Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Jyske Bank A/S
This is to give notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Jyske Bank A/S, which will be held on Tuesday 14 August 2018, at 10.00 a.m. at Vestergade 8-16, 8600 Silkeborg, Denmark.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3 July 2018, the motions to amend the Articles of Association were adopted. However, the members in general meeting with a right to vote represented less than 90% of the share capital, wherefore the final adoption of the amendments to the Articles of Association is subject to adoption at a second Extraordinary General Meeting.
The AGENDA for consideration and final adoption:
| Motions proposed by the Supervisory Board: | |
| a. | Reduction of Jyske Bank's nominal share capital by DKK 42,140,000, or 4,214,000 shares of a nominal value of DKK 10, from DKK 891,590,440 to DKK 849,450,440. With reference to S.188(1) of the Danish Companies Act we point out that the capital reduction takes place through cancellation of previously acquired own shares acquired by Jyske Bank in accordance with authorisation from members in general meeting. Hence, the capital reduction is spent on payment of the capital owners. If the motion is adopted, the company's holding of own shares will be reduced by 4,214,000 shares of a nominal value of DKK 10. These shares have been bought back at a total amount of DKK 1,499,967,588 which implies that apart from the nominal capital reduction a total amount of DKK 1,457,827,588 has been paid to the capital owners in connection with the buy-backs. The capital reduction takes place at a share premium since it will be at 355.95 for each share of a nominal amount of DKK 10, corresponding to the average price at which the shares have been bought back. In consequence of the above, the following amendments to the Articles of Association are proposed:Art.2 of the Articles of Association to be amended to the effect that the Bank’s nominal share capital be DKK 849,450,440 distributed on 84,945,044 shares. |
| b. | In connection with the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board proposes that the members in general meeting authorise the Supervisory Board to make such amendments as may be required by the Danish Business Authority in connection with registration of the Articles of Association. |
| c. | Any other business |
