The Audit Committee’s recommendation has not been influenced by any third parties nor has it been subject to any contractual obligations restricting the general meeting’s choice to certain auditors or audit firms.
Re agenda item 9
The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be authorised by the general meeting to let the Company acquire own shares for up to 10% of its share capital in the period until the next Annual General Meeting, always provided that the Company’s holding of treasury shares may at no time exceed 10% of the share capital. The purchase price may not deviate by more than 10% from the price quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the date of purchase.
Re agenda item 10.a
On 16 June 2025, Matas A/S announced a share buy-back programme of up to DKK 140 million (the “Programme”), with a maximum of 1.4 million shares, to be executed in the period from 17 June 2025 until and including 31 March 2026 at the latest. In total, Matas A/S acquired 1,129,889 shares at an average price of DKK 123.91 for a total value of DKK 139,999,964 during the Programme.
The purpose of the Programme was to reduce the Company’s share capital and meet obligations under long-term incentive programmes. The Board of Directors proposes to reduce the Company's share capital to the effect that a part of the total portfolio of treasury shares is cancelled while the remaining part is retained for the purpose of fulfilling the Company's obligations in connection with said incentive programmes.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Company's share capital be reduced by a nominal amount of DKK 2,017,592.50 by cancellation of 807,037 treasury shares of DKK 2.50, equal to 2.1% of the Company's total share capital.
The purpose of the reduction is to cancel a part of the Company's portfolio of treasury shares, which together with the repurchase of shares, represent a distribution to shareholders pursuant to section 188(1)(ii) of the Danish Companies Act. To that end, the Board of Directors states that the relevant treasury shares have been acquired in the period between 17 June 2025 to 31 March 2026 for a total amount of DKK 100,000,000, to the effect that, in addition to the proposed nominal reduction amount of DKK 2,017,592.50, an amount of DKK 97,982,407.50 has been distributed.
Following implementation of the capital reduction, the Company's nominal share capital will be DKK 93,711,137.50.
As a result of the share capital reduction, it is proposed that Article 2.1 of the Articles of Association is amended to read as follows after the implementation of the capital reduction:
”The Company's nominal share capital is DKK 93,711,137.50, divided into shares of DKK 2.50 each or multiples thereof.”
The proposed wording will in Danish read as follows:
”Selskabets aktiekapital udgør nominelt kr. 93.711.137,50, fordelt i aktier à nominelt kr. 2,50 eller multipla heraf.”
Before the implementation of the capital reduction, the Company's creditors will be requested, through the Danish Business Authority's IT system, to file their claims within a time limit of 4 weeks. The implementation of the capital reduction and the resulting amendment to the Articles of Association will be finally registered upon the expiry of the time limit.
Re agenda item 10.b
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting renews its approval of the Company’s general indemnification scheme covering members of the Board of Directors, members of the Executive Committee and other executives. The indemnification scheme was first approved by the general meeting on 28 June 2022 and the proposed renewal will further align the scheme with updated guidance from the Danish Business Authority and the principles set out in the Company’s Remuneration Policy, approved by the Company’s general meeting on 19 June 2024.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless current, former and future members of the Board of Directors, members of the Executive Committee and other executives from and against any losses incurred personally by such covered person arising out of any actual or potential claims, including any associated costs, expenses and potential tax liabilities, raised by any third parties (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) against a covered person arising out of such person’s discharge of his/her duties towards the Company (the “Indemnification Scheme”).
The Indemnification Scheme shall be for the sole benefit of the above covered persons and no third party shall be entitled to rely on or derive any benefits from the Indemnification Scheme or have any recourse against the Company on account of the Indemnification Scheme.
Excluded from coverage under the Indemnification Scheme are losses, etc., derived from:
a. claims if and to the extent covered by insurance taken out by the Matas Group, it being understood that the indemnification may also cover claims not covered by any such insurance in whole or in part;
b. claims raised against a covered person arising out of such person’s wilful misconduct, gross negligence or improper acts or omissions (in Danish: “Utilbørlige dispositioner”);
c. claims raised against the covered person by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company;
d. claims caused by any sanctioned offence under applicable criminal law committed by a covered person, to the extent such losses, etc. constitute penal sanctions, including fines, or related defence costs;
e. claims not covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance due to forfeiture of coverage caused by the indemnified person; or
f. any other claims, if and to the extent it would be inconsistent with applicable law to offer the benefits of the Indemnification Scheme.
The Indemnification Scheme shall apply to claims raised in the period from 16 June 2026, whether arising out of circumstances or events occurring on, before or after said date, and until 1 July 2030.
The Board of Directors is authorised to determine the detailed terms of the Indemnification Scheme, including monetary thresholds and other limits to the scope of the coverage, and to manage and administer the Indemnification Scheme. The Board of Directors is authorised to take all decisions in relation to the scheme, including to determine whether a claim is comprised by the scheme and/or whether to refer such determination and/or other specific decisions to a third-party expert or an independent committee. A covered person shall only be covered to the extent provided for in the detailed terms and conditions communicated to such person.
The scheme will supplement and be subsidiary to applicable directors’ and officers’ insurance, enabling broader and more cost efficient coverage to the benefit of the Company and the covered persons.
Re agenda item 10.c
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the chair of the Annual General Meeting, with a right of substitution, to file the resolutions adopted with the Danish Business Authority and to make any such amendments as the Danish Business Authority may require in order to register or approve the resolutions adopted.

Adoption requirements, share capital, record date and voting rights
The adoption of the proposal by the Board of Directors under items 10.a of the agenda requires a majority voting in favour of the proposed resolutions of at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and of the share capital represented at the Annual General Meeting, see Article 7.2 of the Company’s Articles of Association. All other resolutions may be passed by a simple majority of votes pursuant to Article 7.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association, however, agenda item 5 is presented for an advisory vote.
The total nominal value of the Company’s share capital is DKK 95,728,730 divided into shares of DKK 2.50 each, equivalent to 38,291,492 shares. Each share of DKK 2.50 carries one vote.
The right of a shareholder to attend and vote at a general meeting is determined by the shares held by the shareholder at the record date. The record date is Tuesday, 9 June 2026. The shares held by each shareholder at the record date are calculated based on the registration of the number of shares held by that shareholder in the Company’s register of shareholders as well as any notification of ownership received by the Company for the purpose of registration in the Company’s register of shareholders but not yet registered.
