MANAGEMENT REVIEW
Financial guidance and forward-looking statements
For the fiscal year 2016, Lundbeck expects constant exchange rate revenue to reach DKK 13.8-14.2 billion. Lundbeck expects profit from operations (EBIT) in constant exchange rate to reach DKK 1.0-1.2 billion for 2016.
The guidance is summarized below:
Financial forecast 2016
| DKK billion | 2015 actual | 2016 forecast |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 14.6 | 13.8-14.2 |
| EBIT | (6.8) | 1.0-1.2 |
Long-term financial targets
In order to measure our success, Lundbeck's executive management has defined financial long-term targets to describe what Lundbeck strives for on the journey to realize our strategy and to govern the company's path towards increased profitability and enhanced cash flow generation.
| Key figures | Definition | Financial target |
|---|---|---|
| EBIT margin (%) | Profit from operations as a percentage of revenue | 25% |
| ROIC (%) | Profit from operations (EBIT) after tax as a percentage of average invested capital | 25% |
| Cash-to-earnings | Free cash flow as a percentage of net profit | >90% |
In addition, Lundbeck has a financial policy which aims to have a net debt to EBITDA less than 2x. Furthermore, Lundbeck has a policy for dividend pay-out ratio which has been adjusted from a previous range from 25% to 35% to a range between 30% and 40%. The revised range will bring the expected pay-out ratio more in line with similar sized pharmaceutical companies in Europe. For 2015, the Board of Directors proposes no dividend payout due to the loss for the year.
Major restructuring programme to regain profitability and ensure value creation
In August 2015, Lundbeck announced a major restructuring programme. The programme was initiated in order to significantly improve profitability and the company's value creation. Lundbeck needs higher profitability to be able to invest in future profitable growth initiatives leading to better treatments for patients and secure a competitive return on investment.
Total restructuring impact is approximately DKK 1.8 billion which was recognized in the third quarter and the initiative aims to improve cost structures and accelerate productivity improvements across the company. The cost base is expected to be improved by approximately DKK 3 billion by 2017.
In the past few years, Lundbeck has gone through major restructurings of its European commercial infrastructure. However, it has been necessary to further adjust the commercial set-up primarily in Europe. Lundbeck emphasizes the focus on the following products: Abilify Maintena, Brintellix, Northera, Onfi and Rexulti. Furthermore, Lundbeck captures savings through restructuring of all headquarter functions, further minimize G&A functions at affiliates and also expand the newly established Business Service Center in Kraków in Poland. In R&D, a number of cost reduction initiatives were identified including closure of selected early-stage projects. Lundbeck expects that the restructuring programme will affect approximately 1,000 employees.

Financial implications of the restructuring programme
Following the restructuring programme, Lundbeck has recognized provisions for DKK 1.1 billion for severance payments and restructuring costs. Furthermore, in the third quarter, Lundbeck has recognized approximately DKK 0.7 billion in impairment loss due to changed management estimates of certain intangible rights and fixed assets.
When the restructuring programme is finalized, we expect to significantly improve the company's profitability and we are guiding for positive operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 1.0-1.2 billion in 2016 with further improvements in 2017.
From reclassification of product rights to impairment testing
In the second quarter of 2015, Lundbeck made a reclassification of certain product rights of DKK 4.8 billion, mainly related to Rexulti and Abilify Maintena, which was recognized in research and development costs. This was based on Management's assessment of changes in accounting estimates at 30 June 2015.
Previously, all material milestone payments triggered by an event were treated as an addition to the purchase price for the product rights. They were therefore capitalized, and when the products were launched, amortized over the product's life cycle. Prior to receiving final market registration approval, there is significant uncertainty as to whether the product will be approved and launched, i.e. whether a product right exists at this stage. Consequently, Management decided at 30 June 2015 to adopt a more conservative approach when these milestone payments predominantly are triggered by or relate to research and development or pre-registration efforts.
Based on dialogue with the Danish Business Authority ("Erhvervsstyrelsen") and the uncertainty mentioned above, Lundbeck has reversed the reclassification and instead performed impairment testing of the product rights reclassified in the second quarter of 2015. The impairment test did not result in any material changes to the income statement, balance sheet and equity compared to the previously reported reclassification in the interim financial reports for the second and third quarter of 2015.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, an additional impairment loss related to these previously reclassified product rights of DKK 0.2 billion was recognized under research and development costs. The total impairment loss for 2015 amounts to DKK 5.0 billion, mainly related to Rexulti, which has been recognized under research and development costs.
The reclassification related to Abilify Maintena has been reversed as these product rights are not impaired at 31 December 2015.
Forward-looking statements
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. This may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Various factors may affect future results, including interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, delay or failure of development projects, production problems, unexpected contract breaches or terminations, governance-mandated or market-driven price decreases for 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 unexpected growth in expenses.
Expansion of the Executive Management at Lundbeck
The Board of Directors has appointed three new Executive Vice Presidents and members of Lundbeck's Executive Management.

Dividend
Based on the financial results for 2015, the Board of Directors will at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 31 March 2015 propose no dividend pay-out for 2015.
Revenue
Revenue for the full year 2015 reached DKK 14,594 million compared to DKK 13,468 million for full year 2014. The increase of 8% is caused by a positive development in some of our main currencies and USD in particular. In local currencies we saw flat revenue development following the significant generic erosion on Cipralex in the European markets and in Canada. This was partly offset by growth from our key products (Abilify Maintena, Brintellix, Northera, Onfi and Rexulti) of 171% (135% in local currencies). For the period, these key products contributed 25% of total revenue.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, revenue grew 15% (7% in local currencies) and reached DKK 3,733 million compared to DKK 3,247 million the year before. Revenue in the quarter was impacted by generic competition on Ebixa and Cipralex in Europe and on Cipralex in Canada. Key products reached DKK 1,189 million, up 142%, and contributed 32% of total revenue in the quarter.

Abilify Maintena (aripiprazole once-monthly injection), for the treatment of schizophrenia and launched within the global alliance with Japanese Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, shows steady sales growth. Sales grew 155%, or 138% in local currencies, and reached DKK 211 million in the fourth quarter.
Azilect (rasagiline) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease realized revenue of DKK 359 million for the quarter.
Revenue from Brintellix (vortioxetine) for the treatment of depression (MDD) reached DKK 211 million in the fourth quarter of the year. The growth was primarily driven by the continued sales growth in the US, however also from launches in countries such as Canada, Chile, Mexico and South Africa. The global launches of Brintellix continue as planned, and feedback from patients and prescribers is encouraging.
Cipralex (escitalopram) for the treatment of depression declined in revenue by 29% in the quarter due to generic competition in the European markets and in Canada. The decline is in line with expectations.
Onfi (clobazam) for the treatment of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome continues to show very strong growth and generated fourth quarter revenue of DKK 516 million, an increase of 44% in local currencies, or 63% reported, compared to the same period last year. Lundbeck has the marketing rights for Onfi in the US.
Sabril (vigabatrin) for the treatment of refractory complex partial seizures (rCPS) and infantile spasms (IS) generated fourth quarter revenue of DKK 265 million, thereby increasing 17% in local currencies, or 35% reported, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Lundbeck has the marketing rights for Sabril in the US.
Xenazine (tetrabenazine) for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease saw the first generic introductions in the fourth quarter which has impacted growth. Revenue reached DKK 542 million compared to DKK 489 million in the same period last year, a slight decline of 2% in local currencies, or an increase of 11% reported. Lundbeck has the marketing rights for Xenazine in the US.

Revenue from Other pharmaceuticals, which comprise the remainder of Lundbeck's products, was DKK 702 million. Other pharmaceuticals are negatively impacted by the generic competition on Ebixa in Europe which is countered by growth in other mature products.
Other revenue reached DKK 104 million in the quarter, compared to DKK 174 million for the same period in the previous year. Other revenue mainly consists of income from contract manufacturing.

Q4 2014
Europe
Revenue reached DKK 3,896 million in 2015 which was a decline compared to DKK 5,019 million in the same period last year. The decline is caused by generic erosion of Cipralex and Ebixa sales following the loss of exclusivity and limited mitigating effects from our new products due to timing of market access.
Fourth quarter revenue in Europe was DKK 972 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the same quarter previous year as Lundbeck's key products are early in their launch phase and only have limited contribution to revenue.

Abilify Maintena has been launched in all major markets in Europe. Sales uptake of Abilify Maintena is encouraging with sales in the fourth quarter reaching DKK 96 million with Spain, France and the UK being the largest markets, followed by Germany and Italy.

Brintellix has been launched in close to 20 European markets so far. As expected, market access is still limited outside the Nordic countries and the Netherlands. However, in countries where Brintellix has been launched (e.g. Poland, Sweden and Denmark) we see a solid uptake.
In October 2015, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK has in its final guidance recommended Brintellix for some adults with depression (MDD). The positive recommendation follows the submission of further evidence from Lundbeck that NICE requested in its previous draft guidance. In its final decision published on 15 October 2015, the German Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss (G-BA, Federal Joint Committee) concludes that Brintellix has not shown additional benefit in the treatment of major depressive episodes in adults. G-BA rejected the clinical evidence submitted on purely formal grounds. Based on this decision, price negotiations between the GKV-Spitzenverband (National Association of Statutory Health Insurance) and Lundbeck will be initiated and should be completed by the end of April 2016.
Fourth quarter revenue from Azilect amounted to DKK 314 million, a decline of 10% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. This performance can primarily be attributed to a decline in the UK and some of the smaller markets across Europe such as Greece.
Cipralex and Ebixa (memantine) declined due to generic competition. Ebixa is included in Other pharmaceuticals.
Selincro (nalmefene), for the treatment of alcohol dependence, realized sales in the fourth quarter of 2015 of DKK 46 million primarily driven by France, which contributed more than 67% of sales, and to a lesser extent Spain and Switzerland.
Revenue from Other pharmaceuticals was DKK 274 million, a decline of around 10% compared to same period the previous year.
US
Revenue reached DKK 6,353 million in 2015, which is an increase of 43% in local currencies, or 69% reported. Lundbeck US continues its solid growth, thereby confirming this market's strategic importance for Lundbeck. Revenue in the US contributed 44% of total revenue compared to 28% in the same period last year.
In the fourth quarter, revenue reached DKK 1,803 million representing 48% of total revenue compared to 36% last year. The revenue increased by 36% in local currencies, or 56% reported, compared to the same quarter previous year.

Abilify Maintena continues to grow and sales reached DKK 92 million, which represents Lundbeck's 20% share of total net sales, for the quarter. Since launch, several improvements to the product offering have been made, including the dual-chamber pre-filled syringe and the positive outcome from the QUALIFY study. Furthermore, the FDA has approved a labelling update to include description of a controlled clinical study of Abilify Maintena for treating adult patients experiencing acute relapses of schizophrenia. In July 2015, FDA approved deltoid injection site for Abilify Maintena in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Brintellix was launched in the US in January 2014, and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 reached DKK 125 million for Lundbeck. Brintellix' share of branded TRx (total prescriptions) volume was 18.5% and the share of branded NRx (new prescriptions) volume was 21.1% by early-January. In value, Brintellix has a similar strong position in the branded market (NRx) with a share of more than 23%.
Northera for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) was made available in the US market in September 2014 and the commercial launch commenced in October 2014. Sales from Northera reached DKK 192 million in the fourth quarter of the year and the level of new patient enrolments remains strong.
Onfi reached revenue of DKK 516 million in the fourth quarter, corresponding to a growth of 44% in local currencies, or 63% reported. The solid performance is primarily driven by demand combined with a positive price development.
Sabril revenue for the quarter was DKK 265 million, growing 17% in local currencies or 35% reported, compared to the same quarter the year before. The performance is primarily driven by demand combined with a positive price development.
Revenue from Xenazine was DKK 539 million for the quarter, a decrease of 2% in local currencies, but an increase of 12% reported, compared to the fourth quarter previous year. The performance was impacted by generic introductions which are starting to have some negative impact on growth though the impact is mitigated by the positive currency development.
Rexulti (brexpiprazole) has been approved by FDA in July 2015 as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of adults with major depressive disorder and as a treatment for adults with schizophrenia. Rexulti was discovered by Otsuka and co-developed with Lundbeck. It is co-marketed by the two companies and became available to patients in the US in early August 2015. Lundbeck's share of the revenue reached DKK 59 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The performance was caused by the generic competition of Cipralex in Canada where sales declined by 74% to DKK 238 million which was compensated for by growth in other products and geographies including emerging markets. International Markets constituted 26% of total revenue in 2015 compared to 31% in the same period last year.
Revenue in the fourth quarter was DKK 854 million, corresponding to a decrease of 7% in both local currencies and reported. In the quarter International Markets constituted 23% of total revenue representing a decrease compared to 28% in the same period in 2014.

Azilect continues to show growth in Thailand, South Korea, Hong Kong and Australia, and revenue increased in the fourth quarter by 60%.
Brintellix reached DKK 40 million for the quarter. The product has been launched in several countries such as Australia (private market), Canada, South Africa, Chile and Mexico and in general the uptake is encouraging. In October 2015, the Brazilian authorities approved Brintellix with cognition mentioned in the label.

Furthermore, the product has been granted 1st line reimbursement in broad depression/MDD (without any restrictions) in South Korea.
Cipralex generated fourth quarter revenue of DKK 376 million. Sales decreased by 27% reported, or 28% in local currencies, compared to the previous year, due to generic competition primarily in Canada and Latin America. Cipralex continued to grow in most Asian markets.
Ebixa generated fourth quarter revenue of DKK 128 million representing an increase of 43% and 33% in local currencies.
Other pharmaceuticals generated revenue of DKK 242 million during the quarter, a decrease of 13% compared to the same quarter the year before.

included in Other pharmaceuticals. The product reached DKK 53 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to DKK 63 million in the same period previous year. For 2015, Treanda reached DKK 206 million.
Expenses and income
As of January 2015, Lundbeck has reclassified certain costs, which were previously recognized in administrative expenses, to sales and distribution costs and to research and development costs. The reclassification is to align Lundbeck with comparable peers within the industry. Comparative figures below have been restated.
Total costs for 2015 was DKK 21,410 million compared to DKK 13,369 million for the same period last year. The increase in total costs can primarily be ascribed to the impairment of certain product rights, and provisions and impairments relating to the restructuring programme.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, total costs amounted to DKK 4,165 million, which is an increase of 2% compared to the same quarter last year.
Distribution of costs
| DKK million | Q4 2015 | Q4 2014 | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost of sales | 1,271 | 1,167 | 9% |
| Sales and distribution | 1,710 | 1,547 | 10% |
| Administration | 234 | 345 | (32%) |
| Research and development | 950 | 1,026 | (7%) |
| Total costs | 4,165 | 4,085 | 2% |
| FY 2015 | FY 2014 | Growth | |
| --- | --- | --- | |
| 5,395 | 4,160 | 30% | |
| 6,706 | 5,164 | 30% | |
| 1,160 | 1,134 | 2% | |
| 8,149 | 2,911 | 180% | |
| 21,410 | 13,369 | 60% |
Cost of sales increased 9% to DKK 1,271 million in the quarter. This corresponds to 34% of Lundbeck's total revenue, a slight decrease from 36% in the same quarter previous year. This is mainly driven by change in product mix.
Sales and distribution costs were DKK 1,710 million, corresponding to 46% of revenue and an increase of 10% compared to fourth quarter the year before primarily driven by launch costs for Rexulti and the reclassification of costs from administrative expenses to sales and distribution costs. For the full year, sales and distribution costs are also impacted by full year impact of launch costs for Northera.
Administrative expenses were DKK 234 million corresponding to 6% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2015. The 32% decline in administration costs can be attributed to the execution on cost initiatives combined with high implementation costs for the setup of the Business Service Centre in Kraków in 2014.
SG&A costs were DKK 1,944 million compared to DKK 1,892 million in the same period previous year. The SG&A ratio for the period was 52%, compared to 58% in the same period the year before.
Research and development costs were DKK 950 million (25% of revenue) including additional impairments of DKK 201 million. Research and development costs in the fourth quarter 2014 of DKK 1,026 million included a write-down of desmoteplase of DKK 309 million.

Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges
Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges, which are included in the individual expense categories, amounted to DKK 617 million in the fourth quarter compared to DKK 624 million last year.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges
| DKK million | Q4 2015 | Q4 2014 | Growth | FY 2015 | FY 2014 | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost of sales | 357 | 331 | 8% | 1,561 | 985 | 58% |
| Sales and distribution | 22 | 10 | 141% | 101 | 34 | 199% |
| Administration | 8 | 18 | (55%) | 103 | 68 | 51% |
| Research and development | 230 | 265 | (13%) | 5,261 | 366 | 1,335% |
| Total depreciation, amortization and impairment charges | 617 | 624 | (1%) | 7,026 | 1,453 | 383% |
Core EBIT and profit from operations (EBIT)
Core EBIT was positive for the fourth quarter and amounted to DKK 73 million compared with a negative core EBIT of DKK 238 million for the same quarter in 2014. The increase is driven by strong sales especially in the US, more than offsetting the loss in revenue due to generic erosion on mature products, and benefits from the ongoing restructuring programme. Reported EBIT for the fourth quarter of 2015 amounted to a loss of DKK 432 million, compared to a loss of DKK 838 million in the same quarter in 2014.
Net financials
Lundbeck generated a net financial expense of DKK 98 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a net financial expense of DKK 31 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net interest income, including realized and unrealized gains and losses on the bond portfolio, amounted to a net expense of DKK 27 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a net expense of DKK 24 million in the same period in 2014.
Net exchange amounted to a loss of DKK 34 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a loss of DKK 6 million in the fourth quarter last year. The main reason being increased revaluation on balances in USD and GBP.
Other financial income amounted to a loss of DKK 37 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a loss of DKK 1 million in the same period in 2014. The increased financial expenses relate to prolonged impairment losses of available-for-sale financial assets amounting to DKK 33 million.
Tax
The effective tax for 2015 is a gain of 18.7% due to the deficit caused by the restructuring programme. The tax rate reflects a lower benefit of the negative result compared to the Danish corporate income tax rate, due to:
- Amortization of Northera product rights, which is not deductible for tax purposes and thus creates a permanent difference
- Lundbeck's increased activity in the US results in an increased profit in the US taxed at a higher tax rate in the US, than the Danish tax rate

Net profit/(loss) and EPS for the period
Reported loss for 2015 was DKK 5,694 million, compared to a loss of DKK 153 million in 2014. In the fourth quarter net loss amounted to DKK 448 million compared to a net loss of DKK 633 million for 2014.
The reported loss in the fourth quarter 2015 corresponds to a negative EPS of DKK 2.27 per share versus a negative EPS of DKK 3.22 per share for the same period the year before. Core EPS was negative at DKK 0.18 per share for the fourth quarter in 2015, compared to a negative core EPS of DKK 1.06 per share in the same quarter in 2014.
Hedging
Lundbeck hedges expected income from its products through currency hedging on a rolling basis, up to 12 months in advance. As a result of Lundbeck's currency hedging policy, foreign exchange gains and losses on hedging transactions are allocated directly to the hedged transaction. Hedging had a negative impact on profit of DKK 29 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with a situation where the income is not hedged and included at the current exchange rates during the period. The effect was a DKK 25 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Cash flow
Lundbeck had a positive cash flow from operating and investing activities of DKK 655 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to a cash flow from operating and investing activities of DKK 361 million in the same period last year.

Balance sheet
As of 31 December 2015, Lundbeck had total assets of DKK 21,325 million, compared to DKK 25,637 million at the end of 2014. The significant decline in total assets is mainly due to the impairment of certain product rights primarily related to Rexulti.
As of 31 December 2015, Lundbeck's equity amounted to DKK 8,785 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 41.2% compared to 52.8% at the end of 2014.
Lundbeck's development portfolio
Lundbeck is developing a number of new and promising pharmaceuticals for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders, such as depression, anxiety and other psychiatric and neurological disorders. Pipeline development is summarized as follows:
Approved or under regulatory review
In February 2016 Lundbeck and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company announced that the FDA Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee (PDAC) voted 8 to 2 that the companies presented substantial evidence to support the effectiveness of Brintellix for treating certain aspects of cognitive dysfunction in adults with Major Depressive Disorder. The FDA is expected to make a decision by 28 March 2016. The FDA is not bound by the committee's guidance.
Clinical phase III
In August 2012, Lundbeck and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals initiated a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT01567527) to assess the time to recurrence of any mood episode in individuals with bipolar I disorder who have maintained stability on Abilify Maintena for at least 8 weeks. The study is expected to recruit approximately 650 patients in the US, Canada, EU and Asia and is expected to be finalized by mid-2016.
In April 2015, our partner Takeda started a new clinical phase III study (NCT02389816) with Brintellix in Japanese individuals. The study is planned to recruit 480 patients who will receive Brintellix (10 or 20 mg) or placebo. The study is expected to be finalized in 2018.
In December 2014, Lundbeck and Takeda initiated a clinical phase II study (NCT02327013) with the purpose to determine the effect of Brintellix treatment on ADHD symptoms in adult patients with ADHD in a 12 week study. The study is expected to recruit approximately 225 patients and is expected to be finalized during the second half of 2016.
In the second half of 2013, Lundbeck and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals initiated two pivotal studies with Rexulti (brexpiprazole) in individuals with agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. The two studies are expected to recruit around 420 and 230 patients respectively (NCT01862640, NCT01922258). Enrolment of patients has progressed as planned, and the studies are expected to finalize in the second half of 2017. FDA has granted fast-track designation for this programme.
In October 2013, Lundbeck and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals initiated the phase III programme in idalopirdine in order to explore the effect of the compound in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease as adjunctive therapy to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs). The key endpoints are Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale -
Corporate Release No 577/2016
FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY TO 31 DECEMBER 2015
Page 16
Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and the Clinical Global Impression of Change Scale (CGIC). The programme will enrol approximately 2,500 patients worldwide and recruitment is on track in order to finalize the programme in the first quarter of 2017.
For Selincro (nalmefene), which has been launched in Europe for alcohol dependence, a clinical phase III study (NCT02364947) was initiated in Japan in December 2014. The study is run by Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and is expected to recruit some 660 patients. Additionally, a long-term open label study has been initiated in Japan.
The clinical phase III programme on Lu AF35700 is planned to start during the first quarter of 2016 in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The first study is expected to include approximately 650 patients. Several phase I studies have been conducted, including a multiple-dose study in patients. Lu AF35700 has a novel and unique pharmacological profile with high D₁ and 5-HT₆ receptor affinity in combination with low D₂ receptor affinity. The compound represents a potential new option for patients not responding on high D₂ blocking antipsychotics. In completed safety trials, Lu AF35700 was generally safe and well tolerated with less mood and mentation related side effects due to low D₂ blockade.

Incentive programmes in the Lundbeck Group
Lundbeck operates long-term incentive programmes for Executive Management and key employees in Denmark and abroad. To fund the shares granted under the 2012 programme, Lundbeck purchased 177,364 shares at a value of DKK 22 million in the first quarter of 2015.
2015 grant
In December 2015, Lundbeck established a restricted share unit (RSU) programme. 129 key employees were granted 130,777 RSUs. All of the RSUs will vest in 2018, three years after grant, subject to the financial targets for vesting being achieved and subject to continuing employment with the Lundbeck Group. Key employees in the US subsidiaries were granted restricted cash units (RCU) on terms and conditions similar to those that apply to the RSU programme. The market values of the RSUs and the RCUs are calculated using the Black-Scholes method and is based on a volatility of 31.44%, a dividend yield of 2.00%, a risk free interest rate of 0.50%, a vesting period of three years and a share price of DKK 215.32. The total value of the programmes at the time of grant was DKK 28 million.
Purchase of shares to fund long-term incentive programmes
To fund Lundbeck's long-term incentive scheme granted to Executive Management and key employees in Denmark and abroad in 2013, Lundbeck will purchase 377,695 shares in compliance with the Danish Securities Trading Act, the Danish Companies Act, the Danish Financial Statements Act, the NASDAQ Copenhagen rules and Lundbeck's internal rules on trading with shares in Lundbeck. The number of shares to be purchased currently corresponds to less than 0.2% of the share capital. The purchase will be made after the announcement of the first quarter results for 2016 in order to mirror the final number of shares needed.
The shares to be transferred in 2017 to fund the 2014 programme correspond to 200,643 shares, which is equivalent to approximately DKK 47 million at year-end share price. The shares are expected to be purchased after the announcement of the first quarter results for 2017.
Lundbeck has decided to bring forward the purchase of shares to cover the obligation with regard to the new RSU programme granted to key employees in Denmark and abroad in December 2015. Lundbeck will purchase 130,777 shares, which at year-end share price of DKK 235.40 is equivalent to approximately DKK 31 million. The number of shares to be purchased corresponds to less than 0.1% of Lundbeck's share capital.
The shares will be purchased following the announcement of the annual report for 2015 and in compliance with the Danish Securities Trading Act, the Danish Companies Act, the Danish Financial Statements Act, the NASDAQ Copenhagen rules and Lundbeck's internal rules on trading with shares in Lundbeck.
Considering the relatively small amount of shares concerned, the purchase will be carried out as a share buy-back outside of the EU Commission Regulation on share buy-back. Notwithstanding this, to secure market integrity the purchase is subject to the following rules:
- The purchase will be carried out by a bank (lead manager) on an arm's-length basis and independently of Lundbeck,
- The bank must not purchase shares at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the time of the purchase,
- The bank must not purchase more than 20% of the daily volume of the shares on NASDAQ Copenhagen on the day the purchase is carried out.
