Re. item 5)

The Board of Directors proposes that Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab should be re-elected as auditor.

Re. item 6)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Articles of Association of the Company is amended in accordance with the compare version attached to this notice.
The changes are primarily proposed to allow the closure of the master fund by transfer of the assets in the master fund to the Company. Currently, the Company acts as a feeder and primarily buys fund units in the master fund, Ress Uncorrelated Assets Fund. Closing the master fund is expected to produce cost savings for the Company, and the Board therefore recommends the annual general meeting to adopt the proposed changes. No assurance can be given that the master fund will actually be closed and the cost savings realized.

The main intention with the proposed changes in section 2.2 of the Articles of Association is to allow the Company to purchase life insurance policies directly as mentioned above.

It is proposed that the authorisation of the Board of Directors to acquire own shares on behalf of the Company in section 6.1 of the Articles of Association is extended until 1 January 2022.

The proposed changes in sections 7.1 and 8.1 of the Articles of Association related to leverage, lending etc. are proposed to reflect the investment restrictions in the master fund.

The proposed changes in sections 13.5, 13.6 and 13.7 of the Articles of Association are made to clarify the appointment of Resscapital AB as the Company's manager and the appointment of a depositary.

Re. item 7)

Proposal by the Board of Directors to authorise the chairman of the meeting with full power of delegation, to register the proposals adopted with the Danish Business Authority ( Erhvervsstyrelsen ) and to make such additions, alterations or amendments thereto or therein, including to the Articles of Association, and to take any other action as the Danish Business Authority may require for registration.
