AGENDA AND COMPLETE PROPOSALS:

1)      ELECTION OF A NEW MEMBER TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

With reference to company announcement no. 16, the Board of Directors proposes election of Peter Mørch Eriksen as new member of the Board of Directors. Assuming Peter Mørch Eriksen is elected, Thomas Magnussen will resign from the Board of Directors following the extraordinary general meeting, where the Board of Directors also expects to appoint Christopher Lindop as new chairman of the Board of Directors.

Due to his position as CEO of BioPorto A/S, Peter Mørch Eriksen will be considered non-independent under the criteria defined by the Danish Committee on Corporate Governance.

2)      PROPOSAL TO RENEW AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE WARRANTS

Due to recent changes in key leadership positions in the Company and the consequent issuance, exercise and/or lapsing of warrants, the combined total of outstanding and authorized warrants will in the near term be substantially reduced. To secure the Company’s ability to continue to attract and retain highly qualified employees and members of management, the Board of Directors proposes that the authorization in articles 17a of the Articles of Association be increased by 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 warrants, provided that the authorization remain subject to the existing limitation that the aggregate number of outstanding warrants shall not exceed the equivalent of 10% of the Company’s share capital from time to time. The authorization will further remain subject to other existing terms and conditions, including the expiration date of 29 April 2023.

Article 17a of the Articles of Association will consequently be deleted and replaced by the following:

“Until 29 April 2023, the board of directors is authorized to issue warrants, on one or more occasions, entitling the holder(s) to subscribe for up to nominally DKK 20.000.000 of the share capital of the Company. In no event shall the aggregate number of outstanding warrants issued by the Company allow for the issuance of shares representing more than 10% of the Company’s share capital from time to time. The new warrants may be issued to employees and the executive management of the Company or its subsidiaries and thus without pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders.

Issued warrants, that lapse unused or are returned to the Company, may be re-issued or re-used, subject always to the above limitations and provided that the exercise price shall equal the market price of the Company’s shares at the time the warrants are re-issued or re-used. The board of directors determines the detailed terms for warrants, including terms for the exercise of warrants. Potential performance requirements for the exercise of warrants (KPI’s) will be determined by the board of directors at the time of grant. Performance requirements, including the deadline for such requirements to be satisfied, can be amended only with the unanimous approval of the board of directors.

The board of directors is authorized to decide on the capital increases by cash payment pertaining to the warrants. All new shares shall be negotiable securities, shall have the same rights as the other shares and shall entitle the holder to dividends and other rights in the Company from the time determined by the board of directors when adopting the decision to increase the share capital. The new shares shall be paid in full, registered in the name of the holder and no restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares. The board of directors is authorised to amend the Articles of Association as required following exercise of this authorization.”

In case any warrants are issued after the convening notice but prior to the general meeting, the proposed authorization will be reduced accordingly.

The grant and subsequent issue of warrants is at all times subject to the Company’s Remuneration Policy and the terms and conditions set out in the Articles of Association, which are available on the Company’s website, www.bioporto.com. A mark-up of the Articles of Association is also attached as appendix 1 to this notice.

3)      AUTHORISATION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE GENERAL MEETING

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the chairman of the general meeting, with a right of substitution, to file the resolutions adopted with the Danish Business Authority and to make such amendments as the Danish Business Authority may require in order to register or approve the resolutions adopted.

8.7       Upon allocation of warrants, the Company's board of directors decide that section 8.1 to 8.6, cf. above, shall warrants shall be deviated in respect of such allocation. A deviation shall appear in appendix 1.3 under “Special terms”.

9       Adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares
9.1       If the Company’s capital structure is modified in a way which implies a reduction or an increase of the value of the allotted warrants, an adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares, which may be subscribed for when exercising warrants (the “Number of Shares”), must be made, so that the value of the warrants remains unaffected by the modification, with the hereto mentioned exceptions.

9.2       Adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Number of Shares must take place, inter alia, if the following events occur before the Beneficiary has exercised the warrants with the exceptions and modifications set out in clauses 9.3 and 9.4 below:

(a)    the Company’s issue of bonus shares;

(b)    increase of the Company’s share capital at a price, which is lower than the market price, except in case of a rights issue;

(c)    modification of the nominal amount of the Company’s shares without modifying the Company’s share capital respectively;

(d)    payment of dividend after divestment or licensing of a material part of the Company’s or the subsidiary's assets, where the assets or the remuneration for the assets constitute more than 20% of the Company’s book value;

(e)    reduction of the Company’s share capital by payment to the shareholders at a different price than the market price or a reduction of the Company’s share capital for the covering of losses,

(f)    Other situations where the Company’s capital structure is modified, including by issue of warrants, convertible bonds etc., which will affect the value of the issued warrants.

9.3       In the event of a modification of the nominal value of the Company’s shares in connection with a resolution to reduce the Company’s capital for the appropriation to a special trust and/or to cover losses, an adjustment of the Exercise Price or the Number of Shares must take place, however, each warrant must entitle the Beneficiary to subscribe for one (1) share at the new nominal value.

9.4       No adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the Number of Shares must take place as a result of:

(g)    an increase or reduction of the Company’s share capital at market price;

(h)    issue of shares, share options, warrants, convertible bonds or the like as part of an incentive scheme for members of the board of directors, the management and employees in the Company or a group company, regardless of whether such issue takes place at a discount price,

(i)    a capital increase as a result of the exercise of already issued warrants or conversion of already issued convertible bonds;

(j)    the Company participating in a merger or demerger as the surviving company, unless a capital increase takes place in connection to the merger or demerger, which implies an adjustment as set out in clause 9.2, and

(k)    changes to the value of the warrants resulting from derived effects of changes to the Company’s capital structure, including as a consequence of the operations of the Company’s business.

9.5       The Exercise Price cannot be reduced to a price below the par value (nominal value). If an adjustment of warrants pursuant to clause 9 will result in an Exercise Price reduced to a price below the par value, the warrants will lapse, unless the Beneficiary consents to an increase of the Exercise Price at par value without compensation for the Beneficiary.
