Denmark: Amendment of Carlsberg Foundation’s Charter approved

The Danish Ministry of Justice/Civil Affairs Authority has approved the amendment of the Carlsberg Foundation’s charter, including section 14, article 1, which previously required the Carlsberg Foundation to hold at least 51% of the share capital of Carlsberg A/S, according to Carlsbergfondet, May 16.

This article has now been amended so that in future the Carlsberg Foundation must hold at least 51% of the votes and more than 25% of the share capital.

Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement of 27 April 2007 presenting the application to amend the charter in greater detail.
