Information on Vitrolife’s Annual General Meeting due to the coronavirus

Due to the spread of the coronavirus that causes the covid-19 disease, Vitrolife has decided on a number of measures in connection with the Annual General Meeting in order to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. Vitrolife is keen to protect its shareholders’ health and wellbeing as well as their rights as shareholders. Vitrolife also has a responsibility to its shareholders and employees to minimise the risk of spreading covid-19.

According to medical expertise, spread of the virus can be limited by avoiding large groups of people, minimising the time spent in large groups of people if it is absolutely necessary to be there, and reducing contact with other people by avoiding crowded areas and large meals together.

In light of the above and in order to limit the risk for shareholders and other people attending the Annual General Meeting at 4.30 p.m. on 28 April, the following measures will be taken:

• Registration is from 4 p.m.
• No refreshments will be offered at the Annual General Meeting
• The CEO’s presentation will be shortened
• Questions from shareholders should thus focus on items on the agenda
• For any general questions on Vitrolife, shareholders are welcome to submit these to the company in advance via email: investors@vitrolife.com

In order to further reduce the risk of spreading the virus, Vitrolife urges all people who display symptoms or have been in an area where there is large-scale spread of the virus, as well as people that have a close relative who has been infected by covid-19, to stay at home and participate in the Annual General Meeting by proxy.

We wish to remind shareholders of the possibility of not attending Vitrolife’s Annual General Meeting personally but instead attending by proxy. Forms authorising proxyholders to represent shareholders and exercise their right to vote can be found under "Related files".

We ask for shareholders’ understanding in this matter. Vitrolife is limiting the Annual General Meeting as described above given the special circumstances prevailing at present due to the coronavirus.
