DISCLOSURE REGARDING CHANGE OF CONTROL
The EU Takeover Bids Directive, as partially implemented in the
Danish Financial Statements Act, requires listed companies to
disclose information about significant agreements that may be
affected in case of a completed takeover bid, in particular in
relation to disclosure of change-of-control provisions.
Lundbeck discloses that the Group has a major partnership
agreement in place under which an acquiring entity must divest
any competing product according to an agreed process and, in
the absence of such divesture, Lundbeck's partner may
terminate the agreement. The Lundbeck Group may be met with
demands for repayment on its debt portfolio should
Lundbeckfond Invest A/S hold less than 50% of the share
capital or voting rights in H. Lundbeck A/S (change of control).
In the event Lundbeck is acquired or merges, certain Executive
Management members may, depending on the impact on their
position, be entitled to terminate employment with Lundbeck
with a three (3) months' notice and receive a compensation of
up to eighteen (18) months' remuneration.
Given the ownership structure of Lundbeck the risks are
considered remote. For information about the ownership
structure of Lundbeck, see page 47-48.
