Good morning, and welcome. On behalf of the Board of Directors, it’s my great pleasure to welcome you today to Lundbeck’s Annual General Meeting. And it’s wonderful to see so many of you here in person today. I would like to mention that we offer our shareholders also to attend the Annual General Meeting via webcast, both in Danish and in English. And we provide simultaneous interpretation into English and Danish to allow shareholders from different backgrounds to attend our Annual General Meeting.
As you will be aware, this Annual General Meeting concludes my first year as Chair of the Board of Directors. It has been an honor and a privilege to step into this role at a pivotal moment in Lundbeck’s history when a major transformation has just been going on since 2024. And in 2025, amidst significant geopolitical uncertainties, we have strengthened strategic momentum with continued strong growth, additional transformation of our pipeline and successful execution of an ambitious capital reallocation program. Lundbeck has an exciting path ahead, and I very much look forward to supporting this next phase in this great company’s proud history.
Let me now present the Board of Directors for 2025, and I’m glad to say that most of them are present here today. The members elected by the Annual General Meeting in addition to myself are Lene Skole-Sorensen, Vice Chair; Santiago Arroyo; Jeffrey Berkowitz; Lars Green; Jakob Riis; and Lars Erik Holmqvist. In addition, we have 4 employee-elected Board members and also a majority of them are present here today, Dorte Clausen; Lasse Skibsbye; Camilla Gram Andersson; and Hossein Armandi.
