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 750,000, however, the nominal increase of the share capital may be higher due to subsequent adjustments of the warrants in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued. The Board of Directors has issued 61,850 warrants and re-issued 1,333 warrants under this authorization. This authorization shall remain in force for a period ending on April 12, 2026.

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 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 preemption 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.

However, the nominal increase of the share capital may be higher due to subsequent adjustments of the convertible debt instruments in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the convertible debt instruments are issued. Convertible debt instruments 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 debt instruments may be issued against payment in cash or in other ways. The subscription of shares shall be without pre-emption rights for the shareholders and the convertible debt instruments 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 debt instruments. The terms for raising of debt instruments 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.
