Annual General Meeting 2010

Report of the Supervisory Board

Item 5: Approval of the Remuneration Scheme of Members of the Board of Management

Ongoing discussion about the appropriateness of the remuneration of Management Boards

Reaction of legislative body: Executive Compensation Act (VorstAG) (enacted in 08/2009)

  • Remuneration now aims at a stronger alignment of the companies' compensation system towards the realization of long-term sustainable corporate success
  • The shareholders' plenum might cast a non-committal vote about the compensation system for Executive Board members during the Annual General Meeting

Adjustments of the Remuneration Scheme as of July 1, 2010

  • Extension of the vesting-period for convertible bonds to 4 years
  • Adjustment of the D&O-insurance: 10% deductible per incident (up to max. 1,5 x annual base salary) for Executive Board members, corresponding adjustment of deductible for members of the Supervisory Board
  • In case of a deterioration of the Company's performance the Supervisory Board might reduce bonus/compensation of Executive Board to an appropriate amount

Aim:

Ideal liaison between economic success of MorphoSys and shareholders' interests

Planned Remuneration Scheme

  • The Executive Board's activities have to be aligned with the major corporate targets of MorphoSys and therefore with a long-term positive company development
  • Long-term incentive components of the compensation in
  • accordance with the requirements of the VorstAG are being adjusted together with an external remuneration expert
  • Special attention is paid to the sustainability of variable compensation components

Appropriateness of the Compensation of the Supervisory Board

Corporate Governance Code provides for a performance-related remuneration of Supervisory Board members, but:

Increasing number of remuneration experts is of another opinion:

  • Performance-related remuneration of the Supervisory Board carries the inherent danger of colliding interests
  • Control and monitoring function must not be influenced by the economic situation of the company

MorphoSys agrees with the experts' opinion:

  • Compensation of the Supervisory Board will comprise only fixed components
  • Increase of the fixed remuneration due to the discontinuation of performance-related components
  • Level of fixed compensation is also appropriate when compared to competitors
