The capital increase can be made by cash or by non-cash payment. Within the authorization to increase the share capital by nominally DKK 7,500,000 shares, the Board of Directors may on one or more occasions and without pre-emption rights for the existing shareholders of the Company issue up to nominally DKK 2,000,000 shares to employees of the Company and the Company’s directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries by cash payment at market price or at a discount price as well as by the issue of bonus shares. No transferability restrictions or redemption obligations shall apply to the new shares. The shares shall be negotiable instruments, issued in the name of the holder and registered in the name of the holder in the Company’s Register of Shareholders. The new shares shall give right to dividends and other rights as determined by the Board in its resolution to increase the capital.

Further, the Board of Directors is until April 10, 2023 authorized to increase the nominal registered share capital on one or more occasions with pre-emption rights for the existing shareholders by up to nominally DKK 7,500,000 by subscription of new shares that shall have the same rights as the existing shares of the Company.

In connection with the exercise of these authorizations, the Board of Directors may, however, not increase the nominal registered share capital by more than a total of DKK 7,500,000.

Warrants

§ 5.

By decision of the General Meeting on March 28, 2017 the Board of Directors is authorized to issue on one or more occasions warrants to subscribe the Company’s shares up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000 and to make the related capital increases in cash up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000. The Board of Directors has issued 346,337 warrants and re-issued 9,988 warrants under this authorization. This authorization shall remain in force for a period ending on March 28, 2022.

Furthermore, by decision of the General Meeting on March 29, 2019 the Board of Directors is authorized to issue on one or more occasions additional warrants to subscribe the Company’s shares up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000 to the Company's employees as well as employees of the Company’s directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries, excluding the Company's executive management, and to make the related capital increases in cash up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000. The Board of Directors has issued 88,271 warrants and re-issued 76 under this authorization. This authorization shall remain in force for a period ending on March 28, 2024.

The authorizations entitle the Board of Directors to issue warrants to the Company’s employees as well as employees of the Company’s directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries however, with the authorization of March 29, 2019 not comprising the Company's executive management. Subject to the rules in force at any time, the Board of Directors may re-use or re-issue lapsed nonexercised warrants, if any, provided that the re-use or re-issue occurs under the same terms and within the time limitations set out in this authorization. Re-use is to be construed as the Board of Directors' entitlement to let another party enter into an existing agreement on warrants. Re-issue is to be construed as the Board of Directors' option to re-issue new warrants under the same authorization, if previously issued warrants have lapsed. The existing shareholders of the Company shall not have a right of pre-emption in connection with the issue of warrants based on these authorizations. One warrant shall give the right to subscribe one share with a nominal value of DKK 1 at a subscription price per share determined by the Board of Directors

 

Page 4 of 52

 

which, however, shall be no less than the market price per share of the Company’s shares at the time of issue.

The exercise period for the issued warrants shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors is authorized to set out more detailed terms for the warrants that are to be issued based on these authorizations.

The existing shareholders of the Company shall not have a right of pre-emption in connection with issue of shares on the basis of warrants. The shares that are issued through the exercise of warrants shall have the same rights as existing shares cf. these Articles of Association.

 

The Board of Directors has exercised the above authorizations as stipulated in schedule A which is an integral part of these articles.

Convertible loans may be raised in DKK or the equivalent in foreign currency (including US dollar (USD) or euro (EUR)) computed at the rates of exchange ruling at the day of loan. The Board of Directors is also authorized to effect the consequential increase of the capital. Convertible loans may be raised against payment in cash or in other ways. The subscription of shares shall be without pre-emption rights for the shareholders and the convertible loans shall be offered at a subscription price and conversion price that in the aggregate at least corresponds to the market price of the shares at the time of the decision of the Board of Directors. The time limit for conversion may be fixed for a longer period than five (5) years after the raising of the convertible loan. The terms for raising of convertible loans as well as time and terms for the capital increase shall be decided by the Board of Directors in accordance with section 169 of the Companies Act. If the Board of Directors exercises the authorization new shares shall be negotiable instruments, issued in the name of the holder and carry dividend as of a date to be fixed by the Board of Directors. No restrictions shall apply as to the pre-emption right of the new shares, and shall rank pari passu with existing shares with respect to rights, redeemability and negotiability. The Board of Directors is authorized to amend the Articles of Association as necessary in connection with the capital increases being effected.

All warrants have been issued on the following terms and conditions:

 

A. General description of warrants.

 

A warrant means a right – but not an obligation – of the owner (the “Owner”) to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company at a price fixed in advance (the exercise price).

The Owner of the warrant can for a given period choose to subscribe for shares in the Company by paying the exercise price.

The warrant does not entitle the Owner to vote at the Company’s general meeting or to receive dividends.

 

Page 32 of 52

 

When a warrant is exercised, the value may be calculated as the difference between the market value of the shares subscribed and the exercise price. The value cannot become negative without the Owner’s acceptance because a warrant is a right – but not an obligation – to subscribe for shares in the Company. If the market price of the shares at the time of subscription is lower than the exercise price the Owner can abstain from subscribing for shares in the Company.

The Owner of the warrant is obligated to give notice to the Company of changes in the Owner’s contact information.

 

 

 

B. Conditions for exercise of Warrants.

 

The Warrants are not granted due to work already performed by the Owners, but are granted in order to motivate the Owners, as described below, during the years following the date of issue of the Warrants.

Thus, the Warrants are issued and granted in order to increase and motivate the Owners’ focus on a positive development of the market price of the shares of the Company and to motivate the Owners to work for a future value increase in the Company and its subsidiaries.

Consequently, the right to exercise the Warrants is earned during the following four years as set out in Clause II below.

 

(I) Exercise Price.

 

Warrants are issued to the Owner free of charge.

One Warrant entitles the Owner to subscribe for one ordinary share of a nominal value of DKK 1 at a price per share (the “Exercise Price”) determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issue, but which cannot be lower than the price of the Company’s shares as listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen at close of business on the day of issue by the Board of Directors (the “Date of Issue”).

 

(II) Exercise Period & Vesting Schedule.

 

(a) The Warrants will lapse automatically, without prior notice and without compensation on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Issue (the “Expiry Date”).

From the Date of Issue and until the Expiry Date (“The Exercise Period”), an Owner earns the right to keep and exercise Warrants only in accordance with the following rules:

 

§

Until one (1) year from the Date of Issue of a particular grant of Warrants, no such Warrants are earned/can be exercised.

 

Page 33 of 52

 

 

§

For a period starting one (1) year after the Date of Issue (a “Vesting Date”) of such particular grant of Warrants and ending on the Expiry Date, the Owner has earned and may exercise up to 25 % of such Warrants provided that the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship or board membership (as the case may be) has not expired on or before such Vesting Date due to one of the reasons set out below under heading (c).

 

§

For a period starting two (2) years from the Date of Issue (a “Vesting Date”) of such particular grant of Warrants and ending on the Expiry Date, the Owner has earned and may exercise up to an additional 25 % of such Warrants provided that the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship or board membership (as the case may be) has not expired on or before such Vesting Date due to one of the reasons set out below under heading (c).

 

§

For a period starting three (3) years from the Date of Issue (a “Vesting Date”) of such particular grant of Warrants and ending on the Expiry Date, the Owner has earned and may exercise up to an additional 25 % of such Warrants provided that the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship or board membership (as the case may be) has not expired on or before such Vesting Date due to one of the reasons set out below under heading (c).

 

§

For a period starting four (4) years from the Date of Issue (a “Vesting Date”) of such particular grant of Warrants and ending on the Expiry Date, the Owner has earned and may exercise all of such Warrants provided that the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship or board membership (as the case may be) has not expired on or before such Vesting Date due to one of the reasons set out below under heading (c).  

 

For the sake of clarity it is noted that in no event can Warrants be exercised earlier than one (1) year after the Date of Issue of the Warrants in question.

 

(b) In case of termination of the employment/consultancy relationship with the Company or one of its subsidiaries the Owner or his/her estate shall be entitled to keep and exercise all Warrants issued to the Owner in instances where

 

§

the Company or one of its subsidiaries terminates the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship without the Owner having given the Company/subsidiary good reason to do so. However, provided that the Owner is comprised by the Danish Act no. 309 of May

 

Page 34 of 52

 

5th, 2004 regarding the use of stock options etc. in employment relationships), the Company/subsidiary shall only be deemed to have terminated the Owner's employment with good reason to the extent the termination is made due to the Owner's breach of his/her employment relationship; or

 

§

the Owner terminates the employment/consultancy relationship as a result of a material breach on the part of the Company/subsidiary; or

 

§

the employment/consultancy relationship is terminated as a result of the Owner’s death, sickness or injury (other than termination by the employer due to excessive absenteeism or absence without notice), or retirement at an age where the Owner is eligible for Company or governmental pension.

 

Any exercise may however, only take place within the time periods where the Warrants in question would otherwise become exercisable and with the given percentages), cf. above under heading (a) had the employment/consultancy relationship continued unchanged – that is, the Owner in question cannot be treated more favourably than the continuing employees/consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries.   

 

(c) In case of termination of the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship with the Company or one of its subsidiaries in all other instances than those described above under heading (b), the Owner’s right to exercise the Owner’s Warrants shall be limited as described under heading (a) above.

 

(d) In relation to board members, the vesting shall cease on the termination date of the board membership regardless of the reason therefore unless in case of termination of the board membership as a result of the Owner’s death, sickness or injury, retirement at an age where the Owner is eligible for Company or governmental pension or as agreed otherwise with the Board of Directors.

 

(e) In case of a direct or indirect transfer of shares in the Company which entails that the acquirer achieves any one or more of the following:

 

1)

holds at least a third of the voting rights in the Company, unless it is clearly demonstrated that such holding does not constitute a controlling influence over the Company,

2)

by way of an agreement with other investors controls at least a third of the voting rights in the Company,

3)

is able to control the Company's financial and operational matters due to the content of the Company's articles of association or as a result of any agreement, or

4)

is able to appoint or dismiss a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has controlling influence over the Company,

 

Page 35 of 52

 

 

then, the Owner shall immediately be granted the right to exercise all the Owner’s Warrants. However, to the extent (i) the Owner has at the time of the transfer of shares received or given notice of termination of the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) such termination notice has become effective prior to the transfer of shares, and (iii) such notice is received or given prior to the transfer of shares due to reasons comprised by heading (c) above, the Owner will only have the right to exercise the number of Warrants following from heading (a) above. Likewise, Owners that are former board members will only be able to exercise such number of Warrants that he or she would otherwise be entitled to cf. heading (d) above. Termination in connection with or due to a transfer of shares as described above shall not be deemed made with a good reason as set out under heading (a) above. 

 

(f) Exercise of Warrants to subscribe shares is dependant upon the availability of the Company’s Board of Directors to make the necessary resolutions to increase the share capital of the Company. Any Owner must respect that the Board of Directors may in its discretion decide to defer the processing of any request to fit the working schedule of the Board of Directors as well as to allow that other requests to exercise Warrants are processed at the same time.

 

(g) Any exercise of Warrants must respect the stock exchange regulation in force from time to time, including the prohibition against insider trading.

 

(III) Procedure for Exercise.

 

Warrants must be exercised by the Owner sending a written request to the Board of Directors of the Company for the issue of new shares within the Exercise Periods. The request shall specify the number of shares subscribed for as well as the Owner’s account with VP Securities A/S at which the shares shall be registered. The cash subscription amount (i.e. the Exercise Price times the number of shares subscribed for) shall be paid to the Company in full at the same time or no later than within 7 days after the request is made. The Board of Directors may require that requests to exercise are made using special forms.

 

(IV) Non-transferability.

 

(a) The Warrants issued are personal and may never be the subject of transfer or assignment. Warrants may not be pledged or otherwise serve as the basis for settlement of claims by the Owner’s creditors. However, transfer can be made to heirs in case of the Owner’s death.

 

(b) Irrespective of heading (a) above, an Owner may transfer his/her Warrants to a company that is wholly-owned (100%) by the Owner. In such case, a principle of transparency will apply causing

 

Page 36 of 52

 

the receiving company’s rights and obligations (including but not limited to the possibility of earning the right to exercise the Warrants) to be identical to those of the Owner. If an Owner transfers his/her Warrants to a company that is wholly-owned by the Owner, the Owner shall without undue delay notify the Company and present appropriate proof of the transfer.

 

(c) Irrespective of heading (a) above, the Board of Directors can on a case-by-case basis decide that an Owner may transfer his/her Warrants to a third party. The Board of Directors will determine the conditions for such transfer on a case-by-case basis.

 

(d) If an Owner enters into an agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries to make use of S. 7H of the Danish Tax Assessment Act then the Owner will be prohibited from transferring Warrants to a fully-owned company or – on the basis of the Board of Director’s permission – transferring Warrants to a third party, cf. headings (b) to (c) above.

 

C. General Terms.

 

(a) Existing shareholders of the Company do not have a right of pre-emption to the shares issued on the basis of the Owner’s exercise of Warrants. The shares issued on the basis of Warrants shall be negotiable instruments issued to the bearer and they may be entered in the name of their holders in the Company’s Register of Shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the shares except as may otherwise be provided by the laws of the jurisdiction of the Owner’s domicile (other than Danish law). No shares shall confer any special rights upon the holder, and no shareholder shall be under an obligation to allow his/her shares to be redeemed.

 

(b) At the request of the Owner, the Board of Directors of the Company shall issue certificates concerning the Owner’s right to Warrants.

 

D. Adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number.

 

(a) If changes to the capital structure of the Company are implemented causing the value of the non-exercised warrants to be increased or reduced, an adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares which may be subscribed for on the basis of the non-exercised warrants (the “Share Number”) shall be made. Main examples of such changes in the capital structure of the Company are capital increases and capital decreases not done at market price, payment of dividend, cf. heading (b) below, issuance of bonus shares, change of the denomination of the shares in the Company, purchase and sale of own shares, issuance of warrants and/or convertible instruments, cf. heading (c) below, merger and demerger. 

 

Page 37 of 52

 

However, no adjustment of the Exercise Price nor the Share Number shall be made as a result of capital increases implemented on the basis of the exercise of the warrants comprised by this Scheme or by Schedule A or Schedule B to the Company’s Articles of Association.

 

(b) If the Company in an accounting year distributes dividend of more than DKK 5 per share at DKK 1, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to such an extent that the value of the warrants is unaffected by the part of the dividend exceeding the said amount.

 

(c) Irrespective of heading (a) above, if the Company resolves to issue stock options, shares, warrants, convertible instruments or the like to the Company's and/or its subsidiaries' employees, managers, consultants or members of the Board of Directors or buys or sells own shares in this connection, no adjustment of the Exercise Price nor the Share Number shall be made. This applies irrespective of whether the issued share instruments provide the right to acquire shares at a price lower than the market price on the Company's shares at the time of allotment or whether the purchase/sale of own shares takes place at a price higher or lower than the market price on the Company's shares.

 

(d) If adjustments pursuant to this Clause D causes the Exercise Price to become lower than par, the warrants may as a starting point not be exercised. However, an Owner may exercise the warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof, if the Owner accepts that the Exercise Price is increased to par without providing the Owner with a right to compensation.

 

(e) The Company’s Board of Directors shall determine whether an implemented change in the capital causes for an adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number.

 

If so determined, the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number shall be made by the Company’s Board of Directors as soon as possible after the implementation of the relevant change and to the extent possible according to generally accepted principles therefore and otherwise in such a manner that the market value of the warrants as estimated by the Board of Directors after the relevant change to the extent possible corresponds to the market value of the warrants as estimated by the Board of Directors immediately prior to the change.

 

(f) The Owner is entitled to demand that the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or Share Number made pursuant to heading (e) above (but not the decision as to whether an adjustment shall be made or not) is subjected to a valuation by a special expert valuer appointed by the Institute of State Authorised Public Accountants. A demand for a valuation must be made by the Owner to the Company not later than two weeks after the Owner has been notified of the Board of Directors' adjustment. Thereafter, the valuation shall be made as quickly as possible.

 

 

Page 38 of 52

 

(g) Where a valuer is appointed pursuant to heading (f) above, and the valuer’s valuation deviates from the adjustments made by the Board of Directors, the valuer's valuation shall be used as a basis for adjusting the Exercise Price and/or Share Number.

 

The valuation of the valuer is final and binding on both the Owners and the Company and cannot be brought before the courts or arbitration. The costs of the valuation shall be borne by the Owner or Owners (as the case may be) and the Company each paying half of the costs irrespective of the outcome of the valuation.

 

E. Merger

 

If the Company is the surviving or continuing company in a merger (“the absorbing company”), Warrants shall remain unaffected. Where a final resolution is passed to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another company that will be the absorbing company all outstanding non-exercised Warrants shall automatically be considered converted into a right to subscribe for new shares in the absorbing company. The Exercise Price and/or Share Number applicable at the time of the merger shall be adjusted on the basis of the conversion ratio applicable between the Company’s shares and the shares of the absorbing company at the time of the merger or consolidation and otherwise in accordance with Clause D above. For the period after the merger, the adjusted Exercise Price and Share number shall be adjusted in accordance with the rules otherwise contained in this Warrant Scheme.

 

F. Liquidation of the Company

 

(i) Warrants that have not been exercised shall automatically lapse in the event of the liquidation of the Company. The lapse becomes effective when the general meeting has adopted the final liquidation accounts.

(ii) Prior to the lapse of non-exercised Warrants, the right to exercise all an Owner’s Warrants shall be granted to such Owner. However, to the extent (i) an Owner has received or given notice of termination of the Owner’s employment/consultancy relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) such notice has become effective at the time when the right to exercise Warrants due to the liquidation is granted, and (iii) such notice is received or given due to reasons comprised by Clause B.II, heading (c) above, the Owner will only be able to exercise the number of Warrants following from Clause B.II, heading (a) above. Likewise, (former) board members will only be able to exercise the number of Warrants that they would otherwise be entitled to under heading II (d) above.

 

G. Demerger

 

 

Page 39 of 52

 

(i) Where a final resolution is passed to divide the Company so that assets and liabilities as a whole are transferred to several existing or newly set up public or private limited companies against issue of shares and, if relevant, cash to the Company’s shareholders, the obligation to issue shares upon the exercise of outstanding Warrants shall, at the Company’s discretion, be transferred to one of the new companies or be transferred proportionately among the new companies. In the latter situation, the transfer shall be made in the same proportion as that in which the Company’s shareholders receive shares in the new companies to replace shares of the Company. After such a demerger, the right to subscribe for shares on the basis of the Warrants transferred shall remain in existence as a right to subscribe for shares in the company(ies) that has(ve) taken over such an obligation after the demerger.

(ii) In the event of a demerger where the Company remains in existence concurrently with the Company transferring some of its assets and liabilities to one or more existing or newly set up public or private limited companies, the right to Warrants shall be maintained as a right to Warrants in the Company.

(iii) In the event of a demerger as set out in item (i) or (ii) above, the Exercise Price and/or Share Number shall be adjusted according to Clause D above.

(iv) No adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number shall be made in the event of a demerger where certain assets and/or liabilities of the Company are divested by the Company into a subsidiary without payment to the shareholders of the Company.

 

H. Tax Implications.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries shall have no responsibility for the tax consequences (including social security contributions triggered) for the Owner in connection with the allotment, exercise or potential transfer of the Warrants or any transfer of shares acquired on the basis of exercise of Warrants or any tax consequences for the Owner connected with any restructuring of the Company. However, the Company shall be entitled to withhold and pay to tax authorities any applicable taxes or social contributions that the Owner may be the subject of.

 

I. No exterritorial applicability of mandatory laws.

 

Nothing herein shall be deemed to confer upon employees whose employment relationship is governed by foreign (Non-Danish) law, any benefit under mandatory Danish employment laws and no such laws or regulation is included into this Warrant Scheme by reference.

 

J. Arbitration.

 

The interpretation of this Warrant Scheme and Warrants issued pursuant hereto including contents, scope, expiry or breach hereof as well as other disputes shall be governed by Danish law and

 

Page 40 of 52

 

shall be settled in accordance with the rules of procedure of the Copenhagen Arbitration. Place of arbitration shall be Copenhagen, Denmark.

All warrants have been issued on the following terms and conditions:

 

A. General description of warrants.

 

A warrant means a right – but not an obligation – of the owner (the “Owner”) to subscribe for ordinary shares in the Company at a price fixed in advance (the exercise price).

The Owner of the warrant can for a given period choose to subscribe for shares in the Company by paying the exercise price.

The warrant does not entitle the Owner to vote at the Company’s general meeting or to receive dividends.

When a warrant is exercised, the value may be calculated as the difference between the market value of the shares subscribed and the exercise price. The value cannot become negative without the Owner’s acceptance because a warrant is a right – but not an obligation – to subscribe for shares in the Company. If the market price of the shares at the time of subscription is lower than the exercise price the Owner can abstain from subscribing for shares in the Company.

The Owner of the warrant is obligated to give notice to the Company of changes in the Owner’s contact information.

 

 

 

B. Conditions for exercise of Warrants.

 

The Warrants are not granted due to work already performed by the Owners, but are granted in order to motivate the Owners, as described below, during the years following the date of issue of the Warrants.

Thus, the Warrants are issued and granted in order to increase and motivate the Owners’ focus on a positive development of the market price of the shares of the Company and to motivate the Owners to work for a future value increase in the Company and its subsidiaries.

(I) Exercise Price.

 

Warrants are issued to the Owner free of charge.

One Warrant entitles the Owner to subscribe for one ordinary share of a nominal value of DKK 1 at a price per share (the “Exercise Price”) determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issue, but which cannot be lower than the price of the Company’s shares as listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen at close of business on the day of issue by the Board of Directors (the “Date of Issue”).

 

(II) Exercise Period & Vesting Schedule.

 

(a) The Warrants will lapse automatically, without prior notice and without compensation on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Date of Issue (the “Expiry Date”).

From the Date of Issue and until the Expiry Date (“The Exercise Period”), an Owner earns the right to keep and exercise Warrants only in accordance with the following rules:

 

§

Until three (3) years from the Date of Issue of a particular grant of Warrants, no such Warrants are earned/can be exercised.

 

§

For a period starting three (3) years after the Date of Issue (a “Vesting Date”) of such particular grant of Warrants and ending on the Expiry Date, the Owner has earned and may exercise all of such Warrants provided that the Owner’s employment relationship has not expired on or before such Vesting Date due to one of the reasons set out below under heading (c).

 

For the sake of clarity it is noted that in no event can Warrants be exercised earlier than three (3) years after the Date of Issue of the Warrants in question, unless as set out in Clause B.II, heading (d) in this Schedule E.

 

(b) In case of termination of the employment relationship with the Company or one of its subsidiaries the Owner or his/her estate shall be entitled to keep and exercise all Warrants issued to the Owner in instances where

 

§

the Company or one of its subsidiaries terminates the Owner’s employment relationship without the Owner having given the Company/subsidiary good reason to do so. However, provided that the Owner is comprised by the Danish Act no. 309 of May 5th, 2004 (regarding the use of stock options etc. in employment relationships), the Company/subsidiary shall only be deemed to have terminated the Owner's employment

 

Page 47 of 52

 

with good reason to the extent the termination is made due to the Owner's breach of his/her employment relationship; or

 

§

the Owner terminates the employment relationship as a result of a material breach on the part of the Company/subsidiary; or

 

§

the employment relationship is terminated as a result of the Owner’s death, sickness or injury (other than termination by the employer due to excessive absenteeism or absence without notice), or retirement at an age where the Owner is eligible for Company or governmental pension.

 

Any exercise may however, only take place within the time periods where the Warrants in question would otherwise become exercisable had the employment relationship continued unchanged – that is, the Owner in question cannot be treated more favourably than the continuing employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.   

 

(c) In case of termination of the Owner’s employment relationship with the Company or one of its subsidiaries in all other instances than those described above under heading (b), the Owner’s right to exercise the Owner’s Warrants shall be limited as described under heading (a) above.

 

(d) In case of a direct or indirect transfer of shares in the Company which entails that the acquirer achieves any one or more of the following:

 

1)

holds at least a third of the voting rights in the Company, unless it is clearly demonstrated that such holding does not constitute a controlling influence over the Company,

2)

by way of an agreement with other investors controls at least a third of the voting rights in the Company,

3)

is able to control the Company's financial and operational matters due to the content of the Company's articles of association or as a result of any agreement, or

4)

is able to appoint or dismiss a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has controlling influence over the Company,

 

then, the Owner shall immediately be granted the right to exercise all the Owner’s Warrants. However, to the extent (i) the Owner has at the time of the transfer of shares received or given notice of termination of the Owner’s employment relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) such termination notice has become effective prior to the transfer of shares, and (iii) such notice is received or given prior to the transfer of shares due to reasons comprised by heading (c) above, the Owner will only have the right to exercise the number of Warrants following from heading (a) above. Termination of the

 

Page 48 of 52

 

Owner’s employment in connection with or as a consequence of a transfer of shares as described above shall not be considered to be a good reason as described in heading (a) above.

 

(e) Exercise of Warrants to subscribe shares is dependent upon the availability of the Company’s Board of Directors to make the necessary arrangements in preparation for the increase of the share capital of the Company. Any Owner must respect that the Board of Directors may in its discretion decide to schedule defined periods where requests to exercise Warrants may be submitted to fit the working schedule of the Board of Directors as well as to allow that other requests to exercise Warrants are processed at the same time.

 

(f) Any exercise of Warrants must respect the stock exchange regulation in force from time to time, including the prohibition against insider trading.

 

(III) Procedure for Exercise.

 

Warrants must be exercised by the Owner sending a written request to the Board of Directors of the Company for the issue of new shares within the Exercise Periods. The request shall specify the number of shares subscribed for as well as the Owner’s account with VP Securities A/S at which the shares shall be registered. The cash subscription amount (i.e. the Exercise Price times the number of shares subscribed for) shall be paid to the Company in full at the same time or no later than the day before the subscription of the shares. The Board of Directors may require that requests to exercise are made using special forms or using specific digital solutions.

 

(IV) Non-transferability.

 

(a) The Warrants issued are personal and may never be the subject of transfer or assignment. Warrants may not be pledged or otherwise serve as the basis for settlement of claims by the Owner’s creditors. However, transfer can be made to heirs in case of the Owner’s death.

 

(b) Irrespective of heading (a) above, an Owner may transfer his/her Warrants to a company that is wholly-owned (100%) by the Owner. In such case, a principle of transparency will apply causing the receiving company’s rights and obligations (including but not limited to the possibility of earning the right to exercise the Warrants) to be identical to those of the Owner. If an Owner transfers his/her Warrants to a company that is wholly-owned by the Owner, the Owner shall without undue delay notify the Company and present appropriate proof of the transfer.

 

 

Page 49 of 52

 

(c) Irrespective of heading (a) above, the Board of Directors can on a case-by-case basis decide that an Owner may transfer his/her Warrants to a third party. The Board of Directors will determine the conditions for such transfer on a case-by-case basis.

 

(d) If an Owner enters into an agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries to make use of S. 7P of the Danish Tax Assessment Act then the Owner will be prohibited from transferring Warrants to a fully-owned company or – on the basis of the Board of Director’s permission – transferring Warrants to a third party, cf. headings (b) to (c) above.

 

C. General Terms.

 

(a) Existing shareholders of the Company do not have a right of pre-emption to the shares issued on the basis of the Owner’s exercise of Warrants. The shares issued on the basis of Warrants shall be negotiable instruments issued in the name of the holder. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the shares except as may otherwise be provided by the laws of the jurisdiction of the Owner’s domicile (other than Danish law). No shares shall confer any special rights upon the holder, and no shareholder shall be under an obligation to allow his/her shares to be redeemed.

 

(b) At the request of the Owner, the Board of Directors of the Company shall issue certificates concerning the Owner’s right to Warrants.

 

D. Adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number.

 

(a) If changes to the capital structure of the Company are implemented causing the value of the non-exercised warrants to be increased or reduced, an adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares which may be subscribed for on the basis of the non-exercised warrants (the “Share Number”) shall be made. Main examples of such changes in the capital structure of the Company are capital increases and capital decreases not done at market price, payment of dividend, cf. heading (b) below, issuance of bonus shares, change of the denomination of the shares in the Company, purchase and sale of own shares, issuance of warrants and/or convertible instruments, cf. heading (c) below, merger and demerger. 

However, no adjustment of the Exercise Price nor the Share Number shall be made as a result of capital increases implemented on the basis of the exercise of the warrants comprised by this Warrant Scheme or by Schedule C or Schedule D to the Company’s Articles of Association.

 

(b) If the Company in an accounting year distributes dividend of more than DKK 5 per share at DKK 1, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to such an extent that the value of the warrants is unaffected by the part of the dividend exceeding the said amount.

(c) Irrespective of heading (a) above, if the Company resolves to issue stock options, shares, warrants, convertible instruments or the like to the Company's and/or its subsidiaries' employees, including the Company’s managers, or buys or sells own shares in this connection, no adjustment of the Exercise Price nor the Share Number shall be made. This applies irrespective of whether the issued share instruments provide the right to acquire shares at a price lower than the market price on the Company's shares at the time of allotment or whether the purchase/sale of own shares takes place at a price higher or lower than the market price on the Company's shares.

 

(d) If adjustments pursuant to this Clause D causes the Exercise Price to become lower than par, the warrants may as a starting point not be exercised. However, an Owner may exercise the warrants in accordance with the provisions hereof, if the Owner accepts that the Exercise Price is increased to par without providing the Owner with a right to compensation.

 

(e) The Company’s Board of Directors shall determine whether an implemented change in the capital causes for an adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number.

 

If so determined, the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number shall be made by the Company’s Board of Directors as soon as possible after the implementation of the relevant change and to the extent possible according to generally accepted principles therefore and otherwise in such a manner that the value of the warrants as estimated by the Board of Directors after the relevant change to the extent possible corresponds to the value of the warrants as estimated by the Board of Directors immediately prior to the change.

 

(f) The Owner is entitled to demand that the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or Share Number made pursuant to heading (e) above (but not the decision as to whether an adjustment shall be made or not) is subjected to a valuation by a special expert valuer appointed by the Institute of State Authorised Public Accountants. A demand for a valuation must be made by the Owner to the Company not later than two weeks after the Owner has been notified of the Board of Directors' adjustment. Thereafter, the valuation shall be made as quickly as possible.

 

(g) Where a valuer is appointed pursuant to heading (f) above, and the valuer’s valuation deviates from the adjustments made by the Board of Directors, the valuer's valuation shall be used as a basis for adjusting the Exercise Price and/or Share Number.

 

The valuation of the valuer is final and binding on both the Owners and the Company and cannot be brought before the courts or arbitration. The costs of the valuation shall be borne by the Owner or

 

Page 51 of 52

 

Owners (as the case may be) and the Company each paying half of the costs irrespective of the outcome of the valuation.

 

E. Merger

 

If the Company is the surviving or continuing company in a merger (“the absorbing company”), Warrants shall remain unaffected. Where a final resolution is passed to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another company that will be the absorbing company all outstanding non-exercised Warrants shall automatically be considered converted into a right to subscribe for new shares in the absorbing company. The Exercise Price and/or Share Number applicable at the time of the merger shall be adjusted on the basis of the conversion ratio applicable between the Company’s shares and the shares of the absorbing company at the time of the merger or consolidation and otherwise in accordance with Clause D above. For the period after the merger, the adjusted Exercise Price and Share number shall be adjusted in accordance with the rules otherwise contained in this Warrant Scheme.

 

F. Liquidation of the Company

 

(i) Warrants that have not been exercised shall automatically lapse in the event of the liquidation of the Company. The lapse becomes effective when the general meeting has adopted the final liquidation accounts.

(ii) Prior to the lapse of non-exercised Warrants, the right to exercise all an Owner’s Warrants shall be granted to such Owner. However, to the extent (i) an Owner has received or given notice of termination of the Owner’s employment relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries, (ii) such notice has become effective at the time when the right to exercise Warrants due to the liquidation is granted, and (iii) such notice is received or given due to reasons comprised by Clause B.II, heading (c) above, the Owner will only be able to exercise the number of Warrants following from Clause B.II, heading (a) above.

 

G. Demerger

 

(i) Where a final resolution is passed to demerge the Company so that assets and liabilities as a whole are transferred to several existing or newly set up public or private limited companies against issue of shares and, if relevant, cash to the Company’s shareholders, non-exercised Warrants shall, at the Company’s discretion, be transferred to one of the new companies or be transferred proportionately among the new companies. In the latter situation, the transfer shall be made in the same proportion as that in which the Company’s shareholders receive shares in the new companies to replace shares of the Company. After such a demerger, the right to subscribe for shares on the basis of the Warrants transferred shall remain in existence as a right to subscribe for shares in the company(ies) that has(ve) taken over such an obligation after the demerger.

 

Page 52 of 52

 

(ii) In the event of a demerger where the Company remains in existence concurrently with the Company transferring some of its assets and liabilities to one or more existing or newly set up public or private limited companies, the right to Warrants shall be maintained as a right to Warrants in the Company.

(iii) In the event of a demerger as set out in item (i) or (ii) above, the Exercise Price and/or Share Number shall be adjusted according to Clause D above.

(iv) No adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Share Number shall be made in the event of a demerger where certain assets and/or liabilities of the Company are divested by the Company into a subsidiary without payment to the shareholders of the Company.

 

H. Tax Implications.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries shall have no responsibility for the tax consequences (including social security contributions triggered) for the Owner in connection with the allotment, exercise or potential transfer of the Warrants or any transfer of shares acquired on the basis of exercise of Warrants or any tax consequences for the Owner connected with any restructuring of the Company. However, the Company shall be entitled to withhold and pay to tax authorities any applicable taxes or social contributions that the Owner may be the subject of.

 

I. No exterritorial applicability of mandatory laws.

 

Nothing herein shall be deemed to confer upon employees whose employment relationship is governed by foreign (Non-Danish) law, any benefit under mandatory Danish employment laws and no such laws or regulation is included into this Warrant Scheme by reference.

 

J. Arbitration.

 

The interpretation of this Warrant Scheme and Warrants issued pursuant hereto including contents, scope, expiry or breach hereof as well as other disputes shall be governed by Danish law and shall be settled in accordance with the rules of procedure of the Copenhagen Arbitration. Place of arbitration shall be Copenhagen, Denmark.
