A description of the background of and the offices held by each candidate proposed for election by the board of directors, including the board of directors’ reasons for the nomination, is enclosed in appendix 1 and is available on the company’s website, www.rockwool.com/group/agm.

Subject to election of the above candidates, the board of directors expects to appoint Thomas Kähler
as Chairman and Jørgen Tang-Jensen as Deputy Chairman.

8.   Appointment of auditors.

The board of directors proposes re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab (PwC) as auditor of the company in accordance with the Audit Committee’s recommendation in respect of statutory financial and sustainability reporting.

9.   Proposals from the board of directors or shareholders.

Proposals from the board of directors:

9a. Authorisation to acquire own shares.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the board of directors to allow the company to acquire own shares during the period until the next annual general meeting, i.e. class A shares as well as class B shares, of a total nominal value of up to 10 percent of the company’s share capital, provided that the price of the shares at the time of purchase does not deviate by more than 10 percent from the most recent listed price.

9b. Amendment of the nominal value of the company’s shares.

The board of directors proposes a share split in a ratio of 1:10, whereby the nominal value of the company's A and B shares will change from 10 DKK to 1 DKK. The 1:10 share split will be completed as soon as possible following the approval of the general meeting. The completion of the share split will be announced in a separate company announcement.

The purpose of the share split is to provide smaller private shareholders with the opportunity to gain co-ownership in the company. The share split will not affect the voting rights per share or the relative share of voting rights of individual shareholders, it being noted that the voting ratio between Class A and B shares will remain unchanged.

As a result of this proposal, the Articles of Association will be amended as follows:

• Article 3.b will be amended to read:
  
  

“The share capital is divided into shares of DKK 1 each.”

• Article 10.b will be amended to read:
  
  

“At the general meeting, each class A share of DKK 1 carries ten votes, and each class B share of DKK 1 carries one vote.”

The share split will not impact the company’s ongoing share buyback program or the continued conversion of A shares into B shares pursuant to Article 6 of the Articles of Association, except for the technical adjustments of the new nominal value of the company's shares resulting from the share split.

9c. Reduction of the company’s share capital for the purpose of cancelling own shares.

The board of directors proposes a reduction of the company’s share capital from nominally 216,207,090 DKK to nominally 211,605,790 DKK by cancellation of repurchased class B shares of nominally 4,601,300 DKK corresponding to 460,130 class B shares of nominally 10 DKK each. Subject to approval and completion of the share split under item 9b., these B shares will, upon implementation of the capital decrease, amount to 4,601,300 class B shares of nominally 1 DKK each.

The board of directors’ proposal to reduce the company’s share capital is made to adjust the capital structure in continuation of the share buy-back programme made to distribute funds to the shareholders. The class B shares proposed for cancellation were repurchased for the total sum of 1,192,983,209 DKK which means that, in addition to the nominal reduction amount, 1,188,381,909 DKK has been distributed to the shareholders.

Before implementing the proposed capital reduction, the Company will publish in the Danish Business Authority’s IT system a notice of creditors’ right to submit claims against the company within a four-week notice period. The capital reduction will only be implemented after the expiry of this notice period.

As a result, it is proposed to amend article 3.a of the company’s Articles of Association with effect from the implementation of the capital reduction as follows:

”3.a: The share capital of the company is DKK 211,605,790; of which class A shares constitute DKK 98,178,390 and class B shares DKK 113,427,400.”

9d. Proposal to contribute 100 MDKK to the Foundation for Ukrainian Reconstruction.

Based on ROCKWOOL's wish to continue to actively contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves that an additional amount of 100 MDKK be contributed to the Foundation for Ukrainian Reconstruction.

In submitting this proposal, the board of directors has assessed that the proposal reflects and supports ROCKWOOL’s values and activities. The board of directors considers that the proposal reflects that the company has a social responsibility and that the conflict in Ukraine is a completely extraordinary situation that affects and is of major importance to the company, its employees and business partners.

10. Any other business.
