Shareholder Information Market value 1999 The allotment of shares in connection with the flotation of the company on 18 June 1999 took place at a price of DKK 175. Since then, the shares have risen to DKK 296.03 at the end of the year, corresponding to a 69% rise. For comparison, the KFX index rose by 16.6%, while the Copenhagen Stock Exchanges all-share index rose by 21.5% in the same period. From flotation to the end of 1999, H. Lundbeck A/Ss market value has risen from DKK 10.2 billion to DKK 17.2 billion. Measured by market value, H. Lundbeck A/S was the tenth largest company on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange at the end of 1999, and the companys shares constitute 1.75% of the total market value of all shares listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. In just over six months, from the flotation on 18 June 1999 to the end of the year, 22.4 million shares were sold, corresponding to a market value of DKK 4,956 million.

Shares The company has only one class of shares, and no shares have special rights. The shares are negotiable instruments with no restrictions on their transferability. The companys shares are registered shares and must thus be listed in the register of shareholders. Lundbeck wishes to serve its shareholders in the best possible way and to provide them with information about the company. That is why, according to our Articles of Association, all shares must be registered in the register of shareholders. Shareholders who have not already registered their shareholding are therefore requested to do so. Employee shares At the beginning of December, Lundbeck issued 275,175 shares at a price of DKK 52.50 to its Danish employees. The shares have the same rights and obligations as the companys other shares. The employee shares account for approx. 0.5% of the companys share capital. Share capital As at 31 December 1999, the companys share capital comprised 58,275,175 DKK 20 shares, corresponding to a nominal share capital of DKK 1,165,503,500. Dividend In connection with the flotation of the company, the Supervisory Board set out its policy on dividends, which was to pay a yearly dividend of between 15 and 25% of the profit after tax. The dividend has to be approved by the company in general meeting. At the coming Annual General Meeting, the Supervisory Board will propose that a dividend of DKK 2,25 be paid per DKK 20 share, corresponding to 21.1% of the net profit for the year. The dividend for the year will be paid automatically via the Danish Securities Centre not later than 5 banking days after the Annual General Meeting. Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting will be held at 4pm on Tuesday, 28 March, at Valbyhallen. Shareholders The Lundbeck Foundation, 9 Ottiliavej, DK-2500 Valby, Denmark is the only shareholder holding more than 5% of the share capital.
