Prior to submission of any draft or final applications, the Buyer undertakes to provide the Sellers’ Representative with an opportunity to provide comments on drafts of any filings or other documentation to be exchanged between the Buyer and the Regulatory Authority as well as any other documents not shared with such authority but relevant for the filing process, and the Buyer shall copy the Sellers’ Representative on all correspondence with the Regulatory Authority (it being acknowledged that such drafts and/or documents and/or correspondence may be shared on a confidential counsel-to-counsel basis only (i) if required in order to comply with applicable Law, and/or (ii) as regards confidential and/or sensitive information of the Buyer and/or of its Affiliates). The Buyer shall not participate in any substantive discussions with the Regulatory Authority in relation to any necessary approval, without having first consulted the Sellers’ Representative. Any and all costs relating to obtaining Regulatory Consent, including any filing fees, shall be borne by the Buyer, except for the Sellers’ costs to the Sellers’ advisers which shall be borne by the Sellers each with their Relevant Proportions. Where legally possible, the Buyer shall allow persons nominated by the Sellers’ Representative to attend meetings, including conference calls, with the Regulatory Authority or where this is not legally possible, consult the Sellers’ Representative regarding any proposed communication to a Regulatory Authority. The Buyer shall not participate in any substantive discussion or meeting with a Competition Authority (except for informal or customary telephone conversations initiated by a Regulatory Authority without prior notice) without first having consulted the Sellers’ Representative.

| 6.6 | If a Competition Authority refuses to give unconditional clearances and/or approvals necessary to complete the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or raises any preliminary concerns, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each member of the Buyer’s Group will, without undue delay use all necessary reasonable efforts to resolve any such concerns so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by way of the Buyer (and, if relevant, any other member of the Buyer’s Group) offering

| (a) | any behavioural remedies; and

| (b) | any structural remedies, including without limitation any remedy to sell or otherwise dispose of particular assets and/or withdraw from doing business in particular geographic areas,

in each case without this giving rise to any adjustment of the Purchase Price (regardless of whether or not such actions will in fact decrease the Buyer’s valuation of the Group) so that the transactions as contemplated by this Agreement may be completed. Similarly, post-Closing, the Buyer shall cause the Group and the Buyer’s Group to comply with any orders or conditions that have been imposed by a Regulatory Authority to permit the transactions as contemplated by this Agreement.

| 6.7 | The Buyer shall promptly and within one (1) Business Day of receipt, notify and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative documentary evidence of any Regulatory Consents having been obtained and of all objections, conditions or the like proposed by any Competition Authority in respect of a Regulatory Consent.

| (a) | worsen in any material respect the likelihood of obtaining any of the Regulatory Consents of the Competition Filings; or

| (b) | delay in any material respect obtaining any of the Regulatory Consents of the Competition Filings.

| 6.9 | The Buyer is liable for and shall hold harmless the Sellers in respect of all remedies, losses, sanctions, costs, fines or expenses that result from a failure to make any required notification or filing or obtain any required consent under applicable Laws on merger control, antitrust, Competition Law, foreign state aid and/or foreign direct investment in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, unless such failure is due to material inaccuracies in the financial material Disclosed.

Page: 34 of 57

| 7.7 | Subject to Clause 7.6, if the conditions precedent to Closing in Clause 6.1 have been fulfilled, but the Sellers’ obligations under Clause 7.3 are not complied with on the Closing Date, the Buyer may, and/or if the Buyer’s obligations under Clause 7.4 are not complied with on the Closing Date, then the Sellers may:

| (a) | waive any deliverable by the non-complying Party, with the effect that Closing may occur; or

| (b) | defer Closing (so that the provisions of this Clause 7 will apply to the deferred Closing); or

| (c) | proceed to Closing as far as practicable (without limiting its rights under this Agreement as a consequence thereof, including, on the part of the Sellers, requesting specific performance of the Buyer’s obligations under Clause 7.4(b)-(f)); or

| (d) | submit a written notice of termination of this Agreement to the non-complying Party, which will effectuate termination if the obligations have not been complied with within five (5) Business Days after the non-complying Party has received such written notice of termination.

| 7.8 | If Closing has not occurred on or before 1 April 2025 (the “Long Stop Date”) as a result of the conditions precedent in Clause 6.1 not having been satisfied, Axcel on behalf of the Sellers shall on the Business Day following the Long Stop Date decide – in its sole discretion – to either:

| (a) | extend the Long Stop Date for a period of up to one (1) month by written notice of such extension to the Buyer; or

| (b) | terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to the Buyer, unless the Buyer and Axcel on behalf of the Sellers by written agreement have agreed otherwise.

If Closing has not occurred on or before the Long Stop Date as extended pursuant to Clause 7.8(a), the right of Axcel on behalf of the Sellers to decide upon an extension or termination shall apply, mutatis mutandis, provided, however, that the Long Stop Date may not be extended beyond 1 May 2025 without the prior written consent of the Buyer. Unless the Buyer approves such extension, if Closing does not occur on or before 1 May 2025, either the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect by written notice to the Sellers’ Representative or the Buyer, as applicable. Furthermore, this Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing by written agreement between the Parties.

If termination in accordance with Clause 7.7 or 7.8 is due to a Breach of this Agreement by the Sellers or the Buyer, respectively, then the breaching Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the non-breaching Party for any Loss incurred by the non-breaching Party resulting from or arising out of the Breach of this Agreement, including reimbursement of the terminating Party, on demand, an amount equal to such Loss and any relevant VAT incurred by the terminating Party and which would otherwise be payable by the terminating Party in accordance with Clause 19.

Page: 37 of 57

| 10.3 | The Sellers’ Warranties are the Sellers’ complete and only representations and warranties regarding the Sellers, the Sale Shares and the Group and, consequently, the Buyer shall not rely on any warranties, representations, assumptions, expectations or agreements – whether express or implied – except for the Sellers’ Warranties. Specifically, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Data Room Documentation, the Sellers give no representation or warranty and accept no liability whatsoever with respect to any matter which is, or may amount to, an opinion, budget, forecast, estimate, assessment or projection in any information provided to the Buyer during the due diligence or otherwise as to the future operation or profitability of the Group Companies.

The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions by such party contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate actions, if any, of Buyer, including any required authorisations from any direct or indirect shareholder(s) of the Buyer, Buyer’s board of directors, any creditor or any other Person or notification to or registration with any court of law or administrative body.

| (b) | This Agreement and any other documents pursuant to the Agreement to which Buyer is or will be at the Closing, a party, is or will be at the Closing, duly executed by the Buyer pursuant to the Agreement will, when and so entered into and delivered, constitute binding obligations of the Buyer and are enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with their respective terms.

| (c) | The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions by the Buyer contemplated hereby, do not violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any order, judgment, injunction award or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Body against or binding on the Buyer or violate any Law or statute applicable to the Buyer.

| (d) | There are no actions, claims or other proceedings pending, or to the Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened and involving the Buyer which, individually or in the aggregate, may affect the validity or enforcement of the Agreement or affect the Buyer’s ability to perform the Buyer’s obligations contemplated hereby or from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby.

| (e) | The Buyer is entering into this Agreement on its own behalf and not as agent, intermediary, representative of, or otherwise on behalf of, any third party.

| 12.1.2 | Save as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the remedies provided for in this Clause 12 shall be the exclusive remedies available to the Buyer with respect to any and all Sellers’ Breaches and Claims. The Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the sole remedies of the Buyer after Closing for any Breach of this Agreement shall be recovery of Losses pursuant to this Agreement, and the Buyer hereby expressly waives and renounces, absent fraud, any rights that it may have, or subsequently acquire, under applicable Law to terminate or rescind this Agreement (in Danish: “hæve aftalen”), claim for a proportionate reduction of the Purchase Price (in Danish: “forholdsmæssigt afslag”) and/or claim for any breach of any implied condition (in Danish: “bristede forudsætninger”). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or exclude the Parties’ rights to demand specific performance (in Danish: “naturalopfyldelse”) with respect to the Sellers’ obligation to transfer and deliver the Sale Shares, and the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

| 12.1.3 | Any compensation actually paid by a Seller to the Buyer under this Clause 12 for any and all Breaches of this Agreement or any other Loss indemnifiable pursuant to Clause 12.1.1 shall, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, be treated, for all Tax and accounting purposes as a reduction of the Purchase Price.

| 12.1.4 | The Buyer may seek recovery for a Breach by one or more Sellers’ of a covenant or agreement that is to be performed prior to the Closing (a “Pre-Closing Covenant Claim”) from the Holdback Amount held by the Sellers’ Representative, if the related Claim Notice is delivered in accordance with Clause 12.4.1 prior to the three month anniversary of the Closing Date.

| 12.2.1 | Where more than one Seller has an obligation to indemnify the Buyer, each Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer (where such liability is provided for under the terms of this Agreement) shall be several and not joint. Where more than one but less than all Sellers are (severally) liable towards the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or in the event of Breach of the Sellers’ Warranties by more than one but less than all Sellers in circumstances where the terms of this Agreement provide for recourse against such Sellers, the loss to be indemnified shall be split between the so liable Sellers based on such Seller’s or Sellers’ Relevant Proportion.

Page: 39 of 57

| 12.2.2 | If there is any claim caused solely by one or more specific Sellers’ fraud or Breach of the Fundamental Warranties, only the Sellers (understood as (i) the respective individuals that have represented such Seller in the negotiations leading up to the signing of this Agreement in respect of the Majority Sellers, (ii) Alan Nissen in respect of the Founder Shareholder and (iii) the relevant member of the board of directors, management or key employee of the Group, if the Seller is a MIP Participant) that have committed such fraud or Breach shall be (severally) liable.

| (a) | constitutes a Breach of any of the Fundamental Warranties in which case Clause 12.3.4 shall apply; or

| (b) | is based on or the result of fraud by any of the Sellers (understood as (i) the respective individuals having represented such Seller in the negotiations leading up to the signing of this Agreement in respect of the Majority Sellers, (ii) Alan Nissen in respect of the Founder Shareholder and (iii) the relevant member of the board of directors, management or key employee of the Group, if the Seller is a MIP Participant), in which case Clause 12.3.5 shall apply.

| 12.3.3 | For the avoidance of doubt:

| (a) | the Buyer shall have no claim or recourse against the Sellers for a claim that is excluded from coverage under the W&I Insurance Policy on account of the content of the W&I Insurance Bring Down; and

| (b) | in the event of a Breach of a Sellers’ Warranty (other than a Fundamental Warranty in accordance with the limitations of this Agreement) given at Closing occurring in the period between the Signing Date and the Closing Date, the Sellers shall incur no liability for such Breach, unless such Breach was omitted from the W&I Insurance Bring Down as a result of fraud by any of the Sellers (understood as (i) the respective individuals having represented such Seller in the negotiations leading up to the signing of this Agreement in respect of the Majority Sellers, (ii) Alan Nissen in respect of the Founder Shareholder and (iii) the relevant member of the board of directors, management or key employee of the Group, if the Seller is a MIP Participant), in which case Clause 12.3.5 shall apply.

Page: 40 of 57

| 12.3.4 | Subject to this Clause 12, including the provisions on limitations of liability set forth herein, in case of a Breach of the Fundamental Warranties and to the extent the Loss for such Breach is not recoverable under the W&I Insurance Policy, the Buyer shall be entitled to direct a Claim directly against the relevant Seller(s).

| 12.3.5 | Subject to this Clause 12 and for purposes of this Agreement, in case of a Breach or indemnifiable Loss arising out of or as a result of fraud by any of the Sellers (understood as (i) the respective individuals that have represented or otherwise acted in the interest of such Seller leading up to the signing of this Agreement in respect of the Majority Sellers, (ii) Alan Nissen in respect of the Founder Shareholder and (iii) the relevant member of the board of directors, management or key employee of the Group, if the Seller is a MIP Participant), the Buyer or the W&I Insurer (as the case may be and as they may decide) shall in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the W&I Insurance Policy, if applicable, be entitled to direct any such Claim directly against the relevant Seller(s) or Persons having committed such fraud without applying the limitations in Clauses 12.7 and 12.8.

| 12.4 | Claim Notice

| 12.4.1 | The Buyer shall give notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Sellers’ Representative as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days of the Buyer becoming aware of any demand, claim or other circumstance giving rise to a Claim or other indemnifiable Loss pursuant Clause 12.1.1 or the commencement of any action, proceeding, or investigation that may result in an indemnifiable Loss as per Clause 12.1. The Claim Notice shall be in writing, describe the asserted liability in reasonable detail, be accompanied by relevant documentation necessary, and available to the Buyer, to support the Claim (or other indemnifiable Loss) and indicate the size of the Loss (estimated if necessary). The failure to timely provide such notice, however, shall not release the Sellers from any of their obligations under this Clause 12 except to the extent that the Sellers are prejudiced by such failure.

| 12.4.2 | In the event of a Claim or other indemnifiable Loss in respect of a matter which, in the Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable opinion, is capable of cure, the Sellers shall have the right to attempt to cure within a reasonable period of time and in any case within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Buyer’s Claim Notice (the “Cure Period”).

| 12.4.3 | If the Sellers’ Representative, or, in respect of a Breach of the Sellers’ Warranties where only one or more Sellers may be liable, such Seller(s), cannot accept the Claim (or other indemnifiable Loss pursuant to Clause 12.1.1) as validly notified to the Sellers’ Representative by the Buyer in accordance with Clause 12.4.1, or the Claim is, in the reasonable opinion of the Sellers, not capable of cure within the Cure Period in accordance with Clause 12.4.2, the Sellers’ Representative shall inform the Buyer accordingly in writing within thirty (30) Business Days after having received the Buyer’s relevant Claim Notice. Such dispute is to be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Clause 21, which must be initiated by the Buyer within six (6) months of receipt of the notice from the Sellers’ Representative contesting the claim; provided that with respect to a Claim related to a Breach of a Fundamental Warranty, such six (6) month period shall be tolled so long as the Buyer is pursuing such Claim pursuant to the W&I Insurance Policy.

Page: 41 of 57

| 12.5 | External Claims

| 12.5.1 | As soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days from the receipt by the Buyer or a Group Company of a notice from a third party of any claim which may entitle the Buyer to make a Claim against (or seek another indemnifiable Loss against) one or more Sellers under the terms of this Agreement (an “External Claim”), the Buyer shall notify the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) in writing. The failure to timely provide such notice, however, shall not release the Sellers from any of their obligations under this Clause 12 except to the extent that the Sellers are prejudiced by such failure.

| 12.5.2 | If the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf the applicable Seller(s)) has acknowledged in writing that that such Seller(s) are liable for all Losses with respect to any External Claim within thirty (30) Business Days (or sooner, if the nature of the asserted External Claim so requires) of receiving notice of such External Claim from the Buyer, the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) may elect to control the compromise or defense of such External Claim. If the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) so assumes control over the compromise or defense of an External Claim, (a) it shall do such at the Sellers’ Representative’s (on behalf of the applicable Sellers) expense and (b) the Buyer shall cooperate, at the expense of the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)), in the compromise of, or defence against, such External Claim; provided, however, that: (i) the Buyer may, if the Buyer so desires, employ counsel at the Buyer’s own expense and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all cross-claims and counterclaims the Buyer may have; (ii) the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) shall keep the Buyer informed of all material events with respect to any External Claim; and (iii) the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) shall obtain the prior written approval of the Buyer before entering into any settlement of any External Claim or ceasing to defend against any External Claim, if (x) pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Buyer or its Affiliates, (y) such External Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, or (z) the Buyer would not thereby receive from the claimant an unconditional release from all further liability in respect of such External Claim.

| 12.5.3 | Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Buyer so desires, the Buyer shall have sole control over the defence, settlement, adjustment, or compromise of (but the applicable Sellers shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses incurred by the Buyer in connection with such defence, settlement, or compromise): (i) any External Claim that primarily seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against any Buyer or any of its, his, or her Affiliates; or (ii) such External Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation.

| 12.5.4 | If the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) elects not to assume the defence, settlement, adjustment, or compromise of External Claim, fails to timely and properly notify the Buyer of the Sellers’ Representative’s election (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) as herein provided, or if the Buyer is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Agreement to have control over the defence, settlement, or compromise of any External Claim, the Buyer may, at the Sellers’ expense, pay, defend, settle, adjust, or compromise such asserted External Claim (but the Sellers shall nevertheless be required to pay all Losses incurred by the Buyer in connection with such payment, defence, settlement, adjustment, or compromise); provided the Buyer will not admit any liability with respect to, or settle or compromise, such External Claim without the prior written consent from the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In connection with any defence of an External Claim, the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the applicable Seller(s)) shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defence or prosecution thereof and to in good faith retain and furnish such records, information, and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals, as may be reasonably requested by a party hereto in connection therewith. In any such case, the Buyer shall keep the Sellers’ Representative informed of all material developments in relation to the External Claim.

| 12.5.5 | For the avoidance of doubt, no Buyer Financing Source shall have any liability to the Sellers, and the Sellers cannot take any action against any Buyer Financing Source whatsoever, with respect to the Buyer Financing or any Buyer Financing Agreements. The provisions of this Clause 12.5.5 and Clause 18.2.2 shall be enforceable by the Buyer Financing Sources on behalf of the Buyer Financing Sources Related Parties (and each is an intended third party beneficiary of such Clauses), in each case if and as such Clauses relate to such parties.

| 12.6 | Losses

| 12.6.1 | Any Loss in respect of which a Claim is notified to the Sellers shall be calculated in EUR in accordance with Danish Law, subject to the following principles:

| (a) | any indirect or consequential Losses shall not qualify for indemnification, except with respect to any Breach and other indemnifiable Losses where reasonably foreseeable (in Danish: “adækvate”) Losses are recoverable;

| (b) | only Losses which have been effectively sustained (as opposed to potential losses) by the Buyer are subject to indemnification;

| (c) | no Loss shall be deemed to have been suffered to the extent that the Buyer has failed to mitigate the Losses in accordance with Clause 12.6.3;

| (d) | no Claim may be made (and no other indemnifiable Loss may be sought), and no liability of the Sellers shall arise, if and to the extent that the Loss for which the Claim is made (or is otherwise sought) has been specifically provided for (i) in the Accounts and/or (ii) the Debt at Closing or Net Working Capital at Closing and included in the Final Purchase Price Calculation. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes provisions in the Accounts and/or the Debt at Closing or Net Working Capital at Closing included in the Final Purchase Price Calculation reflecting the aggregation of specific provisions to the extent such specific provisions can be identified;

Page: 43 of 57

| (f) | the amount of any compensation or other recovery (including without limitation insurance proceeds) net of any costs or expenses attributable to any such insurance or other recovery including the increase in any premium attributable to any such insurance or recovery obtained or available to the Buyer and/or the Buyer’s Group, including the Group Companies after Closing, shall be deducted when calculating the Loss;

| (g) | any occurrence of, or increase of, a Loss as a result of any act or omission on the part of the Buyer or the Buyer’s Group, including the Group Companies after Closing, or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents shall be disregarded when calculating the Loss;

| (i) | any occurrence of, or increase of, a Loss as a result of a change in the accounting principles of any Group Company following Closing to conform to those used by the Buyer or the Buyer’s Group shall be disregarded when calculating the Loss;

| (j) | no Loss shall be deemed to have been suffered to the extent that the matter giving rise to such Loss has been remedied by or on behalf of the Sellers within the Cure Period, cf. Clause 12.4.2, at no cost for the Group Companies or the Buyer; and

| (k) | the Buyer shall neither be entitled to indemnification or other restitution more than once in respect of the same Loss (no double counting).

| 12.6.2 | In the event that the amount of any deduction to be made, or amount to be disregarded, for the purposes of calculating the Loss due with respect to a Claim or other indemnifiable loss (in each case as referred to in this Clause 12.6) is determined or assessed only after the payment by one or more Seller(s) to the Buyer of an amount with respect to a Loss, the Buyer shall repay (subject to any withholding taxes or other relevant deductions) to the relevant Seller(s) promptly after such determination or assessment, an amount by which the Loss paid to the Buyer should have been reduced, had such determination or assessment been taken into account in the original calculation of Loss.

| 12.6.3 | The Buyer is under an obligation to mitigate the Losses (in Danish: “tabsbegrænsningsforpligtelse”) in accordance with Danish Law and the Buyer shall procure that each company within the Buyer’s Group, including the Group Companies after Closing, shall do the same.
