The Board of Directors hereby convenes an extraordinary general meeting of DanCann Pharma A/S, CVR-no. 39 42 60 05 (“Company”), to be held on

Monday, 7 October 2024 at 09:00 am (CET)

at DanCann Pharma A/S’ address, Rugvænget 5, 6823 Ansager, Denmark

The agenda for the extraordinary general meeting is as follows:

Pursuant to art. 11.20 of the Company’s articles of association, the Board of Directors appoints Lawyer Michael Kristensen as chairman of the meeting.

Complete agenda:

Re 1: Proposed resolution to reduce the Company's share capital by transfer of the amount to a special reserve fund (in Danish: henlæggelse til særlig reserve) by way of reduction of the nominal value per share of the Company, including consequential amendments to the articles of association

It is proposed to reduce the share capital of the Company by nominally DKK 13,869,911.106 from nominally DKK 15,411,012.34 to nominally DKK 1,541,101.234 by transfer of the amount to a special reserve fund (in Danish: henlæggelse til særlig reserve), cf. article 188(1)(3) of the Danish Companies Act.

The capital reduction will be completed at a price of 100 (in Danish: kurs 100), equal to a market value (in Danish: kursværdi) of DKK 13,869,911.106. 

The capital reduction is completed by way of a proportionate reduction of the nominal value of each share of the Company from nominally DKK 0.01 to nominally DKK 0.001.

The total number of outstanding shares is unaffected by the capital reduction, and each shareholder’s holding of shares is unchanged.

Adoption of the proposal will imply that:

(1)        the Company’s share capital as set out in article 3.1 of the articles of association is changed from “DKK 15,411,012.34” to “DKK 1,541,101.234”;

(2)        any reference to a nominal value per share of DKK 0.01 in the Company’s articles of association is amended to a reference to a nominal value of DKK 0.001 per share;

(3)        any remaining and unexercised part of existing authorisations to the Board of Directors as set out in articles 5 and 6 of the articles of association (regarding capital increases and issues of warrants) is reduced correspondingly (10:1); and

(4)        the maximum nominal amount of the shares that can be subscribed for upon exercise of any outstanding and unexercised warrants issued by the Company is reduced correspondingly (10:1)

All consequential amendments of the articles of association of the Company resulting from the adoption of the proposal are set out in mark-up in draft articles of association (including schedules) enclosed as Schedule 1, except that, as it is proposed under items 2-5 on the agenda that the existing authorisations to the Board of Directors as set out in articles 5 and 6.1-6.7 of the articles of association shall lapse and be replaced in its entirety by new authorisations, amendments to these articles (as set out in number 2 above) do not appear in the mark-up.

The amount transferred to the special reserve shall be a free/distributable reserve.

Before completing the capital reduction, the creditors of the Company are given notice requesting them to file their claims against the Company during a 4-week notice period (“proklama”) which commence with effect from the date of registration of the capital reduction with the Danish Business Authority, cf. article 192(1) of the Danish Companies Act. Such notice is given by way of registration in the IT-system of the Danish Business Authority.

It is proposed that the general meeting authorises the Board of Directors to complete and register the capital reduction upon expiry of the 4-week notice period and complete the amendments to the articles of association in accordance with the proposed resolution.

In reference to article 156(2), cf. article 185, of the Danish Companies Act, the following documents are attached for the purpose of this proposal:

-          The Company’s annual report of 2023 (Schedule 2)

-          A report by the Board of Directors of the Company regarding events of major importance to the Company's position that have occurred after presentation of the annual report of 2023 (Schedule 3)

-          A declaration by the Company's auditor about the report from the Board of Directors (Schedule 4)

The capital increase can be by way of cash contribution, contribution in kind and/or conversion of debt (to be decided by the Board of Directors) and can be below market price.

Shares issued pursuant to this authorisation shall be issued in the name of the holder and registered in the Company’s register of shareholders, be fully paid up, be negotiable instruments, there shall be no restrictions on the negotiability of the shares, and the shares shall in every respect carry the same rights as the existing shares.

The Board of Directors is authorised to lay down the terms and conditions for the capital increases pursuant to this authorisation and to make such amendments to the Company’s articles of association as may be required as a result of the Board of Directors’ exercise of said authorisation.
