The Board of Directors recommends re-election of Ernst & Young Godkendt Revisionspartnerselskab based on a recommendation from the Audit Committee.

Re item 10 on the agenda - Proposals from the Board of Directors

Re item 10.1 on the agenda - Indemnification of members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting adopts an indemnification program covering members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management of Ambu A/S supplementing the com- pany's directors' and officers' liability insurance.

The proposed indemnification program is structured to the effect that if required D&O liability insurance cov- erage, as proposed by Ambu A/S' insurance broker(s), cannot be obtained, Ambu A/S shall indemnify and hold harmless members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management from and against third- party claims in respect of the gap between the obtained and the required D&O liability insurance coverage, including indemnification for potential tax liabilities prompted by such indemnification against third-party claims. Any such indemnification shall be secondary to coverage under Ambu A/S' D&O liability insurance, as applicable from time to time, and be subject to the same terms and conditions, including general liability exclusions, as are applicable to Ambu A/S' D&O liability insurance. Ambu A/S shall, however, in no event indemnify and hold harmless members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management from and against third-party claims based on such management member's fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence (unless covered under Ambu A/S' D&O liability insurance) and/or criminal offence pertaining to such mem- ber's discharge of duties as member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management of Ambu A/S.

Furthermore, the proposed indemnification program allows, in special cases, Ambu A/S to indemnify and hold harmless members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management from and against third- party claims exceeding the required D&O insurance coverage, as proposed by the company's insurance broker(s), but in all other respects in accordance with the principles described in this proposal.

The proposed indemnification program implies that the Board of Directors is authorized to initiate, terminate and determine the detailed terms of the indemnification program, including coverage, and to manage and administer such program in accordance with the terms of the indemnification program as further set out in the updated remuneration policy's provisions on the indemnification program, cf. item 10.2 of the agenda.

The proposal to adopt the indemnification program reflects a general development in the insurance market proving it increasingly difficult to obtain required insurance coverage at reasonable terms. In order to, among other factors, be able to attract and retain qualified members of the company's Board of Directors and Executive Management, the Board of Directors considers it is in the best interest of the company that the management members of Ambu A/S are offered an adequate indemnification program covering potential management liability.

Re item 10.2 on the agenda - Update of the remuneration policy

The Board of Directors proposes to update the remuneration policy. The draft updated remuneration policy is available at the company's website, www.ambu.com. The material amendments made to the updated remuneration policy are as follows:

  • Travel compensation: Members of the Board of Directors may be compensated in connection with travel to board and committee related meetings outside their country of residence.
  • Indemnification program: As set out in item 10.1 of the agenda, Ambu A/S has introduced an in- demnification program for the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management which is secondary to coverage under Ambu's D&O liability insurance. The terms of the indemnifi- cation program are reflected in the updated remuneration policy.
  • Extraordinary remuneration: Ambu's option to award extraordinary remuneration, e.g. sign-on bo- nusses, retention bonusses and severance payments, is amended to the effect that the Board of Directors, in special cases and upon recommendation by the Remuneration Committee, may award extraordinary remuneration to a member of the Executive Management without such extraordinary remuneration constituting a deviation of the remuneration policy. Accordingly, the Board of Direc- tors' option to award extraordinary remuneration under section 11 (Deviations from the remunera- tion policy) is deleted. Extraordinary remuneration to members of the Executive Management is capped at 25 % of such member's annual remuneration and may only be provided if the extraordi- nary remuneration is deemed to support Ambu A/S' long-term interests and the interests of the company's shareholders.
  • Clawback: Section 10 (Clawback) of the remuneration policy has been amended in alignment with the wording of section 4.1.6 of the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance dated 2 December 2020 issued by the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance.

Re item 10.3 on the agenda - Renewal of the Board of Directors' authorization to increase the B share capital (article 9e of the Articles of Association).

The existing authorization to increase the B share capital set out in article 9e of the Articles of Association is effective until 12 December 2022. The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting renews the existing authorization to increase the B share capital with and without pre-emption rights until 14 December

2026 entailing that article 9e of the Articles of Association is amended as follows:

"Until 14 December 2026, the Board of Directors shall be authorised to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues by up to a total nominal amount of DKK 12,885,197 Class B shares. Capital increases must be paid up in full in cash and with a pre-emption right for the company's existing holders of Class A and Class B shares at a price determined by the board of directors.

Until 14 December 2026, the Board of Directors shall be authorised to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues by up to a total nominal amount of DKK 12,885,197 Class B shares. Capital increases may be paid up in full in cash, assets other than cash (contribution in kind) or through the conversion of debt or a combination thereof. Capital increases shall be effected at a price to be determined by the Board of Directors, always provided, however, that the price may not be lower than the market price on the date of the resolution, and without the existing holders of Class A and Class B shares having any pre-emption rights.
