Purchase and sale of shares may take place on one or more occasion during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, at a price per share that is within the price range registered from time to time.

Authorization for the Board to decide on a new issue, item 17

The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting decide to authorize the Board, on one or more occasions, during the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting to decide on a new issue of common and/or preference shares, with or without derogation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights.

Shares may be subscribed to in cash, by payment in kind, through a set-off, or on conditions following from Chapter 2, section 5, of the Companies Act.

A new issue decided upon pursuant to the authorization shall take place with the intention of acquiring properties or participation rights in legal entities that own properties or with a view to capitalizing the Company prior to such acquisitions. A new issue pursuant to the authorization that takes place derogating from the shareholders' pre-emption rights shall take place at the market subscription price. An issue discount may be given at the market level, however, in the event of new issues of preference shares that take place derogating from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, which are subscribed to in cash. An issue discount at the market level shall be given in the event of rights issues.

Authorization for the Board to make minor adjustments of the decisions, item 18
