At Ambu's annual general meeting in December 2006, the Board of Directors was authorised to increase the company's Class B share capital by a total nominal amount of up to DKK 2,000,000 in the form of bonus shares issued to Ambu employees, cor-responding to 200,000 Class B shares of DKK 10 each to be subscribed by the group's employees and with no preemptive right of subscription for the company's current shareholders. The Board of Directors has decided to act upon this authorisation on the terms speci-fied. Eligible employees can subscribe for a number of shares at a price of DKK 55 per share (on 14 March 2007 the market price was 99,50). Subscription of employee shares will take place during the period 16-20 April 2007, and the capital increase will be registered immediately, the shares being listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The employee shares will carry the same rights as Ambu's existing Class B shares. Once the subscription is complete, information will be provided on the financial con-sequences of the programme.
