As from 2004, members of Novo Nordisk's Executive Management and other members of the Senior Management Board have participated in a long-term share-based incentive programme where a proportion of the calculated shareholder value creation has been allocated to a joint pool for the participants. For 2009, 177,066 shares were allocated to the joint pool and the market value of the scheme was expensed in the accounts for 2009. In accordance with the principles of the programme, the Board of Directors of Novo Nordisk A/S on 30 January 2013 evaluated that the conditions for release of the joint pool of shares have been fulfilled.
Accordingly, the shares in the joint pool were transferred to 28 current and former members of senior management on 31 January 2013.
