Copenhagen, Denmark; April 25, 2012 - Following Genmab A/S' (OMX: GEN) Annual
General Meeting held on April 25, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors met to
constitute itself and furthermore decided to issue 27,000 warrants to employees
of the company as well as the company's subsidiaries. 

Following Genmab A/S' Annual General Meeting on April 25, 2012 the Board of
Directors convened and constituted itself with Dr. Anders Gersel Pedersen as
Chairman and Dr. Burton G. Malkiel as Deputy Chairman. 

Subsequently, on the meeting today the Board decided to issue 27,000 warrants
to employees of the company as well as the company's subsidiaries. 

The exercise price for each warrant is DKK 45.24. Each warrant entitles the
owner to subscribe one share of nominally DKK 1. On the basis of an exercise
price of DKK 45.24 and by application of the Black-Scholes formula, the average
value of each warrant can be calculated as DKK 22.32 based on an interest rate
of 0.8468% and the historical volatility of Genmab A/S shares calculated at
62.56%. 

The warrants vest in blocks of 25% one, two, three and four years after the
grant date, and all warrants expire at the seventh anniversary of the grant
date. The new warrants were granted pursuant to the warrant plan adopted by the
board on April 25, 2012. Information concerning Genmab's warrant schemes can be
