The Board of Directors of SPENN Technology A/S, CVR no. 26 51 81 99 (the “Company”), hereby convenes an Extraordinary General Meeting pursuant to § 4 of the Company’s Articles of Association, to be held on 25 January 2023, at 12:00 noon.
Company Announcement 94
The General Meeting will be held as a fully electronic General Meeting in accordance with Article 5 of the Company’s Articles of Association. There will therefore be no physical attendance. Instructions for attending the virtual General Meeting will be available on the Company’s website in the form of a practical guide.
Agenda
Election of the Chairman
Proposal to carry out a capital increase
Proposal to change the size of the shares
Any other business
Ad 1 – Election of the Chairman
The Board proposes the re-election of Karl-Anders Grønland as chairman.
Ad 2 – Proposal to carry out a capital increase
The Board proposes to implement a capital increase of DKK 5.90 with pre-emptive rights for Janus Invest AS. The capital will be purchased in cash at DKK 0.20 (corresponding to the highest market price within the last 30 days). As a consequence, Article 3 of the Articles of
Association shall be amended. The purpose of the capital increase is solely to enable a change in the size of the shares, cf. point 3.
Ad 3 – Proposal to change the size of the shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the size of the shares be changed so that the nominal value of one share is changed from DKK 0.1 to DKK 10.00. Draft updated Articles of Association are attached. As a consequence of the reverse share split, Articles 3, 7, 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D and Annex A of the Articles of Association are amended.
The reverse share split will take place at the earliest 4 weeks after its adoption. As a result of the reverse share split, shareholders holding a number of shares not divisible by DKK 10 will have their excess shares cancelled and will be entitled to compensation at the market price. Shareholders for whom this is relevant are invited to contact the company no later than 25 February 2023. Upon the (subsequent) cancellation of the shares, the share capital will be updated.
Shareholders who may hold less than 100 shares of DKK 0.1 will be fully redeemed and will thus no longer be shareholders of the Company. Shareholders with more than 100 shares of DKK 0.1 will have excess shares, which will not be converted into a full number of shares, redeemed.
For the purpose of the planned possible cancellation of certain shares, as described above, the Board of Directors is authorised during the period until 1 January 2028 to purchase own shares on behalf of the Company at a minimum price of 100 and a maximum price of 300, provided that the repurchase shall in all cases be made at the market price. The authorisation is limited to a nominal amount of DKK 500,000. The authorisation shall be included in Article 9F of the Company’s Articles of Association.
Adoption requirements
Proposals under agenda item 1 may be adopted by simple majority, while adoption of the proposal under items 2-3 requires adoption by at least 2/3 of both the votes cast and the proportion of the share capital represented at the General Meeting.
Amount of share capital and voting rights
The Company’s capital currently (i.e. before the reverse share split) amounts to a nominal amount of DKK 248,183,614.10. Each nominal amount of DKK 0.1 entitles the holder to one vote at the General Meeting.
The record date is 18.01.2023.
Shareholders holding shares in the Company on the record date are entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting.
The shares held by the shareholder shall be determined on the date of registration on the basis of the listing of the shareholder’s shares in the register of shareholders and notifications of ownership received by the Company for entry in the register of shareholders.
Participation is further conditional upon the shareholder having timely registered and paid for an access card as described below.
