In accordance with Article 9 of the Articles of Association, notice is hereby given of Extraordinary General Meeting of NeuroSearch A/S to be held on

Monday, 20 February 2012 at 4 p.m. local time

at the offices of Kromann Reumert, Sundkrogsgade 5, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark, with the following agenda:

  1. Proposal to reduce the company's share capital by DKK 466,524,993 from DKK 491,078,940 to DKK 24,553,947 by transfer to a special reserve and reduction of the nominal value of the company's shares from DKK 1 to DKK 0.05, and to amend Articles 3 and 13 of the Articles of Association accordingly
  2. Proposal to amend Articles 4, 4d, 4e, 4f and 4g of the Articles of Association as a consequence of the proposal under item 1 to reduce the nominal value of the company's shares from DKK 1 to DKK 0.05

Motivation for the proposal
The company's shares are currently listed with a nominal value of DKK 20 each. Given that the NeuroSearch share is currently trading below its listed nominal value and that the Danish Companies Act prohibits issuance of new shares below their nominal value, the Board of Directors proposes to reduce the share capital of NeuroSearch to maintain the financial flexibility of the company. An adoption of the proposal will enable the company to issue new shares if relevant and provided that authorisation from the shareholders is in place. The reduction of the share capital will neither dilute any existing shareholding nor have any impact on the number of shares owned by each shareholder.

If the general meeting adopts the items on the agenda, notice must be given to the company's creditors, requesting them to file their claims against the company within four weeks. Such notice will be given through the Danish Business Authority's IT system. A decrease of the company's share capital will not be finally implemented until after the expiry of the above-mentioned four week time limit.

Special voting requirements
Adoption by the general meeting of the proposals in items 1 and 2 on the agenda requires a majority of votes of at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as of the voting share capital represented at the general meeting, see Article 14 of the Articles of Association.

Registration date
A shareholder's right to participate in the general meeting and the number of shares carrying votes, is determined on the basis of the number of shares held by such shareholder on Monday 13 February 2012 (the registration date). The shares held by each shareholder are determined at the registration date on the basis of the shareholdings registered in the share register and in accordance with any notices on shareholding received by the company, but not yet registered in the share register.
