NOTE

Unique Corporate Structure of Novo Nordisk

Novo Nordisk has a unique corporate structure with an operating company 100% owned and controlled by a foundation. This governance structure greatly impacts the company's incentives, product development, and market approach. This structure is common in Danish companies due to tax reasons and serves as a generational transfer mechanism. The Nordisk Foundation has a dual mission of selling insulin at cost in Scandinavia for public health benefit, while exporting at market prices to fund further diabetes research and development, with all profits being used for grants and research in Scandinavia.
