This authorization entails the adoption of a new Article 5e of the Articles of Association as follows:

"Article 5eFor the period ending on 30 June 2020, the Board of Directors shall be authorised to increase the Company's share capital through one issue of up to a total of nominally DKK 415,000,000 (41,500,000 shares of DKK 10 each) by the subscription of new shares. The existing shareholders shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for the amount by which the share capital is increased, proportional to their shareholdings.
