Announcement no. 15
Notice convening the extraordinary general meeting of Pharma Equity Group A/S
The board of directors hereby convenes an extraordinary general meeting in Pharma Equity Group A/S ("PEG" or the "Company") to be held on:
3 June 2024, at 15:30 CEST
at
Wihlborg's Canteens
Slotsmarken 15
DK-2970 Hørsholm
The agenda for the extraordinary general meeting is as follows:
- Proposal to reduce the Company's share capital
- Authorization to the chair of the general meeting
Item 1 – Proposal to reduce the Company's share capital
The board of directors proposes to reduce the Company's share capital by a nominal value of DKK 920,667,494.7 from a nominal value of DKK 1,022,963,883.00 to a nominal value of DKK 102,296,388.3. The capital reduction does not affect the number of outstanding shares or voting rights in the Company, and, consequently, does not affect the individual investor's number of shares or voting rights.
The capital reduction will be made by allocation to a specific reserve pursuant to section 188(1)(3) of the Danish Companies Act. The capital reduction is made at par rate corresponding to a total value of DKK 920,667,494.7.
The capital reduction will be made by a proportional reduction of the denomination of all the Company's shares, meaning that the denomination of the shares will be reduced from DKK 1.00 to DKK 0.1. The resolution will not result in any payout or dividends to the shareholders.
Prior to the execution of the capital reduction, the Company's creditors will be requested to give notice on any claims against the company for a period of four weeks. The request will be published in the Danish Business Authority's IT-system.
The specific reserve will be free reserves.
As a result of the proposal, article 3.1 in the Company's articles of association will, after the execution of the capital reduction, have the following complete wording:
"3.1 the company's share capital is DKK 102,296,388.3 divided into 1,022,963,883.00 shares of DKK 0.1 each."
Furthermore, as a consequence of the capital reduction, all references in the articles of association to shares of DKK 1 will be changed to shares of DKK 0.1 and the authorizations will be reduced proportionally, in each case as set out in the draft articles of associations attached hereto.
Item 2 – Authorization to the chair of the general meeting
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the chair of the general meeting, with a right of substitution, to file the resolutions adopted with the Danish Business Authority and to make any such amendments as the Danish Business Authority may require in order to register or approve the resolutions adopted.
