With regulatory approvals in Japan and Europe, EPKINLY/TEPKINLY is the first Genmab-owned

are in need of alternative therapeutic options,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of
Genmab. “We look forward to continue to work with our partner, AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), to further explore
epcoritamab as a potential future core therapy across B-cell malignancies.”
