Acting on its authorization to acquire up to 10% of its shares,
Lundbeck's Supervisory Board has resolved to initiate a share buyback
program. Under the program Lundbeck will buy own shares for an amount
of up to DKK 6 billion, cf. stock exchange announcement number 166
dated 17 August 2005. The buyback program is expected to be completed
by the end of 2008.
During any one single trading day a maximum of 25% of the average
daily trading volume of Lundbeck shares on OMX Nordic Exchange
Copenhagen, calculated over 20 days prior to each trading date, will
be bought back, as the share buyback program is implemented in
accordance with the provisions of the European Commission's
regulation no. 2273/2003 of December 22, 2003.
At least once every seven trading days, Lundbeck will issue an
announcement in respect of the transactions made under the program.
