Bagsværd, Denmark, 13 September 2023 – As communicated on 10 August 2023 in connection with the release of Novo Nordisk's financial results for the first six months of 2023, Novo Nordisk's Board of Directors has approved a split of the trading units of the Novo Nordisk B shares listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen and of the American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) listed on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in a two-for-one ratio.
