Re 7) Election of Auditors
The Board of Directors proposes that KPMG (CVR-nr. 25578198) is elected as the Company's new auditor.

The Board of Directors further proposes that the appointment of KPMG, as the Company’s auditor, includes the duty to audit and provide statement of assurance on the Company’s sustainability report.

Due to legal requirements the Company’s auditor must be rotated at the general meeting in 2024. During the early spring of 2023, the Company initiated the process to tender the audit services in a tender process headed by the Finance, Risk and Audit Committee in accordance with applicable law. The process was based on a thorough evaluation of the received proposals and meetings with the participating audit companies. The Finance, Risk and Audit Committee ultimately decided in late 2023 to recommend to the Board of Directors the election of KPMG as the Company’s new auditor as KPMG best addressed and fulfilled the selection criteria defined in the tender documents and possesses the required and sufficient qualifications and competencies. Based on the recommendation of the Finance, Risk and Audit Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that KPMG is elected.

The Finance, Risk and Audit Committee has been free from influence by a third party and has not been subject to any contract with a third party restricting the choice by the general meeting on the selection of a statutory auditor or an audit firm.

Re 8a) Proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to increase the share capital
The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors in a new Article 5a, subsections 1-3 of the Articles of Association, during the period until 30 June 2025 is authorized to increase the share capital of the Company in one or more issues by a total of up to nominally DKK 78,097,830, corresponding to 10 % of the Company's share capital. The proposal entails amending Article 5a of the Articles of Association as follows:

"Subsection 1
For the period ending on 30 June 2025, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues with a total of up to nominally DKK 78,097,830 (7,809,783 shares of DKK 10 each) by the subscription of new shares. The existing shareholders shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for the amount by which the share capital is increased, proportional to their shareholdings. The share capital shall be increased by cash payment at a subscription price which may be lower than the value of the shares.

The terms and conditions of the subscription for shares shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares, and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The shares shall carry the right to dividend as from the date fixed by the Board of Directors, but not later than the first financial year following the capital increase.

Subsection 2
For the period ending on 30 June 2025, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues with a total of up to nominally DKK 78,097,830 (7,809,783 shares of DKK 10 each) by the subscription of new shares. The existing shareholders shall not have pre-emption rights to subscribe for the amount by which the share capital is increased.

The share capital may be increased by cash payment or in other ways, such as by conversion of debts or in payment of a contribution in kind. The share capital shall in any event be increased at a subscription price, which is not lower than market value.

The terms and conditions of the subscription for shares shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares, and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The shares shall carry the right to dividend as from the date fixed by the Board of Directors, but not later than the first financial year following the capital increase.

Subsection 3
When exercising the authorizations given in Articles 5a(1) and 5a(2) the Board of Directors is in total authorized to increase the share capital of the Company with a total of up to nominally DKK 78,097,830 (7,809,783 shares of DKK 10 each).”

Re 8b) Proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to obtain loans against issuance of convertible notes which give the right to subscribe for new shares in the Company
The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors in a new Article 5a, subsection 4 of the Articles of Association during the period until 30 June 2025 is authorized to obtain loans against issuance of convertible notes which give the right to subscribe for new shares in the Company and so that the Board of Directors is authorized to increase the share capital of the Company by up to nominally DKK 78,097,830, corresponding to 10 % of the Company's share capital.

The proposal entails adding a new subsection 4 to Article 5a of the Articles of Association as follows:

"Subsection 4
For the period ending on 30 June 2025, the Board of Directors is authorized to obtain loans in the Company by issue of convertible notes that give the right to subscribe for new shares in the Company by a maximum nominal value of up to DKK 78,097,830. The Company's existing shareholders shall not have pre-emption rights to grant loans. The loans shall be paid in cash. The terms and conditions for the loans and the convertible notes shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

As a consequence of the conversion of the convertible notes, the Board of Directors is authorized for the period ending 30 June 2025 to increase the Company's share capital by a nominal value of up to DKK 78,097,830 (7,809,783 shares of DKK 10 each) in one or more portions by resolution of the Board of Directors by conversion of the convertible notes and on such other terms as the Board of Directors may determine. The Company’s existing shareholders shall not have pre-emption right to subscribe for shares issued by conversion of the convertible notes.

The new shares issued based on convertible notes shall have the same rights as existing shares according to the Articles of Association. The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares, and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The new shares shall carry the right to dividend from the time of conversion of the issued convertible notes, i.e. from the time of subscription.”

The Board of Directors also proposes that Article 5a subsection 3 is amended as follows:

"Subsection 3
When exercising the authorizations given in Articles 5a(1), 5a(2), and 5a(4) the Board of Directors is in total authorized to increase the share capital of the Company with a total of up to nominally 78,097,830 (7,809,783 shares of DKK 10 each).”

Re 8c) Proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to issue warrants
The Board of Directors proposes to authorize the Board of Directors in a new Article 5b of the Articles of Association, so that the Board of Directors until 31 December 2025 is authorized to issue warrants, which entitle the holders to subscribe for shares in the Company at a nominal value of up to DKK 20,000,000 (identical to nominally DKK 20,000,000 last year). The Board of Directors also proposes to authorize the Board of Directors to reuse or reissue any lapsed and unexercised warrants under the terms and within the time limitations set out in this authorization. The proposal entails authorizing the Board of Directors to increase the share capital of the Company as a consequence of the issuance of warrants until 1 April 2029. Consequently, adding a new Article 5b to the Articles of Association as follows:

"During the period ending 31 December 2025, the Company may issue warrants, in one or more portions by resolution of the Board of Directors. The warrants may be issued to the management and employees of the Company or its subsidiaries for the subscription of a nominal value of up to DKK 20,000,000 (2,000,000 shares of DKK 10 each), however, the number of shares may be higher or lower due to subsequent adjustments of the warrants in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued. The warrants can be exercised by cash contribution at a subscription price and on such other terms as the Board of Directors may determine. Any issuance of warrants to the management shall be made in accordance with the Company's Remuneration Policy. Warrants may not be granted to members of the Company's Board of Directors (except for employee representatives (if such may have been elected) who receive warrants in their capacity as employees of the Company or of the Company's subsidiaries).

Holders of warrants shall have pre-emption right to subscribe for the shares issued based on the warrants, meaning that the pre-emption rights to subscribe to warrants and new shares for existing shareholders are deviated from.

As a consequence of the exercise of awarded warrants, the Board of Directors is authorized during the period until 1 April 2029 to increase the share capital by a nominal value of up to DKK 20,000,000 (2,000,000 shares of DKK 10 each) in one or more portions by resolution of the Board of Directors by cash contribution at a subscription price and on such other terms as the Board of Directors may determine without pre-emption right for the existing shareholders, however, the number of shares by which the share capital may be increased may be higher or lower if the number of warrants is increased in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued.

The new shares issued based on warrants shall have the same rights as existing shares according to the Articles of Association. The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The new shares shall carry the right to dividend from the time of subscription.

Subject to the rules in force at any time, the Board of Directors may reuse or reissue lapsed and unexercised warrants if any, provided that the reuse or reissue occurs under the terms and within the time limitations set out in this authorization. Reuse is to be construed as the Board of Directors' entitlement to let another party enter into an existing agreement on warrants. Reissue is to be construed as the Board of Directors' option to reissue new warrants, under the same authorization, if previously issued warrants have lapsed."

Re 8d) Proposal to approve the Remuneration Policy
There are no proposed changes to the Remuneration Policy.

The Remuneration Policy in its entirety must be submitted for approval by the shareholders at least every fourth year. The Board proposes that the Remuneration Policy is approved in its entirety. The Remuneration Policy was last approved in its entirety at the general meeting in 2020.

The Remuneration Policy can be downloaded from www.bavarian-nordic.com/agm.

Re 8e) Proposal to approve remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Board Committees for the current financial year
The Board of Directors proposes to maintain the same level of remuneration for the Board of Directors as was approved at the annual general meeting in 2023, and as set out below:

The Board of Directors proposes that (i) the annual base fee to members of the Board of Directors will be DKK 300,000; (ii) the remuneration to the Chair will be three times the annual base fee equivalent to DKK 900,000; and (iii) the remuneration to the Deputy Chair will be one point eight times the annual base fee equivalent to DKK 540,000.

In addition to the base fee, the Board of Directors proposes that the Board as part of the remuneration receives Restricted Stock Units equal to 50% of the annual base fee of DKK 300,000 (for the Chair, however, equivalent to 50% of three times the annual base fee and for the Deputy Chair equivalent to 50% of one point eight times the base annual fee) in accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy.

The Board of Directors further proposes that the members of the three board committees will receive an additional annual committee fee of DKK 120,000 per committee. The remuneration to the Chair of the board committees will, however, be two times the annual committee fee, thus DKK 240,000. The Board of Directors has established a Finance, Risk and Audit Committee, a Nomination and Compensation Committee and a Science, Technology and Investment Committee.

Finally, the Board of Directors proposes that each member of the Board of Directors receives (i) an attendance fee of DKK 5,000 for each board and/or committee meeting he/she attends to, which in no event can exceed DKK 5,000 per day or (ii) for members of the Board of Directors, who travel overseas in order to participate, a fee of USD 5,000. Furthermore, the Company pays the travelling expenses incurred by the board members in connection with board- and/or committee meetings, and any social costs associated with the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the board committees (e.g. mandatory contributions to social security in other countries).

Re 8f) Proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to purchase own shares on behalf of the Company
The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors is authorized on behalf of the Company to acquire own shares in the Company.

It is therefore proposed that the following authorization is granted to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to Article 198 of the Danish Companies Act:

"The General Meeting hereby authorizes the Board of Directors to acquire own shares on behalf of the Company in accordance with Article 198 of the Danish Companies Act. The Company may only acquire own shares for a total nominal value of up to 10 % of the Company’s share capital for the time being. The remuneration paid in connection with the acquisition of own shares may not deviate by more than 10 % from the price of the Company's shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the time of acquisition. This authorization is granted to the Company’s Board of Directors for the period until 31 December 2025."
