Grant of Warrants to Board Members, Management and Employees in Genmab A/S


Copenhagen, Denmark; June 27, 2007 - On a board meeting held on June 27, 2007 in
Genmab A/S (CSE: GEN) the board of directors decided to issue 826,045 warrants  
to members of the board of directors, managers and employees of the company and 
the company's subsidiaries.                                                     
                                                                                
The exercise price for each warrant is DKK 352.50. Each warrant entitles the    
owner to subscribe one share of nominally DKK 1. On the basis of an exercise    
price of DKK 352.50 and by application of the Black-Scholes formula, the average
value of each warrant can be calculated as DKK 143.57 based on an interest rate 
of 4.30% and the historical volatility of Genmab A/S shares calculated at       
37.10%.                                                                         
                                                                                
The warrants vest in blocks of 25% one, two, three and four years after the     
grant date, and all warrants expire at the tenth anniversary of the grant date. 
The new warrants were granted pursuant to the warrant plan adopted by the board 
of directors on August 3, 2004. Information concerning Genmab's warrant schemes
