STENOCARE A/S: Notice to Extraordinary General Meeting in STENOCARE A/S

STENOCARE is on the doorstep to a number of expansive events and decisions - as was mentioned in the video update published February 27 by CEO, Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg.

Therefore, the company is now calling an extra general meeting that will provide the Board of Directors of STENOCARE with a clear mandate to execute the investments, transactions and other decisions that follow from the planned execution of the STENOCARE 2.0 strategy. Also, as the company aims to move along decisively, it will be considering ways that the company shares can grow into even more of a currency with stronger liquidity in response to the requests that have been received from private and institutional investors abroad. In due time, this could mean co-trading in other international markets or even moving to a more international marketplace.

In addition to these strategic preparations, the company is taking the opportunity to also deal with a few house-keeping matters, such as creation of flexibility in relation to decisions about the venue for future general meetings, correction of the spelling of the company name to "STENOCARE" with capital letters in all of our public and formal documents (such as our bylaws) and confirmation of an options program to STENOCARE''s CFO. Finally, it is proposed to clarify, that STENOCARE can communicate to the market and its investors in English and Danish.

The Board of Directors hereby convenes the shareholders of STENOCARE A/S to the Extraordinary General Meeting, which will be held:
