Company Registration No. 32266355

Copenhagen, Denmark, February 18, 2022 – Orphazyme A/S (ORPHA.CO (DK); ORPH (US)) (the “Company”), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, announces that the Company has issued new shares in the period from Friday, February 11, 2022 to Thursday, February 17, 2022 as a result of the utilization of the Company’s U.S. At-the-Market Offering Program with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”). On February 11, 2022, a total of 360,000 ordinary shares of nominally DKK 1 each, represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), have been issued by the Company and sold in the market by Cowen as the sales agent at market price as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the authorization in article 3.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association.

After registration of the share capital increase relating to the share issuance, the Company’s share capital amounts to a nominal value of DKK 35,312,241 divided into 35,312,241 ordinary shares of DKK 1 per share. Each share carries one vote at the Company’s general meetings and accordingly the total number of voting rights in the Company is 35,312,241. The new ordinary shares rank pari passu with the Company’s existing ordinary shares and carry the same dividend and other rights. The ADSs do not carry the same rights as the Company’s ordinary shares and are not entitled to receive a dividend or vote as ordinary shares, except to the extent provided for through the depositary as record holder of the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs as set forth in the deposit agreement governing the ADSs.

The new ordinary shares are expected to be admitted to trading and official listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen under the permanent ISIN code DK0060910917 by the end of February 2022.

The Company continues to explore ways to strengthen its balance sheet.
