Proposal 1
The board of directors proposes to authorise the board of directors to issue warrants one or more times to the employees of the Company. As part of the proposal the board of directors proposes that a clause with the following wording, in all material aspects, are inserted in the articles of association clause 5.1 to replace the current clause 5.1:
"5.1 Authorization to the Board of Directors to issue Warrants with the corresponding capital increase
On the 14 May 2024 the Board of Directors is in accordance with section 155(2) of the Danish Companies Act authorized to issue warrants one or more times to the employees of the Company who, based on the opinion of the Board of Directors, make a special effort for the Company or who possess very special qualities that the Company benefits from.
The Board of Directors are authorized to make capital increases resulting from the Board of Directors exercising of its authorization.
Allocation of warrants cannot be made to the Company's Board of Directors, Management or the Company's original founders.
The Board of Directors' authorization is valid until 13 May 2029.
The authorization means that the Board of Directors is entitled to issue warrants one or more times, giving the stated employees the right to subscribe for up to 400,000 shares in the Company of DKK 0.08. The shares issued by the Board of Directors through exercise of the authorization may be subscribed for a price fixed by the Board of Directors, cf. the Danish Companies Act section 159(1). The price shall reflect the market price at the time of exercise of the authorization.
The authorization implies that the capital increase must be made by issuing new shares, that the new shares must be paid in cash and in full, that the new shares must belong to the same capital class as the existing shares, that the new shares are subscribed for in sizes of DKK 0.08, that there is no pre-emption right for existing owners of capital, that there are no restrictions on the negotiability of the shares in regards to future capital increases, that no restrictions apply to the transferability of the new shares, that none of the new owners of capital must be obliged to have its shares redeemed, that the new shares are negotiable instruments, and that the new shares must be registered by name and registered in the Company's register of shareholders, which is handled by VP Securities A/S or as decided by the Board of Directors.
The board of directors is entitled to make such changes and amendments to the articles of association as may be required as a result of the exercise of the authorisation and to have the changes registered with the Danish Business Authority.
The warrants issued pursuant to this authorisation are issued on the terms set out in the warrant program attached as appendix 5.1."

The board of directors can make the changes to the Company's articles of association, which are a necessary consequence of the capital increases made, including deleting this authorisation from the articles of association when the authorisation has been fully utilized or when the deadline has expired."
Proposal 3
The board of directors proposes to authorise the board of directors to increase the capital by conversion of debt. As part of the proposal the board of directors proposes that a clause with the following wording, in all material aspects, are inserted in the articles of association clause 5.2.2 to replace the current clause 5.2.2:

As part of the proposal the board of directors proposes that a clause with the following wording, in all material aspects, are inserted in the articles of association clause 5.2.3 to replace the current clause 5.2.3:
"5.2.3
The board of directors are in the period until 13 May 2029 authorized to carry out one or more capital increases whereby an aggregate amount of up to nominally DKK 1,600,000, equal to 20,000,000, shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.08, are contributed to the Company by payment in other values than cash. The subscription shall be at the market price determined by the board of directors.

The board of directors can make the changes to the Company's articles of association, which are a necessary consequence of the capital increases made, including deleting this authorisation from the articles of association when the authorisation has been fully utilized or when the deadline has expired."
Proposal 5
The board of directors proposes to limit the proposed clauses 5.2.1-5.2.3. As part of the proposal the board of directors proposes that a clause with the following wording, in all material aspects, are inserted in the articles of association clause 5.2.4 to replace the current clause 5.2.4:

Furthermore, the board of directors is authorised to resolve to increase the company's share capital by up to nominally DKK 3,200,000 upon exercise of warrants and to make such changes to these articles of association as required as part of the exercise of this authority.
The warrants issued pursuant to this authorisation are issued on the terms set out in the warrant program attached as appendix 5.2.6.
The authorisation implies that both the capital increase and the new shares (warrants) are issued on the terms that the new shares must belong to the existing capital class, that the capital shares are subscribed in amounts of DKK 0.08, that no partial payment can be made. The authorisation implies that the capital increase may take place by issuing new shares without pre-emptive rights for the company's existing shareholders. All new shares must have the same rights as the existing shares, so that the new shares do not confer special rights, are registered shares and negotiable instruments, that no restrictions shall apply to the negotiability of the new shares, and they give the right to dividends from the time of the share subscription. If the terms for the existing shares are amended the same amended terms shall apply for the shares issued under this authorisation.
