COPENHAGEN - Danish biotechnology company Genmab A/S (NASDAQ:GMAB), currently valued at $14.2 billion and showing excellent financial health according to InvestingPro analysis, has granted 3,320 restricted stock units and 3,636 warrants to employees of the company and its subsidiaries, according to a company announcement on Thursday.
The restricted stock units are awarded at no cost to recipients and provide conditional rights to receive Genmab shares. Each unit has a fair value of DKK 1,484, equal to the closing market price on the grant date. These units will vest after three years, on the first banking day of the following month. The company’s strong financial position, with more cash than debt on its balance sheet and a remarkable 95% gross profit margin, supports its ability to maintain such employee incentive programs.
The warrants were issued with an exercise price of DKK 1,484 per share. Each warrant allows the holder to subscribe to one Genmab share with a nominal value of DKK 1, subject to payment of the exercise price. Using the Black-Scholes formula, the company calculated each warrant’s fair value at DKK 452.26.
Like the restricted stock units, the warrants vest three years after issuance but have a longer expiration period, remaining valid until the seventh anniversary of the grant date.
The warrants were granted under terms established by Genmab’s Board of Directors on February 23, 2021.
Genmab, founded in 1999, is a biotechnology company focused on developing antibody therapeutics for cancer and other serious diseases. The company has operations across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. With revenue growth of 25% and trading below its Fair Value according to InvestingPro analysis, which offers comprehensive research reports on over 1,400 US stocks, Genmab demonstrates strong market potential in the biotech sector.
