Notes 19. Contractual obligations Rental and leasing obligations Lundbeck has commitments amounting to DKK 248.3 million (DKK 218.1 million in 1998) in the form of rentals and leasing of operating equipment, primarily cars. The future rentals and leasing payments can be broken down as follows: 1999 Land and buildings DKKm Less than 1 year Between 1 and 5 years More than 5 years 47.4 96.9 47.3 191.6 Operating equipment DKKm 31.2 25.5 0.0 56.7 Total DKKm 78.6 122.4 47.3 248.3 Land and buildings DKKm 36.5 93.3 32.9 162.7 1998 Operating equipment DKKm 28.0 27.4 0.0 55.4 Total DKKm 64.5 120.7 32.9 218.1 Rentals and leasing payments charged to the profit and loss account in 1999 amounted to DKK 84.3 million (DKK 67.2 million in 1998). Purchase obligations In 1994, H. Lundbeck A/S entered into an agreement with Byk Gulden Lomberg Chemische Fabrik GmbH on the establishment of the 50/50 owned company Lundbeck GmbH & Co. (previously Promonta Lundbeck Arzneimittel GmbH & Co.). Under the agreement, H. Lundbeck A/S is to take over the partners share, when a set of specified conditions have been fulfilled, though not later than 2009. H. Lundbeck A/S has thus undertaken to buy its partners share in 2009. However, Lundbecks purchase obligation is subject to a valuation guarantee ensuring that H. Lundbeck A/S can extend the cooperation for five years if the price fixed at the time of acquisition is not in line with the general pricing for pharmaceutical companies in Germany. 78 The possible purchase price made up at 31 December 1999 would range between DKK 700 million and DKK 1 billion. The purchase price will depend on the CNS turnover achieved by Lundbeck GmbH & Co. in the year of acquisition, constituting a fixed proportion of such sales. The 2009 purchase price will thus depend on the future sales performance of Lundbeck GmbH & Co. and cannot therefore be determined at the present time. Any price in excess of the book value of the companys assets and liabilities will be treated as goodwill and product rights. According to current German tax law, goodwill and product rights are amortisable for tax purposes. Other purchase obligations The parent company has undertaken to purchase tangible fixed assets, goods and services to the extent of DKK 130.3 million (DKK 55.0 million in 1998). Research cooperation The Group is part of multi-year research cooperation projects comprising research as well as contractual obligations in order of DKK 200 million to DKK 300 million. The amount of the obligation will depend on how the cooperation develops. Obligations in respect of development loans with forgiveable clauses The parent company has also accepted liabilities in an amount of DKK 52.9 million (DKK 55.7 million in 1998) for two development loans received successively in the period from 1989 to 1997. One loan will be repaid in the period from 1999 to 2001. Depending on the marketing potential of the underlying development project, the second loan will be repaid or, alternatively, forgiven. Other contractual obligations The parent company has capital contribution obligations amounting to DKK 5.2 million (DKK 5.7 million in 1998) and has entered into various service agreements amounting to DKK 28.9 million (DKK 24.6 million in 1998). 78 Accounts
