Claw-back right of Galapagos relating to variable remuneration

As from financial year 2020, contractual provisions apply to each management board member to ensure that Galapagos has the right to have each management board member forfeit any unvested RSUs, deferred portions of previous cash bonuses or unvested subscription rights in the event of a restatement of the financial statements that has a material negative effect on Galapagos or a material breach of our Code of Conduct and Ethics.

During the financial year 2021 no claw-back events occurred.

The 2021 RSU plans and 2021 subscription right plans contain bad leaver provisions that can result in forfeiture of any unvested RSU and/or subscription right grants in case the beneficiary leaves Galapagos prior to the relevant vesting date.
