(CVR no. 28 43 65 72)
Notice is hereby given to an Extraordinary General Meeting of DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK to be held on
Monday, 27 June 2022, at 15.00 (CEST)
The agenda is as follows:
a) Election of Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting
b) Proposal from the Board to amend the Articles of Association of DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK
Re a) – Election of chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting
The Board proposes election of Attorney-at-Law, Henrik Laursen as Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Re b) Proposal from the Board to amend the Articles of Association of DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK
At the Annual General Meeting held on 6 May 2022, the General Meeting did not constitute quorum to adopt the Board’s proposal to amend the Articles of Association of DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK. Pursuant to article 13 of the Articles of Association, the Chairman of the Board may call for an Extraordinary General Meeting if the General Meeting in such matters is not competent to transact business. At the following Extraordinary General Meeting, the items which were not considered at the original General Meeting due to the quorum requirements may be adopted by 3/4 of the votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
As such, the Board re-proposes to amend the Articles of Association of DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK as follows:
Re item b)(1):
The Board proposes that we align our new, more international style with our name – hence, we propose that our official name is changed to DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK.
Specifically, it is proposed to amend § 1 as follows (English and Danish):
Ҥ 1 Name
The name of the Association is DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK – with the alias Foreningen af Bioteknologiske Industrier i Danmark.”
Ҥ 1 Navn
Foreningens navn er DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK — med binavnet Foreningen af Bioteknologiske Industrier i Danmark.”
Re item b)(2):
The Board proposes that § 6(c) of the Articles of Association shall be amended so that the membership fees of DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK will be determined for the following calendar year (instead of the current calendar year).
The current § 6 will thus be amended as follows (English and Danish):
Ҥ 6 Agenda
[…]
c) Fastsættelse af kontingent for det følgende kalenderår.
[…]”
Ҥ 6 Dagsorden
[…]
c) Determination of membership fee for the following calendar year.
[…]”

The above proposal is identical to that proposed by the Board at the Annual General Meeting held on 6 May 2022.
The approved Articles of Association will be available on DANISH BIO – DANSK BIOTEK’s website after the Extraordinary General Meeting.
