Furthermore, the restricted stock units are subject to vesting conditions set out in the restricted stock unit program adopted by the Board of Directors and in accordance with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the shareholders at the annual general meeting. Information concerning Genmab’s restricted stock unit program can be found on under Investors > Stock information > Restricted stock units.

The exercise price for each warrant is DKK 1,362.50. Each warrant is awarded cost-free and entitles the owner to subscribe one share of nominally DKK 1 subject to payment of the exercise price. By application of the Black-Scholes formula, the fair value of each warrant can be calculated as DKK 393.72.

The warrants vest three years after the grant date, and all warrants expire at the seventh anniversary of the grant date.
