that the Employee will be considered eligible for the scheme.

Novozymes will process the Employee’s personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy for
employees in Denmark (“Databeskyttelsespolitik for medarbejdere DK”) which is enclosed.

The Employee is obligated to ensure that People & Organization (“P&O”) is at all times notified of

he/she must notify P&O not later than two months before moving.

If the Employee is not a Danish citizen, his/her employment at Novozymes in Denmark is

including holding a valid residence permit and a valid work permit. The Employee is obligated to
renew such permits and submit adequate documentation thereof to Novozymes on a regular basis.

RESIDENCE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY

If the employee lives in a country other than Denmark, the employee is not permitted to have secondary
occupation (as independent contractor, self-employed or otherwise) or take other paid employment in
that country (or any other country) without prior written approval from P&O, as this can have major
financial consequences, e.g. because of social security rules.

Furthermore, and subject to agreement with the manager of the employee, the employee is only
allowed to work from home/work remote in Sweden for a maximum of up to 40 % of the working
hours of the employee and if the employee lives in other countries (other than Sweden and Denmark)
up to 25 % of the working hours of the employee. In the case of “working from home/remote work”,
documentation of Danish social security must be applied for from the relevant authorities. It is the
responsibility of the employee to ensure this documentation throughout the employment.

P&O is helpful with information about the process for applying for social security.

If Novozymes is subject to social security contributions or anything else in the country of residence of
the employee due to lack of approval for “work from home“ in the home country or secondary
occupation or employment in another company, Novozymes reserves the right to claim damages,
compensation or similar from the employee.
