The regional office for Southern Europe, which is based in Rome in Italy, comprises: Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey and Portugal. The regional office for Canada and Latin America, which is based in Rio de Janeiro in Brasil, comprises: Canada, Mexico, Central America, Venezuela, Uruguay, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.

Regional coordination of the countries sales and marketing activities enables Lundbeck to make more effective use than previously of the synergies both cultural and economic arising from coordination across the region concerned. The company believes that the new structure is an important foundation for a successful launch of Cipralex® and thus for the future growth of the company. Corporate Governance In continuation of the publication of the Nørby Committees report on Corporate Governance in Denmark, which made a number of recommendations concerning Corporate Governance, the Copenhagen Stock Exchange published a notice recommending listed companies to take a position on the recommendations of the Nørby Committee. The Supervisory Board has followed the publication and the subsequent debate on the recommendations of the Nørby Committee with interest. For several years Corporate Governance has been the subject of international discussion, and the Danish committees work and recommendations will be included in the Supervisory Boards regular discussions of Corporate Governance principles. Expectations for 2002 2002 will be a challenging year for Lundbeck. During it, the Group expects competition from generic citalopram in many markets. 2002 will also be the year in which Lundbeck will launch two new products Cipralex® for treatment of depression and panic disorder and Ebixa® (memantine) for treatment of moderately severe to severe Alzheimers disease. The management expects generic citalopram to gain market shares, particularly in the European markets. However, the European countries differ considerably from each other with respect to the size of the market share that generic citalopram is expected to gain. The country in Europe where generic citalopram must be expected to have the biggest impact is the UK. There, Lundbeck expects that a substantial proportion of citalopram sales may be taken over by generic manufacturers. In the Nordic and other North European markets, Lundbeck expects generic manufacturers to gain some share of the market. In the South European markets Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Portugal and, to some extent, France Lundbeck does not expect to encounter any significant generic competition. Consequently, it will be in the South European markets and the markets in South America and Canada that the biggest growth in relation to 2001 will occur. Citalopram is protected via a number of process patents against generic competition beyond the date of expiry of the compound patent. It is the policy of the company to defend its rights energetically, wherever they may be violated. Lundbeck expects to introduce its new product Cipralex® for treatment of depression and panic disorder in a number of European markets in the first half of 2002. At the end of January 2002, Lundbecks strategic partner in the USA, Forest Laboratories, received a so-called approvable letter preliminary approval from the American health authorities (FDA). Lundbeck expects final American approval of LexaproTM at the end of the first quarter of 2002. The launch on the american market is expected medio 2002. Cipralex® has shown significant clinical effect earlier than Cipramil®. Besides that, Cipralex® has a side-effect and interaction profile that is at least as attractive as that of Cipramil®. The company believes that Cipralex® will gain a substantial share of the market. The management expects that a considerable proportion of the patients now being treated with Cipramil® to be treated with Cipralex® in the future. 7
