Adoption of motions - requirements
The motion to pay extraordinary dividend shall only be adopted at the Extraordinary General Meeting by a simple majority of votes. A simple majority in favour of the motion requires that the number of votes in favour of the motion exceeds the number of votes against the motion.
Size of the share capital, voting rights of the shareholders and registration date
Jyske Bank's share capital is DKK 950,399,990, comprising shares at a face value of DKK 10. It was resolved to reduce the share capital to DKK 891,590,440 through cancellation of previously acquired own shares as adopted at Jyske Bank's extraordinary general meeting on 20 April 2017. The capital reduction is proceeding according to plan and follows the statutory procedure in the Danish Companies Act. The capital reduction has therefore not yet been registered as completed at the Danish Business Authority.
If the capital reduction has been finally completed before the extraordinary general meeting, the share capital will amount to DKK 891,590,440 distributed on shares at a face value of DKK 10. If the capital reduction has not been finally completed before the extraordinary general meeting, the share capital amounts to DKK 950,399,990 distributed on shares at a face value of DKK 10.
Each share amount of DKK 10 shall carry one vote, provided always that 4,000 votes are the highest number of votes any one shareholder may cast on his own behalf. Voting rights can only be exercised by shareholders or their proxies. For the voting right of a share to be exercised, the share shall be registered in the name of the holder in the Bank's register of shareholders not later than on the day of registration, which is 26 May 2017, or the title to such share shall be notified and documented to the Bank within that same time limit. Nobody shall be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to Jyske Bank's own shares, including the shares comprised by the capital reduction.
