The Board of Directors proposes that the annual report be approved.

Re agenda item 3:

The Board of Directors proposes to distribute a dividend of 31% of the net profit for the accounting year 2019, corresponding to DKK 4.10 per share, or a total dividend of DKK 816 million.

Re agenda item 4:

The Board of Directors of H. Lundbeck A/S should consist of persons who together possess the financial, pharmaceutical and international qualifications required for safeguarding the Company's and, thus, the shareholders' interests in the best manner possible having regard to the Company's other stakeholders. The Board of Directors' most important duties are to formulate H. Lundbeck A/S' overall strategy, set specific objectives for the Company's Executive Management and ensure that the members of the Executive Management have the right qualifications. 

For a more detailed description of the qualifications required for members of the Board of Directors, please see the Company's website: www.lundbeck.com (http://www.lundbeck.com/global) à About Us à Corporate Governance.

Members of the Board of Directors elected by the annual general meeting are elected or re-elected every year, and therefore the term of office of the current members expires in connection with this annual general meeting. The Board of Directors proposes that the following members elected by the annual general meeting should be re-elected: Lars Søren Rasmussen, Lene Skole-Sørensen, Lars Erik Holmqvist, Jeffrey Berkowitz, Henrik Andersen and Jeremy Max Levin. The Board of Directors expects to elect Lars Søren Rasmussen as Chairman and elect Lene Skole-Sørensen as Deputy Chairman.  

 

The Board of Directors assesses that the candidates together possess the professional and international experience required for maintaining the Company's position as a leading global pharmaceutical company focusing on research and development in the field of brain disorders. The Board of Directors also considers the size of the Board appropriate considering the Company's needs and the aim of ensuring constructive debate and effective decision-making. Regard has been given to diversity in the selection of board candidates.

The Recommendations on Corporate Governance recommend that at least half of a company's board members elected by the annual general meeting should be independent of the Company. Lars Søren Rasmussen, Jeremy Max Levin, Jeffrey Berkowitz and Henrik Andersen meet the criteria for independence. Lene Skole-Sørensen and Lars Erik Holmqvist are considered to be non-independent board members due to their responsibilities in the Lundbeck Foundation. If the proposed candidates are elected to the Board of Directors, the Board will meet the recommendation for independence as defined by the Recommendations on Corporate Governance.

Re agenda item 6:

During 2019, the Company completed a tender process headed by the Audit Committee regarding audit services in accordance with applicable law. Based on a thorough evaluation of proposals received during the tender process as well as meetings with the participating audit firms, two candidates were selected and the Audit Committee decided to recommend that PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartner-selskab (PwC) is elected as new auditor. The Audit Committee found that PwC best addresses and fulfils the selection criteria defined for the tender process and further possess the qualifications and competencies required to fulfil the role as the Company's auditor.

In accordance with the recommendation submitted to the Board of Directors by the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab, CVR no.: 33 77 12 31 should be elected as new auditor for the Company. The Audit Committee is free from influence by a third party and is not subject to a contract with a third party restricting the choice of the annual general meeting to certain categories or lists of statutory auditors or audit firms, as regards the appointment of a particular statutory auditor or audit firm to carry out the statutory audit of the Company.

 

Re agenda item 7:

1.
1. It is proposed to authorise the Board of Directors until the next annual general meeting to allow the Company to acquire treasury shares of a total nominal value of up to 10% of the share capital. The purchase price for the relevant shares may not deviate by more than 10% from the price quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S at the time of the acquisition.

1.
2. The Board of Directors proposes to adopt the enclosed Remuneration Policy for the Board of Directors and the Executive Management of H. Lundbeck A/S. In 2016, the annual general meeting adopted the current Remuneration Guidelines for the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. The new Remuneration Policy has been prepared in accordance with the newly implemented sections 139 and 139a of the Danish Companies Act. As a consequence of the adoption of the Remuneration Policy, the Company's current Remuneration Guidelines will automatically be repealed and the reference to the guidelines for incentive pay set out in Article 5.6 of the Company's Articles of Association will automatically be deleted in accordance with section 139(6) of the Danish Companies Act.

The complete wording of the Remuneration Policy for the Board of Directors and the Executive Management of H. Lundbeck A/S will be made available on the Company's website on 26 February 2020.

1.
3. As the current authorisations set out in Articles 4.1 and 4.2 of the Articles of Association will expire on 25 March 2020, the Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be granted new authorisations to increase the share capital of the Company with up to nominally DKK 100,000,000 with or without pre-emption rights for the shareholders in the period until 23 March 2025 and thereby to amend Articles 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the Articles of Association as follows:

"4.1 The Board of Directors is authorised, for the period until 23 March 2025, to increase, in one or more rounds, the Company's share capital by a nominal amount of up to DKK 100,000,000. The new shares shall be issued at market price and the capital increase shall be implemented without pre-emption rights for the Company's existing shareholders. The Board of Directors may decide to implement the increase of the share capital wholly or partly by way of non-cash contribution, including as consideration for the Company's acquisition of an existing business or other assets.

4.2 The Board of Directors is authorised, for the period until 23 March 2025, to increase, in one or more rounds, the Company's share capital by a nominal amount of up to DKK 100,000,000. The capital increase shall be implemented with pre-emption rights for the Company's existing shareholders. The Board of Directors shall determine the subscription price. The Board of Directors may decide to implement the increase of the share capital wholly or partly by way of non-cash contribution, including as consideration for the Company's acquisition of an existing business or other assets.

4.3 The capital increase which the Board of Directors may decide upon pursuant to articles 4.1 and 4.2 cannot exceed a total aggregate nominal amount of DKK 100,000,000."

Further, the Board of Directors note that Article 4.6 of the Articles of Association and the corresponding Appendix 8 will be deleted from the Articles of Association due to expiry of warrant programs. Following such deletion, the current Article 4.7 will become Article 4.6.

A copy of the amended Articles of Association will be made available on the Company's website on 26 February 2020.

1.
4. The Board of Directors proposes to amend the standard agenda for the annual general meeting to include an advisory vote on approval of the Remuneration Report and thereby to amend Article 8.1 of the Articles of Association.

As a consequence of the new section 139b an advisory vote on approval of the Remuneration Report must be held annually. Therefore, the Board of Directors propose to include this vote as a standard item in the  agenda referenced in Article 8.1 of the Articles of Association. The proposal entails amending Article 8.1 of the Articles of Association as follows:

"8.1 The agenda of the annual general meeting shall include:

a. Report of the Board of Directors on the Company's activities during the past year.

b. Presentation and adoption of the annual report.

c. Resolution on the appropriation of profit or loss as recorded in the adopted annual report.

d. Presentation of and advisory vote on the Remuneration Report.

e. Election of members to the Board of Directors.

f. Approval of remuneration for the Board of Directors for the current financial year.

g. Election of one or two state-authorised public accountants.

h. Any proposals by shareholders or the Board of Directors.

i. Any other business."

A copy of the amended Articles of Association will be made available on the Company's website on 26 February 2020.

1.
5. The Board of Directors proposes to authorise the Chairman of the annual general meeting to make such amendments and additions to the resolutions passed by the annual general meeting and the application for registration with the Danish Business Authority that may be required by the Danish Business Authority in connection with the registration of the adopted amendments.

The adoption of items 7.3 and 7.4 of the agenda requires that the proposals be adopted by at least 2/3 of the votes cast and of by at least 2/3 of the share capital represented at the annual general meeting. All other proposals on the agenda may be adopted by a simple majority of votes.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. This may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations and it may cause any or all of our forward-looking statements here or in other publications to be wrong. Factors that may affect future results include interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, delay or failure of development projects, production problems, unexpected contract breaches or terminations, government-mandated or market-driven price decreases for Lundbeck's products, introduction of competing products, Lundbeck's ability to successfully market both new and existing products, exposure to product liability and other lawsuits, changes in reimbursement rules and governmental laws and related interpretation thereof, and unexpected growth in costs and expenses.

Certain assumptions made by Lundbeck are required by Danish Securities Law for full disclosure of material corporate information. Some assumptions, including assumptions relating to sales associated with product that is prescribed for unapproved uses, are made considering past performances of other similar drugs for similar disease states or past performance of the same drug in other regions where the product is currently marketed. It is important to note that although physicians may, as part of their freedom to practice medicine in the US, prescribe approved drugs for any use they deem appropriate, including unapproved uses, at Lundbeck, promotion of unapproved uses is strictly prohibited.
