Brand Pantebreve A/S to convene an extraordinary general meeting with a view to considering resolutions 1 and 2 set out below. In continuation thereof, notice is hereby given that an extraordinary general meeting of Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S will be held on Tuesday, 7 December 2010, at 9:30 a.m., at Alm. Brand Huset, Auditoriet (the Auditorium), Midtermolen 7, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark, with the following agenda: 1. Election of a new member to the Board of Directors. 2. Resolution proposing that the general meeting authorises the Board of Directors to apply for Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S' shares to be delisted from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S. Re agenda item 1 It is expected that deputy chairman Mark J. Thorsen, Peter Aggerholm and Peter Nielsen will resign from the Board of Directors in connection with the extraordinary general meeting, and it is proposed that Deputy Chief Executive Jens Christian Peterson is elected as a new member. Jens Christian Peterson was employed as Senior Vice President of Alm. Brand Bank A/S in 2008, and in November 2009 he was appointed Deputy Chief Executive of the bank. Jens Christian Peterson is also a member of the management board of Alm. Brand Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary Ejendomsselskabet af 05.08.2010 ApS. In addition, Jens Christian Peterson is a member of the board of directors of (1) Ejendomsselskabet af 02.07.2009 ApS, (2) Ejendomsselskabet af 11/5 2009 ApS and (3) K/S Juventusvej, in which he is also a member of the management board. Board members are elected in accordance with article 9.1 of the articles of association for terms of one year, but it is proposed that Jens Christian Peterson is elected for the period until the annual general meeting in 2011. Re agenda item 2 Alm. Brand Bank A/S proposes that the Board of Directors is authorised to apply for Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S' shares to be delisted from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S. The reason for the proposed resolution is that on 12 October 2010 Alm. Brand Bank A/S submitted a recommended, voluntary, conditional tender offer to the shareholders of Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S with a view to becoming owner of all of the shares of Alm. Brand Pantebreve. It appears from the offer document that, if the tender offer is completed, Alm. Brand Bank A/S intends to initiate a compulsory redemption in accordance with sections 70-72 of the Danish Companies Act with a view to acquiring any remaining shares in Alm. Brand Pantebreve A/S not acquired by Alm. Brand Bank A/S in connection with the tender offer. On 12 October 2010, Alm. Brand Bank A/S announced that the tender offer will be completed.
