In accordance with article 9.1 of the company's articles of association, the board of directors has prepared the following agenda: | ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
| ||
The board of directors has submitted the following proposed resolutions: | ||
| ||
| ||
|
| |
Elaboration on selected agenda items | ||
Re agenda item 2 | ||
The board of directors proposes that the audited annual report for the financial year 2021 be approved. | ||
Re agenda item 3 | ||
The board of directors proposes that the results in accordance with the approved annual report for the financial year 2021 be transferred to the financial year 2022. | ||
Re agenda item 4 | ||
The board of directors proposes that the remuneration report for the financial year 2021 be adopted. | ||
Re agenda item 5 | ||
The board of directors proposes that Anita Nassar, Pradeep Pattem, Ohene Aku Kwapong and Claes Peter Rading be re-elected to the board of directors. | ||
Re agenda item 6 | ||
Based on the recommendation from the audit committee, the board of directors proposes that PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab, CVR no. 33771231 (PWC) be re-elected as the company's auditor. The audit committee has confirmed that the committee has not been influenced by any third party and that the committee has not been subject to any agreements restricting the general meeting's election of auditors to certain categories or lists of auditors or auditing firms. | ||
Re agenda item 7a | ||
The board of directors proposes that 2,137,939 class B shares of nominal value DKK 1.00 be converted into 2,137,939 class A shares with nominal value DKK 1.00 to be admitted to trading and listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen, and that the board of directors be authorised to submit an application for admission to trading and listing of 2,137,939 class A shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen to the stock exchange and to amend the articles of association accordingly. As the class B shares (to be converted into class A shares) to be admitted to trading and listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen represent less than 20 % of the company's class A share capital already admitted to trading and listed (after registration of the capital reduction proposed in item 7b below), the company is exempted from the statutory obligation to prepare and file a prospectus according to Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 (Prospectus Regulation). The remaining 44,347,935 class B shares will remain as non-listed class B shares. Increasing the base of available class A shares improves the liquidity for class A shares and could facilitate expanding the investor base for the company. | ||
Re agenda item 7b | ||
The board of directors, in order to maintain flexibility in relation to the company’s capital structure, proposes to reduce the company's share capital from DKK 67,513,732 (divided into DKK 12,027,858 class A shares of DKK 1.00 and DKK 55,485,874 class B shares of nominal value DKK 1.00) to DKK 57,175,572 (divided into DKK 10,689,698 class A shares of DKK 1.00 and DKK 46,485,874 class B shares of nominal value DKK 1.00) by annulment of 1,338,160 class A shares of nominal value DKK 1.00 and 9,000,000 class B shares of nominal value DKK 1.00 repurchased by the company under the share buy-back programmes launched by the company on 25 February 2022 and on 10 October 2020. In accordance with section 188 of the Danish Companies Act, the amount from the share capital reduction will be used as distribution to shareholders per the share buyback program. Consequently, upon such share capital reduction, the company will no longer hold any class A treasury shares nor any class B treasury shares. | ||
Re agenda item 7c As a consequence of items 7a and 7b, the board of directors proposes that section 3.1 of the articles of association is amended to the following wording: "The Company's share capital is DKK 57,175,572, divided into DKK 10,689,698 class A shares of DKK 1.00 each or multiples thereof and 46,485,874 class B shares of DKK 1.00 or multiples thereof. The share capital is fully paid up." As a consequence of the company changing name and website, the board of directors proposes that 19.1 of the articles of association is amended to the following wording: "Any communication from the Company to the individual shareholders shall be by electronic mail (e-mail), and notices convening General Meetings shall be available to the shareholders at the Company’s homepage, www.psnas.com, unless otherwise specifically stipulated in the legislation. The Company shall, however, in connection with each communication to the shareholders choose to use ordinary post as an alternative to electronic communication.
