Cash return priorities
Based on the increased expectations for cash flow
generation in 2018, the Board of Directors approved an
expansion of the 2018 share repurchase programme with
DKK 1.0 billion to DKK 15 billion in October 2018
• Total programme may be reduced in size if significant
product in-licensing or bolt-on acquisition opportunities
arise during 2018
•
Dividend distributed twice a year as interim dividend in
August and final dividend in March the following year
For 2017, the total dividend increased to DKK 7.85 per
share of DKK 0.20
For 2018, the interim dividend of DKK 3.00 was paid in
August 2018
