The Audit Committee has not been influenced by third parties and has not been subject to any agreement with third parties that limits the General Meeting to electing certain auditors or audit firms as auditor.
Re item (6):
The Board of Directors requests that the General Meeting authorizes the Company to acquire, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, treasury shares directly and/or acquire American depositary shares, provided the acquisition, pursuant to Section 197 of the Danish Companies Act, can be financed by funds that could otherwise be distributed as ordinary dividends.

The Company may surrender any acquired American depositary shares to the depositary enabling the Company to take delivery of the underlying shares.
Re item (7):
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves the revised Remuneration Policy of the Company.
The Company's existing Remuneration Policy was adopted at the Company's Annual General Meeting 2021 in accordance with Section 139 of the Danish Companies Act.
The revised Remuneration Policy involves certain amendments of formal and structural character in order to provide more legibility and transparency. Compared to the existing Remuneration Policy, the revised Remuneration Policy involves the following material amendments:
- The terms of the long-term incentives for members of the Executive Management are proposed amended so that it consist of a combination of 75% PSUs and 25% warrants (in replacement of RSUs). The terms of PSUs are unchanged. The proposed terms of warrants involves a 3 year vesting period with 1/3 vesting each year followed by an exercise period of 5 years.
- It is proposed to add the possibility for the Board of Directors to (at their discretion) decide on accelerated vesting or exercise under any of the Company's long-term incentives for the Executive Management in the event of certain change of control events specified in the Remuneration Policy or in accordance with customary leaver provisions.
- The clause concerning claw back of variable remuneration is proposed to be updated to reflect the new wording of paragraph 4.1.6. of the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance which was changed as part of the most recent revision of the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance.
The reason for the proposed amendments of the Remuneration Policy is among others to ensure that the Company's remuneration structure enables the Company to attract and retain talented members of the Executive Management and the Board of Directors and to seek further alignment with US standards.
The draft revised Remuneration Policy is available on the Company's website: https://www.zealandpharma.com/annual-general-meeting.
The adopted Remuneration Policy will be uploaded on the Company's website: https://www.zealandpharma.com/corporate-governance after the General Meeting.
Re item (8):
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves the Company's Remuneration Report for the financial year 2021.
The adoption of the Remuneration Report is subject to the regulation from the implementation of the Shareholder Rights Directive (Directive (EU) 2017/828 of 17 May 2017) in Section 139 b of the Danish Companies Act.
The Remuneration Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements prescribed by Section 139 b of the Danish Companies Act and contains, inter alia, an overall view of the total remuneration for 2021 of each member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management of the Company.
The Remuneration Report also contains additional descriptions in accordance with Section 139 b of the Danish Companies Act, including, inter alia, explanation of how the remuneration for 2021 complies with the Company's applicable Remuneration Policy, including how it contributes to the Company's long-term results and how the performance criteria has been applied.
The vote on the Remuneration Report is a non-binding advisory vote.
The Remuneration Report is available on the Company's website: https://www.zealandpharma.com/annual-general-meeting.
Re item (9):
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves the fees for the Board of Directors for the financial year 2022:
| Cash fee (DKK) | RSUs (Number) | |
| Member of the Board | 100,000 | 1,500 |
| Chairman of the Board | 0 | 5,000 |
| Vice-Chairman of the Board | 0 | 1,000 |
| Chair of the Audit Committee | 0 | 4,000 |
| Member of the Audit Committee | 0 | 2,500 |
| Member of the Remuneration Committee | 0 | 1,500 |
| Member of the Scientific Committee | 0 | 1,500 |
The value of each RSU is determined by multiplying the simple average of the closing price of the Company's share on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S for a period of 5 trading days following the annual general meeting of the Company.
Additional information on the RSUs is available in the Company's Remuneration Policy, which can be found on the Company's website: https://www.zealandpharma.com/remuneration-committee.

Selskabets aktionærer skal ikke have fortegningsret ved bestyrelsens udnyttelse af denne bemyndigelse. De nærmere vilkår fastsættes af bestyrelsen.

Bestyrelsen kan efter de til enhver tid gældende regler i selskabsloven genanvende eller genudstede eventuelle bortfaldne ikke udnyttede warrants, forudsat at genanvendelsen eller genudstedelsen finder sted inden for de vilkår og tidsmæssige begrænsninger, der fremgår af denne bemyndigelse. Ved genanvendelse forstås adgangen for bestyrelsen til at lade en anden aftalepart indtræde i en allerede bestående aftale om warrants. Ved genudstedelse forstås bestyrelsens mulighed for inden for samme bemyndigelse at genudstede nye warrants, hvis allerede udstedte warrants er bortfaldet. Bestyrelsen er i perioden indtil den 6. april 2027 endvidere bemyndiget til ad en eller flere gange at forhøje Selskabets aktiekapital med op til nominelt DKK 2.181.707 aktier ved kontant indbetaling i forbindelse med udnyttelse af warrants eller et sådant beløb som måtte følge af en eventuel regulering af antallet af warrants ved ændringer i Selskabets kapitalforhold.

Bestyrelsen er bemyndiget til at ændre nærværende vedtægter i tilfælde af udnyttelse af de givne bemyndigelser eller warrants." | "During the period until 6 April 2027 the board of directors is authorized to issue at one or more times warrants with a right to subscribe for shares up to an aggregate amount of nominally DKK 2,181,707 shares in the Company. The shareholders of the Company will not have pre-emptive subscription rights when the Board of Directors exercises this authorization. The specific terms and conditions in this respect are to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors determines, at its own discretion, the exercise price as well as other terms and conditions for the warrants, always provided that the exercise price as a minimum corresponds to the market price at the time of issuance of the warrants, unless these are issued to the Company's employees. Pursuant to the provisions of the Danish Companies Act in force from time to time, the Board of Directors may reapply or reissue any lapsed non-exercised warrants, provided that such reapplication or reissue is made under the terms and conditions and within the time limits specified under this authority. Reapplication means the right of the Board of Directors to let another contractual party become a party to an already existing agreement on warrants. Reissue means the possibility for the Board of Directors to reissue new warrants under the same authorization if those already issued have lapsed. During the period until 6 April 2027, the Board of Directors is also authorized to increase at one or more times the Company's share capital by up to nominally DKK 2,181,707 shares by cash payment in connection with the exercise of the warrants or such an amount caused by an adjustment (if any) in the number of warrants due to changes in the capital structure, without pre-emptive subscription rights for the shareholders of the Company to shares issued by exercise of the issued warrants. The shares subscribed for by exercise of the warrants issued pursuant to article 8.10 shall be negotiable instruments and issued in the holder’s name and shall be registered in the Company’s Register of Shareholders. The new shares shall have the same rights as the existing shares of the Company. No shareholder shall be obliged to have the shares redeemed fully or partly. The new shares shall give rights to dividends and other rights in the Company from the time which is determined by the Board of Directors in connection with the decision to increase the share capital. The Board of Directors is authorized to amend these Articles of Association as a consequence of applying the authorizations granted or the exercise of warrants." |

Convertible debt instruments may be raised in Danish Kroner (DKK) or the equivalent in foreign currency, including US dollar (USD) og euro (EUR) computed at the rates of exchange ruling at the time of issuance of the convertible debt instrument. Convertible debt instruments shall be issued against payment in cash. The Board of Directors determines, at its own discretion, the subscription and conversion rates at issuance of the convertible debt instrument, always provided that the subscription and conversion rates as a minimum correspond to the market price at the time of issuance of the convertible debt instrument.
