Re agenda item 6:
The Board of Directors of H. Lundbeck A/S should consist of persons who
together possess the financial, pharmaceutical and international qualifications
required for safeguarding the Company's and thus the shareholders' interests in
the best manner possible having regard to the Company's other stakeholders. The
Board of Directors' most important duties are to formulate Lundbeck's overall
strategy, set specific objectives for the Company's Executive Management and
ensure that the members of the Executive Management have the right

For a more detailed description of the desired qualifications for members of
the Board of Directors, please see the Company's website: www.lundbeck.com à
About Us à Corporate Governance.

Members of the Board of Directors elected by the general meeting are elected or
re-elected every year, and therefore the term of office of the current members
expires in connection with this annual general meeting. The Board of Directors
proposes that the following members elected by the general meeting should be
re-elected: Håkan Björklund, Christian Dyvig, Thorleif Krarup, Melanie G. Lee
and Lars Rasmussen. Furthermore, the Board of Directors proposes that Terrie
Curran is elected. Jes Østergaard does not wish to stand for re-election. The
Board of Directors expects to re-elect Håkan Björklund as Chairman and
Christian Dyvig as Deputy Chairman.

The Board of Directors assesses that the candidates together possess the
professional and international experience required for maintaining the
Company's position as a leading global pharmaceutical company focusing on
research and development in the field of brain disorders. The Board of
Directors also considers the size of the Board appropriate taking into account
the Company's needs and the aim of ensuring constructive debate and effective
decision-making. Regard has been given to diversity in the selection of board
candidates.

The Recommendations on Corporate Governance recommend that at least half of a
company's board members elected by the general meeting should be independent of
the company. Håkan Björklund, Melanie G. Lee, Lars Rasmussen, and Terrie Curran
meet the criteria for independence. Thorleif Krarup and Christian Dyvig are
considered non-independent board members by reason of their activities in the
Lundbeck Foundation. If the proposed candidates are elected to the Board of
Directors, the Board will meet the recommendation for independence as defined
by the Recommendations on Corporate Governance.

   Programme 2014). The Warrant Programme 2014 will supersede the revolving
   LTI programs in 2014, 2015 and 2016 which implies that the members of
   the Executive Management will not receive any shares or share-based
   instruments under the revolving LTI program in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
   -- The complete wording of the updated "Remuneration guidelines for the
   Board of Directors and the Executive Management of H. Lundbeck A/S” will
   be made available on the Company's website on or before 4 March 2014.

1. The Board of Directors proposes that the authorization to the Board of
   Directors in article 4.1 of the Articles of Association of the Company to
   increase the share capital of the Company be amended to align the
   provisions in article 4.1 with the practice of the Danish Business
   Authority.
   The Board of Directors proposes that the authorization to the Board of
   Directors in article 4.1 of the Articles of Association of the Company to
   increase the share capital of the Company be amended to align the
   provisions in article 4.1 with the practice of the Danish Business
   Authority.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors proposes to replace article 4.1 with new
articles 4.1-4.3 as follows:

"4.1

The Board of Directors is authorised, for the period until 30 March 2015, to
increase, in one or more rounds, the Company’s share capital by a nominal
amount of up to DKK 40,000,000. The new shares shall be issued at market price
and the capital increase shall be implemented without pre-emption rights for
the Company’s existing shareholders. The Board of Directors may decide to

contribution, including as consideration for the Company’s acquisition of an
existing business or other assets.

4.2

increase, in one or more rounds, the Company’s share capital by a nominal
amount of up to DKK 40,000,000. The capital increase shall be implemented with
pre-emption rights for the Company’s existing shareholders. The Board of
Directors shall determine the subscription price. The Board of Directors may
decide to implement the increase of the share capital wholly or partly by way
of non-cash contribution, including as consideration for the Company’s

4.3

The capital increase which the Board of Directors may decide upon pursuant to
articles 4.1 and 4.2 cannot exceed a total aggregate nominal amount of DKK
40,000,000."

The Board of Directors has repealed existing articles 4.2 and 4.3 which were
both fully exhausted and expired on 14 April 2010 and 21 April 2013,
respectively. The Board of Directors has made the necessary editorial changes
to articles 4.7-4.13 and exhibits 7-10 to reflect the repeal of existing
articles 4.2 and 4.3.

1. It is proposed that the Board of Directors should be authorised until the
   next annual general meeting to allow the Company to acquire own shares of a
   total nominal value of up to 10% of the share capital in accordance with
   applicable law. The purchase price for the relevant shares may not deviate by
   more than 10% from the price quoted on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S at the time of
   the acquisition.

   7.The Board of Directors proposes that the chairman of the general meeting
   is authorised to make such amendments and additions to the resolutions
   passed by the general meeting and the application for registration with the
   Danish Business Authority that may be required by the Danish Business Authority
   in connection with the registration of the adopted amendments.

Safe Harbor/Forward-Looking Statements

The above information contains forward-looking statements that provide our
expectations or forecasts of future events such as new product introductions,
product approvals and financial performance.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and
inaccurate assumptions. This may cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations and it may cause any or all of our forward-looking statements here
or in other publications to be wrong. Factors that may affect future results
include interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, delay or failure
of development projects, production problems, unexpected contract breaches or
terminations, government-mandated or market-driven price decreases for
Lundbeck's products, introduction of competing products, Lundbeck's ability to
successfully market both new and existing products, exposure to product
liability and other lawsuits, changes in reimbursement rules and governmental
laws and related interpretation thereof, and unexpected growth in costs and
expenses.

Certain assumptions made by Lundbeck are required by Danish Securities Law for
full disclosure of material corporate information. Some assumptions, including
assumptions relating to sales associated with product that is prescribed for
unapproved uses, are made taking into account past performances of other
similar drugs for similar disease states or past performance of the same drug
in other regions where the product is currently marketed. It is important to
note that although physicians may, as part of their freedom to practice
medicine in the US, prescribe approved drugs for any use they deem appropriate,
including unapproved uses, at Lundbeck, promotion of unapproved uses is
strictly prohibited.
