Re 7a) Proposal to increase and extend the authorizations of the Board of Directors in Article 5a to increase the share capital

The Board of Directors proposes to increase and extend the authorizations of the Board of Directors in Article 5a of the Articles of Association, so that the Board of Directors until 30 June 2021 is authorized to increase the share capital of the Company in one or more issues by a total of nominally DKK 58,300,310, corresponding to 10% of the Company's share capital. The proposal entails amending Article 5a of the Articles of Association as follows:

"Subsection 1
For the period ending on 30 June 2021, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues with a total of nominally DKK 58,300,310 (5,830,031 shares of DKK 10 each) by the subscription of new shares. The existing shareholders shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for the amount by which the share capital is increased, proportional to their shareholdings. The share capital shall be increased by cash payment at a subscription price which may be lower than the value of the shares.

The terms and conditions of the subscription for shares shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares, and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The shares shall carry the right to dividend as from the date fixed by the Board of Directors, but not later than the first financial year following the capital increase.

Subsection 2
For the period ending on 30 June 2021, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to increase the Company's share capital in one or more issues with a total of nominally DKK 58,300,310 (5,830,031 shares of DKK 10 each) by the subscription of new shares. The existing shareholders shall not have pre-emption rights to subscribe for the amount by which the share capital is increased.

The share capital may be increased by cash payment or in other ways, such as by conversion of debts or in payment of a contribution in kind. The share capital shall in any event be increased at a subscription price, which is not lower than market value.

The terms and conditions of the subscription for shares shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares, and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The shares shall carry the right to dividend as from the date fixed by the Board of Directors, but not later than the first financial year following the capital increase.

Subsection 3
When exercising the authorizations given in Articles 5a(1) and 5a(2) the Board of Directors is overall authorized to increase the share capital of the Company with a total of nominally DKK 58,300,310 (5,830,031 shares of DKK 10 each)."

Re 7b) Proposal to increase and extend the authorization of the Board of Directors in Article 5b of the Articles of Association, so that the Board of Directors is authorized to issue warrants and to include in the authorization that the number of shares may be higher or lower due to subsequent adjustments of the warrants in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued

The Board of Directors proposes to increase and extend the authorization of the Board of Directors in Article 5b of the Articles of Association, so that the Board of Directors until 31 December 2021 is authorized to issue warrants, which entitle the holders to subscribe for shares in the Company at a nominal value of up to DKK 14,000,000 however, the number of shares may be higher or lower due to subsequent adjustments of the warrants in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued. The Board of Directors also proposes to extend the Board of Directors' authorization to reuse or reissue any lapsed and unexercised warrants under the terms and within the time limitations set out in this authorization. The proposal entails authorizing the Board of Directors to increase the share capital of the Company as a consequence of the issuance of warrants until 1 April 2025. Consequently, Article 5b of the Articles of Association is amended as follows:

"During the period ending 31 December 2021, the Company may issue warrants, in one or more portions by resolution of the Board of Directors. The warrants may be issued to the management and employees of the Company or its subsidiaries for the subscription of a nominal value of up to DKK 14,000,000 shares (1,400,000 shares of DKK 10 each), however, the number of shares may be higher or lower due to subsequent adjustments of the warrants in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued. The warrants can be exercised by cash contribution at a subscription price and on such other terms as the Board of Directors may determine. Any issuance of warrants to the management shall be made in accordance with the Company's Remuneration Policy. Warrants may not be granted to members of the Company's Board of Directors (except for employee representatives (if such have been elected) who receive warrants in their capacity as employees of the Company or of the Company's subsidiaries).

Holders of warrants shall have pre-emption right to subscribe for the shares, issued based on the warrants, meaning that the pre-emption rights to subscribe to warrants and new shares for existing shareholders are deviated from.

As a consequence of the exercise of awarded warrants, the Board of Directors is authorized during the period until 1 April 2025 to increase the share capital by a nominal value of up to DKK 14,000,000 shares (1,400,000 shares of DKK 10 each) in one or more portions by resolution of the Board of Directors by cash contribution at a subscription price and on such other terms as the Board of Directors may determine without pre-emption right for the existing shareholders. The number of shares by which the share capital may be increased may be higher or lower if the number of warrants is increased in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued.

The new shares issued based on warrants shall have the same rights as existing shares according to the Articles of Association. The new shares shall be negotiable instruments, shall be registered in the names of the holders and shall be entered in the Company's register of shareholders. No restrictions shall apply to the transferability of the new shares and no shareholder shall be obliged to have his shares redeemed - in whole or in part. The new shares shall carry the right to dividend from the time of subscription.

Subject to the rules in force at any time, the Board of Directors may reuse or reissue lapsed and unexercised warrants if any, provided that the reuse or reissue occurs under the terms and within the time limitations set out in this authorization. Reuse is to be construed as the Board of Directors' entitlement to let another party enter into an existing agreement on warrants. Reissue is to be construed as the Board of Directors' option to reissue new warrants, under the same authorization, if previously issued warrants have lapsed."

Re 7c) Proposal to amend Article 5d and Appendix 1 of the Articles of Association to clarify that the number of shares that can be subscribed when exercising warrants may be higher or lower than the number stated in the original authorizations granted by the general meeting due to subsequent adjustments of the warrants in accordance with the adjustment clauses determined by the Board of Directors when the warrants are issued

The Danish Business Authority has recently clarified that it is a requirement that both the authorization from the shareholders to authorize the Board of Directors to issue warrants and the decision by the Board of Directors to issue warrants explicitly state that if the warrants are adjusted, the number of shares to be issued by the exercise of the warrants may be higher than the maximum number stated in the authorization from the general meeting and in the board decision. Such statement was included in the board decisions mentioned in sections 12-18 in appendix 1 but was not mentioned in the authorizations from the general meeting.

On the basis thereof the Board of Directors propose this is clarified in Article 5d and in appendix 1 to the Articles of Association as set out in the draft Articles of Association attached to this notice.

Re 7d) Proposal to approve a new Remuneration Policy

The proposed new Remuneration Policy can be downloaded from www.bavarian-nordic.com/agm.

Re 7e) Proposal to approve remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Board Committees for the current financial year

The Board of Directors proposes to maintain the level of the annual base fee to the members of the Board of Directors for the financial year 2020; (i) the annual base fee to members of the Board of Directors will be DKK 300,000; (ii) the remuneration to the Chairman will be two and a half times the annual base fee (DKK 750,000); and (iii) the remuneration to the Deputy Chairman will be one and a half times the annual base fee (DKK 450,000).

In addition to the basic fee to the Board of Directors, the Board proposes that the Board as part of the remuneration receives Restricted Stock Units equal to 50% of the annual base fee of DKK 300,000 (for the Chairman, however, equivalent to 50% of two and a half times the annual base fee and the Deputy Chairman equivalent to 50% of one and a half of the base annual fee) in accordance with the Company's general guidelines for incentive pay.

The Board of Directors proposes that the members of the 3 board committees will receive an additional annual committee fee of DKK 100,000. The remuneration to the Chairmen of the board committees will, however, be one and a half times the annual committee fee (DKK 150,000). The Board of Directors has established an audit and risk committee, a nomination and compensation committee and will establish an additional committee titled the science, technology and investment committee.

Further, the Board of Directors proposes that each member of the Board of Directors receives (i) an attendance fee of DKK 5,000 for each board and/or committee meeting he/she attends to, which in no event can exceed DKK 5,000 per day or (ii) for members of the Board of Directors, who travel overseas in order to participate, a fee of USD 5,000. Furthermore, the Company pays the travelling expenses incurred by the board members in connection with board- and/or committee meetings, and any social costs associated with the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the board committees (e.g. mandatory contributions to social security in other countries).

Re 7f) Proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to purchase own shares

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors is authorized on behalf of the Company to acquire own shares in the Company.

It is therefore proposed that the following authorization is granted to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant
to Article 198 of the Danish Companies Act:

"The General Meeting hereby authorizes the Board of Directors to acquire own shares on behalf of the Company in accordance with Article 198 of the Danish Companies Act. The Company may only acquire own shares for a total nominal value of up to 10 % of the Company’s share capital for the time being. The remuneration paid in connection with the acquisition of own shares may not deviate by more than 10% from the price of the Company's shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the time of acquisition. This authorization is granted to the Company’s Board of Directors for the period until 31. December 2021."

Re 7g) Proposal to add a new item to the agenda for the annual general meeting in Article 12 of the Articles of Association regarding presentation of and indicative vote on the Remuneration Report

The Board of Directors proposes to add a new item to the agenda for the annual general meeting in Article 12 of the Articles of Association regarding presentation of and indicative vote on the Remuneration Report.

The Board of Directors proposes that the following item is added as a new item 4 in Article 12:

"Presentation of and indicative vote on the Remuneration Report."

Consequently, if the proposal is adopted the consecutive numbering of the following items in Article 12 will be amended. The proposal will have effect from the annual general meeting in 2021 when the first Remuneration Report will be presented.

Re 7h) Proposal to introduce the possibility of changing the form of general meetings to be held by electronic means only

The Board of Directors proposes that the possibility of holding general meetings by electronic means only is included in the Articles of Association and that a new Article 23 is added with the following wording under the heading "General meetings by electronic means":

"The Company's general meetings can be held by electronic means with no physical attendance possible. Participation in such general meetings shall take place via the Internet, on the Company's website and/or by videoconference."

Re 7i) Proposal to clarify in the Company's Articles of Association that the Company's corporate language is English
The Board of Directors proposes that Article 3 of the Company's Articles of Association is amended as follows:

"Subsection 1
The Company has English as corporate language and company announcements are published in English.

Subsection 2
General meetings are held in English with or without translation into Danish. Documents prepared for use by general meetings, including the notice convening the general meeting and the agenda with the complete proposals as well as any additional material, are prepared in English."
