Re agenda item 9.1
The proposed resolution on the reduction of the Company's share capital by nominally DKK 3,000,000 by cancellation of a nominal amount of 3,000,000 treasury shares of DKK 1 as well as the amendment of Article 4.1 was adopted. The 3,000,000 shares have been acquired through share buyback programmes by payment of DKK 3,281,146,400 to the effect that in addition to the nominal amount of DKK 3,000,000 an amount of DKK 3,278,146,400 has been distributed. The purpose of the reduction is to cancel a part of the Company's portfolio of treasury shares, cf. section 188 of the Danish Companies Act.
