Transactions in relation to share buyback program

Acting under its share buyback authorization, the GN Store Nord Board of Directors initiated a share buyback program on May 1, 2019, in accordance with article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 of April 16, 2014 on market abuse and Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016, jointly referred to as the Safe Harbor rules (company announcement no. 23 of May 1, 2019).

The share buyback program was initiated in order to reduce the company’s share capital and to cover obligations under the long-term incentive program. Under the share buyback program, which runs from May 1, 2019 and will end no later than March 10, 2020, GN intends to buy back shares for an amount of up to DKK 1,000 million.

On a weekly basis, GN announces the number and value of shares repurchased under the program in company announcements to Nasdaq Copenhagen.

The following transactions have been made under the program in the period from February 25, 2020 to March 2, 2020:

	No. of shares	Average purchase price, DKK	Transaction Value, DKK
February 25, 2020	12,500	386.79	4,834,883

In the period from February 25, 2020 to March 2, 2020 the exercise of warrants under GN’s
incentive programs have resulted in a transfer of 231,896 GN shares to key employees.

Following the above transactions, GN holds as treasury shares a total of 13,466,384 shares of nominally DKK 4, corresponding to a total nominal value of DKK 53,865,536 and 9.5% of the total share capital and the total voting rights in the company.
