Re 1

Attorney-at-law Zygmunt Auster, Plesner Law Firm, was in accordance with
section 6.1 of the articles of association appointed chairman of the meeting by
the board of directors (the 'Board'). Accordingly, item 1 was withdrawn from
the agenda. 

The chairman of the meeting noted that the Extraordinary General Meeting, in
accordance with section 9.2 of the articles of association, was to be held in
English without simultaneous translation to Danish. 

The Extraordinary General Meeting had been convened electronically via NASDAQ
OMX Copenhagen A/S' reporting system and on the Company's website on 3 May
2012. The notice convening the meeting had also been made public via the
information system of the Danish Business Authority. The shareholders, who had
requested so, had received a notice on the same day. 

The chairman of the meeting concluded that the Extraordinary General Meeting
had been duly convened in accordance with the Danish Companies Act and the
Company's articles of association. None of the present shareholders made any
objection in that respect. 

The chairman of the meeting noted that according to the report from VP Services
A/S DKK 123,876,074 equal to 71.77 % of the Company's share capital were
present in person or represented by powers of attorneys. 



Re 2

The chairman of the meeting asked Petr Skrla, a member of the Board, to address
the meeting and substantiate item 2 of the agenda. 

Petr Skrla informed the shareholders that the Board continues its efforts to
complete the sale according to the mentioned sales and purchase agreement of 3
April 2012, as described in Company release no. 5, 4 April 2012. 

Petr Skrla also informed that there are certain important conditions, which
have not been met yet. There is, however, an expectation that these conditions
will be clarified and fulfilled during the next hours. As a result, the Board
suggested that the current Extraordinary General Meeting was suspended and
subjected to continuation later on this day 25 May 2012, at 4:00 p.m. 

The chairman of the meeting consequently decided to postpone the Extraordinary
General Meeting until 25 May 2012 at 4:00 p.m., where the meeting would be
reassumed. The participating shareholders had no objections in that respect. 

At 4:00 p.m. the Extraordinary General Meeting was reconvened.

All shareholders present at the Extraordinary General Meeting's beginning were
present again. 

Petr Skrla informed the shareholders that the remaining conditions had been
resolved adequately and that the meeting could be reassumed and continued in
accordance with the agenda. 

Petr Skrla set out the circumstances of this Extraordinary General Meeting, the
results of the sales process, and the main items of the sales and transfer
purchase agreement between the Company and FFIRE Investment GmbH and Value
Development GmbH, dated 3 April 2012. 

Petr Skrla explained the reasons for the position taken unanimously by the
Board and recommended on behalf of the Board that the shareholders approved the
transaction. 

Petr Skrla concluded that although the proceeds from the transaction were
unfortunately not expected to suffice for any distribution to the shareholders,
the transaction from the Board's point of view was to the advantage of the
Company and the other stakeholders. 

The shareholders had the possibility to ask questions.

The chairman of the meeting stated that the motion may be carried if minimum
2/3 of the votes cast as well as at least 2/3 of the share capital represented
at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote in favour. 

The proposal to approve the transaction was adopted unanimously by the votes of
all present and represented shareholders. 



Re 3

The chairman of the meeting gave the floor to Martin Coté, CEO, and member of
the Board. 

Martin Coté presented the Board's motion that the Company enter into
liquidation proceedings as per 25 May 2012, pursuant to chapter 14 of the
Danish Companies Act. 

Further, Martin Coté announced that the Board has agreed to propose
Rechtsanwalt, Dr. Christian Eichberger, Stresemannstraße 76, 10963 Berlin,
Germany, to be elected as the liquidator and as such to replace the Board and
the management. 

Martin Coté made a short presentation of Dr. Christian Eichberger and the
motivation for the proposal. 

The chairman of the meeting stated that the motion may be carried if minimum
2/3 of the votes cast as well as at least 2/3 of the share capital represented
at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote in favour. 

The proposal was adopted unanimously by the votes of all present and
represented shareholders. 

Hence, the Extraordinary General Meeting approved the proposal and the
appointment of Dr. Christian Eichberger as liquidator. The present Board and
management will thus be replaced by Dr. Eichberger as per the date of this
Extraordinary General Meeting and deregistered as per the date of the
notification to the Danish Business Authority. 



Re 4

Pursuant to item 3, the chairman of the meeting presented the proposal that the
Company files an application for the delisting of the Company's shares from
trading and official listing with NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S.

The chairman of the meeting noted that the motion may be carried by simple
majority. 

The proposal was adopted unanimously by the votes of all present and
represented shareholders. 



Re 5

The chairman of the meeting noted that item 3 of the agenda - the liquidation
of the Company and appointment of Dr. Christian Eichberger as liquidator had
been approved. 

Accordingly, item 5 was withdrawn from the agenda.
