Warrant scheme for the Executive Management and key employees (2004 plan)In 2004, the company established a warrant scheme for the Executive Management and a number of key employees in Denmark and abroad. Approx. 1,100 employees were granted a total of 2,554,092 warrants, including 160,000 granted to the Executive Management at the time. The warrants had vested fully from the commencement of the programme and could be exercised during the period from 9 December 2004 to 30 August 2007. The exercise price was DKK 108.11 throughout the exercise period. In 2007, 992,121 warrants (505,609 in 2006) were exercised under this scheme. Unexercised warrants were cancelled at 1 September 2007. The scheme was subject to the transition rules of IFRS 2 Share-based payments as the warrants vested before 1 January 2005 and therefore had not been recognised in the income statement and the balance sheet. The scheme expired in 2007 and the market value based on the Black-Scholes formula was DKK 0 at 31 December 2007 (DKK 65.1 million in 2006).

Share price based plan for employees in foreign subsidiaries (2002 plan) In 2002, the employees of foreign subsidiaries received a share price based plan, according to which employees employed by the Group throughout the period 1 June 2002 – 2 January 2006 received a cash amount equal to 50% of the value of the plan. The remaining 50% of the value of the plan will be paid if the employees have been employed by the Group throughout the period 1 June 2002 – 2 January 2008. The size of the amount depends on how much the price of the Lundbeck share at 2 January 2006 and 2 January 2008 respectively exceeds DKK 81.00 per share (equal to the special price of the Danish employee share plan). The share price based plan cannot be converted into shares because the value of the plan will be distributed as a cash amount. The year’s adjustment of the calculation basis of the share price based plan for employees employed by the Group amounted to 10,212 shares and was due to resignations (143,068 in 2006 due to termination of 50% of the plan and resignations). The plan is subject to the rules of IFRS 2 Share-based payments. The value adjustment for the year is recognised in the income statement for 2007 at an income of DKK 0.7 million (expense of DKK 4.7 million in 2006). The obligation at 31 December 2007 was DKK 7.9 million (DKK 8.6 million in 2006), including social contributions. The calculation of the obligation is adjusted for anticipated employee attrition until the time of payout.
At 31 December the calculated market value per option was based on the Black-Scholes formula for valuation of options.
