Thus DKK 940,738,087 will be transferred to the free reserves. After the expiry of the deadline for creditors to file their claims and the implementation of the reduction in capital, Article 3(1) of the Articles of Association will be amended to read as follows: 'The share capital of the Company amounts to DKK 137,500,000 and is fully paid up.'
