Notice to U.S. Shareholders
The Offer is in respect of the shares in the Company, a public limited liability company incorporated and admitted to trading on a regulated market in Denmark.

Shareholders in the Company who are resident in the United States (“CPH U.S. Shareholders”) are advised that the shares in the Company (the “CPH Shares”) are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”) and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder. The Offer is also being made to U.S. CPH Shareholders on the same terms as those applying to all other shareholders of the Company to whom the Offer is made. The Offer is being made by the Offeror and no one else.

The Offer is subject to and being made in accordance with the requirements of Danish law, including the Danish Capital Markets Act and the Danish Takeover Order, and Danish practice.

The Offer is being made in compliance with the applicable U.S. tender offer rules under the U.S. Exchange Act, including Regulation 14E promulgated thereunder, relying on the exemptions available for “Tier I” tender offers under the U.S. Exchange Act, and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Danish law.

Accordingly, U.S. CPH Shareholders should be aware that the Information and any other documents regarding the Offer have been prepared in accordance with, and will be subject to, the disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, the Offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments of Danish law and practice, which may materially differ from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer law and practice. In addition, the Information has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or derived therefrom, and may therefore differ from, or not be comparable with, financial information of U.S. companies.

Unless required by applicable law, no registrations, approvals, admissions or authorisations have been applied for or granted in respect of the Information and/or the Offer outside of Denmark.

In accordance with the laws of, and practice in, Denmark and to the extent permitted by applicable law, including Rule 14e-5(b) under the U.S. Exchange Act, the Offeror, the Offeror’s affiliates or any nominees or brokers of the foregoing (acting as agents, or in a similar capacity, for the Offeror or any of its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time, and other than pursuant to the Offer, directly or indirectly, purchase, or arrange to purchase, CPH Shares or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such CPH Shares, inside or outside the United States, before or during the period in which the Offer remains open for acceptance so long as those acquisitions or arrangements comply with applicable Danish law and practice. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases will be announced via Nasdaq Copenhagen and relevant electronic media if, and to the extent, such announcement is required under applicable Danish law and practice. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Denmark, such information will be disclosed by means of a press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. CPH Shareholders of such information.

In addition, subject to the applicable laws of Denmark and U.S. securities laws, including Rule 14e-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act, the financial advisers to the Offeror or their respective affiliates may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of the Company, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities. 

In the ordinary course of business, the financial advisers to the Offeror and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments including serving as counterparties to certain derivative and hedging arrangements and actively trade debt and equity financial instruments (or related derivative financial instruments) and other types of financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and financial instrument activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company.

It may not be possible for U.S. CPH Shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon the Company, the Offeror or any of their respective affiliates, or their respective officers or directors, some or all of which reside outside the United States, or to enforce against any of them judgments of the United States courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or other U.S. law, including as the Offeror is a sovereign state.

It may not be possible to bring an action against the Offeror, the Company and/or their respective officers, directors, ministries, agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivision (as applicable) in a non-US court for violations of U.S. laws. Further, it may not be possible to compel the Offeror and/or the Company or their respective affiliates, as applicable, to subject themselves to the judgment of a U.S. court. In addition, it may be difficult to enforce in Denmark original actions, or actions for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.

The Offer may have consequences under U.S. federal income tax and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each U.S. CPH Shareholder is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Offer.
