Throughout this report the term “Galapagos NV” shall refer solely to the non-consolidated Belgian company. “Galapagos” or “Group” or “Company” shall refer to the consolidated group of companies. The companies included in the consolidated results are: Galapagos NV (Mechelen, Belgium); Galapagos BV (Leiden, The Netherlands); BioFocus DPI (Holdings) Ltd. and its subsidiaries BioFocus DPI Ltd. (Saffron Walden, UK); BioFocus, Inc. and its subsidiaries, BioFocus DPI LLC, and Xenometrix Inc.; BioFocus DPI AG (Basel, Switzerland) and its subsidiary Discovery Partners International GmbH (Heidelberg, Germany); Inpharmatica Ltd. (Saffron Walden, UK); Galapagos SASU (Romainville, France), Argenta Discovery 2009 Ltd. (Harlow, UK), Cangenix Ltd. (Canterbury, UK) and Fidelta d.o.o. (Zagreb, Croatia). 1. OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT, RESULT AND POSITION OF THE GALAPAGOS GROUP In 2013, Galapagos delivered further validation of its strategy and scientific approach, both in the clinic and on the deal-making front. Galapagos’ pipeline has matured further and is supported by the strongest balance sheet ever. The Company expects readouts from four patient studies between now and the end of 2015, with additional novel target based programs moving into pre-clinical and clinical stages in that period as well. Galapagos is well-positioned to capitalize on its considerable R&D assets. Financially, 2013 was a very good year for the Company. The Company grew Group revenues 4% to €160 million, in line with management guidance. The Company limited its operating and net loss, notwithstanding the planned substantial increase in spending on Phase 2 clinical programs. The service division improved its performance in the second half of the year, delivering 5% external revenues growth in H2 2013 compared to H2 2012, normalized for the discontinuation of BioFocus’ Basel operations. Despite the weak first half of 2013, the service division ended the full year with 2% external 4 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 sales growth on a normalized basis1. Galapagos’ liquid assets position is solid with cash reserves of €141.5 million on 31 December 2013 plus €6.0 million in 2013 milestone receivables. With the subsequent divestiture of the service operations in March 2014, Galapagos has strengthened its balance sheet to unlock more shareholder value in the pipeline. R&D division delivers strong Phase 2 pipeline, with substantial progress in earlier stage programs Galapagos invested substantially in its R&D programs, reflecting the progression of multiple programs into Phase 2 clinical development. More than half of the investment made was on Phase 2 studies in rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease with selective JAK1 inhibitor GLPG0634, putting Galapagos into position to earn a $200 million licensing fee and a $50 million Crohn’s success payment in 2015. Galapagos ended 2013 with three Phase 2 drugs, one Phase 1, six pre-clinical, and more than 20 discovery programs. In the field of inflammation, Galapagos made good progress in, and expanded, the GLPG0634 franchise with AbbVie. The Company announced an agreement with AbbVie to enlarge the Phase 2B program in rheumatoid arthritis, receiving an additional $20 million from AbbVie to compensate for the cost of inclusion of more patients. The study was enlarged to bring the number of patients per cohort in line with cohort sizes of competitor studies. Later in the year, Galapagos announced an agreement to include Crohn’s disease in the alliance; Galapagos will fund and run a Phase 2 study in Crohn’s disease, potentially enabling an immediate subsequent entry in Phase 3 in this indication and winning 2 years’ time in the development path to registration. In return for this, Galapagos is eligible to receive an additional $50 million fee upon successful achievement of pre-agreed criteria in the Phase 2 study in Crohn’s disease. Galapagos started the global Phase 2B program with GLPG0634 in patients with moderate to severe RA who do not respond to methotrexate (MTX). DARWIN 1 is a dose-range finding study in up to 595 patients on background treatment of MTX. DARWIN 2 is a dose-range finding study in up to 280 patients without MTX. Both studies are placebo-controlled for the first 12 weeks, with 12 more weeks of treatment after that to collect further safety data. DARWIN 3 is a long-term extension study to gather additional safety data. On 7 March 2014, Galapagos reported that DARWIN 1 remains on track to deliver topline 12 week safety and efficacy data by end 2014. Galapagos completed preparations in 2013 to start the Phase 2 study in Crohn’s disease with GLPG0634 in January 2014. This innovative study is designed to enroll up to 180 patients with Crohn’s disease, evaluating the induction of disease remission and exploring the early maintenance of its beneficial effects with up to 20 weeks of treatment. Patients will be recruited from 49 centers in Eastern and Western Europe. Furthermore, Galapagos initiated a Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept study with FFA2 inhibitor GLPG0974 in ulcerative colitis. Target FFA2 was identified by Galapagos as playing a key role in inflammation, and GLPG0974 has shown up to 90% inhibition of a relevant biomarker for FFA2 in Phase 1 studies. FFA2 is important for the migration of neutrophils, the first line of the body’s defense system. Neutrophils are overactive in ulcerative colitis patients, leading to inflammation and painful ulcers in the colon. GLPG0974 is aimed at reducing neutrophil migration. The placebo-controlled Proof-of-Concept study with GLPG0974 explores 200 mg BID dosing in 45 ulcerative colitis patients for 4 weeks in 16 centers in Belgium and Eastern 1 ’13 Group revenues comprise R&D revenues of €96.4 M and Services revenues of €63.2 M. ‘12 Group revenues comprise R&D revenues of €87.3 M, normalized Services revenues of €61.9 M and Basel revenues of €3.8 M. The Basel operations of BioFocus were discontinued in 2012. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 5 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Europe. Galapagos recently announced the completion of recruitment for the study, with topline efficacy and safety results expected in June 2014. The Company reported positive results with GLPG1205, a novel mode of action in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in the inflammation alliance with Janssen Pharmaceuticals NV (J&J). GLPG1205 demonstrated target engagement, a clean safety profile, and favorable drug-like properties. Galapagos is preparing plans for a Phase 2 study in IBD, to be filed by end 2014. In the course of 2013, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) initiated three patients studies with selective JAK1 inhibitor GSK2586184, formerly known as GLPG0778 and inlicensed from Galapagos in 2012. In February 2014, GSK disclosed to Galapagos that the dose-range finding Phase 2 study with up to 64 psoriasis patients on 12 weeks of treatment was completed and that topline results are expected in H1 2014. GSK further notified Galapagos that the Phase 2 study in lupus was stopped after a first planned interim analysis, due to a lack of effect, and that the exploratory Phase 1/2 study with up to 15 ulcerative colitis patients was put on hold. In cystic fibrosis (CF), Galapagos and AbbVie announced a global agreement to co-develop novel oral therapies to treat the main mutation affecting 70% of CF patients. Both companies contribute funding and science to the collaboration. Galapagos will lead the research up until completion of Phase 2, when AbbVie will lead the Phase 3 development and commercialization. Galapagos received a $45 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $360 million in success-based milestones, plus tiered double-digit royalties on global sales of approved drugs. Galapagos retains commercial rights in China and South Korea and co-promotion rights in the Benelux countries. Patients with CF have a genetic mutation affecting the flow of fluid through the lung and other organ membranes. The resulting build-up of mucus on the lining of the lungs creates an ideal environment for bacteria and other pathogens to thrive, resulting in severe lung infections and gradual decline in lung function, ultimately leading to death. CF patients have a life expectancy of 37 years. In order to treat CF patients with the most common mutation, the hypothesis is that both a corrector and potentiator are needed in combination to correct the defect. Galapagos selected GLPG1837 as pre-clinical candidate potentiator drug late in 2013 and is working toward selecting a pre-clinical candidate corrector drug by end 2014. Galapagos plans to enter Phase 1 with GLPG1837 by year end 2014, triggering a milestone payment from AbbVie. In the field of oncology, Galapagos announced the selection of GLPG1790, a pre-clinical candidate drug showing good activity against triple-negative breast cancer tumors in pre-clinical models. This compound is the first to target the ephrin tyrosine kinase receptor, which plays a key role in a number of cancers including melanoma, pancreatic, ovarian, prostatic, and colorectal cancers. In the field of osteoarthritis, Galapagos delivered novel molecules in the alliance with Servier, but, due to toxicity findings also stopped work on a pre-clinical candidate which had been slated to enter the clinic in 2013. The Flemish agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT) awarded Galapagos grants in 2013 for innovative research in anti-bacterials (€2.7 million) and IBD (€2.5 million). These grants facilitate investment in important programs and allow Galapagos to expand its research efforts in Mechelen, Belgium. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 6 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Galapagos progressed 23 discovery programs in 2013, most of which are based on novel proprietary targets discovered by the Company. Good performance of the service division The service division reported disappointing financial numbers for the first half in 2013, then improved its performance in the second half of the year. David Smith was appointed CEO Services in September. BioFocus announced an extension of the collaboration with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and signed agreements with Biogen Idec and Boehringer Ingelheim. Argenta signed a collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim and extended it drug discovery collaboration with Genentech for the fourth time. On 13 March 2014, Galapagos announced that Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. is to acquire the BioFocus and Argenta service division. Upon closing, Galapagos is to receive €129 million cash and is eligible to receive €5 million in earn-out payments when certain sales milestones are achieved after one year. Galapagos was approached by Charles River for the transaction and agreed to sell to strengthen the balance sheet for further investment in the Company’s promising pipeline. Personnel At the end of 2013, the total number of employees working within the Group amounted to 810. With the sale of the BioFocus and Argenta services division, the total number of employees within the Group will be reduced by half. Environment All companies of the Group continue to hold the necessary permits for their exploitation, and to respect the applicable environmental rules. Group financial results Revenues Galapagos’ revenues for 2013 amounted to €159.5 million, an increase of 4% compared to 2012 and equal to management guidance. The R&D division reported total revenues of €96.4 million, reflecting milestone achievements in the R&D alliances, €45 million in revenue recognition from the $150 million upfront and the $20 million extension AbbVie payments for GLPG0634, and €6.8 million in revenue recognition from the $45 million upfront from AbbVie for cystic fibrosis. The service division reported total external revenues of €63.2 million, an increase of 2% compared to €61.9 million last year on a normalized basis. Result The Group incurred a net loss in 2013 of €8.1 million, or €0.28 loss per share, compared to a net loss of €5.7 million, or €0.22 loss per share in 2012. The R&D division incurred a segment loss of €12.9 million in 2013, compared to a segment loss of €3.5 million last year. R&D expenses were €99.4 million, compared to €80.3 million last year. This planned increase was driven by the Phase 2B RA program and Phase 2 Crohn’s disease study for GLPG0634, together with other clinical studies to support the pipeline. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 7 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 The Service division reported a gross margin of 35.4% compared to 35.9% in 2012 on a normalized basis and a segment profit of €8.9 million, compared to €9.1 million on a normalized basis in 2012. General and administrative costs for the Group increased to €26.4 million, compared to €24.5 million in 2012. General and administrative expenses as a share of group revenues increased to 16.6% compared to 16.0% in 2012. Liquid assets position Cash balance was €141.5 million on 31 December 2013, the highest year end cash balance the Company has ever had. Including €6.0 million in alliance related receivables for which revenues were recorded in 2013 and for which payment is expected in Q1 2014, the Company’s liquid asset position was €147.5 million at year end 2013, compared to €115.4 million at year end 2012. In addition, Galapagos’ balance sheet holds a receivable from the French government (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche)2 amounting to €33 million, payable in four yearly tranches starting mid-2014. Payment of €8.6 million of this is expected in 2014, with equal tranches expected annually subsequent to that for three more years. Outlook for 2014 The Phase 2B clinical program for GLPG0634 in RA is on track to deliver the 12 week topline efficacy and safety data for DARWIN 1 in late 2014. Further topline results are expected from GSK’s Phase 2 psoriasis study with GSK2586184 as well as Galapagos’ Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept study with GLPG0974 in ulcerative colitis. The Company expects to make significant progress in both partnered and non-partnered R&D programs as the pipeline continues to mature across a broad range of therapeutic areas, resulting in multiple additional clinical and pre-clinical stage programs by end 2014. Following the announced transaction with Charles River for the sale of the BioFocus and Argenta service operations, Galapagos management guided for €125 million in Group revenues in 2014 and a cash balance of €170 million at year end 2014. 2. OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT, RESULT AND POSITION OF GALAPAGOS NV Chapter 2 only concerns the non-consolidated statutory results of Galapagos NV. These results are part of the consolidated results as discussed above. Galapagos NV’s operating income in 2013 amounted to €152.0 million compared to €133.7 million in 2012. This increase is mainly due to increased internally generated intangible assets – being capitalized R&D expenses – which contributed €16.0 million more to operating income than in previous year. The other operating income amounts to €13.2 million, including €2.0 million in grants recognized for R&D projects, €5.0 million in recharges to subsidiaries and €4.1 million recognized in tax incentives for investments in intangible fixed assets. The operating costs of 2013 amounted to €167.7 million compared to €133.7 million in 2012. Material purchases remained flat at €3.4 million. Services and other goods increased to €78.8 million compared to €71.3 million in 2012, mainly as a result of increased outsourcing for development of our products. Personnel costs in 2013 amounted to €12.1 million compared to €11.8 million in 2012. The number of employees at Galapagos NV at the end of 2013 amounted to 128. 2 Crédit d’Impôt Recherche refers to an innovation incentive system underwritten by the French government s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 8 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Depreciation increased to €66.8 million in 2013, compared to €45.5 million in 2012. This is due to amortization booked on the internally generated intangible assets capitalized in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Galapagos NV’s 2013 financial income decreased to €1.9 million compared to €3.1 million in 2012. The high balance in previous year can mainly be explained by realized exchange rate gains on the $150 million upfront payment received from AbbVie in 2012. Financial costs amounted to €1.6 million compared to €0.9 million in 2012. This is mainly due to realized exchange rate losses on the AbbVie payments received in 2013 ($20 million for GLPG0634 RA and $45 million for cystic fibrosis). Extraordinary costs amount to €1.0 million in 2013, compared to €29.5 million in 2012, of which €28.4 million was related to the extraordinary write-off of capitalized R&D costs with regard to alliances which ended or programs which were placed on hold. Galapagos NV capitalizes its incurred R&D expenses to the extent that the costs capitalized do not exceed a prudent estimate of their value in use or their future economic benefits for the entity. The ability to recover the capitalized amounts takes into account assumptions (i.e. future peak sales, market share, sales price, attrition rates regarding the successful completion of the different R&D phases) which have a highly judgmental nature and depend on the outcome of uncertain factors which are beyond the control of the entity (i.e. test results). The achievement of these assumptions is critical and may impact the recoverability of the amounts capitalized. Capitalized R&D expenses amount to €119.8 million compared to €90.4 million last year. Investments in fixed assets in 2013 totaled €2.2 million, excluding the internally generated assets. They consist mainly of new lab equipment, as well as investments in intangible assets, being software development for compound inventory. Galapagos NV’s cash position at the end of 2013 amounted to €127.1 million. The non-consolidated annual accounts of Galapagos NV which we submit for your approval were prepared in accordance with Belgian accounting rules as well as with the legal and statutory requirements. They show a negative result. The financial year 2013 closed with a loss of €16.4 million compared to a loss of €27.2 million in 2012. The result of Galapagos NV is largely affected by the fact that, as from financial year 2010, Galapagos NV capitalizes some of its R&D expenses and revenues that are eligible for such capitalization under Belgian GAAP. This capitalization positively impacted the net result of Galapagos NV by €5.4 million in 2013, compared to a negative impact of €10.4 million in 2012. In 2013, neither Galapagos NV nor its affiliates made direct or active use of financial instruments such as hedging. 3. ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT For a description of Galapagos’ Research & Development activities in 2013, we refer to what is set forth above in section 1, topic “R&D division delivers strong Phase 2 pipeline, with substantial progress in earlier stage programs.” s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 9 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 4.

Shares and rights attached to the shares Of the 29,794,046 shares of Galapagos NV outstanding at the end of 2013, 538,696 were registered shares, 29,254,590 shares were dematerialized shares and 760 shares were bearer shares. All shares are issued and fully paid up and are of the same class. Each share (i) entitles its holder to one vote at the Shareholders’ Meetings; (ii) represents an identical fraction of the capital and has the same rights and obligations and participates equally in the profit of Galapagos NV; and (iii) gives its holder a preferential subscription right to subscribe to new shares, convertible bonds or warrants in proportion to the part of the share capital represented by the shares already held. The preferential subscription right can be restricted or cancelled by a resolution approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting, or by the Board of Directors subject to an authorization of the Shareholders’ Meeting, in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Companies Code and Galapagos NV’s articles of association. Authorized capital In accordance with the articles of association, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of Galapagos NV authorized the Board of Directors to increase the share capital of the Company, in one or several times, and under certain conditions set forth in extenso in the articles of association of Galapagos NV. This authorization was renewed and is valid for a period of five years from the date of this renewal, i.e. 23 May 2011. The Board of Directors may increase the share capital of Galapagos NV within the framework of the authorized capital for an amount of up to €142,590,770.44. In 2013, Galapagos s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 10 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 NV’s Board of Directors made use of the right to increase the capital in the framework of the authorized capital on three occasions: (1) on 29 April 2013, in connection with a private placement in the framework of which 2,696,831 new shares were issued for a share capital increase of €14,589,855.71 (plus issuance premium of €39,346,764.29); (2) on 15 May 2013, in connection with the issuance of Warrant Plan 2013 under which a maximum of 602,790 new shares can be issued for a total maximum capital increase of €3,261,093.90 (plus issuance premium); and (3) on 18 September 2013, in connection with the issuance of Warrant Plan 2013 (B) under which a maximum of 75,000 new shares can be issued for a total maximum capital increase of €405,750.00 (plus issuance premium). On 31 December 2013, an amount of €121,731,103.43 still remained available under the authorized capital. When increasing the share capital within the limits of the authorized capital, the Board of Directors may, in Galapagos NV’s interest, restrict or cancel the shareholders’ preferential subscription rights, even if such restriction or cancellation is made for the benefit of one or more specific persons other than the employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. Changes in share capital In accordance with the Belgian Companies Code, Galapagos NV may increase or decrease its capital by decision of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting taken with a majority of 75% of the votes cast, at a meeting where at least 50% of the share capital of Galapagos NV is present or represented. If the attendance quorum of 50% is not met, a new Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting must be convened at which the shareholders may decide on the agenda items, irrespective of the percentage of share capital present or represented at such meeting. In this respect, there are no conditions imposed by the Company’s articles of association that are more stringent than those required by law. Within the framework of the powers granted to it under the authorized capital, the Board of Directors may also increase Galapagos NV’s capital as specified in its articles of association. Purchase and sale of own shares At the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of 23 May 2011, the Board of Directors was authorized to approve the acquisition, subject to the provisions of the Belgian Companies Code, of Galapagos NV’s own shares or profit sharing certificates or certificates and to dispose thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Belgian Companies Code, should such acquisition be necessary to avoid a serious and imminent harm to Galapagos NV. This authorization was granted for a period of three years from the publication of the aforementioned resolution in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette (i.e. 10 June 2011). This authorization is also applicable to the acquisition of shares of Galapagos NV by its affiliates. The conditions for the purchase and sale of own shares are set forth in extenso in the articles of association of Galapagos NV. On 31 December 2013, neither Galapagos NV nor any subsidiary of Galapagos NV held any shares in Galapagos NV nor did any third party hold any shares in Galapagos NV on their behalf. Anti-takeover provisions in Galapagos NV’s articles of association The Board of Directors is expressly authorized during a period of three years as of the date of the General Shareholders’ Meeting which granted this authorization, i.e. 23 May 2011, to increase Galapagos NV’s share capital within the context of the authorized capital by contributions in kind or in cash with restriction or cancellation of the shareholders’ preferential subscription rights, even after the FSMA has notified Galapagos NV of a public take-over offer for the Company’s shares, s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 11 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 provided that the relevant provisions of the Belgian Companies Code are complied with, including that the number of shares issued under such capital increase does not exceed 10% of the shares issued by Galapagos NV prior to such capital increase. The authorization referred to above may be renewed. The articles of association explicitly authorize the Board of Directors to acquire and dispose of any shares of Galapagos NV, without prior approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting, if this is necessary to avoid a serious and imminent harm to the Company. This authorization was granted for a period of three years from the publication of such decision in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette (i.e. 10 June 2011). This authorization applies under the same conditions to the acquisition of the shares of Galapagos NV by its subsidiaries. Anti-takeover provisions under Belgian laws Under Belgian law, public takeover bids for all the outstanding voting securities issued by the issuer are subject to the supervision of the FSMA. If the latter determines that a takeover violates Belgian law, it may lead to suspension of the exercise of the rights attached to any shares that were acquired in connection with the envisaged takeover. Pursuant to the Belgian law of 1 April 2007 on public takeovers, a mandatory takeover bid must be made when, as a result of its own acquisition or the acquisition by persons acting in concert with it, a person owns, directly or indirectly, more than 30% of the securities with voting rights in a company with registered office in Belgium whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated or recognized market. The acquirer must offer to all other shareholders the opportunity to sell their shares at the highest of (i) the highest price offered by the acquirer for shares of the issuer during the 12 months preceding the announcement of the bid or (ii) the weighted average price of the shares on the most liquid market of the last 30 calendar days prior to the date on which the obligation of the acquirer to offer the takeover of the shares of other shareholders starts. Change of the articles of association Pursuant to the Belgian Companies Code, any amendment to the articles of association such as an increase or decrease in the capital of Galapagos NV, and certain other matters such as the approval of the dissolution, merger or de-merger of Galapagos NV may only be authorized with the approval of at least 75% of the votes validly cast at an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting where at least 50% of Galapagos NV’s share capital is present or represented. If the attendance quorum of 50% is not met, a new Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting must be convened at which the shareholders may decide on the agenda items, irrespective of the percentage of share capital present or represented at such meeting. Agreements with and between Shareholders On the date of this report, Galapagos NV had no knowledge of the existence of any shareholders’ agreements between Galapagos’ shareholders. Throughout 2013 there were no lock-up agreements in effect between the Company and any of its shareholders.

RISK FACTORS Risk management is embedded in our strategy and is considered important for achieving our operational targets (see section 1, topic ‘Outlook 2014’). To safeguard the proper implementation and execution of the Group’s strategy, we have an internal risk management and control system. The Board of Directors has delegated an active role to the Audit Committee members for designing, implementing and operating the Company’s internal risk management and control systems. The purpose of these systems is to manage in an effective and efficient manner the significant risks to which the Company is exposed. The internal control system is designed to ensure: • • the careful monitoring of the effectiveness of our strategy the Company’s continuity and sustainability, through, for instance, consistent accounting, reliable financial reporting and compliance with laws and regulations • our focus on the most efficient and effective way to conduct our business We have defined our risk tolerance on a number of internal and external factors including: • business performance measures; operational and net profitability • financial strength in the long run, represented by revenue growth and a solid balance sheet • liquidity in the short run; cash • scientific risks and opportunities • dependence on our alliance partners • compliance with relevant rules and regulations • reputation The identification and analysis of risks is an ongoing process that is naturally a critical component of internal control. On the basis of these and the Company’s risk tolerance, the key controls within the Company will be registered and the effectiveness will be monitored. If the assessment shows the necessity to modify the controls we will do so. This could be the situation if the external environment changes, or the laws or regulations or the strategy of the Company change. Scientific risks The Group operates adequate standard operating procedures to secure the integrity and protection of its research and development activities and results, and the optimum allocation of its R&D budgets. The progress of the most important research and development programs is continuously monitored by the Executive Committee; they are discussed with the Board at least once per quarter, and Board members with expertise in clinical and scientific matters occasionally attend meetings with scientific staff to discuss and assess such programs. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 13 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Reliance on key staff and management Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel on acceptable terms is limited by the competition for qualified personnel. The absence of professionals could have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Adequate remuneration and incentive schemes and the sharing of the Company’s knowledge amongst key employees mitigate this risk. In the recent past, Galapagos has continued to be successful in attracting and retaining qualified employees. Operational risk • This risk can take many forms including business interruption, inappropriate behavior, lack of performance. This risk has a high potential impact, but is mitigated by policies and procedures such as surveillance of the buildings, annual appraisals and bonuses, and monthly management meetings. • Internal and external IT systems Continuing an uninterrupted performance of our IT system is critical to the success of our business strategy and operations. A recovery plan for data has been implemented, as well as a system for interception of power failures. Fire walls and virus scanners provide an additional and adequate protection. The Company’s personnel should adhere to continuity plans and procedures regarding access rights and installation of different programs. Safety risk: handling materials potentially hazardous to health The very limited use of hazardous materials, the existence of stringent health and safety operation procedures, and regular inspections and safety days significantly decrease the potential impact as well as the estimated likelihood of the risk. Furthermore, the Group employs quality & environmental health and safety managers who closely monitor laboratory safety and continuously seek to improve quality and safety conditions. Finance risk • Accounting estimates – impairment of goodwill The Group constantly uses estimates and assumptions concerning the future, especially when performing impairment tests on goodwill and (in)tangible assets. These tests are performed on a realistic and regular basis. • Credit risk Credit risk represents the risk of financial loss caused by default of the counterparty. This risk is within acceptable boundaries as clients are major, well-respected, creditworthy, international pharmaceutical companies, research foundations, and biotech companies. • Taxation The Company may incur unexpected tax charges, including penalties, due to the failure of tax planning or due to the challenge by tax authorities on the basis of transfer pricing. Any changes to Belgian and international taxation legislation or the interpretation of such legislation by tax s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 14 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 authorities may influence the Group’s activities, financial situation and results. Such potential changes and their impact are monitored carefully by management and its advisors. • Changes in accounting standards Any changes to the accounting standards may influence the Group’s financial situation and results. Here as well, such potential changes and their impact are carefully monitored. • Financial and liquidity risk Liquidity risk represents the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company monitors its cash on a regular basis by means of cash forecasts and sensitivity analyses. The Group’s net operating cash flow after investments was negative in 2013 (cash burn) as opposed to a positive cash flow in 2012, which was mainly due to the $150 million upfront payment received from AbbVie in 2012. To fund its operations, research activities, and acquisitions, the Group may need additional cash, which may not be available on acceptable terms when required, if at all. At the moment the Group has no financial debt except limited financial lease obligations. • Foreign exchange risk As a large part of the revenues and costs are denominated in currencies other than the Euro, our functional currency, the Company has considerable potential exposure to foreign currency fluctuation. The effect of these fluctuations is recorded in the profit & loss statement or in the consolidated equity, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. The Company makes efforts to limit the exposure by closing contracts in local currencies and by matching revenues and costs in a foreign currency. In order to further reduce this risk, Galapagos implemented a netting system within the group in the course of 2012, which restrains intra-group payments between entities with a different functional currency. Galapagos annually establishes a detailed budget that is submitted to the Board of Directors for review and approval. The Group’s performance compared to the budget is continuously monitored by the Executive Committee and is discussed with the Board at least once per quarter. For the establishment of its financial information, the Group has processes and methods in place that enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements for its annual and mid-year reporting, and more often if required. The Group’s management reporting systems – which include an advanced integrated ERP system – secure the generation of consistent financial and operational information, allowing management to follow-up the Group’s performance on a daily basis. Intellectual property risk The Company’s commercial success depends in part on the ability to obtain, maintain and enforce adequate protection of the intellectual property rights, including patents, in technologies and products and this in a large geographical zone. The development of grantable patents is not obvious. The possession of patents increases the revenues and is an important tool when negotiating with potential partners. The outcome of legal disputes concerning patent infringement is difficult to predict. Legal proceedings over IP rights can be time consuming and expensive and should be avoided by constant s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 15 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 monitoring of published patents and patent applications. Galapagos endeavors to protect its proprietary technologies and know-how by entering into confidentiality and proprietary information agreements with employees and partners, and by setting up special procedures (e.g. with respect to the handling of the laboratory books). Future changes in IP law also can substantially influence the Company’s operations. Market risk • Possible volatility share price The market price of the shares might be affected by a variety of factors outside management control, such as the global economic situation, the business development of competitors, sector mergers and acquisitions; it is difficult to mitigate this risk. • Economic risk due to failure in confidence General public confidence about future economic conditions or performance of Galapagos or its suppliers or customers may impact the ability or willingness of others to trade with the Company. • Dilution through exercise of warrant plans The exercise of existing warrants can significantly increase the number of shares. • Inability to distribute dividends The Group has a limited operating history and future profitability cannot be guaranteed. Galapagos NV has significant losses carried-forward and will thus not be able to distribute dividends in the near future. This can cause people to refrain from investing in the Company’s stock. • Acquisition / integration risk The acquisition and integration of other companies, as part of the Company’s strategy to expand its business through acquisition of other businesses, present challenges to Galapagos’ personnel and operations. Specific risks are unanticipated costs, loss of key personnel, the inability to obtain the expected benefits and synergies of the merger. Galapagos makes sure that every acquisition is preceded by a thorough due diligence and sets up systems that allow a smooth integration of the acquired businesses and teams. • Reputational damage High ethical standards are maintained throughout the entire organization at all levels. Laws and guidelines are complied with. Interrupted product supply - loss of key suppliers A reliable supply of materials is required in order to eliminate production delays. Most goods and services are provided by several different suppliers, which mitigates the risk of loss of key suppliers. Expanding the suppliers’ network can be time consuming as all source suppliers are subject to rigorous ethical and quality control standards. The suppliers should perform as contractually required or expected. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 16 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Reliance on key clients Certain relationships represent significant sources of revenues. Loss or deterioration of these relationships can significantly impact the results of the Group. The weakness of the global economy and the ongoing financial crisis has adversely affected businesses. This risk can be mitigated through multiple alliances with different partners, and through strengthening relationships with existing clients. Competition: organizations providing similar contract research – price pressure in the contract research market The Group faces competition from contract research companies that may bring products and services to the market which are more competitive or affordable and which might hurt the position of the service operations. Legal risks • Possible litigations and claims – product liability Product liability cases and claims may give rise to adverse regulatory action and/or negative market perception of the Company and its products. In most cases damages can be controlled. The likelihood of claims increases with the increase in size and visibility of the Company. The company carries appropriate insurance policies to cover its risks, including for its clinical trials. • Failure to comply with laws and regulations – penalties or cease operations The industry in which the Company operates is strictly regulated. If the Company fails to meet strict regulatory requirements, the Company may be required to pay penalties or even to close down certain facilities. • Change in alliance strategy Current or prospective licensees and partners may use or develop alternative strategies, technologies or competing products, independently or in collaboration with others. This strategic shift in business focus can seriously impact the Company’s results. • Compliance with Corporate Governance Galapagos has always in all material respects been compliant with the Corporate Governance Code. Members of the Executive Committee and of the Board are expected to conduct their duties according to the highest ethical and professional business standards. Product development Pre-clinical testing, clinical research and regulatory approval of a pharmaceutical or medical product is a very intensive and costly process, and is subject to a high degree of failure in every phase. In some cases regulatory approval might not be received, or might be restricted to certain geographical regions or indications, or later withdrawn or significantly delayed, which could impact the receipt of product revenues, if any. General statement about Galapagos Group risks According to our current assessment we consider the risks to be manageable and the going concern of the Company not to be endangered at the time of the current report. Assuming no further deterioration of the global business, financial and s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 17 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 regulatory environment, the Group considers itself well prepared to meet all future challenges. 6.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2014. Charles River acquires all service operations of BioFocus and Argenta in the UK and the Netherlands. The acquisition includes all client contracts, order pipeline, premises, equipment, and further obligations of BioFocus and Argenta. All employees of BioFocus and Argenta will move into Charles River organization upon completion of the transaction. Charles River agrees to pay Galapagos immediate cash consideration of €129 million. Upon achievement of a revenue target 12 months after transaction closing, Galapagos will be eligible to receive an earn-out payment of €5 million. The legal entities to be sold as part of this transaction are BioFocus DPI Ltd., BioFocus DPI (Holdings) Ltd., Argenta Discovery 2009 Ltd. and Cangenix Ltd. Post-transaction, Galapagos NV will still have the following dormant entities from its service business division: BioFocus DPI AG, BioFocus DPI LLC, BioFocus Inc., Xenometrix Inc. and Discovery Partners International GmbH. The liquidation of these entities should be completed in 2014 and 2015. The sold service division represents the following contribution for Galapagos in 2013: - net profit from the sold service operations of €8.1 million in 2013 - net assets of the sold service division of €70.7 million at 31 December 2013, including €83.4 million of assets and €12.7 million of liabilities. • 18 March: Galapagos to present favourable pre-clinical data on GLPG1790, a selective ephrin receptor kinase inhibitor, at AACR in San Diego. • 21 March: Euronext Amsterdam to become Market Reference for Galapagos. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 18 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 7. GOING CONCERN AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The 2013 consolidated results are negative for Galapagos, and the balance sheet shows a loss carry-over. The Board has examined the statements and accounting standards. Taking into account the solid cash position, in particular after the conclusion of the RA and CF deals with AbbVie in 2012 and 2013, the divestment of the service division for a total cash consideration of €134 million (of which €129 million in cash and €5 million potential earn-out payments), and the favorable outlook of developments of Galapagos NV’s drug discovery activities and its subsidiaries’ activities including GLPG0634, the Board is of the opinion that it can submit the annual accounts on an ongoing concern basis. The Board is also of the opinion that additional financing could be obtained, if required. Whilst Galapagos NV’s cash position is sufficient for the Company’s immediate and midterm needs, the Board points out that if the R&D activities continue to go well, Galapagos NV may seek additional funding to support the continuing development of its products or to be able to execute other business opportunities. 8. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 8.1. General Galapagos uses the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2009 (which can be found on www.corporategovernancecommittee.be) as reference code. Galapagos NV’s Board of Directors approved a Corporate Governance Charter. The Charter, which is available on the Company’s website, is applicable in addition to the law, the Company’s articles of association and the corporate governance provisions included in the Belgian Companies Code and the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2009. The Company’s Corporate Governance Charter includes the following specific rules and charters: • Charter of the Board of Directors • Charter of the Audit Committee • Charter of the Nomination- and Remuneration Committee • Charter of the Executive Committee • Dealing Charter (which provides procedures and guidelines to prevent abuse of insider knowledge and to prevent insider trading and market manipulation). The Board of Directors intends to comply with the provisions of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code at all times. Nevertheless, it is possible not to comply with certain corporate governance provisions when the specific circumstances are taken into account. In such cases, which are mentioned in this chapter, the Company applies the “comply or explain” principle. 8.2. Board of Directors Galapagos NV’s Board of Directors consists of minimum five and maximum nine members, including the Chairman and the CEO. The Chairman is a non-executive Director and does not hold the office of CEO. The Board of Directors consists of at least three independent Directors. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 19 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Except for Mr Onno van de Stolpe, all Board members are non-executive Directors. In 2013, the following persons were members of the Board: Dr Raj Parekh (Chairman), Ir Onno van de Stolpe (CEO), Dr Harrold van Barlingen, Mr Ferdinand Verdonck (until 26 February 2013), Dr Werner Cautreels, Mr Howard Rowe, Dr Vicki Sato and Ms Katrine Bosley (as from 27 February 2013); the latter five Directors were appointed as independent Directors within the meaning of article 526ter of the Belgian Companies Code. The Board’s role is to pursue the long-term success of the Company by assuming the authority and responsibility of the Board set out in Belgian Corporate law and by providing entrepreneurial leadership and enabling risks to be assessed and managed. The activities exercised and offices held by each of the Directors reflect the expertise and experience of each of them. In 2013, the Board of Directors held 4 regular meetings, 8 meetings by telephone conference to discuss specific matters and 3 meetings in the presence of a notary (relating to the private placement of 29 April 2013, the issuance of the Warrant Plan 2013 and the issuance of warrant plan 2013 (B)). The attendance rate (in person or by written proxy to a fellow Director) for the Board members in function at 31 December 2013 was as follows: Dr Parekh 100%, Mr Van de Stolpe 100%, Dr Van Barlingen 93%, Mr Rowe 100%, Dr Cautreels 100%, Dr Sato 93% and Ms Bosley 92%. The overall attendance rate was 97%. In addition, certain Board members (including Dr Cautreels and Dr Sato) also attended a number of review meetings with scientific staff of the Group. The Board of Directors acts as a collegial body. The Company does not have a formalized process in place to evaluate the Board, its Committees and its individual Directors; the Board is of the opinion that such evaluation can occur on an ongoing and informal basis within the framework of the meetings of the Board and its Committees. Galapagos currently complies with the Law of 28 July 2011 with respect to gender diversification in the Board of Directors, and the Board will continue to monitor this compliance in the future. 8.3. Committees The Board of Directors has installed a Nomination and Remuneration Committee, an Audit Committee and an Executive Committee. At the end of 2013, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee consisted of the following three non-executive Directors: Dr Parekh (Chairman), Dr Sato and Ms Bosley, the majority of whom are independent Directors. The Committee has the necessary expertise in the area of remuneration policy. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s role is twofold: providing recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the remuneration policy of Galapagos and the remuneration of Directors and members of the Executive Committee, and selecting the appropriate candidates and making recommendations to the Board of Directors in relation to the appointment of Directors and members of the Executive Committee. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 20 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 The Nomination and Remuneration Committee meets at least twice per year. In 2013, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee made recommendations on 4 occasions, dealing with matters including grants of warrants and bonuses, the appointment of Mr David Smith as CEO of the service division, the review of Galapagos’ remuneration policy and salary increases. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee acts as a collegial body. The overall attendance (present or represented) at the Nomination and Remuneration Committee meetings in 2013 was 100%. The CEO attended the meetings of this Committee when the remuneration of the other members of the Executive Committee was discussed. At the end of 2013, the Audit Committee consisted of the following three Directors: Dr Cautreels (Chairman), Dr Van Barlingen and Mr Rowe. All members of the Audit Committee are non-executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent. The Chairman is an independent non-executive Director and has extensive experience in financial matters (including general accounting and financial reporting) and in matters of audit, internal control and risk control. The other members have extensive experience in these matters as well. The role of the Audit Committee is to follow up on financial reporting and verification of financial data, verify and follow up on the internal control mechanisms, evaluate and verify the effectiveness of the risk assessment systems, and follow up on the internal and external audit activities. In 2013, the Audit Committee held 4 meetings, in which it dealt with matters including audit review, risk management and the ERP system. The Audit Committee acts as a collegial body. The overall attendance (present or represented) at the Audit Committee meetings in 2013 was 100%. Some of the meetings were attended by the Statutory Auditor. The tasks of the Executive Committee include the following matters: the research, identification and development of strategic possibilities and proposals which may contribute to Galapagos’ development in general, the drafting and development of policy guidelines to be approved by the Board of Directors, Galapagos’ management through, among other things, the implementation of policy guidelines, the supervision of the performance of the business in comparison with the strategic goals, plans and budgets, and the support of the CEO with the day-to-day management of Galapagos. On 31 December 2013, the Executive Committee consisted of five people: Mr Van de Stolpe (CEO, also executive Director), Dr Andre Hoekema (Senior Vice President, Corporate Development), Dr Piet Wigerinck (Chief Scientific Officer), Mr Guillaume Jetten (CFO) and Mr David Smith (CEO, Galapagos Services). The Executive Committee meets regularly, and in principle once per month. 8.4. Remuneration report 8.4.1 Procedure for establishing the remuneration policy and setting the remuneration for members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee The procedure for establishing the remuneration policy and setting remuneration for members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee is determined by the Board of Directors on the basis of proposals from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, taking into account relevant benchmarks from the biotechnology industry and, for the members s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 21 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 of the Executive Committee, also the Group’s performance rating system. The remuneration of the members of the Board and the grant of warrants to members of the Board are submitted by the Board for approval to the General Shareholders’ Meeting, and are only implemented after such approval. The fixed and variable remuneration of the CEO (who is a member of the Board) is established by the Board of Directors based upon an authorization from the General Shareholders’ Meeting. The fixed and variable remuneration of, and grant of warrants to, the other members of the Executive Committee is established by the Board of Directors. 8.4.2 Remuneration policy a) Principles The objective of Galapagos’ remuneration policy is to attract, motivate and retain the qualified and expert individuals that the Group needs in order to achieve its strategic and operational objectives. In light of the remuneration policy, the structure of the remuneration package for the Executive Committee is designed to balance short-term operational performance with the long-term objective of creating sustainable value within the Group, while taking into account the interests of all stakeholders. The remuneration of the non-executive Directors consists of a fixed annual amount, irrespective of the number of Board meetings that are held during the year, with a correction principle pursuant to which, in the event a Director’s presence rate at Board meetings is below 75%, the annual remuneration will be proportionally decreased. The remuneration of the non- executive Directors does not contain a variable part. The Board fees are paid in quarterly installments at the end of each calendar quarter. The remuneration of the CEO (who is an executive Director) and of the other members of the Executive Committee consists of a fixed amount and of a variable part (bonus). Remuneration increases and bonuses are merit-driven and based on the Group’s performance rating system that is based on individual performance (including exceptional deliverables) in combination with the overall performance of the Group, compared to the level of achievement of individual and corporate objectives that are established annually. The corporate objectives and the CEO’s objectives are established annually by the Board of Directors, and the objectives of the other members of the Executive Committee are established annually by the CEO and are in relation to the corporate objectives set by the Board. For 2013 the corporate objectives included elements of revenue, operating profitability, clinical trial progression and business development; all of these objectives were considered to be of equal importance. The level of achievement of the objectives for the CEO is reviewed at the end of each year by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and discussed and finally established by the Board, and the level of achievement of the objectives of the other members of the Executive Committee is assessed by the CEO at the end of the year in connection with appraisal discussions, discussed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and finally established by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the rules of the Senior Management Bonus Scheme established in 2006, 50% of the bonus is paid immediately around year-end and the payment of the other 50% is deferred for three years. The deferred 50% component is dependent on the Company’s share price change relative to the Next Biotech Index (which tracks the Company’s peers). The s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 22 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Company’s share price and the Next Biotech Index at the start and end of the 3-year period is calculated by the average price over the preceding and last month of the 3-year period, respectively. • If the Company’s share price change is better than or equal to the change in the Next Biotech Index, the deferred bonus will be adjusted by the share price increase/decrease and paid out. • If the Company’s share price change is up to 10% worse than the change in the Next Biotech Index, 50% of the deferred bonus will be adjusted by the share price increase/decrease and paid out, and the remainder will be forfeited. • If the Company’s share price change is more than 10% worse than the change in the Next Biotech Index the deferred bonus will be forfeited. To be entitled to any deferred payment under the bonus scheme the beneficiary must still be in the Company’s employ. In addition, exceptional special bonuses, outside the scope of the regular bonus schemes, can be considered by the Board upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in the event of and for exceptional achievements. b) Relative importance of the various components The CEO’s bonus under the Senior Management Bonus Scheme can be maximum 100% of the fixed part of his annual remuneration of the year for which the bonus is awarded. The aggregate bonuses of the other members of the Executive Committee under the Senior Management Bonus Scheme can be maximum 60% of the total amount of the fixed part of their aggregate annual remuneration of the year for which the bonus is awarded. In addition, the CEO and/or the other members of the Executive Committee enjoy a number of benefits such as pension payments, insurances and other fringe benefits, the monetary value of which is, however, limited. c) Performance-related premiums in shares, options or other rights to acquire shares The Company does not provide for any performance-related premiums in shares, options or other rights to acquire shares. The warrants granted to members of the Board of Directors (including the CEO) are not considered as a (performance- related or otherwise) variable remuneration as defined by the Belgian Companies Code. d) Information on the remuneration policy for the next two financial years The Company currently has no plans to substantially deviate from the remuneration policy used in 2013 and the years before, as described above, in the next two financial years. 8.4.3 Remuneration of non-executive Directors Pursuant to the decision of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 30 April 2013, the total maximum amount of the annual remuneration for all Directors together (other than Dr Parekh and the CEO) for the exercise of their mandate as a Director of the Company is fixed, on an aggregate basis, at €200,000 (plus expenses). The same Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting granted a power of attorney to the Board to determine the remuneration of the individual Board members within the limits of said aggregate amount. Pursuant to this power of attorney, the Board determined, upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the allocation of the aggregate annual remuneration for Directors as follows: (a) remuneration for non-executive directors who do not represent a shareholder (Dr Van Barlingen and Mr Rowe): €20,000; (b) remuneration for non-EU-based Directors (who do not represent a shareholder) and/or for s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 23 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Directors who actively and on a regular basis provide independent clinical, scientific and/or transactional advice to the Board of Directors (Dr Cautreels, Dr Sato and Ms Bosley): €40,000; (c) additional remuneration for the chairman of the Audit Committee (Dr Cautreels): €5,000. The aforementioned levels of remuneration are a continuation of the fees as paid in previous years. In the event a Director has a presence rate at Board meetings that is below 75%, the amounts referred to above are proportionally decreased. Directors representing a shareholder in the Board of Directors would only receive reimbursement of the expenses incurred for participating in the Board of Directors (there were no such Directors in 2013). The remuneration of the non-executive Directors does not contain a variable part; hence no performance criteria apply to the remuneration of the non-executive Directors. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dr Parekh, does not receive remuneration like the other Directors. However, a consultancy contract was made with him several years ago, under which he receives an annual fee of £50,000 as compensation for giving strategic advice. The Board of Directors resolved to issue the Warrant Plan 2013 for the benefit of the Directors and three independent consultants of Galapagos NV, and of employees of the Group. In accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 30 April 2013, the following amount of warrants were offered under such Plan to the non-executive Directors: Ms Bosley: 7,500 warrants; Dr Parekh: 5,400 warrants; Dr Cautreels: 3,780 warrants; and Dr van Barlingen, Mr Rowe and Dr Sato: each 2,520 warrants. All Directors accepted the warrants. These warrants have a term of eight years. The exercise price of the warrants is €19.38. As regards the Directors, the warrants vest over a period of 36 months at a rate of 1/36th per month. The warrants cannot be transferred and cannot be exercised prior to the end of the third calendar year following the year of the grant. The Board of Directors does not consider these warrants as variable remuneration as defined by the Belgian Companies Code as they are not subject to any performance-related criteria. The Board of Directors points out that provision 7.7 of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code 2009 stipulates that non- executive Directors should not be entitled to performance-related remuneration such as stock-related long-term incentive schemes. In deviation to this provision, the Board of Directors has decided to grant warrants to non-executive Directors. This way, the Company has additional possibilities to attract competent non-executive Directors and to offer them an attractive additional remuneration that does not affect the cash position of the Company. Furthermore, the grant of warrants is a commonly used method in the sector in which the Company operates. Without this possibility, the Company would be confronted with a considerable disadvantage compared to competitors who do offer stock-related incentive schemes to their non-executive Directors. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the granting of warrants has no negative impact on the function of the non-executive Directors. Except as set forth above, there are no other benefits granted to the non-executive Directors. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 24 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 8.4.4 Remuneration of members of the Executive Committee that are also a member of the Board of Directors Mr Van de Stolpe is an executive member of the Board of Directors. As managing Director and CEO, he acts as Chairman of the Executive Committee. Mr Van de Stolpe does not receive any specific or additional remuneration for his work on the Board of Directors, as this is part of his total remuneration package in his capacity as member of the Executive Committee. 8.4.5 Criteria and methods to evaluate performance of the CEO and the members of the Executive Committee in connection with their performance-based remuneration The executive Director (CEO) and the members of the Executive Committee are eligible for performance-based remuneration (bonus). The level of the achieved bonus is established annually by the Board of Directors on the basis of proposals from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (whose proposals are based on recommendations by the CEO for the other members of the Executive Committee). The award of a bonus is merit-driven and based on the Group’s performance rating system that is based on annual individual performance (including exceptional deliverables) in combination with the overall performance of the Group, compared to the level of achievement of individual and corporate objectives that are established annually. The corporate objectives and the CEO’s objectives are established annually by the Board of Directors, and the objectives of the other members of the Executive Committee are established annually by the CEO. For 2013 the corporate objectives included elements of revenue, operating profitability, clinical trial progression and business development; all of these objectives were considered to be of equal importance. Each of the corporate objectives is clear and measurable so that it is easy to determine whether or not a specific objective has been achieved or not. 8.4.6 Gross remuneration of the CEO (executive Director, Chairman of the Executive Committee) (Mr Van de Stolpe) for financial year 2013 a) Base salary (fixed): €414,376. b) Variable remuneration (bonus): given the level of achievement of the criteria from the Senior Management Bonus Scheme to be entitled to a bonus (i.e. the corporate objectives for 2013), a bonus of €325,741 (i.e. 75% of the 2013 base salary) was awarded over 2013 of which 50% was paid early January 2014, and the other 50% was deferred for 3 years. The value of the 50% deferred part of the bonus awarded over 2010 was established at the end of 2013 and resulted in a payment in early January 2014 of an amount of €199,256 (a multiple of 1.205 of the deferred bonus, as a result of the share price performance over the period 2010-2013, see section 8.4.2). c) Pension: €67,027. d) Other components of the remuneration: company car and payments for invalidity and healthcare cover, totaling €25,398. In its meeting of 17 December 2013 (in application of Article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code without the CEO being present) the Board of Directors resolved, upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, to increase the CEO’s salary by 3% as from 2014. The principles applied for such increase were in line with the Remuneration Policy described above. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 25 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 8.4.7 Total (aggregate) gross remuneration of the other members of the Executive Committee for financial year 2013 a) Base salaries (fixed): €1,053,142. b) Variable remunerations (bonuses): given the level of achievement of the criteria from the Senior Management Bonus Scheme to be entitled to a bonus (i.e. the corporate objectives for 2013), an aggregate bonus of €405,000 (i.e. 75% of the aggregate bonus pot for the incumbents in function on 31 December 2013) was awarded over 2013 of which 50% was paid early January 2014, and the other 50% was deferred for 3 years. The value of the 50% deferred part of the bonus awarded over 2010 was established at the end of 2013 and resulted in an aggregate payment of €205,040 (a multiple of 1.205 of the deferred bonus, as a result of the share price performance over the period 2010-2013, see section 8.4.2). The deferred bonus was paid in early January 2014. c) Pensions: €67,793. d) Other components of the remunerations: company cars, payments for invalidity and healthcare cover, and other fringe benefits, totaling €45,310. The amounts in this section include normal payments for compensation and benefits made to Dr Chris Newton, who ceased to be a member of the Executive Committee, until the date of cessation of his mandate as Executive Committee member, i.e. until 26 August 2013. In its meeting of 17 December 2013 the Board of Directors resolved to implement salary increases as from 2014 for the members of the Executive Committee generally in line with the increases awarded in previous years, based on individual performance and taking into account the relevant benchmarks. The principles applied for such increases were in line with the Remuneration Policy described above. 8.4.8 Shares, warrants or other rights to acquire shares awarded to, exercised by or expired for the CEO and other members of the Executive Committee during financial year 2013 In 2013, only warrants were offered to the members of the Executive Committee, and no shares or other rights to acquire shares were awarded. No warrants expired for members of the Executive Committee in 2013 and, in aggregate, 75,000 warrants were exercised by members of the Executive Committee in 2013. The Board of Directors does not consider the granted warrants as a variable remuneration, as they are not subject to any performance criteria. The following number of warrants were offered to and accepted by members of the Executive Committee in 2013: (i) under the Warrant Plan 2013, issued by the Board of Directors under the authorized capital on 16 May 2013, to each of Dr Hoekema, Dr Newton (who exited the Executive Committee per 26 August 2013) and Mr Jetten: 20,000 warrants; to Dr Wigerinck: 30,000 warrants and to Mr Van de Stolpe: 100,000 warrants; and (ii) under the Warrant Plan 2013 (B), issued by the Board of Directors under the authorized capital on 18 September 2013, to Mr David Smith (who joined the Executive Committee per 26 August 2013): 75,000 warrants. The warrants issued under Warrant Plan 2013 have an exercise price of €19.38 per warrant, a life time of 8 years, vest only and fully at the end of the third calendar year after the year of the grant, except for Mr Van de Stolpe, whose warrants vest over a period of 36 months at a rate of 1/36th per month. The warrants cannot be exercised prior to the end of the third calendar year after the year of the grant; they are not transferable, and each warrant gives the right to subscribe to one share of the Company. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 26 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 The warrants issued under Warrant Plan 2013 (B) have an exercise price of €15.18 per warrant, a life time of 8 years, vest only and fully at the end of the third calendar year after the year of the grant, cannot be exercised prior to the end of the third calendar year after the year of the grant, are not transferable, and each warrant gives the right to subscribe to one share of the Company. At the end of 2013, the CEO owned 357,348 shares of Galapagos and 695,000 warrants. The other members of the Executive Committee in function on 31 December 2013 held an aggregate of 47,400 shares and 687,500 warrants. The other members of the Board held an aggregate of 6,800 shares and 192,350 warrants. Each warrant entitles to one share of the Company. 8.4.9 Contractual provisions regarding compensation for severance for the CEO and other members of the Executive Committee The contracts between the Company (or its relevant affiliates) and the CEO and other members of the Executive Committee do not provide for severance compensation. They do not contain notice periods that exceed six months. However, in the past the Company has entered into undertakings with the CEO and the other members of the Executive Committee, providing that in case their contract with the Group is terminated as a result of a change of control of the Company, they would be entitled to a severance compensation of 12 months’ base salary for the CEO and 9 months’ base salary for the other members of the Executive Committee. 8.4.10 Severance payment for departing members of the Executive Committee in 2013 Not applicable; in 2013 no members of the Executive Committee (including the CEO) have left the Group. 8.4.11 Claw-back right of the Company relating to variable part of remuneration There are no contractual provisions in place between the Company and the CEO or the other members of the Executive Committee that give the Company a contractual right to reclaim from said executives the variable remuneration that would be awarded based on erroneous financial information. 8.5. Conflict of interest and related parties In the event of a transaction where a Director’s interest conflicts with the interest of the Company, the Director shall notify the Board of Directors in advance of the conflict and will act in accordance with the relevant rules of the Belgian Companies Code (i.e. article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code). In addition, the Company’s Corporate Governance Charter includes a policy for transactions between the Company and its Directors and executive managers. Without prejudice to the procedure defined in article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code, this policy provides that all transactions between the Company and its directors, its members of the Executive Committee or its representatives need the approval of the Board of Directors, whose approval can only be provided for transactions at normal market conditions. Such a conflict of interest, even in the event it is not a conflict of interest as provided for in article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code, shall be enacted in the minutes, and the Director or member of the Executive Committee shall not vote. s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 27 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 In 2013, four cases of conflict of interest between the Company and a Director were noted: (i) In a meeting of the Board of Directors held on 12 March 2013, it was resolved that the Board would make a recommendation to the next General Shareholders’ Meeting for a grant of warrants to the CEO and the other members of the Board under a proposed Warrant Plan 2013 as follows: Mr Van de Stolpe: 100,000 warrants; Ms Bosley: 7,500 warrants; Dr Parekh: 5,400 warrants; Dr Cautreels: 3,780 warrants; Dr Van Barlingen, Mr Rowe and Dr Sato: each 2,520 warrants. In application of article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code, the following is reported in connection with the proposed warrant offer for the CEO: The Chairman declares that Mr Onno van de Stolpe has informed the Board of Directors of a conflict of interest, concerning the proposed award to him of 100,000 warrants. It has been explained to the Board that the said warrant offer is proposed upon recommendation of the Remuneration Committee and is a justified reward for the results achieved by Mr Van de Stolpe. The award of this benefit will have no material impact on the financial position of the company. The Board shares the opinion of the Remuneration Committee that the proposed benefit is justified and reasonable. Mr Van de Stolpe did not take part in the deliberation and the vote concerning this decision. Furthermore, as a warrant offer is proposed to each Director, the same procedure has been followed for each Director individually. (ii) In a meeting of the Board of Directors held on 24 September 2013, the following was reported in application of article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code and in connection with the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, further to the resolution of the General Shareholders’ Meeting of 30 April 2013, as to the allocation of the aggregate annual remuneration of €200,000 (plus expenses) for Directors (other than Dr Parekh and Mr Van de Stolpe) for the exercise of their mandate as Director: the Chairman declared that the Directors involved had informed the Board of a conflict of interest, concerning their proposed remuneration. It has been explained to the Board that the proposed remuneration for each Director is a continuation of the level of the fees as paid in previous years, without increase. The level of these remunerations will have no material impact on the financial position of the company. Insofar as it related to his/her individual remuneration, the Director involved did not take part in the deliberation and the vote concerning this decision. (iii) During said meeting of the Board of Directors held on 24 September 2013, the following was reported in application of article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code and in connection with the general possibility of an exceptional special bonus (if and when applicable) under Galapagos’ remuneration policy, that could become awardable to the executive Director, Mr Van de Stolpe: the Chairman declared that Mr Van de Stolpe had informed the Board of Directors of a conflict of interest concerning such general possibility of an exceptional special bonus. It has been explained to the Board that such exceptional special bonus can only apply in the event of exceptional achievements, and that it should have no material impact on the financial position of the Company. Mr Van de Stolpe did not take part in the deliberation and the vote concerning this decision. (iv) In a meeting of the Board of Directors held on 17 December 2013 the following was reported in application of article 523 of the Belgian Companies Code and in connection with the salary increase and bonus for the CEO: the Chairman declares that Mr Onno van de Stolpe has informed the Board of Directors of a conflict of interest, concerning the proposed award to him of a salary increase and a bonus. The salary of Mr Van de Stolpe was increased with 3% as of s r o t c e r i D f r o d a o B e h t f o t r o p e R 28 Galapagos Annual Report 2013  2014. Given the actual level of achievement of the criteria from the Senior Management Bonus Scheme to be entitled to a bonus (i.e. the corporate objectives for 2013) a bonus of €325,741 (i.e. 75% of his 2013 salary) has been awarded to Mr Van de Stolpe for 2013. It has been explained to the Board that said salary increase and bonus is a justified reward for the results achieved by Mr Van de Stolpe in 2013. The salary increase and bonus will have no material impact on the financial position of the Company. The Board shares the opinion of the Remuneration Committee that the proposed salary increase and bonus is justified and reasonable. Mr Van de Stolpe did not take part in the deliberation and the vote concerning this decision. 8.6.

GENERAL INFORMATION Galapagos NV (“the Company” or “Galapagos”) is a limited liability company incorporated in Belgium and has its registered office at Generaal De Wittelaan L11/A3, 2800 Mechelen, Belgium. In this document references to “the Group” include Galapagos together with its subsidiaries. Galapagos NV was founded in 1999 as a joint venture between Crucell BV and Tibotec NV. Galapagos is an integrated drug discovery company with capabilities from target discovery to clinical proof of concept. R&D Galapagos’ R&D operations are specialized in the discovery and development of small molecules. Galapagos funds these programs through alliance payments from its pharma partners, cash generated by its profitable service operations, licensing agreements, and its cash reserves. Many of these programs are based on proprietary disease-modifying drug targets in disease areas for which there is a need for safe and effective medicines. Services The Service operations comprise BioFocus and Argenta. Galapagos acquired BioFocus in October 2005 and added to this business through a number of acquisitions in 2006 and 2008. BioFocus offers a full suite of target-to-drug discovery products and services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies and to patient foundations, encompassing target discovery and validation, screening and drug discovery through to delivery of pre-clinical candidates. Galapagos acquired Argenta in February 2010 and retained this company as a separate operation next to BioFocus. Argenta’s contract research, which includes expertise in medicinal chemistry, computer-aided drug discovery, in vitro biology, analytics, in vivo pharmacokinetics, pharmacology and world-leading respiratory models, has a strong reputation for scientific excellence. On 13 March 2014, Galapagos announced a definitive agreement with Charles River Laboratories, Inc. to sell the BioFocus and Argenta operations, with closing of the transaction expected in early Q2 2014. Galapagos acquired GlaxoSmithKline’s research center in Zagreb, Croatia in September 2010, which became part of the R&D operations. In February 2013 this research center was renamed Fidelta and will become part of the service division once this site has made the operational transition to a services company. History of the Company since IPO The shares of Galapagos NV have been listed on Euronext Brussels and Amsterdam since May 2005. The Group has grown strongly over the years, both organically and through acquisitions. At the end of 2005, Galapagos acquired UK-based BioFocus plc. (and its affiliates). The shares of BioFocus were listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange and the acquisition occurred through a public takeover bid in which Galapagos shares were offered in exchange for BioFocus shares. In connection with this acquisition 36 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 the shares of Galapagos were then also listed on AIM. In July 2006, Galapagos acquired the shares of the subsidiaries of Discovery Partners International, Inc. against cash payment. As a result, US-based ChemRx Advanced Technologies, Inc. (later renamed into BioFocus DPI, Inc.) and the Swiss DPI AG (now called BioFocus DPI AG) and their respective affiliates, were added to the Group. In September 2006 Galapagos NV raised €11.1 million in a private placement on Euronext Brussels and Euronext Amsterdam amounting to a net cash contribution of €10.7 million. In December 2006, Galapagos acquired the UK-based Inpharmatica Ltd and the French ProSkelia SASU (renamed into Galapagos SASU). Both acquisitions were financed with Galapagos shares. Together with the acquisition of ProSkelia, Galapagos NV raised €31 million in a private placement, amounting to a net cash contribution of €29.6 million. In March 2008, Galapagos’ Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (ADR) facility in the United States became effective. In April 2008 Galapagos cancelled its quotation on AIM. In August 2008, Galapagos acquired the assets and ongoing service agreements of UK-based Sareum Limited against cash payment. These assets positioned Galapagos’ service division BioFocus strongly in the growing field of structure-based drug discovery. In November 2008 Galapagos completed the sale of its San Diego based affiliate BioFocus DPI, Inc. to ChemVentures Pty Ltd. t s e o N On 21 October 2009, Galapagos raised €18.2 million in a private placement on Euronext resulting in a net cash contribution of €17.5 million. On 1 February 2010, Galapagos acquired the service operations of Argenta Discovery for a €16.5 million cash payment. On 9 September 2010, Galapagos acquired GlaxoSmithKline’s research center in Zagreb, Croatia. On 21 October 2010, Galapagos raised €28.7 million in a private placement with international institutional investors. On 1 June 2011, Galapagos announced the sale of Compound Focus, Inc. to Evotec for €10.25M cash and an additional €2.25 in potential earn-out payments upon performance of the business in 2012/2013 depending on revenues and certain corporate milestones; in 2012 an amount of €1 million was received as earn-out payment. On 4 January 2013, Galapagos acquired Cangenix Ltd., a structure-based drug discovery company added to the Argenta service offering, for a total consideration of €1.7 million. The consideration paid in the course of 2013 amounted to €1.2 million. A deferred consideration of €0.5 million is payable after two years upon achievement of certain conditions. On 13 March 2014, Galapagos announced a definitive agreement with Charles River Laboratories, Inc. to sell the BioFocus and Argenta operations, with closing of the transaction expected in early Q2 2014. A complete list of all companies directly or indirectly owned by Galapagos is detailed in note 33. 37 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 2.

The other new standards applicable did not have any impact on the Group’s financials. Going concern basis The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financing Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and the interpretations issued by the IASB’s International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee, which have been endorsed by the European Commission. The consolidated financial statements provide a general overview of the Group’s activities and the results achieved. They give a true and fair view of the entity’s financial position, its financial performance and cash flows, on a going concern basis. t s e o N Group reporting The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) established at 31 December each year. Together they constitute the Group. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of another entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries are included in the income statement and statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition up to the date when control ceases to exist. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Business combinations The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which are recognized and measured at fair value less costs to sell. For each business combination, it is determined whether the 39 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Business combinations and related goodwill/negative goodwill Goodwill arising on business combinations is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary less the value of the non-controlling interests at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the cash generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated may be impaired. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. In cases in which the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities less the value of the non-controlling interests exceeds cost, all fair values and cost calculations are reassessed. In the event that an excess still exists, it is immediately recognized in the profit or loss statement. Intangible assets Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. An internally generated intangible asset arising from the Group’s development activities is recognized only if all of the following conditions are met: • Technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale • The Group has the intention to complete the intangible assets and use or sell it • The Group has the ability to use or sell the intangible assets • The intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, or indicate the existence of a market • Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development are available • The Group is able to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. The amount capitalized as internally generated intangible assets is the sum of the development costs incurred as of the date that the asset meets the conditions described above. Internally generated intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. If the recognition criteria for accounting as an intangible asset are not met, development costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Intellectual property, which comprises patents, licenses and rights is measured internally at purchase cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life on the following bases: • Customer relationships: 1-10 years • In process technology: 3-5 years • Software & databases: 3-5 years • Brands, licenses, patents & know how: 5-15 years t s e o N 40 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 In the event an asset has an indefinite life, this fact is disclosed along with the reasons for being deemed to have an indefinite life. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets over their useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases: • Installation & machinery: 4-15 years • Furniture, fixtures & vehicles: 4-10 years Any gain or loss incurred at the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognized in profit or loss. Leasehold improvements Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the lease, unless a shorter useful life is expected. Assets held under finance lease Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their useful lives on the same bases as owned assets or, where shorter, over the term of the related lease agreement. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value represents the estimated sales price less all estimated costs for completion and costs for marketing, sales and logistics. Cost of raw materials comprises mainly purchase costs. Raw materials are not ordinarily interchangeable, and they are as such accounted for using the specific identification of their individual cost. The costs of work in progress comprise costs of materials, direct costs for personnel, and manufacturing overheads linked to transportation costs of inventory to the production location. Molecule screening libraries are stated at cost on acquisition and written off over their useful economic lives, calculated by reference to utilization, but which in any event cannot exceed 5 years. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Tax receivables Non-current tax receivables are discounted over the period until maturity date according to the appropriate discount rates. t s e o N 41 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Trade receivables Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at their nominal value reduced by appropriate allowances for irrecoverable amounts. Available for sale financial assets Available for sale investments are measured at fair value, except for those equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. Those equity instruments are measured at historical cost. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity until the security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included in the net profit or loss for the period. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for equity investments classified as available for sale are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss for debt instruments classified as available for sale are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are measured at nominal value. For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short term deposits, highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are presented on the balance sheet as current liabilities. Trade payables Trade payables bear no interest and are measured at their nominal value. Taxation Income tax in the profit or loss accounts represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable profit of the year. The taxable profit of the year differs from the profit as reported in the financial statements as it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability-method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. As such, a deferred tax asset for the carry forward of t s e o N 42 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 unused tax losses will be recognized to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Foreign currencies • Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are valued using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. • Transactions and balances in foreign currency t s e o N Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transaction. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at closing rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. • Financial statements of foreign group companies The results and financial position of all Group entities that have a functional currency different from Euro are translated as follows: • Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet • • • Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity Such exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of. Revenue recognition The Group generates revenues from providing research and development services, drug discovery and development activities, license or royalty agreements, the sale of products, various R&D incentives and from grants. The revenue recognition policies can be summarized as follows: • Service business milestone payments are recognized as revenues when achieved • Research milestone payments are recognized as revenues when achieved. In addition, the payments have to be acquired irrevocably and the milestone payment amount needs to be substantive and commensurate with the magnitude of the related achievement. Milestone payments that are not substantive, not commensurate or that are not irrevocable are recorded as deferred revenue. The Group believes that each 43 Galapagos Annual Report 2013  substantive milestone payment represents a separate reasonable value for that phase of the collaboration agreement • Non-refundable, upfront payments received in connection with research and development collaboration agreements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the relevant periods of continuing involvement, which is considered to be ended at the moment the first milestone is achieved • Fees received from partners for options to license molecules or programs are recognized as revenue at fair value, over the option period unless the license is taken by the partner at an earlier moment than foreseen in the contract, in which case the remaining fees are recognized as license revenue at that point • Sales from the BioFocus and Argenta business units typically comprise multiple elements combined in one or more license agreements. The elements in such multiple element arrangements are accounted for as follows: • • Sales of molecule collections and reagents are recognized as product revenue when delivered Contract research and development services are recognized as service revenues at fair value as such services are rendered. These services are usually in the form of a defined number of the Group’s full-time equivalent (“FTE”) at a specified rate per FTE • Upfront non-refundable license fees are only recognized as revenue at fair value when products were delivered and/or services were rendered in a separate transaction and the Group has fulfilled all conditions and obligations under the related agreement. In case of continuing involvement of the Group, the upfront fee would not be regarded as a separate transaction and the upfront non-refundable license fees will be deferred over the period of the collaboration • Molecule collections or viruses and technology access fees are recognized as license revenue over the period in which access is granted • Revenue under compound repository services is recorded as costs are incurred, which includes indirect costs that are based on provisional rates estimated by management. If actual costs are subsequently calculated to be greater than provisional rates, the additional income is recorded if there is a contractual right to submit updated claims. A reserve is provided against receivables for estimated losses that may result from rate negotiations, audit adjustments and/or lack of government funding availability if it is deemed necessary. To the extent that we incur adjustments due to rate negotiations or lack of government funding availability, revenue may be impacted • The Group receives operational grants and tax credits from certain governmental agencies which support the Group’s research and development efforts. These grants and tax credits generally aim to partly reimburse approved expenditures incurred in research and development efforts of the Group and are credited to the income statement when the relevant expenditure has been incurred and there is reasonable assurance that the grant or tax credit is receivable • Revenues from term licenses are spread over the period to which the licenses relate, reflecting the obligation over the term, to update content and provide ongoing maintenance • Revenues from perpetual licenses are recognized immediately upon sale to the extent that there are no further obligations, and only if the license imposes no further restrictions. t s e o N 44 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Equity instruments Equity instruments issued by the Company are measured by the fair value of the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Defined contribution plans Contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in the income statement as incurred. Defined benefit plans For defined retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognised in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognised in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net Interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorised as follows: • Service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements) • Net interest expenses or income • Remeasurement The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans in future contributions to the plans. A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs. Provisions Provisions are recognized on the balance sheet when a Group company has a present obligation as a result of a past event; when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligations. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of the money and, when appropriate, the risk specified to the liability. The Group as lessee Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease substantially transfers all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. The payments are divided proportionally between the financial t s e o N 45 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 costs and a diminution of the outstanding balance of the obligation, so that the periodic interest rate on the outstanding balance of the obligation would be constant. Interest is recognized in the income statement, unless it is directly attributable to the corresponding asset, in which case they are capitalized. Rents paid on operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amount of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset might be impaired. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. t s e o N If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is estimated to be less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss resulting from a sale of a subsidiary is recognized as income. In other cases impairment losses of goodwill are never reversed. Net earnings/loss per share Basic net earnings/loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share, if any, is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of warrants. Share-based payments The Group uses equity-settled share-based payments as an incentive to certain employees, directors and consultants. Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value determined at the grant date of the warrants is expensed over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will vest eventually. Fair value is measured by use of the Black & Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations. Discontinued Operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and (a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, (b) is part of a single coordinated plan 46 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or (c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Segment reporting Segment results include revenue and expenses directly attributable to a segment and the relevant portion of revenue and expenses that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to a segment. Segment assets and liabilities comprise those operating assets and liabilities that are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include income tax items. For further information, we refer to note 35 “Critical accounting estimates and judgments” and note 36 “Financial risk management.” 3. SEGMENT REPORTING t s e o N Segment reporting is represented in line with information presented to the CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker). The CODM within Galapagos has been identified as the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments by reviewing revenue, adjusted EBIT and gross margins by segment. Adjusted EBIT excludes the effects of share option compensation charges, impact of the impairment test of goodwill and restructuring costs from the operating segments. Interest income and charges and tax are not included in the results for the operating segments that are reviewed by the Executive Committee. Operating segments For management purposes, the Group is divided into two operating divisions: R&D and Services. These divisions form the basis upon which the Group reports its primary segment information. Principal activities are as follows: R&D operations Galapagos’ R&D operations are specialized in the discovery and development of small molecules. Galapagos funds these programs through alliance payments from its pharma partners, cash generated by its profitable service operations, licensing agreements from its proprietary pipeline, and its cash reserves. Many of these programs are based on proprietary disease- modifying drug targets in disease areas for which there is a need for safe and effective medicines. Service operations Galapagos’ service operations offer target-to-drug discovery products and services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies and to patient foundations, encompassing target discovery and validation, screening and drug discovery through to delivery of pre-clinical candidates. The service division has two operating units: BioFocus, which Galapagos has operated since 2005, and Argenta, which Galapagos acquired in February 2010. Galapagos operates these units in parallel, with both providing additional capacity and drug discovery capabilities to the Galapagos Group. The operational results of these segments are evaluated monthly at the meetings of the Executive Committee for resource allocation and performance measurement. Intersegment sales are charged at prevailing rates based on a tax transfer 47 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 pricing study. On 13 March 2014, Galapagos announced a definitive agreement with Charles River Laboratories, Inc. to sell the BioFocus and Argenta operations, with closing of the transaction expected in early Q2 2014. Segment information about these businesses for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012 is presented below. 2013 SEGMENT INFORMATION Thousands of € R&D revenue Service revenue Other Income Grant Income External revenue Internal revenue Total revenue Cost of services Gross Margin Opex MR EBIT MR EBITDA R&D Tax Credits Discounting of CIR receivables Reversal of Novartis revenue recognition Transfer Pricing Effect Warrants IFRS Amortisation IAS19R reclass actuarial gains/losses Other effects IFRS EBIT - RECURRING Restructuring costs Other Effect on IFRS Non Recurring Result R&D Services 72,478 3,955 61,250 11,046 5,054 52 92,533 61,302 4,719 2,508 97,252 63,810 -6,919 -41,893 90,333 21,917 -103,235 -14,887 -12,903 -9,325 7,030 9,640 4,084 1,903 -110 -197 2,174 -2,174 -1,809 418 -47 63 -934 -1,168 -260 -8,327 4,397 -290 -554 93 Intersegment Unallocated Galapagos eliminations costs Group total 72,478 65,205 11,098 5,054 153,835 153,835 -46,494 107,341 -119,347 -12,006 -5,421 5,987 -110 -197 -2,743 -750 -47 -197 -10,063 -1,050 93 -7,226 -7,226 2,318 -4,908 4,908 -6,133 -6,133 -5,736 -6,133 -206 IFRS EBIT -8,617 3,936 -6,339 -11,020 G N I T R O P E R T N E M E G A N A M G N I R R U C E R - S R F I N O N - S R F I G N I R R U C E R Service revenues within the R&D segment relate to fee-for-service work performed by the Zagreb site, as well as fee-for- service work for Servier.

The Group’s R&D division is located in Belgium, Croatia, France and The Netherlands, with its service division operating in the remaining countries. The Swiss site was closed in the second half of 2012. In 2013 the Group’s top 10 customers represent 91% of the revenues. Our Group’s client base includes 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the world. In 2013, Galapagos holds €111 million of non-current assets (€103 million in 2012) distributed as follows: • United Kingdom €57 million (€53 million in 2012) • France - €27 million (€28 million in 2012) • Belgium - €21 million (€16 million in 2012) t s e o N 49 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 4. TOTAL OPERATING INCOME ERP system also contribute to corporate costs. • Croatia - €4 million (€5 million in 2012) • The Netherlands - €2 million (€1 million in 2012) 4. TOTAL OPERATING INCOME Thousands of € Sales of goods Services (selling FTE) Milestone payments License fees Recognition of up-front non refundable fees Other operating income Total 2013 4,108 58,740 22,594 235 52,024 21,849 2012 2,205 66,885 28,201 38 38,493 17,162 159,549 152,984 Sales of goods consist of the sale of chemical compound libraries on a non-exclusive basis. Service revenues include the sale of biology and chemistry FTEs (full time equivalents) and related access fees under external contracts for the provision of target discovery and drug discovery services. The decrease compared to 2012 is mainly due to the closure of the Basel site in 2012. Milestone payments are mainly earned in the R&D business, as well as the recognition of upfront fees. The upfront fees are deferred and taken in revenue according to the accounting policies. Upfront fees increased significantly compared to 2012 because of the recognition of €45 million in 2013 of the $150 million (€112 million) upfront received from AbbVie for GLPG0634 in 2012 (compared to €37 million revenue recognition in 2012), increased with the $20 million extension AbbVie payment received in 2013 on the one hand. On the other hand €6.8 million of upfront fees has been recognized in 2013 related to $45 million upfront from AbbVie for cystic fibrosis received in October 2013. License fees cover the provision of chemistry based software and research tools under license agreements, which can also involve ongoing maintenance obligations. Other income includes government grants received towards the cost of internal research and development programs. In many cases these carry clauses which require the Company to maintain a presence in the same region for a number of years and invest according to pre-agreed budgets. Failure to do so may result in the repayment of all or part of the grants received. In addition, other income also includes other incentives received from government agencies, and consists mainly of the French, UK and Belgian tax credit for research companies and the Dutch and Belgian credit for salaries of research personnel. t s e o N 50 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 5.

Current group result before tax is a loss before tax as well as last year. The applied tax rate for other territorial jurisdictions is the tax rate that is applicable in these respective territorial jurisdictions on the estimated taxable result of the accounting year.

The non-taxable revenues, comprehending tax incentives like CIR, IWT, etc. in the different sites are also an important factor for the financial year 2013. 55 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 10.

The allocation of this goodwill through a Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) exercise has been performed in line with IFRS 3 and the outcome was that no goodwill should be allocated to tangible or intangible assets, as the purchase was driven by acquiring skills relating to structured-based biology and not customer base or customer relationships. The decrease in goodwill in 2012 can on the one hand be explained by the liquidation of Cambridge Drug Discovery Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries Cambridge Genetics Ltd. and Cambridge Discovery Ltd. On the other hand goodwill for R&D was impaired and as such reversed because this goodwill was related to programs of ProSkelia SASU (now: Galapagos SASU) for which currently no more work is performed (on hold). More specifically, the larger part of this goodwill was allocated to GLPG0492 (SARM-Cachexia) for which the further development of the program was discontinued in 2012. 2013 29,040 10,199 2012 29,040 8,627 39,239 37,667 Thousands of € Services - BioFocus Services - Argenta Total 57 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Services On 13 March 2014 Galapagos NV announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the BioFocus and Argenta service division operations to Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. for a total consideration of up to €134 million. Charles River agrees to pay Galapagos immediate cash consideration of €129 million. Upon achievement of a revenue target 12 months after transaction closing, Galapagos will be eligible to receive an earn-out payment of €5 million. The purchase price implies a multiple of approximately 2 times 2013 sales and approximately 12 times 2013 adjusted EBITDA. The net asset value of the sold service division operations amounts to €70.7 million at 31 December 2013. Consequently, the gain on the divestment will be much higher than the goodwill for the service division of €39 million in 2013 and no impairment charges need to be recorded. t s e o N 58 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 13.

Because BioFocus DPI Ltd. was profitable in 2012 and 2013 and management expects that this situation is sustainable, a deferred tax asset was set up for an amount of €4,558K (2012: €1,000K). This amount was based on a conservative estimate of net profits for the next 3 years. A deferred tax asset for tax losses carried forward, which are limited in time (3 years), was reversed for the Zagreb research center for an amount of €678K, because of the current year loss and forecasted losses in the foreseeable future due to the fact that Fidelta is in a transition period to go from an R&D subcontractor company to a fee-for-service company. The deferred tax liabilities relate to timing differences on the value of fixed assets of BioFocus DPI Ltd., BioFocus DPI Holdings and Argenta. t s e o N 66 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 24.

All leases are on a fixed repayment basis and no arrangements have been entered into for contingent rental payments. The fair value of the Group’s lease obligations approximates their carrying value. 25.

TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Thousands of € Trade payables Other creditors Other current liabilities Accrued charges Deferred income Total Included in current liabilities Included in non-current liabilities Total The increase in trade payables relates mainly to increased accounts payable and accruals for clinical trials in R&D (mainly GLPG0634 RA and Crohn’s disease). The decrease in deferred income is mainly due to the revenue recognition of the AbbVie payments. An additional amount of €15.6M ($20M) has been paid by AbbVie in 2013 for expansion of the patient population in the ‘634 trials. Revenue recognition of the initial €111.5M ($150M) and the additional €15.6M ($20M) for RA in the course of 2013 amounted to €45.0M. In addition an upfront of €34.0M ($45M) was paid by AbbVie for cystic fibrosis of which €6.8M was recognized in the course of 2013. The net movement AbbVie payments and related revenue recognition in the course of 2013 amounts as such to a decrease of €2.1M. 2012 6,056 20,532 15,883 42,472 2012 22,093 2,367 86,501 2,893 83,608 2013 29,365 2,462 82,838 3,858 78,979 114,664 110,962 112,202 2,462 114,664 108,594 2,367 110,962 t s e o N 68 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 27.

The decrease of €93K in the (current) restructuring provision is related to utilized amounts related to the building of the Basel site. 28. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS As a result of the acquisition of ProSkelia SASU (now: Galapagos SASU) from ProStrakan in 2006, ProStrakan is entitled to earn-outs for a maximum amount of €14.5 million, in case of achievement of predetermined milestones in the research programs that were taken over by Galapagos. The achievement of these milestones will generate a net positive cash flow for the Group, but this is still too uncertain. Due to this uncertainty a contingent liability has not been recorded yet. In the course of 2013 Galapagos SASU was subject to a tax audit on fiscal years 2008 to 2011. In December 2013 the French tax authorities proposed a tax adjustment amounting to €1.9 million in cash and a proposed decrease of its tax losses carried forward for €19,5 million. A defence response letter rejecting the claim was sent to the tax authorities on 10 February 2014. Considering the defence elements provided in favour of Galapagos SASU, the Board, also based on its external advisors assessment, evaluated the risk to be remote to possible, but not likely. Accordingly, it was decided not to record any tax provision in 2013 as the exposure is considered to be limited. On 13 March 2014 Galapagos NV announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the BioFocus and Argenta service division operations to Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. for a total consideration of up to €134 million. Charles River agrees to pay Galapagos immediate cash consideration of €129 million. Upon achievement of a revenue target 12 months after transaction closing, Galapagos will be eligible to receive an earn-out payment of €5 million. 29. RETIREMENT BENEFIT SCHEME Defined contribution plans The Group operates defined contribution systems for all of its qualifying employees. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Group in designated pension plans. For defined contribution systems, the Group pays t s e o N 69 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 contributions to publicly or privately administered pension- or insurance funds. Once the contribution is paid, the Group does not have any remaining obligation. The personnel of the Group in Belgium participate in a defined contribution plan (extra-legal pension). These arrangements are subject to a minimum guaranteed return in accordance with the Belgian legislation. These plans are financed through a group insurance policy for which the insurance company also guarantees a minimum return. Similar pension schemes apply to the Group entities in other countries, except for France. The amounts due by the Group to these pension schemes for 2013 was €2,996,491 (2012: €2,911,423) of which €33,924 was paid after 31 December 2013 (2012: €52,501). These amounts do not include the pension contributions of Galapagos SASU (see below). Defined benefit plans The Group uses two defined benefit plans for Galapagos SASU France. The defined benefit plans are not supported by funds. The first defined benefit plan is an addition to the French Social Security and requires Galapagos SASU to pay certain pension contributions, as under the French Social Security. In 2013 Galapagos SASU paid for this purpose €717,739 as employer social contributions (2012: €775,380). In addition, the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry’s collective bargaining agreements require that Galapagos SASU pays a retirement allowance depending on the seniority of the employees at the moment they retire. The benefit obligations for these retirement allowances amounted to €1,207,220 for 2013 (2012: € 1,115,870). This increase is mainly due to current service cost. Additionally, there are also seniority premiums paid in France. The provisions for these premiums amounted to €981,829 in 2013 (2012: €919,591). The revised IAS 19 standard is effective for accounting years beginning on or after 1 January 2013 with retroactive effect on accounting years beginning on or after January 1 2012. Actuarial gains and losses are to be recognized in the balance sheet immediately, with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income (OCI). They are not recycled subsequently. Regarding the provisions for seniority premiums (‘Gratifications’) the revised IAS 19 standard did not trigger any changes. Regarding retirement allowances (‘Indemnités de départ en retraite’), the actuarial gains of €46.642 have been booked through OCI at the end of 2013.

WARRANT PLANS Presented below is a summary of Warrant Plans activities for the reported periods. Various Warrant Plans were approved for the benefit of Directors and independent consultants of Galapagos NV, and of employees of the Group. The warrants offered to employees and independent consultants vest according to the following schema: 10% of the number of warrants granted vest upon the date of the grant; an additional 10% vest at the first anniversary of the grant; an additional 20% vest at the second anniversary of the grant; an additional 20% vest at the third anniversary of the grant; and an additional 40% vest at the end of the third calendar year following the grant. This vesting mechanism does not apply to the warrants granted under the Warrant Plan 2011, Warrant Plan 2012, Warrant Plan 2013 and Warrant Plan 2013 (B), for which all warrants vest at the end of the third calendar year following the year of the grant, with no intermediate vesting. The warrants offered to Directors vest over a period of 36 months at a rate of 1/36th per month. Warrants cannot be exercised before the end of the third calendar year following the year of the grant. Pursuant to a resolution of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of 23 May 2011 an in principle provision has been incorporated in the Warrant Plans that in the event of a change of control of the Company all outstanding warrants vest immediately and will be immediately exercisable. After the reverse 4:1 share split decided by the Shareholders’ Meeting of 29 March 2005, 4 warrants of Warrant Plan 2002 Belgium entitle the warrant holder to subscribe to one share. For the Warrant Plans created from 2005 onwards, one warrant entitles the warrant holder to subscribe to one share. In the summaries and tables below, the numbers of warrants issued under Warrant Plan 2002 Belgium are divided by 4 to avoid a mixture of rights.

RELATED PARTIES Intercompany transactions between Galapagos NV and its subsidiaries, and amongst the subsidiaries, have been eliminated in the consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. Trading transactions In 2013 and 2012, Galapagos NV and its affiliates had no trading transactions with parties that are considered as related parties as defined in IAS24. Potential conflicts of interest between the Company and its Directors t s e o N Pursuant to a power of attorney granted by the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 30 April 2013, the Board, upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, allocated the aggregate annual remuneration for all Directors (other than Dr Parekh and the CEO) for the exercise of their mandate as a Director of the Company in 2013, amounting in total to maximum €200,000 (plus expenses) as follows: (a) remuneration for non-executive Directors who do not represent a shareholder (Dr Van Barlingen and Mr Rowe): €20,000; (b) remuneration for non-EU-based Directors (who do not represent a shareholder) and/or for Directors who actively and on a regular basis provide independent clinical, scientific and/or transactional advice to the Board of Directors (Dr Cautreels, Dr Sato and Ms Bosley): €40,000; and (c) additional remuneration for the chairman of the Audit Committee (Dr Cautreels): €5,000. In 2012 the Directors received an annual fee of €20,000 plus expenses. The chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional payment of €5,000 per year. In addition, the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 24 April 2012 authorized an additional compensation of €20,000 for Directors who provide actively and on a regular basis independent clinical and scientific advice to the Board of Directors. In 2012, this was the case for Dr Cautreels and Dr Sato. Dr Parekh, the Chairman of the Board, is compensated through a consultancy agreement only (see note 32). There are no loans between Galapagos NV and the members of its Board of Directors or its Executive Committee. The remuneration of key management (including the CEO) is set out in note 32. In 2013 (as in 2012), there were no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders pursuant to which a representative of such shareholder became a Board Member or Executive Committee member of the Company. In 2013, a total of 124,240 warrants were issued to the Directors, of which 100,000 for the CEO; this issue of warrants was decided by the Board of Directors within the framework of the authorized capital, in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of 30 April 2013. In 2012, the total number of warrants issued to Directors was 117,640 (of which 100,000 for the CEO) by decision of the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of 22 August 2012. 75 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 32. REMUNERATION OF KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL On 31 December 2013, the Executive Committee comprised five members: Mr Onno van de Stolpe, Dr Andre Hoekema, Dr Piet Wigerinck, Mr Guillaume Jetten and Mr David Smith. In the course of 2013, one individual ceased to be a member of the Executive Committee: Dr Chris Newton, with effect from 26 August 2013. The remuneration package of the members of the Executive Committee who were in function in the course of 2013 comprises: Thousands of € (except for the number of warrants) 31/12/2013 31/12/2012 Short-term employee benefits (*) Post-employment benefits Total benefits excluding warrants Number of warrants offered in the year 2,502 83 2,585 3,348 123 3,470 265,000 230,000 (*) includes: salaries, employer social security contributions, other short term benefits. The above table includes the normal payments for compensation and benefits made to Dr Newton up to the date of cessation of his mandate as Executive Committee member. The members of the Executive Committee provide their services for the Group on a full-time basis. Their remuneration includes all costs for the Group, including retirement contributions. The 265,000 warrants offered in 2013 to the members of the Executive Committee were offered under Warrant Plan 2013, with the exception of the warrants offered to Mr Smith (75,000 warrants), which were offered under Warrant Plan 2013 (B). The retirement benefits to the members of the Executive Committee are part of the retirement benefit scheme to which all qualified personnel are entitled; the contributions are paid as a percentage of the gross annual salary. The Executive Committee members, together with other senior managers, are eligible to receive bonuses under the Senior Management Bonus Scheme established in 2006. Pursuant to the rules of the Senior Management Bonus Scheme, 50% of the bonus is paid immediately around year-end and the payment of the remaining 50% is deferred for three years. The deferred 50% component is dependent on the Company’s share price change relative to the Next Biotech Index (which tracks the Company’s peers). The Company’s share price and Index at the start and end of the 3-year period is calculated by the average price over the preceding and last month of the 3-year period, respectively. • If the Company’s share price change is better than or equal to the change in the Next Biotech Index, the deferred bonus will be adjusted by the share price increase/decrease and paid out. • If the Company’s share price change is up to 10% worse than the change in the Next Biotech Index, 50% of the deferred bonus will be adjusted by the share price increase/decrease and paid out, and the remainder will be forfeited. • If the Company’s share price change is more than 10% worse than the change in the Next Biotech Index the deferred bonus will be forfeited. t s e o N 76 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 To be entitled to any deferred payment under the bonus scheme the beneficiary must still be in the Company’s employ. The five members of the Executive Committee (including the CEO) who were in function in the course of 2013 were paid an aggregate amount of €1,467,517 in remunerations and received an aggregate amount of €841,937 in bonuses. The aggregate bonus amount was composed of 2 parts: (i) an aggregate bonus of €377,870, being 50% of the bonus for performance over 2013 (paid in early January 2014), with the other 50% being deferred for 3 years; and (ii) an aggregate amount of €464,067 paid in early January 2014 as the 50% deferred part of the bonus over 2010; this deferred part was established at the end of 2013 using a multiple of 1.205 of the deferred part of the 2010 bonus, as a result of the share price performance over the period 2010-2013. For 2012, the members of the then Executive Committee (comprising 7 members including the CEO) were paid an aggregate amount of €1,759,156 in remunerations and an aggregate amount of €1,366,470 in bonuses (which was composed of 3 parts: (i) an aggregate bonus of €286,125, being 50% of the bonus for performance over 2012 (paid in early January 2013), with the other 50% being deferred for 3 years, (ii) an aggregate amount of €817,915 paid in early January 2013 as the 50% deferred part of the bonus over 2009; this deferred part was t s e o N established at the end of 2012 using a multiple of 1.96 of the deferred part of the 2009 bonus, as a result of the share price performance over the period 2009-2012; and (iii) an aggregate amount of €262,430 paid in April 2012 as 50% of the special bonus in connection with the major collaboration agreement relating to GLPG0634 entered into in February 2012, with the other 50% being deferred for 3 years). Other components of their remuneration included contributions to the Group’s pension and health insurance schemes, company cars and certain fringe benefits of non-material value. Only the CEO is a member of both the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. The CEO does not receive any special remuneration for his work on the Board of Directors, as this is part of his total remuneration package in his capacity as member of the Executive Committee. No loans, quasi-loans or other guarantees were given to members of the Board and of the Executive Committee. Transactions with non-executive Directors In connection with the compensation of Directors, the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of 30 April 2013, resolved to establish the total maximum amount of the annual remuneration for all Directors together (excluding Dr Parekh and the CEO) for the exercise of their mandate as a Director of the Company, on an aggregate basis, at €200,000 (plus expenses). The same Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting granted a power of attorney to the Board to determine the remuneration of the individual Board members within the limits of said aggregate amount. Pursuant to this power of attorney, the Board determined, upon recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the allocation of the aggregate annual remuneration for Directors as follows: (a) remuneration for non-executive Directors who do not represent a shareholder (Dr Van Barlingen and Mr Rowe): €20,000; (b) remuneration for non-EU-based Directors (who do not represent a shareholder) and/or for Directors who actively and on a regular basis provide independent clinical, scientific and/or transactional advice to the Board of Directors (Dr Cautreels, Dr Sato and Ms Bosley): €40,000; (c) additional remuneration for the chairman of the Audit Committee (Dr Cautreels): €5,000. The aforementioned levels of remuneration are a continuation of the fees as paid in previous years. 77 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 In 2013, a total amount of €137,625 was paid to the independent Directors as Board fees (2012: €112,474) and €26,104 as expenses (2012: €11,331). In 2013 an aggregate amount of €20,000 was paid to the Directors who are not independent Directors and who do not represent a shareholder (2012: €20,000); they did not claim reimbursement of expenses. In case a Director attends less than 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors, the annual compensation set out above shall be reduced pro rata the absence score of such Director. This rule did not require implementation in 2013 or 2012. Directors who represent a shareholder on the Board of Directors will only receive reimbursement for the expenses they incur for attending meetings of the Board of Directors and no other compensation or fees for their Board membership. There were no such Directors in 2013 or 2012. As of 1 August 2005, the Chairman of the Board, Dr Parekh, receives an annual consulting fee of £50,000 as compensation for his specific assignment to assist the Company in strategic positioning, financing and acquisitions, including, amongst others, the evaluation of several alternative corporate transactions, including potential company and compound acquisitions, as well as strategic alliance opportunities. Dr Parekh does not receive other cash compensation from the Company. In 2013, 16,320 warrants were granted to non-executive Directors (2012: 17,640). t s e o N 78 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 33.

COMPANY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS Acquisition of subsidiary On 4 January 2013 Galapagos acquired Cangenix Ltd. which is located in Canterbury, UK. Cangenix is a structure-based drug discovery company and has been added to the Argenta service offering. It was formed in 2011 by scientists from the Structural Biology and Biophysics group at Pfizer Sandwich, UK. Recognized as experts in the field, the Cangenix team brings over 70 years of combined experience in the application of protein crystallography and biophysical techniques to drug discovery. Cangenix contributed €1.3 million of revenues for the period between the date of acquisition and 31 December 2013. In the 9 months reference period prior to the date of acquisition, Cangenix reported €0.7 million of revenues. The consideration paid for Cangenix in the course of 2013 amounted to €1.2 million, including €0.1 million of cash and cash equivalents acquired. A deferred consideration of €0.5 million has been recognised on the balance sheet and is payable after two years upon achievement of certain conditions. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of Cangenix Ltd. amounts to €1.6 million. For this subject matter we refer to note 12 “Goodwill”.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS Drafting financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates and to use assumptions that influence the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the notes on contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most important assumptions concerning future developments and the most important sources of uncertainty for estimates on the balance sheet date are presented below. Share based payments plans The Group determines the costs of the share based payments plans on the basis of the fair value of the equity instrument at grant date. Determining the fair value assumes choosing the most suitable valuation model for these equity instruments, by which the characteristics of the grant have a decisive influence. This assumes also the input into the valuation model of some relevant judgments, like the estimated useful life of the warrant and the volatility. The judgments made and the model used are specified further in note 30. Pension obligations The cost of a defined pension arrangement is determined based on actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation assumes the estimation of discount rates, estimated returns on assets, future salary increases, mortality figures and future pension increases. Because of the long term nature of these pension plans, the valuation of these is subject to important uncertainties. We refer to note 29 for additional details. Impairment of goodwill Changes in management assumptions on profit margin and growth rates used for cash flow predictions, could have an important impact on the results of the Group. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which the goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Considering that the consideration received for the sale of the service business is much higher than its net assets value, no estimation of the value in use is necessary anymore as at the end of 2013. (Cfr note 12. Goodwill). 36. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT We refer to note 5 “Risk factors” of the Report of the Board of Directors for additional details on general risk factors. Capital management The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern. At the same time, the Group wants to ensure the return to its shareholders through the results from its research activities. This strategy has not changed compared to 2012. The capital structure of the Group consists of financial debt (which currently the Group barely has), cash at bank and in t s e o N 81 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 hand and cash equivalents, as mentioned in note 18, and equity attributed to the holders of equity instruments of the Company, such as capital, reserves and results carried forward, as mentioned in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The Group manages its capital structure and makes the necessary adjustments in the light of changes of economic circumstances, the risk characteristics of underlying assets and the projected cash needs of the current research activities. The most important parameters used in assessing the capital structure are the current cash situation and the expected cash generation rate: the cash generation is defined as the net result, corrected for depreciations and reduced by investments in fixed assets. The Group wishes to maintain a capital structure that is sufficient to finance research activities for at least 12 months. For this, cash receipts from possible collaboration or other cash generating contracts, as well as the cash receipts from the services division BioFocus, are taken into account. To keep the capital structure at a certain level, the Group can issue new shares or enter into financing agreements. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. Financial risk management The financial department of the Company coordinates the access to national and international financial markets and considers and manages continuously the financial risks concerning the activities of the Group. These relate to the credit risk and the currency risk. There are no other important risks, such as liquidity risk or interest rate risk because the Group has nearly no financial debt and has a good cash position. The Group does not buy or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes. The Group primarily attempts to manage the currency risk by closing contracts in local currencies with the other party. These clients are for the most part large pharma groups that typically are better equipped to hedge against a possible exchange rate risk. For the remainder, the Group attempts to manage the currency risk for debt and receivables by matching the gains and costs in a foreign currency. Categories of material financial assets and liabilities: Thousands of € Financial assets Cash at bank and in hand Trade receivables Other amounts receivable Tax receivables (current and non-current) Financial liabilities Trade debtors Other amounts payable Leasing debts Tax payable 2013 2012 141,481 13,291 3,792 49,972 29,365 2,462 393 50 94,647 27,876 2,493 35,476 22,093 2,367 405 3 t s e o N 82 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 Credit risk on receivables The term “credit risk” refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. To limit the risk of financial losses, the Group has developed a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Galapagos grants credit to its clients in the framework of its normal business activities. Usually, the Group requires no pledge or other collateral to cover the amounts due. Management continuously evaluates the client portfolio for creditworthiness. All receivables are considered collectable, except for these for which a provision for doubtful debtors has been established. The trade receivables consist of a limited amount of creditworthy customers, many of which are large pharmaceutical companies, spread over different geographical areas. t s e o N Four clients represented 61% of the trade receivables at the end of 2013 of which 37% is related to one customer for which important milestones were achieved at year-end 2013 and which will be paid in 2014. Other clients represented less than 10% of the total balance sheet of the Group at the end of 2013. The concentration of the credit risk within the group is influenced strongly by the size of the amounts in the partnering agreements. The net book value of the financial assets in the financial statements represents the maximum credit risk. Aging balance of receivables that are due, but that are still considered collectable: Thousands of € 60 - 90 days 90 - 120 days Liquidity risk 2013 1,034 The Group’s consolidated balance sheet shows an amount of €100,107K as incurred losses. Cash needs are projected on a 3-year rolling forecast basis and are compared with expected available cash balances at the end of each period. These projections are based on realistic assumptions with regard to milestone and upfront payments to be received, taking into account the Company’s past track record, including the assumption that not all new projects that are being planned will be realized. On the basis of these projections and sensitivity analysis the Company expects no need for additional external funding for its current operations for at least the next 3 years. The Company could also decide to disinvest from some of its present activities as a means of generating additional cash. Market risk: interest rate risk The Group’s financial performance is not subject to any significant interest rate risk. The Company has in its portfolio a CDO for which the “mark to model” value is zero, and which consequently has been fully impaired. Based on the latest information, the tranche in our portfolio of the CDO has not been impacted by settled credit events. Galapagos no longer 83 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 receives interests on the CDO. Market risk: exchange rate risk The Group’s financial performance is subject to exchange rate risk, because part of its purchases is done in US dollars, Swiss Francs, GB Pounds and Croatian Kuna. To limit this risk, the Group attempts to align incoming and outgoing cash flows in currencies other than EUR. In addition, contracts closed by the different entities of the Group are mainly in the functional currencies of that entity. The exchange rate risk within the Group is therefore almost exclusively caused by the intra-group transactions between entities with a different functional currency. In order to further reduce this risk, Galapagos implemented a netting system within the group in the course of 2012, which restrains intra-group payments between entities with a different functional currency. The exchange rate risk in case of a 10% change in the exchange rate amounts to: Net book value - Thousands of € 31/12/2013 31/12/2012 Euros - US Dollars Euros - GB Pounds Euros - CH Francs Euros - HR Kunas CH Francs - GB Pounds HR Kunas - GB Pounds US Dollars - GB Pounds 521 185 163 798 1 31 708 507 927 93 1,146 95 5 807 The magnitude of the amounts on 31 December 2013 has decreased mainly in the conversion Euros – GB Pounds, as well in the conversion Euros – HR Kunas. 37. AUDIT FEES The statutory auditor’s fees for carrying out the statutory auditor’s mandate on the level of the Group headed by Galapagos NV amounted to €94,350 in 2013 (2012: €88,850). The fees for exceptional services or special missions executed by the statutory auditor, in particular other control missions, amounted to €20,906 in 2013 (2012: €12,863). Fees for persons related to the statutory auditor for carrying out an auditor’s mandate on the level of the group headed by Galapagos NV amounted to €105,650 in 2013 (2012: €111,150). The fees paid in 2013 for exceptional services or special missions executed in this Group by persons related to the statutory auditor for tax and consultancy amounted to €22,524 (2012: €126,087). The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are of the opinion that these ad hoc activities do not affect the independence of the statutory auditor in the performance of his statutory duties. The majority of the abovementioned additional fees were approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The one to one rule was complied with. t s e o N 84 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 38.

This report includes our report on the consolidated financial statements together with our report on other legal and regulatory requirements. These consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, as well as the summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Report on the consolidated financial statements – Unqualified opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Galapagos NV (“the company”) and its subsidiaries (jointly “the group”), prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium. The consolidated statement of financial position shows total assets of 287,374 (000) EUR and the consolidated income statement shows a consolidated loss for the year then ended of 8,079 (000) EUR. Board of directors’ responsibility for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium, and for such internal control as the board of directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Statutory auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the statutory auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the statutory auditor considers internal control relevant to the group’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating 86 Galapagos Annual Report 2013 the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the board of directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We have obtained from the group’s officials and the board of directors the explanations and information necessary for performing our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Unqualified opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of Galapagos NV give a true and fair view of the group’s net equity and financial position as of 31 December 2013, and of its results and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in Belgium. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and the content of the directors’ report on the consolidated financial statements. As part of our mandate and in accordance with the Belgian standard complementary to the International Standards on Auditing applicable in Belgium, our responsibility is to verify, in all material respects, compliance with certain legal and regulatory requirements. On this basis, we make the following additional statement, which does not modify the scope of our opinion on the consolidated financial statements: • The directors’ report on the consolidated financial statements includes the information required by law, is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and is free from material inconsistencies with the information that we became aware of during the performance of our mandate.
