Zealand Pharma increases its share capital as a result of the exercise of employee warrants

Copenhagen, Denmark, March 19, 2026 – Zealand Pharma A/S (“Zealand Pharma”) (NASDAQ: ZEAL) (CVR-no. 20 04 50 78), a Copenhagen-based biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based medicines, has by decision of the Board of Directors increased its share capital by a nominal amount of DKK 10,530 divided into 10,530 new shares with a nominal value of DKK 1 each. The capital increase is a consequence of the exercise of warrants granted under one of Zealand Pharma’s employee warrant programs.

Employee warrant programs are part of Zealand Pharma’s incentive scheme. Each warrant gives the owner the right to subscribe for one newly issued Zealand Pharma share at a prespecified exercise price within the specific predefined time periods before expiration in the warrant programs. For a more detailed description of Zealand Pharma’s warrant programs, see the company’s Articles of Association, which are available on the website: www.zealandpharma.com.

The exercise price was DKK 90.70 per share for 10,530 new shares. The total proceeds to Zealand Pharma from the capital increase amount to DKK 955,071.

The new shares give rights to dividends and other rights from the time of the respective warrant holder’s exercise notice. Each new share carries one vote at Zealand Pharma’s general meetings. Zealand Pharma has only one class of shares.

The new shares will be admitted to trading on Nasdaq Copenhagen after the capital increase has been registered with the Danish Business Authority. Following registration of the capital increase with the Danish Business Authority, the share capital of Zealand Pharma will be nominally DKK 71,515,045 divided into 71,525,575 shares with a nominal value of DKK 1 each and corresponding to a total of 71,525,575 votes.
