NOTICE TO CONVENE an extraordinary general meeting of Nordic Shipholding A/S
The Board of Directors hereby convenes an extraordinary general meeting of Nordic Shipholding A/S (CVR no. 76 35 17 16) (the “Company”) to be held on
Friday 23 December 2022, at 10.00 (CET)
Gorrissen Federspiel, Axel Towers, Axeltorv 2
DK-1609 Copenhagen V
Agenda:
- Proposal for voluntary liquidation of the Company
- Proposal for the election of liquidator
Complete proposals
Item 1 – Proposal for voluntary liquidation of the Company and to amend the articles of association
The board of directors proposes to the general meeting to resolve to liquidate the Company by voluntary solvent liquidation, with the effect that the Company enters into liquidation on 23 December 2022 in accordance with the rules on liquidation in Chapter 14 of the Danish Companies Act.
Any proceeds arising from the liquidation shall be distributed among the shareholders in accordance with their shareholdings in the Company at the time of the liquidation. At present, the Company does not expect that any proceeds will be available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders.
The background for the proposal is, as stated in company announcements no. 1 dated 6 January 2022 and no. 6 dated 1 April 2022, that the sale of the Group’s remaining vessels, Nordic Anne, Nordic Amy and Nordic Agnetha, has been completed and that the board of directors, as stated in company announcements no. 2 dated 21 January 2022 and no. 9 dated 25 May 2022, has been engaged in discussions with the various stakeholders of the Company regarding a responsible and sound wind-up of the Company.
The liquidation can be completed only after expiry of a statutory three-months notice period during which the creditors of the Company may submit any claims against the Company. After the expiry of the notice period, an additional extraordinary general meeting will be convened for the purpose of deciding upon the completion of the liquidation of the Company. The liquidation is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023, pending the closure of the Company's Singapore subsidiaries.
Upon expiry of the statutory notice period and the convening of the subsequent extraordinary general meeting deciding upon the completion of the liquidation of the Company, the Company will file a request for deletion of the Company's shares from trading and listing at Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S.
If the proposal for voluntary liquidation is adopted, the following amendments to the articles of association of the Company will be made as a consequence:
- The name of the Company is amended to Nordic Shipholding A/S under liquidation. Section 1.1 of the Articles of Association will consequently have the following wording:
"The name of the Company is Nordic Shipholding A/S under liquidation."
- The Company's signature rule is amended so that the Company is bound by the signature of the liquidator. Section 12.1 of the Articles of Association will consequently have the following wording:
" The Company shall be bound by the signature of the liquidator."
- Section 12.2 regarding the authority of the board of directors to grant powers of procuration shall be deleted.
Item 2 – Proposal for the election of the liquidator
If the proposal for voluntary liquidation is adopted, the board of directors further proposes that attorney-at-law Louise Celia Korpela, Gorrissen Federspiel Advokatpartnerselskab, Axeltorv 2, 1609 Copenhagen V, be appointed liquidator of the Company.
