Letter to the Shareholders

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Shareholders,

In 2020, with the accelerated U.S. approval and launch of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix), we became an integrated commercial biopharmaceutical company. Building on this achievement, in 2021 we made significant steps towards our ambition of becoming a leader in the hematology/oncology space. We continue to make progress with the Monjuvi launch, and 2021 has been the first full year as a commercial enterprise. We have seen encouraging sales growth over the past quarters and approximately 2,000 patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have been treated with our immunotherapy in the U.S. since the approval in 2020.

In 2021 we made an important strategic move with the acquisition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals which added pelabresib to our late stage pipeline. Pelabresib, like tafasitamab, has the potential to change how cancer patients are treated.

2021 also reflected the ongoing challenges we faced with the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the incredible achievements in medicine, the disease continues to affect us all on both a personal and business level.

We are just at the beginning of the opportunity with Monjuvi®

Monjuvi received accelerated approval in July 2020 in the U.S. for adult patients with r/r DLBCL and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant. DLBCL is an aggressive disease and the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) worldwide. Monjuvi is the first and only FDA-approved second-line treatment for non-transplant eligible patients, and we believe this cancer immunotherapy has the potential to transform the standard of care in DLBCL.

The adoption of new treatment regimens, especially in DLBCL, can take time. While the pandemic restricted our ability to meet with doctors in

person for the majority of the first half of 2021, the gradual opening up of facilities and continued education about the benefits of Monjuvi in the second half led to a broadening of the prescriber base and increased treatments of second-line patients.

During the year, we presented compelling new data for Monjuvi: The three-year long-term data from the L-MIND study not only showed a durable response and consistent safety profile, but also suggested that the combination with lenalidomide could potentially lead to durable remission. We also presented real-world evidence at a medical conference comparing the tafasitamab-lenalidomide combination with other treatments currently used for relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

The tafasitamab opportunity has broad potential applicability in NHL. Looking beyond the U.S. market, we were delighted to announce with our partner, Incyte, conditional approvals in 2021 in the European Union and Canada. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights to tafasitamab outside the United States.

We also made important progress in potentially broadening the indications for tafasitamab. In the spring, we initiated a pivotal phase 3 trial, called frontMIND, in first-line DLBCL. We started this trial based on encouraging early-stage data in DLBCL patients previously untreated for their disease, and the trial is already enrolling with significant interest from the medical community. With our partner Incyte, we initiated a phase 3 trial in other types of NHL: In April, we dosed the first patient in the inMIND study, evaluating tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in patients with r/r follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL).

Acquisition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals represents transformational growth opportunity

An important part of our growth strategy has been to expand our late-stage clinical pipeline, especially in our focus area of hematology/ oncology. The Constellation acquisition bolstered our position in hematology/oncology, supporting our aspiration to become a leader in this space. It added another phase 3 product candidate, pelabresib, to our pipeline that is currently being evaluated in combination with ruxolitinib, the current standard of care, in patients with myelofibrosis. Our vision here is to change the standard of care. With the acquisition also came a promising mid-stage oncology clinical program, CPI-0209, an EZH2 inhibitor.

"In 2021 we took bold moves towards realizing our longterm goal of becoming not just a player but a leader in the hematology/oncology space."

Jean-Paul Kress, M.D., Chief Executive Officer

To fund this acquisition, we entered into a funding agreement with Royalty Pharma that could potentially provide more than US\$ 2 billion of capital. We understand there are questions about the rationale of monetizing royalty streams in order to finance the development of clinical programs. We did this because of the high conviction we have in pelabresib, the lead product candidate of Constellation. Moreover, we fundamentally believe we can create greater long-term shareholder value by focusing on our proprietary drug development and commercialization.

Our vision for pelabresib is to change the treatment paradigm for myelofibrosis

A major growth driver over the intermediate and long-term is pelabresib which we believe could have the potential to change the standard of care in myelofibrosis. It is currently being evaluated in a pivotal phase 3 clinical trial (MANIFEST-2) to treat myelofibrosis – a type of bone marrow cancer for which there is no cure and treatment options are limited. The latest interim data from the MANIFEST phase 2 trial were presented in late 2021 at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting. These data underpin our strong conviction in pelabresib and in the ongoing phase 3 trial where we have applied our clinical development expertise to optimize the trial design. We expect the data to readout in the first half of 2024 and we are continuing our efforts to ensure operational excellence.

Growing the clinical pipeline behind our lead programs

Beyond tafasitamab and pelabresib, we are building an attractive and robust pipeline. We acquired CPI-0209 through the acquisition of Constellation. CPI-0209 is a small molecule designed to promote antitumor activity by specifically inhibiting EZH2. We believe that targeting EZH2 has the potential for a broad therapeutic application in a variety of tumor types. CPI-0209 is currently being assessed in a phase 2 study, and we expect to report proof-of-concept data in 2022.

Felzartamab is a CD38 targeting antibody that has the potential to deplete CD38 positive plasma cells. The clinical development of felzartamab in two autoimmune diseases affecting the kidneys – membranous nephropathy and immunoglobulin A nephropathy is progressing. The enrollment for the studies in membranous nephropathy has been completed and topline data are expected in the second half of 2022.

We thank you for helping MorphoSys to achieve our ambitious goals and build a bright future

MorphoSys is entering an exciting, new era. We took bold steps this year to strengthen our position for future success. We are very well positioned to develop and deliver innovative cancer medicines that could have a profound impact on the lives of cancer patients and drive growth in the years ahead.

We are proud of our accomplishments this year and remain highly focused on successfully delivering and executing our strategy. I am truly excited about what lies ahead for our Company.

I would like to thank everyone who has played an important role in helping us bring life-saving therapies to patients. Thank you to our employees for their hard work, dedication and flexibility during a time of uncertainty and change. Thank you to the clinicians, patients and their loved ones who participate in our clinical trials. And thank you to our shareholders who believe in our Company and our ability to achieve our goals.

We look forward to continuing to make progress in the year ahead and making a difference for people with cancer.

Sincerely,

Jean-Paul Kress, M.D. Chief Executive Officer

Report of the Supervisory Board

Cooperation of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

Report of the Supervisory Board

During the 2021 financial year, the Supervisory Board comprehensively performed the duties assigned to it by law, the Articles of Association, Rules of Procedure and the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code in its version dated December 16, 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the "Code") with two justified exceptions. We regularly advised and continually oversaw the Management Board in its management of the Company and dealt extensively with the operational and strategic development of the Group. The Management Board fulfilled its duty to inform and furnish us with periodic written and verbal reports containing timely and detailed information on all business transactions and events of significant relevance to the Company. The Management Board prepared these reports in collaboration with the respective departments. In our Committee meetings and plenary sessions, we had the opportunity to discuss the Management Board's reports and the proposed resolutions in full. The Management Board answered our questions on strategic topics affecting the Company with a great level of detail and submitted the relevant documents in a timely manner. Any deviations from the business plan were thoroughly explained to us and we were directly involved at an early stage in all decisions relevant to the Company.

An appropriate resolution was passed when the Supervisory Board's approval for individual actions was required by law, the Articles of Association or the Rules of Procedure. The Supervisory Board members approved all actions by the Management Board requiring Supervisory Board approval based on the documentation provided in advance by the Management Board. When necessary, the Supervisory Board received the support of the relevant Committees and, together with the Management Board, discussed any projects requiring decision. All matters requiring approval were submitted for review by the Management Board to the Supervisory Board on a timely basis.

Outside of the meetings of the Supervisory Board plenum and the Committees, the chairman of the Supervisory Board regularly exchanged information and ideas with the Management Board and especially the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Jean-Paul Kress. The Supervisory Board chairman was always kept promptly informed of the current business situation and any significant business transactions. The Chairs of the Committees have also had regular contact with the Management Board members in their respective areas of responsibility and individual Management Board members on demand.

Supervisory Board Meetings in the 2021 Financial Year and Key Items of Discussion

A total of 11 Supervisory Board meetings were held in the 2021 financial year. The Supervisory Board regularly held closed sessions without participation of the Management Board as part of their Supervisory Board meetings. All Supervisory Board members were present at all Supervisory Board meetings. A detailed overview of the participation of all Supervisory Board members in the respective Supervisory Board and Committee meetings can be found in the "Statement on Corporate Governance," which is available on the Company's website under the heading "Investors > Corporate Governance > Statement on Corporate Governance," and in the Annual Report on pages 90 to 91. In urgent cases occurring outside of meetings, the Supervisory Board passed resolutions by written procedure.

In addition to the above, a one-day strategy meeting took place in November 2021 that primarily addressed:

• the Company's corporate strategy & financial outlook;
• the development strategy for the clinical and pre-clinical assets of the MorphoSys Group;

• budget for the 2022 financial year.

We commissioned an independent remuneration consultant to confirm the appropriateness of the Management Board's compensation and its comparison to the remuneration of various levels of employees. We discussed and agreed on the key performance indicators for the long-term incentive plans for the Management Board and other employees in key positions. Further, we approved the new remuneration system for the members of the Management Board, which is in line with the new provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and the Code, and which was submitted for approval to the 2021 Annual General Meeting. In addition, we developed a new remuneration system which shall be submitted for approval to the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

Furthermore, we approved the financial statements for the financial year 2020, acknowledged the half-year results for 2021 and the first and third quarter reports as well as dealt with the Statement on Corporate Governance and the Corporate Governance Report.

Our regular discussions in the Supervisory Board's plenary meetings were focused on MorphoSys' long-term strategy, Monjuvi® sales performance, revenue and cash development as well as the regular financial reports including the communication to the investor community and share price development. Further focal points of discussion were results and progress of the Company's clinical programs for the development of proprietary drugs and research activities as well as the acquisition and subsequent integration of Constellation Pharmaceuticals, which included a review of the combined research and development portfolio and future organizational R&D set-up. Furthermore, we reviewed the financial outlook for the 2023/2024 financial years and deliberated on MorphoSys' associated future potential financing needs. In addition, we carried out an evaluation on how effective the Supervisory Board and its committees fulfill their tasks, which was performed via a questionnaire that included a joint self-evaluation of the Supervisory Board, its Committees and also the Management Board. Furthermore, we kept ourselves regularly informed with respect to the Company's risk management system, internal audit results as well as the internal control and compliance management system.

Conflicts of Interest within the Supervisory Board

No conflicts of interest arose within the Supervisory Board in the 2021 financial year.

Activities and Meetings of Supervisory Board Committees

To ensure that its duties are performed efficiently, the Supervisory Board has established three permanent committees – the Audit Committee, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Science and Technology Committee – to prepare the issues that fall within the Supervisory Board's respective areas of responsibility for the Supervisory Board plenum. In each Supervisory Board meeting, the chairs of the Committees report to the Supervisory Board on the Committees' work. The minutes of the Committee meetings are made available to all Supervisory Board members. The composition of these committees can be found in the "Statement on Corporate Governance," which is available on the Company's website under the heading "Investors > Corporate Governance > Statement on Corporate Governance," and in the Annual Report on pages 87 to 92.

The Audit Committee met on 5 occasions in the 2021 financial year. All Committee members were present at all Audit Committee meetings. The Committee dealt mainly with accounting issues, quarterly reports, annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements. The Committee discussed these topics with the Management Board and recommended the approval of the financial statements to the Supervisory Board. The auditor took part in four Audit Committee meetings and informed its members of the audit results. Based on the Auditors Reform Act and the requirements for the external and internal rotation of the auditor, the Audit Committee had carried out in 2020 a public tender for the 2021 annual audit and half-year review. As a result, the Audit Committee made a recommendation to the Supervisory Board with respect to the Supervisory Board's proposal at the Annual General Meeting for the election of the independent auditor for the 2021 financial year. In addition, the Audit Committee dealt with the annual update of a list of permitted and pre-approved non-audit services of the auditor. The Committee also discussed the risk management system, the compliance management system and the results of the internal audit conducted in the 2021 financial year, as well as specific accounting issues under International

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) relevant to the Company. Furthermore, the Committee regularly discussed the Company's asset management policy and the investment recommendations made by the Management Board. The Committee also discussed in depth the 2022 budget and the financial outlook for the 2023/2024 financial years. Furthermore, the Committee monitored the further development and adaptation to new processes and transactions of the system of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICoFR) to ensure continuous SOX compliance by end of 2021.

To increase efficiency, there is a joint Remuneration and Nomination Committee, which deliberates on matters relating to remuneration and nomination. The Committee met on 8 occasions in the 2021 financial year. All Committee members participated at all Committee meetings. In its function as a remuneration committee, the Committee mainly dealt with the Management Board's remuneration system and level of compensation. In particular, the Committee dealt with the implementation of a new remuneration system 2021 for the members of the Management Board, which was submitted to the 2021 Annual General Meeting for approval. In addition, the Committee developed a new remuneration system 2022 for the members of the Management Board, which shall be submitted to the 2022 Annual General Meeting for approval, and dealt with the preparation of the 2021 remuneration report. Further, the Committee also commissioned an independent remuneration expert to verify the (horizontal and vertical) appropriateness of the Management Board's remuneration. Based on this report, the Committee prepared a recommendation on the Management Board's compensation and submitted this to the Supervisory Board for approval. In addition, the Committee gave careful consideration to the Company goals as a basis for the Management Board's short-term variable remuneration and offered appropriate recommendations to the Supervisory Board for resolution. The Committee discussed the key performance indicators of the longterm incentive plans for the Management Board and other employees in key positions. Further, this Committee prepared the release agreement with the Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Roland Wandeler. In addition, this Committee dealt with succession planning within the Company, in particular as regards the succession of the departed Management Board member Jens Holstein. In this context, the Committee recommended the appointment and prepared the respective Management Board contract of Sung Lee as the new Chief Financial Officer, who has been appointed as member of the Management Board by the Supervisory Board.

The Science and Technology Committee was held on 6 occasions during the 2021 financial year. All Committee members participated in all Committee meetings. The Committee dealt mainly with the Company's research activities as well as overall strategy to expand the proprietary drug pipeline, the development of novel technologies, the Company's drug development plans and future development strategy, progress in the clinical trials as well as required budget resources. One major focus was the acquisition and integration of Constellation Pharmaceuticals, including the overall strategy and opportunity related to the expansion of the research pipeline and the development in myelofibrosis, the development of the BET Inhibitor pelabresib, as well as the second generation EZH2 Inhibitor (CPI-0209). The Committee further deliberated about the future research organizational set-up. Moreover, the development of tafasitamab with its expansion into other indications and lines of therapy, in combination with established or novel anti-cancer agents, was examined. The Committee also evaluated the execution of the frontMIND and firstMIND studies to complement the forementioned development. Additionally, the Committee also addressed and reviewed the further development of felzartamab in autoimmune diseases.

The members of the Science and Technology Committee also serve as members of the ad-hoc deal committee, which meets in this function when necessary and which dealt with the acquisition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. during the financial year 2021.

Corporate Governance

The Supervisory Board devoted its attention to the further development of MorphoSys' corporate governance, taking into consideration the Code. The Corporate Governance Statement according to Section 289f HGB (German Commercial Code), including the detailed Corporate Governance Report, and the Group Statement on Corporate Governance according to Section 315d HGB, can be found on the Company's website under the heading "Investors > Corporate Governance > Corporate Governance Report" and in the Annual Report on pages 85 to 104.

We also discussed with the Management Board the Company's compliance with the Code's recommendations and in two justified cases approved an exception to the recommendations of the Code. Based on this consultation, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board submitted the annual Declaration of Conformity on November 29, 2021. The current version of the Declaration of Conformity can be found in this Annual Report and is permanently available on the Company's website under the heading "Investors > Corporate Governance > Declaration of Conformity."

Changes in the Composition of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

By decision of the Supervisory Board on January 18, 2021, Sung Lee was appointed as Chief Financial Officer for a term of three years from February 2, 2021, until January 31, 2024. Further, the Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Roland Wandeler, resigned as member of the Management Board and COO in November 2021 with effect as of December 31, 2021. No further changes in the composition of the Management Board took place during the 2021 financial year.

No changes in the composition of the Supervisory Board took place during the 2021 financial year.

Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and Consolidated Financial Statements

For the 2021 financial year, the Company commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich ("PwC") as its auditor. The audit contract was awarded by the Supervisory Board in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2021. The Supervisory Board obtained a declaration of independence from the auditor in advance.

The consolidated financial statements and the annual financial statements of MorphoSys AG, as well as the Group Management Report and the Management Report for the 2021 financial year, were properly audited by PwC and issued with an unqualified audit opinion. The key topics of the audit for the consolidated and annual financial statements for the 2021 financial year were management override of controls and fraud in revenue recognition, the risk of fraud in revenue recognition due to potential fictitious manual adjustments to revenue, the gross-to net accounting related to Monjuvi®, sales, the subsequent valuation of the financial liability from collaborations, the valuation of the financial liabilities arising from the agreements with Royalty Pharma, the tax treatment of the Royalty Pharma agreements, the purchase price allocation for the business combination with Constellation Pharmaceuticals, the goodwill impairment test related to Constellation Pharmaceuticals and for statutory purposes the valuation of the investment in MorphoSys US Inc., as well as the assessment of the design and effectiveness of internal controls in accordance with SOX404. In addition, the auditor confirmed that the Management Board had established an appropriate early risk detection system.

The audit reports and documents relating to the consolidated financial statements and the annual financial statements were provided on a timely basis to all Supervisory Board members for review. The audit report, the consolidated financial statements, the Group Management Report of the MorphoSys Group and the audit report, the annual financial statements and the Management Report of MorphoSys AG were discussed in detail at the Audit Committee meeting on March 14, 2022, and the meeting of the Supervisory Board on March 15, 2022. The auditor attended all meetings concerning the consolidated and annual financial statements, the half-year report and quarterly interim statements and reported on the key results of his audit and review, respectively. The auditor also explained the scope and focus of the audit and review and was available to the Audit Committee and the Supervisory Board to answer questions and provide further information.

The Audit Committee discussed the audit results in detail and recommended to the Supervisory Board that it approves the consolidated and annual financial statements prepared by the Management Board. The Supervisory Board also took note of the audit results and, in turn, reviewed the consolidated and annual financial statements and Management Reports in accordance with the statutory provisions. Following its own examination, the Supervisory Board also determined that it sees no cause for objection. The consolidated and annual financial statements as well as the Group Management Report and the Management Report as prepared by the Management Board and audited by the auditor, were subsequently approved by the Supervisory Board. Thus, the annual financial statements were adopted.

The Company has to prepare a remuneration report in accordance with Sec. 162 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and a separate non-financial report for the fiscal year 2021. The Supervisory Board has commissioned PwC with a voluntary material review of the remuneration report and to review the separate non-financial report by way of a review with limited assurance. All members of the Supervisory Board received the remuneration report and the separate non-financial report and the independent auditor's report on the audit in a timely manner. PwC's report and the audit opinion were discussed at the Supervisory Board's plenary meeting on March 15, 2022. PwC's auditor participated in this discussion and presented the audit results. The Supervisory Board took note of the results of the audit with approval.

Recognition for Dedicated Service

On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank the members of the Management Board and the employees of MorphoSys for their achievements, their dedicated service and the inspirational work environment witnessed during this past financial year. Through their efforts, MorphoSys' portfolio has continued to mature and expand, and important milestones have been achieved.

The Supervisory Board would also like to thank the departed Management Board member Dr. Roland Wandeler for his contributions to the Executive Committee, the launch of Monjuvi® and the establishment of our commercial operations.

Index Memberships, Stock Market Environment and MorphoSys Share Performance

MorphoSys AG shares have been trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 1999. In 2018, MorphoSys issued American Depositary Shares (ADSs*) on the U.S. NASDAQ exchange based on MorphoSys' common stock. The Company's ticker symbol is "MOR" on both exchanges.

MorphoSys AG is part of the SDAX index (since September 2021, before MDAX) and of the TecDAX index. MorphoSys is also a component of the NASDAQ Composite Index through its ADS program and is included in various other indices, such as the NASDAQ Health Care Index, the Loncar Cancer Immunotherapy Index and the S-Network Medical Breakthrough Index.

In 2021 the biotech sector underperformed compared to the overall markets. The overall negative sentiment, according to BioCentury, was driven by several factors. Generalist investors fled life sciences for sectors that would benefit from an economic recovery, such as consumer-heavy cyclicals. Also, while in 2020, COVID-19 vaccines lifted the sector as a whole, only a few selected companies benefited in 2021. Indeed, BioCentury's analysis of NASDAQ-listed biotech found that at year-end 2021, nearly onethird of the 816 companies with a market cap above US\$ 25 million were within 10% of their 52-week low, while almost twothirds were within 25%. In contrast, only 7% of companies were within 10% of their 52-week high.

MorphoSys' shares opened the 2021 trading year on Xetra at € 93.82 and closed the year at € 33.35. While the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index had a negative return in 2021 and closed the year about 1% lower than at the beginning of the year, the decline of the MorphoSys' share price in 2021 was much steeper. During the year, MorphoSys made a bold strategic move to set the Company up for long-term value creation, the results of which we expect to play out in the next few years.

With the acquisition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Constellation"), we expanded the pipeline with two clinical-stage cancer drug candidates. This acquisition was financed through an agreement with Royalty Pharma. We are now well positioned to deliver on our ambition to become a leader in hematology/oncology with multiple commercial products by 2025 and to create long-term shareholder value. We have all the pieces including a compelling pipeline, development and commercial expertise and a strong balance sheet to execute on our strategic priorities. ›› see figure 01 – Performance of the MorphoSys Share in 2021 (page 26) ›› see figure 02 – Performance of the MorphoSys Share 2017–2021 (page 26)

Liquidity

The average daily trading volume of the MorphoSys share across all regulated trading platforms decreased to € 27.5 million in 2021 (previous year: € 33.5 million), corresponding to a year-onyear decrease of 18%. For the TecDAX and SDAX selection indices, trading volumes were down year-on-year by 11% and 14%, respectively. In the TecDAX, MorphoSys ranked 29th in terms of market capitalization* at year-end 2021 (previous year: 13th). In the SDAX Index, MorphoSys ranked 48th in terms of market capitalization at year-end.

* see glossary – page 182

In addition to the trading on the regulated platforms, an average of approximately 258,000 of MorphoSys' shares with a value of approximately € 15.0 million were traded daily on alternative trading venues ("dark pools") in 2021 (2020: 217,000 shares; € 22.4 million). This figure corresponds to a year-on-year decrease in trading outside of the regulated markets of approximately 33%. The MorphoSys ADSs reached a volume of US\$ 1.5 million per trading day in the reporting year (previous year: US\$ 3 million), corresponding to a decrease of approximately 50%.

Capital Structure

The Company's common stock increased to 34,231,943 shares or € 34,231,943 in the reporting year due to the purchase of shares by Royalty Pharma, created from a capital increase, as well as the exercise of stock options granted to the Management Board and certain Company employees in 2017. A detailed description of the capital increase and convertible bond program can be found in Notes 5.20.1* and 6.1.1*.

It is our intention to invest any future profits in the growth and development of our business. Unless otherwise required by law, the future determination of any cash dividends will be at the sole discretion of the Management Board and Supervisory Board and will depend on our net assets, financial position, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors that the Management Board and Supervisory Board deem relevant.

Investor Relations Activities

Since March 2020, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, interactions with shareholders, investors and analysts have been taking place digitally to a much greater extent than before. The impact of this has been particularly evident on investor conferences, whose added value has always been the direct personal exchange with a broad spectrum of market participants and resulting networking. While the pandemic revealed that increasing digitalization saves travel time and costs, it also showed that established processes and contacts needed to adapt even better to the changed digital environment. During the reporting year, MorphoSys participated in 20 international investor conferences and investment banking events. The year 2021 began with the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, where the medical and commercial potential of tafasitamab were presented together with an outlook for the rest of the pipeline. The vast majority of investor conferences in 2021 were held using various virtual formats.

MorphoSys held conference calls in the reporting year with the publication of its annual, half-year and quarterly reports. These calls could be followed over the Internet. During these calls, the Management Board reported on business developments and answered questions from participants.

At the analyst and investor meetings, the main topics addressed were the advances made in Monjuvi®'s commercialization, the further progress of tafasitamab's clinical development, the acquisition of Constellation and, its lead product pelabresib, and cash runway.

On June 2, 2021, MorphoSys hosted a conference call and webcast on the acquisition of Constellation. During the call, management presented the clinical development candidates pelabresib and CPI-0209 and explained their medical and commercial potential in a number of oncology indications.

At the end of 2021, 18 analysts were monitoring and evaluating the performance of MorphoSys shares (previous year: 20). These analysts had the following recommendations at the end of 2021:

02 Analyst Recommendations (December 31, 2021) Buy/Overweight/Market Outperform Hold/Neutral Reduce/Underperform 9 9 0

Buy/Overweight/Market Outperform = buy/positive; Hold/Neutral = neutral; Reduce/Underperform = sell/negative.

Summary

In 2021, MorphoSys continued its work to discover, develop and commercialize, innovative therapies for patients, with a focus on cancer and autoimmune diseases. In July 2021, we completed the acquisition of Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Constellation"). The addition of Constellation offers a transformational growth opportunity for MorphoSys, expanding our pipeline in a meaningful way with two clinical-stage cancer drug candidates. In addition to this major corporate event, we continued to make progress with our existing programs. At the time of the Constellation acquisition, we also entered into a funding agreement with Royalty Pharma plc.

Our lead program, tafasitamab, is already on the market in the U.S. under the brand name Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix). Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix) has been approved under accelerated approval by the U.S. FDA in July 2020. Together with Incyte, we are co-promoting Monjuvi in the U.S. Incyte holds exclusive rights for development and commercialization outside the U.S. In August 2021, the European Commission (EC) granted conditional marketing authorization for Minjuvi® (tafasitamab) in Europe in combination with lenalidomide, followed by Minjuvi monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Also in August 2021, Health Canada granted Incyte a Notice of Compliance with conditions for Minjuvi (tafasitamab) in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from lowgrade lymphoma, who are not eligible for ASCT. In January 2021, a marketing authorization application for tafasitamab was accepted for review by regulatory authorities in Switzerland.

To further broaden the tafasitamab opportunity, during 2021, MorphoSys initiated the frontMIND study, a pivotal phase 3 trial in patients with first-line DLBCL. Also, MorphoSys and Incyte announced the first patient dosed in inMIND, a phase 3 study in patients with r/r follicular lymphoma or r/r marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). In June 2021, MorphoSys and Incyte announced new three-year follow-up data from the phase 2 L-MIND study of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in adult patients with r/r DLBCL. The new results built on previous findings showing durable responses and a consistent safety profile of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide followed by tafasitamab monotherapy. In December 2021, additional results from the RE-MIND2 dataset comparing tafasitamab and lenalidomide outcomes to those observed in matched cohorts of 1) polatuzumab vedotin plus bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR), 2) rituximab plus lenalidomide (R2); and 3) CAR-T therapies were presented. The findings suggested that tafasitamab plus lenalidomide may improve health outcomes compared to pola-BR and R2, with a prolonged survival benefit for r/r DLBCL patients. Comparable overall survival (OS) between tafasitamab and lenalidomide and CAR-T therapies was observed.

Pelabresib is a late-stage proprietary program that MorphoSys acquired through the Constellation acquisition. We are currently conducting two clinical trials of pelabresib for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF): MANIFEST, our ongoing, open-label phase 2 clinical trial evaluating pelabresib both as a monotherapy and in combination with ruxolitinib, and MANIFEST-2, our global, doubleblinded, randomized pivotal phase 3 study evaluating pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib versus placebo in JAK-inhibitornaïve MF patients. Exploratory data from the MANIFEST trial were presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting in June 2021. Translational data across all three

arms of the study illustrated the effect of pelabresib on key cytokines associated with MF and its impact on bone marrow fibrosis. Taken together, these data support our hypothesis that pelabresib may have a potential disease-modifying activity in MF. At the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December 2021, we presented updated interim clinical and translational data from the ongoing MANIFEST trial, which included 54 more patients and longer-term follow-up than previously reported data. We believe that the latest interim data from MANIFEST underscore the potential of pelabresib in the treatment of MF. With respect to MANIFEST-2, MorphoSys has optimized the study design and implemented measures to accelerate patient recruitment since the acquisition of Constellation.

Progress was also made with programs in earlier stages of clinical development. Interim data from the phase 1/2 proof-of-concept M-PLACE trial that evaluates felzartamab in anti-PLA2R antibody positive membranous nephropathy (MN) were presented in November 2021. Early efficacy data were presented: of the 27 treated patients with evaluable results, 24 showed an initial rapid reduction of anti-PLA2R antibody levels one week after the first treatment. The safety profile was shown to be consistent with the proposed mechanism of action of felzartamab. The trial was fully enrolled in November 2021. Two additional trials with felzartamab were initiated during 2021 – New-PLACE, a phase 2 study evaluating different treatment schedules to identify the regimen for a pivotal study in patients with anit-PLA2R-antibody positive MN, and the phase 2 IGNAZ trial evaluating felzartamab in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN).

CPI-0209 is another product candidate acquired through Constellation. CPI-0209 is a small molecule designed to promote antitumor activity by specifically inhibiting the enzymatic function of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) protein. We are currently conducting a phase 1/2 clinical trial of CPI-0209 in patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

Our partners responsible for clinical development of licensed programs also continued their activities during 2021. For example, in June I-Mab announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) had approved the Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate a phase 1b study with felzartamab in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of lupus. In October, licensing partner Roche received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for gantenerumab for the treatment of people living with Alzheimer's disease. Also in October 2021, licensing partner GSK announced that it had made the decision not to further explore otilimab as a potential treatment for severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease in patients aged of 70 years and older. Clinical development of otilimab in rheumatoid arthritis remains ongoing.

In 2021, MorphoSys continued to transform the Company with activities focused on advancing and positioning the Company for long-term success. We grew sales of Monjuvi, while also broadening our pipeline through a transformative acquisition.

Organizational Structure and Business Model

MorphoSys AG, as the ultimate parent company, is located in Planegg, near Munich. MorphoSys AG has one wholly owned subsidiary, MorphoSys US Inc. (Boston, Massachusetts, USA). MorphoSys US Inc. in turn has a wholly owned subsidiary - Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. also has a wholly owned subsidiary, Constellation Securities Corp. (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Constellation Securities Corp. are collectively referred to as "Constellation", and all entities constitute the "MorphoSys Group" or "Group".

Following the acquisition on July 15, 2021, Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. was merged into MorphoSys Development Inc., which was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of MorphoSys US Inc. on May 28, 2021, in accordance with the merger agreement. From this upward merger, Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. remained as a wholly owned subsidiary of MorphoSys US Inc.

The Planegg site MorphoSys AG houses the central corporate functions such as accounting, controlling, human resources, legal, patents, purchasing, corporate communications and investor relations, as well as the scientific research departments and laboratories. MorphoSys US Inc. is responsible for advancing tafasitamab's* commercialization. Constellation focuses its activities on the clinical development of drug candidates and the related administrative departments.

In accordance with the German Stock Corporation Act, the Company has a dual management structure with the Management Board as the governing body. The four members of the Management Board are appointed and supervised by the Supervisory Board. Following the departure of Roland Wandeler, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer, effective December 31, 2021, the Management Board consists of only three members. The Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG is elected by the Annual General Meeting and currently consists of six members. Detailed information on the Group's management and supervision and its corporate governance principles can be found in the Corporate Governance Report.

Targets and Strategy

MorphoSys mission is to discover, develop and commercialize innovative therapies for patients. MorphoSys is a fully integrated commercial biopharmaceutical company. Its activities in 2021 focused on hematology/oncology and autoimmune diseases. The Company aims to realize intermediate- and long-term growth through its focus on proprietary drug development and commercialization. Through the acquisition of Constellation, the Company has rapidly expanded its pipeline in the hematology/oncology area.

Our priority is on the Company's lead development candidates pelabresib and tafasitamab; continuing to make progress with the commercialization of Monjuvi and obtaining approvals in additional indications; bringing pelabresib to the market as well as continuing to develop other clinical candidates.

MorphoSys is now primarily advancing the clinical development of its own compounds, with further antibody candidates being clinically developed by partners. During the clinical phases, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis as to whether and at what point a partnership for further development and commercialization should be pursued. Drug candidates can be either fully out-licensed, developed on a proprietary basis or with a partner (co-development).

The development of drug candidates on behalf of other companies is no longer a focus of MorphoSys' business activities. As such, the previous segment reporting for the Proprietary Development and Partnered Discovery segments was discontinued as of the first quarter of 2021.

The development of drug candidates is broadly based on MorphoSys' innovative technologies. These include our established antibody and technology platforms HuCAL®*, Ylanthia®* and Slonomics®*, as well as the bispecific technology CyCAT®. Under the agreement signed with Cherry Biolabs in November 2020, MorphoSys was granted exclusive access to the Hemibody technology* for several targets*, which will be used to develop a novel multispecific antibody technology for effector cell recruitment (T-cell* engager). We continue to leverage our resources and know-how to expand and develop these technologies. This may include the expansions of our portfolio not only through our own proprietary research and development activities but also through in-licensing and acquisitions.

Group Management and Performance Indicators

MorphoSys uses financial indicators to steer the Group. These indicators help to monitor the success of strategic decisions and give the Group the opportunity to take quick corrective action when necessary. The Company's management also monitors and evaluates selected early indicators so that it can thoroughly assess a project's progress and promptly take the appropriate actions should a problem occur. No most important non-financial performance indicators are used for steering the Company. Material non-financial aspects are taken into account in a separate "Non-Financial Group Report", which is available on our website.

Financial Performance Indicators

The development of the significant financial performance indicators in the reporting year is described in detail in the chapter "Analysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of Operations". The key financial indicators used to measure the Company's operating performance are revenues, operating expenses and percentage of research and development expenses included therein.

Starting 2022, Monjuvi U.S. net product sales, the gross margin of Monjuvi U.S. net product sales, Research and Development expenses, as well as total combined expenses for Selling and General & Administrative will be used as key financial performance indicators, since these indicators are the most significant for steering MorphoSys Group. These indicators are routinely analyzed and evaluated.

As an additional factor, the liquidity position (presented in the following balance sheet items: "Cash and cash equivalents" as well as "Other financial assets (current and non-current)" is also regularly analyzed and evaluated. Liquidity position is not considered to be part of the key financial performance indicators.

The budget for the respective financial year is approved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board. Subsequent to the approval of the budget, a forecast is made two times within the year to assess if the Company is on track to achieve its financial goals and progress towards financial guidance. The forecast informs decision-making and enables management to take actions to achieve its goals.

Non-Financial Aspects

With its own marketed drug in the U.S., MorphoSys has completed its transformation from a technology provider to a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company. The Company's core mission has not changed in this process: We strive to develop new drugs for the well-being of patients with serious diseases. To ensure sustainable business success in this endeavor, we take selected non-financial aspects into account in addition to financial performance indicators.

At MorphoSys, innovation in research and development remains a central aspect. Our research and development strategy focuses on indications with high unmet medical need, where patients' lives depend on new treatment options. Our goal is to improve the lives of these patients by focusing on therapeutic areas that best fit our expertise while making optimal use of our resources.

The acquisition of Constellation in July 2021 represents a significant investment in the development of new drugs for patients with limited treatment options in the field of hematology/oncology. In 2021, MorphoSys remained committed to supporting patients throughout their treatment journeys and removing access barriers for patients with limited or no insurance coverage. As part of this commitment, we offer patient assistance programs in the U.S. that provide financial support, ongoing education and other support to eligible patients who are prescribed MorphoSys drugs.

Detailed information on the sustainability strategy and key areas of activity of MorphoSys can be found in the separate "Non-Financial Group Report"*. The report is available on our website under https://csr.morphosys.com/2021.

Leading Indicators

MorphoSys follows a variety of leading indicators to monitor the macroeconomic environment, the industry and the Company itself. At the corporate level, economic data is gathered on the progress of individual programs. MorphoSys uses general market data and external financial reports to acquire information on leading macroeconomic indicators such as industry transactions, changes in the legal environment and the availability of research funding and reviews these data carefully.

Market analyses that assess the medical need for innovative therapies for serious diseases focused not only on cancer and autoimmune diseases, but also generally with regard to new technologies in the market, serve as early indicators in the area of business development. By continuously monitoring the market, MorphoSys can respond to trends and requirements quickly and initiate its own activities and partnerships.

For active collaborations, a joint steering committee meets regularly (usually two to four times per year) to update and monitor the programs' progress. These ongoing reviews give the Company a chance to intervene at an early stage if there are any negative developments and provide it with information about expected interim goals and related milestone payments well in advance. Partners in non-active collaborations regularly provide (once per year) MorphoSys with written reports so that the Company can follow the progress of active therapeutic programs.

² In financial year 2021, the functional costs "Research and Development expenses," "Selling expenses," and "General and Administrative expenses" have been combined and the percentage share of research and development costs included therein has been presented separately. In previous years, the functional costs were as follows:

Commercialization

In July 2018, MorphoSys established a subsidiary in the United States – MorphoSys US Inc. – in preparation for the potential marketing approval of tafasitamab. The subsidiary's registered office is located in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. At the end of 2021, MorphoSys US Inc. had 93 people employed as part of, or to support, its commercial structure. MorphoSys' commercial activities are currently focused on Monjuvi in the United States; the Company is co-commercializing this product with Incyte.

On July 31, 2020, Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix)* in combination with lenalidomide was approved under acceleratd approval by the U.S. FDA* for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r*) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL*) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT*). This was the first U.S. FDA approval of a second-line treatment for adult patients with r/r DLBCL in the U.S. The safety and tolerability profile supports a paradigm shift towards treating patients to progression, which could enable long-term disease control. Monjuvi is accessible to patients in both community care and academic settings as an off-the-shelf intravenous infusion that does not require hospitalization or heavy monitoring. Upon approval, MorphoSys and Incyte launched 'My Mission Support', a robust patient support program offering financial assistance, ongoing education and other resources to eligible patients who are prescribed Monjuvi in the U.S. The program was launched to support patients throughout their treatment journeys and to help lower patient access barriers.

Monjuvi has been included in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® Clinical Practice Guidelines (NCCN Guidelines®) in Oncology for B-cell Lymphomas since August 2020. The NCCN Guidelines in the United States were updated to include Monjuvi in combination with lenalidomide with a Category 2A designation as an option for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for ASCT. Inclusion in these guidelines increases awareness of a product within the oncology community and also drives certain formulary decisions. As of April 1, 2021, Monjuvi was granted a J-code, further simplifying reimbursement for some treatment centers.

In the first half of 2021, commercial performance was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As vaccination rates increased there was a gradual easing of restrictions at sites of care, which allowed sales teams to engage in more face-to-face meetings with physicians and contributed to the positive momentum we observed in the second half of 2021. Many larger facilities, however, opened at a slower pace than community health centers.

In 2021, MorphoSys and Incyte continued to see high penetration in the community setting which drove approximately 70% of Monjuvi prescriptions. Since launch, the Company, along with partner Incyte, has in aggregate received orders from more than 1,000 treatment sites. During the fourth quarter, more than 570 accounts placed orders, with over 70% of those accounts representing repeat accounts. The proportion of accounts that reordered has been consistent from the third quarter through the fourth quarter. The partnership has also made tremendous strides in educating our customers of the value of combination treatment of Monjuvi and lenalidomide for people with r/r DLBCL not otherwise specified, and who are ineligible for ASCT. Approximately 2,000 patients have been treated with Monjuvi in the U.S. since its launch.

Operating Business Performance

During 2021, MorphoSys focused on commercializing its marketed product and in advancing product candidates at various stages of development. The acquisition of Constellation represents a transformation for MorphoSys, expanding its clinical development pipeline and positioning the Company for long-term sustainable growth.

The key measures of value for MorphoSys' research and development activities include:

• Project launches and the advancement of individual development programs
• Clinical and preclinical research results
• Regulatory guidance of healthcare authorities for the approval of individual therapeutic programs
• Collaborations, partnerships and M&A activities with other companies to expand the technology base and expand the drug pipeline, as well as to commercialize the therapeutic programs
• Strong patent protection to secure MorphoSys' market position

MorphoSys announced on June 2, 2021, its plans to acquire Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. for US\$ 34.00 (equivalent to € 28.79) per share in cash, representing a total equity value of US\$1,635.2 million (equivalent to € 1,384.7 million). The transaction was unanimously approved by the Management Board and Supervisory Board of MorphoSys as well as by the Board of Directors of Constellation. The acquisition was completed on July 15, 2021. Constellation is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers and develops novel product candidates to address serious unmet medical needs in patients with cancers associated with abnormal gene expression or drug resistance. Constellation's two lead product candidates, pelabresib (CPI-0610*), a BET inhibitor, and CPI-0209, a second-generation EZH2* inhibitor, are in mid- to late-stage clinical development. MorphoSys expects the following benefits from the acquisition:

• Accelerates growth strategy with promising mid- to late-stage product candidates: The transaction accelerates MorphoSys' strategy to grow through proprietary drug development and commercialization. Constellation's lead product candidates, pelabresib and CPI-0209, are in phase 3 and phase 2, respectively, and may offer broad potential for a range of oncology indications. They fit well with MorphoSys' proven clinical development, regulatory and commercial capabilities, and MorphoSys is well positioned to rapidly advance and unlock the potential of the Constellation portfolio.

* see glossary – page 182

• Strengthens position in hematology/oncology and expands into solid tumors: Constellation adds an attractive, complementary pipeline of highly innovative mid- to late-stage cancer therapy candidates, augmenting MorphoSys' existing pipeline in hematologic malignancies and expanding into potential therapies for solid tumors.

At the time of the Constellation acquisition, MorphoSys also entered into a funding agreement with Royalty Pharma plc ("Royalty Pharma"). Under the terms of this agreement, Royalty Pharma made a US\$ 1,425.0 million (€ 1,206.7 million) upfront payment to MorphoSys and also provided MorphoSys with access to up to US\$ 350.0 million (€ 296.4 million) in development funding bonds with the flexibility to draw over a one-year period. MorphoSys agreed to place a minimum of US\$ 150.0 million (€ 127.0 million) of development funding bonds. Royalty Pharma also invested US\$ 100.0 million (€ 84.7 million) in a cash capital increase of MorphoSys under an authorization to exclude subscription rights of existing shareholders and will make additional payments of up to US\$ 100.0 million (€ 84.7 million) upon reaching clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones for otilimab*, gantenerumab and pelabresib. Royalty Pharma gained rights to receive 100% of MorphoSys' royalties* on net sales of Tremfya®, 80% of future royalties and 100% of future milestone payments on otilimab, 60% of future royalties on gantenerumab, and 3% on future net sales of Constellation's clinical-stage assets, pelabresib and CPI-0209.

Research and Development

As of December 31, 2021, MorphoSys' research and development activities are currently focused on the following clinical candidates:

• Tafasitamab (MOR208, formerly XmAb5574) is a humanized Fc-modified monoclonal antibody directed against CD19*. CD19 is selectively expressed on the surface of B-cells*, which belong to a group of white blood cells. CD19 enhances B-cell receptor signaling, which is an important factor in B-cell survival and growth. CD19 is a potential target structure for the treatment of B-cell malignancies.
• Pelabresib* (CPI-0610) is an investigational selective small molecule BET inhibitor with an epigenetic mechanism of action that has been designed to promote anti-tumor activity by specifically inhibiting the function of BET proteins, which normally enhance target gene expression. The FDA and EMA granted orphan drug designation to pelabresib for the treatment of myelofibrosis in November 2019 and February 2020 respectively. We believe there is an opportunity to address serious unmet medical needs in patients with myelofibrosis. As part of MorphoSys' agreement with Royalty Pharma, Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive 3% of future net sales of pelabresib.
• Felzartamab* (MOR202/TJ202) is an investigational human monoclonal HuCAL-IgG1-antibody directed against a unique epitope of the target molecule CD38*. CD38 is a surface antigen* broadly expressed on malignant myeloma cells as well as on antibody-producing plasmablasts and plasma cells, the latter playing an important role in the pathogenesis of antibodymediated autoimmune diseases.
• CPI-0209 is an investigational small molecule, second-generation EZH2 inhibitor with an epigenetic mechanism of action that has been designed to achieve comprehensive target coverage through increased on-target residence time. Data from in vitro preclinical models of multiple cancer types suggested that CPI-0209 may bind to EZH2 more durably and with higher affinity than first-generation EZH2 inhibitors. CPI-0209 was designed to eliminate auto-induction of metabolism, which has been an issue with other EZH2 inhibitors. Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive 3% of future net sales of CPI-0209.

In addition to MorphoSys' own pipeline, the following programs, among others, are being further developed by MorphoSys' partners:

• Felzartamab (see above) is also being further developed by I-Mab for mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, where, if approved, it may also be commercialized. I-Mab is currently pursuing development in multiple myeloma (MM*) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
• Gantenerumab, a HuCAL antibody targeting amyloid beta*, is being developed by Roche as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. As part of the agreement with Royalty Pharma, MorphoSys will retain 40% of future royalties on gantenerumab and will provide Royalty Pharma with 60% of future royalties.
• Otilimab* (formerly MOR103/GSK3196165) is a HuCAL antibody directed against granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF*). Due to its diverse functions in the immune system, GM-CSF can be considered a target for a broad range of anti-inflammatory therapies such as rheumatoid arthritis* (RA). Otilimab was fully out-licensed to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 2013. MorphoSys will retain 20% of future royalties on otilimab and, as part of the agreement with Royalty Pharma, will provide Royalty Pharma with 80% of future royalties and 100% of future milestone payments.
• Tremfya is a HuCAL antibody targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23 that is being developed and commercialized by Janssen. It is the first commercial product based on MorphoSys' proprietary technology.

Proprietary Clinical Development

Tafasitamab

Overview

Tafasitamab (MOR208, formerly XmAb5574) is a humanized Fc-modified monoclonal antibody directed against CD19. CD19 is selectively expressed on the surface of B-cells, which belong to a group of white blood cells. CD19 enhances B-cell receptor signaling, which is an important factor in B-cell survival and growth, making CD19 a potential target structure for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. The clinical development of tafasitamab is currently focused on B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL*), particularly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL*) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL*). In addition, we will initiate the MINDway study, in which we are investigating an optimized treatment regimen to reduce the frequency of drug administration and thereby reduce the burden on the patient.

Lymphomas collectively represent approximately 5% of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. The group of NHL diseases is the most prevalent of all lymphoproliferative diseases. According to the National Cancer Institute, there were an estimated 81,560 new cases in the United States in 2021 and an estimated 20,720 deaths due to this disease ("Cancer Stat Facts 2021: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma"). DLBCL is the most common type of NHL in adults and accounts for approximately one-third of all NHL cases globally. The current first-line treatment of B-cell lymphomas, including DLBCL, most commonly consists of a combination chemotherapy regimen plus the antibody rituximab, also referred to commonly as R-CHOP* (R, rituximab; CHOP, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone). Yet, despite the therapeutic success of frontline R-CHOP in DLBCL, up to 40% of patients either do not respond to the treatment (are refractory) or relapse after initial treatment with fast disease progression. The market research and consulting firm GlobalData expects the therapeutic market for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) to reach approximately € 8 billion (approximately US\$ 9 billion) in 2024 (report "B-cell NHL: Opportunity Analysis 2017–2027").

We currently forecast an opportunity as a second- and later-line treatment in r/r DLBCL of approximately 10,000 eligible patients per year in the U.S. and approximately 14,000 eligible patients per year in Europe who are not eligible for high-dose chemotherapy (HDC*) and ASCT. As a potential first-line treatment in DLBCL, we believe there is currently a market opportunity of 30,000 patients in the U.S. and 40,000 patients in Europe.

Operational Development

Tafasitamab is being developed pursuant to a collaboration and license agreement entered into with Xencor, Inc. (Xencor) in June 2010. Under this agreement, Xencor granted MorphoSys an exclusive worldwide license to tafasitamab for all indications. MorphoSys also has a collaboration and license agreement for the global further development and commercialization of tafasitamab with Incyte, signed in January 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys and Incyte will develop tafasitamab broadly in relapsed or refractory (r/r) DLBCL and first-line DLBCL, as well as in additional indications beyond DLBCL, such as follicular lymphoma (FL), and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). MorphoSys is responsible for conducting frontMIND*, a pivotal phase 3 study in first-line DLBCL. Incyte is responsible for conducting inMIND*, a pivotal phase 3 study in r/r FL/MZL. Incyte is also responsible for conducting a phase 1b combination study of its PI3K delta inhibitor parsaclisib with tafasitamab in various r/r B-cell malignancies. MorphoSys and Incyte share responsibility for initiating additional global clinical trials*.

MorphoSys and Incyte are co-commercializing Monjuvi in the United States. Monjuvi in combination with lenalidomide was approved in the U.S. in July 2020 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). This was the first FDA approval of a second-line therapy for adult patients with r/r DLBCL in the United States. Monjuvi was approved by the FDA under an accelerated approval process based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

On August 26, 2021, MorphoSys and Incyte announced that the European Commission (EC) had granted conditional marketing authorization for tafasitamab (brand name Minjuvi) in combination with lenalidomide, followed by tafasitamab monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for ASCT. In July 2021, the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) confirmed the orphan drug designation status of Minjuvi, agreeing that sufficient justification had been provided that Minjuvi may be of significant benefit to patients with this disease.

On August 24, 2021, Health Canada granted conditional marketing authorization to Incyte for Minjuvi in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, who are not eligible for ASCT.

Related to these ex-U.S. regulatory approvals, in the third quarter 2021, MorphoSys received, for the first time, royalty revenue for Minjuvi sales outside of the U.S. pursuant to the agreement with Incyte.

On January 5, 2021, MorphoSys and Incyte announced that the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products (Swissmedic) had accepted the marketing authorization application (MAA*) for tafasitamab. The MAA seeks approval for tafasitamab, in combination with lenalidomide, followed by tafasitamab monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with r/r DLBCL, including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, who are not candidates for ASCT. The MAA is being reviewed as part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) modified Project Orbis, which provides a framework

for concurrent submission and review of oncology drug applications among the FDA's international collaborators. Collaboration among international regulators may allow patients with cancer to receive earlier access to products in other countries.

On August 17, 2021, Incyte announced that it had entered into a collaboration and license agreement with a subsidiary of InnoCare for tafasitamab in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, InnoCare received the rights to develop and exclusively commercialize tafasitamab in hematology/oncology in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Incyte holds the development and commercialization rights for tafasitamab outside the U.S., and MorphoSys receives tiered royalties on ex-U.S. net sales.

Studies of Tafasitamab

The clinical development of tafasitamab is focused on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In DLBCL, MorphoSys aims to position tafasitamab as a backbone therapy for patients suffering from this disease, regardless of treatment line or potential combination therapy. Treatment options for patients with r/r DLBCL who are not candidates for high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and ASCT were limited prior to the U.S. approval of tafasitamab.

In June 2021, MorphoSys and Incyte announced new three-year follow-up data from the ongoing phase 2 L-MIND* study of tafasitamab (Monjuvi) in combination with lenalidomide in adult patients with r/r DLBCL. The new results, based on an October 30, 2020 data cut-off, built on previous findings showing durable responses and a consistent safety profile of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide followed by tafasitamab monotherapy. A total of 80 out of 81 enrolled study patients receiving tafasitamab plus lenalidomide were included in the efficacy analysis at approximately three years follow-up (≥35 months). The long-term analysis, as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC), showed that patients treated with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide had an overall response rate (ORR*) of 57.5%, including a complete response (CR*) rate of 40%. Additionally, the median duration of response (DoR*) was 43.9 months, with a median overall survival (OS*) of 33.5 months and median progression-free survival (PFS*) of 11.6 months.

In December 2021, additional results from the RE-MIND2* study were presented at the 2021 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The study matched L-MIND trial patients receiving tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide followed by tafasitamab monotherapy with real-world adult patients who received the most frequently used treatments for r/r DLBCL. These treatments included 1) polatuzumab vedotin plus bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR*); 2) rituximab plus lenalidomide (R2); and 3) CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T*) therapies.

Specifically, the study showed the following results:

• A significant improvement in median overall survival (OS) was observed for tafasitamab plus lenalidomide with 20.1 months compared to pola-BR with 7.2 months (p = 0.038), and 24.6 months for tafasitamab plus lenalidomide compared to 7.4 months for R2* (p = 0.014).
• A comparable median OS benefit was observed with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide with 22.5 months compared to CAR-T with 15 months however, these results were not statistically significant.
• ORR, a key secondary endpoint, was statistically significantly higher for tafasitamab plus lenalidomide at 63.6% versus R2 at 30.3% (p = 0.013).
• Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide also achieved a significantly higher CR rate, a key secondary endpoint, with 39.4% versus 15.2% for R2 (p = 0.0514).
• While safety endpoints were not included in this study, the most common adverse events (AEs) associated with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide were feeling tired or weak, diarrhea, cough, fever, swelling of lower legs or hands, respiratory tract infection and decreased appetite. Warnings and Precautions for Monjuvi included infusion-related reactions (6%), serious or severe myelosuppression (including neutropenia (50%), thrombocytopenia (18%), and anemia (7%)), infections (73%) and embryo-fetal toxicity. Neutropenia led to treatment discontinuation in 3.7% of patients. The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were neutropenia, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, cough, pyrexia, peripheral edema, respiratory tract infection, and decreased appetite.

The phase 2/3 study, B-MIND* is evaluating the safety and efficacy of tafasitamab in combination with the chemotherapeutic agent bendamustine in comparison to rituximab plus bendamustine in patients with r/r DLBCL who are not candidates for HDC and ASCT. The study has been fully recruited as of June 2021. The regulatory significance of the B-MIND study has decreased as both FDA and EMA* have approved Monjuvi and Minjuvi, respectively, based on L-MIND data. Long-term safety data of B-MIND are required by the EMA as an obligation for the conditional marketing authorization. As such, the event-driven primary analysis has been removed from the planned analyses; all final analyses of primary and secondary endpoints will be performed in mid-2024.

In addition to clinical development in r/r DLBCL, on May 11, 2021 MorphoSys announced that the first patient had been dosed in frontMIND, a pivotal phase 3 trial of tafasitamab in first-line DL-BCL: frontMIND is evaluating tafasitamab and lenalidomide in combination with R-CHOP compared to R-CHOP alone as first-line treatment for high-intermediate and high-risk patients with untreated DLBCL. The study is planned to enroll up to 880 patients. Updated preliminary data presented at ASH, 2021 from firstMIND*, a phase 1b, open-label, randomized study on the safety and efficacy of R-CHOP plus either tafasitamab or tafasitamab plus lenalidomide for patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL, showed a preliminary overall response rate of 90.9% versus 93.9%, respectively in a patient population that had an overall poor prognosis. The combination of tafasitamab, lenalidomide and R-CHOP had an acceptable and manageable safety profile. These results supported further investigation of the tafasitamab plus lenalidomide combination in the frontMIND study. On November 11, 2021, MorphoSys provided an update on the frontMIND study, indicating that enrollment was going well and that additional sites were being added in the United States to satisfy investigator and patient interests. Topline data from the trial are expected in the second half of 2025.

On April 19, 2021, MorphoSys and Incyte announced that the first patient had been dosed in the phase 3 inMIND study. InMIND is a global, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 3 study evaluating whether tafasitamab and lenalidomide as an add-on to rituximab provides improved clinical benefit compared with lenalidomide alone as an add-on to rituximab in patients with r/r FL Grade 1 to 3a or r/r nodal, splenic or extranodal MZL. The study is expected to enroll over 600 adult patients with r/r FL or r/r MZL. The primary endpoint of the study is PFS in the FL population, and the key secondary endpoints are PFS and OS in the overall population as well as positron emission tomography complete response (PET-CR) at the end of treatment (EOT) in the FL population. Topline data from the inMIND trial are expected in the second half of 2023.

Initiated in late 2021 and sponsored by Incyte, the topMIND* trial is a single-arm, open-label, phase 1b/2a, multicenter basket study to evaluate whether tafasitamab and parsaclisib can be safely combined at the recommended phase 2 dose and dosing regimen that was established for each of the two compounds as a treatment option for adult participants with r/r B-cell malignancies. Participants will be assigned to disease-specific cohorts based on the histology of their underlying disease: Cohort 1: r/r DLBCL, Cohort 2: r/r MCL, Cohort 3: r/r FL, Cohort 4: r/r MZL, and Cohort 5: r/r CLL*/SLL*. The primary outcomes of the phase 1b part of the trial will be the number of TEAEs* and incidence of dose-limiting toxicities. Key secondary objectives include ORR for the phase 2a part and various PK measures.

Pelabresib

Overview

Pelabresib, also known as CPI-0610, is a small molecule designed to promote anti-tumor activity by selectively inhibiting the function of BET proteins to decrease the expression of abnormally expressed genes in cancer. The clinical development of pelabresib is currently focused on myelofibrosis (MF). MF is a form of bone marrow cancer that disrupts the body's normal production of blood cells. It causes fibrosis (scarring) of the bone marrow, leading to severe anemia as well as thrombocytopenia. MF have enlarged spleens as well as many other physical symptoms, including abdominal discomfort, bone pain and extreme fatigue.

Approximately 4–6 per 100,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with MF, most of whom are intermediate- or high-risk patients. There are limited treatment options for patients with MF. We believe there are approximately 30,000 to 35,000 intermediate- or high-risk MF patients in the United States and Europe that are eligible for systemic treatment, including ruxolitinib. Incyte, which markets ruxolitinib (Jakafi®), has estimated that about half of these eligible patients in the United States receive treatment with ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, is the current standard of care for intermediate- and high-risk MF patients. Many of these eligible patients do not initially receive treatment with ruxolitinib. For example, patients with low red blood cell or platelet counts are ineligible to receive ruxolitinib. Fedratinib is a second JAK1/2 inhibitor approved for use in treating MF. Patients who become refractory to, or discontinue therapy with, ruxolitinib and fedratinib generally have a poor survival prognosis. Currently approved drugs for the treatment of patients suffering from MF offer symptomatic improvement and are generally not considered to be disease-modifying.

As part of MorphoSys' agreement with Royalty Pharma, Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive 3% of future net sales of pelabresib.

Studies of Pelabresib

Pelabresib is currently in two clinical trials for the treatment of MF, the phase 2 MANIFEST trial and the phase 3 MANIFEST-2 trial. MANIFEST is a global, multicenter, open-label phase 2 study that evaluates pelabresib as monotherapy or in combination with ruxolitinib, the current standard of care. In Arm 3 of this study, pelabresib is being evaluated in combination with ruxolitinib, in JAK-inhibitor-naïve MF patients, with a primary endpoint of the proportion of patients with a ≥35% spleen volume reduction from baseline (SVR35) after 24 weeks of treatment. Pelabresib is also being evaluated in a second-line setting (2L) either as a monotherapy in patients who are resistant to, intolerant of, or ineligible for ruxolitinib and no longer on the drug (Arm 1), or as add-on therapy to ruxolitinib in patients with a sub-optimal response to ruxolitinib or MF progression (Arm 2). Patients in Arms 1 and 2 are being stratified based on transfusion-dependent (TD) status. The primary endpoint for the patients in cohorts 1A and 2A, who were TD at baseline, is conversion to transfusion independence for 12 consecutive weeks. The primary endpoint for patients in cohorts 1B and 2B, who were not TD at baseline, is the proportion of patients with a SVR35 after 24 weeks of treatment.

On June 11, 2021, Constellation announced that interim data from the MANIFEST trial were presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) annual meeting. The data were based on a data cut-off of September 29, 2020. In Arm 3 of the study, an interim efficacy subgroup analysis in JAK-inhibitor-naïve patients was presented. Forty-two of 63 evaluable patients (67%) achieved a SVR35 at 24 weeks, achieving the primary endpoint for Arm 3. Thirtyfour of 60 evaluable patients (57%) achieved a ≥50% reduction in Total Symptom Scores (TSS50) at 24 weeks. Strong response was observed with pelabresib, irrespective of baseline risk status or demographic and disease characteristics. Central pathology review of 27 1L patient bone marrow samples showed at least a one-grade improvement in bone marrow fibrosis in 9 out of 27 patients (33%); in all of these patients, improvement was observed within six months of starting treatment. Sixteen out of 27 patients (59%) showed stabilization of bone marrow fibrosis, while only one out of 27 patients (4%) showed worsening. An interim analysis of Arms 1

and 2 suggested that pelabresib monotherapy in JAK-inhibitorexperienced or -ineligible patients, and with pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib in ruxolitinib-experienced patients, may result in improvements in anemia.

In December 2021, updated data from MANIFEST were presented at the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting. At this meeting, the latest interim data from Arm 3 of MANIFEST evaluating pelabresib as a first-line combination with ruxolitinib for patients with MF who had not previously been treated with a JAK inhibitor (JAK inhibitornaïve) were presented. As of September 10, 2021, the data cut-off, a total of 84 JAK inhibitor-naïve patients had been enrolled in Arm 3 and received the combination. Based on the interim data, 68% (n=57) of patients treated with the combination achieved an SVR35 response at week 24 and 60% (n=47) had SVR35 response at week 48. Most patients also saw their symptoms reduced, with 56% (n = 46) achieving TSS50 from baseline at week 24. At the time of the data cut-off, 53 patients (63% of the 84 patients) were still on treatment. No new safety signals were identified in the study. The most common hematologic adverse events were thrombocytopenia (12%, grade 3/4) and anemia (34%, grade 3/4). Non-hematological events included dyspnea (5%, grade 3) and respiratory tract infections (8%, grade 3/4).

Additional data from Arm 1 of the ongoing MANIFEST trial were also presented in an oral presentation at the 2021 ASH Annual Meeting: pelabresib is being evaluated as a monotherapy in patients with advanced MF who are ineligible to receive, intolerant of, or refractory to JAK inhibitors, a population with very limited therapeutic options. Patients were divided into two cohorts, TD and non-TD. For the TD cohort, the primary endpoint was conversion to transfusion independence for 12 consecutive weeks. In the non-TD cohort, the primary endpoint was SVR35 at week 24. At week 24, 11% (n = 7) of patients reached SVR35. In addition, 31% of patients had a spleen volume reduction of 25% or more (n = 20) at week 24. Across all cohorts, 28% (n = 18) of patients achieved TSS50. No new safety signals were identified in the study. The most common hematologic adverse events were thrombocytopenia (23%, grade 3/4) and anemia (15%, grade 3). Non-hematological events included diarrhea (6%, grade 3) and respiratory tract infections (5%, grade 3).

MANIFEST-2, a global, double-blinded, randomized phase 3 clinical study, is evaluating pelabresib plus ruxolitinib versus placebo plus ruxolitinib in JAK-inhibitor-naïve patients with primary MF or post-essential thrombocythemia (post-ET) or post-polycythemia (post-PV) MF who have splenomegaly* and symptoms requiring therapy. Since the acquisition of Constellation, MorphoSys has optimized the study's design by increasing the number of trial participants to 400 patients. Measures have also been taken to improve the speed of enrollment, including adding new contract research organizations (CROs), improving the interaction with investigators, and expanding the number of countries and sites, as well as other measures. With these activities in place, MorphoSys expects to report primary analysis data from this study in the first half of 2024.

Felzartamab

Overview

Felzartamab is an investigational human monoclonal HuCAL-IgG1-antibody directed against a unique epitope of the target molecule CD38. CD38 is a surface antigen broadly expressed on malignant myeloma cells as well as on antibody-producing plasmablasts and plasma cells, the latter playing an important role in the pathogenesis of antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. Preclinical and clinical results suggest that felzartamab may have therapeutic activity in autoantibody-mediated autoimmune diseases, and clinical trials are ongoing in two such diseases – membranous nephropathy (MN*) and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN*).

MN occurs when the small blood vessels in a part of the kidney called glomeruli, which filter wastes from the blood, become inflamed and thickened. Around 80% of MN cases are primary and mediated by autoantibodies, with phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody positive MN accounting for up to 85% of all primary MN (Trujillo, 2019; Pozdizk, 2018; Couser 2017). MN is a leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults worldwide (Couser, 2017). Nephrotic syndrome results from excreting too much protein in urine due to a kidney disorder. Although 30–40% of MN patients may experience spontaneous remission, 30% of patients experience persistent proteinuria with long-term preservation of renal function, and another 30–50% progress to renal failure within 10–15 years (Trujillo, 2019; Heaf, 1999; Troyanov, 2004). Even if patients do not progress to renal failure, they have an increased risk of life-threatening thromboembolic and cardiovascular events, and are subject to infections (Wagner, 1983; Heaf, 1999; Lee, 2016). In the U.S., the incidence of MN is estimated at 1.2 per 100,000; about 3,000 adults are newly diagnosed every year (McGrogan, 2011).

There currently is no approved standard treatment for MN.

IgAN is the most common form of glomerulonephritis, a group of renal disorders that causes damage to the glomeruli, hindering their ability to carry out their essential functions. In IgAN, a combination of genetic and environmental factors causes patients to produce galactose-deficient IgA (Gd-IgA), whereupon the patients' immune system reacts by producing specific autoantibodies. The binding of these IgG autoantibodies to Gd-IgA leads to the formation of immune complexes in the circulation. The immune complexes then accumulate in the glomerular mesangium where they induce local inflammation, mesangial proliferation, glomerulosclerosis and loss of renal function. Patients with IgAN may experience different symptoms including blood and/or protein leaking into the urine, high blood pressure, interstitial lung disease, glomerulosclerosis (scarring of the kidneys' blood vessels) and a slow progression to chronic kidney disease. About 40% of patients with IgAN progress to end-stage renal disease within 20 years of diagnosis. Worldwide IgAN incidence is estimated at 2.5 per 100,000. Currently there are no approved treatments that can specifically prevent the production of Gd IgA nor its corresponding autoantibody.

According to Data Bridge Market Research, the U.S. membranous nephropathy market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% between 2021 and 2028 and is expected to reach US\$ 153.1 million (€ 135.2 million) by 2028. According to Research and Markets, the IgAN market in the seven major markets (United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, United Kingdom and Japan) was US\$ 109.3 million (€ 96.5 million) in 2020 and the prevalence has been shown to increase over time.

Studies of Felzartamab

In October 2019, MorphoSys initiated a phase 1/2 trial in anti-PLA2R antibody positive MN*. The proof-of-concept trial called M-PLACE* is an open-label, multicenter trial primarily assessing the safety and tolerability of felzartamab. On November 4, 2021, MorphoSys presented interim results from M-PLACE at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN). The study included 31 patients with primarily medium or high levels of anti-PLA2R antibody titers at baseline and/or patients who were refractory to previous treatments. Of the 27 treated patients with evaluable results, 24 showed an initial rapid reduction of anti-PLA2R antibody levels one week after the first treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment, most patients showed a substantial reduction in autoantibody titer. The observed titer reduction was independent of cohort and suggests successful depletion of CD38 positive plasma cells. The safety profile was consistent with the proposed mechanism of action of felzartamab. An early assessment of urine protein: creatinine ratio (UPCR) results at six months of treatment showed a decrease in six of ten patients, with four patients having a decrease of >=50% from baseline. The first patient who had already reached the 12-month time point showed a complete immunologic response and a partial clinical response.

Also in November 2021, MorphoSys reported that the M-PLACE trial was fully enrolled. Additional data from the study are expected to be available in the second half of 2022.

In February 2021, the first patient was dosed in the New-PLACE* study, a phase 2 study evaluating different treatment schedules to identify the regimen for a pivotal study in patients with anti-PLA2R-antibody positive MN. Enrollment in this study was completed at the end of 2021, and topline data are expected in the second half of 2022.

In October 2021, the first patient was dosed in the phase 2 IGNAZ* trial evaluating felzartamab in patients with IgAN. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebocontrolled trial is planned to enroll approximately 48 patients and is designed to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) of felzartamab in patients with IgAN. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of felzartamab compared to placebo. The primary endpoint is the relative change in UPCR and will be assessed for each patient nine months after treatment initiation. Study sites are located in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, excluding Greater China. Proof-of-concept data from the IGNAZ trial are expected in the fourth quarter of 2022.

CPI-0209

Overview

CPI-0209 is a small molecule designed to promote anti-tumor activity by specifically inhibiting EZH2, an enzyme that suppresses target gene expression. We believe that targeting EZH2 may have the potential for therapeutic application in various tumor types. Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive 3% of future net sales of CPI-0209.

Studies of CPI-0209

Patient enrollment in a phase 1/2 clinical trial of CPI-0209 is ongoing. The phase 1 portion of the trial evaluated CPI-0209 as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. After determining the recommended phase 2 dose of 350 mg (oral, once-daily), patients are currently being dosed in the phase 2 expansion cohorts in select tumor indications, (urothelial carcinoma (ARID1A mutant), ovarian clear cell carcinoma (ARID1A mutant), endometrial carcinoma (ARID1A mutant), lymphoma, mesothelioma, metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer), and data from this part of the trial are expected in 2022.

As of the data cut-off of March 9, 2021, of the 4 BAP1 loss mesothelioma patients, one patient had a PR* after four cycles of treatment and two had SD*. The high levels of target engagement observed preclinically were corroborated clinically. All 40 patients were evaluated for safety. Across all dose cohorts, 43% of patients had at least one Grade 3 or greater treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE), 28% of patients had at least one serious adverse event (SAE*). The most common TEAEs (≥15%) included thrombocytopenia (reversible and dose dependent), diarrhea, asthenic conditions, nausea, anemia, dysgeusia, abdominal pain and alopecia. 23% of patients reported a TEAE that led to dose reduction or interruption. Four patients discontinued treatment because of TEAEs. One patient in the highest dose cohort (375mg) experienced Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and one patient experienced a Grade 5 adverse event due to progressive disease. Based on this preliminary data, CPI-0209 appeared to be generally well tolerated. We expect to report additional results from the trial in 2022. * see glossary – page 182

Clinical Development through Partners

The most advanced programs being developed by partners are outlined below.

Felzartamab

Overview

MorphoSys has an exclusive regional licensing agreement for felzartamab with I-Mab for Greater China, where development is currently focused on multiple myeloma (MM), a blood cancer that develops in mature plasma cells in the bone marrow. MM is the second most common form of blood cancer worldwide. According to GLOBOCAN 2020 statistics, there were an estimated 4.6 million cancer cases, more than 21,000 MM cases and more than 16,000 deaths in China in 2020. In China, the incidence of MM is projected to continue to increase at least through 2040. Current therapies are associated with serious side effects and limited efficacy.

Regional Agreement with I-Mab

MorphoSys has an exclusive regional licensing agreement for felzartamab with I-Mab. Under the terms of the agreement, signed in November 2017, I-Mab has the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize felzartamab in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. Upon signing the agreement, MorphoSys received an immediate upfront payment of US\$ 20 million (€ 18 million). MorphoSys is also entitled to receive additional successbased clinical and commercial milestone payments from I-Mab of up to US\$ 100 million (€ 88 million), as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales of felzartamab in the agreed regions.

Studies of Felzartamab

I-Mab is conducting a phase 3 clinical trial in Greater China to evaluate felzartamab in combination with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone in patients with r/r MM. This study is a randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of felzartamab, lenalidomide and dexamethasone versus the combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone in patients with r/r MM who have received at least one prior line of treatment. The study was initiated in April 2019 at sites in Taiwan and started in mainland China in April 2020 as part of a coordinated effort to accelerate the study. In October 2021, I-Mab announced that patient enrollment in this pivotal phase 3 trial has been completed. I-Mab is also evaluating felzartamab as a third-line therapy in patients with r/r MM in a pivotal phase 2 trial that started in March 2019. At the end of August 2021, I-Mab announced that topline data met primary and secondary endpoints.

On June 25, 2021, I-Mab announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) had approved the Investigational New Drug (IND*) application to initiate a phase 1b study with felzartamab in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE, the most common type of lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys and blood vessels. There is no cure for SLE. The phase 1b multi-center trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of felzartamab in patients with SLE in China. The SLE study start date is scheduled for Q1 2022.

Gantenerumab

Overview

Gantenerumab is a HuCAL antibody targeting amyloid beta, and is being developed by licensing partner Roche as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Amyloid beta refers to a group of peptides that play an important role in Alzheimer's disease as they are the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brain of Alzheimer's patients. Gantenerumab binds to the N-terminus and a section in the middle of the amyloid beta peptide. The antibody removes amyloid beta via microglia-mediated phagocytosis. It has been designed to promote clearance of amyloid plaques in the brain, a pathological hallmark of AD, and has shown downstream effects on multiple biomarkers of AD pathology and neurodegeneration in clinical trials. According to the market research and consulting company Decision Resources, the value of the global market for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease is expected to reach approximately € 35 billion ( approximately US\$ 40 billion) in 2030 (report titled "Market Forecast Assumption Alzheimer's Disease 2020–2030").

According to figures from the Alzheimer's Association, more than six million people in the United States live with Alzheimer's disease. Deaths from Alzheimer's disease increased 16% during the COVID-19 pandemic (https://www.alz.org/alzheimersdementia/facts-figures). In 2019, Alzheimer's disease was the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States (https://www. cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm).

Operational Development

Under the agreement announced in June 2021 between MorphoSys and Royalty Pharma, Royalty Pharma has the right to receive 60% of future royalties on gantenerumab.

On October 11, 2021, MorphoSys announced that Roche had received Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the U.S. FDA for gantenerumab for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This designation was based on data showing that gantenerumab significantly reduced brain amyloid plaque, a pathological hallmark of this disease, in the SCarlet RoAD and Marguerite RoAD openlabel extension trials, as well as other studies.

Studies of Gantenerumab

In June 2018, Roche initiated a new phase 3 development program for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The program consists of the GRADUATE 1 and GRADUATE 2 phase 3 trials. The two multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies are investigating the efficacy and safety of gantenerumab in more than 2,000 patients with early (prodromal to mild) Alzheimer's disease and follow them for over two years. The primary endpoint for both studies is the assessment of the signs and symptoms of dementia, measured as the clinical dementia rating sum of boxes (CDR-SOB) score. Learnings from the SCarlet RoAD and Marguerite RoAD studies were incorporated into the optimized design of the phase 3 GRADUATE trials, with patients receiving a significantly higher dose of gantenerumab as a subcutaneous injection than in Roche's previous trials. The GRADUATE 1 and 2 trials are expected to be completed in Q4 2022.

Otilimab

Overview

Otilimab (formerly MOR103/GSK3196165) is a HuCAL-IgG1-antibody directed against granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Due to its diverse functions in the immune system, GM-CSF can be considered a target for a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory therapies, such as those in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the synovial membrane of the joints and is accompanied by painful swelling that can lead to bone destruction and joint deformity.

MorphoSys discovered and advanced otilimab to clinical development. In June 2013, MorphoSys announced that it had entered into a worldwide agreement with GSK for the development and commercialization of otilimab. Under the terms of the agreement, GSK assumes responsibility for all further development and commercialization of the compound. Under the terms of the agreement, MorphoSys received an upfront payment of € 22.5 million. Depending on the achievement of certain development, regulatory, commercial and revenue milestones, MorphoSys is eligible to receive further payments from GSK of up to € 423 million, as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. Under the agreement between MorphoSys and Royalty Pharma, Royalty Pharma is entitled to 80% of future royalties and 100% of future milestone payments for otilimab.

The total market for RA drugs is growing steadily. According to the market research and consulting firm Decision Resources, the market for RA drugs was projected to reach € 28 billion (US\$ 32 billion) in 2022 in G7 countries (report titled "Market Forecast Assumptions Rheumatoid Arthritis 2020–2030").

Studies of Otilimab

In July 2019, GSK launched a phase 3 program for RA called ContRAst. The treatment of the first patient in this program triggered a milestone payment of € 22 million to MorphoSys. Data from the ContRAst program studies are expected by the end of 2022.

GSK also initiated a clinical trial (OSCAR) in 2020 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of otilimab in patients with severe pulmonary COVID-19-associated disease. The event of the first patient dosed in the expanded OSCAR study triggered milestone payments totaling € 16 million to MorphoSys in financial year 2021. In October 2021, GSK provided an update that it had made the decision not to further explore otilimab as a potential treatment for severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease in patients aged of 70 years and older.

Tremfya® (Guselkumab)

Overview

Tremfya is a human HuCAL antibody targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23 that is being developed and commercialized by Janssen. It is the first commercial product based on MorphoSys' proprietary technology. It is approved for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis* (plaque psoriasis) in the United States, Canada, the European Union (EU), Japan, China and a number of other countries. In the U.S. and elsewhere, it is also approved for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis* and in the EU for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis who have had an inadequate response or have not tolerated prior disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. In Japan, Tremfya is approved for the treatment of patients with various forms of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and palmoplantar pustulosis.

* see glossary – page 182

Under an agreement with Janssen, MorphoSys receives royalties on net sales of Tremfya and is also entitled to milestone payments on selected future development activities. Under the agreement between MorphoSys and Royalty Pharma, Royalty Pharma is entitled to 100% of future Tremfya royalties starting with royalties for the second quarter of 2021.

MOR210/TJ210

Overview

MOR210/TJ210 is a human antibody directed against C5aR, derived from MorphoSys' HuCAL technology. C5aR, the receptor of complement factor C5a, is being investigated as a potential new drug target in the fields of immuno-oncology and autoimmune diseases. Tumor cells generate high levels of C5a, which is believed to contribute to an immuno-suppressive and, consequently, tumor growth-promoting microenvironment by recruiting and activating myeloid suppressor cells (MDSCs). MOR210/TJ210 is engineered to neutralize the immuno-suppressive function of MDSCs by blocking the interaction between C5a and its receptor and enabling the immune system to fight the tumor.

Regional Agreement with I-Mab

In November 2018, MorphoSys announced that the Company had entered into an exclusive strategic collaboration and regional licensing agreement with I-Mab. Under the agreement, I-Mab has exclusive rights to develop and commercialize MOR210/TJ210 in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and South Korea, while MorphoSys retains rights in the rest of the world. The agreement deepened the existing partnership with I-Mab and built on the existing collaboration to develop MOR210/TJ210. Under the agreement, I-Mab has exclusive rights to develop and commercialize MOR210/TJ210 in the territories covered by the agreement. With MorphoSys' support, I-Mab is to conduct and fund all worldwide development activities for MOR210/TJ210, including clinical trials in China and the U.S., up to proof-of-concept in oncology.

Study of MOR210/TJ210

On January 25, 2021, MorphoSys and I-Mab announced the dosing of the first patient in the U.S. in a phase 1 dose-finding study evaluating the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of MOR210/TJ210 as monotherapy in patients with r/r advanced solid tumors. The phase 1 clinical trial is an open-label, multiple-dose group, dosefinding study in various centers across the U.S.

I-Mab has announced another phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the dose-finding and safety for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors in 2022 in China.

Other Business Activities

Technologies

MorphoSys has developed a number of technologies that provide direct access to human antibodies for the treatment of diseases. MorphoSys has historically used these technologies for proprietary and partnered programs but is now primarily focused on expanding its own pipeline with these and other technologies. MorphoSys' most important technologies include HuCAL, a collection of several billion fully human antibodies, and a system for their optimization. Another important and, compared to HuCAL, further optimized platform is Ylanthia: a large antibody library* representing the next generation of antibody technologies. Ylanthia is based on an innovative concept for generating highly specific and fully human antibodies. With Ylanthia, MorphoSys has set a new standard in therapeutic antibody development and will continue to preferentially use this technology to identify antibody candidates for its proprietary pipeline. With Slonomics, MorphoSys has a patentprotected, fully automated gene synthesis and modification technology to generate highly diverse gene libraries in a controlled process, for example to improve antibody properties.

* see glossary – page 182

MorphoSys also has a licensing agreement with Cherry Biolabs, a spin-off of the University Hospital of Würzburg, Germany, granting MorphoSys the rights to apply Cherry Biolabs' innovative, multispecific Hemibody technology to six exclusive targets. Combined with MorphoSys' expertise in antibody technologies, the Hemibody technology offers the potential to generate novel T-cell-engaging medicines with higher precision and better safety profiles for the treatment of cancer patients. MorphoSys intends to further develop the Hemibody technology in the context of MorphoSys' CyCAT dual-targeting platform to advance novel Hemibody-based treatment options for patients with hematological and solid cancers.

Drug Development

MorphoSys has a broad development pipeline and develops drugs using its own research and development and in collaboration with pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners as well as academic institutions.

Our core business is the development of new therapies for patients suffering from serious diseases. Our first proprietary program to receive marketing approval is tafasitamab – brand name Monjuvi, which was first approved in the U.S. in July 2020 in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for ASCT. Tafasitamab under the brand name Minjuvi has also been approved for marketing in the EU and Canada.

We have become a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing proprietary medicines. Our activities focus on cancer treatments, but we also conduct select programs in inflammatory diseases.

The ability of monoclonal antibodies to bind to specific antigens on tumors or activate the immune system against cancer to unleash a therapeutic effect in patients has led to their dominant role in targeted cancer therapies. According to the report "2021 Global Oncology Trends" published by the IQVIA Institute, the surge in innovation treatments in recent years, accompanied by a strong focus across health systems to increase early diagnosis and expanded patient access to treatments, has resulted in global spending on oncology drugs reaching US\$ 164 billion in 2020 and an estimated US\$ 269 billion by 2025 even as annual growth rates ease to about 10%. Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases affect millions of patients worldwide and impose an enormous social and economic burden.

MorphoSys' most advanced proprietary clinical programs are described in the Research and Development section.

Clinical-stage programs developed through partners are entirely under the control of our partners. These programs include not only those in our core area of oncology but also in indications where we have not established proprietary expertise. Programs, which are the most advanced, are outlined in the Research and Development section.

Influential Factors

Good public medical care is a political goal in many countries. The need for new forms of therapy is growing as a result of demographic change. Certain cost containment measures in Europe and the U.S. risk limiting access to innovation for patients and could slow the industry's investment in the development of new therapies.

Regulatory approval processes in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere are lengthy, time-consuming and largely unpredictable. Approvalrelated laws, regulations and policies and the type and amount of information necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a product candidate's clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions.

MorphoSys recognized the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems and society worldwide, as well as the resulting potential impact on preclinical and clinical programs, specifically clinical trials. In spring 2020, MorphoSys activated its existing business continuity plans to minimize any disruptions to ongoing operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to take the necessary actions to protect its employees. In addition, MorphoSys continuously monitors the situation as a whole as well as each clinical program individually and decides on the necessary course of action to ensure the safety of patients, personnel and other stakeholders, as well as on the collection of data. The Company makes adjustments where necessary to comply with regulatory, institutional and governmental requirements and guidelines related to COVID-19. The top priority is the safety of all clinical program participants and ensuring that the studies in which they participate are conducted in accordance with the study protocol. Despite the rapid changes in conditions worldwide and the potential impact they may have on clinical trials,

MorphoSys continues to work diligently to maintain its drug development plans. The continuation of the commercialization of Monjuvi had incorporated the use of digital channels. In addition, the sales and medical teams are using a combination of virtual and face-to-face communication to market Monjuvi, which enables them to take the right response to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.

MorphoSys continuously monitors the development of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of any new virus variants and decides on a case-by-case basis on the necessary course of action and measures to ensure the safety of employees and patients.

Patents

Our proprietary technologies and resulting drug candidates are our most valuable assets. It is therefore crucial to our success that we protect these assets with appropriate measures such as patents and patent applications. This is the only way we can exclusively utilize these assets and the reason our Intellectual Property (IP) department seeks out the most optimal strategy to protect our products and technologies. The rights of third parties are also actively monitored and respected.

Our core technologies form the basis of the Company's success. All our technologies are protected by numerous patent families. For our Ylanthia antibody library, patents have been granted in all major territories, including Europe, the U.S. and Asian markets. For other technologies, such as the dual targeting-based CyCAT concept, patents have been in-licensed to ensure we have freedom to act.

Our development programs are also protected by numerous patent families. In addition to patents protecting the drug candidates themselves, we have filed further patent applications that cover other aspects of the programs. The relevant patents for our development candidates otilimab (out-licensed to GSK) and felzartamab (out-licensed to I-Mab for China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) will not expire before 2026. This date does not take into account potential added protection of up to five years that could be gained through supplementary protection certificates or patent term extensions.

The main patents for pelabresib run until 2032 (U.S.) and 2031 (Europe), not including possible extension through supplemental protection certificates or term extensions. In addition, the use of pelabresib for the treatment of myelofibrosis is patent-protected in the U.S. until 2039.

The main patents for CPI-0209 have a term until 2039. Here, too, a possible extension through supplementary protection certificates or term extensions is not included.

The tafasitamab program is also protected by diverse patents. The core patents are scheduled to expire in 2029 (U.S.) and 2027 (Europe), without taking into account the additional protection of up to five years available through supplementary protection certificates or patent term extensions. A corresponding application for patent term extension (PTE) has been filed to extend the patent term in the U.S., while an application for a supplementary protection certificate (SPC) in Europe is being prepared based on the European approval and will be filed in early 2022. The patents for the tafasitamab program are being advanced in close coordination with our partner Incyte. Regulatory exclusivities are also in place for all development programs.

The programs that are co-developed with or for partner companies are also extensively patent-protected. Our patent department works closely with the relevant partners. The patents for these drug development programs have terms that far exceed the terms of the underlying technology patents. We also monitor our competitors' activities so we can take action when necessary.

In the 2021 financial year, we continued to reinforce the patent protection of our development programs and growing technology portfolio, which represent the core value drivers of our Company. We have more than 110 different proprietary patent families worldwide, in addition to the numerous patent families we are pursuing in collaboration with our partners.

Corporate Developments

In 2021, MorphoSys continuously monitored the development of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of new viral variants, and decided on a case-by-case basis the measures necessary to ensure the safety of employees and patients. This allowed MorphoSys to continue to maintain its drug development plans despite the rapidly changing conditions worldwide and their potential impact on clinical trials.

On January 6, 2021, MorphoSys announced the appointment of Sung Lee as the Company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective February 2, 2021. Mr. Lee has more than 20 years of financial leadership experience in the biopharmaceutical and technology businesses. As a member of the Management Board of MorphoSys AG, he is responsible for all financial areas of the Company. He is based in Planegg, Germany.

On May 19, 2021, MorphoSys AG's Annual General Meeting reelected Marc Cluzel, M.D., Ph.D., Sharon Curran and Krisja Vermeylen to the Company's Supervisory Board. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the 2021 Annual General Meeting was also held as a virtual meeting without the physical attendance of shareholders or their proxies and made available as an audio/ video broadcast on the Internet to registered shareholders.

Total Headcount of the MorphoSys Group (December 31) (Number)

On June 2, 2021, MorphoSys entered into an agreement with Constellation under which MorphoSys would acquire Constellation for US\$34.00 (€ 28.79) per share in cash, representing a total equity value of US\$ 1,635.2 million (€ 1,384.7 million). The transaction was unanimously approved by the Management and Supervisory Boards of MorphoSys and Constellation's Board of Directors. MorphoSys also announced it had entered into a financing agreement with Royalty Pharma in conjunction with the Constellation transaction.

On July 15, 2021, MorphoSys announced the successful completion of its all-cash tender offer, announced on June 2, 2021, to acquire all outstanding shares of Constellation for US\$ 34.00 per share, net in cash. 42,811,957 shares of Constellation were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offer, representing approximately 89% of Constellation's outstanding shares on the date of the tender offer's expiration. Under the terms of the merger agreement between Constellation, MorphoSys and MorphoSys Development Inc., all shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn were accepted for payment. MorphoSys immediately completed the acquisition of Constellation in a second step merger of MorphoSys Development Inc. with Constellation, resulting in Constellation surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MorphoSys.

On July 16, 2021, MorphoSys announced that the Management Board, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, had resolved an increase in the share capital of MorphoSys AG by issuing 1,337,552 new ordinary shares from Authorized Capital 2021-II. The capital increase excluded the preemptive rights of existing shareholders to enable the purchase of 1,337,552 new ordinary shares by Royalty Pharma. Following the capital increase, the new ordinary shares represented 3.9% of MorphoSys' registered share capital. The share purchase from Royalty Pharma totaling US\$ 100 million is part of the financing agreement with MorphoSys for the completed acquisition of Constellation. The agreement became effective upon the merger's closing on July 15, 2021.

On July 26, 2021, MorphoSys announced an update of its 2021 financial guidance as well as a reduction in financial liabilities. Based on its preliminary unaudited consolidated results for the first six months of 2021, MorphoSys updated the guidance for Group revenues to € 155 million to € 180 million (previously: € 150 million to € 200 million, published on March 15, 2021 and reiterated on May 5, 2021). The updated revenue guidance primarily reflected revised product sales expectations for Monjuvi. MorphoSys also updated its expected operating expenses, consisting of R&D, selling, general and administrative expenses, to a range of € 435 million to € 465 million (previously: € 355 million to € 385 million). R&D expenses were expected to account for 52–57% of the Group's operating expenses (previously: 45–50%), excluding one-time transaction-related costs. The updated guidance for Group operating expenses mainly reflected the acquisition of Constellation, which had been completed on July 15, 2021.

On November 9, 2021, MorphoSys announced the decision of Roland Wandeler, Ph.D., to step down as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Management Board member of MorphoSys, effective December 31, 2021, in order to pursue new opportunities. Following his departure, the ongoing management of the marketing and sales organization remain with General Manager Joe Horvat in the U.S., who reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer, Jean-Paul Kress, M.D.

Group Headcount Development

On December 31, 2021, the MorphoSys Group had 732 employees (December 31, 2020: 615). The MorphoSys Group employed an average of 678 employees in 2021 (2020: 564).

Of the current 732 employees, 7 worked in production, 504 in research and development, 127 in general and administrative positions and 94 in sales and marketing. All of these employees are based at our locations in Germany and the United States. We do not have collective wage agreements with our employees, and there were no employee strikes during the reporting year.

At the end of the reporting year 2021, our workforce comprised employees representing 43 different nationalities (2020: 39). ›› see figure 03 – Total Headcount of the MorphoSys Group (page 48) ›› see figure 04 – Employees By Gender (page 50)

To compete successfully for the top talent, MorphoSys conducts an annual comparison of the Company's compensation with that paid by other companies in the biotech industry and similar sectors and adjusts the salary structure when necessary. The remuneration system consists of fixed compensation and a variable annual bonus linked to the achievement of corporate targets. Individual targets promote the employees' personal development and the achievement of overriding corporate goals. A "spot bonus" is also awarded on the spot to employees for exceptional performance. This instrument was used frequently again to reward employees during the reporting year.

Macroeconomic and Sector-Specific Conditions

Changes in the Business Environment

In January 2022, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast that the global economy would grow by 4.4% for 2021 (report "World Economic Outlook Update January 2022"). Following from the IMF's previous report in October 2021, supply disruptions continued into the fourth quarter, hindering global manufacturing, especially in Europe and the United States. A resurgence in COVID-19 cases (particularly in Europe) also held back a broader recovery. Although there were signs of a global turnaround in November with a pickup in international trade and upside surprises for services activity and industrial production data, this only partially offset earlier declines.

The IMF's growth forecast for the advanced economies in 2021 was +5.0%, compared to a decline of 4.5% in 2020, and the forecast for the emerging and developing economies was +6.5% (2020: –2.0%). The IMF's forecast for growth in the euro area in 2021 was +5.2% (2020: –6.4%), compared to +2.7% for Germany (2020: –4.6%); +5.6% for the U.S. (2020: –3.4%); +8.1% for China (2020: +2.3%); +4.5% for Russia (2020: –2.7%) and +4.7% for Brazil (2020: –3.9%).

When managing its business activities, MorphoSys takes a number of potential macroeconomic risks and opportunities into consideration.

Currency Development

The EUR/USD exchange rate has fluctuated between 1.22 and 1.12 over the last year, currently around 1.12, with inflation expectations and interest rate differences being the main drivers, in addition to trade conflicts and ongoing geopolitical tensions.

The majority of our business transactions are conducted in euros and U.S. dollars. With the acquisition of Constellation we have significantly expanded our footprint in the US. Primarily driven by the additional ongoing clinical studies, U.S. dollar expenses are expected to exceed the U.S. dollar revenues for the next financial year. Therefore, strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, all other things remaining equal, would have a negative impact on our operating result. We manage this risk through various mechanisms, such as optimizing our U.S. dollar assets against our U.S. dollar liabilities and maintaining an adequate (currently around 20%) amount of U.S. dollars in our bank accounts.

Cost of sales increased from € 9.2 million in 2020 to € 32.2 million in 2021, mainly due to higher acquisition and manufacturing costs of inventories of € 12.6 million in 2021 (2020: € 5.6 million) and increased impairment, amortization and other expenses for intangible assets of € 7.4 million (2020: € 2.3 million). In the financial year 2021, there were no reversals of impairment losses due to a write-down to net realizable value recognized in previous years (2020: € 9.9 million).

Gross Profit

Gross Profit amounted to € 147.4 million in 2021 (2020: € 318.5 million). This decrease resulted first and foremost from revenues of € 255.8 million stemming from the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte in 2020.

Operating Expenses

In 2021, operating expenses increased by more than 100%, or € 355.2 million, to € 655.8 million compared to € 300.6 million in 2020. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by increased development activities, the inclusion of the operating expenses from Constellation beginning on July 15, 2021 of € 92.3 million, higher personnel costs, transaction costs related to the acquisition of Constellation and an impairment of goodwill.

Research and development expenses increased by 62%, or € 85.8 million, to € 225.2 million in the reporting year (2020: € 139.4 million). The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by expenses, partially related to the first time inclusion of Constellation, for external services for development activities and personnel costs.

In 2021, selling expenses amounted to € 121.5 million compared with € 107.7 million in 2020. The main items responsible for this increase were higher expenses for personnel and other sellingrelated costs.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by 52%, or € 26.9 million, from € 51.4 million in 2020 to € 78.3 million in 2021. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by higher expenses, related and unrelated to Constellation for external services and personnel costs. Embedded in G&A expenses are transaction-related costs due to the acquisition of Constellation. Total transaction costs in G&A were € 19.7 million.

Furthermore, operating expenses were negatively impacted by the recognition of an impairment of goodwill amounting to € 230.7 million (2020: € 2.1 million). For further details, please refer to the section "Impairment of goodwill". For transparency purposes current year's impairment was separately presented in operating result. Prior year numbers were adjusted accordingly, since the amount was previously presented as part of Research and Development expenses.

07 Monjuvi Product Sales (in million €)

In 2020, operating expenses increased by 79%, or € 132.8 million, from € 167.8 million in 2019 to € 300.6 million in 2020. An increase in research and development expenses, selling expenses and general and administrative expenses contributed to this development. Research and development expenses increased by 29%, or € 30.9 million, to € 139.4 million in 2020 (2019: € 108.4 million). In 2020, selling expenses amounted to € 107.7 million compared with € 22.7 million in 2019. The main items responsible for this increase were higher expenses for personnel and external services as the company prepared for the launch of Monjuvi in 2020. G&A expenses increased by 40%, or € 14.7 million, from € 36.7 million in 2019 to € 51.4 million in 2020, which was also largely due to increased personnel expenses and expenses for external services.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by 62%, or € 85.8 million, to € 225.2 million in 2021 (2020: € 139.4 million) mainly due to higher expenses for external laboratory services. Expenses for external laboratory services and legal and scientific consulting services increased from € 77.8 million in the previous year to € 131.5 million in the reporting year, mainly due to higher expenses for external laboratory services in connection with the development of tafasitamab and felzartamab. Research and Development expenses related to Constellation's lead compounds pelabresib, CPI-0209 and personnel were recorded for the first time starting from July 15, 2021 and onwards. Overall, personnel expenses were higher, rising from € 32.3 million in the previous year to € 65.9 million in the reporting year, partially driven by the addition of Constellation.

Expenses for intangible assets amounted to € 7.9 million in 2021 (2020: € 18.1 million). In 2020, these were influenced by impairment losses of € 11.7 million in connection with an impairment of the MOR107 in-process research and development program. Depreciation, amortization and other expenses for infrastructure increased from € 8.7 million in 2020 to 11.8 million in 2021, mainly due to higher lease expenses and utilities. Other expenses increased from € 2.5 million in 2020 to € 4.1 million in 2021. Expenses for consumables increased from € 3.2 million in the previous year to € 4.1 million in 2021.

In 2020, research and development expenses increased by 29%, or € 30.9 million, to € 139.4 million (2019: € 108.4 million). This increase was mainly the result of higher expenses for external laboratory services. Expenses for external laboratory services and legal and scientific consulting services increased from € 62.4 million in 2019 to € 77.8 million in 2020, mainly due to higher expenses for external laboratory services in connection with the development of tafasitamab. Personnel expenses were also higher, rising from € 28.5 million in 2019 to € 32.3 million in 2020.

Expenses for intangible assets amounted to € 18.1 million in 2020 (2019: € 5.6 million). In 2020, these were influenced by impairment losses of € 11.7 million in connection with an impairment of the MOR107 in-process research and development program. Depreciation, amortization and other expenses for infrastructure increased from € 5.9 million in 2019 to € 8.7 million in 2020, mainly due to higher expenses for insurance. Other expenses decreased from € 3.1 million in 2019 to € 2.5 million in 2020. Expenses for consumables increased from € 2.9 million in 2019 to € 3.2 million in 2020.

Selling

Selling expenses increased by 13%, or € 13.8 million, to € 121.5 million in 2021 (2020: € 107.7 million). The increase results mainly from higher personnel expenses (2021: € 63.5 million; 2020: € 52.8 million) and other operating costs (2021: € 5.7 million; 2020; € 3.4 million). The personnel expenses increased by € 10.7 million to € 63.5 million in 2021 due to the full year impact of marketing activities for Monjuvi. Other operating costs primarily increased due to database subscriptions. Additional selling expenses of € 1.3 million related to Constellation were recorded since the acquisition date.

In 2020, selling expenses increased by more than 100% or € 85.1 million to € 107.7 million (2019: € 22.7 million). This was mainly due to higher expenses for external services and personnel expenses. The expenses for external services increased by € 36.4 million to € 50.7 million in 2020 due to the commercialization of Monjuvi (2019: € 14.3 million). Personnel expenses increased to € 52.8 million (2019: € 6.8 million) due to the marketing activities for Monjuvi.

General and Administrative (G&A)

G&A expenses increased by 52%, or € 26.9 million, in 2021 and amounted to € 78.3 million (2020: € 51.4 million). The year-overyear increase was mainly driven by higher expenses, partially related Constellation inclusion, for external services and personnel costs. Embedded in G&A expenses were transaction related costs due to the acquisition of Constellation. Total transaction costs in G&A were € 19.7 million. Costs relating to the acquisition of Constellation were the main driver for the increase from € 15.6 million in the previous year to € 35.9 million of external services in the reporting year. Personnel expenses increased from € 29.9 million in the previous year to € 32.6 million in the reporting year. Higher expenses for salaries, retention and severance payments were primarily responsible for this increase, which was partially offset by lower deferred compensation expenses. Depreciation, amortization and other expenses for infrastructure increased from € 4.1 million in the previous year to € 6.9 million in 2021, mainly resulting from increased insurance costs.

08 Selected R&D Expenses (December 31) (in million €)

G&A expenses increased by 40%, or € 14.7 million, in 2020 and amounted to € 51.4 million (2019: € 36.7 million). The main reasons for this increase were higher personnel expenses and expenses for external services. Personnel expenses increased from € 22.6 million in 2019 to € 29.9 million in 2020. Higher expenses for salaries were primarily responsible for this increase. Expenses for external services increased from € 10.0 million in 2019 to € 15.6 million in 2020, which was particularly related to the commercialization of Monjuvi. Other expenses decreased from € 1.9 million in 2019 to € 1.3 million in 2020, mainly due to lower travel expenses.

Impairment of Goodwill

Goodwill resulting from the Constellation acquisition are comprised of assets which are not separately recognizable, such as workforce, preclinical studies, increasing probabilities of success rates for clinical stage assets, market share, access to new indications as well as the Constellation epigenetics platform (early pipeline).

services)

MorphoSys decided to focus its research efforts on the most advanced discovery and technology programs and also to centralize all laboratory activities at its German research hub in Planegg, Germany.

Consequently, all US-based activities relating to discovery biology and drug discovery departments were abandoned. Therefore, any early pipeline projects cannot be realized anymore and the expected cash flows from these projects will not materialize accordingly. Since the early pipeline was part of the goodwill acquired as of July 15, 2021, an impairment test was performed as of December 31, 2021, based on the latest cashflow projections, which resulted in a need for impairment on the goodwill in the amount of € 230.7 million.

In 2020, an impairment of goodwill in the amount of € 2.1 million was recorded on the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Sloning BioTechnology GmbH in 2010.

For transparency purposes current year's impairment was separately presented in the operating result. Prior year numbers were adjusted accordingly since the amount was previously presented as part of Research and Development expenses.

Other Income

Other income decreased by 44%, or € 6.4 million, to € 8.2 million in the reporting year (2020: € 14.6 million) and mainly resulted from exchange rate gains of € 7.6 million (2020: € 13.7 million). Other income increased by more than 100%, or € 13.8 million, to € 14.6 million in 2020 (2019: € 0.8 million) and mainly resulted from exchange rate gains from operating activities of € 13.7 million (2019: € 0.2 million). In 2020, one-off gains from the disposal of the Lanthio companies amounted to € 0.4 million

Other Expenses

In the 2021 reporting year, other expenses increased by 23%, or € 1.2 million, from € 5.2 million in 2020 to € 6.4 million in 2021. This increase was mainly the result of currency losses of € 5.9 million (2020: € 4.6 million) and other expenses of € 0.4 million (2020: € 0.6 million).

Other expenses increased by more than 100%, or € 4.5 million, from € 0.6 million in 2019 to € 5.2 million in 2020. This increase was mainly the result of currency losses of € 4.6 million (2019: € 0.4 million) and other expenses of € 0.6 million (2019: € 0.2 million).

Finance Income

Finance income increased by 5%, or € 4.6 million, to € 96.6 million in the reporting year (2020: € 92.0 million) and resulted from items amounting to € 75.7 million (2020: € 82.0 million) in connection with the changes in plan assumptions of financial assets and financial liabilities from collaborations. These items included effects from differences between planning assumptions and actual figures and the fair value measurement (refer to Note 5.18* titled "Financial Assets and Liabilities from Collaborations" contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Also included is finance income from the investment of cash and cash equivalents and foreign currency translation gains from investing of funds amounting to € 20.9 million (2020: € 9.4 million). No income from financial derivatives was recognized in 2021 (2020: € 0.7 million).

Finance income increased by more than 100%, or € 89.2 million, to € 92.0 million in 2020 (2019: € 2.8 million) and resulted from items amounting to € 82.0 million (2019: € 0 million) in connection with the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities from collaborations. These items included effects from currency translation and fair value measurement (refer to Note 5.18* titled "Financial Assets and Liabilities from Collaborations" contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Also included is finance income from the investment of cash and cash equivalents and foreign currency translation gains from investing of funds amounting to € 9.4 million (2019: € 1.3 million). Income of € 0.7 million (2019: € 1.5 million) from financial derivatives was also recognized.

* cross-reference to page 143

Finance Expenses

Finance expenses increased by 89%, or € 85.2 million, to € 181.5 million in the reporting year (2020: € 96.2 million). This increase was mainly due to the effects from Financial Liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma of € 94.7 million (2020: € 0) resulting from differences between planning assumptions and actual figures, foreign currency effects and the application of the effective interest method (also refer to note 5.19* "Financial Liabilities from Future Payments to Royalty Pharma" contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Furthermore, the finance expense effects from Financial Liabilities from Collaborations of € 59.7 million (2020: € 45.4 million), specifically from the fx revaluation effects as well as the application of the effective interest method, contributed to the increase (refer to Note 5.18* titled "Financial Assets and Liabilities from Collaborations" contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Furthermore, this line item included finance expenses from the investment of cash and cash equivalents and foreign currency translation losses from financing activities of € 11.4 million (2020: € 46.1 million). This included losses of € 3.5 million (2020: € 5.0 million) from financial derivatives. Other finance expenses amounted to € 15.6 million (2020: € 4.6 million) in 2021, mainly relating to interest on the convertible bond issued in October 2020 in the amount of € 12.1 million (2020: € 2.5 million) as well as € 1.2 million (2020: € 1.2 million) in interest expenses from the compounding of non-current lease liabilities were also recognized in the reporting year.

Finance expenses increased by more than 100%, or € 93.9 million, to € 96.2 million in 2020 (2019: € 2.3 million). This increase was mainly due to the effects of financial assets and financial liabilities from collaborations of € 45.4 million (2019: € 0 million) and specifically from the difference in the planning assumptions versus the actual results. The application of the effective interest method and foreign currency valuation (refer to Note 5.18* "Financial Assets and Liabilities from Collaborations" contained in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) also contributed to the increase. Furthermore, this line item included finance expenses from the investment of cash and cash equivalents and foreign currency translation losses from financing activities of € 46.1 million (2019: € 1.0 million). This included losses of € 5.0 million (2019: € 0.2 million) from financial derivatives. € 1.2 million (2019: € 0.9 million) in interest expenses from the compounding of non-current lease liabilities were also recognized in 2020.

Income Tax Expenses

The Group recorded total income tax benefits of € 76.6 million in 2021 (2020: income tax benefits of € 75.4 million), which consisted of current tax income of € 1.2 million, mainly due to a loss carry back, (2020: expense € 67.1 million) and deferred tax income of € 75.4 million (2020: € 142.5 million ). The effective income tax rate equaled 13% in the reporting year (2020: (335.2)%). The difference compared to the expected tax rate of 26.7% is primarily due to the non-recognition of deferred tax assets on temporary differences and current year tax losses for the US tax group, whereas in 2020 the variance between effective and expected tax rate was mainly due to the recognition of deferred tax assets on prior year losses and temporary differences.

Consolidated Net Profit/Loss For The Period

In 2021, the consolidated net loss amounted to € 514.5 million (2020: consolidated net profit of € 97.9 million; 2019: consolidated net loss of € 103.0 million).

2 In 2018, selling expenses were presented for the first time. In order to provide comparative information for the previous year, the figures for 2017 were adjusted accordingly.

3 In 2021 Impairment of Goodwill was presented separately as part of operating expenses. The impairment of Goodwill of 2020 in the amount of € 2.1 million was therefore also reclassified from expenses for Research and Development.

4 In financial year 2021, EBIT was no longer reported as part of the income statement, as this key figure is no longer used to manage the company.

5 Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same in each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017, because the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and convertible bonds would be anti-dilutive due to our consolidated net loss in the respective period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Funding

We have funded our operations primarily through cash proceeds from ongoing business operations, including upfront fees, milestone payments, license fees, royalties, and service fees from strategic partners and government grants.

The acquisition of Constellation also triggered the enforcement of the royalty purchase agreement and the revenue participation agreement with Royalty Pharma on July 15, 2021. The agreements primarily serve to finance the acquisition of Constellation and to further develop the MorphoSys and Constellation product pipelines.

Under the terms of the agreements, Royalty Pharma made a non-refundable payment of US\$1,425.0 million (equivalent to €1,206.7 million) to MorphoSys. In addition, a contingent purchase price payment from Royalty Pharma to MorphoSys of up to US\$100.0 million (€84.7 million) was agreed, which is subject to the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones for otilimab from GSK, gantenumerab from Roche and pelabresib from Constellation.

In return, MorphoSys has agreed in the royalty purchase agreement to pass on the following to Royalty Pharma: 100% of MorphoSys' entitlement since April 1, 2021, for royalties from net sales of Tremfya from Janssen, 80% of future royalties as well as 100% of the future milestone payments for otilimab from GSK and 60% of future royalties for gantenerumab from Roche. Constellation will pass on 3% of future net sales of clinical-stage compounds (pelabresib and CPI-0209) to Royalty Pharma based on the revenue participation agreement. If revenues based on net sales of pelabresib exceed US\$ 30.0 million (€ 25.4 million) in any fiscal year, an additional purchase price of US\$50.0 million (€42.3 million) will be due. However, the rights to the underlying intellectual property of pelabresib and CPI-0209 will remain with MorphoSys.

The future license income in the form of royalties and milestones of Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab and of shares of future net sales of the product candidates pelabresib and CPI-0209 will not result in a cash inflow and outflow at MorphoSys, as the agreed royalty percentages and milestones are paid directly by Janssen, GSK and Roche to Royalty Pharma. The associated royalties, milestones and net sales will still be presented as revenues in MorphoSys profit or loss statement.

On July 15, 2021, the development funding bond agreement with Royalty Pharma became effective. Under the terms of this agreement, MorphoSys must draw at least US\$150.0 million (equivalent to €127.0 million) and can draw down a maximum of US\$350.0 million (equivalent to €296.4 million) within one year. Repayment will be made at 2.2 times the amount drawn according to a fixed payment schedule within ten years and nine months after the first drawdown without any repayment in the first two years after a drawdown. To date, no partial amount of the bond has been called.

Cash and Other Financial Assets (previously referred to as "Liquidity") is defined as the sum of the balance sheet items "cash and cash equivalents" and "other financial assets".

On December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 123.2 million and other financial assets amounted to € 853.7 million. On December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 109.8 million and other financial assets amounted to € 937.7 million.

Cash in excess of immediate working capital requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. Investments are primarily made in money market funds, corporate bonds and term deposits with fixed or variable interest.

Our functional currency is the euro. Nevertheless, we have liquidity in U.S. dollars, which could lead to exchange rate gains or losses in our financial results depending on the fluctuation of the euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate.

We are not subject to any operating covenants or capital requirements.

Uses of Funding

We primarily use cash and other financial assets to fund the research and development costs related to the development of our product candidates and to commercialize Monjuvi. Our primary future funding requirements include the development and commercialization of our proprietary clinical pipeline, particularly in relation to tafasitamab and pelabresib and, to a lesser extent, felzartamab and CPI-0209.

We believe that we have sufficient existing cash and other financial assets (including cash invested in various financial assets as described above) to cover our expected operating expenses for at least the next twelve months.

We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and it is possible that we may utilize our capital resources more quickly than anticipated. The process of investigating product candidates in clinical trials and their commercialization is fundamentally an expensive process. Both the timing and progress of development trials as well as the success of commercialization cannot be predicted with certainty.

As our product candidates are in various stages of development and the outcome of our activities is uncertain, we cannot estimate the amounts required in their entirety to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

Additional capital may be required in the short term to implement our various projects, particularly proprietary development programs, as well as in-licensing and potential M&A transactions. If we cannot generate revenue quickly enough to cover pipeline developments, we may rely in the short to medium term on nondilutive capital measures such as out-licensing for financing. Generally, we take public and private equity and bond issues, including convertible bonds, into consideration when funding our future financing needs. Additional capital may not be available at reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. If we issue debt or equity instruments to raise additional capital, it may result in the dilution of our existing shareholders, increase our fixed payment obligations, or result in securities that have rights senior to those of our ordinary shares or ADSs. If we incur debt, we could become subject to covenants restricting our operations and potentially impairing our competitiveness, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights or other operational restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct business.

Cash Flows

Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Operating Activities

In 2021, net cash used by operating activities amounted to € 481.4 million and was mainly attributable to the consolidated net loss of € 514.5 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities, including income taxes paid, totaling € 177.6 million. This was offset by non-cash items totaling € 210.6 million. The consolidated net loss of € 514.5 million resulted mainly from expenses incurred to finance MorphoSys' ongoing operations, specifically cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Prior year's net profit resulted mainly from revenues from the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte, which was not recurring in 2021. Non-cash items included mainly income tax benefits in the amount of € 76.6 million (2020: € 75.4 million) and the net change in financial assets / liabilities from collaborations in the amount of € 16.0 million (2020: € 36.6 million). These were offset by the net change in financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma in the amount of € 42.8 million (2020: € 0), scheduled depreciation and amortization as well as impairments of tangible and intangible assets and right-of-use assets amounting to € 246.0 million (2020: € 24.8 million) and the full year non cash effective change of bonds amounting to € 12.1 million (2020: € 2.5 million). Changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2021 mainly included an increase in inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets of € 30.3 million (2020: increase of € 8.5 million), partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of € 10.5 million (2020: decrease of € 69.6 million). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by € 90.8 million (2020: increase of € 77.5 million). The main reason for this decline relates to accounts payable and accrued expenses of Constellation, which were included for the first time due to the acquisition on July 15, 2021. The accrued expenses and accounts payable of Constellation mainly comprised share-based payment obligations to Constellation's employees that became due on the date of the acquisition by MorphoSys as well as accrued transaction costs. Their subsequent payment in 2021 led to the decrease presented in this cash flow item. The year-on-year decrease in accounts receivable was mainly due to lower outstanding receivables at the end of the year 2021. The increase in inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets was due in particular to the higher inventories for the commercialization of Monjuvi in the U.S. Furthermore, MorphoSys paid € 64.6 million of income taxes in financial year 2021 due to net profit in 2020 (2020: € 0.3 million).

In the previous year, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to € 35.3 million and was mainly attributable to the consolidated net profit of € 97.9 million. This was offset by noncash income totaling € 62.6 million. The consolidated net profit of € 97.9 million resulted mainly from revenues from the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte, which was largely offset by expenses incurred to finance MorphoSys' ongoing operations, specifically cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Non-cash income included income tax benefits in the amount of € 75.4 million, income from the reversal of impairment of inventory in the amount of € 13.3 million related to the receipt of regulatory approval for Monjuvi and the net change in financial assets /liabilities from collaborations in the amount of € 36.6 million. These were offset by scheduled and unscheduled depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets and rights of use amounting to € 24.8 million, net losses from other financial assets amounting to € 21.8 million, net losses from derivative financial instruments amounting to € 4.3 million and expenses for sharebased incentive programs amounting to € 9.0 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities in 2020 mainly included an increase in accounts receivable of € 69.6 million and in inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets of € 8.5 million. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by € 77.5 million. The year-over-year increase in accounts receivable was mainly due to lower outstanding receivables at the end of the year. The increase in inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets was due in particular to the recognition of inventories as a result of the marketing authorization for Monjuvi in the U.S. The increase in external laboratory services outstanding at yearend, in particular related to tafasitamab, was the main reason for the higher trade payables and accrued liabilities.

In 2019, the net cash used in operating activities amounted to € 81.1 million, primarily driven by the consolidated net loss of € 103.0 million, which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of € 9.5 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities and taxes paid of € 12.4 million. The consolidated net loss of € 103.0 million was largely due to expenses we incurred to fund our ongoing operations, particularly the cost of sales, research and development expenses, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. The main contributors to non-cash charges were expenses for share-based payment of € 6.7 million and depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets and of right-of-use assets of € 6.2 million, offset by income tax benefits of € 3.5 million. Changes in operating assets and liabilities for 2019 consisted primarily of an increase in accounts payable and accruals by € 13.2 million as well as a decrease in accounts receivable by € 2.7 million. This was offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets by € 4.4 million. The increase in external laboratory services outstanding at the end of 2019, primarily related to tafasitamab, was the primary driver of the higher trade payables and accrued liabilities. The contract liability incurred during the year was largely related to prepayments received from contract partners. The decrease in accounts

receivable was due to a comparatively lower level of receivables outstanding at year-end 2019. The increase in prepaid expenses and other assets stemmed mainly from higher prepayments and higher receivables due from tax authorities from input tax surplus.

Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities

In 2021, net cash used in investing activities amounted to € 831.0 million, primarily driven by payments to acquire other financial assets amounting to € 2,188.3 million. These were offset by proceeds from the sale of other financial assets amounting to € 2,592.0 million. This net cash outflow from investing activities was mainly due to a shift in the composition of our investment portfolio, as securities matured and were sold and new, comparable securities were acquired. The cash outflow relating to the acquisition of 100% shares in Constellation, net of acquired cash, in 2021 amounted to € 1,206.6 million. In addition, € 22.3 million was used for the acquisition of intangible assets in 2021.

In 2020, net cash used in investing activities amounted to € 879.6 million, primarily driven by payments to acquire other financial assets amounting to € 1,745.7 million. These were offset by proceeds from the sale of other financial assets amounting to € 900.8 million. The cash outflow from investing activities was mainly due to a shift in the composition of our investment portfolio, as securities matured and were sold and new, comparable securities were acquired. In addition, € 44.9 million was used for the acquisition of intangible assets in 2020.

In 2019, net cash provided by investing activities was € 79.5 million, primarily driven by proceeds from the sale of other financial assets in the amount of € 371.9 million, partially offset by the purchase of other financial assets in the amount of € 274.8 million. Cash provided by investing activities primarily related to shifts in the composition in our investment portfolio as financial assets matured and were sold and new, similar financial assets were purchased. Additionally, in 2019, € 15.0 million were used to purchase a minority interest of 13.4% in Vivoryon Therapeutics AG.

Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to € 1,322.9 million in 2021 and consisted primarily of the cash receipts from the contracts with Royalty Pharma in the amount of € 1,206.7 million and the proceeds from the issuance of shares of € 84.7 million to Royalty Pharma as well as proceeds of € 40.0 million from financing collaborations from Incyte.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to € 907.2 million in 2020 and consisted primarily of proceeds in the amount of € 80.6 million from the issuance of shares, as well as proceeds of € 510.2 million from financing collaborations, both in connection with the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte. Further proceeds came from the issuance of convertible bonds in the amount of € 319.9 million, which were partially offset by lease payments of € 2.8 million and interest payments of € 1.4 million.

In 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was € 0.4 million and mainly related to proceeds from the exercise of convertible bonds by related parties in the amount of € 3.7 million offset by lease and interest payments in the amount of € 3.4 million.

Investments

In 2021, MorphoSys invested € 3.7 million in property, plant and equipment (2020: € 4.3 million), mainly laboratory equipment (i.e., machinery) and tenant fixtures. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in 2021 increased to € 2.8 million (2020: € 2.5 million).

MorphoSys invested € 22.5 million in intangible assets in the reporting year (2020: € 44.9 million). Of this amount, € 11.5 million was spent on internally generated intangible assets and € 10.4 million on in-process R&D programs. Amortization of intangible assets amounted to € 3.6 million in 2021 (2020: € 2.2 million). In 2020, impairment losses of € 14.0 million were recognized on intangible assets, thereof € 11.7 million on in-process R&D programs.

In the course of the acquisition of Constellation in 2021, MorphoSys acquired € 719.4 million in intangible assets and € 1.6 million in property, plant and equipment.

Net Assets

Assets

At € 2,556.3 million, total assets as of December 31, 2021 were € 896.7 million higher compared to December 31, 2020 (€ 1,659.5 million). Current assets decreased by € 73.8 million to € 1,133.0 million. This change was mainly due to the decrease in other financial assets, related to the financing of the acquisition of Constellation as well as the decline of financial assets from collaborations. This was partially set off by the increase of prepayments and other assets, cash and cash equivalents as well as inventories mainly of Monjuvi for sale in the U.S. Other financial assets amounted to € 853.7 million (December 31, 2020: € 937.7 million), which was primarily invested in term deposits with fixed or variable interest rates and in money market funds.

Non-current assets changed from a balance of € 452.7 million as of December 31, 2020 to € 1,423.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The majority of the increase was driven by an increase in intangible assets by € 768.9 million to a balance of € 838.3 million as of December 31, 2021. This increase resulted from the allocation of consideration to the in-process R&D programs of Constellation. Furthermore, internally generated intangible assets in connection with the development of tafasitamab of € 11.5 million as of December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: € 0) were capitalized. As of December 31, 2021, goodwill amounted to € 335.6 million (December 31, 2020: € 1.6 million) and is mainly attributable to goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation of the Constellation acquisition. At the end of the 2021 financial year, an impairment test identified the need to recognize an impairment loss on the goodwill of Constellation in the amount of € 230.7 million. Please refer to the section "Impairment of Goodwill".

In contrast, the long-term other financial assets were completely shifted to short-term other financial assets and therefore the balance sheet line item decreased from € 196.6 million as of December 31, 2020 to € 0 as of December 31, 2021.

In addition, "deferred tax assets" in the amount of € 186.5 million were recognized, largely as a result of capitalizing deferred tax benefits on current period tax losses.

Liabilities

Current liabilities increased from € 200.5 million in the prior year to € 284.5 million as of December 31, 2021, mainly as a result of € 59.5 million increase in the line item "accounts payable and accruals" and of first-time recognition of the current portion of liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma of € 88.4 million (see section 5.19 "Financial Liabilities from Future Payments to Royalty Pharma" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In contrast, the tax liabilities were reduced by € 65.2 million to € 0.5 million as of December 31, 2021 mainly due to the settlement of income taxes for 2020 in Germany.

Non-current liabilities (December 31, 2021: € 2,026.8 million; December 31, 2020: € 837.7 million) increased primarily as a result of the first-time recognition of the line item "financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma" in the amount of € 1,167.8 million as of December 31, 2021 from the sale of future royalties and the revenue participation agreement with Royalty Pharma. Deferred tax liabilities amounted to € 22.1 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to € 5.1 million as of December 31, 2020. The carrying amount of the convertible bond issued in October 2020 was € 282.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The long-term portion of the financial liabilities from collaborations declined from € 516.4 million ending 2020 to € 513.3 million as of December 31, 2021.

Stockholders' Equity

As of December 31, 2021, Group equity totaled € 244.9 million compared to € 621.3 million on December 31, 2020. The Company's equity ratio as of December 31, 2021 amounted to 10% compared to 37% on December 31, 2020. This decrease in the equity ratio resulted mainly from the first-time recognition of a financial liability from future payments to Royalty Pharma in 2021 under the royalty purchase agreement and the revenue participation agreement with Royalty Pharma as well as the consolidated net loss of the financial year 2021, which was mainly influenced by the impairment of goodwill.

The number of shares issued totaled 34,231,943 as of December 31, 2021, of which 34,148,789 shares were outstanding (December 31, 2020: 32,890,046 shares issued and 32,758,632 shares outstanding). Common stock was higher as a result of the purchase of 1,337,552 shares by Royalty Pharma, as well as the exercise of 4,345 stock options from employees.

On December 31, 2021, the Company held 83,154 treasury shares with a value of € 3,085,054 – a decrease of € 1,783,690 compared to December 31, 2020 (131,414 shares, € 4,868,744). The reason for this decrease was the transfer of 45,891 treasury shares amounting to € 1,696,131 to the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries) from the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan). The vesting period for this LTI Plan expired on April 1, 2021 and offered beneficiaries a six-month period until October 13, 2021 to receive a total of 45,891 shares. In addition, 2,369 treasury shares for an amount of € 87,558 from the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan were transferred to certain employees of MorphoSys US Inc.

The Management Board's General Assessment of Business Performance

The 2021 financial year was a transformative year for MorphoSys and its employees. We worked together to transform MorphoSys from a research partner to the pharmaceutical industry into a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company. As part of this process, the corporate activities in 2021 focused on three important areas:

• Executing on the commercialization of Monjuvi in the U.S.
• Expanding the development pipeline by acquiring Constellation
• Advancing the clinical development of our proprietary product candidates

The co-commercialization of tafasitamab with Incyte in the U.S. gained momentum during the year after headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter. The number of prescribing health centers grew steadily through the year, treating approximately 2,000 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) since launch in August 2020. Monjuvi's net product sales for full-year 2021 equaled US\$ 79.1 million.

Further milestones were also achieved with tafasitamab. In August, Health Canada granted conditional marketing approval for Minjuvi (tafasitamab) in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The European Commission also granted conditional marketing approval for Minjuvi (tafasitamab) in combination with lenalidomide, followed by monotherapy with tafasitamab, for the treatment of adult DLBCL patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).

With the completion of the Constellation acquisition in mid-July 2021, MorphoSys strengthened its position in hematology/oncology. Constellation's lead product candidate, pelabresib (CPI-0610), a BET inhibitor, is currently in a phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF). Following the acquisition by MorphoSys, improvements were made to the study design of the phase 3 trial, and measures were taken to accelerate recruitment.

In December 2021, MorphoSys presented the latest data from the MANIFEST phase 2 study evaluating the potential of pelabresib in the treatment of myelofibrosis at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology. These data supported the further development of pelabresib in combination with ruxolitinib in MANIFEST-2, a global, phase 3, randomized, double-blind study in JAK-inhibitor-naïve MF patients.

The following advances were made in our proprietary clinical development programs during the financial year:

In January 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted orphan drug designation to tafasitamab for the treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL), with the first patient dosed in the phase 3 inMIND study in April 2021. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of tafasitamab compared to placebo in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL).

In 2021, the phase 1b firstMIND study of tafasitamab, initiated in December 2019, continued as planned. The study is evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of tafasitamab in combination with R-CHOP compared to tafasitamab and lenalidomide in addition to R-CHOP in adult patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated DLBCL.

In May 2021, the first patient was dosed in the pivotal phase 3 frontMIND study. The study is evaluating tafasitamab plus lenalidomide in combination with R-CHOP compared to R-CHOP as first-line treatment for patients in moderate to high-risk groups with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

In June 2021, three-year results from the phase 2 L-MIND trial of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL were presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

MorphoSys and Incyte presented real-world evidence results in December from the RE-MIND2 study of tafasitamab (Monjuvi) in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting (ASH 2021). RE-MIND2 compares outcomes of patients from the pivotal L-MIND trial to comparable patient populations treated with NCCN/ESMO recommended therapies. The results of the retrospective cohort analysis showed a significant improvement in overall survival compared to pola-BR and R2, two other treatments for DLBCL, and should further increase Monjuvi's acceptance among treating doctors and patients.

The CD38 antibody felzartamab, a proprietary development based on our HuCAL antibody technology, could be used against autoimmune diseases, among others. In the first half of 2021, first data from the phase 1/2 M-PLACE (proof-of-concept) study in membranous nephropathy (MN) were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Nephrology. In this study, felzartamab demonstrated the potential to rapidly and significantly reduce anti-PLA2R antibody levels in patients with anti-PLA2R-antibody positive membranous nephropathy.

In October 2021, the first patient was treated in a new phase 2 trial (IGNAZ) evaluating felzartamab in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). IgAN is a chronic and debilitating autoimmune disease that affects the kidneys and is the most common glomerular disease worldwide.

In conclusion, MorphoSys made major strides forward in advancing its business during 2021. This included the first full year of commercializing Monjuvi in the U.S. with our partner Incyte, while working together to further broaden the opportunity for this important product via new market approvals and clinical trials in areas beyond the lead indication. We completed a transformative M&A deal, acquiring Constellation to grow our latestage oncology pipeline with compelling product candidates that fit well with our existing pipeline, which we also moved forward during the year. We are well positioned to continue to advance and grow our business in the months and years ahead.

In the 2021 financial year, Group revenues amounted to € 179.6 million. Revenues consisted primarily of € 66.9 million in revenues from Monjuvi U.S. sales and royalty revenues from Tremfya in the amount of € 65.6 million. In the 2021 financial year, operating expenses were recognized in the amount of € 655.8 million, of which 34% accounted for research and development. Cash used in operating activities amounted to € 481.4 million, mainly as a result of the consolidated net loss. Our cash and investments of € 976.9 million are a confirmation of the strength of the Company's financial resources.

MorphoSys recognized the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems and society worldwide, as well as the resulting potential impact on preclinical and clinical programs, specifically clinical trials. In spring 2020, MorphoSys activated its existing business continuity plans to minimize any disruptions to ongoing operations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to take the necessary actions to protect its employees. In addition, MorphoSys continuously monitors the situation as a whole as well as each clinical program individually and decides on the necessary course of action to ensure the safety of patients, personnel and other stakeholders, as well as on the collection of data.

Outlook and Forecast

Outlook and Forecast

The acquisition of Constellation was an important step on MorphoSys' path to becoming a leading biopharmaceutical company in hematology/oncology. To be successful, MorphoSys must rapidly develop new therapies with first-in-class and/or best-inclass potential and make them available to patients. In order to accomplish this, MorphoSys plans to prioritize its capital allocation to late stage clinical studies.

MorphoSys' own development activities focus mainly on therapies for the treatment of blood cancers, which the Company intends to bring to market maturity and commercialize. Other drug candidates, such as felzartamab, which MorphoSys is currently testing in clinical trials for autoimmune diseases, could be further developed with partners or fully out-licensed due to its focus on hematology/oncology.

General Statement on Expected Development

MorphoSys has defined three strategic value drivers:

• Revenues from the commercialization of Monjuvi
• New marketing approvals for advanced drug candidates
• Further development of mid-stage drug candidates with the option to partner or out-license them

The Management Board expects the following to be among the developments taking place in 2022:

• Higher sales of Monjuvi in the U.S., with commercialization driven by the Company's own capabilities and its partner Incyte
• Expand Monjuvi to additional disease indications and advance proprietary clinical development of product candidates: pelabresib, felzartamab and CPI-0209

The expected developments and progress of the pipeline are presented in detail below in the section "Future Research and Development and Expected Business Performance."

Strategic Outlook

MorphoSys invests a significant portion of its financial resources in the clinical development of its own drug candidates. The Company is focused on diseases in the hematology/oncology area. The Management Board believes a focus on proprietary drug development and commercialization offers the best path to achieving a sustainable increase in the Company's value.

The Management Board has prioritized the further clinical development of tafasitamab and pelabresib as well as the financing of pivotal clinical trials. To this end, revenues from the commercialization of Monjuvi are expected to contribute as well as partnerships to leverage the full potential of the Company's own development candidates.

Increasing direct revenues from the commercialization of Monjuvi is a core component of MorphoSys' value creation strategy. Following the 2020 approval and launch of Monjuvi in the U.S., the processes are also underway for launches in Europe and Canada through MorphoSys' partner Incyte. Additional regions are expected to follow, such as Switzerland, where Incyte could also commercialize tafasitamab, with MorphoSys entitled to royalties on sales.

MorphoSys and Incyte have also identified significant unmet medical need and commercial opportunities for tafasitamab outside of DLBCL in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The Management Board believes tafasitamab could offer considerable future potential, not only as a first-line therapy in DLBCL, but also in other indications such as r/r follicular lymphoma (FL) and r/r marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Tafasitamab could become the future backbone in DLBCL therapy and other therapies.

Pelabresib is viewed by the Management Board, as well as by leading medical experts, as a promising drug that may have the potential to fundamentally improve the treatment of myelofibrosis. In ongoing clinical trials, pelabresib is demonstrating that the mechanism of action of the BET inhibitor has significant ameliorative effects on all four major disease characteristics in myelofibrosis, such as spleen size, anemia, fibrosis of bone marrow and the patient's overall physical condition.

With felzartamab, MorphoSys has another proprietary development candidate in advanced clinical development studies in the field of autoimmune diseases. MorphoSys' focus on hematology/ oncology agents may lead to the Company choosing not to continue developing and commercializing felzartamab on its own but instead develop it further within the framework of a partnership or by out-licensing it to another company with expertise in the autoimmune field.

Partnerships can also help generate value through milestone payments and royalties in the event of market approval (revenue sharing). Partnered programs such as gantenerumab with Roche, felzartamab in multiple myeloma with I-Mab or otilimab with GSK are the next candidates that could reach the market.

In order to accomplish the overriding aim of being a leader in hematology/oncology, continually investing in the Company's further development is not only sensible, but also essential.

Expected Economic Development

In its January 2022 report, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected global economic growth of 4.4% in 2022, compared to 5.9% for the year 2021. According to the IMF, the global economy entered 2022 in a weaker position than previously expected. As the new COVID-19 variant Omicron has spread, countries have reimposed mobility restrictions. Additionally, rising energy prices and supply disruptions have resulted in higher and more broadbased inflation than anticipated, notably in the United States and many emerging markets and developing economies. Uncertainty remains for the year ahead. The emergence of new COVID-19 variants could prolong the pandemic and induce renewed economic disruptions. Moreover, supply chain disruptions, energy price volatility, and localized wage pressures translate into a high level of uncertainty around inflation and policy paths. Adding to the unknown, geopolitical tensions remain high, particularly with the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This conflict is expected to take a strong human and economic toll far beyond the Ukrainian border, particularly in Europe. Given these many challenges, international cooperation is critical, including developing an effective global health strategy to address the now two-year-old pandemic. Growth in advanced economies is anticipated to reach 3.9% in 2022, compared to 5.0% for 2021. The IMF expects growth in the euro area to be 3.9% in 2022 compared to 5.2% for 2021. Growth in Germany is anticipated to rise to 3.8% in 2022 (2021: 2.7%), and the IMF projection for U.S. economic growth in 2022 is 4.0% (2021: 5.6%). The IMF's 2022 growth forecast for emerging and developing countries is 4.8% (2021: 6.5%), and growth in China in the coming year is projected at 4.8% (2021: 8.1%). Russia's economy is anticipated to grow by 2.8% in 2022 (2021: 4.5%), and Brazil is expected to barely grow at 0.3% for 2022 (2021: 4.7%).

MorphoSys AG has implemented a business continuity plan to largely prevent the collapse of critical business processes and ensure their resumption in the case of a natural disaster, public health emergency such as the novel coronavirus, or other serious events. However, depending on the severity of the situation, it may be difficult or, in some cases, impossible to avoid an interruption in our business for a significant period of time. Our contingency plans for disaster recovery and business continuity may prove inadequate in the event of a serious disaster or similar event, and we may incur substantial costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Expected Development of the Life Sciences Sector

In mid-January 2022, BioCentury published an article "Valuations could get investors, acquirers hunting for opportunities," interviewing 15 investors and bankers to get their views on the year ahead. With biotech valuations beaten down in 2021 and a number of new companies debuting, investors believe there are plenty of buying opportunities heading into 2022. However, the IPO flow is predicted to slow as poor IPO performance translates to less crossover activity. The article reports that sentiment largely remains negative for the sector, but the low valuations could help change this. The conditions for M&A remain strong given the lower valuations and the large amounts of cash that large biopharma companies have on hand.

In a related article, "Buysiders eye 2022 as the year of immunooncology's next big act," investors indicated that cancer immunotherapy is poised for long-awaited breakthroughs in 2022, which promises a full slate of regulatory and clinical milestones that could reignite buysider excitement while drawing in generalists. Both checkpoint inhibitors as well as bispecific antibodies could emerge from a seven-year regulatory lull in 2022. Investors also expect interest in neurology — ignited by the Aduhelm (aducanumab) approval last year — to carry over into 2022, with multiple catalysts anticipated in this area.

The high level of innovation in the biotechnology sector is reflected in the number of new product approvals in 2021. Despite the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, 50 new compounds were approved by the U.S. FDA in 2021, down slightly from the 53 approved in 2020. In addition, there were ten Biologics License Application (BLA) approvals in 2021. In the EU, a record 52 new drugs and vaccines were authorized for marketing in 2021, compared to 42 in 2020. The record in 2021 was in part due to the approval of four new vaccines and three new therapeutics for COVID-19.

According to the report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), entitled: "Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences: Deals 2022 Outlook," M&A activity in 2022 is projected to be between US\$ 350–400 billion for the year, driven by all subsectors. This would be an increase compared to 2021, when the total value of deals was US\$ 269.4 billion, a 46% increase compared to 2020. Biotech deals in the range of US\$ 5 billion to US\$ 15 billion, combined with mid-sized pharma and medical device deals, are expected to drive significant investment money into M&A activity. PwC also predicts that the sector could see a large (US\$ 100 billion or higher) deal that is part of a "transact-to-transform" strategy. Tailwinds around the need to invest in growth as well as access to capital are expected to more than offset potential negative factors such as drug pricing, a recently active U.S. Federal Trade Commission agenda and tax rate increases.

Future Research and Development and Expected Business Performance

MorphoSys will continue to invest in research and development, with the majority of funds directed towards developing the Company's proprietary drug candidates tafasitamab, pelabresib, felzartamab and CPI-0209. Most of these funds will be used in the short to medium term for advancing the broad clinical development of tafasitamab and pelabresib. Investments aimed at identifying target molecules, developing the corresponding antibodies, and in technology are also possible.

The investments planned in proprietary drug candidates and technologies are expected to continue to lead to the progressive maturity of the pipeline's product candidates.

The following events and development activities, among others, are planned in 2022:

• First proof-of-concept data from the ongoing clinical phase 2 study of CPI-0209 in solid tumors and blood cancer;
• Additional data from the phase 1/2 M-PLACE (proof-of-concept) study of felzartamab for the treatment of anti-PLA2R-antibody positive membranous nephropathy (MN);
• First data from the phase 2 study (IGNAZ) to evaluate felzartamab in patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN);
• MorphoSys' partner Roche expects a pivotal data readout of the GRADUATE 1 and GRADUATE 2 trials with gantenerumab in the second half of 2022. Roche initiated these phase 3 development program for patients with Alzheimer's disease in 2018;
• Initiation of a combination study (in collaboration with Incyte and Xencor) of tafasitamab, plamotamab and lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), first-line DLBCL and relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL).

The following events and development activities, among others, are planned beyond 2022:

• The primary analysis data from the pivotal phase 3 study (inMIND) of tafasitamab in patients with indolent lymphoma (r/r FL/MZL) in the second half of 2023;
• The primary analysis data from the pivotal phase 3 study (MANIFEST-2) of pelabresib in myelofibrosis (MF) in the first half of 2024;
• The primary analysis data from the pivotal phase 3 study (frontMIND) of tafasitamab in previously untreated DLBCL in the second half of 2025.

We also expect individual product candidates developed by partners to continue to mature in programs where MorphoSys benefits from royalties and milestone payments if successful. Whether, when and to what extent any news is published after the studies' primary completion is solely at the discretion of our partners.

Expected Development of the Financial Position and Liquidity

MorphoSys transformed from a research- and technology-driven company to a commercial biopharmaceutical company with the launch of its first product in 2020. With the change in our business model and a certain degree of added complexity to our income statement from our partnership with Incyte and the agreement with Royalty Pharma, our focus is on the forecast parameters that are the most important to our external stakeholders. These parameters highlight our key business drivers: revenue growth from product sales, ongoing investment in expanding our pipeline, and supporting the launch of Monjuvi. In concrete terms, these parameters focus on Monjuvi's net sales in the U.S., the associated gross margin, and the R&D and SG&A expenses.

In the 2022 financial year, the Management Board expects Monjuvi's U.S. net product sales to range from US\$ 110 million to US\$ 135 million1 , accompanied by a gross margin of 75% to 80%. This revenue guidance does not include royalty income, milestone payments or other revenues from partners as these revenue sources are not under our direct control. Royalty revenues for the sales of Tremfya will be transferred to Royalty Pharma and will therefore not result in any cash inflow for MorphoSys. MorphoSys expects to receive royalties for Minjuvi sales outside the U.S., but does not provide a prognosis for this royalty stream as MorphoSys does not receive a sales forecast from its partner Incyte.

This guidance is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the potential for variability from Monjuvi, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and that of our partners.

In 2022, the Group expects R&D expenses to range from € 300 million to € 325 million. R&D expenses primarily represent our investments in the development of tafasitamab, pelabresib, felzartamab and CPI-0209. R&D expenses are expected to increase compared to the prior year predominantly due to investment in three late-stage studies. This increase is partly offset by the consolidation of research activities across the company. SG&A, including Incyte's share of Monjuvi's selling costs, are expected to range from € 155 million to € 170 million. This reflects savings from synergies after the acquisition from Constellation as well as a redefined commercial structure.

The overall guidance is subject to a number of uncertainties, including but not limited to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on MorphoSys' business.

Milestone payments and royalties related to the achievement of market maturity of HuCAL and Ylanthia antibodies could have an impact on the Company's net assets and financial position in the years ahead. Such events could lead to exceeding our financial targets. Failures in drug development could also have an adverse effect on the MorphoSys Group. Negative effects from another COVID-19-like pandemic or COVID-19 variants are also possible, and cannot be excluded. Revenue growth in the short to medium term will depend on the Company's ability to successfully continue to commercialize Monjuvi.

At the end of the 2021 financial year, MorphoSys had cash and investments of € 976.9 million (December 31, 2020: € 1,244.0 million). The liquid funds are predominantly required to finance and advance the development of the proprietary portfolio to key clinical milestones, including pivotal data readouts for tafasitamab and pelabresib.

Dividend

The separate financial statements of MorphoSys AG, prepared in accordance with German Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (German Commercial Code), show an accumulated deficit, which prevents the Company from distributing a dividend for the 2021 financial year. In view of the anticipated losses in 2022, the Company expects to continue to report an accumulated loss for the 2022 financial year. MorphoSys plans to invest further in the development of proprietary drugs and commercialization of Monjuvi. Based on these plans, MorphoSys does not expect to pay a dividend in the foreseeable future.

This outlook takes into account all known factors at the time of preparing this report and is based on the Management Board's assumptions about events that could affect the Company's business in 2022 and beyond. Future results may differ from the expectations described in the section "Outlook and Forecast." The most significant risks are described in the risk report.

Risk and Opportunity Report

Risk and Opportunity Report

We operate in an industry characterized by constant change and innovation. The challenges and opportunities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry are influenced by a variety of factors. Global demographic changes, medical advances and the desire to improve the quality of life offer excellent growth opportunities. Companies must also, however, grapple with the growing regulatory requirements in the areas of drug development and commercialization, as well as the cost pressures weighing on healthcare systems.

We make every effort to systematically identify new opportunities and leverage our business success to generate a sustainable increase in the Company's enterprise value. In our industry, entrepreneurial success is not achievable without conscious risktaking. Our integrated risk and opportunity management system identifies the relevant issues, assesses them and takes suitable action to avert threats so we can achieve our corporate objectives. A periodic strategy review ensures there is a balance between risks and opportunities. We assume a risk only when it involves an opportunity to increase the Company's value.

Principles of Integrated Risk and Opportunity Management

We continually encounter both risks and opportunities that could have a potential material impact on our net assets and financial position, as well as a direct effect on intangible assets, such as our image in the sector or our brand name.

We define risk as internal or external events that could have a direct adverse impact on the achievement of our corporate objectives. Opportunities represent positive deviations from our corporate planning and are in direct relation to risks. Our integrated risk and opportunity management system is therefore an integral part of our corporate governance practices and ensures adherence to the principles of good corporate governance and compliance with the regulatory requirements.

We have a comprehensive system in place to recognize, assess, communicate and manage our risks, and to identify our opportunities at an early stage. The Group-wide integrated risk and opportunity management system focuses on major risks which alone or in combination with other risks could potentially jeopardize the Company. Risks and opportunities that do not meet this criterion are deliberately excluded by the system and managed and monitored on a decentralized basis at the level of the respective organizational unit. The integrated risk and opportunity management system is described in a risk manual containing all the key elements of the process.

During the 2021 financial year, we continued to develop our risk and opportunity management system to better reflect the business model of an integrated biopharmaceutical company and our associated internationalization. Table 09* provides an overview of significant changes in comparison to prior years. * cross-reference to page 74

Organization of Integrated Risk and Opportunity Management

Our Management Board is responsible for the integrated risk and opportunity management system and ensures that all risks and opportunities are evaluated, monitored and presented in their entirety. The system's Group-wide coordination, implementation and further development are the responsibility of the central Global Risk Management function, which is part of the Group Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Department and reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer.

The Supervisory Board has tasked the Audit Committee with monitoring the effectiveness of our risk management system. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the entire Supervisory Board and the Management Board twice a year.

Risk ownership is generally assigned at the level of the respective Executive Committee member as well as to selected executives with overriding responsibility. This group is defined as "risk owners." As part of the integrated risk and opportunity management process, risk owners receive support from "risk agents." Risk agents are experienced employees and generally members of the Global Leadership Group. They identify the risks in their respective areas in close coordination with the central Global Risk Management function. The distinction between the responsibilities of risk owners and risk agents is based on MorphoSys' global management and operating model.

Supervision Reporting Global Risk Management Global Internal Controls Corporate Internal Audit Reporting Monitoring the eff ectiveness of the integrated CRM Performance of audit in line with audit plan As part of our integrated risk and opportunity management process, all our major risks are identified and assessed by the relevant departments and reported in a structured form to Global Risk Management. This routine process takes place twice a year as what is called a "risk run". For significant changes in material risks between the risk runs, the risk owners and risk agents are required to submit their respective reports to Global Risk Management via an ad hoc process. Various quality assurance measures have been implemented to ensure that the departments involved initially assess and record the risks as objectively as possible. These measures include a kick-off meeting to present the key aspects of the integrated risk and opportunity manual, as well as the close monitoring of the reporting process by Global Risk Management. After receiving the feedback from the risk agents, Global Risk Management carries out an initial review to identify the principal risks and highlight the interdependencies between identified risks. A workshop is held with selected risk agents in which the key risks and opportunities are calibrated based on the initial feedback and the key statements, and detailed in the report to the Management Board and supervisory bodies.

terms of content.

The risk assessment is derived from an evaluation of the risk's probability of occurrence and impact using a five-point scale, as shown in table 10*. In terms of impact, MorphoSys distinguishes between financial and non-financial impact. Financial impact is defined as a negative deviation from the budgeted operating result, whereby the impact on liquidity is equally considered for non-profit items. Both the short-term (12 months) and mediumterm (three years) financial impact is taken into consideration. Non-financial risks in our integrated opportunity and risk management system are circumstances and defined as those having no initial direct impact on the operating result or liquidity during the planning period, but still have a negative impact on the achievement of the Company's targets. Examples include the loss of reputation or key employees, both of which can have a sustained impact on the Company's potential for success. Another example specific to our industry is the impact of delays in patient recruitment for clinical trials. Such delays initially lead to lower costs, which from a purely mechanical standpoint represent an opportunity when compared to initial planning, but in the long term have a negative effect causing a delay in the development plan, which outweigh the short-term benefit of lower costs. In view of the increasing importance clinical programs have on the Company's value, we continued to evolve our integrated opportunity and risk management system in the reporting year to optimally reflect these Company- and industry-specific characteristics. The integrated opportunity and risk management system addresses both opportunities and risks of the MorphoSys Group, with systematic quantification and aggregation only for risks. * cross-reference to page 76

Accounting-Related Internal Control System

To ensure accurate bookkeeping and accounting and maintain reliable financial reporting in the consolidated financial statements and group management report, we use internal controls through our financial reporting, which we have expanded pursuant to the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX* 404), in addition to Group-wide reporting guidelines and other measures, such as employee training and ongoing professional education. This essential component of Group accounting consists of preventative, monitoring and detection measures intended to ensure adequate security and control in accounting and operating functions.

Description of Key Opportunities

Increasing life expectancy in industrialized countries and the changes in income and lifestyle in the emerging markets are expected to drive the demand for new and innovative treatments and advanced technologies. Progress in science and medicine has led to a better understanding of the biological processes of disease. This, in turn, paves the way for new therapeutic approaches in bi- and multispecific antibody development and other technology platforms.

Advanced antibody discovery and protein engineering technologies and a broad portfolio of validated clinical programs have made us one of the globally recognized biotechnology companies in the therapeutic antibody field. The class of monoclonal antibodies is one of today's most successful, top-selling therapies in cancers and immune diseases.

Our key opportunities are described in table 11 and ranked according to their expected potential value contribution and strategic relevance.

Table

11 Summary of MorphoSys' Key Opportunities

Opportunities

Full realization of pelabresib's potential in product development
Full realization of tafasitamab's potential in product development and commercialization
Further advancement of current phase 2 studies of felzartamab and CPI-0209
Additional income from milestones and royalties from partnered programs
Maximization of value proposition from promising investigational compounds

Full Realization of Pelabresib's Potential in Product Development

We believe pelabresib has the potential to become the standard of care in myelofibrosis. This assessment was underlined by the presentation of confirmatory phase 2 data (MANIFEST) at the American Society of Hematology conference at the end of the last financial year. The approval of pelabresib could unlock significant positive and transformative potential for MorphoSys in an indication where there is a high need for improved treatment options for approximately 30,000 to 35,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe.

To intensify further product development, MorphoSys has already adapted the study's design and plans to enroll more patients in the active phase 3 study. One of the Company-wide strategic priorities, in addition to the activities already completed, is to ensure the active study's smooth and prompt completion. In addition, the Company is contemplating expanding the geographic availability, although the clear focus is on the U.S. and European markets.

Full Realization of Potential of Monjuvi (Tafasitamab) in Product Development and Commercialization

Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix) is our first commercial product and represents a significant opportunity as it is currently the only FDA-approved drug in the second line setting for patients with r/r DLBCL in combination with lenalidomide. MorphoSys is focusing on commercializing Monjuvi in the U.S. market with its partner Incyte. MorphoSys will receive royalties for the commercialization outside the U.S., which will be handled by Incyte. Data from the L-MIND study published in 2021 have underpinned the existing long-term treatment outcomes, and approximately 2,000 patients have been treated with Monjuvi in the U.S. since its launch. We are therefore concentrating our efforts on Monjuvi's further commercialization where we believe many more patients could benefit from treatment, which would directly lead to higher sales revenues.

In addition to the focus on Monjuvi's commercialization, we are also prioritizing further development in DLBCL and beyond, particularly within the scope of our active phase 3 trial in first-line DLBCL, tafasitamab's development in FL, and through combination studies with other promising drugs. If approval is granted in important markets after completion of the clinical phases, there is a chance of a significant increase in medium- and long-term sales potential.

Further Advancement of Current Phase 2 Studies of Felzartamab and CPI-0209

The two phase 2 compounds, felzartamab and CPI-0209, complement MorphoSys' proprietary clinical pipeline.

CPI-0209 is a potentially best-in-class EZH2 inhibitor currently in phase 2 development for advanced solid tumors and blood cancer. Results from the ongoing feasibility study are expected in 2022. Felzartamab is a CD38 antibody that, based on data from two active phase 2 studies, may have strong therapeutic potential for autoimmune diseases.

The focus for both compounds is to continue their development and gain further insight from the data generated. Further in-house development, co-development with a partner and out-licensing are all conceivable options to accomplish this.

Additional Income from Milestones and Royalties from Partnered Programs

As previously described, our business focus during the past few years has significantly shifted away from traditional contract research towards proprietary product development and commercialization, especially since our acquisition of Constellation and the agreement with Royalty Pharma. Due to programs partnered in the past, however, MorphoSys may still be entitled to substantial cash inflows from milestones and/or licensing income in the future. This is the case, for example, for otilimab and gantenerumab that are covered under the agreement with Royalty Pharma, despite the fact that a portion of the royalties for these product candidates has been assigned. MorphoSys' partners, such as Novartis, with whom the Company has had a long-standing research collaboration, also have other drugs in development.

Maximization of Value of Promising Investigational Compounds in the Discovery Phase

We have already demonstrated our ability to develop promising drugs and technologies. Our in-house research department could help us in the future to increase the pace and success rate of our proprietary drug development programs, and new technologies could open up new disease areas with completely novel modes of action. The Company's technology development is driven by a team of scientists focused on advancing our technologies. In addition to our in-house technology development, we also rely on external sources to bolster our efforts in this area. One example is our licensing agreement with Cherry Biolabs, which grants us the rights to apply their innovative, multispecific Hemibody technology in the context of our CyCAT dual-targeting platform. Interesting development candidates are discussed regularly by portfolio management committees and the Executive Committee.

Description of Key Risks

In this report describing the key risks, we explain the financial and non-financial risks that we consider to be most relevant for the achievement of the Company's targets in 2022 and beyond. The risk and opportunity profile of the MorphoSys Group has changed significantly in the past year as a result of the acquisition of Constellation on July 15, 2021, and the associated financing agreement with Royalty Pharma. We have therefore revised our allocation of risks to risk categories compared to the previous year's presentation to better reflect the evolution of our business model.

The following overview provides an explanation and summary of the different risk categories and a description of the items generally included in these categories.

Table

12 Overview of Risk Categories

Category	Explanation	Change in Presentation vs. the Previous Year
Strategic risks	This category encompasses mainly those risks resulting from a deviation in the progress of our proprietary clinical develop ment programs from the clinical development plan, as well as the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic situation on the recruitment of study participants.	Focus is on risks related to key value drivers.
	Also included in this category are risks arising from the general business strategy, such as the risks associated with current or potential collaborations.
Operational risks	Risks in this category consist of those material risks that are attributable to the Company's operations, particularly those related to the execution of processes, which also includes ensuring business operations in the event of disruptions such as catastrophe situations or cybersecurity incidents.	This category now includes risks related to securing operations that were reported under "organizational risks" in the prior year. Risks related to the provision of active ingredients for clinical trials as well as related to commercial marketing were reported last year under "strategic risks" but are now sub sumed in this category.
	Risks in connection with the integration of Constellation Pharmaceuticals are also part of this category.
Commercial risks	Commercial risks are those related to the marketing of ap proved products. In the forecast period, this comprises mainly the sales performance of Monjuvi/Minjuvi®, as well as the po tential eff ects of the COVID-19 pandemic situation on the sales potential generated from marketing.	Risks from commercialization were reported under the cate gory "strategic risks" in the previous year.
Financial risks	This category groups together risks that are directly related to the organization's fi nances. Examples include exchange rate risks, the access to and securing of adequate fi nancing, as well as tax-related risks.	This category includes corporate fi nance risk, which was previ ously reported under "strategic risks".
Legal & compliance risks	Legal & compliance-related risks include risks arising from compliance with laws and equivalent regulations. Particularly relevant are industry-specifi c regulations in the area of health care compliance and GxP-relevant issues and risks relating to safeguarding intellectual property (IP).	Risks that were assigned to the category "GxP-relevant risks" in the previous year have now been assigned to this category as they also represent compliance risks. In addition, risks relating to the securing of intellectual property rights that were previ ously assigned to the "external risks" and other categories are now reported in their entirety under this category.

The assessment of risk relevance is not distinguished according to category, but instead by impact and probability of occurrence. For this reason, the major risks listed in table 13* do not always include risks from all five categories.

MorphoSys, like most companies, is fundamentally affected by developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in contrast to the broad impact felt in many industries, the direct impact on MorphoSys is largely limited to its access to treatment facilities and patients, which affects not only the commercialization of approved products, but also clinical study recruitment and operation. In the detailed presentation of material risks, the risks arising from developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are therefore assigned to the corresponding general categories.

Strategic Risk

Strategic risks are those risks that affect the long-term viability of our current and future business success. In line with our business model, these risks are primarily those that arise when the progress of our own major development programs deviates from the clinical development plan. This includes the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient recruitment for clinical studies. Generally speaking, interim results from clinical trials may result in a study's discontinuation or a modification in its design. There is also a possibility that regulatory authorities may not accept our proposed clinical development strategy or our application based on the data and/or may not grant approval or withdraw the granted approval under specific circumstances.

Risks could also arise from current or future collaborations or other business development activities, which can negatively affect our potential to create strategic added value.

Table

13 Overview of MorphoSys' Most Signifi cant Risks

Pelabresib Development Risk

As outlined in the description of opportunities, we believe that pelabresib has the potential to become the standard of care in myelofibrosis. Our view, however, is based on the assumption that the clinical endpoints of the MANIFEST-2 pivotal study are met, which is an inherent risk of clinical development and only partially under MorphoSys' control. One of the necessary prerequisites for successful development is our ability to recruit a sufficient number of patients to generate meaningful data. Immediately following our acquisition of Constellation, we established a task force reporting directly to the Chief Research and Development Officer to ensure we achieve this. We also set up additional locations for our clinical studies. Nevertheless, despite these measures, there is still a risk that the clinical endpoints are not met, or met only to a limited extent, or that there is a delay in comparison to the original development plan, any of which could have a significant impact on the Company's potential for future value creation.

Tafasitamab Development Risk

Similar risks exist for clinical trials in other indications as well as for approvals for tafasitamab, which we are working on together with our collaboration partner Incyte. We initiated new studies in the reporting year and have implemented measures to ensure that we can promptly enroll patients. The achievement of the clinical endpoint is again beyond MorphoSys' control and is an inherent risk of clinical development.

Development Risks Associated with Other Clinical Programs

In addition to our two main clinical programs, we have two other programs, CPI-0209 and felzartamab, in phase 2 clinical development. These active studies are considered proof-of-concept studies, which means there are further opportunities for clinical development if the outcome is successful. These studies also carry the risk that the clinical endpoints are not achieved to a satisfactory extent.

Business Development Risk

Due to the high cost of clinical trials, we are not able to conduct all scientifically feasible development projects independently and need to prioritize our investments based on business decision models despite our strong liquidity. Collaborations with other partners may be an alternative for development projects investigating our product candidates in new indications. Should such collaborations fail to materialize, there is a risk that we will not be able to realize the Company's potential to create value. However, this does not represent a risk compared to our forecast, as the latter does not include such an assumption due to the uncertainty of the conclusion or the conditions of possible collaborations.

Commercial Risk

In July 2020, MorphoSys received accelerated FDA approval for the commercialization of Monjuvi in the U.S. Since that time, the relative importance of revenues generated from our own commercialization of the product with our partner Incyte has been steadily increasing. From a risk standpoint, we distinguish the short-term risk arising from potential COVID-19 restrictions from the more mid- to long-term risk of the market and competitive environment.

Pandemic-Related Limitations in Access to Patients and Facilities

The ebb and flow in COVID-19 infections since the start of the pandemic have impacted patient access to treatment facilities in the U.S. Therapies planned in "hot spot" regions, for example, may be postponed due to a lack of capacity. Furthermore, safety protocols implemented at various sites of care may restrict the ability of our sales force to engage in-person with medical personnel. As a result, there is a risk that we will not achieve the revenue planned from the sale of Monjuvi in the U.S. We assess any potential impact of this risk, however, as moderate.

Competitive and Market Risk

Despite our innovative products, we operate in a competitive environment not only for existing therapies but also unapproved therapeutic alternatives still in clinical research. We meet these challenges through a combination of education about our product and additional data from ongoing clinical studies. Nevertheless, there is a risk that the therapies preferred change over time, competitive products are approved, or existing therapies gain market share at our expense.

There is also significant pressure to contain healthcare costs in the European and North American markets, and payers have taken actions that may result in access restrictions or lead directly and indirectly to price reductions for our products. We expect these efforts to increase and expand over time and continuously monitor the related discussions. However, due to the political situation in the U.S., our core sales market, we do not expect any significant impact from such regulatory measures during the forecast period.

Operational Risk

Operational risk includes material risks that are attributable to the Company's operations, specifically those related to the execution of processes such as maintaining business operations in the event of catastrophic events or cybersecurity incidents. Risks in connection with the integration of Constellation are also included in this category.

Supply Chain Risk

MorphoSys does not produce its own active pharmaceutical ingredients but outsources this manufacturing to contract manufacturing organizations ("CMOs"), which is typical for a number of comparable companies in our industry. MorphoSys addresses the risk of material procurement through contractual agreements and continual monitoring. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global supply chains has resulted in an increased risk of bottlenecks in the availability of consumables and raw materials compared to prior years. MorphoSys is addressing this risk by securing a safety backlog, resulting in the risk from delays in the supply of products for active clinical trials and commercial use during the forecast period being assessed as low risk.

Personnel Risk

MorphoSys' key asset is its employees. The Company's future success largely depends on its ability to attract, develop and retain key employees over time. This risk has increased due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the higher demand for personnel in pharmaceutical companies that has resulted. MorphoSys has offices in the U.S. and in Germany, two countries with a high demand for personnel and a correspondingly large number of competing biotechnology companies. To maintain its image as an attractive employer for skilled personnel, MorphoSys offers competitive compensation and a range of options for personnel development. Succession planning for key positions ensures that there is no significant risk arising from the level of employee turnover that is typical for the industry and the Company's location.

Integration Risk

A "risk run" in the fall of 2021 identified a short-term, moderate organizational risk related to the operational integration of Constellation into the MorphoSys Group. Should MorphoSys be unable to integrate the acquired company into the Group's structures and processes within a reasonable period of time, there is a risk that potential synergies may fail to be realized as planned. This risk also includes the potential departure of employees in key positions with specific background knowledge. To mitigate this risk, a project team has been formed consisting of experienced Constellation and MorphoSys employees from various departments that is focused on key aspects of the integration. By the end of the 2021 financial year, significant progress had already been made in integrating the companies' operations. A global operating model was rolled out to manage major functions across locations and facilitate the business and decision-making processes. While the measures taken have greatly reduced integration risk, a financial risk exists that potential synergies will not be leveraged as planned.

IT and Cybersecurity Risk

Cyber risks encompass all risks to computer and information networks, IT infrastructure and IT-based business and production processes from exposure to sabotage, espionage or other criminal acts. Should the established security measures fail, MorphoSys could suffer reputational damage as well as payment obligations arising from contractual and legal claims from customers, contractual partners and authorities. An increase in the professionalization of cyberattacks has become evident in the past several years, with social engineering techniques increasingly being used in addition to purely technological attacks. MorphoSys has implemented extensive safeguards in information technology and cybersecurity. Internal controls and quality assurance procedures have been rolled out across all major applications and underlying networks and infrastructure. We have advanced systems to prevent unauthorized intrusions and support the timely monitoring of attacks on our IT systems. A qualified Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) has also been established in addition to extensive preventive training and awareness-raising measures for employees.

Further details on our IT and cybersecurity measures can also be found in the Information Technology section in the Corporate Governance Report.

Business Continuity Risk

MorphoSys has implemented a business continuity plan to prevent the widespread collapse of critical business processes and ensure their resumption should a natural disaster, health-related crisis (such as the coronavirus), or other serious event occur. However, depending on the severity, it may be difficult or impossible for us to continue our business for a significant length of time. Our disaster recovery and business continuity plans may prove inadequate should a severe disaster or similar event occur. We also may incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business. In almost two years since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, mobile working has allowed operations to continue at MorphoSys. Except for a few tasks that require an on-site presence, business can continue off-site without significant restrictions. As a result, business continuity risk is classified as low.

Financial Risk

Our financial risk management aims to mitigate financial risks and balance these risks with the needs arising from our business activities. As part of our financial risk management, we continuously monitor current developments in the tax legislation of our sales markets and operating sites so that we can identify and address tax risks at an early stage.

Liquidity Risk

Unexpected fluctuations in revenues, unplanned adverse developments in expenses and external events and changes in the business environment can all have a negative impact on our short- to medium-term liquidity and profitability. To ensure our short-term liquidity, we invest a sufficient share of our financial assets in short-term financial instruments. We also have a comprehensive liquidity plan based on our corporate planning that includes the simulated effects of various scenarios so we can determine our medium- and long-term liquidity requirements. To further reduce our financial risk, we take the outcome of the liquidity plan into account when prioritizing research and development projects and determining the financing requirements and the resulting concrete financing activities of the Management Board. MorphoSys also has access to other non-dilutive financing options, such as utilizing the development funding bonds provided by Royalty Pharma.

Currency Risk

MorphoSys generates a large percentage of its revenues in U.S. dollars, and this percentage is expected to increase with the expected increase in revenues from Monjuvi. U.S. commercialization costs and research and development costs are also incurred in U.S. dollars, and the proportion of these costs have increased following the acquisition of Constellation. As long as the costs in U.S. dollars exceed U.S. dollar revenues, a further depreciation in the EUR/USD exchange rate represents a short- and medium-term risk for MorphoSys. The fluctuation in macroeconomic development in recent months has caused this risk to increase compared to the previous year. The Financial Planning & Analysis and Corporate Treasury departments continuously monitor changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate. A strategy for investing in U.S. dollar financial products has been developed in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and in line with the internal guidelines for investing in financial products.

Interest Rate and Default Risk

As a result of the ongoing, tense economic situation in Europe, the potential insolvency of banking institutions continues to represent a financial risk. We are therefore continuing to invest, when possible, only in funds and products of banks that are considered safe and have a high rating or are backed by a strong partner. We diversify and invest in lower-risk money market funds in order to limit our exposure to individual financial institutions. A strategy that excludes all risks of potential bank insolvencies would be too expensive and impractical. German government bonds, for example, are a very safe investment, but currently trade at a negative interest rate. On the other hand, earning adequate interest on financial investments poses a risk, particularly as the key interest rate is at a negative level. We have limited investment options if we want to avoid negative interest rates while staying within the Company's investment guidelines. We invest, when possible, in instruments that yield positive interest, but there is no guarantee that such investments will remain available.

Tax Risks

The accounting treatment of the payment that MorphoSys AG received from Royalty Pharma in the third quarter of 2021 could be examined by the tax authorities under German tax law in the context of a future tax audit. This examination is considered standard given the amount of the payment. Based on the Company's knowledge of German tax law and supported by tax experts, the Company has concluded that the tax risk assessment is medium in accordance with the Company´s internal risk valuation system. Consequently, due to the remaining uncertainty and the significance, a contingent income tax liability in the amount of € 223.1 million is reported (refer to Note 7.2* in the notes).

Regulatory and Compliance Risk

Regulatory and compliance-related risks include risks arising from failing to comply with laws and equivalent regulations. Of particular relevance are risks related to industry-specific regulations in the area of healthcare compliance, GxP*-relevant issues, and risks concerning the protection of intellectual property (IP). MorphoSys has implemented extensive systems and processes to minimize these risks. Due to the implemented countermeasures, these risks in the financial year were classified as low overall.

Compliance Risk

In the area of healthcare compliance, the focus is on combating bribery and corruption and the key regulations governing commercialization activities in the U.S., such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, False Claims Act, Open Payments Act, and the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. A relevant compliance risk is that the Company fails to fully grasp operational challenges and, as a result, the compliance management program (CMP) is not established in accordance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. To address this risk, we have implemented a riskbased compliance management program that takes into account all of the current trends and applicable requirements, including the Code of Conduct; the Global Anti-Bribery Policy; the Global Policy on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, Healthcare Organizations, Patients and Patient Organizations; the Global Fair Market Value Policy; the Global Policy on Transparency and Disclosure of Transfers of Value to Healthcare Professionals, Healthcare Organizations, Patients and Patient Organizations; and the relevant U.S. and German guidelines.

We also have a global Compliance Committee that meets quarterly and makes informed decisions on the further development of the CMP. Regular training sessions are held, which are aimed at all employees as well as specific employee groups. A guide for the sales force has also been developed to help the sales team implement the guidelines in their daily work. An extensive onboarding program is offered to new employees in both Germany and the U.S. A compliance risk assessment is conducted annually, in which feedback is gathered from more than 60 of the Company's executives to evaluate and minimize risks. Our control activities feed into our training and communication priorities.

All these measures would not be possible without a clear message from the management: Our Management Board members emphasize the importance of compliance regularly, including at events during the annual Compliance Week, which took place again in the reporting year.

Further details on our CMP can be found in the Corporate Governance Report in the section "Compliance management program."

GxP-Related Risk

Companies that research, develop and produce drugs and active ingredients for commercial use are subject to comprehensive regulations known as GxP regulations. Compliance with these regulations is essential to receive approval from regulatory authorities. GxP-relevant risks can arise from a number of business areas if quality standards are not met. To counter these risks, we are committed to meeting the highest quality standards in our business operations, as outlined in our separate "Non-Financial Group Report."* Certain risks may arise when the internal quality management system fails to meet legal requirements or fails to implement internal systems to detect quality issues. If internal controls are unable to detect guideline violations of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP*), Good Clinical Practice (GCP*), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP*), Good Distribution Practice (GDP*), or Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP*), this would also represent a compliance risk. To minimize risk, the internal quality management system is also regularly reviewed by external experts and subjected to recurring audits by an internal, independent quality assurance department.

* see glossary – page 182

Intellectual Property Risk

The patent protection of our proprietary technologies and active ingredients is vitally important to realizing the expected benefits. To mitigate risks in this area, we monitor new patents as well as patent applications and analyze the corresponding results. We also develop strategies to ensure that third-party patents and patent applications do not restrict our own activities. In doing so, we try to safeguard our freedom of action with regard to our proprietary technology platforms and products as much as possible. Risks in this area can arise from the potential for third-party patents or patent applications to fail to be recognized or incorrectly assessed. Risks may also arise from enforcing our property rights against third parties. The respective processes may involve high costs and require considerable resources. There is also a risk that a third party may file a counterclaim. A further risk may also arise from a changing regulatory environment. We minimize this risk through the ongoing training of the relevant groups and discussions with external experts. It is also conceivable that competitors may attack our patents, or that our patents or patent families are infringed upon, which in turn could lead us to take legal action against competitors. Such proceedings are associated with high costs and represent a significant financial risk, particularly in the U.S.

By letter dated June 10, 2021, MorphoSys was notified by a licensor of the initiation of arbitration proceedings in the United States. The licensor alleges breach of contract and claims damages for the licensor's argued loss of revenues. Despite the patent expiry in 2018 confirmed by the licensor at the time, this is now disputed and a significantly longer patent term is assumed. Taking into account the associated legal and consulting costs, the potential amount in dispute in the proceedings is in the low double-digit Euro million range and also includes a currently unspecified share of royalty income. A decision by the arbitration court is expected in the fourth quarter 2022. Based on the current assessment of the facts, MorphoSys believes that the arguments presented are unfounded and that the arbitration will likely be decided in MorphoSys' favor. There was no arbitration decision and no other new developments in the third and fourth quarter of 2021.

The Management Board's Evaluation of the Group's Overall Risk Situation

Our Management Board considers our overall risk as manageable and trusts in the effectiveness of the integrated risk and opportunity management system to keep up with changes in the environment and the needs of the ongoing business. It is the Management Board's view that the Group's continued existence is not jeopardized. This assessment applies to the Group as a whole, as well as to each Group company. This statement also applies in the unlikely event that several of the material risks occur cumulatively, as even in such a scenario the risk-bearing capacity defined by the Board of Management is not undercut.

The Management Board's conclusion is based on the following considerations:

• The Group's high liquidity base
• The Management Board's conviction that the Group is wellpositioned to cope with any adverse events that may occur
• The Group's comprehensive portfolio of proprietary preclinical and clinical programs
• The Group's extensive portfolio of partnerships with a number of large pharmaceutical companies and a base of technologies to expand its proprietary portfolio

Despite these factors, it is impossible to influence, control or rule out risk in its entirety.

Relevant Information on Corporate Governance Practices

We ensure compliance with the law and the highest ethical standards in particular through the Group-wide enforcement of the Code of Conduct, the Compliance Management Handbook, and other internal policies and guidelines.

Our Code of Conduct sets out the fundamental principles and key policies and practices for business behavior. The Code is a valuable tool for our employees and executives, particularly in business, legal and ethical dilemmas. The Code of Conduct reinforces our transparent and sound management principles and fosters the trust placed in us by the public, business partners, employees and financial markets. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is carefully monitored. The Group-wide implementation of the Code is overseen by the Global Compliance Committee. The Code of Conduct itself is routinely reviewed and updated, provided to all new employees, and can be downloaded in German or English from our website under the section Investors – Corporate Governance.

The Compliance Management Handbook describes our compliance management program (CMP) and is intended to ensure compliance with all regulations and prescribe high ethical standards that apply to both the management and all employees. The Management Board has overall responsibility for the CMP and is required to report regularly to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board. In carrying out its compliance responsibility, the Management Board has assigned the relevant tasks to various functions at MorphoSys.

The Global Compliance Committee consists of our three members of the Management Board (Chief Executive Officer, Chief Research and Development Officer, and Chief Financial Officer) and senior representatives from various departments. In 2021 the Chief Integration Officer and Site Head of Constellation has also been included as a member of the Global Compliance Committee to ensure gradient integration of Constellation into MorphoSys' Compliance Management Program. It meets quarterly and supports the Head of Global Compliance in implementing and monitoring the CMP. The Global Compliance Committee is specifically responsible for the identification and discussion of all compliancerelevant issues, and thus makes it possible for the Head of Global Compliance and the other members of the Global Compliance Committee to periodically verify our compliance status and, if necessary, update the CMP.

The Head of Global Compliance monitors our existing CMP and updates it in accordance with the decisions of the Management Board and Global Compliance Committee. Compliance colleagues are the first point of contact for all employees regarding all compliance matters.

Working Practices of the Management Board, Supervisory Board and Executive Committee

To ensure good corporate governance, a guiding principle of the cooperation between our Management Board and our Supervisory Board is the open, comprehensive and regular communication of information. The dual board system prescribed by the German Stock Corporation Act clearly differentiates between the Company's management and its supervision. The responsibility of both Boards is clearly stipulated by the legislator and the Articles of Association as well as the Boards' rules of procedure. The boards work closely together to make decisions and take actions for the Company's benefit. Their stated objective is to sustainably increase the Company's value.

Management Board members have their own separate areas of responsibility, as defined in the schedule of responsibilities, and regularly report to the other Management Board members. Cooperation among Management Board members is governed by the rules of procedure. The Supervisory Board approves both the schedule of responsibilities and the rules of procedure.

The Company has also established the so-called "Executive Committee." Under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Committee is responsible for the development of the strategy, for the commercialization, the operational management of the Company and the achievement of its targets and results. The Executive Committee prepares the decisions for the Management Board's resolutions and adopts resolutions jointly with the Management Board, provided this is not the sole responsibility of the Management Board by law or by resolution of the Supervisory Board. The Executive Committee consists of the members of the Management Board and senior executives from the Company's core areas such as Business Development & Licensing and Alliance Management, Technical Operations, Human Resources, Legal, and Compliance & Intellectual Property. In addition to the members of the Management Board, the current members of the Executive Committee are Barbara Krebs-Pohl, Ph.D. (Senior VP, Head of Global BD&L and Alliance Management), Daniel Palmacci (Senior VP, Global Head of Technical Operations), Maria Castresana (Senior VP, Global Head of Human Resources), Charlotte Lohmann (Senior VP, General Counsel, Legal, Compliance & IP) and Joe Horvat (US General Manager) .

Executive Committee meetings are generally held weekly and at least once every two weeks and when necessary in the interest of the Company. Separate Management Board meetings are generally held when this is in the interest of the Company or legally required. During these meetings, resolutions are passed concerning measures and transactions that, under the rules of procedure of the Management Board, require the approval of the entire Management Board. At least half of the Management Board's members must be present to pass a resolution. Management Board resolutions are passed by a simple majority and, in the event of a tied vote, the Chief Executive Officer's vote decides. In case of material events, each Management Board or Supervisory Board member can call an extraordinary meeting of the entire Management Board. Management Board resolutions can also be adopted outside of meetings orally, by telephone or in writing (also by e-mail). Written minutes are taken for each meeting of the full Management Board and Executive Committee and are submitted for approval to the full Management Board and Executive Committee, as well as for the signature of the Chief Executive Officer, at the following meeting.

The Management Board promptly and comprehensively informs the Supervisory Board in writing and at Supervisory Board meetings about planning, business development, the Group's position, risk management and other compliance issues. Extraordinary meetings of the Supervisory Board are also convened in case of material events. The Management Board involves the Supervisory Board in the strategy, planning and all fundamental Company issues. The Management Board's rules of procedure specify that material business transactions require the approval of the Supervisory Board. Detailed information on the cooperation of the Management Board and Supervisory Board and important items of discussion during the 2021 financial year can be found in the Report of the Supervisory Board.

The Supervisory Board holds a minimum of two meetings during each calendar half-year. In addition to the Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board has adopted rules of procedure for the Supervisory Board. In accordance with these rules of procedure, the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board coordinates the activities of the Supervisory Board, chairs the Supervisory Board meetings and represents the interests of the Supervisory Board externally. The Supervisory Board generally adopts its resolutions in meetings, but resolutions may also be passed outside of meetings in writing (also by e-mail), by telephone or video conference.

The Supervisory Board has a quorum when at least two-thirds of its members participate in the vote. Resolutions of the Supervisory Board are generally passed with a simple majority. In the event of a tied vote, the Chairperson's vote decides.

The Supervisory Board meetings are recorded in minutes. Resolutions passed outside of meetings are also documented in writing. A copy of the Supervisory Board's minutes is made available to all Supervisory Board members. In accordance with recommendation D.13 of the Code, the Supervisory Board assesses at regular intervals how effective the Supervisory Board in its entirety and its committees perform their tasks. The members of the Management Board also participate in this review. The last review was carried out by the Supervisory Board in December 2021 and was based on a questionnaire completed by the members of both the Supervisory Board and the Management Board. The results were then discussed and evaluated in a subsequent Supervisory Board meeting.

Composition and Working Practices of the Management Board and Supervisory Board Committees

The Management Board has not formed any committees.

The Supervisory Board has three permanent committees: the Audit Committee, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and the Science and Technology Committee. The members of the three committees formed by the Supervisory Board are professionally qualified.

Audit Committee

The main task of the Audit Committee is to support the Supervisory Board in fulfilling its supervisory duties with respect to the accuracy of the annual and consolidated financial statements, the activities of the auditor and internal control functions, such as risk management, compliance and internal auditing. The Audit Committee submits a recommendation to the Supervisory Board for the election at the Annual General Meeting of an independent auditor. The members of the Audit Committee are Michael Brosnan (Chair), Sharon Curran and Krisja Vermeylen. Currently, Michael Brosnan meets the prerequisite of an independent financial expert.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for the preparation and the annual review of the Management Board's remuneration system prior to its final approval. When necessary, the Committee searches for suitable candidates to appoint to the Management Board and Supervisory Board and submits appointment proposals to the Supervisory Board. The Committee also prepares the service agreements with Management Board members. The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are Krisja Vermeylen (Chair), Marc Cluzel, M.D., Ph.D., and Wendy Johnson.

Science and Technology Committee

The Science and Technology Committee advises the Supervisory Board on matters concerning proprietary drug and technology development and prepares the relevant Supervisory Board resolutions. The members of the Science and Technology Committee are George Golumbeski, Ph.D. (Chair) and Wendy Johnson.

Ad Hoc Deal Committee

The members of the Science and Technology Committee also serve as members of the Ad Hoc Deal Committee, which meets in this capacity as required. In 2021, the Ad Hoc Deal Committee dealt with the acquisition of Constellation.

Pursuant to recommendation C.14 of the Code, the curriculum vitae of the members of the Supervisory Board are published on our website under About us – Leadership – Supervisory Board.

Remuneration System and Compensation of the Members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board

On March 11, 2021, the Supervisory Board resolved a remuneration system for the members of the Management Board which is in line with the requirements for management board remuneration as amended by the Act Implementing the Second Shareholders' Rights Directive (ARUG II) and the Code in its version as amended on December 16, 2019. The remuneration system does not yet apply to any member of the Management Board.

The remuneration report pursuant to Section 162 AktG, including the auditor's report, can be found on our website under Investors – Corporate Governance. The applicable remuneration system for the members of the Management Board and the most recent resolution of the Annual General Meeting 2021 on the remuneration of Supervisory Board members can be found on our website under Investors – Annual General Meeting 2021.

Report on Corporate Governance

At MorphoSys, responsible, sustainable and value-oriented corporate governance is a high priority. Good corporate governance is an essential aspect of our corporate management and forms the framework for the Group's management and supervision, including the Group's organization, commercial principles and tools for its guidance and control.

The Code provides a standard for the transparent monitoring and management of companies that strongly emphasizes shareholder interests. The German Federal Ministry of Justice originally published the Code in 2002. On December 16, 2019, the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code adopted a new version of the Code, which entered into force upon its publication in the German Federal Gazette on March 20, 2020. The Code contains recommendations and suggestions with regard to the management and supervision of German companies listed on a stock exchange. It is based on domestic and internationally recognized standards for good and responsible corporate governance. The Code aims to make the German system of corporate governance transparent for investors. It contains recommendations and suggestions on corporate governance with regard to shareholders and the Annual General Meeting, the Management Board and Supervisory Board, transparency, accounting and valuation principles, and auditing.

There is no obligation to comply with the recommendations and suggestions of the Code. The German Stock Corporation Act only requires the management boards and supervisory boards of listed German companies to publish a declaration each year, (i) either confirming that the company has complied with the recommendations of the Code or (ii) listing the recommendations the company has not complied with and the reasons for the deviation from the recommendations of the Code. In addition, a listed company must also state in its annual declaration whether it intends to comply with the recommendations or must list the recommendations it does not intend to comply with in the future. These declarations must be published permanently on the company's website. If the company changes its position on certain recommendations between two annual declarations, it must disclose this fact and state the reasons for the deviation from the recommendations. If suggestions from the Code are not complied with, this does not have to be disclosed.

Many of the corporate governance principles contained in the Code have been practiced at MorphoSys for many years. Our corporate governance principles are outlined in the Statement on Corporate Governance pursuant to Sections 289f and 315d HGB. The statement also contains the annual Declaration of Conformity, relevant information on corporate governance practices and a description of the Management Board and Supervisory Board's working practices. Additional information can be found in this Report on Corporate Governance.

Communication with the Capital Market

A key principle of corporate communication at MorphoSys is to simultaneously and fully inform institutional investors, private shareholders, financial analysts, employees and all other stakeholders of the Company's situation through regular, transparent and timely communication. The Company is firmly committed to following a fair information policy.

Regular meetings with analysts and investors in the context of roadshows and individual meetings play a central role in investor relations at MorphoSys. Conference calls are publicly webcast and follow the publications of quarterly and annual results and give analysts an immediate opportunity to ask questions about the Company's development. Presentations from conferences and similar events are made available to those interested on the MorphoSys website, as are visual and audio recordings of other important events.

The Company's website www.morphosys.com/en serves as a central platform for current information on the Company and its development. Financial reports, analyst meetings and conference presentations, as well as press releases and ad hoc statements, are also available. The important regularly scheduled publications and events (annual reports, interim reports, annual general meetings and press and analyst conferences) are published in the Company's financial calendar well in advance.

With the commercialization of Monjuvi in the U.S., the website www.morphosys.com/en accommodates the specific information needs of U.S. users and positions MorphoSys as an emerging leader in the hematology/oncology market.

Competence Profile, Diversity Concept and Objectives for the Composition

The Company's Supervisory Board has updated its competence profile and objectives for its composition based on the new Code recommendations and has prepared a diversity concept in accordance with Section 289f (2) no. 6 of the German Commercial Code. According to this concept, the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG shall be composed in such a way that the Supervisory Board in its entirety possesses the knowledge, skills and professional experience necessary to perform its duties properly and ensure that it appropriately supervises and advises the Management Board of MorphoSys AG while taking diversity into account. When electing Supervisory Board members, the candidates who are proposed to the Annual General Meeting fulfill the overall competence profile based on their professional competence, experience, integrity, commitment, independence and character. Proposals to the Annual General Meeting also take the objectives for the composition of the Supervisory Board into consideration.

Competence Profile

The members of the Supervisory Board shall in its entirety possess the professional competence and experience to fulfill the tasks of the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG as an internationally operating biopharmaceutical company.

The Supervisory Board in particular considers the following skills and expertise to be essential for the composition of the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG:

• Members should have a general knowledge of the industry in which the Company operates in order to make sufficient and substantive contributions at Supervisory Board meetings
• At least one member must have experience in drug development
• At least one member must have experience in commercialization
• At least one member must have expertise in the fields of accounting or auditing (Section 100 (5) AktG)
• At least one member must have experience with personnel issues concerning Management Board matters

Diversity Concept for the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG

The Supervisory Board strives to ensure an appropriate level of diversity with respect to age, gender, internationality and professional background, as well as regarding professional expertise, experience and personality, in order to achieve a diverse composition of the Supervisory Board and enable it, in its entirety, to base its decisions on different cultural and professional perspectives and wide experiences.

The Supervisory Board gives particular consideration to the following criteria:

• At least two members of the Supervisory Board shall have extensive international experience or an international background
• At least one member of the Supervisory Board shall be under the age of 60 at the time of the member's appointment
• At least two members of the Supervisory Board shall have different professional backgrounds and experience

With respect to the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board has set target figures as well as deadlines for their achievement in accordance with Section 111 (5) AktG, to which reference is made.

Other Targets in the Composition of the Supervisory Board

Age Limit

At the time of their appointment by the Annual General Meeting, Supervisory Board members should not be more than 70 years of age. The Supervisory Board may, however, decide to make an exception in specific cases.

Duration of Appointment

The uninterrupted length of the term of office of a Supervisory Board member shall generally not exceed 12 years. However, the Supervisory Board may resolve an exception to this rule in certain cases.

Independence

The Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG considers a number of at least four independent members to be an appropriate number of independent members, taking into account the shareholder structure. According to the Code, a Supervisory Board member is considered to be independent of MorphoSys AG, its Management Board and any controlling shareholders when he or she has no personal or business relationship with the Company, the Management Board or a controlling shareholder. The Supervisory Board's assessment of the independence of Supervisory Board members is, amongst others, based on the recommendations of the Code. Consequently, a Supervisory Board member is generally not considered independent if such member, or a close member of his or her family

• •was a member of the Management Board of MorphoSys AG in the two years preceding his or her appointment to the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG;
• •maintains or has maintained a material business relationship (directly or indirectly) with MorphoSys AG or a Group company of MorphoSys AG in the year preceding his or her appointment;
• •is a close family member of a Management Board member; or
• •has been a member of the Supervisory Board for more than 12 years.

Significant and lasting conflicts of interest should be avoided, particularly those resulting from functions carried out for major competitors. It must be taken into account, however, that certain conflicts of interest cannot generally be excluded. Possible conflicts of interest must be disclosed to the Chairperson of the Supervisory Board and will be resolved by appropriate measures. This could lead to the termination of the Supervisory Board mandate of the member concerned if the conflict of interest is not merely temporary.

Availability

All members of the Supervisory Board must ensure that they have sufficient time available to properly perform their Supervisory Board duties at MorphoSys AG. Therefore, as a rule, it is required that:

• •the Supervisory Board member is able to personally attend at least four ordinary Supervisory Board meetings per year, for which a reasonable amount of preparation time is required in each case; in the event of exceptional circumstances to be determined by the Supervisory Board's Chairperson, the participation of one or more Supervisory Board members in ordinary Supervisory Board meetings by other means (such as video conference) shall also be sufficient;
• •the Supervisory Board member is able to attend extraordinary meetings of the Supervisory Board, if necessary, to deal with specific topics;
• •the Supervisory Board member is able to attend the Annual General Meeting;
• •the Supervisory Board member has sufficient time to review the annual and consolidated financial statements; and
• •the Supervisory Board member allocates additional time to prepare for and attend committee meetings, in accordance with his or her membership in one or more of the Supervisory Board's current three permanent committees.

Current Composition of the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG is composed in accordance with the above objectives. It is composed of an appropriate number of independent members with an international background. As the Supervisory Board as a whole currently has six members, of which three are women, an appropriate proportion of women has been achieved.

Target Values for the Proportion of Women In the Supervisory Board

The Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG consists of six members, three of whom are women, representing a proportion of 50%. The Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG has set the target value for the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board at 33.33%, meaning at least two out of six members shall be women. This target figure shall apply until June 30, 2025.

In the Management Board

The Management Board of MorphoSys AG consisted of four male members until December 31, 2021, and has consisted of three male members since January 1, 2022. As a result, the current proportion of women on the Company's Management Board is 0%. Since the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG is of the opinion that, despite the continuing efforts to increase the proportion of women within the Management Board, the best possible qualification of a candidate for the Management Board must be assessed according to a variety of applied diversity criteria, in July 2020, the Supervisory Board has set the target value for the proportion of women on the Company's Management Board at 0%. This target value shall apply until June 30, 2023. The Supervisory Board nevertheless aims to increase the proportion of women within the Management Board. In the course of the next resolution upon a target value for the proportion of women within the Management Board, the Supervisory Board will take this objective into account.

In the First and Second Management Level below the Management Board

1. Target value for the first management level below the Management Board

In 2020, the Management Board confirmed its resolution for a target value of 30% of women in the first management level below the Management Board as of July 2017 and intends to maintain a minimum proportion of women of 30% in the first management level below the Management Board until June 30, 2025. As of the date of the resolution on the target value, the first management level below the Management Board of MorphoSys AG (line managers reporting directly to the Management Board) consisted of 21 members, of which nine are women, corresponding to a proportion of women of 42.86%. MorphoSys AG continuously complied with this requirement in the reporting year.

1. Target value for the second management level below the Management Board

In 2020, the Management Board confirmed its resolution for a target value of 30% women in the second management level below the Management Board as of July 2017 and intends to maintain a minimum proportion of women of 30% in the second management level below the Management Board until June 30, 2025. As of the date of the resolution on the target, the second management level below the Management Board of MorphoSys AG (line managers reporting directly to the first management level below the Management Board) consisted of 53 members, 22 of whom are women, corresponding to a proportion of women of 41.51%. MorphoSys AG continuously complied with this requirement in the reporting year.

Diversity Concept for the Management Board of MorphoSys AG

Pursuant to Section 289f (2) No. 6 of the German Commercial Code, the Supervisory Board has determined the following diversity concept for the composition of the Management Board of MorphoSys AG.

The aim of the diversity concept for the Management Board is to consciously use diversity for the further success of the Company. The Supervisory Board believes that diversity in terms of different perspectives, competencies and backgrounds of experience is an important prerequisite for competitiveness and sustainable corporate success.

Together with the Management Board, the Supervisory Board ensures long-term succession planning for the Management Board. In the search for candidates for the position of a member of the Management Board of MorphoSys AG, the decisive selection criteria include, amongst others, professional qualifications for the position to be taken over, leadership qualities, previous performance, and acquired skills and knowledge of the business of MorphoSys AG.

In the composition of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board also particularly takes the following aspects into account:

• The members of the Management Board shall, in their entirety, have the necessary knowledge, skills and professional experience required for their tasks.
• Where possible, the members of the Management Board should have different levels of educational and professional experience.
• The members of the Management Board shall, in their entirety, be familiar with the market environment, the individual business fields and the market segment in which MorphoSys AG operates.
• The members of the Management Board shall, in their entirety, have relevant experience in leading a publicly listed company.
• There should be a sufficient age mix among the members of the Management Board.
• With regard to the proportion of women on the Management Board, the Supervisory Board has set target values, as well as deadlines for their achievement, in accordance with Section 111 (5) AktG, to which reference is made.

The above criteria were taken into account in the appointment of the Management Board members.

Other Targets in the Composition of the Management Board Age Limit

At the time of their appointment, Management Board members should not be more than 67 years of age. The Supervisory Board may, however, decide to make an exception in specific cases. The age limit of 67 is currently complied with.

Managers' Transactions

The members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG, as well as persons closely associated with them, are required to disclose trading in MorphoSys shares in accordance with the requirements set forth in the relevant legal provisions (Article 19 (1a) of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR)).

During the reporting year, MorphoSys received notifications pursuant to Article 19 (1a) MAR, which are shown in the table below.

Avoiding Conflicts of Interest

The members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board are obligated to refrain from actions that could lead to conflicts of interest with their responsibilities at MorphoSys AG. Such transactions or sideline activities of the Management Board must be disclosed to the Supervisory Board without undue delay and require the Supervisory Board's approval. The Supervisory Board, in turn, must inform the Annual General Meeting of any conflicts of interest that arise and disclose how they were dealt with. No conflict of interest arose in the Supervisory Board in the 2021 financial year.

Share Repurchases

By resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 23, 2014, MorphoSys was authorized, in accordance with Section 71 (1) no. 8 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), to repurchase treasury shares in an amount of up to 10% of the existing share capital up to and including April 30, 2019. Following the authorization's expiry, no new authorization was proposed to the Annual General Meeting; therefore, no such authorization currently exists.

Information Technology

The transition from working remotely due to COVID-19 to a hybrid and highly flexible work model was accompanied by an integrative technology update of our physical and virtual meeting rooms and a new collaboration and booking platform.

We began with the technical integration and consolidation of IT systems following the acquisition of Constellation and will complete this process in 2022. In 2021, the focus was on the interoperability of all systems to ensure the fastest possible collaboration. This year, we will exploit the full potential of all synergies and establish a global, harmonized IT landscape. The specialist IT teams have already been combined to form a joint IT organization.

A special focus was placed on the further digitalization and automation of business processes. With the introduction of electronic signatures using DocuSign™, we were able to significantly accelerate signature circulation and automate processes. A new, global learning management system forms the basis for the digital education strategy, which relies on e-learning and remote training.

We are advancing our innovation using artificial intelligence through tools such as Aily™, which will make it possible to foresee ways to optimize recruitment for clinical trials. We are also investing in the expansion of our Veeva™ system landscape for unified management of quality and regulatory information, which is crucial for rapidly launching products (e.g., pelabresib) and maintaining their marketing approval.

In the area of IT security, we continued to optimize our cyber defense measures and progressed through the integration phase with Constellation with increased awareness. An automated penetration testing and validation platform was deployed to review our technical security controls and identify potential vulnerabilities. We continued to train and raise our employees' awareness of their own contributions to the Company's IT security.

Our Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) has not detected any serious security incidents during the reporting year.

Information on the Internal Control and Risk Management System with regard to the Accounting Process under Section 289 (4) and Section 315 (4) HGB

In the 2021 reporting year, we completed a routine update of the documentation for our existing internal control and risk management system for maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, which we have expanded based on the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX 404). This ensures the existence of essential controls designed to report financial figures as precisely and accurately as possible. Our internal controls over financial reporting are based on the globally recognized COSO 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework, defined by the COSO organization (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). We use this framework, which is the most commonly used framework for the internal control over financial reporting.

System constraints make it impossible to give absolute assurance that internal controls will always prevent or completely detect all misrepresentations made in the context of financial reporting. Internal controls can only provide sufficient assurance that financial reporting is reliable and verify that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with the applicable IFRS standards endorsed by the European Union (EU) for external purposes.

The consolidated financial statements and the interim financial statements are subject to a number of preparation, auditing and control processes to ensure that they are submitted to the market and the shareholders in a timely, complete and quality manner. All internal controls over financial reporting are defined and rolled out for all companies by the central Global Internal Controls function in close coordination with the departments involved. These process-integrated measures include the separation of planning, posting and execution of financial transactions within the framework of a strict four eyes principle. The separation of functions is significantly enhanced by the appropriate allocation rights for the IT systems. Internal guidelines and procedures also exist to regulate the implementation of process activities and controls and must be complied with at all times by the employees involved. The transactional controls are flanked by target/actual comparisons and further downstream plausibility checks. The control mechanisms described apply both to the accounting processes of the consolidated companies and the process of closing the consolidated financial statements, which includes consolidation.

In addition to internal controls integrated into the processes, a separate independent monitoring process is also carried out by the Internal Audit Department, which is bundled in the Corporate Internal Audit central function. Due to the obligations of SOX 404 and in order to comply with the requirements of Section107 (3) of the German Stock Corporation Act, Internal Audit performs an annual independent audit of all significant internal controls for financial reporting, supported by a qualified and independent external service provider. As part of its regular communication with the supervisory bodies, the Internal Audit Department reports every six months to the Chief Financial Officer and the Audit Committee on the results of the structural and functional audits of the accounting-related internal control system.

Predictions of future events in the narrower sense are not part of our internal control and risk management system. Nevertheless, we have implemented a risk management system that ensures early identification and assessment of business-specific risks. Appropriate countermeasures are taken to eliminate identified risks or at least reduce them to an acceptable level. Particular attention is paid to those risks which could endanger the existence of the company. The Management Board ensures that risks are dealt with responsibly on an ongoing basis and keeps the Supervisory Board informed of existing risks and their development. Detailed information on our opportunities and risks can be found in the "Risk and Opportunity Report."

Accounting and External Audit

We prepare our annual financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in compliance with the recommendations of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC). We have applied all standards and interpretations that were in force on December 31, 2021, and adopted by the EU into European law. As of December 31, 2021, there were no standards or interpretations with an impact on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 that had entered into force but had not yet been adopted into European law. Therefore, our consolidated financial statements comply with both the IFRS

(IASB) and the IFRS adopted by the EU. In addition, our consolidated financial statements take into account the supplementary provisions of German commercial law that are to be applied in accordance with Section 315e (1) HGB).

For the election of our auditor, the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board submits a nomination proposal to the Supervisory Board. At the 2021 Annual General Meeting, PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft was appointed as auditor for the 2021 financial year. As proof of its independence, the auditor submitted an Independence Declaration to the Supervisory Board. The lead auditor of these consolidated financial statements was Holger Lutz, who has audited the consolidated financial statements since 2019.

PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH has been our auditor since the 2011 financial year. Information on audit-related fees and all other fees provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH to us during the 2021 financial year can be found in Note 5.13*.

Compliance Management Program

The separate "Non-Financial Group Report"* sets out the basic mechanisms of our compliance management program (CMP). The report is available on our website under https://csr.morphosys. com/2021.

The identification and assessment of compliance risks are an important part of the CMP and are incorporated into the program's overall strategic development. Our main compliance-relevant risk areas are evaluated using a systematic approach and taking into account our current business strategy and priorities. During the reporting year, we carried out an annual compliance risk assessment that included anti-bribery and other relevant risk areas. Risk mitigation measures were initiated for the areas of action identified. Within the scope of the CMP, employees are given the opportunity to report potential compliance issues within the MorphoSys Group in a protected and, if desired, anonymous manner through the MorphoSys Integrity Line reporting system. In addition to an annual compliance risk analysis, we have developed other appropriate guidelines and have monitored compliance. In order to prevent compliance breaches, employees were routinely trained in topics relevant for compliance. Traditional compliance refresher trainings have been provided to the employees, as well as newly developed trainings on thoughtful communications and investigator-initiated trials.

Figure published by the International Accounting Standards Board In November 2021, MorphoSys held a Compliance Week that included a number of engaging activities for employees of MorphoSys AG, MorphoSys US Inc. and, for the first time, Constellation under the motto "Integrity in All We Do."

Compliance-related discussions and analyses at all levels of the Company lead to a continuous improvement in managing and mitigating risk at MorphoSys.

In conjunction with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation [EU] 2016/679 – "GDPR"), which entered into force on May 25, 2018, we have implemented various procedures since 2018 to ensure compliance with the GDPR. More details can be found in the separate "Non-Financial Group Report."*

The Internal Audit department executes a risk-based audit plan that includes the requirements and recommendations of the Management Board, as well as those of the Supervisory Board's Audit Committee. The Internal Audit department is also responsible for performing management testing in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 404 (SOX). This procedure involves independently testing the appropriateness and effectiveness of internal controls in the business processes relevant to financial reporting.

The outcome of each internal audit is communicated to the CEO and the relevant members of the Executive Committee. In addition, the Head of Internal Audit reports to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board on the results of the internal audits and SOX management testing twice a year or immediately if necessary.

Three audits were carried out in the year 2021. Some areas for action were identified, resulting in the adoption of corresponding corrective plans of action. The internal audit plan for 2022 envisages four audits, which will cover the activities of all entities of the MorphoSys Group.

Disclosures pursuant to Section 289a (1), Section 315a (1) HGB and Explanatory Report of the Management Board pursuant to Section 176 (1) Sentence 1 AktG

Composition of Share Capital

On December 31, 2021, the Company's share capital amounted to € 34,231,943, divided into 34,231,943 no-par-value bearer shares. With the exception of the 83,154 treasury shares held by the Company, these bearer shares possess voting rights, with each share granting one vote at the Annual General Meeting. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's registered share capital amounted to € 34,227,598, divided into 34,227,598 no-par-value bearer shares. This amount of registered share capital does not yet reflect the increase in share capital and the number of shares resulting from the exercise of 4,345 subscription rights to shares in the Company (stock options) in 2021. On January 17, 2022, the Supervisory Board of the Company resolved to amend the wording of the Articles of Association to reflect the higher share capital of € 34,231,943 and filed this amendment for entry in the Commercial Register. The entry in the Commercial Register was made on January 29, 2022.

Restrictions Affecting Voting Rights and the Transfer of Shares

Our Management Board is not aware of any restrictions that may affect voting rights or the transfer of shares, or any restrictions that may emerge from agreements between shareholders.

Voting rights restrictions may also arise from the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), such as those pursuant to Section 136 AktG, or the provisions for treasury shares pursuant to Section 71b AktG.

Interests in Share Capital Exceeding 10% of Voting Rights

We have not been made aware or notified of any direct or indirect interests in the Company's share capital that exceed 10% of the voting rights.

Shares with Special Rights Conferring Powers of Control

Shares with special rights conferring powers of control do not exist.

Control over Voting Rights with regard to Employee Ownership of Capital

Employees who hold shares in the Company exercise their voting rights directly in accordance with the statutory provisions and the Articles of Association, as do other shareholders.

Appointment and Dismissal of Management Board Members and Amendments to the Articles of Association

In accordance with Section 6 of the Articles of Association and Section 84 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Supervisory Board determines the number of members on the Management Board, appoints and revokes members and nominates the Chairman. Until December 31, 2021, the Management Board consisted of the Chairman and three further members. Since the departure of Roland Wandeler, Ph.D., the Management Board consists only of the Chairman of the Management Board and two further members. Members of the Management Board can be appointed for a maximum term of five years. Reappointments and extensions in the term of office are allowed for a maximum term of five years in each case. The Supervisory Board may revoke the appointment of a Management Board member or Chairman of the Management Board for good cause as defined by Section 84 (3) AktG. Where the Management Board lacks a required member, a Management Board member will be appointed by the court in urgent cases pursuant to Section 85 AktG.

As a rule, the Articles of Association can only be amended by a resolution of the General Meeting in accordance with Section 179 (1) sentence 1 AktG. Pursuant to Section 179 (2) sentence 2 AktG in conjunction with Section 20 of the Articles of Association, our Annual General Meeting resolves on amendments to the Articles of Association generally with a simple majority of the votes cast and a simple majority of the share capital represented. If the law stipulates a higher mandatory majority of votes or capital, this shall apply. Amendments to the Articles of Association that only affect their wording can be resolved by the Supervisory Board in accordance with Section 179 (1) sentence 2 AktG in conjunction with Section 12 (3) of the Articles of Association.

Power of the Management Board to Issue Shares

The Management Board's power to issue shares is granted under Section 5 (5) through (6i) of the Company's Articles of Association and the statutory provisions. The Supervisory Board is authorized to amend the wording of the Articles of Association in accordance with the scope of the capital increase from conditional or authorized capital.

1. Authorized Capital

In the case of an authorized capital increase, the Management Board is authorized with the consent of the Supervisory Board to determine the further details of the capital increase and its implementation.

• a. Pursuant to Article 5 (5) of the Articles of Association, the Management Board is authorized with the consent of the Supervisory Board to increase the Company's share capital against contribution in cash and/or contribution in kind on one or several occasions by a total of up to € 4,861,376 by issuing up to 4,861,376 new, no-par-value bearer shares until and including May 18, 2026 (Authorized Capital 2021-I).
• b. In case of capital increases, shareholders are principally entitled to subscription rights. The shares may also be subscribed to by one or several credit institutions with the obligation to offer the shares to shareholders for subscription. The Management Board with the Supervisory Board's consent is, however, authorized to exclude shareholders' subscription rights in the following cases:
• aa) in the case of a capital increase against contribution in cash, to the extent necessary to avoid fractional amounts; or
• bb) in the case of a capital increase against contribution in kind; or
• cc) in the case of a capital increase against contribution in cash to the extent the new shares shall be placed on a foreign stock exchange in the context of an IPO.

The total number of shares to be issued by way of a capital increase against contribution in cash and/or in kind, excluding subscription rights and based on the above authorizations, shall not exceed 10% of the share capital, calculated either based on the authorizations' effective date or the time they are exercised, whichever amount is lower. The 10% limit mentioned above shall take into account (i) treasury shares sold with the exclusion of subscription rights after the effective date of these authorizations, (ii) shares issued on the basis of other authorized capital with the exclusion of subscription rights during the period in which these authorizations are in effect, and (iii) shares to be issued to service convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants, insofar as the convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants have been issued with the exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights while these authorizations are in effect but in respect of items (i), (ii) and/or (iii) in each case only insofar as the shares are not used to service claims by members of governing bodies and/or employees of the Company and/or its affiliated companies under employee participation programs.

b) Pursuant to Section 5 (6) of the Articles of Association, the Management Board is authorized with the consent of the Supervisory Board to increase the Company's share capital against contribution in cash on one or several occasions by a total of up to € 1,951,452 by issuing up to 1,951,452 new no-par-value bearer shares until and including May 18, 2026 (Authorized Capital 2021-II).

In case of capital increases, shareholders are principally entitled to subscription rights. The shares may also be subscribed to by one or several credit institutions with the obligation to offer the shares to shareholders for subscription. The Management Board is, however, authorized to exclude shareholder subscription rights, with the Supervisory Board's consent, in the following cases:

• aa) to the extent such exclusion is necessary to avoid fractional amounts; or
• bb) if the issue price of the new shares is not significantly below the market price of shares of the same class already listed and the total number of shares issued against contribution in cash, excluding subscription rights, during the term of this authorization does not exceed 10% of the share capital on the date this authorization takes effect or at the time it is exercised, in accordance with or in the respective application of Section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG. This 10% limit shall take into account treasury shares of the Company, which are sold during the term of this authorization with the exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights in accordance with section 71 para. 1 no. 8 sentence 5 clause 2 AktG in conjunction with section 186 para. 3 sentence 4 AktG. Furthermore, shares issued or to be issued to service convertible bonds and/ or bonds with warrants shall be included in this 10% limit of the share capital, provided that these convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants were issued during the term of this authorization with the exclusion of subscription rights in the respective application of section 186 para. 3 sentence 4 AktG. In addition, shares issued excluding shareholders' subscription rights during the term of this authorization on the basis of other capital measures in direct or mutatis mutandis application of section 186 para. 3 sentence 4 AktG shall be included in this 10% limit of the share capital. The maximum limit reduced in accordance with the above sentences of this paragraph shall be increased again when a new authorization to exclude shareholders' subscription rights resolved by the Annual General Meeting takes effect in accordance with section 186 para. 3 sentence 4 AktG after the reduction, in the amount of the new authorization, up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital in accordance with the requirements of sentence 1 of this paragraph bb).

The total number of shares to be issued by way of a capital increase against contribution in cash, excluding subscription rights and based on the authorizations mentioned above shall not exceed 10% of the share capital when calculated based on the authorizations' effective date or exercise, whichever amount is lower. The aforementioned 10% limit shall include (i) treasury shares sold with exclusion of subscription rights after the effective date of these authorizations, (ii) shares issued on the basis of other authorized capital with the exclusion of subscription rights during the period in which these authorizations are in effect and (iii) shares to be issued to service convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants, insofar as the convertible bonds and/or bonds with warrants have been issued with the exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights while these authorizations are in effect but in respect of items (i), (ii) and/or (iii) in each case only insofar as the shares are not used to service claims of members of the Management Board and/or employees of the Company and/or its affiliated companies under employee participation programs. The maximum limit reduced in accordance with the above sentences of this paragraph shall be increased again when a new authorization to exclude shareholders' subscription rights resolved by the Annual General Meeting takes effect after the reduction, in the amount of the new authorization, up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital in accordance with the requirements of sentence 1 of this paragraph.

c. Pursuant to Article 5 (6a) of the Articles of Association, the Management Board is authorized with the consent of the Supervisory Board to increase the Company's share capital against contribution in cash and/or contribution in kind on one or several occasions up to and including May 18, 2026 by up to a total of € 315,000 by issuing up to 315,000 new no-par-value bearer shares (Authorized Capital 2021-III). The subscription rights of shareholders are excluded. The Authorized Capital 2021-III serves the purpose of delivering shares of the Company against the contribution of payment claims resulting from Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) in order to fulfill RSUs that were granted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Unit Program 2021 of the Company (RSUP 2021) exclusively to senior managers and employees (including directors and officers) of MorphoSys US Inc. The issue price of the new shares must amount to at least € 1.00 and can be paid either by way of a cash contribution and/or contribution in kind, including in particular the contribution of claims against the Company under the RSUP 2021. The Management Board is authorized to determine the further details of the capital increase and its implementation with the consent of the Supervisory Board; this also includes the determination of the profit participation of the new shares, which may, in deviation from Section 60 (2) AktG, also participate in the profit of an already completed financial year, provided that no resolution on the appropriation of profits has yet been adopted for the fiscal year in question.

d. Pursuant to Article 5 (6h) of the Articles of Association, the Management Board is authorized with the consent of the Supervisory Board to increase the Company's share capital on one or several occasions by a total of up to € 159,197 by issuing up to 159,197 new no-par-value bearer shares against cash contribution and/or contribution in kind until and including April 30, 2024 (Authorized Capital 2019-I).

The subscription rights of shareholders are excluded. The Authorized Capital 2019-I serves the purpose of delivering shares of the Company against the contribution of payment claims resulting from Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) in order to fulfill RSUs that were granted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company's Restricted Stock Unit Program (RSUP) exclusively to senior managers and employees (including directors and officers) of MorphoSys US Inc.

The issue price of the new shares must amount to at least € 1.00 and may be paid either by way of a cash contribution and/or contribution in kind, including in particular the contribution of claims against the Company under the RSUP. The Management Board is authorized with the consent of the Supervisory Board to determine the further details of the capital increase and its implementation; this also includes the determination of the profit participation of the new shares, which may, in deviation from Section 60 para. 2 AktG, also participate in the profit of an already completed financial year, provided that no resolution on the appropriation of profits has yet been adopted for the fiscal year in question.

2. Conditional Capital

• a. Pursuant to Article 5 (6b) of the Articles of Association, the Company's share capital is conditionally increased by up to € 2,475,437 through the issue of up to 2,475,437 no-parvalue bearer shares (Conditional Capital 2016-I). The conditional capital increase serves solely as a means to grant new shares to the holders of conversion or warrant rights, which will be issued by the company or companies in which the Company has a direct or indirect majority interest according to the authorizing resolution of the Annual General Meeting on June 2, 2016, under Agenda Item 7 letter a). The shares will be issued at the respective conversion or exercise price to be determined in accordance with the resolution above. The conditional capital increase will only be carried out to the extent that the holders of conversion or warrant rights exercise these rights or fulfill conversion obligations under such bonds. The shares will be entitled to dividends as of the beginning of the previous financial year, provided they were issued before the start of the Company's Annual General Meeting, or as of the beginning of the financial year in which they were issued.
• b. Pursuant to Article 5 (6c) of the Articles of Association, the Company's share capital is conditionally increased by up to € 3,289,004 by issuing up to 3,289,004 new no-par-value bearer shares (Conditional Capital 2021-I). The conditional capital increase serves exclusively to grant new shares to the holders of conversion or warrant rights issued by the Company or by companies in which the Company directly or indirectly holds a majority interest in accordance with the authorization resolution of the Annual General Meeting of May 19, 2021 under Agenda Item 10 a). The shares shall be issued at the conversion or warrant price to be determined in each case in accordance with the aforementioned resolution. The conditional capital increase shall only be carried out to the extent that the holders of conversion or warrant rights exercise their conversion or warrant rights or fulfill conversion obligations under such bonds. The shares shall participate in profits – to the extent they come into existence by the beginning of the Annual General Meeting of the Company – from the beginning of the preceding financial year, otherwise from the beginning of the financial year in which they come into existence.
• c. Pursuant to Article 5 (6g) of the Articles of Association, the share capital is increased conditionally by up to € 741,390 through the issue of up to 741,390 new no-par-value bearer shares of the Company (Conditional Capital 2016-III). The conditional capital serves to meet the obligations of subscription rights that have been issued and exercised based on the authorization resolved by the Annual General Meeting of June 2, 2016 under Agenda Item 9 letter a). The conditional capital increase will only be executed to the extent that holders of subscription rights exercise their right to subscribe to shares of the Company. The shares will be issued at the exercise price set in each case as the issue price in accordance with Agenda Item 9 letter a) subparagraph (8) of the Annual General Meeting's resolution dated June 2, 2016; Section 9 (1) AktG remains unaffected. The new shares are entitled to dividends for the first time for the financial year for which there has been no resolution by the Annual General Meeting on the appropriation of profits at the time of the shares' issue. The Management Board, and the Supervisory Board where members of the Management Board are concerned, is authorized to determine the additional detail of the conditional capital increase and its execution.
• d. Pursuant to Article 5 (6i) of the Articles of Association, the Company's share capital is increased conditionally by up to € 1,314,615 by issuing up to 1,314,615 new no-par-value bearer shares (Conditional Capital 2020-I). The conditional capital serves to fulfill subscription rights that were issued and exercised on the basis of the authorization resolved by the Annual General Meeting on May 27, 2020, under Agenda Item 11, letter a). The conditional capital increase will only be implemented to the extent that holders of subscription rights exercise their subscription rights to subscribe to shares of the Company. The shares will be issued at the exercise price determined in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of May 27, 2020, under Agenda Item 11, letter a) subparagraph (8) as the issue price; Section9 (1) AktG remains unaffected. The new shares are entitled to dividends for the first time for the financial year for which, at the time of their issue, no resolution by the Annual General Meeting on the appropriation of profits has yet been passed. The Management Board, or, insofar as members of the Management Board are affected, the Supervisory Board are authorized to determine the further details of the conditional capital increase and its implementation.

Power of Management Board to Repurchase Shares

The Management Board is currently not authorized to repurchase the Company's shares.

Material Agreements Made by the Company that fall under the Condition of a Change of Control after a Takeover Bid

A change of control as a result of a takeover bid could have an impact on our convertible bond issued in October 2020, the underlying contract of which contains customary change-of-control clauses. According to these clauses, bondholders can demand early repayment of the outstanding amounts in the event of a change of control.

The Company has not entered into any further material agreements that are subject to a change of control following a takeover bid.

Compensation Agreements Concluded by the Company with Management Board Members and Employees in the Event of a Takeover Bid

In accordance with the service agreements in force in the reporting period, the Management Board members may terminate their contract following a change of control and claim the compensation still outstanding up to the regular end of the service contract, but at least the compensation for two years, as a severance payment. In the case of Sung Lee, severance payments in the event of premature termination of the service contract due to a change of control are capped at 200% of the annual compensation in line with the new requirements of the Code. In addition, the plan terms of the long-term variable compensation programs provide that, in the event of a change of control, all granted stock options, performance shares and other comparable direct or indirect interests in MorphoSys with compensation character vest with immediate effect and can be exercised after the expiry of the statutory waiting periods.

Following a change of control, some executives may terminate their service contracts and demand a severance payment in the amount of one annual gross fixed salary and the full contractual bonus for the calendar year in which the termination is effected. A target achievement rate of 100% is applied. In such a case, all stock options and performance shares granted will vest immediately and may be exercised after the statutory vesting periods and blackout periods have expired. The following cases are considered to be a change of control: (i) MorphoSys transfers all or substantially all of its corporate assets to a non-affiliated company, (ii) MorphoSys merges with a non-affiliated company, (iii) MorphoSys AG, as a controlled company, becomes a party to an agreement pursuant to Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), or MorphoSys is integrated in accordance with Section 319 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), or (iv) a shareholder or third party directly or indirectly holds 30% or more of the voting rights of MorphoSys, or at least 30% of the voting rights are attributed to the shareholder or third party.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1 Basis of and Changes in Accounting Standards 2.1.1 Basis of Application

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), taking into account the recommendations of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC). We have applied all standards and interpretations that were in force as of December 31, 2021 and adopted by the European Union (EU). As of December 31, 2021, there were no standards or interpretations that affected our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 that were in effect, but not yet endorsed into European law. As a result, our consolidated financial statements comply with both the IFRSs published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and those adopted by the EU. These consolidated financial statements also take into account the supplementary provisions under commercial law, which must be applied in accordance with Section 315e (1) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB). In accordance with the regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the statement of profit or loss is presented for a comparative period of three years. This extends beyond the comparative period of two years in accordance with the requirements of IFRS as adopted by the EU.

The consolidated financial statements as of the reporting dates of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as the periods from January 1 through December 31 for the years 2021, 2020 and 2019, comprise MorphoSys AG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "MorphoSys Group" or the "Group"). MorphoSys AG prepares the consolidated financial statements for the largest and the smallest consolidated group.

All figures in this report were rounded to the nearest euro, thousand euros or million euros.

By virtue of MorphoSys' business model, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a limited impact on MorphoSys' net assets and financial position in 2021. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, however, has had a negative impact on the results of operations especially in 2021, specifically on lower than expected sales of Monjuvi. Furthermore, this also extends the uncertainties of planning assumptions relating to future Monjuvi-sales, which have significant effects on the financial assets and liabilities from collaborations. In addition, the adherence to the time schedule of the clinical studies was associated with higher expenses. There have been no material asset impairments that have been recognized in connection with COVID-19.

Structural Changes to the Segment Reporting

As of the first quarter of 2021, MorphoSys no longer presents the previous segment information for the Proprietary Development and Partnered Discovery segments as part of the regular internal reporting to the Management Board as the Company's chief operating decision-maker. Internal reporting focuses exclusively on the key value drivers of future revenues from product sales, further market approvals for tafasitamab, and Group royalties. The previous segment reporting was published for the last time for external purposes as of December 31, 2020. Reporting now comprises only the consolidated statement of profit or loss and no longer includes separate segment reporting. With the acquisition of Constellation, efforts related to the marketing approvals of pelabresib and CPI-0209 will expand, but this does not result in any changes in the assessment of the segment reporting.

Structural Changes to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss

The change in the Company's internal management and corresponding financial guidance for the 2021 financial year also prompted changes in the presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The following changes were implemented for the first time with the reporting of 2021:

• Presentation of the components of revenue "Product Sales", "Royalties" and "Licenses, Milestones and Other"
• Introduction of the item "Gross Profit" on the statement of profit or loss as the difference between revenues and cost of sales
• "Operating Expenses" include research and development, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses. In this context, total operating expenses for 2020 were adjusted by € 9.2 million (2019: € 12.1 million) as the cost of sales are no longer included in this sum line item in order to provide comparable prior year information.
• Introduction of the item "Impairment of goodwill" on the statement of profit or loss as a component of "Operating expenses". In this context, research and development expenses for 2020 have been adjusted by € 2.1 million to provide comparable information for the comparative period.
• The item "Earnings before Interest and Taxes" (EBIT) on the statement of profit or loss has been discontinued
• Introduction of the item "Operating Profit (+)/ Loss (–)" on the statement of profit or loss as the difference between the statement's items "Gross Profit" and "Operating Expenses"

The prior year's presentation of the figures has been adjusted accordingly in order to provide comparable information for the previous years.

Structural Changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet

To improve readability, adjustments were made to the presentation in the consolidated balance sheet. The following changes were implemented for the first time for the reporting in 2021:

• Consolidation of the asset items "Financial Asset at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" and "Other Financial Assets at Amortized Cost" into the item "Other Financial Assets"
• Asset items "Inventories, Net", "Property, Plant and Equipment, Net" and "Right-of-Use Assets, Net" have the term "Net", "Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets" has the term "Current" and "Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net of Current Portion" has the term "Net of Current Portion" deleted
• Consolidation of the asset items "Patents, net", "Licenses, net", "Licenses for Marketed Products", "In-process R&D Programs" and "Software, net" into the item "Intangible Assets"
• Change in the name of current and non-current liability line items "Other Provisions" to "Provisions" and "Convertible Bond" to "Bonds"
• Deletion of the term "current portion" for all current liability items and "excluding current portion" for all non-current liability items

The prior year's presentation of the figures has been adjusted accordingly in order to provide comparable information for the previous years.

Structural Changes to the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity

To improve readability, adjustments were made to the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The following changes were implemented for the first time for the reporting in 2021:

• Change in the name of "Compensation Related to the Grant of Stock Options and Performance Shares" to "Expenses through Share-based Payment Transactions and Issue of Convertible Instruments"
• Change in the name of "Transfer of Treasury Stock to Related Parties" to "Transfer of Treasury Stock to Members of the Management Board" and of "Exercise of Convertible Bonds Issued" to "Exercise of Convertible Bonds Issued to Related Parties"

The prior year's presentation of the figures has been adjusted accordingly in order to provide comparable information for the previous years.

Structural Changes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The aggregation of items and changes in the titles of balance sheet items resulted in corresponding changes in the cash flow statement:

• Consolidation of the items "Net (Gain)/ Loss of Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" and "Net (Gain)/ Loss of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost" into the item "Net (Gain)/ Loss of Other Financial Assets"
• Consolidation of the items "Recognition of Contract Liability" and "Contract Liability" into the item "Contract Liability"

2.2 Consolidation Principles

2.2.1 Consolidated Companies and Scope of Consolidation

MorphoSys AG, as the ultimate parent company, is located in Planegg, near Munich. MorphoSys AG has one wholly owned subsidiary, MorphoSys US Inc. (Boston, Massachusetts, USA). MorphoSys US Inc. in turn has a wholly owned subsidiary – Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. also has a wholly owned subsidiary, Constellation Securities Corp. (Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA). Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Constellation Securities Corp. are collectively referred to as "Constellation", and all entities constitute the "MorphoSys Group" or "Group".

Following the acquisition on July 15, 2021, Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. was merged into MorphoSys Development Inc., which was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of MorphoSys US Inc. on May 28, 2021, in accordance with the merger agreement. From this upward merger, Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. remained as a wholly owned subsidiary of MorphoSys US Inc.

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, were prepared by the Management Board on March 15, 2022, by resolution of the Management Board, authorized for issue, and forwarded to the Supervisory Board for review and approval. The members of the Group's Management Board are Jean-Paul Kress, M.D., as Chief Executive Officer (Chair of the Management Board), Sung Lee as Chief Financial Officer and Malte Peters, M.D., as Chief Research and Development Officer.

Sung Lee assumed the position as Chief Financial Officer on February 2, 2021.

Roland Wandeler, Ph.D., stepped down as a member of the Management Board with effect from the end of December 31, 2021.

2.2.2 Consolidation Methods

The following Group subsidiaries are included in the scope of consolidation, as shown in the table below.

Company	Purchase of Shares / Establishment	Included in Basis of Consolidation since
Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA	July 2021	15/7/2021
Constellation Securities Corp., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA	July 2021	15/7/2021
MorphoSys US Inc., Boston, Massachusetts, USA	July 2018	2/7/2018

These subsidiaries are fully consolidated as they are direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. MorphoSys controls the subsidiaries due to its full power over the investees. Additionally, MorphoSys is subject to risk exposure and has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investees. MorphoSys also has unlimited capacity to exert power over the investees to influence its returns.

The Group does not have any entities consolidated as joint ventures using the equity method, nor does it exercise a significant influence.

The assets and liabilities of the fully consolidated international entities are recognized using Group-wide uniform accounting and valuation methods. The consolidation methods applied have not changed from the previous year.

Upon consolidation, the carrying amounts of the parent company's investments in each subsidiary are offset against the parent's share in the equity of each subsidiary. Inter-company assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and profits or losses arising from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in full.

2.3 Principles of Foreign Currency Translation

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is also the parent company's functional currency. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency. The items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group's entities at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in other income or expenses. For monetary items relating to investing and financing activities, differences are recognized in finance income or finance expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

Group Companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into euros at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in "Other Comprehensive Income Reserve" (equity).

2.4 Key Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, it is necessary to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts of income and expense recognized in the period under report. The actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are subject to continuous review and are based on historical experience and other factors, including the expectation of future events that are believed to be realistic under the prevailing circumstances. Any changes in estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes are made and in all relevant future periods. The resulting accounting-related estimates will, by definition, seldom correspond to the actual results.

The estimates and assumptions that carry a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are addressed below.

Revenues

Revenues from product sales, royalties, license fees, milestones are subject to assumptions regarding variable consideration components, probabilities of occurrence and individual selling prices within the scope of the accounting and measurement principles explained in Note 2.6.1.* Accruals in connection with revenues from product sales are also affected by estimates and assumptions.

* cross-reference to page 119

Impairment of Financial Assets

Impairment losses on financial assets in the form of debt instruments and accounts receivable are based on assumptions about credit risk. The Group exercises discretion in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to calculate the impairment based on past experience, current market conditions and forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

Financial Assets and Liabilities from Collaborations

For details on estimates and assumptions in connection with financial assets and liabilities from collaborations refer to Note 5.18*. * cross-reference to page 143

Leases

In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances are considered that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option. Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended.

Licenses for Marketed Products

The acquired licenses are amortized over their estimated useful life. An impairment loss is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the licenses are impaired.

Intangible assets not yet available for use and Goodwill

The Group performs an annual review to determine whether in-process R&D programs (intangible assets not yet available for use) or goodwill is subject to impairment in accordance with the accounting policies discussed in Note 2.7.9*. The recoverable amounts from in-process R&D programs and cash-generating units have been determined using valuein-use calculations and are subjected to a sensitivity analysis. These calculations require the use of estimates (see Notes 5.10* and 5.11*). * cross-reference to page 125, page 139 and page 140

Accruals

The Group has entered into various research and development contracts with research institutions and other companies. These agreements are generally cancellable, and related costs are recorded as research and development expenses as incurred. The Group recognizes accruals for estimated ongoing research costs that have been incurred. When evaluating the appropriateness of the deferred expenses, the Group analyzes the progress of the studies, including the phase and completion of events, invoices received and contractually agreed costs. Significant judgments and estimates are made in determining the deferred balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results may differ from the Group's estimates. The Group's historical accrual estimates have not been materially different from the actual costs.

Financial Liabilities from Future Payments to Royalty Pharma

For details on estimates and assumptions in connection with the financial liabilities from future payment to Royalty Pharma refer to Note 5.19*. * cross-reference to page 144

Income Taxes

Income taxes comprise taxes levied in the individual countries on taxable profit and changes in deferred taxes. The income taxes reported are recognized on the basis of the statutory regulations in force or enacted as of the reporting date in the amount in which they are expected to be paid or refunded. Deferred taxes are recognized for tax-deductible or temporary taxable differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the IFRS balance sheet and the tax base, as well as for tax effects arising from consolidation measures and tax reduction claims arising from loss carryforwards that are likely to be realized in subsequent years. Goodwill is excluded.

The assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets considers the currently achieved total results of a legal entity as well as the expected future taxable results, derived from the corporate planning. The recognition of deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards requires management to make estimates and judgments about the amount of future taxable profit available against which the tax loss carryforwards can be utilized. Deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards are only recognized to the extent that sufficient taxable income is expected in the future.

Uncertain tax positions are analyzed on an ongoing basis and, if taxes are sufficiently probable, risk provisions are recognized in an appropriate amount in each case. Uncertainties arise, among other things, from matters that are being discussed in ongoing tax audits but have not yet resulted in final findings or are under discussion due to disputed legal situations or new case law.

As the estimates can change over time, for example, as a result of findings in the course of the tax audit or current case law, there will also be a corresponding effect on the amount of the required assessment of the risk provision. The amount of the expected tax liability or tax receivable reflects the amount representing the best estimate or the expected value, taking into account any existing tax uncertainties.

For the assessment of the impairment of deferred tax assets, the planning assumptions are influenced by key estimates and mainly include the profit forecasts of the respective legal entities.

Effects of Climate Change on Financial Reporting

In fiscal year 2021, the company analyzed potential sustainability risks in the areas of climate change and water scarcity. In both areas, the Company has not identified any material risks to its business model. Therefore, the Company does not currently expect any material impact of sustainability risks on its financial reporting.

2.5 Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Acquisition related costs are expensed in the general and administrative expenses as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and allocated to a cash-generating unit. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

2.6 Accounting Policies applied to Line Items of the Statement of Profit or Loss

2.6.1 Revenues

Recognizing revenue from contracts with customers requires the following five-stage approach:

• Identification of the contract
• Identification of performance obligations
• Determination of the transaction price
• Allocation of the transaction price
• Revenue recognition

The Group's revenues typically include revenue from product sales, royalties, license fees, milestone payments and service fees.

Revenues from Product Sales

Revenues from the sale of MorphoSys products are recognized at the transaction price at the time the customer obtains control of the product. This is defined as the point at which the customer receives the product. As a result, revenues are recognized based on a specific point in time. The transaction price represents the consideration expected by MorphoSys in exchange for the product and takes into account variable components. The variable consideration is only included in the transaction price if it is highly probable that there will not be a subsequent material adjustment to the transaction price.

The most common elements of variable consideration related to product sales at MorphoSys are listed below and are determined according to the expected value approach.

• Rebates and discounts agreed with government agencies, buying groups, specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies are accrued and deducted from revenues at the time the related revenues are recognized. They are calculated based on actual discounts and rebates granted, specific regulatory requirements, specific terms in individual agreements, product pricing and/or the anticipated sales channel mix. Because the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the product to specialty distributors and specialty pharmacies, and not upon transfer to the end-user (patient), for certain rebates the Company is required to estimate the mix of product sales between its sales channels in determining the amount of rebate that will ultimately be paid.
• Discounts offered to customers are intended to encourage prompt payment and are deferred and recognized as revenue deductions at the time the related revenues are recognized.
• Accruals for product returns are recognized as revenue deductions at the time the corresponding revenues are recognized.

Variable consideration is deducted from trade receivables, in case these are directly paid to the direct customer. In case payments are to be made to another party, these are presented as accruals. Accruals for revenue deductions are adjusted to the actual amounts when rebates and discounts and cash discounts are realized. The accruals represent estimates of the related obligations, meaning that management's judgment is required in estimating the impact of these revenue deductions.

Royalties

Revenue recognition for royalties (income based on a percentage of sales of a marketed product) is based on the same revenue recognition principles that apply to sales-based milestones, as described below.

License Fees and Milestone Payments

The Group recognizes revenues from license fees for intellectual property (IP) both at a point in time and over a period of time. The Group must make an assessment as to whether such a license represents a rightto-use the IP (at a point in time) or a right to access the IP (over time). Revenue for a right-to-use license is recognized by the Group when the licensee can use and benefit from the IP after the license term begins, e.g., the Group has no further obligations in the context of the out-licensing of a drug candidate or technology. A license is considered a right to access the intellectual property when the Group undertakes activities during the license term that significantly affect the IP, the customer is directly exposed to any positive or negative effects of these activities, and these activities do not result in the transfer of a good or service to the customer. Revenues from the right to access the IP are recognized on a straight-line basis over the license term.

Milestone payments for research and development are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event and represent variable consideration. The Group's management estimates at the contract's inception that the most likely amount for milestone payments is zero. The most likely amount method of estimation is considered the most predictive for the outcome since the outcome is binary; e.g. achieving a specific success in clinical development (or not). The Group includes milestone payments in the total transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of accumulated revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Sales-based milestone payments included in contracts for IP licenses are considered by the Group to be sales-based license fees because they are solely determined by the sales of an approved drug. Accordingly, such milestones are recognized as revenue once the sales of such drugs occur or at a later point if the performance obligation has not been fulfilled.

Service Fees

Service fees for the assignment of personnel to research and development collaborations are recognized as revenues in the period the services were provided. If a Group company acts as an agent, revenues are recognized on a net basis.

Agreements with multiple Performance Obligations

A Group company may enter into agreements with multiple performance obligations that include both licenses and services. In such cases, an assessment must be made as to whether the license is distinct from the services (or other performance obligations) provided under the same agreement. The transaction price is allocated to separate performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling price of the performance obligations in the agreement. The Group company estimates stand-alone selling prices for goods and services not sold separately on the basis of comparable transactions with other customers. The residual approach is the method used to estimate a stand-alone selling price when the selling price for a good or service is highly variable or uncertain.

Principle-Agent Relationships

In agreements involving two or more independent parties who contribute to the provision of a specific good or service to a customer, the Group company assesses whether it has promised to provide the specific good or service itself (the company acting as a principal) or to arrange for this specific good or service to be provided by another party (the company acting as an agent). Depending on the result of this assessment, the Group company recognizes revenues on a gross (principal) or net (agent) basis. A Group company is an agent and recognizes revenue on a net basis if its obligation is to arrange for another party to provide goods or services, i.e., the Group company does not control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. Indicators to assist a company in determining whether it does not control the good or service before it is provided to a customer and is, therefore, an agent, include, but are not limited to, the following criteria:

• Another party is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract.
• The company does not have inventory risk.
• The company does not have discretion in establishing the price.

No single indicator is determinative or weighted more heavily than other indicators. However, some indicators may provide stronger evidence than others, depending on the individual facts and circumstances. A Group company's control needs to be substantive; obtaining the legal title to a good or service only momentarily before it is transferred to the customer does not necessarily indicate that a Group company is a principal. Generally, an assessment as to whether a Group company is acting as a principal or an agent in a transaction requires a considerable degree of judgment.

Based on the relevant facts and circumstances, the assessment of an agreement may lead to the conclusion that the counterparty is a cooperation partner or partner rather than a customer because the contract parties share equally in the risk of co-developing a drug and in the future profits from the marketing of the approved drug.

2.6.2 Cost of Sales

The cost of sales includes the acquisition and production cost of inventories recognized as an expense, personnel expenses, inventory writedowns, reversals of inventory write-downs, impairments and scheduled depreciation and other expenses for intangible assets, costs for external services as well as other costs. Cost of sales are recognized as an expense as incurred.

2.6.3 Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are allocated to the functional costs on the basis of cost centers or percentage allocation keys.

Research and Development Expenses

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Development costs are generally expensed as incurred. Development costs are recognized as an intangible asset when the criteria such as the probability of expected future economic benefits, as well as the reliability of cost measurement, are met.

This line item contains personnel expenses, consumable supplies, impairment charges, impairment reversals, amortization and other costs related to intangible assets (additional information can be found in Note 5.10*), costs for external services, infrastructure costs and depreciation as well as other costs.

* cross-reference to page 139

Selling Expenses

The line item includes personnel costs, consumable supplies, amortization of intangible assets (software; additional information can be found in Note 5.10*), costs for external services, infrastructure costs and depreciation as well as other costs. This item also includes all expenses for services provided by Incyte in connection with the joint US sales activities. * cross-reference to page 139

General and Administrative Expenses

The line item includes personnel costs, consumable supplies, amortization of intangible assets (software; additional information can be found in Note 5.10*), costs for external services, infrastructure costs and depreciation as well as other costs.

* cross-reference to page 139

Expenses through Share-based Payment Transactions and Issue of Convertible Instruments

The Group spreads the compensation expenses from the estimated fair values of share-based payments on the reporting date over the period in which the beneficiaries provide the services that triggered the granting of the share-based payments. Personnel expense is recognized in the respective functional area to which the beneficiary is allocated.

Share-based compensation is considered when the Group acquires goods or services in exchange for shares or stock options ("settlement in equity instruments") or other assets that represent the value of a specific number of shares or stock options ("cash settlement"). Additional information can be found in Note 6*.

* cross-reference to page 147

2.6.4 Income Tax Expenses / Benefits

Current income taxes are calculated based on the respective local taxable income and local tax rules for the period. In addition, current income taxes presented for the period include adjustments for uncertain tax payments or tax refunds for periods not yet finally assessed, excluding interest expenses and penalties on the underpayment of taxes. In the event that amounts included in the tax returns are considered unlikely to be accepted by the tax authorities (uncertain tax positions), a provision for income taxes is recognized. Tax refund claims from uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is probable that they can be realized. Current taxes reflect the expected tax liability on the taxable income for the year, based on the enacted or substantially enacted tax rates, as well as adjustments to the tax liability for previous years.

Deferred tax assets or liabilities are calculated for temporary differences between the tax bases and the financial statement carrying amounts, including differences from consolidation, unused tax loss carryforwards, and unused tax credits. Measurement is based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and tax rules.

Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities when the taxes are levied by the same taxation authority, and the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities according to their maturity.

Assessments as to the recoverability of deferred tax assets require the use of judgment regarding assumptions related to estimated future taxable profits. This includes the amounts of taxable future profits, the periods in which those profits are expected to occur, and the availability of tax planning opportunities. The Group records a deferred tax asset only when it is probable that a corresponding amount of taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity can be utilized.

The analysis and forecasting required in this process are performed for individual jurisdictions by qualified local tax and financial professionals. Given the potential significance surrounding the underlying estimates and assumptions, group-wide policies and procedures have been designed to ensure consistency and reliability around the recoverability assessment process. Forecast operating results are based upon approved business plans, which are themselves subject to a well-defined process of control. As a matter of policy, especially strong evidence supporting the recognition of deferred tax assets is required if an entity has suffered a loss in either the current or the preceding period.

Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are generally recognized through profit and loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except for changes recognized directly in equity, and changes recognized in connection with a business combination, where the purchase price allocation results in deferred tax assets and liabilities being recognized as an offset against goodwill. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is likely that there will be future taxable income to offset. Deferred tax assets are reduced by the amount that the related tax benefit is no longer expected to be realized.

2.6.5 Earnings per Share

The Group reports basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to parent company shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated in the same manner with the exception that the net profit or loss attributable to parent company shareholders and the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding are adjusted for any dilutive effects resulting from stock options and restricted stock units granted to the Management Board and employees and convertible bonds. The potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of the dilutive earnings per share, if the dilutive effect would result in a decline in the loss per share for the respective year.

2.7 Accounting Policies applied to Line Items of the Balance Sheet

The balance sheet is presented on the basis of the current/non-current distinction. Current assets and liabilities are those that are due within a period of one year. Regardless of their maturity, accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories are also deemed to be current if they are due or sold within the normal course of a business cycle, which can be longer than one year. Deferred taxes are presented as non-current assets and liabilities.

2.7.1 Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and liabilities comprise non-derivative and derivative receivables and payables.

The Group recognizes financial instruments at the point in time when it becomes the contractual party of the instrument. A normal market purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the obligation to buy or sell the asset was entered into.

On initial recognition, the Group measures financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with the exception of trade receivables without a significant financing component, which are measured at the transaction price specified in section 2.6.1*.

* cross-reference to page 119

When the financial asset is not subsequently measured at fair value in profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of that asset will be added to the fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized as expenses in profit or loss.

Direct attributable transaction costs are deducted from the fair value if they are attributable to financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. Transaction costs are recognized directly in profit or loss if they are related to the issue of financial liabilities measured at fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset only when it is currently legally enforceable to offset the amounts and there is an intention to do so. The Group does not perform offsetting.

Financial Assets

Classification, Measurement and Disclosure

The Group's financial assets include both debt instruments and equity instruments. A debt instrument is a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the entity. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

The classification of financial assets (debt instruments) for subsequent measurement depends on the Group's business model for managing the financial assets and the asset's cash flow characteristics. The business model reflects how the Group manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. A financial asset can give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This SPPI test involves an assessment of whether the cash flows of the instrument consist solely of payments of interest and principal. Interest is typically consideration for the time value of money and credit risk. Payments of principal are payments on the principal amount outstanding.

Assets that are held in order to collect the contractual cash flows and for which these cash flows represent interest and principal payments only are measured at amortized cost (AC). Interest income from these financial assets is recognized in finance income using the effective interest method. Negative interests are recognized in Finance Expense. Gains and losses upon derecognition are recognized directly in profit or loss and recorded in the finance result. Impairment losses are recognized as a separate line item in profit or loss. The Group's financial assets at amortized cost comprise the balance sheet item "Cash and Cash Equivalents", part of the balance sheet item "Other Financial Assets" (term deposits), the balance sheet item "Accounts Receivable" and part of the balance sheet item "Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets" (restricted cash for e.g. rental deposits).

The Group considers all bank balances, cash in hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition to be cash and cash equivalents.

Assets that are held to collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets and where the cash flows represent principal and interest payments only are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The Group does not hold any financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Assets that do not meet the criteria of the categories "at amortized cost" or "at fair value through other comprehensive income" are allocated to the category "at fair value through profit or loss" (FVTPL) Gains and losses on debt instruments that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other income/expenses or the finance result in the period in which they occur. The Group's financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include part of the balance sheet item "Other Financial Assets" (money market funds) and the balance sheet item "Financial Assets from Collaborations". Derivatives with a positive fair value are recorded in the balance sheet item "Other Receivables" and derivatives with a negative fair value are recorded in the balance sheet item "Other Liabilities".

MorphoSys does not apply hedge accounting.

The Group reclassifies debt instruments only in case when there is a change in the business model for managing such assets.

For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, classification depends on whether the Group has irrevocably elected, at the time of initial recognition when the instrument is acquired, to measure the equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. If this option is not exercised, equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group has exercised the option to measure all equity instruments held at fair value through other comprehensive income. As a result, after derecognition of such an instrument, no subsequent reclassification of these gains and losses to the consolidated income statement takes place. Dividends from such instruments continue to be recognized in profit or loss under other income when the Group's right to receive payment is established. Equity instruments include the equity investments made by the Group.

Impairment and Reversal of Impairment

Financial assets in the categories measured at amortised cost (AC) and at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) require the calculation of an impairment loss, which is recognized on the basis of expected credit losses. A distinction is made between a general and a simplified impairment model.

Impairment losses on financial instruments are reported under impairment losses on financial assets. Reversals of impairment are recognized in income from reversals of impairment losses.

Impairment losses on trade receivables are reported in other expenses. Amounts, which were written off previously, but are received in subsequent periods, are recognized in other income.

Financial Instruments according to General Expected Credit Loss Model

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost. When a debt instrument is recognized for the first time, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the expected loss for twelve months. The impairment method applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. If at the reporting date, the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to twelve-month expected credit losses (Level 1). Where the expected lifetime of an asset is less than twelve months, expected losses are measured at its expected lifetime. Expected credit losses are based on the contractual cash flows multiplied by the premium of a credit default swap according to the expected maturity of the contracting party (Level 1). In case the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures impairment for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The Group currently classifies an increase in credit risk on debt instruments as significant when the premium on a counterparty credit default swap has increased by 100 basis points since the initial recognition of the instrument or if the amount is more than 30 days overdue (Level 2). If there is an objective indication of impairment, the interest received must also be adjusted so that the interest as of this date is accrued based on the net carrying amount (carrying amount less risk provisions) of the financial instrument (Level 3).

Financial Instruments according to Simplified Expected Credit Loss Model

In the case of accounts receivable, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from the initial recognition of the receivables (Level 2). In the event of objective evidence of impairment of trade receivables, such assets are reported as credit-impaired and the expected loss is calculated as the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate (Level 3).

All accounts receivable were aggregated to measure the expected credit losses. All accounts receivable are currently due from customers in the pharmaceutical industry with similar credit risk profiles. The impairment is determined on the basis of the premium for an industry credit default swap. In the event that accounts receivable cannot be grouped together, they are measured individually.

Objective indications of the impairment of financial instruments may result from an overdue period of more than 90 days, significant financial difficulties on the part of the issuer or debtor, a breach of contract such as a default or delay in interest or principal payments, an increased probability of insolvency or other reorganization proceedings, or the disappearance of an active market for a financial asset due to financial difficulties.

Financial instruments are impaired if, based on a reasonable estimate, they are not expected to be realized and one of the objective indications occurs. An indicator that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery is, among other things, when internal or external information indicates that the Group will not receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full. This is generally assumed if financial instruments are more than two years overdue.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial Liabilities

Classification, Measurement and Disclosure

Contracts for liabilities are examined to determine whether they are only equity or only debt in nature or contain components of both. If the economic substance of the contractual agreement contains both components, they are recognized separately as equity instruments and as financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:

• Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
• Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Subsequent measurement at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) can be irrevocably designated upon initial recognition or is performed for derivatives with a negative fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss in the financial result. The Group does not make a designation for measurement at fair value.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost (FLAC) are measured using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement in other income/expenses or in the financial result using the effective interest method. For financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, an assessment is made at initial recognition as to whether separable embedded derivatives have been agreed in the contract. Embedded derivatives must be separated and recognized separately at fair value through profit or loss unless their terms are closely related to the host contract. The Group's financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include trade payables (part of the balance sheet item "Accounts Payable and Accruals"), the balance sheet items "Financial Liabilities from Collaborations" and the balance sheet items "Financial Liabilities from Future Payments to Royalty Pharma".

For contracts with equity and liability components, the fair value of the liability component is determined at the time of initial recognition using the market interest rate applicable to comparable instruments. This amount is recognized as a financial liability measured at amortized cost until the contract is settled or becomes due. The component classified as equity is determined by the difference between the total value of the contract and the fair value of the liability component. The resulting amount, net of income tax effects, is recognized as part of equity in additional paid-in capital and is not adjusted in subsequent periods. Transaction costs associated with the instrument are allocated between the two components based on the allocation of proceeds. Transaction costs attributable to the debt component are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt component and are amortized over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. Such a contract includes the convertible bond in the balance sheet item "Bonds". The exercise of the conversion option does not give rise to a gain or loss, but rather to a derecognition of the liability and a recognition of equity.

All amounts on financial liabilities at amortized cost that are payable within the next twelve months, are reported as a current liability. For bonds the undiscounted cash flows within the next twelve are considered as current. For the financial liabilities from collaborations and the financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma the planned payments in the next twelve months are discounted to determine the current liability.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the underlying obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

2.7.2 Income Tax Receivables and Other Receivables

Income tax receivables mainly include receivables due from tax authorities in the context of capital gain taxes withheld to the nominal value without discount.

2.7.3 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower value of production or acquisition cost and net realizable value under the first-in, first-out method. Acquisition costs comprise all purchase costs, including those incurred in bringing the inventories into operating condition, and take purchase price reductions into account, such as bonuses and discounts. Manufacturing costs comprise all directly attributable costs as well as reasonably allocated overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less the estimated expenses necessary for completion and sale. Inventories are divided into the categories of raw materials and supplies, as well as unfinished and finished goods.

Inventory of tafasitamab used for clinical trials or research activities are presented as other current assets and once it is used costs are recognized in the income statement under research and development expenses when consumed.

2.7.4 Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses include expenses resulting from an outflow of liquid assets prior to the reporting date that are only recognized as expenses in the subsequent financial year. Such expenses usually involve maintenance contracts, sublicenses and upfront payments for external laboratory services not yet performed.

Current other assets primarily consist of receivables from tax authorities from input tax surpluses, combination drugs as well as receivables from upfront payments. Measurement is at nominal value or acquisition cost less impairments.

2.7.5 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation (see Note 5.8*) and any impairment losses (see Note 2.7.9*). Historical cost includes expenditures directly related to the purchase at the time of the acquisition. Replacement purchases, building alterations and improvements are capitalized, whereas repair and maintenance expenses are recognized as expenses as they are incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life (see table below). Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of either the asset's estimated useful life or the remaining term of the lease.

* cross-reference to page 137 and page 125

Asset Class	Useful Life	Depreciation Rates
Office Equipment	8 years	13%
Laboratory Equipment	4 years	25%
Low-value Office and Laboratory Equipment	Immediately	100%
Computer Hardware	3 years	33%
Permanent Improvements to Property/ Buildings	10 years	10%

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted when necessary.

Borrowing costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are not included in the acquisition or production costs.

2.7.6 Leases

For lessees, a uniform approach is applied to the recognition of leases, according to which assets for the right-of-use assets of the leased assets and liabilities for the payment obligations entered into are required to be recognized in the balance sheet for all leases. At the time a leased asset becomes available for the Group's use, a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability are recognized in the balance sheet.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the lease liability plus lease payments made at or before the date on which the asset is made available for use, less lease incentives received and additional initial direct costs and dismantling obligations. Subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets is at amortized cost. The right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of either the useful life or the term of the lease agreement and the amortization is recognized in profit or loss.

The lease liability is the present value of the fixed and variable lease payments that are paid during the term of the lease less any lease incentives receivable. The discounting is carried out based on the implied interest rate underlying the lease contract if the rate can be determined. If not, discounting is carried out based on the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, i.e., the interest rate a lessee would need to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value and condition to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment.

In subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the interest expense on the lease liability and reduced to reflect the lease payments made. Each lease installment is separated into a repayment portion and a financing expense portion. Finance expenses are recognized in profit or loss over the term of the lease.

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

The payments for the redemption of lease liabilities and the payments attributable to the interest portion of the lease liabilities are allocated to cash flow from financing activities.

For low-value leases and short-term leases (terms of less than twelve months), mainly technical equipment, use is made of the simplified application. Accordingly, no right-of-use assets or lease liabilities are recognized; instead, the lease payments are recognized as an expense over the term of the lease.

Impairment losses are recognized in accordance with the principles described in Note 2.7.9*.

* cross-reference to page 125

2.7.7 Intangible Assets

Purchased intangible assets are capitalized at acquisition cost and exclusively amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Internally generated intangible assets are recognized to the degree the corresponding recognition criteria are met.

Development costs are capitalized as intangible assets when the corresponding capitalization criteria have been met, namely, clear specification of the product or procedure, technical feasibility, intention of completion, use, commercialization, coverage of development costs through future free cash flows, reliable determination of these free cash flows and availability of sufficient resources for completion of development and sale. Amortization of intangible assets is recorded in cost of sales or research and development expenses.

Expenses to be classified as research expenses are allocated to research and development expenses.

Subsequent expenditures for capitalized intangible assets are capitalized only when they substantially increase the future economic benefit of the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Patents

Patents obtained by the Group are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization (see below) and any impairment (see Note 2.7.9*). Patent costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lower of the estimated useful life of the patent (ten years) or the remaining patent term. Amortization starts when the patent is issued. Technology identified in the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Sloning BioTechnology GmbH was recorded at the fair value at the time of acquisition, less accumulated amortization in subsequent measurement (useful life of 10 years).

* cross-reference to page 125

Licenses

The Group has acquired license rights from third parties by making upfront license payments, paying annual fees to maintain the license and paying fees for sublicenses. The Group amortizes upfront license payments on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the acquired license (8 to 13 years). The amortization period and method are reviewed at the end of each financial year. Sublicense fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or the estimated useful life of the collaboration for contracts without a set duration.

Licenses for Marketed Products

The balance sheet item contains prepaid license fees and milestone payments for Monjuvi that are subsequently paid after the milestones have been reached. The Group amortizes those payments over the estimated useful life of the acquired license. The duration and method of amortization are reviewed at the end of each financial year. In the case of triggering events, the asset is tested for any impairment. Because the Group applies the cost accumulation approach, milestones in the near future are not taken into account.

In-Process R&D Programs

This line item contains capitalized payments from the in-licensing of compounds, as well as milestone payments for these compounds subsequently paid as milestones were achieved. Additionally, intangible assets identified in a business combination are included in this balance sheet item. No market approvals have been granted for those compounds.

Internally Generated Intangible Assets

In 2021, certain development costs related to tafasitamab and Monjuvi have been capitalized as internally generated intangible assets for the first time, as the recognition criteria, as stated above, are met. The development of these assets is currently not yet completed and therefore they are not yet subject to amortization. Until the development activities are completed, the capitalized assets will undergo an annual impairment test.

Software

Software is recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization (see below) and any impairment (see Note 2.7.9*). Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three to five years. Software is amortized from the date the software is operational.

* cross-reference to page 125

Intangible Asset Class	Useful Life	Amortization Rates
Patents	10 years	10%
Licenses and Licenses for
Marketed Products	8 – 24 years	13% – 4%
In-process R&D Programs and Internally	Not yet amortized,
Generated Intangible Assets	Impairment Only	—
Software	3 to 5 years	33% – 20%

2.7.8 Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized from business combinations. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment (see Notes 2.7.9* and 5.11*).

* cross-reference to page 125 and page 140

2.7.9 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets and inventories are reviewed at each reporting date for any indication of impairment. The non-financial asset's recoverable amount and the inventory's net realizable value are estimated if such indication exists. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at the same time each year or determined on an interim basis, if required. Impairment is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value-inuse or its fair value less the cost of disposal. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future pre-tax cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purposes of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped into the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows from ongoing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or CGUs. A ceiling test for the operating segment must be carried out for goodwill impairment testing. CGUs that have been allocated goodwill are aggregated so that the Level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest Level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination may be allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the combination's synergies.

The Group's corporate assets do not generate separate cash flows and are utilized by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and are tested for impairment as part of the impairment testing of the CGU that was allocated the corporate asset.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill impairment cannot be reversed. For all other assets, the impairment recognized in prior periods is assessed on each reporting date for any indications that the losses decreased or no longer exist. Impairment is reversed when there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Impairment losses can only be reversed to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount net of depreciation or amortization that would have been determined if an impairment had not been recognized.

2.7.10 Accounts Payables, Accruals and Provisions

Accounts payable are presented in Note 2.7.1* under financial liabilities at amortized cost.

* cross-reference to page 121

Accruals are recognized for obligations to third parties arising from past events that are uncertain in their timing or amount. Furthermore, accruals are only recognized for legal or factual obligations to third parties if the event's occurrence is more likely than not. Accruals are recognized in the amount required to settle the respective obligation and discounted to the reporting date when the interest effect is material. The amount required to meet the obligation also includes expected price and cost increases. The interest portion of the addition to accruals is recorded in the finance result. The measurement of accruals is based on past experience and considers the circumstances in existence on the reporting date. These non-financial liabilities with a maturity of more than one year are discounted to their present value.

Provisions mainly include cash-settled share-based payments.

2.7.11 Contract Liabilities

Upfront payments from customers for services to be rendered by the Group and revenue that must be recognized over a period of time are deferred and measured at the nominal amount of cash received. For current contract liabilities, the corresponding rendering of services and revenue recognition is expected to occur within a twelve-month period following the reporting date.

2.7.12 Tax Liabilities

Tax liabilities are recognized and measured at their nominal value. Tax liabilities contain obligations from current taxes, excluding deferred taxes. Liabilities for trade taxes, corporate taxes and similar taxes on income are determined based on the taxable income of the consolidated entities less any prepayments made.

2.7.13 Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the liability method, which is commonly used internationally. Under this method, taxes expected to be paid or recovered in subsequent financial years are based on the applicable tax rate at the time of recognition.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded separately in the balance sheet and take into account the future tax effect resulting from temporary differences between carrying amounts in the balance sheet for assets and liabilities and tax loss carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities when the taxes are levied by the same taxation authority and their maturity and the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities may not be discounted.

Deferred tax assets on loss carryforwards and temporary differences are recognized and measured on the basis of projected future taxable income. They are only recognized if sufficient taxable income is available in the future to utilize the deferred tax assets.

In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, only the effects on earnings of the reversal of temporary differences arising from deferred tax liabilities, the planned results from operating activities, and possible tax strategies are taken into account. The planned results are based on internal forecasts of the future earnings situation of the respective Group company for the assessment of recoverability in the case of loss carryforwards and the long-term planning of the respective company for the assessment of recoverability in the case of temporary differences. If there are doubts about the realizability of the loss carryforwards, no corresponding deferred tax assets are recognized in individual cases, or deferred tax assets already recognized are impaired. The tax deferrals recognized are subject to ongoing reviews of the underlying assumptions. Changes in assumptions or circumstances may necessitate adjustments, which may result in additional tax deferrals or their reversal. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if they relate to the same tax authority, and the right to offset current tax assets and liabilities is legally enforceable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on an undiscounted basis. If the items underlying the temporary differences, or tax expenses and income respectively, are recognized directly in equity, this also applies to the current taxes or deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable thereto.

2.7.14 Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

Ordinary shares are classified as stockholders' equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from stockholders' equity.

Business Combination

Treasury Stock

Repurchases of the Company's own shares at prices quoted on an exchange or at market value are recorded in this line item as a deduction from common stock.

When common stock recorded as stockholders' equity is repurchased, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from stockholders' equity net of taxes and classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the proceeds are recognized as an increase in stockholders' equity, and any difference between the proceeds from the transaction and the initial acquisition costs is recognized in additional paid-in capital.

The allocation of treasury shares to beneficiaries under long-term incentive plans (in this case: performance shares) is reflected in this line item based on the set number of shares to be allocated after the expiration of the four-year vesting period (quantity structure) and multiplied by the weighted-average purchase price of the treasury shares (value structure). The adjustment is carried out directly in equity through a reduction in the line item "treasury stock," which is a deduction from common stock, while simultaneously reducing additional paid-in capital. Further information can be found in Notes 6.2.1* and 6.2.2*.

* cross-reference to page 149 and page 150

Additional Paid-In Capital

Additional paid-in capital mainly consists of personnel expenses resulting from the grant of share-based payments, the conversion option of the convertible bonds classified as equity, as well as the proceeds from newly created shares in excess of their nominal value.

Other Comprehensive Income Reserve

The line item "Other Comprehensive Income Reserve" includes changes in the fair value of equity instruments that are recognized in other comprehensive income and currency exchange differences that are not recognized in profit or loss.

Accumulated Deficit

The "Accumulated Deficit" line item consists of the Group's accumulated consolidated net profits/losses. A separate measurement of this item is not made.

3 Business Combination

In 2021 Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and its 100% subsidiary Constellation Securities Corp., Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, (both together "Constellation") was acquired via a cash tender offer. In this transaction, MorphoSys Development Inc. acquired the shares in Constellation. Following the acquisition, Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. was merged into MorphoSys Development Inc. Constellation Pharmaceuticals Inc. remained from this merger.

As a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, Constellation's business activities uses its expertise in epigenetics to discover and develop novel therapeutics that address serious unmet medical needs in patients with various forms of cancer. As of the date of the acquisition Constellation does not generate any revenues.

The cash tender offer, that started on June 16, 2021, to acquire all outstanding shares of Constellation for US\$ 34.00 per share (equivalent to € 28.79) expired at the end of July 14, 2021. A total of 42,811,957 shares with a total value of US\$ 1,456 million (equivalent to € 1,233 million) were acquired under this offer by MorphoSys Development Inc. (Dover, Delaware, USA). This represented about 89% of Constellation's total outstanding 48,094,531 shares. The remaining shares, representing approximately 11% of the total outstanding shares, were also acquired after the merger in the context of an automatic squeeze-out procedure on July 15, 2021, at the same price per share in the amount of US\$ 34.00 (equivalent to € 28.79). A total purchase price of US\$ 1,635.2 million (€ 1,384.7 million) was paid in cash for the acquisition of the shares.

The acquisition of Constellation was financed with the cash inflows received from Royalty Pharma in the amount of US\$ 1,425.0 million (equivalent to € 1,206.7 million) as well as with cash and other financial assets from MorphoSys and Constellation. For further information on cash inflows from Royalty Pharma, refer to Note 5.19*. This transaction had multiple objectives, including the acceleration of the growth strategy and expansion of the clinical pipeline in hematology/oncology. The acquisition date for accounting purposes is July 15, 2021, from which date Constellation and its sole subsidiary Constellation Securities Corp. have been fully consolidated into the MorphoSys Group.

In the period from acquisition to December 31, 2021, Constellation contributed revenues of € 0.0 million and a loss of € 60.4 million to the Group's net loss. This loss does not contain the impairment of goodwill. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021, the consolidated proforma net loss for 2021 would have been € 645.7 million. The pro-forma net loss for 2021 includes the impairment of goodwill. In determining

been valid in the event of an acquisition on January 1, 2021.

As of July 15, 2021, the acquired assets and liabilities resulting from the

this amount, management assumed that the preliminary fair value adjustments to the acquired assets at the acquisition date would also have

acquisition included the following items.

Net Cash Outflow	1,206,610
Cash and Cash Equivalents Acquired	(178,090)
Consideration Paid	1,384,700
Goodwill on Acquisition Date	541,561
Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets and Liabilities	843,139

In-process R&D Programs	719,399
Property, Plant and Equipment	1,572
Other Financial Assets	118,909
Cash and Cash Equivalents	178,090

The goodwill is attributable to several preclinical programs, especially for further indications of the main compounds pelabresib, CPI-0209 as well as other small molecules being in a very early stage of the preclinical development. Potential future cash inflows, resulting solely from the commercialization of the drug candidates will be recognized by Constellation. Hence, Constellation is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination and therefore the Goodwill was allocated to this cash-generating units.

Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

In the context of the acquisition of Constellation directly attributable transaction costs in the amount of € 19.2 million were incurred and expensed as general and administrative in 2021.

The following amount of goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition.

In addition, the following agreements, which are not attributable to the business combination and therefore not part of the purchase price, were concluded:

1. Royalty Purchase and Revenue Participation Agreements with Royalty Pharma

The acquisition of Constellation also triggered the enforcement of the royalty purchase agreement and the revenue participation agreement with Royalty Pharma on July 15, 2021. The agreements primarily serve to finance the acquisition of Constellation and to further develop the MorphoSys and Constellation product pipelines. Please refer to section "5.19 Financial liabilities for future payments to Royalty Pharma" for details of the contractual content and accounting effects.

* cross-reference to page 144

2. Development Funding Bond Agreement with Royalty Pharma

On July 15, 2021, the development funding bond agreement with Royalty Pharma became effective. Under the terms of this agreement, MorphoSys must draw at least US\$ 150.0 million (equivalent to € 127.0 million) and can draw down a maximum of US\$ 350.0 million (equivalent to € 296.4 million) within one year. Repayment will be made at 2.2 times the amount drawn according to a fixed payment schedule within ten years and nine months after the first drawdown without any repayment in the first two years after a drawdown. To date, no partial amount of the bond has been called.

3. Share-based payment programs for employees

Constellation has implemented several share-based employee incentive plans ("Plans") in previous years. These grant beneficiaries options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards ("Awards"), depending on the underlying contract. Beneficiaries are "all employees, officers and directors of Constellation and consultants to the Company (as defined and interpreted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) who are eligible to receive Awards under the Plans. These Plans specify that in the event of certain other events, such as "reorganization events," the Management Board may grant beneficiaries a cash payment in respect of any Award in exchange for the termination of the Award. The acquisition of Constellation by MorphoSys is considered to be such a reorganization event within the meaning of the program, which triggered the change-of-control clause. For the allocation of the awards to the beneficiaries, Constellation recognized a liability in the closing balance sheet as of July 14, 2021 to the beneficiaries of US\$84.9 million (€71.9 million), which was settled in cash in August 2021.

4. Retention and Severance Agreements to certain employees

Constellation has offered certain employees in key positions staggered retention bonuses depending on the term in order to bind them to the company at least for a certain period of time. Expenses totaling € 5.7 million were recognized for this until December 31, 2021 in Constellation's statement of profit or loss. In contrast, certain employees were offered severance payments in order to achieve an early termination of the employment relationship; expenses totaling € 7.3 million were recognized for this until December 31, 2021.

5. Milestone Payment to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS-Milestone)

Under a research, development and commercialization agreement entered into in 2012 with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, New York, U.S.A. ("LLS"), Constellation received research grants in the past for certain research and development activities. The agreement requires Constellation to make repayments to LLS upon the achievement of certain milestones. The acquisition of Constellation by MorphoSys meets the requirement of such a milestone and triggered a payment to LLS in the amount of US\$ 7.4 million (€ 6.3 million). Constellation therefore recognized a liability in the closing balance sheet as of July 14, 2021 to LLS.

4.5 Income Tax Expenses and Benefits

MorphoSys AG is subject to corporate taxes, the solidarity surcharge and trade taxes. The Company's corporate income tax rate in the reporting year remained unchanged (15.0%), as did the solidarity surcharge (5.5%) and the effective trade tax rate (10.85%), resulting in a combined tax rate of 26.675%.

The US tax group, comprising of MorphoSys US Inc. and Constellation is subject to Federal Corporate Income Tax of 21.0% and a blended effective State Income Tax of 4.56%, resulting in a combined income tax rate of 25.56%.

The Group recorded total income tax benefits of € 76.6 million in 2021, which consisted of deferred tax benefits of € 34.8 million on temporary differences and income of € 40.6 million on deferred taxes capitalized on losses of the period, and € 1.2 million current tax income, mainly being recognized for a losscarryback. The deferred tax benefits on temporary differences mainly relate to the recognition of the financial liabilities for future payments to Royalty Pharma, which creates a temporary difference for tax purposes.

The following table reconciles the expected income tax expense to the actual income tax expense as presented in the consolidated financial statements. The combined income tax rate of 26.675% in the 2021 financial year (2020: 26.675%; 2019: 26.675%) was applied to profit before taxes to calculate the statutory income tax expense. This rate consisted of a corporate income tax of 15.0%, a solidarity surcharge of 5.5% on the corporate tax, and an average trade tax of 10.85% applicable to the Group.

The permanent differences as of December 31, 2021 relate exclusively to the impairment of goodwill.

As of December 31, 2021, the deferred tax assets of MorphoSys AG relating to temporary differences as well as tax loss carry forwards created in 2021 have been capitalized. Deferred taxes of MorphoSys AG are capitalized in full due to the long-term positive business development and the associated positive earnings forecasts of the legal entity. The forecast period is up to 2039 and in line with the accrual period of the financial liability from collaborations, and the respective analysis is based on longterm corporate planning and supports the assessment as strong evidence that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

As far as the US tax group companies are concerned, the deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences as well as the tax losses incurred until year end, have been capitalized in the amounts where a future offset with deferred tax liabilities is assured. This takes into account any limitations on the offsetting of losses with deferred tax assets and liabilities, insofar the deferred tax liability from the purchase price allocation at acquisition date assures recoverability. For the period after the acquisition date, due to uncertain forecasts, any additional deferred tax asset can only be capitalized to the same extent, namely that sufficient deferred tax liabilities assure future recoverability. Due to the history of losses being absorbed from Constellation Level, and the current uncertainties regarding the realization of planned taxable income, corresponding deferred tax assets on loss carry forwards were only recognized as outlined in the following table.

In 2021 the purchase price allocation of Constellation resulted in € 38.7 million net deferred tax liabilities, recognized directly against goodwill. The deferred tax assets recognized in an amount of € 145.9 million were not recognized at Constellation prior to the acquisition date. There were no deferred tax items recognized against equity (2020: € 12.7 million).

4.6 Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the 2021 consolidated net loss of € 514,460,016 (2020: consolidated net profit of € 97,890,576; 2019: consolidated net loss of € 103,014,058) by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the respective year (2021: 33,401,069; 2020: 32,525,644; 2019: 31,611,155).

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking into account the potential increase in the Group's ordinary shares as the result of granted stock options, restricted stock units and convertible bonds.

The following table shows the reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share (in €, except for disclosures in shares).

The rental conditions for leases are negotiated individually and include different terms. Leases are generally concluded for fixed periods but may include extension options. Such contractual conditions offer the Group the greatest possible operational flexibility. In determining the term of the lease, all facts and circumstances are taken into account that provide an economic incentive to exercise extension options. If extension options are exercised with sufficient certainty, they are taken into account when determining the term of the contract. The leases contain fixed and variable lease payments linked to an index.

Licenses for Marketed Products

Tafasitamab

Since the market approval of Monjuvi, the compound is classified as an intangible asset with a finite useful life and amortized as of that date. The Group amortizes the intangible asset on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the acquired license until 2044 and recognizes the amortization in cost of sales. The duration and method of amortization are reviewed at the end of each financial year. In the event of triggering events, the asset is tested for impairment, if any. As of December 31, 2021, no indications of impairment were identified.

In-Process R&D Programs

Tafasitamab

In 2021, a milestone payment of € 10.4 million was capitalized for tafasitamab. This was made for an indication for which marketing approval has not yet been granted.

As an intangible asset with indefinite useful life (no foreseeable limit to the period over which this compound is expected to generate cash flows) and a carrying amount of € 10.4 million, tafasitamab was subject to an annual impairment test on September 30, 2021, as required by IAS 36. The recoverable amount of the tafasitamab cash-generating unit was determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations, which concluded that the recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount. The cash flow forecasts took into account expected cash inflows from the potential commercialization of tafasitamab, the cash outflows for anticipated research and development, and the costs for tafasitamab's commercialization. The cash flow forecasts are based on the period of patent protection for tafasitamab. For this reason, a planning horizon of approximately 22 years is considered appropriate for the value-in-use calculation. The values of the underlying assumptions were determined using both internal (past experience) and external sources of information (market information). Based on the updated cash flow forecast, the value-in-use was determined as follows: A beta factor of 0.9 and WACC before taxes of 8.1%. A sensitivity analysis was performed for the discount rate. A sensitivity analysis for changes in the cash flows was not performed since the cash flows from research and development and the commercialization of the compound have already been probability adjusted in the value-in-use calculations so as to reflect the probabilities of success in phases of clinical trials. The analysis did not reveal any need for impairment. The values ascribed to the assumptions correspond to the Management Board's forecasts for future development and are based on internal planning scenarios, as well as external sources of information.

No indicators of impairment were identified on December 31, 2021.

Pelabresib and CPI-0209

As part of the acquisition of Constellation, not yet available for use research and development programs in development (pelabresib and CPI-0209) in the amount of € 717.4 million (pelabresib) and € 2.0 million (CPI-0209) were identified and capitalized in 2021. Further information can be found in Note 3* of these notes.

* cross-reference to page 126

As intangible assets with indefinite useful life (no foreseeable limit to the period over which this compound is expected to generate cash flows) and a carrying amount of together € 719.4 million, pelabresib and CPI-0209 were subject to an annual impairment test on December 31, 2021, as required by IAS 36. Pelapresib and CPI-0209 each constitute a cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount was determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations, which concluded that the recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount. The cash flow forecasts took into account expected cash inflows (revenues based on patient numbers and the price obtained in the market) from the potential commercialization of pelabresib and CPI-0209, the cash outflows for anticipated research and development, and the costs for the commercialization of pelabresib and CPI-0209. The cash flow forecasts are based on the period of patent protection for pelabresib and CPI-0209. For this reason, a planning horizon of approximately 23 years is considered appropriate for the value-in-use calculation. The values of the underlying assumptions were determined using both internal (past experience) and external sources of information (market information). Based on the updated cash flow forecast, the valuein-use was determined as follows: A beta factor of 1.7 and WACC before taxes of 12.8%.

A sensitivity analysis was performed for the underlying estimates. In each case, one planning assumption is changed and all other estimates are kept constant. This would have resulted in the following effects on the value-in-use. The analysis did not reveal any need for impairment. The values ascribed to the assumptions correspond to the Management Board's forecasts for future development and are based on internal planning scenarios, as well as external sources of information.

5.11 Goodwill

Slonomics Technology

As of September 30, 2021, goodwill of € 1.6 million from the 2010 acquisition of Sloning BioTechnology GmbH was subject to an annual impairment test. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit Slonomics technology was determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations. The calculation showed that the value-in-use was higher than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit. The cash flow forecasts took into account future free cash flows from the contribution of the Slonomics technology to partnered programs. The cash flow forecasts are based on a period of ten years because the Management Board believes that commercialization through licensing agreements, milestone payments, and royalties is only feasible by means of medium- to long-term contracts. For this reason, a planning horizon of ten years is considered appropriate for the value-in-use calculation. The values of the underlying assumptions were determined using both internal (past experience) and external sources of information (market information). Based on the updated tenyear cash flow forecast, the value-in-use was determined as follows: A beta factor of 0.9 (2020: 0.9), WACC before taxes of 8.5% (2020: 8.5%) and a perpetual growth rate of 1.0% (2020: 0.9%). A sensitivity analysis was performed for the growth rate and the discount rate for calculating value-inuse. The sensitivity analysis took into account the change in one assumption, with the remaining assumptions remaining unchanged from the original calculation. A change in the pre-tax WACC of +1.0% would cause a € 0.2 million lower value-in-use of goodwill and an impairment by this amount would be necessary. A sensitivity analysis for changes in the cash flows has not been performed since the cash flows have already been probability-adjusted in the value-in-use calculations so as to reflect the probabilities of success in phases of clinical trials. This analysis did not reveal any need for impairment. The values ascribed to the assumptions correspond to the Management Board's forecasts for future development and are based on internal planning scenarios as well as external sources of information.

No indication of impairment was identified as of December 31, 2021.

Constellation

As of December 31, 2021, goodwill of €564.7 million from the acquisition of Constellation was subject to an impairment test. Goodwill was allocated to the group of cash-generating units Constellation, as goodwill is monitored at this level. In addition, future potential cash flows of this group of cash-generating units will only be generated by Constellation's own compounds, which are also recognized by these companies. MorphoSys decided in the last quarter of the reporting year 2021 to focus its research efforts on the most advanced discovery and technology programs and to centralize all laboratory activities at its German research hub in Planegg, Germany. Consequently, all US-based activities relating to discovery biology and drug discovery departments were abandoned. Therefore, any early pipeline projects cannot be realized anymore and the expected cash flows from these projects will not materialize accordingly. Since the early pipeline was part of the goodwill acquired as of July 15, 2021, an impairment test was performed as of December 31, 2021, based on the latest cash flow projections.

The recoverable amount of the group of cash-generating units Constellation was determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations. The calculation showed that the value-in-use (€ 334.0 million) was lower than the carrying amount of this group of cash-generating units and an impairment of € 230.7 million was recognized as a result. The cash flow projections included expected payments from the commercialization of pelabresib and other compounds, the cash outflows for anticipated research and development, and the costs for pelabresib's and the other compounds' commercialization. The cash flow forecasts are based on the period of patent protection for pelabresib and the other compounds. For this reason, a planning horizon of approximately 23 years is considered appropriate for the value-in-use calculation. The values of the underlying assumptions were determined using both internal (past experience) and external sources of information (market information). Based on the cash flow forecast, the value-in-use was determined as follows: A beta factor of 1.7 and WACC before taxes of 14.1%.

A sensitivity analysis was performed for the underlying estimates. In each case, one planning assumption is changed and all other estimates are kept constant. This would have resulted in lower or higher impairment of goodwill. The values ascribed to the assumptions correspond to the Management Board's forecasts for future development and are based on internal planning scenarios, as well as external sources of information.

5.12 Deferred Tax Assets

The Group recognized deferred tax assets of € 186.5 million in the 2021 financial year (December 31, 2020: € 132.8 million), the increase was mainly due to the capitalization of deferred tax assets on current year tax losses of MorphoSys AG and deferred tax assets on temporary differences on the financial liability from future payments to Royalty Pharma.

5.13 Accounts Payable and Accruals

Accounts payable and licenses payable were non-interest-bearing and, under normal circumstances, have payment terms of no more than 30 days.

Accounts payable and accruals are listed in the following table. In the financial reporting 2020, licenses payable were presented separately. These have been included in accounts payable in 2021.

5.14 Tax Liabilities and Provisions

As of December 31, 2021, the Group recorded tax liabilities and provisions of € 4.7 million (December 31, 2020: € 67.3 million).

Tax liabilities included primarily provisions for income taxes. Provisions included mainly expenses for share-based payments when these are settled by other assets equivalent to the value of a certain number of shares or stock options ("cash settlement"), as well as personnel recruitment measures.

The table below shows the development of tax liabilities and current and non-current provisions in the 2021 financial year.

5.15 Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities related to transaction prices paid by customers that were allocated to unfulfilled performance obligations as of December 31, 2021. It is expected that the realization of current contract liabilities will be in the 2022 financial year and non-current contract liabilities mainly in the 2023 financial year. The changes in this item are shown in the table below.

5.16 Deferred Tax Liabilities

As of December 31, 2021, deferred tax liabilities of € 22.1 million were recognized after offsetting (December 31, 2020: € 5.1 million), the increase is mainly due to the addition of the net deferred tax liabilities from the purchase price allocation of Constellation.

5.17 Bonds

MorphoSys AG placed non-subordinated, unsecured convertible bonds in 2020 for a nominal amount of € 325.0 million, equal to 3,250 bonds with a nominal amount of € 100,000 each, and maturing on October 16, 2025.

The convertible bonds were issued at 100% of their nominal amount and carry a coupon of 0.625% p.a. payable semi-annually. The conversion price is € 131.29. The convertible bonds are traded on the Open Market Segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The convertible bonds are convertible between November 26, 2020 and the fortieth trading day prior to maturity. As of the maturity date, MorphoSys has the right to either pay the full amount in cash or to settle a certain amount through the delivery of shares. The convertible bonds are convertible into approximately 2,475,436 new or existing bearer ordinary shares MorphoSys.

MorphoSys is entitled to redeem the convertible bonds at any time the market price of MorphoSys shares reaches at least 130% of the then applicable conversion price over a period of twenty trading days or when only 20% or less of the original total nominal amount of the convertible bond is still outstanding. Repayment is then made in the amount of the nominal value plus accrued interest.

The holders of the convertible bonds have a conditional call right should an investor directly or indirectly acquire at least 30% of the voting rights in MorphoSys (representing a change of control). In the event of such a change of control, each convertible bondholder has the right to call the bonds that have not yet been converted or redeemed. Repayment is then made in the amount of the nominal value plus accrued interest.

The conversion right securitized in the convertible bond represents an equity instrument and was recognized in equity for an amount of € 49.2 million net of issuance costs attributable to the equity component. The equity component is not adjusted over time, and the liability component is classified as a financial liability at amortized cost. As of the date of initial recognition, the liability component amounted to € 270.7 million after the deduction of issuance costs. The difference between this amount and the nominal value of € 325.0 million is recognized as an interest expense over the term of the financial liability using the effective interest method.

The early termination rights from MorphoSys (issuer call and clean-up call) and the put option of the convertible bondholders in the case of change of control all represent embedded derivatives that, however, have not been separated in accordance with IFRS 9, as they are considered to be closely related to the base contract. Accordingly, these components are included in the financial liability.

There were no bond conversions in 2021 and 2020.

5.18 Financial Assets and Liabilities from Collaborations

MorphoSys AG and Incyte Corporation signed a collaboration and license agreement in 2020 for the further global development and commercialization of MorphoSys's proprietary anti-CD19 antibody tafasitamab. Under the terms of this agreement, MorphoSys could, among other things, pending on the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones, receive milestone payments amounting to up to US\$1.1 billion (approximately € 971.2 million). MorphoSys also receives tiered royalties in a mid-teen to mid-twenties percentage of net sales of Monjuvi outside the US. In the US, MorphoSys and Incyte co-commercialize Monjuvi, with MorphoSys being responsible for the commercial relationship with the end customer, which also comprises the deliveries of the drug and the collection of the related cash inflows. The revenues from product sales of Monjuvi are, therefore, recognized by MorphoSys, as it is the principal of the transaction. Incyte and MorphoSys are jointly responsible for the commercialization activities in the US and will equally share any profits and losses (50/50 basis). Outside the US, Incyte has received exclusive commercialization rights, determines the commercialization strategy and is responsible for the commercial relationship with the end customer, including the deliveries of the drug and the collection of the related cash inflows. Therefore, Incyte will recognize all revenues generated from sales of tafasitamab outside the US and will pay royalties to MorphoSys on these sales.

As part of the agreement, MorphoSys recorded the balance sheet items "Financial Assets from Collaborations" and "Financial Liabilities from Collaborations". The financial asset represents MorphoSys's current reimbursement claim against Incyte from the expected future losses associated with the US commercialization activities (as Incyte has agreed to compensate MorphoSys for 50% of said losses) measured at fair value. The non-current financial liability, measured initially at fair value, represents Incyte's prepaid entitlement to future profit sharing on sales of Monjuvi in the US (as MorphoSys will share 50% of these profits with Incyte). Incyte has already acquired this right with the payments made in 2020; therefore, a liability had to be recognized at that time. The basis for the initial valuation at fair value is the corporate planning and its shared profits and losses thereof in connection with the commercialization activities of MorphoSys and Incyte in the United States for the years ahead.

The financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and the financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any resulting effective interest is recognized in the finance result. The basis for the valuation at fair value is the corporate planning and its shared profits and losses thereof in connection with the commercialization activities of MorphoSys and Incyte in the US for the years ahead. Cash flows from the profits and losses shared equally between the two parties are generally recognized directly against the financial asset or financial liability. Differences between the planned and actual cash flows from the financial asset or financial liability are recorded in the finance result. Effects resulting from changes in planning estimates regarding the expected net cash flows from financial assets and financial liabilities are also recognized in the finance result. The initial effective interest rate continues to be applied for the subsequent measurement of the financial liability, whereas the current yield curve is used for the financial assets. Foreign currency translation effects from the financial asset or financial liability are also recognized in the finance result.

The planning assumptions are influenced by estimates and mainly comprise revenues and costs for the production and sale of Monjuvi in the US, the discount rate and the expected term of cash flows. Revenues are affected by variable influencing factors such as patient numbers and the number of doses of Monjuvi administered, as well as the price that can be obtained in the market. Costs include the manufacturing costs for these doses of Monjuvi and other cost components for e.g. sale, transport, insurance and packaging. To determine the fair value of financial assets from collaborations, expected cash inflows from Incyte's planned losses resulting from the co-promotion activities of Monjuvi in the USA are discounted using market interest rates of financial instruments with comparable currencies and maturities, taking into account Incyte's credit risk. The expected cash outflows are discounted using market interest rates of financial instruments with comparable currencies and maturities, taking into account the credit risk of MorphoSys The term is the estimated time period over which Monjuvi will generate benefits in the approved indication and therefore the expected term of product sales in the US. These estimates are based on assumptions that are jointly arrived at and approved quarterly by the responsible departments at MorphoSys and Incyte. Financial assets and financial liabilities from collaborations are furthermore subject to significant uncertainties from currency exchange rate developments.

As of December 31, 2021, US\$ 18.9 million (€ 16.7 million) were recognized as a current financial asset and US\$ 1.2 million (€ 1.1 million) as a current and US\$ 581.3 million (€ 513.3 million) as a non-current financial liability as result of the collaboration with Incyte.

MorphoSys and Incyte will also share the development costs for the jointly initiated worldwide and US-specific clinical trials at a ratio of 55% (Incyte) to 45% (MorphoSys). This 45% share of development costs borne by MorphoSys is included in research and development costs. Should MorphoSys provide services in excess of this 45% share, MorphoSys will be entitled to a compensation claim against Incyte, which will qualify as revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. Related expenses for the provision of the service are recognized as cost of sales. Conversely, MorphoSys has to bear additional research and development expenses if Incyte performs more than 55% of the total clinical trial services. In addition, Incyte will assume 100% of future development costs for clinical trials in countries outside the United States, which are conducted in Incyte's own responsibility. Incyte has the option to obtain development services from MorphoSys for this purpose. If this option is exercised, the related income will be recognized as revenue.

The financial assets from collaborations are measured FVTPL and their measurement is based on the above-mentioned partly unobservable parameters. This results in a fair value classification in the Level 3 measurement hierarchy. The assets changed in 2021 as follows:

in 000' €	2021	2020
Balance as of January 1	42,870	0
Additions	0	45,090
Cash Receipts	(40,004)	(12,677)
Through Profit or Loss
(in Finance Result)	13,864	10,457
Balance as of December 31	16,730	42,870

If the expected sales revenues and cost components had changed by 1%, the fair value of the financial asset from collaborations would have been in a range of € 16.2 million to € 17.3 million.

The estimates underlying the financial liabilities from collaboration are subject to a sensitivity analysis below. This would have resulted in the following effects on the carrying amount of the financial liabilities from collaborations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. In each case, one planning assumption is changed and all other estimates are kept constant.

5.19 Financial Liabilities from Future Payments to Royalty Pharma

The acquisition of Constellation also triggered the enforcement of the royalty purchase agreement and the revenue participation agreement with Royalty Pharma on July 15, 2021. The agreements primarily serve to finance the acquisition of Constellation and to further develop the MorphoSys and Constellation product pipelines.

Under the terms of the agreements, Royalty Pharma made a non-refundable payment of US\$ 1,425.0 million (equivalent to € 1,206.7 million) to MorphoSys. In addition, a contingent purchase price payment from Royalty Pharma to MorphoSys of up to US\$ 100.0 million (€ 84.7 million) was agreed, which is subject to the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones for otilimab from GSK, gantenumerab from Roche and pelabresib from Constellation.

In return, MorphoSys has agreed in the royalty purchase agreement to pass on the following to Royalty Pharma: 100% of MorphoSys' entitlement since April 1, 2021, for royalties from net sales of Tremfya from Janssen, 80% of future royalties as well as 100% of the future milestone payments for otilimab from GSK and 60% of future royalties for gantenerumab from Roche. Constellation will pass on 3% of future net sales of clinicalstage compounds (pelabresib and CPI-0209) to Royalty Pharma based on the revenue participation agreement. If net sales of pelabresib exceed US\$ 30.00 million (€ 25.4 million) in any fiscal year, an additional purchase price of US\$ 50.00 million (€ 42.3 million) will be due. However, the rights to the underlying intellectual property of pelabresib and CPI-0209 will remain with MorphoSys.

Currently, only Tremfya has market approval and generates royalties from net sales, which are to be passed on to Royalty Pharma. Otilimab, gantenumerab, pelabresib and CPI-0209 are currently in clinical development and it is uncertain whether MorphoSys will receive royalty or milestone payments or generate revenues from them in the future.

In addition, Royalty Pharma has agreed to acquire equity in MorphoSys in the amount of up to US\$ 100.0 million (€ 84.7 million) or a maximum of 3,289,004 shares. To this end, on July 16, 2021, MorphoSys, by resolution of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, carried out a capital increase from Authorized Capital 2021-II excluding the subscription rights of existing shareholders by means of a cash contribution. In the course of the capital increase, 1,337,552 shares (nominal amount € 1,337,552) were newly created on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, registered in the commercial register on July 29, 2021, and the capital increase became effective on that date. This resulted in an inflow of € 84.7 million and corresponds to € 63.35 per share. The purchase price of the shares corresponds to the volume-weighted average price of 5 days and was € 6.85 per share above the share price at the time of the resolution. The capital increase thus includes a share premium of € 9.2 million. In connection with Royalty Pharma's participation in MorphoSys's equity, € 1.3 million (corresponding to a nominal value of € 1 per ordinary share) were recognized in subscribed capital and € 83.3 million (including deduction of transaction costs) in additional paid-in capital as part of the capital increase. It was agreed with Royalty Pharma that the latter may not sell the acquired shares within one year of acquisition. As the agreed lock-up period is in the interest of both parties, it is assumed that the fair value of the capital contribution corresponds to the amount of cash paid by Royalty Pharma.

On July 15, 2021, the development funding bond agreement with Royalty Pharma became effective. Under the terms of this agreement, MorphoSys must draw at least US\$ 150.0 million (equivalent to € 127.0 million) and can draw down a maximum of US\$ 350.0 million (equivalent to € 296.4 million) within one year. Repayment will be made at 2.2 times the amount drawn according to a fixed payment schedule within ten years and nine months after the first drawdown without any repayment in the first two years after a drawdown. To date, no partial amount of the bond has been called.

The payment of US\$ 1,425.0 million (€ 1,206.7 million) was recognized as non-current financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma taking into account directly attributable transaction costs of US\$ 0.9 million (€ 0.8 million). The portion of the liability expected to be due to Royalty Pharma within the next 12 months after the balance sheet date is reported as part of current financial liabilities. As all of the agreements with Royalty Pharma described above were entered into on an arm's length basis, it can be assumed that the consideration paid by Royalty Pharma corresponds in total to the fair value of the liabilities entered into. However, as the implied interest rate on the development funding bond individually is 14% which is higher than the market interest rate of 6.5%, it can be assumed that part of the consideration is to be considered as compensation for the market inequity (off-market component in the amount of the present value of the interest rate differential) on the development funding bond. Accordingly, the financial liabilities to Royalty Pharma were reduced by US\$ 69.0 million (€ 58.4 million), and this amount was allocated to the development funding bond as compensation for the market inequity. The market inequity of the development funding bond is also presented in the balance sheet item "Financial Liabilities from Future Payments to Royalty Pharma". The off-market component is amortized to interest expense over the term in accordance with the effective interest rate method. As of December 31, 2021 the financial liability from future payments to Royalty Pharma contains a liability from the sale of future royalties as well as revenue participation of € 1,193.3 million and for the market inequity of the development funding bond of €62.9 million.

The financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The resulting effective interest is recognized in the financial result. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of the current financial liability is € 88.4 million and the carrying amount of the non-current financial liability is € 1,167.8 million.

The financial liabilities represent the obligation of MorphoSys to forward to Royalty Pharma certain future license income in the form of royalties and milestones of Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab and of shares of future net sales of the product candidates pelabresib and CPI-0209 (as described above) as well as the market inequity of the contractually agreed minimum amount of the development funding bond. There is no cash inflow and outflow at MorphoSys, as the agreed royalty percentages and milestones are paid directly by Janssen, GSK and Roche to Royalty Pharma. The initial measurement at fair value was based on corporate planning and the resulting net sales for the coming years. The cash flows from the transfer of assigned license revenues are generally recognized directly against the financial liability. Deviations of the actual cash flows from the original planning are recognized in the financial result. Effects resulting from changes in the planning assumptions regarding the expected net cash flows are also recognized in the financial result. The initial effective interest rate continues to be used for the subsequent measurement of the financial liability. Foreign currency translation effects from the financial liabilities are also recognized in the financial result. Royalty revenue from any product sales will continue to be recognized by MorphoSys, which acts as the principal.

The planning assumptions are influenced by estimates and mainly relate to the expected revenues from Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab, pelabresib and CPI-0209, the initial discount rate and the expected term of the cash flows. Revenues are influenced by variable factors such as patient numbers and the number of doses administered as well as the price that can be achieved in the market. The term represents the estimated period over which Tremfya in the approved indication and otilimab, gantenerumab and pelabresib will generate future cash inflows and therefore the expected duration of product sales. The above estimates are weighted with an expected probability of obtaining regulatory approval. The cash inflows and outflows represent an estimate of future revenues and costs from the outlicensed products and are subject to a significant degree of judgment. These estimates are based on assumptions that are developed and approved by the responsible departments of MorphoSys on a quarterly basis.

The estimates underlying the financial liability are subject to a sensitivity analysis below. This would have resulted in the following effects on the fair value of the financial liabilities upon initial recognition. In each case, one planning assumption is changed and all other estimates are kept constant.

5.20 Stockholders' Equity

5.20.1 Common Stock

As of December 31, 2021, the Company's fully paid common stock, including treasury shares, amounted to € 34,231,943 and 34,231,943 shares, representing an increase of € 1,341,897 and 1,341,897 shares compared to € 32,890,046 and 32,890,046 shares as of December 31, 2020. Each no-par value share of common stock with a notional value of € 1 is entitled to dividends and grants one vote at the general meeting with the exception of the treasury shares held by the Company. The common stock increased due to Royalty Pharma's purchase of 1,337,552 shares, created from a capital increase from Authorized Capital 2021-II, as well as from the exercise of 4,345 stock options granted to employees amounting to € 4,345, or 4,345 shares. The weighted-average exercise price of the exercised stock options amounted to € 55.52.

5.20.2 Authorized Capital

In comparison to December 31, 2020, the number of authorized ordinary shares decreased from 15,214,050 (€ 15,214,050) to 7,287,025 (€ 7,287,025). At the Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2021, Authorized Capital 2021-I in the amount of 4,861,376, Authorized Capital 2021-II in the amount of 3,289,004 and Authorized Capital 2021-III in the amount of 315,000 were newly created. The remaining Authorized Capital 2018-I in the amount of 11,768,314 and the remaining Authorized Capital 2020-I in the amount of 3,286,539 were canceled at this Annual General Meeting. The number was also reduced by the capital increase of 1,337,552 from the Authorized Capital 2021-II carried out in July 2021 under the agreement with Royalty Pharma.

Under the Authorized Capital 2021-I, the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital on one or several occasions until and including May 18, 2026 against cash and/or non-cash contributions by a total of up to € 4,861,376 by issuing up to 4,861,376 new no-par-value bearer shares.

Under the Authorized Capital 2021-II, the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital on one or several occasions until and including May 18, 2026 against cash contributions by a total of up to € 3,289,004 by issuing up to 3,289,004 new no-par-value bearer shares.

Under the Authorized Capital 2021-III, the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Company's share capital on one or several occasions until and including May 18, 2026 against cash contributions and/or contributions in kind by a total of up to € 315,000 by issuing up to 315,000 new no-par-value bearer shares.

Pursuant to the Company's articles of association, the shareholders may authorize the Management Board to increase the share capital with the consent of the Supervisory Board within a period of five years by issuing shares for a specific total amount referred to as authorized capital (Genehmigtes Kapital), which is a concept under German law that enables the company to issue shares without going through the process of obtaining an additional shareholders' resolution. The aggregate nominal amount of the authorized capital created by the shareholders may not exceed half of the share capital existing at the time of registration of the authorized capital in the commercial register.

5.20.3 Conditional Capital

In comparison to December 31, 2020, the number of ordinary shares of conditional capital increased from 7,630,728 (€ 7,630,728) to 7,816,101 (€ 7,816,101). At the Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2021, Conditional Capital 2021-I in the amount of 3,289,004 was newly created. In the course of this General Meeting, the Conditional Capital 2008-III in the amount of 13,415, the Conditional Capital 2016-I in the amount of 2,832,099 and the Conditional Capital 2016-III in the mount of 253,772 were reduced. The exercise of 4,345 stock options in 2021 from the Conditional Capital 2016-III had an offsetting effect as well. The reduction from the exercise of the 4,345 stock options was entered into the commercial register in January 2021.

Although shareholders may resolve to amend or create conditional capital (Bedingtes Kapital), they may do so only to issue conversion or subscription rights to holders of convertible bonds in preparation for a merger with another company or to issue subscription rights to employees and members of the Management Board of the Company or of an affiliated company by way of consent or authorizing resolution. According to German law, the aggregate nominal amount of the conditional capital created at the shareholders' meeting may not exceed half of the share capital existing at the time of the shareholders' meeting adopting such resolution. The aggregate nominal amount of the conditional capital created for the purpose of granting subscription rights to employees and members of the management of our Company or of an affiliated company may not exceed 10% of the share capital existing at the time of the shareholders' meeting adopting such resolution.

5.20.4 Treasury Stock

In the years 2021 and 2020, the Group did not repurchase any of its own shares. The composition and development of this line item are listed in the table below.

	Number of Shares	Value
As of 12/31/2018	281,036	10,398,773
Transfer in 2019	(55,236)	(2,041,523)
As of 12/31/2019	225,800	8,357,250
Transfer in 2020	(94,386)	(3,488,506)
As of 12/31/2020	131,414	4,868,744
Transfer in 2021	(48,260)	(1,783,690)
As of 12/31/2021	83,154	3,085,054

On December 31, 2021, the Company held 83,154 treasury shares with a value of 3,085,054€ – a decrease of € 1,783,690 compared to December 31, 2020 (131,414 shares, € 4,868,744). The reason for this decrease was the transfer of 45,891 treasury shares amounting to € 1,696,131 to the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries) from the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan). The vesting period for this LTI Plan expired on April 1, 2021 and offered beneficiaries a six-month period until October 13, 2021 to receive a total of 45,891 shares. In addition, 2,369 treasury shares for an amount of € 87,558 from the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan were transferred to certain employees of MorphoSys US Inc.

Consequently, the number of MorphoSys shares owned by the Company as of December 31, 2021, was 83,154 (December 31, 2020: 131,414) and the number of outstanding shares amounted to 34,148,789 (December 31, 2020: 32,758,632). The repurchased shares may be used for all of the purposes named in the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 23, 2014, particularly for existing and future employee stock option programs and/or to finance acquisitions. The shares may also be redeemed.

5.20.5 Additional Paid-In Capital

As of December 31, 2021, the capital reserve amounted to € 833,320,689 (December 31, 2020: € 748,978,506). The increase by a total of € 84,342,183 resulted mainly from the capital increase as a result of the issuance of shares to Royalty Pharma in the amount of € 83,301,053 after deducting transaction costs of € 91,417. Furthermore, the additional paid-in capital increased due to the addition of personnel expenses from share-based payments in the amount of € 2,587,931 and the exercise of stock options in the amount of € 236,889. This was offset by the decrease from reclassifications of treasury shares in connection with the allocation of shares from the MorphoSys AG 2017 Performance Share Plan in the amount of € 1,696,131 and from the MorphoSys US Inc. 2019 LTI Plan in the amount of € 87,558.

5.20.6 Other Comprehensive Income Reserve

On December 31, 2021, this reserve included changes in the fair value of equity instruments of € –27,486 (December 31, 2020: € 1,260,132) recognized directly in equity, as well as currency translation differences from consolidation of € 52,785,077 (December 31, 2020: € 2,238,905). The currency translation differences from consolidation included exchange rate differences from the revaluation of the financial statements of Group companies prepared in foreign currencies and differences between the exchange rates used in the balance sheet and income statement.

5.20.7 Accumulated Deficit

The consolidated net loss for the year of € 514,460,016 is reported under "accumulated deficit." As a result, the accumulated deficit increased from € 157,889,210 in 2020 to € 672,349,226 in 2021.

6 Remuneration System for the Management Board and Employees of the Group

6.1 Stock Option Plans

6.1.1 2017 Stock Option Plan

On April 1, 2017, MorphoSys established a stock option plan (SOP) for the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The vesting period/performance has ended on March 31, 2021. The performance criteria were set at 110%. Each stock option thus grants 1.1 subscription rights to shares in the Company. The number of subscription rights vested per year were calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index.

The exercise price is € 55.52. The exercise period is three years after the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period, which is March 31, 2024.

Based on the performance criteria achieved, 72,650 stock options can be exercised; this corresponds to 79,935 shares. Of these, the Management Board can exercise 8,197 stock options (9,017 shares), the members of the Executive Committee can exercise 4,018 stock options (4,421 shares) and current and former employees of the Company can exercise 60,435 stock options (66,497 shares). As of December 31, 2021, 3,950 stock options have been exercised, representing 4,345 shares.

In 2021, personnel expenses from stock options under the Group's 2017 SOP amounted to € 2,757 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 62,780; 2019: 252,393).

6.1.2 2018 Stock Option Plan

On April 1, 2018, MorphoSys established a stock option plan (SOP) for the Management Board and selected Company employees (beneficiaries). The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The grant date was April 1, 2018, and the vesting period/performance period is 4 years. Each stock option grants up to two subscription rights to shares in the Company. The subscription rights vest each year by 25% within the four-year vesting period, provided that the performance criteria specified for the respective period have been 100% fulfilled. The number of subscription rights vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The program's performance criteria can be met annually up to a maximum of 200%. If the share price development falls short of the program's performance parameters, the target achievement for that year is 0%.

The exercise price, derived from the average market price of the Company's shares in the XETRA closing auction on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from the 30 trading days prior to the issue of the stock options, is € 81.04.

MorphoSys reserves the right to settle the exercise of stock options using either newly created shares from Conditional Capital 2016-III or by issuing treasury shares, or in cash should the exercise from Conditional Capital 2016-III not be possible. The exercise period is three years after the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period, which is March March 31, 2025.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries generally retain the stock options that have vested by the time of their departure.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all unexercised stock options forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 90 days occurs during the 4-year vesting period/performance period, 1/48 of the stock options granted are forfeited for each up to 30 days of absence. A period of absence is defined as absence due to illness, continued payment of remuneration in the event of illness or a suspended service or employment relationship without continued payment of remuneration.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, the stock options will become fully vested. In this case, however, the right to exercise the stock options arises only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

In 2021, personnel expenses from stock options under the Group's 2018 SOP amounted to € 52,795 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 251,855; 2019: 704,954).

6.1.3 2019 Stock Option Plan

On April 1, 2019, MorphoSys established a stock option plan (SOP) for the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The grant date was April 1, 2019, and the vesting period/performance period is four years. Each stock option grants up to two subscription rights to shares in the Company. The subscription rights vest each year by 25% within the four-year vesting period, provided that the performance criteria specified for the respective period have been 100% fulfilled. The number of subscription rights vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The program's performance criteria can be met annually up to a maximum of 200%. If the share price development falls short of the program's performance parameters, the target achievement for that year is 0%.

The exercise price, derived from the average market price of the Company's shares in the XETRA closing auction on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from the 30 trading days prior to the issue of the stock options, is € 87.86.

MorphoSys reserves the right to settle the exercise of stock options using either newly created shares from Conditional Capital 2016-III, issuing treasury shares, or in cash should the exercise from Conditional Capital 2016-III not be possible. The exercise period is three years after the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period, which is March 31, 2026.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries generally retain the stock options that have vested by the time of their departure.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all unexercised stock options forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 90 days occurs during the four-year vesting period/performance period, 1/48 of the stock options granted are forfeited for each up to 30 days of absence. A period of absence is defined as absence due to illness, continued payment of remuneration in the event of illness or a suspended service or employment relationship without continued payment of remuneration.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, the stock options will become fully vested. In this case, however, the right to exercise the stock options arises only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

On October 1, 2019, MorphoSys established a further stock option plan (SOP plan) for one member of the Management Board. The terms and conditions were identical to those of the April 1, 2019 program, and the exercise price was € 106.16. The exercise period is three years after the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period, which is September 30, 2023.

In 2021, personnel expenses from stock options under the Group's 2019 SOP amounted to € 625,806 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 1,570,241; 2019: € 1,718,087).

6.1.4 2020 Stock Option Plan

On April 1, 2020, MorphoSys established a stock option plan (SOP) for the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The grant date was April 21, 2020, and the vesting period/performance period is four years. Each stock option grants up to two subscription rights to shares in the Company. The subscription rights vest each year by 25% within the four-year vesting period, provided that the performance criteria specified for the respective period have been 100% fulfilled. The number of subscription rights vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The program's performance criteria can be met annually up to a maximum of 200%. If the share price development falls short of the program's performance parameters, the target achievement for that year is 0%.

The exercise price, derived from the average market price of the Company's shares in the XETRA closing auction on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from the 30 trading days prior to the issue of the stock options, is € 93.66.

MorphoSys reserves the right to settle the exercise of stock options using either newly created shares from Conditional Capital 2016-III, through the issue of treasury shares, or in cash should the exercise from Conditional Capital 2016-III not be possible. The exercise period is three years after the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period, which is March 31, 2027.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries generally retain the stock options that have vested by the time of their departure.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all unexercised stock options forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 90 days occurs during the four-year vesting period/performance period, 1/48 of the stock options granted are forfeited for each up to 30 days of absence.

In 2021, personnel expenses from stock options under the Group's 2020 SOP amounted to € 1,033,944 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 1,990,326).

The table below shows the development of the stock option plans in the financial year 2021.

6.2 Long-Term Incentive Programs

6.2.1 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On April 1, 2016, MorphoSys established a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for the Management Board and certain employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The vesting period for this LTI Plan expired on April 1, 2020. The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares (performance shares) of MorphoSys AG if predefined key performance criteria are achieved. These criteria are evaluated annually by the Supervisory Board. The performance criteria were based on a mathematical comparison of the absolute and relative performance of the MorphoSys share price against the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. Achievement of these criteria was set at 173.5%. In addition, the Supervisory Board set a "company factor" as 1, which determines the number of performance shares to be issued. Based on these conditions and the set factor, 91,037 performance shares of MorphoSys AG were transferred to the beneficiaries after the four-year vesting period in the period ending October 20, 2020. The Management Board received 13,677 performance shares and the members of the Executive Committee received 8,754 performance shares. A total of 68,606 performance shares were granted to current and former employees of the Company.

In 2021, personnel expenses resulting from performance shares under the Group's 2016 LTI Plan amounted to € 0 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 4,921; 2019: € 141,473).

6.2.2 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On April 1, 2017, MorphoSys established another Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The vesting period for this LTI Plan expired on April 1, 2021. The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a performancerelated share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares (performance shares) of MorphoSys AG if predefined key performance criteria are achieved. These criteria are evaluated annually by the Supervisory Board. The performance criteria were based on a mathematical comparison of the absolute and relative performance of the MorphoSys share price against the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. Achievement of these criteria was set at 130%. In addition, the Supervisory Board set a "company factor" as 1, which determines the number of performance shares to be issued. Based on these conditions and the set factor, 45,891 performance shares of MorphoSys AG were transferred to the beneficiaries after the four-year vesting period in the period ending October 13, 2021. The Management Board received 4,143 performance shares (for further information, see the tables entitled "Shares" and "Performance Shares" in Note 6.7* "Related Parties"), and the members of the Executive Committee received 2,030 performance shares. A total of 39,718 performance shares were granted to current and former employees of the Company. * cross-reference to page 157

In 2021, personnel expenses resulting from performance shares under the Group's 2017 LTI Plan amounted to € 3,530 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 80,383; 2019: € 323,165).

6.2.3 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On April 1, 2018, MorphoSys established another Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries). This plan is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares (performance shares) of MorphoSys AG if predefined key performance criteria are achieved. The grant date was April 1, 2018, and the vesting/performance period is four years. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 25% of the performance shares become vested in each year of the fouryear vesting period. The number of performance shares vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The performance criteria can be met annually up to a maximum of 300% and up to 200% for the entire four-year period. If the specified performance criteria are met by less than 0% in one year, no shares will be earned for that year (entitlement). In any case, the maximum payout at the end of the four-year period is limited by a factor determined by the Group, which generally amounts to 1. However, in justified cases, the Supervisory Board may set this factor freely between 0 and 2, for example, if the Level of payment is regarded as unreasonable in view of the general development of the Company. The right to receive a specific allocation of performance shares under the LTI Plan, however, occurs only at the end of the four-year vesting/performance period. At the end of the four-year waiting period, there is a sixmonth exercise period during which the Company can transfer the performance shares to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries can choose the allocation date within this exercise period.

If the number of repurchased shares is not sufficient for servicing the LTI Plan, MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a specific amount of the LTI Plan in cash in the amount of the performance shares at the end of the vesting period, provided the cash amount does not exceed 200% of the fair value of the performance shares on the grant date.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries are generally entitled to the performance shares that have vested up to the date of their departure on a pro rata basis.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all performance shares forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 90 days occurs during the four-year vesting period/performance period, the beneficiary is entitled to performance shares on a pro rata basis. A period of absence is defined as absence due to illness, continued payment of remuneration in the event of illness or a suspended service or employment relationship without continued payment of remuneration.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, all performance shares will become fully vested. In this case, the right to receive a specific allocation of performance shares under the LTI Plan occurs only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

In 2021, personnel expenses resulting from performance shares under the Group's 2019 LTI Plan amounted to € 54,967 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 257,494; 2019: € 720,764).

6.2.4 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On April 1, 2019, MorphoSys established another Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for the Management Board and selected employees of the Company (beneficiaries). This plan is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares (performance shares) of MorphoSys AG if predefined key performance criteria are achieved. The grant date was April 1, 2019, and the vesting/performance period is four years. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 25% of the performance shares become vested in each year of the fouryear vesting period. The number of performance shares vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The performance criteria can be met annually up to a maximum of 300% and up to 200% for the entire four-year period. If the specified performance criteria are met by less than 0% in one year, no shares will be earned for that year (entitlement). In any case, the maximum payout at the end of the four-year period is limited by a factor determined by the Group, which generally amounts to 1. However, in justified cases, the Supervisory Board may set this factor freely between 0 and 2, for example, if the Level of payment is regarded as unreasonable in view of the general development of the Company. The right to receive a specific allocation of performance shares under the LTI Plan, however, occurs only at the end of the four-year vesting/performance period. At the end of the four-year vesting period, there is a sixmonth exercise period during which the Company can transfer the performance shares to the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries can choose the allocation date within this exercise period.

If the number of repurchased shares is not sufficient for servicing the LTI Plan, MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a specific amount of the LTI Plan in cash in the amount of the performance shares at the end of the vesting period, provided the cash amount does not exceed 200% of the fair value of the performance shares on the grant date.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries are generally entitled to the performance shares that have vested up to the date of their departure on a pro rata basis.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all performance shares forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 90 days occurs during the four-year vesting period/performance period, the beneficiary is entitled to performance shares on a pro rata basis. A period of absence is defined as absence due to illness, continued payment of remuneration in the event of illness or a suspended service or employment relationship without continued payment of remuneration.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, all performance shares will become fully vested. In this case, the right to receive a specific allocation of performance shares under the LTI Plan occurs only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

In 2021, personnel expenses resulting from performance shares under the Group's 2019 LTI Plan amounted to € 190,767 based on the fair value on the grant date (2020: € 682,162; 2019: € 1,294,974).

6.2.5 2020 Performance Share Unit Program

On April 1, 2020, MorphoSys established a performance share unit program (PSU program) for the Management Board and certain employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The program is considered a cash-settled, share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The PSU program is a performance-based program and is paid out in cash subject to the fulfillment of predefined performance criteria. The grant date was April 21, 2020; the vesting period/performance period is four years. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 25% of the performance share units become vested in each year of the four-year vesting period. The number of performance share units vested per year is calculated on the basis of the performance criteria of the absolute and relative development of the MorphoSys share price compared to the development of the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The performance criteria can be met each year up to a maximum of 200%. If the defined performance criteria are met by less than 0% in any one year, no performance share units will be earned for that year. However, the right to receive a certain cash settlement from the PSU program does not arise until the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period. After the end of the four-year vesting period, there is a six-month period during which the performance shares can be transferred from the Company to the beneficiaries.

MorphoSys reserves the right to settle the PSU program at the end of the vesting period in MorphoSys AG's own ordinary shares equal to the amount of the performance share units earned. The currently available treasury stock is not sufficient to settle the vested awards. MorphoSys therefore accounts for the plan only as a cash-settled share-based payment.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries generally retain the performance share units that have vested by the time of their departure.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all performance share units forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 12 months occurs during the four-year vesting period/performance period, 1/48 of the performance share units are forfeited for each month of absence. A period of absence is defined as an absence due to illness or a period of inactive service or employment without continued payment of remuneration.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, all performance share units will become fully vested. In this case, the right to receive a specific allocation of performance share units under the PSU program occurs only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

On June 1, 2020, MorphoSys established another performance share unit program (PSU program) for one member of the Management Board. The terms and conditions were identical to those of the April 1, 2020 program.

In March 2021, the terms of the Performance Share Unit Programs (PSU Programs) of April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 for the Management Board and certain employees of the Company (beneficiaries) were amended so that the number of Performance Share Units still to be vested for the remaining three years is calculated on the basis of the performance criteria of the absolute performance of the MorphoSys share price and the relative performance of the MorphoSys share price compared to the performance of the EURO STOXX Total Market Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology Index. Previously, the number of performance share units earned in the first year was calculated on the basis of the performance criteria of the absolute and relative performance of the MorphoSys share price compared to the performance of the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 25% of the performance share units become vested in the first year, and 75% become vested during the remaining three-year vesting period. The modification of the program's terms concerns the respective remaining vesting periods/performance periods of the programs for the subsequent three years as of April 1, 2021 and June 1, 2021. The approval of the Management Board and certain employees of the Company (beneficiaries) to the modified program terms was obtained by April 17, 2021. The modification of the programs had no material impact on the fair values of the performance shares or on the period over which the personnel expenses are allocated.

In 2021, personnel expenses under the Group's 2020 performance share unit program amounted to –€ 1,083,058 (2020: € 1,166,194).

6.2.6 2021 Performance Share Unit Program

On April 1, 2021, MorphoSys established a performance share unit program (PSU program) for the Management Board and certain employees of the Company (beneficiaries). The program is considered a cash-settled, share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The PSU program is a performance-based program and is paid out in cash subject to the fulfillment of predefined performance criteria. The grant date was April 19, 2021; the vesting period/performance period is four years. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 25% of the performance share units become vested in each year of the four-year vesting period. The number of performance share units to be vested is calculated on the basis of the performance criteria of the absolute share price development of the MorphoSys share, the relative development of the MorphoSys share price compared to the EURO STOXX Total Market Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology Index and an assessment of the employee engagement. The performance criteria can be met each year up to a maximum of 200%. If the defined performance criteria are met by less than 0% in any one year, no performance share units will be earned for that year. However, the right to receive a certain cash settlement from the PSU program does not arise until the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period. After the end of the four-year vesting period, there is a six-month period during which the performance shares can be transferred from the Company to the beneficiaries.

MorphoSys reserves the right to settle the PSU program at the end of the vesting period in MorphoSys AG's own ordinary shares equal to the amount of the performance share units earned. The currently available treasury stock is not sufficient to settle the vested awards. MorphoSys therefore accounts for the plan only as a cash-settled share-based payment.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries generally retain the performance share units that have vested by the time of their departure.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all performance share units forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If an accumulated period of absence of more than 12 months occurs during the four-year vesting period/performance period, 1/48 of the performance share units are forfeited for each month of absence. A period of absence is defined as an absence due to illness or a period of inactive service or employment without continued payment of remuneration.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, all performance share units will become fully vested. In this case, the right to receive a specific allocation of performance share units under the PSU program occurs only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

As of April 1, 2021, a total of 122,005 performance share units were granted to beneficiaries, consisting of 54,232 performance share units to the Management Board, 12,340 performance share units to other members of the Executive Committee and 55,433 performance share units to certain employees of the Company who are not members of the Executive Committee. For the calculation of the personnel expenses from sharebased compensation, it was assumed for the PSU program 2021 that fifteen beneficiaries would leave the Company during the four-year period.

In 2021, personnel expenses under the Group's 2021 performance share unit program amounted to € 701,136.

The table below shows the development of the performance share unit programs in the financial year 2021.

6.3 MorphoSys US Inc. – 2019 Long-Term Incentive Program

On April 1, 2019, MorphoSys AG established a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for selected employees of MorphoSys US Inc. (beneficiaries). This program is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares (performance shares) of MorphoSys AG if predefined key performance criteria are achieved. The plan has a term of four years and comprises four one-year performance periods. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 25% of the performance shares become vested in each year. The number of shares vested per year is calculated based on key performance criteria of MorphoSys US Inc. during the annual performance period. The performance criteria can be met up to a maximum of 125% per year. If less than 0% of the defined performance criteria are met in any one year, no shares will be vested for that year. After the end of each one-year performance period, there is a sixmonth period during which the performance shares can be transferred from the Company to the beneficiaries.

If the number of repurchased shares is not sufficient for servicing the LTI Plan, MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a specific amount of the LTI Plan in cash in the amount of the performance shares at the end of the vesting period, provided the cash amount does not exceed 200% of the average market price of one share of the Company in the XETRA closing auction on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange during the 30 trading days preceding the grant of the performance shares.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries are generally entitled to the performance shares that have vested up to the date of their departure on a pro rata basis.

In the event of termination by a beneficiary for good cause, all performance shares will be forfeited without entitlement to compensation.

After the end of the second one-year performance period, a target achievement of 77% was determined. Taking this target achievement into account, 2,369 performance shares of MorphoSys AG were transferred to the beneficiaries in the period from April 1, 2021 to October 18, 2021.

The fair value of the performance shares on December 31, 2021 was € 33.35 per share.

In 2021, personnel expenses of the Group from performance shares under the MorphoSys US Inc. 2019 LTI Plan amounted to –€ 503,206 based on the fair value on December 31, 2021. (2020: € 38,888; 2019: € 1,076,158).

6.4 MorphoSys US Inc. – Restricted Stock Unit Plan (RSUP)

6.4.1 2019 Long-Term Incentive Program

On October 1, 2019, MorphoSys AG established a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for selected employees of MorphoSys US Inc. (beneficiaries). The program is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a restricted stock unit plan (RSUP) and is paid out in shares of MorphoSys AG that are to be created from authorized capital provided predefined performance criteria have been fulfilled. The term of the plan is three years and includes three one-year performance periods. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 33.3% of the performance shares become vested in each year. The number of performance shares vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of MorphoSys US Inc. and the MorphoSys share price performance during the annual performance period. The performance criteria can be met up to a maximum of 125% per year. If less than 0% of the defined performance criteria are met in any one year, no shares will be vested for that year. At the end of the total three-year performance period, the corresponding number of shares eventually vested is calculated, and the shares created from authorized capital are transferred from the Company to the beneficiaries.

MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a specific amount of the LTI Plan in cash at the end of the performance period, equal to the value of the performance shares granted.

If a beneficiary loses his office or terminates his employment with MorphoSys US Inc. prior to the end of a performance period, the beneficiary will generally be entitled to all vested restricted stock units for already completed one-year performance periods. All remaining restricted stock units are forfeited without entitlement to compensation.

The fair values of the performance shares according to the grant dates or measurement dates for each of the three performance periods were € 127.90 per share on December 13, 2019, € 94.14 per share on November 30, 2020, and € 44.63 per share on August 6, 2021.

All remaining restricted stock units are forfeited without entitlement to compensation.

The fair value of the restricted shares granted on April 1, 2020, in accordance with the grant dates or measurement dates for each of the three performance periods were € 94.14 per share on November 30, 2020, € 44.63 per share on August 6, 2021 and € 33.35 per share on December 31, 2021 .

On October 1, 2020, MorphoSys established an additional Long-Term Incentive Plan in the form of a restricted stock unit plan (RSUP) for certain employees of MorphoSys US Inc. (beneficiaries). The terms and conditions were identical to those of the April 1, 2020 program.

The fair value of the restricted shares granted on October 1, 2020, in accordance with the grant dates or measurement dates for each of the three performance periods were € 94.14 per share as of November 30, 2020, € 44.63 per share on August 6, 2021 and € 33.35 per share as of December 31, 2021.

In 2021, personnel expenses of the Group from the MorphoSys US Inc. 2021 RSU Plan amounted to –€ 462,243 based on the fair values (2020: € 1,916,267).

6.4.3 2021 Long-Term Incentive Program

On April 1, 2021, MorphoSys AG established a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTI Plan) for selected employees of MorphoSys US Inc. (beneficiaries). The program is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI Plan is a restricted stock unit plan (RSUP) and is paid out in shares of MorphoSys AG that are to be created from authorized capital provided predefined performance criteria have been fulfilled. The term of the plan is three years and includes three one-year performance periods. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are 100% met, 33.3% of the performance shares become vested in each year. The number of performance shares vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of MorphoSys US Inc. and the MorphoSys share price performance during the annual performance period. The performance criteria can be met up to a maximum of 125% per year. If less than 0% of the defined performance criteria are met in any one year, no shares will be vested for that year. At the end of the total three-year performance period, the corresponding number of shares eventually vested is calculated, and the shares created from authorized capital are transferred from the Company to the beneficiaries.

MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a specific amount of the LTI Plan in cash at the end of the performance period, equal to the value of the performance shares granted.

If a beneficiary loses his office or terminates his employment with MorphoSys US Inc. prior to the end of a performance period, the beneficiary will generally be entitled to all vested restricted stock units for already completed one-year performance periods. All remaining restricted stock units are forfeited without entitlement to compensation.

As of April 1, 2021, 67,724 restricted shares were granted to the beneficiaries. For the calculation of the personnel expenses from share-based compensation, it was assumed for the LTI Plan 2021 that thirty-two beneficiaries would leave the Company during the three-year period.

The fair value of the restricted shares granted on April 1, 2021, in accordance with the grant dates or measurement dates for each of the three performance periods were € 44.63 per share on August 6, 2021 and € 33.35 per share as of December 31, 2021.

On October 1, 2021, MorphoSys established an additional Long-Term Incentive Plan in the form of a restricted stock unit plan (RSUP) for certain employees of MorphoSys US Inc. (beneficiaries). The terms and conditions were identical to those of the April 1, 2021 program, except that the performance criteria can be met up to a maximum of 175% per year. 36,827 restricted shares were granted. For the calculation of the personnel expenses from share-based compensation, it was assumed for the 2021 LTI Plan that twenty beneficiaries would leave the Company during the three-year period.

The fair value of the restricted shares granted on October 1, 2021, in accordance with the grant dates or measurement dates for each of the three performance periods were € 33.35 per share as of December 31, 2021.

In 2021, personnel expenses of the Group from the MorphoSys US Inc. 2021 RSU Plan amounted to € 1,260,750.00 based on the fair values.

6.5 MorphoSys US Inc. – Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (CLTI Plan)

On April 30, 2020, MorphoSys US Inc. established a long-term cash incentive plan (CLTI plan) for certain employees of MorphoSys US Inc. (beneficiaries). The program is considered a cash-settled, share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The CLTI plan is paid out in cash provided predefined performance criteria have been fulfilled. The term of the plan is three years and includes three one-year performance periods. If the predefined performance criteria for the respective period are fully met, 33.3% of the performance shares become vested in each year. The amount of compensation vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the performance of MorphoSys US Inc. and the share price performance of MorphoSys AG during the annual performance period. The performance criteria can be met up to a maximum of 125% per year. If less than 50% of the defined performance criteria are met in any one year, no award will be granted for that year. At the end of the total three-year performance period, the cash compensation earned is paid by MorphoSys US Inc.

If a beneficiary terminates his employment with MorphoSys US Inc. prior to the end of a one-year performance period, the beneficiary shall lose his entitlement to a cash settlement during the relevant one-year performance period and future performance periods. Entitlements from previously completed one-year performance periods are retained.

As of December 31, 2021, and based on 100% target achievement, cash settlement under the CLTI plan at the end of the three-year performance period is expected to be € 540,857.

In 2021, personnel expenses of the Group from the MorphoSys US Inc. 2021 CLTI plan amounted to € 117,395 (2020: € 325,513). The provision for this program amounts to € 446,335 as of December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: € 300,000).

6.6 Constellation – 2021 Stock Option Plan

On October 1, 2021, MorphoSys AG established a stock option plan (SOP) for selected employees of Constellation (beneficiaries). The program is considered an equity-settled share-based payment and is accounted for accordingly. The grant date was October 29, 2021, and the vesting period/ performance period is four years. Each stock option grants up to two subscription rights to shares in the Company. The subscription rights vest each year by 25% within the four-year vesting period, provided that the performance criteria specified for the respective period have been 100% fulfilled. The number of subscription rights vested per year is calculated based on the key performance criteria of the absolute and relative MorphoSys share price performance compared to the Nasdaq Biotech Index and the TecDAX Index. The program's performance criteria can be met annually up to a maximum of 200%. If the share price development falls short of the program's performance parameters, the target achievement for that year is 0%.

The exercise price, derived from the average market price of the Company's shares in the XETRA closing auction on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange from the 30 trading days prior to the issue of the stock options, is € 44.91.

MorphoSys reserves the right to settle the exercise of stock options using either newly created shares from Conditional Capital 2020-I, through the issue of treasury shares, or in cash should the exercise from Conditional Capital 2020-I not be possible. The exercise period is three years after the end of the four-year vesting period/performance period, which is September 30, 2028.

In the event of a departure from the Company, the beneficiaries generally retain the stock options that have vested by the time of their departure.

In the event of a termination of a beneficiary for reasons of conduct or a revocation of the appointment of a member of the Management Board for reasons constituting good cause within the meaning of Section 626 (2) of the German Civil Code (BGB), all unexercised stock options forfeit without entitlement to compensation.

If a change of control occurs during the four-year vesting period, the stock options will become fully vested. In this case, however, the right to exercise the stock options arises only at the end of the four-year vesting period.

As of October 1, 2021, 323,534 stock options were granted to the beneficiaries. For the calculation of the personnel expenses from share-based compensation, it was assumed for the SOP Plan 2021 that 57 beneficiaries would leave the Company during the four-year period.

In 2021, personnel expenses from stock options under the Group's 2021 SOP amounted to € 711,223 based on the fair value on the grant date.

The table below shows the development of the stock options plans in the financial year 2021.

1 Sung Lee joined the Management Board of MorphoSys AG effective February 2, 2021.

2 Roland Wandeler, Ph.D., resigned as a member of the Management Board with effect from the end of December 31, 2021.

3 Adjustment due to established performance criteria. For performance criteria that have not yet been met, a target achievement of 100% is assumed.

4 Allocations are made as soon as performance shares are transferred within the six-month exercise period after the end of the four-year waiting period.

The Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG does not hold any stock options or performance shares.

The remuneration system for the Management Board is intended to provide sustainable, results-oriented corporate governance. The Management Board's total remuneration consists of several components, including fixed compensation, an annual cash bonus that is dependent upon the achievement of corporate targets (short-term incentives – STI), variable compensation components with long-term incentives (LTI) and other remuneration components. Variable remuneration components with long-term incentive consist of long-term incentive plans (LTI Plan) from previous years, stock option and performance share plans from previous years, and a performance share unit program and a stock option plan from the current year. The members of the Management Board additionally receive fringe benefits in the form of benefits in kind, essentially consisting of a company car and insurance premiums. All total remuneration packages are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and compared to an annual Management Board remuneration analysis to check the scope and appropriateness of the remuneration packages. The amount of remuneration paid to members of the Management Board is based largely on the duties of the respective Management Board member, the financial situation and the performance and business outlook for the Company versus its competition. All resolutions on adjustments to the overall remuneration packages are passed by the plenum of the Supervisory Board. The Management Board's total remuneration package and the index-linked pension contracts were thoroughly reviewed and then adjusted by the Supervisory Board in 2021.

If a Management Board member's service contract terminates due to death, the member's spouse or life partner is entitled to the fixed monthly salary for the month of death and the 12 months thereafter. In the event of a change of control, Management Board members are entitled to exercise their extraordinary right to terminate their service contracts and receive any outstanding fixed salary and the annual bonus for the remainder of the agreed contract period, but at least 200% of the annual gross fixed salary and the annual bonus. Moreover, in such a case, all stock options, performance share units and performance shares granted will become vested immediately and can be exercised after the expiration of the statutory vesting periods. A change of control has occurred when (i) MorphoSys transfers assets or a substantial portion of its assets to unaffiliated third parties, (ii) MorphoSys merges with an unaffiliated company, (iii) an agreement pursuant to Section 291 AktG is entered into with MorphoSys as a dependent company, MorphoSys is integrated under Section 319 AktG or (iv) a shareholder or third party holds 30% or more of MorphoSys's voting rights.

For the fiscal year 2021, the members of the Management Board were granted a total compensation of € 9,718,350 (2020 € 11,532,252), consisting of performance-unrelated remuneration of € 3,759,850 (2020: € 5,529,112), performance-related remuneration of € 2,680,000 (2020: € 2,478,346) as well as long-term incentive compensation of € 3,278,500 (2020: € 3,524,794) in the form of share-based compensation. Performanceunrelated compensation includes post-employment benefits in the amount of € 806,297 (2020: € 2,443,409) granted during the respective board membership terms.

The Supervisory Board decided, that Roland Wandeler, Ph.D. would not forfeit on a pro-rate basis the long-term incentive plans despite his termination of the employment before the end of the four-year vesting period. Because of this modification of terms and conditions, the respective personnel expense from share-based compensation for the outstanding vesting periods was allocated to the remaining period of performance. The fair value was not affected by this modification. On the occasion of his departure from the Company with effect as of the end of December 31, 2021, Roland Wandeler, Ph.D., secured a severance payment in the amount of € 806,296, payable in 16 monthly installments.

As of April 1, 2021, the Management Board was granted 54,232 Performance Share Units. The fair value as of December 31, 2021, amounts to € 11.82.

For the individualized Management Board compensation, refer to the separately available remuneration report.

In the years 2021 and 2020, there were no other long-term benefits in accordance with IAS 24.17 (c) accruing to the Management Board or Supervisory Board. No benefits upon termination of service in accordance with IAS 24.17 (d) were accrued for the Supervisory Board in the years 2021 and 2020.

Payments to former members of the Management Board amounted to € 4.6 million in 2021 (2020: € 0.6 million).

7.2 Contingent Liabilities

Contingent liabilities are potential obligations from past events that exist only when the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events – beyond the Company's control – is confirmed. Current obligations can represent a contingent liability if it is not probable enough that an outflow of resources justifies the recognition of a provision. Moreover, it is not possible to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the sum of obligations.

The Management Board is unaware of any proceedings that may result in a significant obligation for the Group or lead to a material adverse effect on the Group's net assets, financial position or results of operations.

If certain milestones are achieved by MorphoSys (for example, submitting an investigational new drug (IND) application for specific target molecules), this may trigger milestone payments to licensors of up to an aggregate of US\$236.5 million (approximately € 208.8 million) related to regulatory events or the achievement of sales targets.

Monjuvi's product sales trigger percentage-based royalty payments.

Obligations may arise from enforcing the Company's patent rights versus third parties. It is also conceivable that competitors may challenge the patents of the MorphoSys Group or that MorphoSys may come to the conclusion that its patents or patent families have been infringed upon by competitors. This could prompt MorphoSys to take legal action against competitors or lead competitors to file counterclaims against MorphoSys. Currently, there are no specific indications such obligations have arisen.

By letter dated June 10, 2021, MorphoSys was notified by a licensor of the initiation of arbitration proceedings in the United States. The licensor alleges breach of contract and claims damages for the licensor's argued loss of revenues. Despite the patent expiry in 2018 confirmed by the licensor at the time, this is now disputed and a significantly longer patent term is assumed. Taking into account the associated legal and consulting costs, the potential amount in dispute in the proceedings is in the low double-digit Euro million range and also includes a currently unspecified share of royalty income. A decision by the arbitration court is expected in the fourth quarter 2022. Based on the current assessment of the facts, MorphoSys believes that the arguments presented are unfounded and that the arbitration will likely be decided in MorphoSys' favor. There was no arbitration decision and no other new developments in the third and fourth quarter of 2021.

The assessment of potentially uncertain tax positions included the tax treatment of the financial liability for future payments to Royalty Pharma. In contrast to IFRS accounting, a deferred income item was recognized for tax purposes which will be realized over the term of the underlying license agreements. The Company assumes that the tax authorities will share this assessment and that this will not be objected in a future tax audit. Due to the remaining uncertainty and the significance of the potential tax risk, we reported a contingent income tax liability in accordance with IFRIC 23.A5, IAS 12.88 and IAS 37. A different tax assessment would have a significant impact in the form of an additional tax payment. For tax purposes, deferred income for the obligations to Royalty Pharma amounted to € 988.9 million as of December 31, 2021 and the associated contingent tax liability upon non-acceptance of the deferral amounts to € 223.1 million, determined utilizing deferred tax assets on loss carry forwards of €40.6 million, capitalized as of December 31, 2021.

7.3 Additional Disclosures for Financial Instruments Fair Value Hierarchy and Measurement Methods

The fair value is the price that would be achieved for the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction between independent market participants or the price to be paid for the transfer of a liability (disposal or exit price).

Fair value is measured by using the same assumptions and taking into account the same characteristics of the asset or liability as would an independent market participant. Fair value is a market-based, not an entityspecific measurement. The fair value of non-financial assets is based on the best use of the asset by a market participant. For financial instruments, the use of bid prices for assets and ask prices for liabilities is permitted but not required if those prices best reflect the fair value in the respective circumstances. For simplification, mean rates are also permitted.

MorphoSys applies the following hierarchy in determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments:

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

The carrying amounts of certain financial assets and liabilities, such as financial assets at amortized cost, as well as accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value because of their shortterm maturities.

Hierarchy Level 1

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on the quoted market prices on the reporting date. A market is considered active if quoted prices are available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory body that is easily and regularly accessible, and prices reflect current and regularly occurring market transactions at arm's length conditions. For assets held by the Group, the appropriate quoted market price is the buyer's bid price.

Hierarchy Levels 2 and 3

The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active markets can be determined using valuation methods. In this case, fair value is estimated using the results of a valuation method that makes maximum use of market data and relies as little as possible on not observable market data. If all significant inputs required for measuring fair value by using valuation methods are observable, the instrument is allocated to Hierarchy Level 2. If significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is allocated to Hierarchy Level 3.

Hierarchy Level 2 contains foreign exchange forward agreements to hedge exchange rate fluctuations, term deposits and restricted cash as well as in 2020 the debt component of the convertible bond. Future cash flows for these foreign exchange forward agreements are determined based on forward exchange rate curves. The fair value of these instruments corresponds to their discounted cash flows. The fair value of the term deposits and restricted cash is determined by discounting the expected cash flows at market interest rates. The fair value of the debt component of the convertible bonds was determined by calculating the present value of all cash flows associated with the liability using the applicable reference interest rate with an adjustment to reflect MorphoSys' credit risk premium.

Hierarchy Level 3 financial assets comprise equity investments, financial assets and financial liabilities from collaborations, in 2021 the debt component of the convertible bond as well as financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma. The underlying valuations are generally carried out by employees in the finance department who report directly to the Chief Financial Officer. The valuation process and results are reviewed and discussed among the persons involved on a regular basis.

The financial assets from collaborations represent MorphoSys' current reimbursement claim against Incyte from the expected future losses associated with the co-commercialization activities of Monjuvi as secondline treatment for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ("DLBCL") in the U.S. (as Incyte has agreed to compensate MorphoSys for 50% of said losses). To determine the fair value of financial assets from collaborations, expected cash inflows are discounted using market interest rates of financial instruments with comparable currencies and maturities, taking into account Incyte's credit risk.

The reconciliation and sensitivity analysis for the Hierarchy Level 3 financial assets are presented in Note 5.18* and in the heading "equity investments" below. For further information on financial liabilities carried at amortized cost whose fair value is assigned to hierarchy Level 3, please refer to Notes 5.18* and 5.19*.

* cross-reference to page 143 and page 144

Reclassifications between the hierarchy levels are generally taken into account as of the reporting dates. In 2021, the fair value measurement of the debt component of the convertible bond was reclassified from hierarchy Level 2 to hierarchy Level 3, as the entity's own credit risk is not observable as a significant parameter for the fair value measurement. In 2020, no transfers were made between the fair value hierarchy levels.

The carrying amounts of current financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost approximate their fair values given their short maturities.

The table below shows the fair values of financial assets and liabilities and the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet.

Equity Investments

The investment in adivo GmbH, Martinsried, Germany, is accounted for as equity financial instruments at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in equity (other comprehensive income reserve). This was irrevocably determined when the investments were first recognized. This investment is a strategic financial investment, and the Group considers this classification to be more meaningful.

As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the investment in adivo GmbH was measured at € 0 (December 31, 2020: € 0).

Net Result according to Measurement Categories

The following net gains or losses resulted from financial instruments in the financial year.

Total	(83,761)	(3,031)	2,362

The net gains on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) resulted from valuation effects from changes in the fair value of financial assets from collaborations, money market funds and derivatives used to hedge exchange rate fluctuations. Net losses on financial assets at amortized cost (AC) resulted from the application of the effective interest method for the term deposits, exchange rate fluctuations and risk provisions. The category financial liabilities at amortized cost (FLAC) includes the gains and losses from fair value changes due to changes in planning estimates and the effective interest rate from the financial liabilities from collaborations as well as from the application of the effective interest rate method for the financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma and the convertible bonds.

The gross interest income and expenses from financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost are shown in the following table. The amounts for 2020 and 2019 have been adjusted compared with the 2020 financial reporting.

7.4 Financial Risk Management

Due to its operating activities with regard to assets, liabilities and planned transactions, the Group is exposed in particular to risks from the default of a contractual party (credit risk), from the non-fulfilment of liabilities (liquidity risk) and from market risks, in particular from changes in exchange rates and interest rates. The aim of the risk management is to limit these risks through ongoing operational and financeoriented activities.

7.4.1 Credit Risk

Financial instruments in which the Group may have a credit risk are mainly cash and cash equivalents, other financial assets, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Group's cash, cash equivalents and other financial assets are mainly denominated in euros and US dollars. Other financial assets are high quality assets. Cash, cash equivalents and other financial assets are generally held at numerous reputable financial institutions in Europe and the United States. With respect to its positions, the Group continuously monitors the financial institutions that are its counterparties to the financial instruments, as well as their creditworthiness, and does not anticipate any risk of non-performance.

The changes in risk provisions (see Note 2.7.1*) recognized in the statement of profit or loss for the financial years 2021, 2020 and 2019 under the item impairment losses on financial assets were determined based on the rationale that negative values represent additions and positive values represent reversals of risk provisions. There were no impairments in the 2021 financial year. The increase in this allowance compared to January 1, 2021 was primarily the result of shorter maturities of financial assets at amortized cost for which impairment losses are determined. In the general impairment model, the risk provision is recognized for financial assets at amortized cost – cash and cash equivalents, parts of other financial assets (term deposits) – and in the simplified impairment model for accounts receivable.

The gross carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets by credit risk rating class are as follows.

Financial Assets as of December 31, 2021	Internal Credit Rating	Basis for Recognition of Expected Credit Loss Provision	Gross Carrying Amount (in 000' €)
Cash and Cash Equivalents	low	Expected Twelve-Month Loss	123,248

Accounts Receivable	low	Lifetime Expected Credit Losses	76,270

(in 000' €)

The Group is also exposed to credit risk from debt instruments that are measured at fair value through profit or loss. This includes the items "Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss" and "Financial Assets from Collaborations". As of December 31, 2021, the maximum credit risk corresponded to the carrying amounts of these items amounting to € 25.6 million (December 31, 2020: € 330.8 million).

One of the Group's policies requires that all customers who wish to transact business on credit undergo a credit assessment based on external ratings. Nevertheless, the Group's revenue and accounts receivable are still subject to credit risk from customer concentration. The Group's single most significant customer accounted for € 38.5 million of accounts receivables as of December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: € 50.1 million), or 51% of the Group's total accounts receivable at the end of 2021. The Group's top three customers individually accounted for 36%, 14% and 9% of the total revenue in 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, 60% of the Group's accounts receivable balance related to a single customer; of the total revenue in 2020, three customers individually accounted for 78%, 14% and 1%.

On December 31, 2019, one customer had accounted for 53% of the Group's accounts receivable, and the top three customers in 2019 individually accounted for 45%, 31% and 13% of the Group's revenue.

The maximum credit risk (equal to the carrying amount) for rent deposits and other deposits on the reporting date amounted to € 4.1 million (December 31, 2020: € 1.4 million).

7.4.2 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises primarily from accounts payable, lease liabilities (refer to Note 5.9*), bonds, financial liabilities from collaborations and financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma. Liquidity risk is managed on the basis of balance sheet and profit and loss figures. This is done by means of liquidity planning for the current year on a monthly basis, for the three subsequent years on an annual basis and a monthly target/actual comparison. The top priority is always to ensure sufficient liquidity so that all payment obligations can be met. * cross-reference to page 138

The following table shows the the maturities of the cash flows of accounts payable and bonds at the balance sheet date. For the financial liabilities from collaborations, the non-discounted, future planned half profit sharing payments from Incyte for the sales of Monjuvi in the USA are presented. The financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma include the undiscounted, planned net sales in the coming years. There is no cash inflow and outflow at MorphoSys as the agreed percentage royalties and milestones are paid directly by Janssen, GSK and Roche to Royalty Pharma. As of December 31, 2021, financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma include an amount of € 1.5 million, which will result in a cash outflow for MorphoSys in 2022. Refer to Note 5.9* for the contractual cash flows of lease liabilities.

Compared with the 2020 financial reporting, accounts payable also include licenses payable, which were presented separately in the previous year (refer to Note 5.13*). The prior year's presentation of the figures has been adjusted accordingly in order to provide comparable information for the previous years.

* cross-reference to page 141

There were no financial instruments pledged as collateral as of December 31, 2021.

7.4.3 Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates or equity prices, will affect the Group's results of operations or the value of the financial instruments held. The Group is exposed to both currency and interest rate risks.

Currency Risk

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. Both revenues and expenses of the Group are incurred in euros and US dollars. Throughout the year, the Group monitors the necessity to hedge foreign exchange rates to minimize currency risk and addresses this risk by using derivative financial instruments.

The use of derivatives is subject to a Group guideline approved by the Management Board, which represents a written guideline for dealing with derivatives. In accordance with the Group's hedging policy, only highly probable future cash flows and clearly determinable receivables that can be realized within a period of twelve months are hedged. MorphoSys enters into foreign exchange option and forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure arising from US dollar cash flows.

As of December 31, 2021, there was no unsettled foreign exchange forward agreement (December 31, 2020: no unsettled foreign exchange forward agreement; December 31, 2019: one unsettled foreign exchange forward agreements). The unrealized gross gains in prior years from foreign exchange forward agreements were recorded in the finance result in the respective years (2021: € 0; 2020: € 0; 2019: € 0.4 million).

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk based on the carrying amounts of the items is shown in the table below.

The financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma are dependent on future royalty income, which is determined on the basis of sales in US dollars. The transfer of assigned license revenues is settled in Euros. Refer to Note 5.19* for a sensitivity analysis on the impact of a change in the foreign exchange rate.

* cross-reference to page 144

Different foreign exchange rates and their impact on financial assets and liabilities were simulated in a sensitivity analysis to determine the effects on profit or loss. Positive amounts would increase a consolidated net profit or decrease a consolidated net loss. Negative amounts would decrease a consolidated net profit or increase a consolidated net loss. The amounts for 2020 and 2019 have been adjusted compared with the 2020 financial reporting.

Increase of the Euro by 10%	39.3	16.8	(8.7)
Decrease of the
Euro by 10%	(48.0)	(25.6)	10.4

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's risk exposure to changes in interest rates mainly relates to fixed-term deposits and corporate bonds. Changes in the general Level of interest rates may lead to an increase or decrease in the fair value of these securities. The Group's investment focus places the safety of an investment ahead of its return and the ability to plan future cash flows. Interest rate risks are limited because all securities can be liquidated within a maximum of two years and due to the mostly fixed interest rates during the term in order to ensure that planning is possible. In addition, changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of financial assets from collaborations.

Different interest rates and their effect on existing other financial assets with variable interest rates and on financial assets from collaborations were simulated in a sensitivity analysis in order to determine the effect on profit or loss. Positive amounts would increase a consolidated net profit or decrease a consolidated net loss. Negative amounts would decrease a consolidated net profit or increase a consolidated net loss.

The Group is currently not subject to significant interest rate risks from the account payables reported on the balance sheet.

7.4.4 Capital Management

The Management Board's policy for capital management is to preserve a strong and sustainable capital base in order to maintain the confidence of investors, business partners, and the capital market and to support future business development. As of December 31, 2021, the equity ratio was 9.6% (December 31, 2020: 37.4%; see also the following overview). The equity ratio decreased mainly due to the initial recognition of the financial liabilities from future payments to Royalty Pharma.

The "Transfer of Assigned License Revenues to Royalty Pharma" include transactions whereas Janssen directly transfers to Royalty Pharma the settlement amount without influence by MorphoSys on timing and/or amount. As MorphoSys has not received or paid cash for these assigned license revenues, the related amounts have neither been included in the operating nor in the financing cash flow, respectively.

The changes from the bonds recognized in equity in 2020 relate initially to the transfer of the conversion right to additional paid-in capital and conversions in subsequent periods.

7.6 Geographical Disclosures

A total of € 132.9 million (December 31, 2020: € 311.6 million) of the Group's non-current assets, excluding deferred tax assets, are located in Germany and € 1,103.8 million in the USA (December 31, 2020: € 8.3 million). Of the Group's investments, € 24.5 million (2020: € 47.6 million) were made in Germany and € 1.7 million (2020: € 1.6 million) in the USA. In accordance with internal definitions, investments solely include additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets not related to leases and business combinations.

7.7 Corporate Governance

The Group has submitted the Declaration of Conformity with the recommendations of the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code for the 2021 financial year under Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG). This declaration was published on the Group's website (https://www.morphosys.com/en/investors/ corporate-governance) on November 29, 2021 and made permanently available to the public.

7.8 Research and Development Agreements

The Group has entered some research and development agreements. The following information describes the agreements that have a material effect on the Group and the developments under the research and development agreements in the 2021 financial year.

7.8.1 Agreements Related to Proprietary Clinical Development

Partnerships currently exist with (in alphabetical order) Incyte and Xencor.

In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte announced that the companies had signed a collaboration and license agreement for the continued global development and commercialization of MorphoSys's proprietary anti-CD19 antibody tafasitamab. A detailed description of the agreement can be found in Note 5.18*.

* cross-reference to page 143

In June 2010, MorphoSys and the U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company Xencor signed an exclusive global licensing and cooperation agreement under which MorphoSys receives exclusive global licensing rights to tafasitamab, the antibody for the treatment of cancer and other indications. The companies jointly conducted a phase 1/2a trial in the U.S. in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. MorphoSys is solely responsible for the further clinical development after the successful completion of the phase 1 clinical trial and commercialization. Upon signing the license and cooperation agreement, Xencor received a payment of US\$13.0 million (approximately € 10.5 million) from MorphoSys. Xencor also received milestone payments from MorphoSys totaling US\$65.5 million (approximately € 53.8 million). These payments were then capitalized under in-process R&D programs. Xencor is entitled to development, regulatory and commercially related milestone payments. Furthermore, Xencor is also eligible to receive tiered royalty payments of tafasitamab in the mid single-digit to sub-teen double-digit percentage range based upon net sales of licensed antibody sold by us or our licensees. Our royalty obligations continue on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the later to occur of the expiration of the last valid claim in the licensed patent covering a licensed product in such country, or 11 years after the first sale of a licensed product following marketing authorization in such country.

In November 2020, MorphoSys, Incyte and Xencor announced a clinical collaboration agreement to study the combination of tafasitamab, plamotamab and lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), first-line DLBCL and relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL). MorphoSys and Incyte will provide tafasitamab for the studies. The studies are sponsored and funded by Xencor and are planned to be conducted in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

7.8.2 Agreements Related to Clinical Development Through Partners

Through some commercial partnerships, MorphoSys receives various types of payments that are spread over the duration of the agreements or recognized in full as revenue as predefined targets and milestones are reached. These payments include payments upon signature, annual license fees in exchange for access to MorphoSys's technologies and payments for funded research to be performed by MorphoSys on behalf of the partner. MorphoSys is also entitled to development-related milestone payments and royalties on product sales for specific antibody programs.

Prior to the 2021 financial year, active collaborations with a number of partners had already ended. However, drug development programs initiated in the active phase are designed so that they can be continued by the partner and, therefore, still result in performance-based payments for the achievement of the defined milestones.

Partnerships (incl. partnerships for which the active collaboration has ended before the beginning of 2021 but where drug development programs were still being pursued) include (in alphabetical order): advanceCOR, Bayer AG, Boehringer Ingelheim, Fibron Ltd. (transfer of the contract from ProChon Biotech Ltd.), GeneFrontier Corporation/Kaneka, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), I-Mab Biopharma, Janssen Research and Development LLC, LEO Pharma, Novartis, OncoMed Pharmaceuticals (fully acquired in April 2019 by Mereo BioPharma Group), Pfizer, Roche and Sosei Heptares.

In June 2013, MorphoSys announced it had entered into a global agreement with GSK for the development and commercialization of otilimab. Otilimab is MorphoSys's proprietary HuCAL antibody against the GM-CSF target molecule. Under the agreement, GSK assumes responsibility for the compound's entire development and commercialization. MorphoSys received an upfront payment of € 22.5 million under this agreement and, next to tiered double-digit royalties on net sales, is eligible to receive additional payments from GSK of up to € 423.0 million, depending on the achievement of certain developmental stages, as well as regulatory, commercial and revenue-related milestones. In July 2019, GSK initiated a phase 3 development program in rheumatoid arthritis called ContRAst. The treatment of the first patient in this program triggered a milestone payment of € 22.0 million to MorphoSys. In 2020, GSK also initiated a clinical trial (OSCAR) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of otilimab in patients with severe pulmonary COVID 19-associated disease. The dosing of the first patient in the expanded OSCAR study triggered milestone payments totaling € 16.0 million to MorphoSys. In October 2021, GSK provided an update that it had made the decision not to further explore otilimab as a potential treatment for severe pulmonary COVID-19 related disease in patients 70 years and older.

In November 2017, MorphoSys announced it had signed an exclusive regional licensing agreement with I-Mab to develop and commercialize felzartamab in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. Felzartamab is MorphoSys's proprietary antibody targeting CD38. Under the terms of the agreement, I-Mab has the exclusive right for the later development and commercialization of felzartamab in the agreed regions. In November 2017, MorphoSys received a payment of US\$20.0 million (approximately 16.8 million) and until 2021 milestone payments of US\$8.0 million (approximately € 7.1 million). MorphoSys is also entitled to receive additional success-based clinical and commercial milestone payments from I-Mab of up to roughly US\$90.5 million (approximately € 79.9 million). In addition, MorphoSys will be entitled to receive doubledigit, staggered royalties on the net sales of felzartamab in the agreed regions. I-Mab is investigating felzartamab in a phase 3 clinical study in Greater China in combination with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone in r/r multiple myeloma. I-Mab is also evaluating felzartamab as a potential third-line therapy in r/r multiple myeloma in a phase 2 trial. Both studies are considered pivotal in the agreed regions.

In November 2018, MorphoSys announced the signing of an exclusive strategic development collaboration and regional licensing agreement with I-Mab for MOR210/TJ210. MOR210/TJ210 is MorphoSys' proprietary, preclinical-stage antibody directed against C5aR which has potential to be developed as an immuno-oncology agent. I-Mab has exclusive rights to develop and market MOR210/TJ210 in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and South Korea, while MorphoSys retains the rights for the rest of the world. With the support of MorphoSys, I-Mab will undertake and fund all global development activities, including clinical trials in China and the United States, to clinical proof of concept in cancer medicine. In November 2018, MorphoSys received a payment of US\$3.5 million (approximately € 3.1 million) and until 2020 milestone payments of US\$1.0 million (approximately € 0.8 million). MorphoSys is further eligible to receive performance-related clinical and sales-based milestone payments of up to US\$ 99.0 million (approximately € 87.4 million). In addition, MorphoSys will receive tiered royalties in the mid-single-digit percentage range of net sales of MOR210/TJ210 in I-Mab's teritorries. In return for conducting a successful clinical proof of concept trial, I-Mab is entitled to low-single-digit royalties on net sales of MOR210/TJ210 outside the I-Mab territory, as well as staggered shares of proceeds from the further out-licensing of MOR210. In January 2021, MorphoSys and I-Mab announced the dosing of first patient in a U.S. phase 1 study. MorphoSys received a US\$1.5 million (approx. € 1.2 million) payment from I-Mab for achieving this milestone.

The Group's alliance with Novartis AG for the research and development of biopharmaceuticals came to an end in November 2017. The collaboration began in 2004 and led to the creation of several ongoing therapeutic antibody programs against a number of diseases. MorphoSys receives performance-based milestones contingent upon the successful clinical development and regulatory approval of several products. In addition to these payments, MorphoSys is also entitled to royalties on any future product sales.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To MorphoSys AG, Planegg

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OF THE GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

Audit Opinions

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of MorphoSys AG, Planegg, and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of changes in stockholder's equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021, and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In addition, we have audited the group management report of MorphoSys AG for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021. In accordance with the German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of those parts of the group management report listed in the "Other Information" section of our auditor's report.

In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit,

• the accompanying consolidated financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § [Article] 315e Abs. [paragraph] 1 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch: German Commercial Code] and, in compliance with these requirements, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, and financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and of its financial performance for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021, and
• the accompanying group management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Group's position. In all mate-

rial respects, this group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. Our audit opinion on the group management report does not cover the content of those parts of the group management report listed in the "Other Information" section of our auditor's report.

Pursuant to § 322 Abs. 3 Satz [sentence] 1 HGB, we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report.

Basis for the Audit Opinions

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation (No. 537/2014, referred to subsequently as "EU Audit Regulation") in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Group Management Report" section of our auditor's report. We are independent of the group entities in accordance with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10 (2) point (f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report.

Key Audit Matters in the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion thereon; we do not provide a separate audit opinion on these matters.

In our view, the matters of most significance in our audit were as follows:

• 1 Subsequent measurement of the financial asset and the financial liability arising from the Incyte collaboration and license agreement
• 2 Valuation of intangible asset pelabresib Constellation acquisition
• 3 Recoverability of goodwill of the group of CGUs Constellation and the intangible asset pelabresib
• 4 Measurement of the financial liabilities from the agreements with Royalty Pharma on the sale of future license income and revenues

Our presentation of these key audit matters has been structured in each case as follows:

1 Matter and issue

• 2 Audit approach and findings
• 3 Reference to further information

Hereinafter we present the key audit matters:

1 Subsequent measurement of the financial asset and the financial liability arising from the Incyte collaboration and license agreement

1 Under the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte Corporation, USA, (hereinafter "Incyte"), MorphoSys recognized a current financial asset from collaboration of € 16.7 million and a current and non-current financial liability from collaboration totaling € 514.4 million. The financial asset represents MorphoSys's current reimbursement claim against Incyte from the expected future losses associated with the US commercialization activities. The current and non-current financial liability represents Incyte's prepaid entitlement to future profit sharing on sales of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) in the US. The financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and the financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The basis for the valuation is the corporate planning and its shared profits and losses thereof in connection with the commercialization activities of MorphoSys and Incyte in the US for the years ahead. The executive director's significant assumptions include the forecasted number of patients, the expectations on selling price and costs associated with the sale of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) as well as the probability of cash outflows and inflows.

The outcome of the subsequent measurement of the financial asset and financial liability is dependent to a large extent on the assumptions made by the executive directors with respect to the future risk adjusted cash outflows and inflows in connection with the sale of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix), as well as other assumptions. Therefore, the subsequent measurement is subject to significant judgement by the executive directors' and considerable uncertainty. Against this background and due to the complexity of the measurement, this matter was of particular significance in the context of our audit.

2 As part of our audit, we tested the effectiveness of controls relating to the subsequent measurement of the financial asset and the financial liability from the Incyte collaboration and license agreement. Our procedures also included, among others, testing the executive director's process for determining the fair value of the financial asset and the subsequent measurement of the financial liability, including evaluating the reasonableness of the executive directors' significant assumptions of the risk adjusted cash outflows and inflows, forecasted number of patients, expectations on selling price and costs associated with the sale of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) and the probability of cash outflows and inflows, and testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model. Professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were involved to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions including the assessment of the risk adjusted forecasted cash outflows and inflows.

Overall, the valuation parameters and assumptions used by the executive directors are in line with our expectations and also lie within a range that we consider reasonable.

3 The Company's disclosures on the subsequent valuation of the financial asset and financial liability from the Incyte collaboration and license agreement are contained in sections 2.7.1 and 5.18 of the notes.

2 Valuation of intangible asset pelabresib - Constellation acquisition

1 On 15 July 2021, the company acquired the shares of Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc., USA, and its 100% subsidiary Constellation Securities Corporation, USA, (hereinafter jointly "Constellation") via a cash tender offer. A total purchase price of USD 1,635.2 million (€ 1,384.7 million) was paid in cash for the acquisition of the shares. As part of the acquisition of Constellation, not yet available for use research and development programs in development (pelabresib and CPI-0209) in the amount of € 717.4 million (pelabresib) and € 2.0 million (CPI-0209) and goodwill of € 541.6 million were identified and capitalized in 2021. Management applied significant judgment in estimating the fair value of the intangible asset pelabresib acquired, which involved the use of several assumptions and estimates relating to the forecasted number of patients, the expectations on selling price, the probability of successful product development well as the discount rate.

The result of the assessment of the valuation of the intangible asset pelabresib not available for use is dependent to a large extent on the assessment of forecasted number of patients, expectations on selling price, probability of successful product development as well as the discount rate made by the executive directors and is therefore subject to considerable uncertainty. Against this background, and due to the considerable scope of discretion of the executive directors, this matter was of particular significance in the context of our audit.

2 As part of our audit, we tested the effectiveness of the controls over the determination of the fair values of the acquired intangible asset not yet available for use pelabresib. Our audit procedures also included, among others, assessing the executive directors' process for determining the fair values, evaluating the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the underlying data used in the models and assessing the reasonableness of the key assumptions used by the executive directors relating to the forecasted number of patients, the expectations on selling price, the probability of successful product development and the discount rate for the product candidate. Professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were involved to assist in assessing the appropriateness of the assumptions.

Overall, the valuation parameters and assumptions used by the executive directors are in line with our expectations and also lie within a range that we consider reasonable.

3 The Company's disclosures on the valuation of the intangible assets are included in sections 2.5, 3, 5.10 and 5.11 of the notes.

3 Recoverability of goodwill of the group of CGUs Constellation and the intangible asset pelabresib

1 In the Company's consolidated financial statements, goodwill of € 541.6 million was identified and recognized for the group of cash-generating units (CGUs) Constellation during the financial year 2021, as well as an intangible asset not yet available for use for the pelabresib product candidate of € 717.4 million as part of the acquisition of Constellation.The goodwill was allocated to the group of CGUs Constellation, as goodwill is monitored at this level. Goodwill of the group of CGUs and the intangible asset not available for use were subject to an annual impairment test. The recoverable amount of the group of CGUs Constellation and the intanbigle asset was determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations. The cash flow projections included expected payments from the commercialization of pelabresib and other compounds, the cash outflows for anticipated research and development, and the costs for pelabresib's and the other compounds' commercialization. The calculation showed that the value-in-use was lower than the carrying amount of the group of CGUs Constellation and an impairment of € 230.7 million was recognized as a result. After impairment, the carrying amount of goodwill amounts to € 334.0 million as of December 31, 2021. For pelabresib (carrying amount of € 731.8 million as of 31 December 2021) this analysis did not reveal any need for impairment.

The result of the impairment test of the goodwill of the group of CGUs Constellation and the intangible asset pelabresib that is not yet available for use depends to a large extent on the assumptions made by the executive directors with respect to the forecasted number of patients, the expectation on selling price, the probability of successful product development and the discount rate made by management and is therefore subject to considerable uncertainty. Against this background, and due to the considerable scope of discretion of the executive directors in estimating the recoverable amounts for the group of CGUs Constellation as well as the intangible asset pelabresib that is not available for use, this matter was of particular significance in the context of our audit.

2 As part of our audit, we tested the effectiveness of controls over the assessment of impairment of the goodwill of the group of CGUs Constellation and the pelabresib intangible asset not available for use. Our procedures also included, among others, assessing the executive directors' process for determining the recoverable amounts, evaluating the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the underlying data used in the models and assessing the reasonableness of the key assumptions used by the exective directors, relating to the forecasted number of patients, the expectation on selling price, the probability of successful product development and the discount rate. Professionals with specilized skills and knowledge were involved to assist in assessing the appropriateness of the assumptions.

Overall, the valuation parameters and assumptions used by the executive directors are in line with our expectations and also lie within a range that we consider reasonable.

• 3 The Company's disclosures on impairment testing of goodwill and the intangible asset pelabresib are included in sections 2.7.9, 5.10 and 5.11 of the notes.
• 4 Measurement of the financial liabilities from the agreements with Royalty Pharma on the sale of future license income and revenues
• 1 Under the terms of the agreements with Royalty Pharma plc, USA, and Royalty Pharma USA Inc., USA, (hereinafter jointly "Royalty Pharma") and Constellation, the Company has recognized financial liabilities of € 1,193.3 million for future payments to Royalty Pharma for the sale of future royalties, milestones and revenues as at the balance sheet date. The financial liabilities represents Royalty Pharma's right to receive certain future license income in the form of royalties and milestones of Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab and future revenues of the product candidates pelabresib and CPI-0209. The planning assumptions are influenced by estimates and mainly relate to the probability of successful product development, the expected license income and revenues from Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab, pelabresib and CPI-0209 and the initial effective discount rate. Revenues are influenced by variable factors such as forecasted number of patients and the expectations on

selling price. The financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The result of the measurement of the financial liabilities is highly dependent on the assumptions made by the executive directors regarding future license income in the form of royalties and milestones of Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab and future revenues of the product candidates pelabresib and CPI-0209 as well as other assumptions. The measurement is therefore subject to significant judgement by the executive directors and is subject to considerable uncertainty. Against this background and due to the complexity of the valuation, this matter was of particular significance in the context of our audit.

2 As part of our audit, we tested the effectiveness of controls relating to the measurement of the financial liabilities arising from the agreements with Royalty Pharma. Audit procedures also included assessing the management process for determining the measurement of the financial liabilities, including assessing the reasonableness of the key assumptions made by the executive directors regarding the probability of successful product development, the expected license income and revenues from Tremfya, otilimab, gantenerumab, pelabrisib and CPI-0209, the initial effective discount rate as well as forecasted number of patients and the expectations on selling price, and evaluating the completeness, accuracy and relevance of the data underlying the model. In assessing the appropriateness of the assumptions we involved specialists with particular skills and knowledge.

Overall, the measurement parameters and assumptions used by the executive directors are in line with our expectations and also lie within a range that we consider reasonable.

3 The company's disclosures on the measurement of the financial liabilities from the agreements with Royalty Pharma are included in sections 2.7.1 and 5.19 of the notes.

Other Information

The executive directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the following non-audited parts of the group management report:

• the statement on corporate governance pursuant to § 289f HGB and § 315d HGB included in section "Statement on Corporate Governance, Group Statement on Corporate Governance and Report on Corporate Governance" of the group management report
• the subsection "Report on Corporate Governance" in section "Statement on Corporate Governance, Group Statement on Corporate Governance and Report on Corporate Governance" of the group management report

The other information comprises further

• the separate non-financial group report pursuant to § 315b Abs. 3 HGB
• all remaining parts of the annual report excluding crossreferences to external information – with the exception of the audited consolidated financial statements, the audited group management report and our auditor's report

Our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report do not cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information mentioned above and, in so doing, to consider whether the other information

• is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, with the group management report disclosures audited in terms of content or with our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
• otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of the Executive Directors and the Supervisory Board for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Group Management Report

The executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315e Abs. 1 HGB and that the consolidated financial statements, in compliance with these requirements, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and financial performance of the Group. In addition, the executive directors are responsible for such internal control as they have determined necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the executive directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Furthermore, the executive directors are responsible for the preparation of the group management report that, as a whole, provides an appropriate view of the Group's position and is, in all material respects, consistent with the consolidated financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, the executive directors are responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered Independent Auditor's Report Additional Information 177

necessary to enable the preparation of a group management report that is in accordance with the applicable German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the group management report.

The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and of the Group Management Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the group management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Group's position and, in all material respects, is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor's report that includes our audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with § 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and this group management report.

We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and of the group management report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit of the consolidated financial statements and of arrangements and measures (systems) relevant to the audit of the group management report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an audit opinion on the effectiveness of these systems.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used by the executive directors and the reasonableness of estimates made by the executive directors and related disclosures.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the executive directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in the auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and in the group management report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our respective audit opinions. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to be able to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements present the underlying transactions and events in a manner that the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Group in compliance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315e Abs. 1 HGB.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinions.
• Evaluate the consistency of the group management report with the consolidated financial statements, its conformity with German law, and the view of the Group's position it provides.
• Perform audit procedures on the prospective information presented by the executive directors in the group management report. On the basis of sufficient appropriate audit evidence we evaluate, in particular, the significant assumptions used by the executive directors as a basis for the prospective information, and evaluate the proper derivation of the prospective information from these assumptions. We do not express a separate audit opinion on the prospective information and on the assumptions used as a basis. There is a substantial unavoidable risk that future events will differ materially from the prospective information.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ESEF documents are free from material non-compliance with the requirements of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB, whether due to fraud or error. We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the assurance work. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material non-compliance with the requirements of § 328 Abs. 1 HGB, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform assurance procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain assurance evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our assurance opinion.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the assurance work on the ESEF documents in order to design assurance procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an assurance opinion on the effectiveness of these controls.
• Evaluate the technical validity of the ESEF documents, i.e., whether the electronic file containing the ESEF documents meets the requirements of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 in the version in force at the date of the consolidated financial statements on the technical specification for this electronic file.
• Evaluate whether the ESEF documents provide an XHTML rendering with content equivalent to the audited consolidated financial statements and to the audited group management report.

• Evaluate whether the tagging of the ESEF documents with Inline XBRL technology (iXBRL) in accordance with the requirements of Articles 4 and 6 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815, in the version in force at the date of the consolidated financial statements, enables an appropriate and complete machine-readable XBRL copy of the XHTML rendering.

Further Information pursuant to Article 10 of the EU Audit Regulation

We were elected as group auditor by the annual general meeting on 19 May 2021. We were engaged by the supervisory board on 2 July 2021. We have been the group auditor of the MorphoSys AG, Planegg, without interruption since the financial year 2011.

We declare that the audit opinions expressed in this auditor's report are consistent with the additional report to the audit committee pursuant to Article 11 of the EU Audit Regulation (longform audit report).

REFERENCE TO AN OTHER MATTER– USE OF THE AUDITOR'S REPORT

Our auditor's report must always be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and the audited group management report as well as the assured ESEF documents. The consolidated financial statements and the group management report converted to the ESEF format – including the versions to be published in the Federal Gazette – are merely electronic renderings of the audited consolidated financial statements and the audited group management report and do not take their place. In particular, the "Report on the Assurance on the Electronic Rendering of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Group Management Report Prepared for Publication Purposes in Accordance with § 317 Abs. 3a HGB" and our assurance opinion contained therein are to be used solely together with the assured ESEF documents made available in electronic form.
