22 Pension obligations<br />

The Group contributes to pension plans which cover employees in various companies of the Group. The pension plans are typically<br />

defined-contribution plans. The Group has defined-benefit plans in Norway and the Netherlands.<br />

The defined-benefit plan in Norway was changed to a defined-contribution plan in <strong>2010</strong>, to the effect that the defined-benefit plan now<br />

only comprises already retired staff. The change of the pension plan resulted in the recognition of income of DKK 20 million in staff costs<br />

in the income statement.<br />

The Group has a defined-benefit plan in Sweden which is partially covered by an external pension company. It is not possible for the pension<br />

company to make an actuarial calculation of the pension obligation. As a result, the plan is accounted for as a defined-contribution<br />

plan.<br />

The defined-benefit plans result in unfunded pension obligations which are not insured in an independent insurance company. The<br />

consolidated balance sheet includes unfunded pension obligations based on actuarial calculations. Changes in actuarial gains and losses<br />

are recognised fully in equity.<br />
