Contractual provisions regarding compensation for severance for Executive Committee members
In 2023, all Executive Committee members have provided their services under agreements with the Galapagos Group, with a notice period, or indemnity in lieu of notice period, of nine months for the CEO and six months for the other Executive Committee members. The agreements do not provide for severance payments. In the event of termination, Galapagos may enter into non-competition undertakings with the CEO and the other Executive Committee members providing for non-competition indemnities. In the event their contract with the group is terminated as a result of a change of control of Galapagos, the CEO and the other Executive Committee members would be entitled to the immediate vesting of subscription rights and severance compensation of (i) 12 months' base salary for the CEO and (ii) nine months' base salary for the other Executive Committee members.
