The rules governing the convening and the holding of the general meeting is laid down in Danfoss Articles of Association in Danish and in English. 

Danfoss has previously on two occasions offered shares to the employees. In addition, the Bitten & Mads Clausen’s Foundation in 2004 offered a total of 10,000 shares for sales via the so-called ”10,000 pool”. Shares from this pool can only be sold back to Danfoss in a period of three weeks following the Annual General Meeting in March.

Danfoss buys back employee shares when shareholders wish to realize them. There is only settlement once a month (around the second Monday) – except for July where settlement will take place during week 27 and for April where settlement will take place on the third Tuesday with deadline for sending the completed sales form on April 17, 2023.

Dividends are determined by the General Meeting upon recommendation from the Danfoss Board of Directors. Dividends are paid out in Danish kroner and is deposited on the dividend account associated with the share deposit.

Taxation upon share sales
Taxation upon share sales varies from one country to another. In Denmark profit from share sales is taxable and must be declared to the Danish tax authorities. The shareholder is responsible for reporting taxable profit.

Taxation upon dividends
Taxation upon dividends varies from one country to another. In Denmark dividends are taxed 27%. Danfoss retains and pays in tax upon dividends paid out in Denmark and in countries with which Denmark has signed joint taxation agreements (Belgium, Canada, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway, Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Germany and the US). Share holders are responsible for controlling whether dividends have been correctly declared on their income tax return.

Danfoss does not advise share holders in tax matters but urges shareholders to seek independent advice concerning their tax matters. Furthermore, Danish share holders are referred to SKAT, phone: +45 7222 1818.

Please note: if liable to DK taxation, tax must be paid of Danfoss shares transferred to a pension deposit – like in case of a sale.

The Danfoss share price is set once a year by Danske Markets (part of Danske Bank A/S) immediately before the annual general meeting. The share price is calculated on the basis of, among other things, the financial performance of Danfoss, the Group’s expectations to the upcoming year, its ability to meet expectations, the financial development of a number of comparable companies and their expectations for the future as well as the general development in the stock markets.
