The Restructuring Accountant’s report on the restructuring proposal
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Creditors of ORPHAZYME A/S in Restructuring Process
As restructuring accountant, I have examined the restructuring proposal presented for Orphazyme A/S in restructuring process, in accordance with section 13b (1)(3)(i), for the purpose of issuing an opinion as to whether the proposal in my assessment is reasonable and offers adequate security for the completion of the proposal.
My opinion in the report is expressed with limited assurance.
The restructuring proposal has been prepared based on the valuation of the debtor’s assets at the time of the commencement of the restructuring process. Please refer to section 2 of the restructuring proposal, in which the assumptions of the restructuring proposal are accounted for. There is uncertainty regarding the assumptions stated. The actual outcome will probably deviate from the expected, as events do not often occur as expected, which may impact the reasonableness and completion of the restructuring proposal.
My report is prepared solely to comply with the requirements of the Danish Bankruptcy Act in connection with the restructuring of the Company and may not be used for any other purposes.
The restructuring administrator’s and Management’s responsibilities
The restructuring administrator and Management of Orphazyme A/S in restructuring process are responsible for preparing the restructuring proposal and as to whether it is reasonable and offers adequate security for the completion of the proposal.
The restructuring accountant’s responsibilities
Based on my examinations, it is my responsibility to express an opinion as to whether in my assessment the restructuring proposal is reasonable and offers adequate security for the completion of the proposal.
