  2. The General Meeting adopted the updated remuneration policy for the Board of Directors and Management of A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S.
  3. The General Meeting adopted the Board’s proposal to decrease the Company’s share capital as follows:

The share capital will decrease from nominally DKK 18,707,161,000 with nominally DKK 1,137,446,000 in total, divided into 227,390 A shares and 910,056 B shares of DKK 1,000 to nominally DKK 17,569,715,000 by cancellation of own shares.

The capital decrease will take place at a premium as it will take place at a price of 1,655.52 and 1,695.54 for A and B shares, respectively, cf. section 188, (2) of the Danish Companies Act, corresponding to the average price at which the shares have been repurchased.
