Pandora - AGM 11 March 2020

In general, Pandora is in compliance with the Danish regulations relating to the organisation and procedures of the Annual General Meeting.

Under ITEM 5.5 it is proposed to re-appoint Ms. Birgitta Stymne Göransson as Member of the board of directors. In view of concerns over aggregate time commitments, ECGS normally would have recommended opposition. However, considering that the proxy card does not permit this, it recommends abstention instead.

Under ITEM 5.8 it is proposed to newly appoint Ms. Marianne Kirkegaard as Member of the board of directors. Although she would qualify as independent board member in accordance with provision 3.2.1 of the Danish Recommendation on Corporate Governance, ECGS has concerns over her aggregate time commitments. In view of the above, ECGS normally would have recommended opposition. However, considering that the proxy card does not permit this, it recommends abstention instead.

Finally, under ITEM 7, although not legally required in Denmark, the board of directors and the executive management seek discharge. Under its guidelines, ECGS no longer approves discharge of the board of directors and/or executive management if there is no legal requirement for it. Since there is no such (legal) requirement in Denmark, ECGS recommends to vote OPPOSE.
