Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Half of 2016 and Improves 2016 Financial Guidance

August 9, 2016; Copenhagen, Denmark; Interim Report for First Half 2016

Highlights

  • Net Sales of DARZALEX® (daratumumab) by Janssen for the first half of 2016 were USD 209 million, resulting in royalty income of USD 25 million (DKK 168 million)
  • 2016 financial guidance improved
  • Announced European conditional marketing authorization of DARZALEX for heavily pretreated or double-refractory multiple myeloma
  • Achieved USD 30 million milestone for first commercial sale of DARZALEX in Europe
  • Announced positive topline result in Phase III POLLUX study of daratumumab in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
  • Announced that U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted priority review to sBLA for ofatumumab (Arzerra®) in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) in relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
  • Announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a negative opinion for Arzerra as maintenance therapy in relapsed CLL
  • Announced Phase III studies of ofatumumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis

"The two major highlights during the second quarter were the rapid European approval of DARZALEX and positive Phase III data from the POLLUX study. DARZALEX was successfully launched by our collaboration partner Janssen shortly after the approval, triggering a milestone payment of USD 30 million to Genmab. We were also very excited about the Phase III POLLUX study data which showed that daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone led to a significant improvement in progression free survival in treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Financial Performance First Half

  • Revenue was DKK 524 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 281 million in the first half of 2015. The increase of DKK 243 million, or 86%, was mainly driven by higher royalty and milestone revenue under our daratumumab collaboration with Janssen.
  • Operating expenses were DKK 366 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 244 million in the first half of 2015. The increase of DKK 122 million, or 50%, was due to the additional investment in our pipeline of products, including the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, HuMax®- AXL-ADC, HexaBody®-DR5/DR5, DuoBody®-CD3xCD20, and our other pre-clinical programs.
  • Operating income was DKK 158 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 212 million in the first half of 2015. The decrease of DKK 54 million, or 25%, was driven by the one-time reversal of the ofatumumab funding liability of DKK 176 million in 2015 combined with increased operating expenses in 2016, which were partly offset by higher revenue in 2016.
  • On June 30, 2016, Genmab had a cash position of DKK 3,762 million compared to DKK 3,493 million at December 31, 2015. This represented a net increase of DKK 269 million, which was driven primarily by income from operations and the proceeds from the exercise of warrants for DKK 82 million.

Business Progress Second Quarter

Daratumumab

  • May: Achieved a USD 30 million milestone triggered by the first commercial sale of DARZALEX in Europe.
  • May: Announced that the European Commission (EC) granted a conditional marketing authorization for DARZALEX for heavily pre-treated or double-refractory multiple myeloma. The

Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Half of 2016 and Improves 2016 Financial Guidance

approval followed a positive recommendation for DARZALEX from the CHMP of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in April.

  • May: Announced that the Phase III POLLUX study (MMY3003) of daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma met the primary endpoint at a pre-planned interim analysis (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.37 (95% CI 0.27-0.52), p<0.0001). Patients who received treatment with daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone had a 63% reduction in risk of their disease progressing, compared to those who did not receive daratumumab. The median progression free survival (PFS) for patients treated with daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone has not been reached, compared to an estimated median PFS of 18.4 months for patients who received lenalidomide and dexamethasone alone. Janssen will engage in a dialogue with health authorities about the potential for a regulatory submission for this indication.
  • April: Reported more detailed data from the Phase III CASTOR (MMY3004) study of daratumumab in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone versus bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The study met the primary endpoint of improving PFS; HR = 0.39, p<0.0001. The median PFS for patients treated with daratumumab has not been reached, compared to median PFS of 7.2 months for patients who did not receive daratumumab.
  • April: Announced that MorphoSys filed a complaint at the U.S. District Court of Delaware against Genmab and Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen), for patent infringement under U.S. patent no. 8,263,746 based on activities relating to the manufacture, use and sale of DARZALEX in the United States. Genmab and Janssen disagree with the allegations made by MorphoSys in its complaint for patent infringement and intend to vigorously contest those allegations.

Ofatumumab

  • June: Announced that the CHMP of the EMA issued a negative opinion on the use of Arzerra as maintenance therapy for patients with relapsed CLL.
  • June: Announced that Novartis will start Phase III studies of the subcutaneous formulation of ofatumumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) with enrollment of patients to start in September 2016.
  • May: Announced that the U.S. FDA granted Priority Review to the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for the use of ofatumumab in combination with FC for the treatment of patients with relapsed CLL.

Subsequent Event

• July: The U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for DARZALEX injection in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. Breakthrough Therapy Designation is a program intended to expedite the development and review of drugs to treat serious or life-threatening diseases in cases where preliminary clinical evidence shows that the drug may provide substantial improvements over available therapy.

Outlook

Genmab is improving its 2016 financial guidance published on April 20, 2016 and reiterated on May 10, 2016, due to increased revenue and operating expenses resulting in increased operating income and cash position.

Genmab is improving its 2016 financial guidance published on April 20, 2016 and reiterated on May 10, 2016, due to increased revenue and operating expenses resulting in increased operating income and cash position.

Operating Result

We expect our 2016 revenue to be in the range of DKK 975 – 1,025 million, an increase of DKK 50 million compared to the previous guidance. Our projected revenue for 2016 consists primarily of daratumumab milestones of DKK 400 million and DARZALEX royalties of DKK 350 – 400 million (previously DKK 300 – 350 million) that are based on an estimated USD 440 – 490 million of DARZALEX sales in 2016 (previously USD 400 – 450 million). The remainder of the revenue mainly consists of Arzerra royalties, DuoBody milestones, and non-cash amortization of deferred revenue.

We anticipate that our 2016 operating expenses will be in the range of DKK 800 – 850 million, an increase of DKK 25 million compared to the DKK 775 – 825 million in the previous guidance. The increased expense level compared to the previous guidance is driven by the additional investment in our pipeline of products, including the advancement of tisotumab vedotin as well as HuMax-AXL-ADC, HexaBody-DR5/DR5, DuoBody-CD3xCD20, and our other pre-clinical programs.

As a result of the increased revenue and expenses, we now expect the operating income for 2016 to be approximately DKK 150 - 200 million, compared to DKK 125 - 175 million in the previous guidance.

Cash Position

We are now projecting a cash position at the end of 2016 of DKK 3,550 – 3,650 million, an improvement of DKK 150 million, compared to the previous guidance of DKK 3,400 – 3,500 million. The increase is due to the improved operating result, proceeds from warrants exercised in May, and other working capital adjustments.

Outlook: Risks and Assumptions

In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to the achievement of certain milestones associated with our collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by our collaboration partners) and related income and costs; Arzerra and DARZALEX sales and corresponding royalties to Genmab; fluctuations in the value of our marketable securities; and currency exchange rates. The financial guidance does not include any potential proceeds from future warrant exercises and also assumes that no significant agreements are entered into during 2016 that could materially affect the results.

  • Collaboration with Janssen
  • H1 2016 net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 209 million

DARZALEX (daratumumab) is a human IgG1k mAb that binds with high affinity to the CD38 molecule, which is highly expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells. It induces rapid tumor cell death through multiple diverse mechanisms of action. It is marketed and developed under a collaboration agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. DARZALEX is approved in certain territories for certain multiple myeloma indications as described below.

Positive data from two Phase III studies of daratumumab in combination with other therapies for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma were reported in 2016. Three additional Phase III clinical studies with daratumumab in front line settings are currently ongoing, and additional studies are ongoing or planned to assess its potential in other malignant and pre-malignant diseases on which CD38 is expressed, such as smoldering myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and in a solid tumor.

Approved in Double-refractory Multiple Myeloma

In November 2015, DARZALEX (daratumumab) injection for intravenous infusion was approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent, or who are doublerefractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agent. In May 2016, the EC granted conditional marketing authorization for the use of DARZALEX as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, whose prior therapy included a PI and an immunomodulatory agent and who have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.

The approvals were predominantly based on results from the pivotal Phase II MMY2002 (SIRIUS) study, which showed that treatment with single-agent DARZALEX resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) of 29.2% in patients who had received a median of five prior lines of therapy, including a PI and an immunomodulatory agent. Stringent complete response (sCR) was reported in 2.8% of patients, very good partial response (VGPR) was reported in 9.4% of patients, and partial response (PR) was reported in 17% of patients.

For responders, the median duration of response was 7.4 months. At baseline, 97% of patients were refractory to their last line of therapy, 95% were refractory to both a PI and an immunomodulatory agent, and 77% were refractory to alkylating agents. Additional efficacy data from the Phase I/II GEN501 monotherapy study also supported this approval.

Safety Information for DARZALEX

The warnings and precautions for DARZALEX include infusion reactions, interference with serological testing and interference with determination of complete response. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) were: fatigue, nausea, back pain, pyrexia, cough and upper respiratory tract infection.

In data from three pooled clinical studies including a total of 156 patients, 4% of patients discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions, none of which were considered drug-related. Infusion reactions were reported in approximately half of all patients treated with DARZALEX. Common (≥5%) symptoms of infusion reactions included nasal congestion, chills, cough, allergic rhinitis, throat irritation, dyspnea (shortness of breath) and nausea. Severe infusion reactions included bronchospasm, dyspnea, hypoxia and hypertension (<2% each).

Please consult the full U.S. Prescribing information for all the labeled safety information for DARZALEX.

Genmab A/S Tel: +45 7020 2728 Company Announcement no. 32 Bredgade 34E Fax: +45 7020 2729 Page 10/33 1260 Copenhagen K, Denmark www.genmab.com CVR no. 2102 3884

Approved in First-line CLL

In April 2014, the U.S. FDA approved the use of Arzerra in combination with chlorambucil for the treatment of previously untreated patients with CLL for whom fludarabine-based therapy is considered inappropriate. In July 2014, EU authorization was granted for the use of Arzerra in combination with chlorambucil or bendamustine for the treatment of patients with CLL who have not received prior therapy and who are not eligible for fludarabine-based therapy.

The approvals were based on results from a Phase III study (COMPLEMENT 1) evaluating the combination of Arzerra and chlorambucil (N=221) versus chlorambucil alone (N=226) which demonstrated statistically significant improvement in median progression free survival (PFS) in patients randomized to Arzerra and chlorambucil compared to patients randomized to chlorambucil alone (22.4 months versus 13.1 months, respectively) (HR=0.57 [95% CI, 0.45, 0.72] p<0.001).

The EU approval was also based on results from a supportive Phase II study evaluating Arzerra in combination with bendamustine in 44 patients with previously untreated CLL for whom fludarabine-based treatment was considered inappropriate. Results of this study demonstrated that Arzerra in combination with bendamustine provided an overall response rate (ORR) of 95% (95% CI, 85, 99) and a complete response rate (CR) of 43%.

Approved in Refractory CLL

Arzerra is marketed to treat CLL in patients who are refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab in all major markets. The approval was based on interim results from a pivotal study of 154 patients; the efficacy population comprised 59 patients with CLL refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab. The ORR was 42% (all partial responses; no complete responses) and median duration of response was 6.5 months.

Approved as Extended Treatment for Recurrent or Progressive CLL in the U.S.

In January 2016, the U.S. FDA approved the use of Arzerra for extended treatment of patients who are in complete or partial response after at least two lines of therapy for recurrent or progressive CLL.This approval was based on data from the Phase III study PROLONG (OMB114517), evaluating ofatumumab maintenance therapy versus no further treatment (observation) in patients with relapsed CLL who responded to induction treatment at relapse (N=474). Results from the study showed that patients who received ofatumumab maintenance treatment lived 14.2 months longer without their disease worsening than patients who received no further treatment. Median PFS as assessed by the investigators was 29.4 months for the ofatumumab treatment arm and 15.2 months for the observation arm (Hazard Ratio 0.50; p<0.0001).

Safety Information for Arzerra

The overall safety profile of Arzerra in CLL (previously untreated and relapsed or refractory) is based on data from more than 3,500 patients treated alone or in combination with other therapies in clinical trials.

The most common side effects for Arzerra include adverse events associated with infusion reactions, cytopenias (neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia), and infections (lower respiratory tract infection, including pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, sepsis, including neutropenic sepsis and septic shock, herpes virus infection, urinary tract infection).

Please consult the full European Summary of Product Characteristics and full US Prescribing information, including Boxed Warning, for all the labeled safety information for Arzerra.

Dual-targeting may improve binding specificity and enhance therapeutic efficacy. Bispecific antibodies generated with the DuoBody platform can be used for the development of therapeutics for cancer, autoimmune, infectious and central nervous system

Genmab A/S Tel: +45 7020 2728 Company Announcement no. 32 Bredgade 34E Fax: +45 7020 2729 Page 15/33 1260 Copenhagen K, Denmark www.genmab.com CVR no. 2102 3884

diseases. DuoBody molecules are unique in combining the benefits of bispecificity with the strengths of conventional antibodies, which allows DuoBody molecules to be administered and dosed the same way as other antibody therapeutics. Genmab's DuoBody platform generates bispecific antibodies via a versatile and broadly applicable process which is easily performed at standard bench, as well as commercial manufacturing scale. Genmab uses the DuoBody platform to create our own bispecific antibody programs and the technology is also available for licensing. Genmab has numerous alliances for the DuoBody platform including collaborations with Janssen, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Aduro Biotech Europe and BioNTech.

For more information on the DuoBody platform, visit www.genmab.com/duobody.

Second Quarter Update

• April/May: Three pre-clinical milestones were reached in the Janssen DuoBody technology collaboration, triggering total payments of USD 3.75 million to Genmab.

HexaBody Technology – Creating Differentiated Therapeutics

  • Enhanced potency antibody technology platform
  • Broadly applicable technology builds on natural antibody biology
  • Pre-clinical proof-of-concept achieved
  • Research collaborations with Humabs BioMed and Agenus

The HexaBody technology is Genmab's proprietary technology that is designed to increase the potency of antibodies. The HexaBody platform strengthens the natural killing ability of antibodies while retaining regular structure and specificity. The technology allows for the creation of potent therapeutics by inducing antibody hexamer formation (clusters of six antibodies). The HexaBody platform builds on natural antibody biology and enhances direct or complement-mediated killing, allowing antibodies with limited or absent killing capacity to be transformed into potent, cytotoxic antibodies. The HexaBody technology creates opportunities to explore new product candidates, to repurpose drug candidates unsuccessful in previous clinical trials due to insufficient potency and may provide a useful strategy in product life cycle extension. The HexaBody technology is broadly applicable and can be combined with Genmab's DuoBody platform as well as other antibody technologies. The technology has the potential to enhance antibody therapeutics for a broad range of applications in cancer and infectious diseases. Genmab intends to use the HexaBody technology for our own antibody programs and the technology is also available for licensing. Genmab has entered HexaBody research collaborations with Humabs BioMed and Agenus.

Revenue

Genmab's revenue was DKK 524 million for the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 281 million for the corresponding period in 2015. The increase of DKK 243 million, or 86%, was mainly driven by higher royalty and milestone revenue under our daratumumab collaboration with Janssen.

2015
Royalties 202 42
Milestone payments 271 71
Deferred revenue 45 144
Reimbursement income 6 24
Total revenue 524 281

Recognition of revenue may vary from period to period as revenue comprises royalties, milestone payments and reimbursement of certain research and development costs in relation to development work under Genmab's collaboration agreements.

Royalties

Royalty income amounted to DKK 202 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 42 million in the first half of 2015. The increase of DKK 160 million was driven by DARZALEX royalties, which were partly offset by lower Arzerra royalties.

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 209 million for the first half of 2016, resulting in royalty income of DKK 168 million. The first sales of DARZALEX occurred following the U.S. FDA approval on November 16, 2015.

Novartis' net sales of Arzerra were USD 24.8 million in the first half of 2016 compared to USD 31.8 million in the first half of 2015, a decrease of 22%. Sales were negatively impacted by increased competition, primarily from Imbruvica® (ibrutinib).

The total recognized royalties on net sales of Arzerra for the first half of 2016 were DKK 34 million compared to DKK 42 million in the corresponding period for 2015. The decrease in royalties of DKK 8 million, or 19%, is lower than the decrease in the underlying sales due to currency fluctuations between the USD and DKK.

Milestone Payments

In the first half of 2016, two milestone payments were achieved under the daratumumab collaboration with Janssen. In March, a milestone payment of DKK 34 million was triggered by progress in the ongoing Phase II study ("Carina" LYM2001). In May, a milestone payment of DKK 200 million was triggered by the first commercial sale of DARZALEX in Europe. In addition, three pre-clinical development milestones totaling DKK 25 million were achieved under our DuoBody collaboration with Janssen and one pre-clinical development milestone of DKK 11 million was achieved under our collaboration with Lundbeck.

In the first half of 2015 one milestone payment was achieved under the daratumumab collaboration with Janssen. The milestone of DKK 71 million was triggered in April by progress in the ongoing Phase III study ("Alcyone" MMY3007).

Deferred Revenue

In the first half of 2016, deferred revenue amounted to DKK 45 million compared to DKK 144 million in the first half of 2015. The decrease of DKK 99 million, or 69%, was driven by the deferred revenue related to the ofatumumab collaboration, which was fully amortized at the end of 2015. Deferred revenue is related

to our collaboration agreements and is recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over planned development periods. As of June 30, 2016, DKK 242 million was included as deferred income in the balance sheet. Please refer to note 2.1 in the 2015 annual report for further details about the accounting treatment of deferred revenue.

Reimbursement Income

Reimbursement income amounted to DKK 6 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 24 million in the first half of 2015. The decrease of DKK 18 million was due to lower reimbursement income under our daratumumab collaboration, as Janssen is executing all clinical trials.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs amounted to DKK 315 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 196 million in the first half of 2015. The increase of DKK 119 million, or 61%, was driven by the additional investment in our pipeline of products, including the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, HuMax-AXL-ADC, HexaBody-DR5/DR5, DuoBody-CD3xCD20, and our other pre-clinical programs. Research and development costs accounted for 86% of our total operating expenses in the first half of 2016 compared to 80% in the first half of 2015.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were DKK 51 million in the first half of 2016, compared to DKK 48 million in the corresponding period for 2015. The increase of DKK 3 million, or 6%, was driven by higher non-cash share-based compensation mainly due to an increasing share price. General and administrative expenses accounted for 14% of our total operating expenses in the first half of 2016 compared to 20% in the first half of 2015.

Other Income

In March 2015, the agreement to transfer the ofatumumab collaboration from GSK to Novartis became effective. As a result of the transfer, Genmab was not required to pay the existing deferred funding liability of DKK 176 million, which was reversed during the first quarter of 2015, and the corresponding one-time gain was recognized in the income statement as other income.

Operating Result

Operating income was DKK 158 million in the first half of 2016 compared to DKK 212 million in the corresponding period for 2015. The decrease of DKK 54 million, or 25%, was driven by the one-time reversal of the ofatumumab funding liability of DKK 176 million in 2015 combined with increased operating expenses in 2016, which were partly offset by higher revenue in 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, the total number of employees was 198 compared to 179 employees as of June 30, 2015. The increase was due to the expansion of our clinical product pipeline and our pre-clinical programs and related administrative support functions.

Cash Position

As of June 30, 2016, Genmab's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (cash position) amounted to DKK 3,762 million. This represents a net increase of DKK 269 million from the beginning of 2016, which was driven primarily by income from operations and the proceeds from the exercise of warrants for DKK 82 million. During the first half of 2015 our cash position increased by DKK 297 million which was primarily related to the proceeds from the exercise of warrants for DKK 478 million, partly offset by the ongoing investment in our research and development activities.

On June 30, 2016, Genmab's equity ratio was 91% compared to 89% at the end of 2015. The increase was driven by our net income as well as the exercise of warrants in the first half of 2016.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), "Interim Financial Reporting" and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The interim report has not been reviewed or audited by Genmab's external auditors.

Accounting Policies

Except as outlined below, the interim report has been prepared using the same accounting policies as outlined in section 1 – Basis of Presentation in the financial statements in the 2015 annual report.

Genmab has, with effect from January 1, 2016, implemented the amendments to IAS 27, IAS 16, IAS 38, IFRS 11, IFRS 10, IAS 28, IAS 1 and the improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycles. The implementation has not impacted the recognition and measurement of Genmab assets and liabilities.

Management Judgments and Estimates under IFRS

In preparing interim reports, certain provisions under IFRS require management to make judgments (various accounting estimates and assumptions) which may significantly impact the group's financial statements. The most significant judgments include, among other things, revenue recognition, sharebased compensation, and recognition of internally generated intangible assets. For additional descriptions of significant judgments and estimates, refer to note 1.3 in the 2015 annual report.

Fair Value Measurement

For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 for financial instruments requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy for:

  • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
  • Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

In accordance with the group's risk management guidelines, Genmab's marketable securities are administrated by two external investment managers who solely invest in securities from investment grade issuers.

As of June 30, 2016, Genmab had only invested its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, Danish mortgage bonds and notes issued by Danish, European, and American governments.

Note 3 – Share-Based Instruments

Restricted Stock Unit Program

Genmab A/S established a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) program as an incentive for the members of the Board of Directors and members of the Executive Management in 2014.

Each restricted stock unit provides the owner with a right and obligation to receive one share in Genmab A/S of nominally DKK 1. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is equal to the closing market price on the date of grant of one Genmab A/S share.

Genmab A/S intends to purchase its own shares in order to cover its obligations in relation to the RSUs. Authorization to purchase Genmab A/S' own shares up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000 was given at the Annual General Meeting in March 2016. No shares have been purchased as of June 30, 2016.

RSU Activity

The RSU activity in the first half of 2016 and 2015, respectively, is outlined below.

Warrant Program

Genmab A/S established warrant programs as an incentive for the members of the Executive Management and the group's employees.

Warrants Granted from August 2004 until April 2012

Under the August 2004 warrant program, warrants vest annually over a four year period on the anniversary of the grant date. Warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As a general rule, the warrant holder may only exercise 25% of the warrants granted per full year of employment or affiliation with Genmab after the grant date.

However, the warrant holder will be entitled to retain rights to exercise all warrants on a regular schedule in instances where the employment relationship is terminated by Genmab without cause.

Warrants Granted from April 2012

In April 2012, a new warrant program was adopted by the Board of Directors. Whereas warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, warrants granted under the new April 2012 warrant program will lapse at the seventh anniversary of the grant date. All other terms in the warrant programs are identical.

DKK 340.53 per warrant. During the first half of 2015, 33,150 warrants were granted to our employees with a weighted average exercise price of DKK 518.87 per warrant and a weighted average Black-Scholes fair market value of DKK 172.96 per warrant.

In the first half of 2016, 302,669 warrants were exercised with proceeds to Genmab of DKK 82 million. The warrants exercised increased Genmab's share capital accordingly and corresponded to approximately 0.5% of Genmab's share capital. In the first half of 2015, 1,750,080 warrants were exercised with proceeds to Genmab of DKK 478 million.

Share-based compensation expenses for the first half of 2016 totaled DKK 25 million compared to DKK 18 million in the corresponding period for 2015. The group accounts for share-based compensation by recognizing compensation expenses related to share-based instruments granted to the Board of Directors, Executive Management and employees in the income statement. Such compensation expenses represent the fair market values of RSUs and warrants granted and do not represent actual cash expenditures.

Following Genmab A/S' Annual General Meeting on March 17, 2016, the Board of Directors is comprised of four independent directors, one non-independent director, and three employee-elected directors. Mats Pettersson, Dr. Anders Gersel Pedersen, Dr. Burton G. Malkiel, Dr. Paolo Paoletti and Pernille Erenbjerg were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a one year period. Peter Storm Kristensen, Dr. Rick Hibbert and Daniel Bruno were elected to the Board of Directors by the employees for a three year period. Nedjad Losic and Dr. Tom Vink stepped down from the Board of Directors. The reclassification of the employee elected board members' shares and share-based instruments is shown in the transferred column of the tables above. The Board of Directors convened and constituted itself with Mr. Pettersson as Chairman and Dr. Pedersen as Deputy Chairman.

Other than the remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management and the transactions detailed in the tables above, no other significant transactions took place during the first half of 2016. For further information on the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management, refer to note 5.1 in the 2015 annual report.

Note 5 - Subsequent Events to the Balance Sheet Date

On July 26, 2016 the U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for DARZALEX injection in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. Breakthrough Therapy Designation is a program intended to expedite the development and review of drugs to treat serious or life-threatening diseases in cases where preliminary clinical evidence shows that the drug may provide substantial improvements over available therapy.

No other events have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date that could significantly affect the financial statements as of June 30, 2016.

DIRECTORS' AND MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON THE INTERIM REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Executive Management have today considered and adopted the unaudited interim report of the Genmab group for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), "Interim Financial Reporting", as endorsed by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies.

We consider the applied accounting policies to be appropriate and, in our opinion, the interim report gives a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the group.

Furthermore, we consider the Directors' Report, pages 4-20, to give a true and fair account of the development in the group's activities and financial affairs, results of operations and the group's financial position as a whole as well as a description of the significant risks and uncertainties which the group faces.
