Exhibit 99.1
Grant of Restricted Stock Units to Board Members and Employees and Grant of Warrants to Employees in Genmab
Company Announcement
Copenhagen, Denmark; December 15, 2020 – Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) announced today that at a board meeting the board decided to grant 9,663 restricted stock units to members of the board of directors and employees of the company as well as the company's subsidiaries and 24,964 warrants to employees of the company and the company's subsidiaries.
Each restricted stock unit is awarded cost-free and provides the owner with a right and obligation to receive one share in Genmab A/S of nominally DKK 1. The vesting of the restricted stock units granted to members of the board of directors will be subject to additional vesting criteria in the event of a change of control. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is equal to the closing market price on the date of grant of one Genmab A/S share, DKK 2,381.
The restricted stock units will vest on the first banking day of the month following a period of three years from the date of grant. Furthermore, the restricted stock units are subject to vesting conditions set out in the restricted stock unit program adopted by the board of directors in accordance with the Remuneration Policy adopted by the shareholders at the annual general meeting. Information concerning Genmab’s restricted stock unit program can be found on www.genmab.com under Investors > Stock information > Restricted stock units.
The exercise price for each warrant is DKK 2,381. Each warrant is awarded cost-free and entitles the owner to subscribe one share of nominally DKK 1 subject to payment of the exercise price. By application of the Black-Scholes formula, the fair value of each warrant can be calculated as DKK 754.05.
The warrants vest three years after the grant date, and all warrants expire at the seventh anniversary of the grant date. The new warrants have been granted on the terms and conditions set out in the warrant program adopted by the board of directors on March 28, 2017. Information concerning Genmab’s warrant schemes can be found on www.genmab.com under Investors > Stock information > Warrants.
