H. Lundbeck - AGM 24 March 2020

In general, H. Lundbeck ("Lundbeck") is in compliance with the Danish regulations relating to organisation and procedures of the Annual General Meeting.

Under ITEMS 4.1 - 4.6 the (re-)election of the board of directors is proposed.

In view of concerns over aggregate time commitments as well as other concerns, ECGS normally would have recommended opposition to the re-election of: Messrs. Lars Søren Rasmussen (ITEM 4.1), Lars Erik Holmqvist (ITEM 4.3), Jeremy Max Levin (ITEM 4.4) and Mr. Jeffrey Berkowitz (ITEM 4.5). However, considering that the proxy card does not permit this, it recommends abstention instead.

Under ITEM 7.2 approval is sought for the Company's remuneration policy. ECGS notes that the proposed policy is NOT in accordance with its guidelines. Accordingly, ECGS recommends to vote OPPOSE.
