The holding of treasury shares has been acquired from the company's shareholders, including as part of the implementation of share buyback programmes. The reduction amount is unknown at present.

The warrants shall give a right to subscribe for shares in the Company at a price to be fixed by the Supervisory Board; such price may be lower than the market price. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board shall fix the terms of the warrants issued in accordance with the authorisation." The subsequent article numbers will be renumbered accordingly as a result of the new provisions. In Article 4.5 (previously 4.4), the first line: "New shares issued pursuant to Articles 4.1 - 4.3..." is changed to read "New shares issued pursuant to Articles 4.1 - 4.4...". For the period until the next Annual General Meeting, the Supervisory Board is authorised to arrange for an acquisition by the company of treasury shares representing a nominal value up to 10% of the share capital. The purchase price of the shares in question may not deviate by more than 10% from the price quoted on the OMX in Copenhagen on the date of acquisition. The purchase price quoted by the OMX shall be understood as the closing price - all trades at 5:00 p.m. To define the general guidelines for incentive pay for the members of Executive Management and adopt a new provision to be inserted in Article 5.6 of the Articles of Association. With effect from 1 July 2007, section 69 b of the Danish Public Companies Act provides that the supervisory board of a listed company must have defined general guidelines (see appendix) for incentive pay for the members of the supervisory board and executive board before the company enters into any specific agreements in this respect. The guidelines must be considered and adopted by the company's shareholders. The members of the Supervisory Board of H. Lundbeck A/S do not receive incentive pay. The Supervisory Board has proposed a set of guidelines for incentive pay for Executive Management. If the shareholders adopt the guidelines, the following provision will be included in the company's Articles of Association:"Guidelines have been adopted for incentive pay for the members of Executive Management. See section 69 b (2) of the Danish Public Companies Act. The guidelines are available on the corporate website." The chairman of the general meeting is authorised to make such changes in and supplements to the matters adopted at the general meeting and the notification to the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency as may be requested by the Commerce and Companies Agency in connection with its registration of the amendments made. The adoption of items 6.1 and 6.2 of the agenda requires a majority in favour of the proposed resolution of at least two thirds of both the votes cast and of the voting share capital represented at the general meeting, cf. Article 9.2 of the Articles of Association. The other proposals may be resolved by a simple majority of votes. The changed article on item 6.4 of the agenda automatically follows from the approval of the guidelines and does not require separate adoption, cf. the second sentence of section 69b (2) of the Danish Public Companies Act. The company's share capital amounts to DKK 1,036,398,155 nominal value, divided into shares of DKK 5 nominal value each. Each nominal share amount of DKK 5 carries one vote as provided in Article 10.5 of the Articles of Association. Also this year, H. Lundbeck A/S offers simultaneous interpretation from Danish into English. The area where interpreting is available will be signposted.
