Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Jyske Bank A/S
This is to give notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Jyske Bank A/S, which will be held on Tuesday 7 December 2021, at 10.00 a.m. at Vestergade 8-16, 8600 Silkeborg, Denmark.
AGENDA
Motions proposed by the Supervisory Board:
| a. | Reduction of Jyske Bank’s nominal share capital by DKK 35,607,780, or 3,560,778 shares of a nominal value of DKK 10, from DKK 725,607,780 to DKK 690,000,000. With reference to S.188(1) of the Danish Companies Act we point out that the capital reduction takes place through cancellation of previously acquired own shares acquired by Jyske Bank in accordance with authorisation from members in general meeting. Hence, the capital reduction is spent on payment of capital owners. If the motion is adopted, the bank’s holding of own shares will be reduced by 3,560,778 shares of a nominal value of DKK 10. These shares have been re-purchased at a total amount of DKK 1,050,219,052 which implies that, apart from the nominal capital reduction, a total amount of DKK 1,014,611,272 has been paid to the capital owners in connection with the buy-backs. The capital reduction takes place at a share premium since it will be at 294.94 for each share of a nominal amount of DKK 10, corresponding to the average price at which the shares have been re-purchased. In consequence of the above, the following amendment to the Articles of Association is proposed: |
| b. | Any other business. |

Adoption of motions – special requirements
Motions to amend Jyske Bank’s Articles of Association (item a of the agenda) at extraordinary general meetings shall only be adopted where not less than 90 per cent of the voting share capital is represented at the extraordinary general meeting and only where adopted by both three fourth of the votes cast and by three fourth of the voting share capital represented at the general meeting, cf. Art. 12 of the Articles of Association. Where less than 90 per cent of the voting share capital is represented at the extraordinary general meeting, but the said motion obtains both three fourth of the votes cast and three fourth of the voting share capital represented at the extraordinary general meeting, the said motion may be adopted at a new general meeting by the said qualified majority irrespective of the proportion of the share capital represented.
