PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

According to the Danish Companies Act, the general meeting is allowed to discharge our board members and members of our executive management from liability for any particular financial year based on a resolution relating to the financial statements. This discharge means that the general meeting will discharge such board members and members of our executive management from liability to our company. However, the general meeting cannot discharge any claims by individual shareholders or other third parties. In addition, the discharge can be set aside in case the general meeting prior to its decision to discharge was not presented with all reasonable information necessary for the general meeting to assess the matter at hand.

Additionally, we have agreed to indemnify our board members and members of our executive management and employees, in relation to certain claims. We will not, however, indemnify our board members, executive management and employees, in respect of: (i) claims against a person pursuant to Danish law raised before the Danish Courts, except claims arising from the offer, sale and listing of the our securities in the United States and/or its subsequent status as a listed company in the United States, including in respect of our reports filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; (ii) claims against a person for damages and legal costs related to criminal and/or grossly negligent or willful acts or omissions committed by the indemnified person; (iii) claims against an indemnified person, which is attributable to the gaining or purported gaining of any profit or advantage to which the indemnified person or any related natural or legal person was not legally entitled; (iv) claims covered by insurance; (v) claims brought against the indemnified person by us or any subsidiary of ours; and (vi) any sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of the indemnified person’s personal non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature howsoever arising. The indemnification will be limited to a maximum amount per claim per person equivalent to the gross proceeds obtained by us in this offering. The indemnification shall remain in force for a period of five years after the resignation of the indemnified person from us or our subsidiaries, if the claims made within such period are related to such person’s services to us.

There is a risk that such indemnification will be deemed void under Danish law, either because the indemnification is deemed contrary to the rules on discharge of liability in the Danish Company Act, as set forth above, because the indemnification is deemed contrary to sections 19 and 23 of the Danish Liability and Compensation Act, which contain mandatory provisions on recourse claims between an employee (including members of our executive management) and the company, or because the indemnification is deemed contrary to the general provisions of the Danish Contracts Act.

The form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also provide for indemnification of us and our directors and officers upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified therein.

In addition, we provide our board members and executive management with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

On July 29, 2020, we issued 31,250 ordinary shares in connection with the vesting and exercise of Matching Shares.

The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in the preceding paragraphs were exempt from registration either: (a) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in that the transactions were between an issuer and sophisticated investors and did not involve any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2); (b) in reliance on Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act in that offers, sales and issuances were made only to ‘‘qualified institutional buyers’’ (as such term is defined in Rule 144A(a)(1); (c) under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation; or (d) under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act in that offers, sales and issuances were not made to persons in the United States and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a) Exhibits

See the Exhibit Index.

The agreements included as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosure that was made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.

Notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, we are responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosure of material information regarding material contractual provisions is required to make the statements in this registration statement not misleading.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

All schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or has been included in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (i)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  (ii)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

1   For the purpose of this Opinion we have examined the following documents and performed the following investigations:

e)  a copy of the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors of the Company on 4 September 2020, 21 September 2020, and the draft resolution expected to passed by the Board of Directors on or around 24 September 2020, respectively approving inter alia the Global Offering documents, the application for admission to listing of the ADSs on Nasdaq Global, the issuance and sale of the Underlying Shares and the Offered ADSs, and resolving to accept the Company’s participation in the listing and Global Offering process;

 

f)   an online transcript of 21 September 2020 (before 8 pm CET) from the Danish Business Authority (in Danish: “Erhvervsstyrelsen”) concerning the Company; and

The documents mentioned in Sections 1a)—1g) above are referred to as the “Documentation” and individually as a “Document”.

 

2   In considering the above Documents for the purposes of delivering this Opinion we have assumed:

 

a)  that any copies of the Documents that we have reviewed are complete and accurate copies of the originals of such Documents and that the originals of such Documents were executed in the manner appearing on such copies and that all material supplied to us (whether original or in copy) is authentic, has been supplied in full and has not subsequently been amended;

b)  the genuineness of all signatures and dates and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals;

  

c)  that each Document is true, correct and fully updated and has not been amended or revoked after the date of each such Document;

  

d)  the information contained in the online transcripts dated 21 September 2020 from the Danish Business Authority (Section 1f)) concerning the Company being accurate, complete and fully updated;

  

e)  that the subscription price established for the ADSs, and by extension the Underlying Shares, is the prevailing market price established on the basis of a book-build process as such term is construed under prevailing Danish market practice, in accordance with applicable Danish corporate law principles, for the ADSs, and by extension the Underlying Shares at the time of issue;

  

f)   the genuineness of all signatures and dates on all Documents examined by us, and that the identities of the signatories are as stated or written, other than the minutes referred to in Section 1d);

h)  that there are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction (other than Denmark) that would have any adverse implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein;

i)   that the Company will, simultaneously with respectively the Closing Time and the Date of Delivery (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), receive payment for respectively all of the Offer Shares;

  

j)   the accuracy and completeness of all factual matters, statements of fact, factual representations, warranties and other information as to matters of fact described or set forth in the Documents, as we have not made any independent investigation in respect thereof;

  

k)  the due compliance of all matters with and validity and binding effect under such laws as govern any activities contemplated other than the laws of Denmark in respect of which we are opining;

  

l)   that a “corporate benefit”, as such term is construed under Danish law, will accrue to the Company from entering into any transactions related to the Documents, if relevant; and

  

m)   that all formalities and requirements of the laws, regulations or rules of stock exchanges of any relevant jurisdiction other than Denmark and of any regulatory authority therein, applicable to the execution, performance, delivery, perfection and enforceability of any Document have been or will be duly complied with.

  

3   This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

  

a)  This Opinion is given only with respect to the laws of Denmark as in force today and as such laws are currently applied by Danish courts and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction nor have we made any investigations as to any law other than the laws of Denmark;

  

b)  the ability of a Danish limited liability company to delegate authority in general to third parties to act on its behalf is restricted pursuant to Danish law. Thus, the granting by a Danish limited liability company of powers to third parties to act on their behalf may be considered void and set aside by the Danish courts if the powers are not restricted to specific, limited and well-defined matters and given for a certain period of time;

  

c)  in rendering this opinion we have relied as to certain matters of information and fact obtained from the Company and other sources reasonably believed by us to be credible;

  

d)  we express no opinion as to the exact interpretation of any particular wording in any Document by a court;

  

e)  the online transcript from the Danish Business Authority listed in 1f) is not conclusive evidence of whether or not: (i) a winding up or administration order has been issued, (ii) a resolution for winding up has been passed; or (iii) an administrator or liquidator

has been appointed. Notice of the matters listed in (i), (ii) and (iii) in this paragraph may not be filed with the Danish Business Authority immediately and, when filed, may not be entered in the relevant company’s public file immediately. In addition, such transcripts do not report petitions for winding up or administration prior to the issuance of the order therefore; and

  

f)   in this Opinion Danish legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original Danish terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions.

  

4   Based upon and subject to the assumptions and the qualifications above we are of the opinion that:

  

a)  The Company is a limited liability company (in Danish: “aktieselskab”) registered and validly existing under the laws of Denmark;

  

b)  Pursuant to the Articles of Association and the information contained in the online transcript dated 21 September 2020 from the Danish Business Authority (Section 1f)), the ordinary shares of the Company, excluding any Underlying Shares to be issued in connection with the Global Offering, has been validly issued and has been registered with the Danish Business Authority and constitute valid and fully paid shares;

  

c)  the Underlying Shares, will upon final approval by the Board of Directors in accordance with the draft resolution expected to be passed on or around 24 September 2020 referred to in Section 1e), subscription, payment in full, issuance with VP Securities A/S and registration with the Danish Business Authority, constitute valid and fully paid shares; and

  

d)  there are for holders of the Underlying Shares, if issued, no obligation to provide additional funding pursuant to the Articles of Association or the Danish Companies Act.

   We advise you that we are not assuming any obligation to notify you of any changes in this opinion as a result of any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention in the future or as a result of any changes in laws which may hereafter occur.
   This opinion is limited to matters of the laws of Denmark (excluding Greenland and the Faroe Islands) as in effect and applied on the date of this opinion and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction, nor have we made any investigation as to any laws other than the laws of Denmark.
   This opinion shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Danish law, and any legal suit action or proceeding against us by the Company arising out of or based upon this opinion shall be exclusively instituted in a Danish court.
