According to the articles of association, all members of the board of directors elected by the general meeting are elected for a term of one year.

The board of directors proposes the re-election of the following members in accordance with the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee:

  • Monika Lessl (Chair)
  • Alexander Thomas Martensen-Larsen (Deputy Chair)
  • Niels Vrang
  • Jacob Jelsing
  • Astrid Haug

  • Arndt Justus Georg Schottelius


In accordance with paragraph 3.2.1 of the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance, Alexander Thomas Martensen-Larsen, Astrid Haug, Arndt Justus Georg Schottelius, Claudia Mitchell and Monika Lessl are considered independent.

A description of the backgrounds of the proposed candidates is attached as Appendix 1 to this notice.

Re agenda item 8
Election of auditor.

The board of directors proposes the re-election of PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab (PwC) as the Company's auditor for financial purposes in accordance with the Audit Committee's recommendation.
The Audit Committee has not been influenced by third parties and has not been subject to any agreement with third parties, which limits the general meetings election of certain auditors or audit firms.

Re agenda item 9
Authorisation to acquire treasury shares.

No proposal has been made under this agenda item, as the board of directors in connection with the IPO was authorised in the period until 14 March 2028 to approve the acquisition of treasury shares, on one or more occasions, with a total nominal value of up to 10% of the share capital of the Company. The consideration may not deviate more than 10% from the official price quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S at the time of the acquisition.

Re agenda item 10
Proposal from the board of directors to renew and increase the existing authorisation to issue warrants.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting adopts to renew and increase the existing authorisation for the board of directors to issue warrants pursuant to articles 7.1-7.3 of the articles of association.

The renewal of the authorization is proposed inserted in the Company's articles of association as a new article 7.8 with the following wording:

Generalforsamlingen har den 26. marts 2026 besluttet yderligere at forhøje og forlænge bemyndigelsen til bestyrelsen i punkt 7.1 til at udstede warrants, som senest ændret ved punkt 7.5. Bemyndigelsen forlænges indtil den 26. marts 2031 og forhøjes med 120.277 warrants, der giver indehaverne ret til tegning af aktier i Selskabet for et samlet nominelt beløb på op til yderligere DKK 120.277. I det hele gælder vilkårene som beskrevet i punkt 7.1 - 7.3. Det samlede udestående antal warrants, der kan udstedes i henhold til bemyndigelsen i punkt 7.1, udgør herefter i alt 500.000. On 26 March 2026, the general meeting decided further to increase and extend the authorisation for the board of directors to issue warrants in accordance with article 7.1 as most recently amended by article 7.5. The authorisation is extended until 26 March 2031 and increased by 120,277 warrants, which give the holders the right to subscribe for shares in the Company up to an additional aggregate amount of nominally DKK 120,277. In all, the terms set forth in articles 7.1-7.3 shall apply accordingly. The total number of warrants that remains available for issuance under the authorisation in article 7.1 is hereinafter 500,000.

A draft version of the revised articles of association reflecting the proposed amendments (tracked) pursuant to this item 10 is available on the Company's website www.gubra.dk under the Investor section.

Following the general meeting the adopted articles of association will be uploaded on the Company's website www.gubra.dk under the Investor section.

Re agenda item 11
Proposal from the board of directors to remove articles 6.5 and 6.5.1 of the Company's articles of association.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to remove articles 6.5 and 6.5.1 of the Company's articles of association.

Article 6.5 and 6.5.1 was adopted in connection with the Company's initial public offering and served a specific purpose in that context. As such, it constitutes a legacy IPO provision and is no longer considered necessary.
The draft revised articles of association are available on the Company's website: www.gubra.dk under the Investor section.
Following the general meeting the adopted articles of association will be uploaded to the Company's website: www.gubra.dk under the Investor section.

Re agenda item 12
The Company has not received any proposals from shareholders to be included on the agenda.

Re agenda item 13
