The decision to increase the share capital of the Bank was adopted by the board of directors on 5 March 2012 pursuant to article 3 of the Bank’s articles of association (the “Articles of Association”). Immediately prior to the Offering, the Bank’s registered share capital amounted to DKK 570,688,100 nominal value, divided into 57,068,810 shares with a nominal value of DKK 10 each (the “Existing Shares”). The Bank’s Existing Shares are admitted to trading and official listing on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S (“NASDAQ OMX”) under ISIN code DK0060036564. At 12:30 p.m. CET on 9 March 2012 (the “Allocation Time”), any person registered with VP Securities A/S (“VP Securities”) as a shareholder of the Bank (“Existing Share- holders”) will be allocated one (1) pre-emptive right (“Pre-emptive Right”) for each Existing Share held (Existing Shares together with the Offer Shares, the “Shares”). For every one (1) Pre-emptive Right, the holder will be entitled to subscribe for one (1) Offer Share against payment of DKK 16 per Offer Share (the “Offer Price”). The trading period for the Pre-emptive Rights (the “Rights Trading Period”) will commence on 7 March 2012 and close on 20 March 2012. The subscription period for the Offer Shares (the “Subscription Period”) will commence on 10 March 2012 and close on 23 March 2012 at 5:00 p.m. CET, inclusive.

Until such merger has been completed, the liquidity of the Offer Shares under the temporary ISIN code may be substantially different from the liquidity of the Existing Shares. As described in “Part II—The Offering—Terms and Conditions of the Offering—Underwriting Agreement”, the Offering is underwritten. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement (as defined), any Offer Shares which have not been subscribed for by holders of Pre-emptive Rights will be subscribed for by Carnegie Investment Bank AB and Danske Bank A/S, and, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Bank has thus been guaranteed the subscription of a total of 57,068,810 Offer Shares corresponding to the total gross proceeds of DKK 913.1 million in connection with the Offering. Carnegie Investment Bank AB and Danske Bank A/S are not jointly and severally liable. Among other conditions, the Underwriting Agreement is subject to the condition that the Group of Shareholders (as defined below) exercises Pre-emptive Rights under agreements on binding advance undertakings as described in “Part II—The Offering—Terms and Conditions of the Offering— Advance Undertakings and Underwriting Commitment”.

  • Local Acceptance and Communication As Crucial Elements for Realizing CCS in the Nordic Region
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 86 ( 2016 ) 315 – 323 The 8th Trondheim Conference on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage Local acceptance and communication as crucial elements for realizing CCS in the Nordic region a* b Jacob Kielland Haug , Peter Stigson aSINTEF Energy Research, P.O. Box 4761 Sluppen, NO-7465 Trondheim, Norway bIVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Valhallavägen 81, SE-114 27 Stockholm, Sweden Abstract The purpose of this paper was to assess the Nordic situation with regard to carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment at the local level. This was done by identifying important factors found in the literature on community acceptance and communication and relating this to possible CCS deployment in the Skagerrak region. The analysis was complemented with findings from interviews made with municipalities in the three countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway). The results show that the possibilities to store CO2 offshore may be a clear advantage for the Nordic region and that Porsgrunn municipality in Norway display very positive attitudes towards existing and potential CCS activities, which stands in contrast to the many public acceptance challenges experienced in Europe. Moreover, the municipalities display very different awareness about CCS, which is seen in relation to CCS experiences and national policies. © 20162015 The Authors.

  • Public Sector IS Maturity Models: Legal Pluralism Invades Public Schools
    Public Sector IS Maturity Models: Legal Pluralism Invades Public Schools Helle Zinner Henriksen, Kim Normann Andersen, Rony Medaglia Department of IT Management Copenhagen Business School, Howitzvej 60 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark {kna.caict, hzh.caict, rm.caict}@cbs.dk Abstract: Online applications and processing of tax forms, driver licenses, and construction permits are examples of where policy attention and research have been united in efforts aiming to categorize the maturity level of e-services. Less attention has been attributed to policy areas with continuous online citizen- public interaction, such as in public education. In this paper we use a revised version of the Public Sector Process Rebuilding (PPR) maturity model for mapping 200 websites of public primary schools in Denmark. Findings reveal a much less favorable picture of the digitization of the Danish public sector compared to the high ranking it has received in the international benchmark studies. This paper aims at closing the gap between the predominant scope of maturity models and the frequency of citizen-public sector interaction, and calls for increased attention to the activities of government where the scale and frequency of the interaction between citizens and government will challenge our concepts of maturity. Keywords: public sector; IS; adoption; maturity models; public schools; primary schools 1 Introduction In 2002, the Danish government published the “Act on transparency and openness in education” (2002 Act), introducing the requirement for public primary schools to use the Internet to provide data regarding student grades and wellbeing. The results of the take up of such measures in public primary schools are indeed very far from the objectives set out in the act.

  • Exploring the Resource and Capabilities of Food Related Enterprises in Rural Denmark: Implications for Rural Enterprises in Ghana
    Exploring the resource and capabilities of food related enterprises in rural Denmark: Implications for rural enterprises in Ghana 1 Isaac K. Arthur 2 Obi Berko O. Damoah Abstract Developing economies stands to gain much by learning from the experiences of the developed economies. The study aims to explore the extent to which rural food enterprises utilise their capabilities to organise their resources in the experience economy to create value and remain competitive. The article uses a qualitative open-ended interviews to explore the issues using two cases of small food related enterprises in Denmark. The purpose of the method is to allow the respondents to construct the meaning of the topic from their own perspectives. Using the dominant themes as the main techniques to analyse the data, coupled with the hermeneutics approach, the results show that an entrepreneur’s capability is crucial with regard to small enterprises in rural settings. Specifically, the two case studies illustrate the capabilities of business owners to identify assets at their establishments and the municipality level and reconfigure them into objects aimed at providing experiences for visitors seeking out for rural idyll. The implications of this study on policy and practice on entrepreneurship development in rural Ghana are suggested based on the results.

  • Report Name:Government to Cull All Mink in Denmark Due to COVID-19
    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: November 06,2020 Report Number: DA2020-0013 Report Name: Government to Cull All Mink in Denmark Due to COVID-19 Country: Denmark Post: The Hague Report Category: Agricultural Situation, Agriculture in the News, Pest/Disease Occurrences Prepared By: FSA/The Hague Staff Approved By: Christopher Riker Report Highlights: In the summer of 2020, the first mink farms in North Jutland were infected with coronavirus (COVID- 19). In response, the Danish government instituted various measures to stop the virus from spreading. Despite the Government’s efforts, the virus continued to spread and eventually mutated. By early November, the virus had spread to 216 farms spread across Jutland, and, according to the National Health Institute, one variant that can spread to humans was identified as being less susceptible to a future vaccine. As a result, the Danish Government made the difficult decision to cull the country’s entire mink population (as many as 17 million head). THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Background With roughly 1,200 farms, Denmark is the world's largest producer of mink skins. In addition to mink, Denmark also produces a small number of fox, chinchilla and rabbit skins. Kopenhagen Fur, the largest fur auction house in the world, sells Danish mink skins and an additional seven million skins from other countries, annually. Fur and mink skins are the third largest Danish agricultural export item of animal origin, representing an annual export value of approximately €1.1 billion ($1.30 billion).1 COVID-19 Appears on Mink Farms in Jutland After the Danish Patient Safety Authority identified a patient in June 2020 with coronavirus (COVID- 19) who was associated with a mink farm in North Jutland, samples were taken from 34 mink on the farm.
