- Reduction of the B share capital by nominally DKK 17,498,200 from nominally DKK 792,060,700 to nominally DKK 774,562,500, corresponding to a reduction of the B share capital of 174,982 B shares of DKK 100 by cancelling treasury B shares. The reduction will at the earliest be executed within 4 weeks after a notice to the creditors has been issued in the Danish Business Authority's IT system.
