Exhibit 1 to Convening Notice


General guidelines for incentive pay to members of the Board of Directors and
the Executive Management

Board of Directors

Members of the Board of Directors receive a fixed annual fee. The Chairman of
the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receive a
supplement to the fixed annual fee.

In addition to the fixed annual fee, the members of the Board of Directors are
annually granted a fixed number of warrants. The estimated present value of
warrants granted in a given financial year may be up to 100 % of the fixed
annual fee to the individual member of the Board of Directors. The estimated
present value is calculated in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). The general terms and conditions applying to the
grant, vesting, exercise, etc. of the warrants must be within the general terms
and conditions applying if warrants are to be granted to members of the
Executive Management, cf. below, and which also apply to other employees in the
Company which has been granted warrants.

Upon election, each member of the Board of Directors may decide to exchange the
annual fee for an additional number of warrants. Likewise, the fixed number of
warrants for an additional annual fee.


The aggregated annual fees, the supplemental and additional annual fees, as
well as warrants granted are disclosed in the Annual Report and subsequently
approved at the Annual General Meeting.


Executive Management

The Compensation Committee performs an annual review of the remuneration
package paid to members of the Executive Management.

The remuneration paid to members of the Executive Management consists of a
fixed and a variable part. The fixed pay consists of cash salary, pension
contribution and other benefits.

As an element of the variable pay, members of the Executive Management may
receive an annual bonus, subject to achievement of certain benchmarks. The
bonus proportion varies among the members of the Executive Management, but
cannot exceed 100 is subject to a target on 45 % of the fixed annual cash
salary. The actual bonus paid to the members of the Executive Management is
disclosed in the Annual Report at an aggregated level. At the date of adoption
of these guidelines, the bonus benchmarks comprise primarily of the progress in
the Company's development of its product candidates, but they may be changed by
the Board of Directors.


Another element of the variable pay is made up of new warrants and is intended
to ensure that the Executive Management's incentive correlates with creation of
shareholder value. The estimated aggregated present value of new warrants
granted in a given financial year to the members of the Executive Management
may be up to 100 % of the aggregated fixed annual cash salary to the members of
the Executive Management. The estimated present value is calculated in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The
grant of new warrants may or may not be subject to achievement of defined
benchmarks. The exercise price of the new warrants cannot be less than the
market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The new warrants may
have a maximum term of up to 7 years and the exercise of the new warrants may
be subject to a vesting period of up to 4 years. New warrants may be granted on
such terms that the gain is taxed as share income while the costs of the grant
are not tax deductible for the Company. The number of new warrants granted to
each member of the Executive Management and their estimated present value is
disclosed in the Annual Report.
