Novo Nordisk Annual General Meeting 2024 4 Elaboration on the items on the agenda Item 5: Remuneration Item 5.1: Approval of the remuneration of the Board of Directors for 2024 The remuneration of the Board of Directors was most recently adjusted in 2023. As mentioned in the notice for the Annual General Meeting 2023, the Board of Directors expected to continue the general review of the Board remuneration levels during 2023 in light of the general market developments for Board remuneration as well as developments in Novo Nordisk’s business. The Remuneration Committee and the Board has now conducted the review of the level of Board fees, including a comparison against the Board fees paid by Nordic general industry companies as well as European pharma companies similar to Novo Nordisk in size, complexity and market capitalisation (see the Remuneration Report 2023, page 13). The benchmark shows that the 2023 fee to the Board members of Novo Nordisk A/S was above the upper quartile of the Nordic general industry peer group and slightly below the lower quartile of the European Pharma peer group. To reflect the Company’s position relative to the Nordic general industry peer group and the European Pharma peer group, secure a competitive fee level and fairly reflect the Board member’s role, actual function and responsibilities on the Board, the Board proposes to increase the base fee with 7.1% from DKK 784,000 in 2023 to DKK 840,000 as from 2024. This change would still place the fee to a Board member above the upper quartile of the Nordic peer group, while now placing it between the lower quartile and median of the European Pharma peer group based on 2023 benchmark figures. Similarly, the fee to the Chair will continue to be above the upper quartile of the Nordic general industry peer group and below the lower quartile of the European Pharma peer group, while the fee to the Vice Chair will be placed as the Board member fee based on 2023 benchmark figures. The Board members shall receive multiples of the base fee in accordance with the Remuneration Policy: 1. The chair shall receive 4.00 times the base fee. 2. The vice chair shall receive 2.00 times the base fee. 3. The other Board members shall receive the base fee. In addition, Board committee members shall receive multiples of the base fee in accordance with the Remuneration Policy. It is proposed to acknowledge the Research & Development committee’s strategic importance by increasing the multiplier from 0.50 times the base fee to 0 . 75 times the base fee for the committee chair and from 0 . 25 times the base fee to 0 . 50 times the base fee for the committee members as from 2024 (see item 5 . 3 regarding amendment of the Remuneration Policy) . The Board committee members shall receive the following: 1. The Audit Committee chair shall receive 1.00 times the base fee and Audit Committee members shall receive 0.50 times the base fee. 2. The Research and Development Committee chair shall receive 0.75 time the base fee and the Research and Development Committee members shall receive 0.50 times the base fee (subject to approval of the Remuneration Policy under item 5.3). 3. Chairs of the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee shall receive 0.50 times the base fee and committee members of the Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee shall receive 0.25 times the base fee. Item 1: The Board of Directors' oral report on the Company’s activities in the past financial year The Board of Directors proposes that the oral report on the Company’s activities in the past financial year is noted by the Annual General Meeting. Item 2: Presentation and adoption of the audited Annual Report 2023 The Board of Directors proposes that the audited Annual Report 2023 is adopted by the Annual General Meeting . The Annual Report is available on the Company’s website at www . novonordisk . com/agm . Item 3: Resolution to distribute the profit according to the adopted Annual Report 2023 The Board of Directors proposes that the final dividend for 2023 is DKK 6.40 for each Novo Nordisk A or B share amount of DKK 0.10. The total dividend for 2023 of DKK 9.40 includes both the interim dividend of DKK 3.00 for each Novo Nordisk A and B share amount of DKK 0.10, which was paid in August 2023, and the final dividend of DKK 6.40 for each Novo Nordisk A and B share of DKK 0.10 to be paid in March 2024. The total dividend per share amount of DKK 0.10 is increased by 51.6% compared to 2022. The total dividend for 2023 corresponds to a pay - out ratio of 50.2%. Item 4: Presentation of and advisory vote on the Remuneration Report 2023 The Board of Directors proposes that the Remuneration Report 2023 is adopted by the Annual General Meeting. The Remuneration Report 2023 is available on the Company’s website at novonordisk.com/agm .

Novo Nordisk Annual General Meeting 2024 5 In addition, the Board of Directors proposes that the travel allowance is maintained at the same level as in 2023: 1. For Board meetings and committee - related meetings held in the home country of the Board member with five hours or more air travel each member shall receive DKK 42,000. 2. For Board meetings and committee - related meetings held outside the home country of the Bboard member, but on home continent each member shall receive DKK 42,000. 3. For Board meetings and committee - related meetings held on another continent than the home country of the Board member each member shall receive DKK 84 , 000 . The actual remuneration of the Board of Directors for 2024 shall be approved by the Annual General Meeting in 2025. The Board of Directors expects to continue the general review of the Board remuneration levels during 2024 in light of the general market developments for Board remuneration as well as the developments in Novo Nordisk’s business. Based on this review, the Board may submit a proposal for adjusted Board remuneration to the Annual General Meeting in 2025. Item 5.2: Indemnification of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management: As described in Novo Nordisk’s Remuneration Policy, it is the Company’s policy to take out directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (’D&O Insurance’) and, further, to indemnify members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Management in situations where there is no or inadequate coverage under the D&O Insurance. The indemnification scheme (the ‘Scheme’) that is currently in place was approved by the Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021 and is reflected in the Company’s current Remuneration Policy (pages 4 and 9). In a recent letter, the Danish Business Authority has expressed new guiding principles for indemnification schemes. With a view to reflect this new guidance, the Board of Directors proposes that the Scheme be updated and reapproved by the Annual General Meeting. With due regard to the regulatory environment in which the Company operates and the current insurance markets, the Board of Directors continues to find it in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to offer comprehensive liability coverage for Board members and Executive Management through a combination of the Scheme and customary D&O Insurance. Together, these offer relevant protection to those serving and taking decisions for the Company and they help ensure the Company is able to continue attracting and retaining qualified and suitable candidates for such positions. The Scheme is intended to cover claims raised against directors and officers in the discharge of their duties as well as related defence and investigation costs to the fullest extent possible, in each case subject to the exclusions set out under item 5.2(a) and (b). If claims are covered by D&O Insurance, indemnification under the Scheme shall not be available. The Scheme will thus cover only those matters not covered by D&O Insurance and matters exceeding the coverage available under any applicable D&O Insurance. For the avoidance of doubt, indemnification under the Scheme is not conditional upon any coverage under the D&O Insurance or other sources first being exhausted. Item 5 . 2 (a) Indemnification of the Board of Directors The Board of Directors proposes that the following revised Scheme for indemnification of Board members be adopted by the Annual General Meeting : “It is Novo Nordisk’s policy to take out directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (D&O Insurance) on such terms and conditions as the company considers appropriate from time to time. It is further the company’s policy to supplement a D&O Insurance with a scheme which allows for indemnification of current, former, and future Board members (jointly referred to as Board members). Novo Nordisk’s general meeting has consequently approved a scheme of indemnification (the Scheme) pursuant to which Novo Nordisk undertakes to indemnify and hold harmless each Board member from and against losses (including any costs, expenses and potential tax liabilities associated therewith) incurred by such Board member and arising out of such person’s discharge of his/her duties as a director of Novo Nordisk. The Scheme will cover claims arising out of circumstances or events having occurred after 21 March 2024 and no later than 1 July 2028. Claims made after 21 March 2024 but arising out of circumstances or events having occurred on or prior to 21 March 2024 shall be covered by the scheme adopted by the Annual General Meeting on 25 March 2021. The Scheme is adopted for the benefit of the individual Board member and no third party shall be entitled to rely on or derive any benefits from the Scheme or have any recourse against Novo Nordisk on account of the Scheme.

Novo Nordisk Annual General Meeting 2024 6 Excluded from coverage under the Scheme are losses, etc., derived from: (a) Any claims if and to the extent covered by insurance taken out by Novo Nordisk, including any applicable D&O Insurance, it being understood that the indemnification may also cover claims not covered in whole or in part by any such insurance; (b) Any claims raised against a Board member arising out of such Board member’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or improper acts or omissions (in Danish “utilbørlige dispositioner”); (c) Any claims raised against the Board member by Novo Nordisk or a Novo Nordisk subsidiary; (d) Any sanctioned offence under applicable criminal law committed by a Board member, to the extent such losses, etc., constitute penal sanctions, including fines, or related defence costs; and (e) Any other claims, if and to the extent it would be inconsistent with applicable law to offer the benefits of the Scheme to the Board member. The Board of Directors shall administer and implement the Scheme, including by laying down the detailed terms and conditions and defining monetary thresholds and other limits to the scope of coverage, in each case consistent with the resolution approved by the Annual General Meeting on 21 March 2024. The individual Board Member is covered by the Scheme only to the extent provided for in such detailed terms and conditions communicated to the Board Member. The Board of Directors is further authorised to take any decisions in relation to the Scheme. In this context, the Board of Directors may determine whether a claim is comprised by the Scheme and/or refer such determination and/or any other specific decisions related to the Scheme to a third - party expert or independent committee.” As reflected above, the Scheme will be implemented and managed by the Board of Directors acting in accordance with the resolution approved by the Annual General Meeting. Item 5.2(b) Indemnification of the Executive Management The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves the revised Scheme also be extended to existing, former and future members of the Executive Management (jointly referred to as ‘Executive Management’). The Scheme for the Executive Management shall be subject to same terms as set out in respect of the Board of Directors under item 5.2(a). The Board of Directors shall implement and manage the Scheme for Executive Management, including by laying down the detailed terms and conditions, monetary thresholds and other limits to scope of coverage, in accordance with the resolution approved by the General Meeting. The individual manager will be covered by the Scheme only to the extent provided for in such detailed terms and conditions communicated to the manager. The Board of Directors is further authorised to take any decisions in relation to the Scheme for Executive Management. In this context, the Board of Directors may determine whether a claim is comprised by the Scheme and/or refer such determination and/or any other specific decisions related to the Scheme to a third - party expert or independent committee. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may adopt indemnification arrangements for other employees and management members, which may be subject to terms and conditions which vary from the Scheme. Item 5.2(c): Amendments to the Articles of Association The Board of Directors proposes that the adoption of the Scheme for indemnification of members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management be reflected in the Articles of Association, in each case to the extent approved pursuant to agenda items 5.2(a) and 5.2(b). The Board of Directors consequently proposes the addition of the following new Article 10.11 to the Articles of Association: ”The Company’s general meeting has adopted a resolution approving a scheme for indemnification of current, former, and future members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management in respect of losses (including any costs, expenses and potential tax liabilities associated therewith) incurred by such persons arising out of the discharge of their duties as a director or manager of the Company. The scheme is implemented and managed by the Board of Directors in accordance with the resolution of the general meeting.” Item 5.3: Approval of the Remuneration Policy The Remuneration Policy was significantly revised and approved by the Annual General Meeting in 2020. Subsequently, minor adjustments have been approved by the Annual General Meeting every year. In line with the Danish Companies Act, the full Remuneration Policy is submitted for a vote at the Annual General Meeting in 2024. Novo Nordisk A/S is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the ‘NYSE’). NYSE recently adopted in accordance with a new rule adopted by the US Securities & Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) a listing standard requiring all listed companies (including foreign private issuers) to adopt and comply with a written claw back policy requiring public companies to recover excess incentive compensation from executive officers if such amounts were based on material misstatements in financial reports. In order to comply with this requirement, the Board has approved a new separate executive incentive claw back policy effective as of 1 December 2023 and proposes that the section on claw back and malus in the Remuneration Policy be updated to reflect such new executive incentive claw back policy. Moreover, the Board of Directors and the Remuneration Committee have undertaken a general review of the Remuneration Policy and propose the following additional substantive changes be adopted by the Annual General Meeting:

Novo Nordisk Annual General Meeting 2024 7 • The multipliers for the Research & Development Committee have been increased from 0.50 to 0.75 times the annual base fee for the chair and from 0.25 to 0.50 times the annual base fee for other committee members in light of the strategic importance of the committee. • The wording of the indemnification scheme for members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management will be updated to reflect decisions made by the Annual General Meeting under item 5 . 2 (a) and (b) . • The maximum payout under the short - term incentive programme (STIP) has been increased from 9 months’ base salary to 12 months’ base salary for the executive vice presidents to improve current market positioning relative to the Nordic general industry peer group and the European Pharma peer group reflecting the Company’s growth as well as for retention reasons. • The maximum payout under the long - term incentive programme (LTIP) has been increased from 26 months’ base salary to 30 months’ base salary for the chief executive officer and from 19.5 months’ base salary to 24 months’ base salary for the executive vice presidents to improve current market positioning relative to the Nordic general industry peer group and the European Pharma peer group reflecting the Company’s growth as well as for retention reasons. • The Board’s authorisation to grant a cash bonus in exceptional circumstances to one or more executives for an extraordinary performance has been capped and may not exceed 250% of the annual base salary for the executive in question to align the approach with market practice. • For LTIPs established in 2024 onwards, the requirement on executives to hold shares allocated for two years following the three - year performance period has been reduced from 50% to 40% of the shares allowing executives to sell shares to cover taxes. • The shareholding requirements have been increased from 2 to 3 times the annual base salary for the chief executive officer and from 1 to 1.5 time the respective annual base salary for the executive vice presidents to reflect the increased long - term incentive pay - out opportunity from 2024 onwards. • To ensure a higher degree of alignment with the Danish Corporate Governance Recommendations and reflect a historical practice, the total value of the remuneration for the notice period, including the severance payment, should not exceed two years’ total remuneration, including all remuneration components. • The Board’s authorisation to deviate from Section 3 of the Remuneration Policy in exceptional circumstances has been further specified and it is now expressly stated that the evaluation must be based on valid, verifiable, and objective criteria in addition to the existing criteria. Item 6: Election of members to the Board of Directors Item 6.1: Election of chair The Board of Directors proposes re - election for a one - year term of Helge Lund as chair of the Board of Directors. Item 6.2: Election of vice chair The Board of Directors proposes re - election for a one - year term of Henrik Poulsen as vice chair of the Board of Directors. Item 6.3: Election of other members to the Board of Directors The Board of Directors proposes re - election for a one - year term of the following shareholder - elected Board members: Laurence Debroux, Andreas Fibig, Sylvie Grégoire, Kasim Kutay, Christina Law and Martin Mackay. Please see the Appendix for a description of the qualifications, executive and non - executive functions, etc. held in other companies by the nominated candidates. Item 7: Appointment of auditor The Board of Directors proposes appointment of Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab as auditor in accordance with the Audit Committee’s recommendation in respect of statutory financial and sustainability reporting. The recommendation from the Audit Committee is free from influence by third parties and no agreements with third parties which restrict the choice as regards the appointment of a particular statutory auditor or audit firm have been imposed on it. Item 8: Proposals from the Board of Directors and/or shareholders Item 8.1: Reduction of the Company's B share capital by nominally DKK 4,500,000 by cancellation of B shares The Board of Directors proposes that the Company’s B share capital is reduced from DKK 343,512,800 to DKK 339,012,800 by cancellation of part of the Company’s own holding of B shares at a nominal value of DKK 4,500,000 divided into 45,000,000 B shares of DKK 0.10 each. After reduction of the share capital, the Company’s share capital will amount to DKK 446,500,000 divided into A share capital of DKK 107,487,200 and B share capital of DKK 339,012,800. The purpose of the reduction of the Company’s share capital is to distribute funds to the shareholders by way of the Company repurchasing shares in accordance with the authorisations granted to the Board of Directors at previous Annual General Meetings. If the proposal is adopted, the Company’s holding of own shares will be reduced by 45,000,000 B shares of DKK 0.10 each. These B shares were repurchased for the total sum of DKK 26,431,000,000 which means that, in addition to the nominal reduction amount, DKK 26,426,500,000 has been distributed to shareholders. The Board of Directors’ proposal to reduce the Company’s B share capital is made in order to maintain capital structure flexibility.

Novo Nordisk Annual General Meeting 2024 8 Adoption of the proposal implies the following amendment of Article 3.1 of the Articles of Association taking effect upon completion of the capital reduction: “3.1 The Company’s share capital amounts to DKK 446,500,000 divided into A share capital of DKK 107,487,200 and B share capital of DKK 339,012,800.” Item 8.2: Authorisation to the Board of Directors to allow the Company to repurchase own shares The Board of Directors proposes that an authorisation of the Board of Directors is granted to allow the Company to repurchase own shares until the Annual General Meeting in 2025, up to a total nominal amount of DKK 44,650,000, corresponding to 10% of the share capital following the capital reduction, cf. item 8.1, subject to a holding limit of 10% of the share capital. The repurchase must take place at a price equal to the share price quoted at the time of the repurchase with a deviation of up to 10%. Novo Nordisk’s guiding principle is that any excess cash should be returned to investors. The dividend policy is to have a dividend level comparable to our peers, and this is complemented by share repurchase programmes to ensure the guiding principle is achieved. The Company considers it good corporate governance and consistent with the Company’s strategy for its share repurchase programmes that the mandate to repurchase existing shares is limited in amount and affirmed by the Annual General Meeting on a regular basis. Item 8.3: Authorisation to the Board of Directors to increase the Company's share capital The Board of Directors’ current authorisation in Article 5.3 of the Articles of Association to increase the share capital expires on 25 March 2025. Therefore, the Board of Directors proposes to extend the authorisation for a period of 1 year until 25 March 2026 and to limit the maximum share capital increase to a total of nominally DKK 44,650,000 for the authorisations under Article 5.3. Article 5.3, subject to adoption of the proposal, will be worded as follows: “(a) Until 25 March 2026, the Board of Directors shall be authorised to increase the share capital in one or more stages with pre - emptive rights for the existing shareholders by up to a total nominal amount of DKK 44,650,000. The capital increase may take place by payment in cash. The capital increase may take place at a subscription price lower than the market price, provided that the capital increase takes place proportionately between A shares and B shares. The holders of A shares shall in such case have a pre - emptive right to subscribe for new A shares, and holders of B shares shall have a pre - emptive right to subscribe for new B shares. If the capital increase takes place at market price, the capital increase may take place by proportionate issuance of A shares and B shares or by issuance of B shares only. In case of issuance of A shares as well as B shares, the holders of A shares shall have a pre - emptive right to subscribe for new A shares, and holders of B shares shall have a pre - emptive right to subscribe for new B shares. In case of issuance of B shares only, the holders of both classes of shares shall have proportionate pre - emptive subscription rights for the new B shares. (b) Until 25 March 2026, the Board of Directors is authorised to increase the share capital in one or more stages without pre - emptive rights for the existing shareholders by issuing B shares for up to a total nominal amount of DKK 44,650,000. The capital increase shall take place at market price and may take place either by payment in cash or by contribution of assets other than cash. (c) The authority given to the Board of Directors under Articles 5.3(a) - (b) above can in the aggregate only be exercised to increase the share capital by a maximum nominal amount of DKK 44,650,000.”

Diversity ambition It is the aim that at least two shareholder - elected members are of Nordic nationality and two of non - Nordic nationality and to have at least three shareholder - elected Board members of each gender by 2025. With the proposed candidates the shareholder - elected Board members will consist of three Nordic members and six non - Nordic members. Of these, three members are female and six are male. Thus, the Board of Directors fulfils its nationality and gender ambition. Independence It is Novo Nordisk’s aspiration that at least half of its shareholder - elected Board members should be independent in accordance with the Danish Recommendations on Corporate Governance. Further, in order to ensure that Novo Nordisk and its controlling shareholder share a common vision and goals, it is desirable to have a number of Board members representing the main shareholder. However, in order to get an outside perspective on Novo Nordisk’s business, it is also desirable to have a number of Board members who do not represent the main shareholder. Two of the proposed candidates, Mr Poulsen and Mr Kutay, are not considered to be independent of the Company as Mr Poulsen holds a board position at Novo Holdings A/S and Mr Kutay is chief executive officer of Novo Holdings A/S, the main shareholder of the Company. If all proposed candidates are elected to the Board, the Board will satisfy the aspiration to have a number of Board members representing the main shareholder and that at least half of the Board members elected by the shareholders shall be independent. General considerations All shareholder - elected Board members are to be elected or re - elected each year for a one - year term and the terms for each and all Board members expire at the Annual General Meeting in March 2024. The Nomination Committee assists the Board with the identification and nomination of Board members based on the Board Competence Profile which is available at https://www.novonordisk.com/about/ corporate - governance.html.
