall be included in the articles of association. The board of directors is authorized to make the related amendments to the articles of association.”
Item 8.b Proposal to increase the authorization to issue new shares without pre-emption rights
Pursuant to article 3.1.2 of the company's articles of association, the board of directors may decide to increase the share capital on one or more occasions by issuing new shares of a nominal value of up to DKK 494.729.42, of which DKK 167.639,54 remain unused.
To ensure full flexibility for the board of directors to achieve further growth based on capital increases as well as acquisitions paid with MapsPeople shares, the board of directors proposes that the total nominal value of the authorization be increased with a nominal value of DKK 705,270.58 to a total nominal value of DKK 1,200,000.00 of which a nominal value of DKK 872,910.12 remain unused. No other changes are proposed.
Consequently, the proposed full wording of article 3.1.2, first paragraph, and article 3.3.1 will be:
“3.1.2 Until 26 April 2026, the share capital may, by resolution of the board of directors, be increased on one or more occasions by way of subscription of new shares of a nominal value of up to DKK 1,200,000.00
[…]
- On 13 November 2024 the board of directors resolved to use the authorization according to this section 3.1.2 and issue shares for nominally DKK 32,360.46. Consequently, DKK 872,910.12 of the authorization remains
[…]
3.3.1 The total nominal capital increase which the board of directors may resolve in accordance with section 3.1.2 and 3.2.1, may not exceed a nominal value of DKK 1.850,000.”
