Minutes of the extraordinary general meeting 14 January 2011
An extraordinary general meeting of Rockwool International A/S was held on 14 January 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at the address of the company.
The following was adopted by the general meeting:
- The general meeting adopted the board of directors’ proposal to cancel the dividend preference of the class B shares by deletion of article 3.j. and amendment of article 3.e. of the Articles of Association of the company.
- The general meeting discussed the board of directors’ proposal for the partial merger of up to 16 % of the company’s class A share capital with the class B share capital by re-registration of up to a total of 2,085,338 of the company’s class A shares to class B shares by amendment of article 3.a. of the Articles of Association.
At the expiry of the time limit on 13 January 2011, a total of 1.841.173 class A shares had been transferred to a deposit account in Danske Bank in order to participate in the re-registration. As the amount was lower than the proposed limit of 2,085,338 class A shares, the general meeting adopted that all 1.841.173 transferred class A shares are altered to class B shares, corresponding to approximately 14 % of the company’s class A share class being altered to class B share capital.
As a consequence of the decision the company’s share capital and voting rights are as follows:
| Share capital |
Nominal value after re-registration (Nominal value prior to re-registration) |
Amount of shares after re-registration (Amount of shares prior to re-registration) |
