Copenhagen, Denmark; November 11, 2003 – At today’s
Extraordinary General Meeting in Genmab A/S
(CSE: GEN) Dr. Anders Gersel Pedersen was
elected as member of the board of directors of Genmab A/S, for a period expiring at the Annual General
Meeting to be held in 2007.
Dr. Pedersen is Senior Vice President, Development at H. Lundbeck A/S, Denmark and also currently serves at the
board of directors of TopoTarget A/S.
Following the meeting Genmab A/S’ board of
directors met and decided to issue 25,000 warrants to the new member of the
board of directors. The exercise price for each warrant is DKK 59.00. Each
warrant entitles the owner to subscribe one share of nominally DKK 1.
On the basis of an exercise price of DKK 59.00 and by application of the
Black-Scholes formula, the value of each
warrant can be calculated as DKK 46.40 based on an interest rate of 3,67% and the historical volatility of Genmab A/S shares calculated at 120%.
50% of the warrants granted may be exercised one year after grant and for a
period of three years thereafter and 50% the warrants may be exercised from
two years after grant and for a period of three years thereafter although
no warrants may be exercised after April 23, 2008. Further information on
the plan pursuant to which the warrants are granted can be found at
www.genmab.com under the heading ‘warrant scheme’.
