**Genmab Announces Completion of Tender Offer for Outstanding Common Shares of Merus N.V. and Commencement of Subsequent Offering Period**

**Company Announcement**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Transaction adds petosemtamab, a late-stage asset with two Breakthrough Therapy Designations, to Genmab's portfolio**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• **Transaction anticipated to be accretive to Genmab's EBITDA by end of 2029**

**COPENHAGEN, Denmark; December 12, 2025 – Genmab A/S (Nasdaq: GMAB) ("Genmab") announced today that the conditions, including the minimum tender condition, to the previously announced tender offer (the "Offer") by Genmab Holding II B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Genmab ("Purchaser"), to acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Merus N.V. (Nasdaq: MRUS) ("Merus") for $97 per common share in cash have been satisfied.** The transaction meaningfully accelerates Genmab's shift to a wholly owned model, expanding and diversifying the company's revenue, driving sustained growth into the next decade and contributing to Genmab's evolution into a biotechnology leader.

"The Merus acquisition marks a pivotal step in the delivery of Genmab's long-term strategy and strengthens our path to becoming a global biotechnology leader with sustained growth and profitability. We are energized by the potential of petosemtamab to meaningfully impact the lives of people with head and neck cancer. Backed by our track record of successful development and commercial execution, we look forward to unlocking petosemtamab's full potential and delivering on its promise to patients," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

The addition of petosemtamab, Merus' lead asset, to Genmab's promising late-stage pipeline is a compelling strategic fit with Genmab's portfolio and aligns with Genmab's expertise in antibody therapy development and commercialization in oncology. Based on this successful track record in late-stage development and excellence in commercial execution, Genmab expects to launch petosemtamab in 2027, subject to clinical results and receipt of regulatory approvals. Genmab also intends to broaden and accelerate petosemtamab's development with potential expansion into other lines of therapy. Following the initial approval of petosemtamab, Genmab believes that petosemtamab will be accretive to EBITDA with at least one-billion-dollar annual sales potential by 2029, with multi-billion-dollar annual revenue potential thereafter.

At 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 11, 2025 (the "**Expiration Time**"), the Offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled. The depositary for the Offer has advised Genmab and Purchaser that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 71,463,077 of Merus' issued and outstanding common shares, constituting 94.2% of its issued and outstanding common shares, had been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn. Effective at 12:01 a.m. New York City time on December 12, 2025, Purchaser accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all Merus common shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

**Subsequent Offering Period**

Genmab also announced that, as previously disclosed, Purchaser is providing a subsequent offering period of ten business days (the "**Subsequent Offering Period**"), commencing today, December 12, 2025, that will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 29, 2025. During the Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser will offer to purchase additional common shares at the same consideration of $97.00 per share, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. All Common shares validly tendered during the Subsequent Offering Period will be immediately accepted and promptly paid for by Purchaser.

Following completion of the Subsequent Offering Period, Genmab and Purchaser intend to complete the acquisition of 100% of Merus through a series of previously disclosed back-end transactions. Merus shareholders who do not tender their common shares of Merus in the Offer will receive payment for their
