The Articles of Association can only be amended by the general meeting of shareholders.
The Danish Companies Act provides that the Articles of Association must regulate various mandatory areas, but does not prevent the articles from regulating other areas also.
The articles must comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, such as provisions protecting the interests of minority shareholders.
The Articles of Association of the Danske Bank Group include rules on
- name, activities and registered office
- share capital
- general meeting
- board of directors
- executive board
- auditing and accounting year
Amendment of the Articles of Association
As provided for by legislation, only the general meeting may amend the Articles of Association. Amendments are subject to adoption by a majority of two thirds of the votes cast and the capital represented.
However, the Companies Act permits the Board of Directors to make certain amendments to the articles as a result of decisions made by the general meeting.
