This is to give notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Jyske Bank A/S, which will be held on Tuesday 27 April 2021, at 10.00 a.m. at Vestergade 8-16, 8600 Silkeborg, Denmark.
At the Annual General Meeting held on 23 March 2021, the motions to amend the Articles of Association were adopted. However, the members in General Meeting with a right to vote represented less than 90% of the share capital, wherefore the final adoption of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association is subject to adoption at an Extraordinary General Meeting.
