Re item 6: The following amendments to the Articles of Association have been proposed: (A) By the Supervisory Board: Article 4b should be worded as follows: "At the Annual General Meeting on 30 April 2009, the shareholders adopted new general guidelines for incentive pay for Executive Board members. The guidelines have been published on the corporate website." (B) By the Supervisory Board: Article 5 should be worded as follows: "No shareholder is obliged to have his shares redeemed in full or in part. Shares in the Company must be issued in the name of the holder and recorded in the Company's register of shareholders. The negotiability of the shares is not restricted in any way." Adoption of the proposed resolution requires a qualified majority. The resolution must therefore be carried by at least two thirds of the votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at the Annual General Meeting, see section 78 of the Danish Public Companies Act. (C) By the Supervisory Board: The Company's authorised registrar, VP Investor Services A/S, has changed its registered office address. Accordingly, Article 5a of the Articles of Association should be worded as follows: "The Company's register of shareholders is kept by the registrar appointed by the Supervisory Board: VP Investor Services Weidekampsgade 14 2300 København S Denmark" This amendment to the Articles of Association will be implemented without a vote. Comments on the resolutions proposed: Resolution A: The proposal implies a minor revision of the corporate guidelines for adoption of incentive programmes following the shareholders' resolution on 30 April 2008. The major part of the guidelines was implemented already in connection with the shareholders' resolution on 30 April 2007, and these provisions are maintained in the present proposal, with the exception of the revision at 30 April 2008. Due to the temporary enlargement of the Executive Board in 2008, it was resolved at the General Meeting on 30 April 2008 to increase the number of share options grantable to Executive Board members from 10% to 15%. Already at the General Meeting, it was announced that the revision of the current rules was temporary, and that another revision of the guidelines was anticipated at the General Meeting in 2009. Accordingly, a revision of the guidelines is proposed to the effect that Executive Board members may not, in any one year, receive more than 10% of all share options granted to employees in any one year, as against the current 15%. The rules have been combined in Annex 1 to this notice and must be adopted by the General Meeting to enter into force. After the General Meeting, the rules will be published on the corporate website so that everybody will be able at all times to become familiar with the incentive policy applicable to all employees of the Group. Resolution B: The main rule already today is that it is a precondition for exercising the usual rights in DSV, such as casting of votes at the Company's General Meeting, that the shares are recorded in the name of the holder, see Article 13 of the Articles of Association. It is therefore proposed that shares in the Company generally be reclassified as registered shares without imposing any restrictions on the negotiability of the shares. This will improve the possibilities of direct communication with all the Company's shareholders about Company matters, exercise of pre-emption procedures and similar administration of shareholders' rights. oooooo00000oooooo Admission cards with voting papers for the Annual General Meeting may be requested until 27 April 2009 at 4:00 p.m. by using the enclosed form or contacting VP Investor Services on tel. +45 43 58 88 66 or at www.uk.vp.dk/agm or www.dsv.com.
