10.a. Proposed amendments to the articles of association
The shareholders’ committee and the board of directors propose the following
amendments to the articles of association:
Art. 2a-2b:
It is proposed that the authorisations in articles 2a and 2b be extended to 3
March 2031.
If the proposal is approved, the wording of articles 2a and 2b of the bank’s
articles of association will be changed to the following:
Art. 2a:
“The general meeting has decided to authorise the board of directors to
increase the share capital in one or more rounds by up to nom. DKK 5,078,339
with right of pre-emption for the bank’s existing shareholders. The capital
increase shall be fully paid up in cash. The capital increase may be below the
market price. This authorisation shall apply until 3 March 2031.”
Art. 2b:
“The general meeting has decided to authorise the board of directors to
increase the share capital in one or more rounds by up to nom. DKK 2,539,169
without right of pre-emption for the bank’s existing shareholders. The
capital increase may be by cash payment or contribution of an existing company
or specific asset values corresponding to the value of the shares issued. The
capital increase shall be fully paid up at the market price ascertained by the
board of directors. This authorisation shall apply until 3 March 2031.”
It is noted that the authorisations in articles 2a and 2b remain subject to
the provisions of articles 2c-2e, including that the authorisations may, in
aggregate, be used to increase the share capital by a maximum of nominal DKK
5,078,339.
The background to the proposal is that the board of directors wants to ensure
continued flexibility regarding the granting of authorisations to the board of
directors.
The proposed amendments to the articles of association are also given in the
full proposals to which we refer and which are available on the bank’s
website, www.landbobanken.com.
10.b.Proposal to reduce the bank’s share capital by nom. DKK 1,108,147 by
cancellation of its own shares
The board of directors proposes a reduction in the bank’s share capital from
nom. DKK 25,391,697 to nom. DKK 24,283,550 by cancellation of 1,108,147 nom.
DKK 1 shares from the bank’s holding of its own shares of a nominal value of
DKK 1,108,147.
Please note that, in accordance with section 188(1) of the Danish Companies
Act, the purpose of the reduction in the bank’s share capital is payment to
shareholders. The amount of the reduction has been used as payment to
shareholders for shares acquired by the bank under the authorisation
previously granted to the board of directors by the general meeting.
The share capital will consequently be reduced by nom. DKK 1,108,147 and the
bank’s holding of its own shares will be reduced by 1,108,147 nom. DKK 1
shares. Please note that, in accordance with section 188(2) of the Danish
Companies Act, the shares in question were acquired for a total sum of DKK
1,499,984,166. This means that, apart from the reduction in nominal capital,
DKK 1,498,876,019 has been paid to shareholders.
The purpose of the board of directors’ proposed reduction of the share
capital is to maintain flexibility in the bank’s capital structure.
If the proposal is adopted, the following changes will be made to articles 2,
2a, 2b and 2c of the articles of association:
Art. 2: The amount of “25,391,697” will be changed to “24,283,550”,
Art. 2a: The amount of “5,078,339” will be changed to “4,856,710”,
Art. 2b: The amount of “2,539,169” will be changed to “2,428,355”, and
Art. 2c: The amount of “5,078,339” will be changed to “4,856,710”.
10.c. Proposed authorisation for the board of directors or its appointee
The board of directors proposes that the board of directors, or its appointee,
be authorised to report the decisions which have been adopted at the general
meeting for registration and to make such changes to the documents submitted
to the Danish Business Authority as the Authority may require or find
appropriate in connection with registration of the decisions of the general
meeting.
