Following Genmab A/S' Annual General Meeting on April 6, 2011 the Board of
Directors convened and constituted itself with Dr. Michael B. Widmer as
Chairman and Dr. Anders Gersel Pedersen as Deputy Chairman.
Subsequently, on the meeting today the Board decided to issue 54,500 warrants
to a board member and to employees of the company as well as the company's
subsidiaries.
The exercise price for each warrant is DKK 55.85. Each warrant entitles the
owner to subscribe one share of nominally DKK 1. On the basis of an exercise
price of DKK 55.85 and by application of the Black-Scholes formula, the average
value of each warrant can be calculated as DKK 31.18 based on an interest rate
of 2.6016% and the historical volatility of Genmab A/S shares calculated at
62.60%.
The warrants vest in blocks of 25% one, two, three and four years after the
grant date, and all warrants expire at the tenth anniversary of the grant date.
The new warrants were granted pursuant to the warrant plan adopted by the board
on August 3, 2004. Information concerning Genmab's warrant schemes can be found
