Organisation of AGM/EGMs
Companies are obliged to publicly announce the AGM between eight days and four weeks prior to the meeting.
So that the beneficial owner can exercise the vote, the securities must be registered in the beneficial owner’s name. Customers that want to vote at general meetings (physically or by a proxy) must instruct Clearstream Banking to register their shares in the name of the beneficial owner prior to the general meeting's record date as defined by the respective company. The re-registered shares must be transferred to a separate VP account.
Early redemptions
Drawings in the Danish securities market are performed according to a percentage-based drawing procedure. This applies to drawings on mortgage credit institution bonds as well as to drawings on government bonds. The percentage rate announced in the market will always be a factor with ten decimals.
