Once again, the Company’s progress is based on our success in building a valuable drug pipeline. Our prod-uct pipeline is larger and more mature than ever, now comprising 94 programs in around 60 clinical trials, with three of our antibodies in phase 3 development and 10 in phase 2. First product approvals are getting nearer. Most importantly, the Company is in an excellent position to create substantial value in the years to come.The lion’s share of our R&D investment goes into our proprietary development programs. Here we made excellent progress in 2014, not least with MOR208. This antibody, which is being developed to treat B-cell malignancies, hit important regulatory and clinical milestones during the year. Clinical data from our trials in CLL and NHL showed that this antibody has clear therapeutic activity and the potential to make a real difference for patients. Receiving fast-track designation from the FDA for the indication DLBCL was a highlight in 2014 and will enable us to accelerate development in this under-served indication.Letter to the Shareholders12THE COMPANYManagement Board of MorphoSys AGIn August, we added another very innovative molecule – MOR209/ES414 – to our portfolio when we entered a co-development and co-commercialization agreement with Emergent BioSolutions. The agreement is another step on our path to establishing a future commercial portfolio, as we secured sole rights to the program outside of North America. Combined with our other programs in formal development, MOR103, MOR202 and MOR106, this adds up to an attractive portfolio.As our clinical programs advance, we are not neglecting our earlier portfolio, which is an essential component of ensuring that our business is sustainable. In the field of oncology, we entered an alliance with a new partner, Merck Serono, to co-develop antibodies against selected “checkpoint” targets. This collaboration increases our involvement in this new and rapidly growing area of cancer research.Our agreement with Temple University is aimed at increasing our access to early target discovery. We look forward to harvesting the fruits of this and other research relationships in the years to come.Our proprietary R&D is aimed at building a valuable portfolio of new therapeutic agents for unmet medical needs. The resulting therapeutic programs represent the tip of a very large iceberg of drug candidates currently in development. Amongst these are a number of very promising partnered pro-grams in advanced development, two of which are nearing the market.The program that generated the most attention in 2014 was guselkumab, an HuCAL antibody being developed by Janssen, for which positive phase 2b data was reported, and which is now the subject of five phase 3 trials for psoriasis. Management Board of MorphoSys AG13THE COMPANYManagement Board of MorphoSys AGA second antibody in late-stage development, Novartis’s bimagrumab, could become the first therapeutic HuCAL antibody on the market, depending on the outcome of the ongoing trial in sporadic inclusion body myositis.Towards the end of the year, we were reminded of the uncertainty of drug development when a phase 3 trial of Roche’s gantenerumab in prodromal Alzheimer’s patients was stopped for lack of efficacy. Two late-stage trials are continuing, however, including a 1,000-patient trial in mild Alzheimer’s patients that Roche initiated at the beginning of 2014. Risk in drug development is best mitigated by having a broad pipeline, which we have, and which is a truly distinguishing feature of MorphoSys.Our financial soundness, based on a healthy balance sheet as well as revenues secured through long-term partnerships, continues to be one of MorphoSys’s key strengths. This gives us the ability to invest in developing innovative products, expanding, enriching and diversifying our portfolio. This is essential if we are to continue to build the Company’s value.For the third year in a row, our investors enjoyed a strong share price performance. Even with a dip at year-end, the MorphoSys share price increased by 37 % in 2014. Increasingly, the performance of our share price reflects progress in the pipeline rather than obvious financial parameters, as is to be expected for a development-stage biopharmaceutical company.1212THE COMPANYManagement Board of MorphoSys AGArmed with industry-leading technology, a full product pipeline and a great team, we look forward with confidence. Our most advanced proprietary program, MOR208, will be the main focus of our proprietary R&D investment in 2015. The results we’ve seen in the clinic so far justify our ambitious plans for this exciting drug candidate. The fast track designation we received from the FDA in 2014 will help shorten the time to market. We also look forward to clinical data from some of our partnered programs, most notably the pivotal trial of bimagrumab in sporadic inclusion body myositis as well as phase 2 read-outs from four other programs.Success does not just happen: it is the result of the efforts of employees who are creative, dedicated and hard-working. MorphoSys is very fortunate in having such employees, to whom I would like to extend my deepest thanks for their hard work on the behalf of all of our stakeholders – colleagues, partners, investors, and, increasingly, patients. I would also like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support. I am sure you will join me in wishing our Company a successful 2015.Dr. Simon MoroneyChief Executive OfficerManagement Board of MorphoSys AG“This has been another year of excellent progress for MorphoSys in both partnered and proprietary drug development. Our increasing investment in proprietary R&D is paying off, as is evident from our growing portfolio of therapeutic candidates. As the first product candidates get closer to the market, the huge potential value in our pipeline is becoming more and more tangible.” DR. SIMON MORONEY“Progress with our lead cancer compound MOR208 was very encouraging last year. Very promising clinical data both in CLL and NHL and important regulatory achievements bode well for future de-velopment of this compound. With MOR209/ES414 we have been able to add a highly innovative pros-tate cancer compound to our portfolio.” DR. ARNDT SCHOTTELIUS“In 2014, our partnered pipeline has matured significantly and now includes more programs in clinical trials and in a more advanced state than ever before. With guselkumab, developed by Janssen/J&J, the third partnered program based on our HuCAL antibody platform entered pivotal trials. Guselkumab joins Novartis’s bimagrumab as a contender for the first HuCAL antibody to enter the market.” DR. MARLIES SPROLL “Our ability to advance our existing proprietary programs and to drive the expansion of our port folio continues to be a main strength of our business. With € 353 million in cash and other financial assets MorphoSys has the financial re-sources to establish a substantial proprietary portfolio on top of our maturing partnered pipeline.” JENS HOLSTEIN13THE COMPANYManagement Board of MorphoSys AGGROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 14 Contents GroupManagement Report1 operations and business environment 162 analysis of net assets, financial position and results of operations 353 outlook and forecast 454 shares and the capital market 495 sustainable business development 536 risk and opportunity report 617 statement on corporate governance and corporate governance report 708 subsequent events 9115GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTContents12345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 16 Operations and Business Environment During the 2014 financial year, MorphoSys successfully forged ahead with its strategy of building a broad pipeline of biopharmaceutical compounds. Advancing the proprietary portfolio within this pipeline was a key focus for the organization. We succeeded in in-licensing the bi-specific* antibody* MOR209/ES414, an innovative development candidate for the treatment of prostate cancer. The Company presented promising clinical data for its compound MOR208 in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The projects initiated by our partners in the Partnered Discovery business segment also developed well, and the number of active development projects continued to increase. Although our partner Roche stopped a phase 3 study of the Alzheimer’s compound gantenerumab shortly before the end of 2014, two other clinical trials with this development candidate are continuing. This event highlights the strength of MorphoSys’s business model, namely to have a broad pipe- line of development candidates. Operations and Business Environment Strategy and Group Management S T RAT EGY AND OBJEC T IVES MorphoSys’s goal is to build the most valuable biopharmaceutical pipeline in the biotech industry. Based on its powerful technology for the discovery of therapeutic antibodies, the Company has pro- duced more than 90 drug candidates in development, of which three are currently in pivotal studies. The majority of the develop- ment programs are conducted in partnership with leading phar- maceutical and biotechnology companies. MorphoSys uses the revenues generated from these partnerships to expand its propri- etary portfolio, which now compromises ten programs, two of which are already in clinical phase 2 trials*. Our strategy to de- velop compounds for partners was expanded many years ago to include the proprietary development of drug candidates up until commercialization. We will continue to execute our two-pillar strategy to develop compounds for partners as well as proprietary drug candidates and to generate added value as we have done in the past. *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 The Proprietary Development segment first discovers and devel- ops antibody programs based on the Company’s proprietary tech- nology platforms or candidates which were in-licensed from other companies. During clinical development, a decision is made on a case-by-case basis whether and at what point a partnership for the drug candidate’s subsequent development and commercialization will be pursued. The drug candidate can then be either entirely out-licensed or developed further in cooperation with a pharma- ceutical or biotechnology company (co-development). In certain circumstances, individual projects can also be brought to the point of commercialization using internal resources. In the Partnered Discovery segment, MorphoSys develops opti-mized therapeutic antibodies, also based on its proprietary tech-nologies, for its partners in the pharmaceutical industry. The con-tractual payments that result include license fees for technologies and funded research as well as success-based payments and royal-ties* on product sales. The funds generated from these partner-ships support our long-term business model and secure a large portion of the funding for our proprietary development activities via the high number of programs in our pipeline.Both segments are based on the Company’s innovative technolo-gies. The foremost growth drivers in these segments are HuCAL*, the industry’s most successful antibody library* measured by the number of clinical development candidates and the ensuing plat-form, Ylanthia*, which is currently the largest known antibody library based on the antibody Fab fragment. MorphoSys also uses its financial resources to expand and deepen its technological base through in-licensing. During the reporting year, for example, MorphoSys was able to expand its existing technology platform to include a very promising approach by acquiring the lanthipeptide technology from Lanthio Pharma.In addition to investing in proprietary development and new tech-nologies, MorphoSys secures long-term growth by closely follow-ing the international biotechnology sector for acquisition candi-dates and in-licensing opportunities. The Company’s goal is to increase enterprise value by investing significantly in its propri-etary development activities while maintaining financial disci-pline and strict cost control.GROUP MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORSMorphoSys uses both financial as well as non-financial indicators to manage the Group. These help monitor the success of strategic decisions and allow MorphoSys to promptly take the appropriate countermeasures when necessary. In addition, the management monitors and evaluates selected early indicators to give a thorough assessment of a project’s progress and quickly employs counter-measures if there are any undesirable developments. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORSOur financial performance indicators are described in detail in the section entitled “Analysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of Operations.” Revenues and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are the key financial indicators for measuring opera-tional business performance. The performance of both segments is ascertained monthly and budget planning for the current financial year is revised and updated quarterly. We also prepare a medi-um-term plan once a year that covers the following three years. A thorough cost analysis is carried out on an ongoing basis. The Company uses this analysis to monitor its adherence to financial targets and to make comparisons with previous periods. The MorphoSys business performance is influenced by factors such as milestone and license payments, research and develop-ment (R&D) expenses, other operating cash flows, existing and expected liquidity and working capital. These indicators are also analyzed and evaluated on a routine basis, whereby the main focus is on the statement of income, existing and future liquidity and available investment opportunities. The net present value of in-vestments is determined using discounted cash flow models*.*SEE GLOSSARY page 150TABLE01Development of Financial Performance Indicators1in million €20142013201220112010MORPHOSYS GROUP Revenues from continuing operations264.078.051.982.187.0EBIT (Earnings before interest and taxes) from continuing operations3, 4(5.9)9.92.49.89.8PROPRIETARY DEVELOPMENT Segment revenues15.026.97.02.41.8Segment result(18.4)(0.5)(11.0)(32.2)(24.5)PARTNERED DISCOVERY Segment revenues49.051.044.779.366.3Segment result25.925.423.055.742.71 Differences due to rounding2 Revenues of discontinued operations 2013 – 2011: 2013: € 0.6 million, 2012: € 17.7 million, 2011: € 18.7 million; 2010 total Group revenues3 2010: profit from operations4 Contains unallocated expenses (see also item 3.4 of the Notes): 2014: € 13.4 million, 2013: € 15.0 million, 2012: € 9.6 million, 2011: € 13.7 million, 2010: € 8.4 million incl. segment result AbD Serotec € +1.2 million17GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment12345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 18 Operations and Business Environment NON - FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Non-financial indicators are used equally for managing the Com- pany. For reporting purposes, MorphoSys uses Sustainable De- velopment Key Performance Indicators (SD KPIs) that are also recommended by the SD KPI standard. These include success in proprietary research and development (SD KPI 1) and achieve- ments in partnered programs as benchmarks for the commercial- ization rate (SD KPI 2). In the last five years, no products have been recalled and no fines or settlements have been imposed as the re- sult of disputes in the areas of product safety and product liability (SD KPI 3). MorphoSys relies on the consistent progress of its product pipeline to secure its leading position in the market for therapeutics. This refers to both the number of therapeutic antibodies – 94 at the end of the reporting year – as well as the progress of the development pipeline and the possible market potential. Since successful prod- ucts are based on first-class technologies, the progress of our tech- nology development forms another key performance indicator. Not only the quality of research and development, but also the profes- sional management of partnerships is at the heart of success. This is true for new contracts as well as for the further strategic devel- opment of existing alliances. Details on these performance indica- tors can be found in the section “Research and Development and Business Development” (page 26). The non-performance indicators described in detail in the chapter “Sustainable Business Development” (page 53) are also used to manage the MorphoSys Group successfully.

On a company level, economic data on the progress of individual programs is gathered for both segments. For macroeconomic leading indicators, MorphoSys relies on general market data from external financial studies which are reviewed for industry transactions, changes in the legal environment and the availability of research funds.A joint steering committee meets regularly concerning each active collaboration. The role of this committee is to update and monitor the programs’ progress and the emergence of any potential mile-stone payments. These ongoing reviews give us the opportunity to intervene early on when any negative developments occur and also provide us with information on expected milestone payments at a very early stage. For non-active collaborations, the partner prepares a report that helps MorphoSys track the status of ongoing therapeutic programs.In the area of business development, market analysis provides early indicators and helps determine the market’s demand for new technologies. Permanent monitoring of the market allows MorphoSys to react to trends and demands at an early stage and initiate its own new activities or partnerships.Prior to the development of a therapeutic product, a target product profile (TPP) is created and updated continually in the course of the development process. This procedure provides an early indica-tion of the properties a product must have in order to be successful in the market. Important questions are also clarified during this process, such as the level of efficacy to be achieved, whether an improvement in the safety profile is at the center of development, or whether the focus should be on a change in the dosage form of the drug candidate. A detailed description of the product’s possible market positioning and the relevant patient groups are also part of the TPP. Permanent monitoring of criteria and their fulfillment ensure that the most important factors are considered during product development and that changes can be responded to in a timely manner.Business ActivitiesDRUG DEVELOPMENTMorphoSys develops drugs using its own research and develop-ment as well as in cooperation with pharmaceutical and biotech-nology partners. The development of new treatments for patients who suffer from serious diseases is our core business activity. With a total of 94 individual therapeutic antibody programs at the end of 2014, three of which are in pivotal phase 3 trials, the Com-pany possesses one of the broadest pipelines in the industry. TECHNOLOGIESMorphoSys has developed a number of technologies which offer direct access to fully human* antibodies for the treatment of dis-eases. The most widely-known technologies of MorphoSys include HuCAL, which is a collection of billions of fully human antibodies and a system for their optimization. Ylanthia, the next generation of antibody technology from MorphoSys, is currently the largest known antibody library in Fab format*, and is based on an innova-tive concept for the generation of highly specific and fully human antibodies. MorphoSys believes Ylanthia will establish a new stan-dard in the pharmaceutical industry’s development of therapeutic antibodies in this decade and beyond. Through Slonomics*, MorphoSys has a patented, fully automated technology for gene synthesis and modification for the generation of highly diverse gene libraries in a controlled process. The lanthipeptide technol-ogy acquired in the reporting year is a valuable addition to our existing library of antibodies and opens up new possibilities to search for potential drugs comprising stabilized peptides. *SEE GLOSSARY page 150 19GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 20 Operations and Business Environment F I G U R E 01 Revenues of the MorphoSys Group by Segment 1 Group revenues from con- tinuing operations; Sale of AbD Serotec to Bio-Rad was announced in 2012, and therefore respective revenues were reclassi- fied as discontinued opera- tions from 2011 onwards in accordance with IFRS 5 p r o p r i e ta ry d e v e lo p m e n t pa r t n e r e d d i s c o v e r y a b d s e r o t e c 100.0 90.0 80.0 70.0 60.0 50.0 40.0 30.0 20.0 10.0 0 T O T A L in million € 87.0 66.3 T O T A L in million € 82.11 79.3 T O T A L in million € 51.91 44.7 20.2 1.8 2.4 7.0 T O T A L in million € 78.01 T O T A L in million € 64.0 51.0 49.0 26.9 15.0 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 PROPRIE TARY DEVEL OPMEN T An important goal of the Company is to generate higher enterprise value through the proprietary development of innovative antibod- ies. Table 3 gives a summary of the proprietary clinical product candidates that are being developed for the indications of inflam- matory diseases and cancer. ONC OLOGY The ability of monoclonal antibodies* to bind specific antigens has led to their dominant position in the field of targeted cancer thera- pies. The global market for innovative biological therapies for can- cer treatment is growing rapidly. Two of the MorphoSys propri- etary cancer programs, MOR208 and MOR202 are currently in clinical development. The MorphoSys antibody MOR208 is directed against the target* molecule CD19*, which is of special interest with regard to many B-cell malignancies. According to the market research firm, Deci- sion Resources, the therapeutic market for the B-cell malignancy non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma will reach a size of approximately US$ 10 billion in 2022. Current biological therapies for the treat- ment of B-cell malignancies, including the blockbuster rituximab (trade name Rituxan®) and the antibody obinutuzumab (trade name Gazyva®), are directed against the CD20* target molecule. Since CD19 is expressed on a larger number of B-cell subtypes in comparison to CD20, the CD19 antibodies may provide a better therapeutic approach. MOR208 was further improved by chang- ing the constant Fc part* of the antibody. This modification leads to both a higher antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC*) as well as to an improvement in antibody-dependent cel- lular phagocytosis (ADCP*). The most advanced therapeutic ap- proach against CD19 is the bi-specific* antibody blinatumomab (trade name Blincyto™) which received approval in the reporting year for the indication acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL*). Other clinical programs directed against the same target molecule use alternative approaches in order to increase the efficacy of the anti- body, e.g. coupling with toxic substances or a change in the anti- body’s glycosylation pattern. Another therapeutic approach against CD19 is the CAR-T* technology. This immune therapy extracts immune cells (T cells) from the patient’s blood. The T cells are subsequently altered outside of the body so that they can be better directed to and kill the patient’s tumor cells. When these T cells are later re-administered to the patient’s blood by infusion, they bind the targeted cancer cells and destroy them. In the area of B-cell malignancies, different approaches with small molecules* are also being developed. *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 MorphoSys’s antibody MOR202 is currently being developed for the treatment of multiple myeloma* (MM) and is directed against the CD38* target molecule. This project was successfully brought into a partnership with Celgene in 2013. Measured in terms of frequency of occurrence, MM is a relatively small area of oncology. Nevertheless, the MM market has shown impressive revenues in recent years and represents a potential market of more than US$ 9 billion in 2015. Significant achievements in clinical practice and the introduction of effective and highly priced pharmaceutical products have led to an expansion of the market. However, com-pared with the compounds currently available, there is still un-tapped market potential in terms of developing different forms of therapy for improving the chances of survival and reducing side effects. Despite much higher survival rates, the disease is seldom curable and a majority of patients experience a relapse. This has led to a particularly high demand for alternative treatments, such as those that target the CD38 surface antigen. Apart from MOR202, the industry has two other clinical development programs target-ing CD38.In August 2014, a co-development and co-promotion agreement for MOR209/ES414 was signed with Emergent BioSolutions. The compound will be developed for patients suffering from metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC*). MOR209/ES414 is a bi-specific anti-PSMA/anti-CD3* antibody based on Emergent’s ADAPTIR™ platform. The immunotherapeutic protein* activates the patient’s T-cell immunity against prostate cancer cells ex-pressing prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). This anti-gen* is commonly overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. The anti-CD3 binding domains of the molecule selectively bind to the T cell receptor on cytotoxic T cells which become activated when the anti-PSMA binding domains crosslink them to the cancer cells. The two pairs of binding domains of MOR209/ES414 are linked to opposite ends of an immunoglobulin Fc domain to extend the com-pound’s half-life and enable the use of a purification process typi-cal of immunoglobulin-based molecules. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with approximately 900,000 new cases annually worldwide. As preclinical* in vitro and in vivo studies have shown, MOR209/ES414 redirects T cell cytotoxicity towards prostate cancer cells expressing PSMA.INFLAMMATORY AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASESChronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases affect millions of patients worldwide and pose a considerable social and economic burden. The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics (IMS Health) forecasts a world market for the treatment of autoimmune diseases of US$ 33 – 36 billion by the year 2016. MOR103, the antibody fully out-licensed by MorphoSys to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 2013, is targeted against the GM-CSF* (granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor) target mole-cule – a central factor in the emergence of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis* and multiple sclerosis* (MS). The market for drugs treating rheumatoid arthritis has tremendous commercial potential. Biotechnologically produced drugs already comprise the major part of the total revenues achieved in this market. The market overall is growing continuously. Datamonitor expects the RA-market to reach US$ 18 billion by the year 2020. Currently, the best-selling MS drugs have combined annual reve-nues of approximately US$ 11 billion, and the market is expected to continue to grow. MOR103 has the potential to become the first member of the anti-GM-CSF antibody class of drugs. Comparable drugs currently in development are targeted against the GM-CSF molecule or against the GM-CSF receptor. New mechanisms for treating inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis or osteoarthritis are being ex-amined in cooperation with the Belgian company Galapagos NV with the aim of developing new antibody therapies to treat these diseases. The first candidate from this cooperation – MOR106 – entered preclinical development in the reporting year. Both com-panies contribute their core technologies and expertise as part of this alliance. In accordance with the agreement, Galapagos and MorphoSys share research and development costs and all future revenues equally. INFLUENCING FACTORSProper medical care for the public is the stated objective of many countries, and the need for new forms of therapy continues to grow in the face of demographic change. However, cost-cutting could slow down the industry’s development. As part of their austerity measures, governments in Europe, the United States and Asia have stepped up their healthcare controls and are monitoring drug reimbursement closely. As already seen in the field of small molecule drugs, generic com-petition is now becoming an increasing challenge in the biotech-nology industry due to the expiry of patent protection for drugs. The technical barriers to copying bioengineered drugs remain high. Nevertheless, many drug manufacturers, particularly those from Europe and Asia, are now penetrating this market and plac-ing more competitive pressure on established biotechnology companies. According to a study by IMS Health, the global market for biosimilars* will grow from US$ 693 million in 2011 to US$ 4 – 6 billion by 2016.*SEE GLOSSARY page 15021GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 22 Operations and Business Environment T A B L E MOR1032 MOR202 MOR208 MOR209/ES414 Compound 03 Proprietary1 Clinical Product Candidates • HuCAL antibody against the GM-CSF (granulo- cyte macrophage colony-stimulating fac- tor) cytokine, a target molecule for a broad range of inflammatory diseases • Out-licensed in 2013 • HuCAL antibody against CD38, a target mole- cule for the treatment of multiple myeloma and certain leukemias • Entered into a coopera- tion agreement for further development in 2013 • Humanized, Fc-opti- • Bi-specific anti-PSMA/ mized anti-CD 19 anti- body for the treatment of B-cell malignancies • In-licensed in 2010 anti-CD3 antibody based on Emergent’s ADAPTIR™ platform • Entered into a cooperation agreement for further development in 2014 • Fc-optimization triggers significantly higher immune response by means of antibody- dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) • Favorable form of administration • Simple method of production Completely under the control of MorphoSys • Current funding is completely provided by MorphoSys Characteris- tics • Targets both monocytes • Binds to a unique epi- and macrophages tope Funding • Extremely high binding affinity • Rapid therapeutic effect Global licensing agree- ment with GSK • GSK is responsible for all further development and promotion of MOR103 in all indica- tions • MorphoSys received an upfront payment of € 22.5 million in 2013 • Entitled to receive addi- tional milestone pay- ments from GSK of up to € 423 million as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales • Cytotoxic effects cause death of cancer cells • Preclinical trials show a synergistic effect with pomalidomide and lena- lidomide • Administration via 2-hour infusion Co-development and co-promotion with Celgene • Both companies co- develop MOR202 globally; cost sharing is 2/3 Celgene and 1/3 MorphoSys • Upfront payment of € 70.8 million plus equity investment of € 46.2 million • Milestone-related payments of up to € 511 million • A 50:50 share in profits from promotion in Europe; outside this market, MorphoSys receives tiered double- digit royalties on net sales Current Status • Phase 1b/2a trial for rheumatoid arthritis completed successfully • Phase 1b trial in multi- ple sclerosis completed successfully • Expansion of the phase 1/2a trial in patients with multiple myeloma with lenalidomide and pomalidomide as new combination partner • First clinical data ex- pected in H1/2015 • Promising data on NHL* with 4 subtypes pre- sented in December 2014 • Data on ALL trial with 30 patients expected in H1/2015 • Phase 2 combination trial with lenalidomide in CLL* performed in- dependently by Ohio State University (IST*) • Directs cytotoxic T cells against prostate cancer cells expressing pros- tate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) • Promising preclinical in vitro and in vivo data Co-development and co- promotion with Emergent • MorphoSys has global promotion rights with the exception of the USA and Canada (promotion rights for Emergent) • Emergent received upfront payment of US$ 20 million and is entitled to potential milestone payments of up to US$ 163 million • 64 % of development costs are borne by MorphoSys and 36 % by Emergent • Emergent receives low- single-digit royalties on product sales in the MorphoSys sales regions and MorphoSys receives tiered royalties in the mid- single-digit percentage range up to 20 % on product sales in Emergent’s sales regions • Initiation of a clinical phase 1 trial planned in early 2015 by our partner Emergent with up to 130 patients with metastatic castra- tion-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) 1 MorphoSys has control/owns the patent rights for the development candidate 2 In 2013, MOR103 was completely out-licensed to GlaxoSmithKline. After the conclusion of the license agreement, MorphoSys was still responsible for the clinical development of MOR103 in multiple sclerosis in a phase 1b clinical trial. The trial data was presented in September 2014. With the completion of this trial, the compound’s further development lies entirely with GSK. *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 PARTNERED DISCOVERYIn the Partnered Discovery segment, MorphoSys uses technolo-gies for the research, development and optimization of therapeutic antibodies as drug candidates in extensive partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. While the develop-ment costs are borne by the respective partners, MorphoSys is compensated in the form of research financing, milestone pay-ments and potential royalties on product sales of successful programs.The strategic alliance formed with Novartis in 2007 – a pharma-ceutical partner with a growing pipeline of biotechnologically developed drugs – is the Company’s largest alliance to date. This alliance was expanded in 2012 by a further agreement under which the companies will collaborate in the use of MorphoSys’s next generation antibody platform Ylanthia, in order to create therapeutic antibodies. Developing drugs with partners provides MorphoSys with the opportunity to be involved in indications for which the Company lacks proprietary expertise and would normally not pursue a pro-gram itself. Examples of this are: With the HuCAL antibody bimagrumab, developed by its partner Novartis, MorphoSys has a promising treatment in its pipeline for sporadic inclusion body myositis* (sIBM*) and other muscle- wasting disorders. This antibody is currently in a pivotal phase 2/3 trial and received the “breakthrough therapy designation” from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA*), and was also awarded the “orphan drug designation” (in Europe and the USA) for the indication of sIBM.*SEE GLOSSARY page 150With the HuCAL antibody gantenerumab, developed by its part-ner Roche, MorphoSys has a promising treatment for Alzheimer’s disease in its pipeline. Both of the compound’s most advanced trials are examining ways to achieve a positive benefit by inter-vening at an early stage in the disease’s progression. Roche is evaluating the compound in approx. 1,000 patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease. In a second trial, run by the Dominantly In-herited Alzheimer Network (DIAN), the safety, tolerability and bio-marker efficacy in individuals who have a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer’s disease are being assessed. In December 2014, Roche announced the termination of a third phase 3 trial of the compound in prodromal Alzheimer’s patients. The decision was based on a pre-planned futility analysis and a recommendation by the independent Data Monitoring Committee. Currently, there are no drugs that fundamentally improve the course of Alzheimer’s disease, i.e. there is still high unmet medical need for new treat-ment options in this indication.During this reporting year, guselkumab, a HuCAL antibody against psoriasis developed by MorphoSys’ partner Janssen, was brought into phase 3 clinical development. Three different pivotal studies are expected to be completed in 2016.23GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 24 Operations and Business Environment T A B L E Program Name MorphoSys Partner Indication Market Potential Bimagrumab/ BYM338 Novartis Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), cachexia 04 Market Data from Selected Phase 2 and Phase 3 Part- nered Programs Gantenerumab Roche Alzheimer’s disease Guselkumab/ CNTO1959 Janssen/J&J Psoriasis* BHQ880 Novartis Multiple myeloma LFG316 Novartis Age-related macu- lar degeneration (AMD), uveitis VAY736 Novartis Pemphigus vul- garis, primary Sjögren’s syn- drome, relapsing- remitting MS *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 Sporadic inclusion body myositis: • Slowly progressive degenerative inflammatory disease of the skeletal muscles with very low prevalence of 1 – 9/100,000 (orphan disease) • No curative therapy available Cachexia: • Emaciation through degradation of muscle and fatty tissue • 80 % of patients with advanced cancer are affected; responsible for at least 20 % of deaths in cancer patients • High medical need due to lack of disease-modifying drugs • High market growth potential due to aging population, earlier and improved diagnosis, and the advent of accompanying immune therapies that are prescribed in addition to existing therapies • In 2013, 8.4 million1 people suffered from Alzheimer’s disease • Market expected to grow from US$ 3.1 billion in the year 2013 to over US$ 12.7 billion by the year 20231 Psoriasis: • Lifelong disease with high morbidity; has a negative influence on the quality of life • Prevalence: 11.6 million patients in 20131 • Market expected to grow from US$ 6.6 million in 2013 to over US$ 10.7 billion by the year 20231 • Malignant tumor of the bone marrow (also called plasmacytoma) • Incidence: 46,960 patients in 20121 • Market expected to grow to more than US$ 9 billion in 2015 AMD: • Main cause of severe, irreversible visual impairment in the industrialized nations • Prevalence: 2.4 million patients suffered from wet AMD in 20131 and 1.7 million from dry AMD • Market expected to grow from US$ 5 billion in 2013 to over US$ 8.9 billion in the year 20231 Uveitis (inflammation of the iris): • Inflammation of the uvea, which may be caused by autoimmune diseases (also through rheumatoid arthritis) • Affects approximately 1 in 4,500 people and is more prevalent in those between 20 and 60 years of age; men and women are equally affected Pemphigus vulgaris: • Skin disease characterized by blister formation in the lower layers of the epidermis • Very low incidence of 0.5 – 3.2/100,000 (orphan disease) • 10 – 20 % of patients die due to the consequences of side effects from long-term therapy with glucocorticoids and immunosup- pressives Primary Sjögren’s syndrome: • Autoimmune disease* that attacks the salivary and lachrymal glands • Incidence: 3 – 6/100,000 Relapsing-remitting MS: • Chronic inflammatory disease in which the myelin sheaths are attacked in the central nervous system • Prevalence: 700,000 patients in 20131 Program NameMorphoSys PartnerIndicationMarket PotentialLJM716 Novartis Esophageal can-cer, HER2-pos. cancer, solid tu-mors Esophageal cancer:• Neoplasia of the epithelium of the esophagus• Incidence: 10/100,000HER2- positive cancer:• HER2 is a growth factor receptor, which may be overexpressed in patients with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer and may worsen the prognosis for survivalTarextumab/ OMP59R5 OncoMed/GSK Pancreatic cancer • High mortality rate (relative five-year survival rate of 5 %)• Limited therapeutic treatment options• Incidence: 116,500 cases in the year 20121• Market expected to grow from US$ 700 million in the year 2012 to more than US$ 1.3 billion by the year 20231CNTO3157 Janssen/J&J Asthma • Prevalence: 58.1 million patients in 20131• Market expected to grow from US$ 15 billion in 2013 to more than US$ 16.1 billion by the year 20231CNTO6785 Janssen/J&J Rheumatoid arthritis • Inflammatory autoimmune disease which leads to reduced mobility• In 2013, approximately 5.3 million people1 suffered from rheumatoid arthritis• Market expected to grow to more than US$ 18 billion by the year 202011 Seven key markets: USA, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great BritainSources: Datamonitor, Decision Resources, www.pharmatimes.com, Visiongain, Globocan, GBI Research, www.bioportfolio.net, Decision Resources, MedscapeINNOVATION CAPITAL*MorphoSys started its Innovation Capital initiative to combine the traditional investment approach of an industry partner with the cooperative elements of compound development as flexibly as possible. The Company seeks to invest in promising start-ups whose technology and products are aligned with the interests of MorphoSys. Antibodies, technologies to generate antibody-like structures (scaffolds*), proteins and peptides are the primary fo-cus of these activities. Currently, the privately owned biopharmaceutical company Lan-thio Pharma is the only portfolio company. Lanthio Pharma spe-cializes in the research and development of lanthipeptides*. These are a new class of therapeutics demonstrating high target mole-cule selectivity* and improved compound properties. In October 2014, MorphoSys acquired the lanthipeptide technology from Lan-thio Pharma as part of the ongoing collaboration. MorphoSys will use the technology for drug discovery.*SEE GLOSSARY page 150Organizational StructureORGANIZATION OF THE MORPHOSYS GROUPThe MorphoSys Group consists of MorphoSys AG and its subsid-iaries. The Group develops and commercializes high-quality anti-bodies for therapeutic applications. Leading-edge proprietary technologies form the basis of the business segments’ operating activities. The Proprietary Development segment first inde-pendently researches and develops antibody programs which are further developed entirely in-house or brought into partnerships during the clinical phase. In the second business segment, Part-nered Discovery, MorphoSys optimizes therapeutic antibodies for partners in the pharmaceutical industry in return for contractual payments.SEE FIGURE 02, organizational structure of the morphosys groupWith its entry into the commercial register on 13 August 2014 and based on the merger agreement dated 27 June 2014, MorphoSys IP GmbH, as the transferring legal entity, was merged into MorphoSys AG, as the acquiring legal entity, with the effective date of 1 January 2014. 25GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 26 Operations and Business Environment F I G U R E 02 Organizational Structure of the MorphoSys Group M O R P H O S Y S A G Segment PROPRIE TARY DEVEL OPMEN T Segment PAR T NERED DISCOVERY Field of use T HERAPEU T IC AN T IBODIES MorphoSys USA, Inc. was liquidated on 30 September 2014.

Upon the disposal of the majority of the AbD Serotec business to Bio-Rad on 10 January 2013, the quantitative and qualitative crite- ria of IFRS* 8.12 f. were no longer met. As a result, this segment was no longer a reportable segment under IFRS 8.11. Thus, the re- sults generated by the AbD Serotec segment up to 10 January 2013, which were insignificant, were reclassified to “Unallocated.” *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 In the 2014 financial year, the Group only maintained the loca- tion of the parent company, MorphoSys AG, in Martinsried near Munich. This location houses the central Group functions such as accounting, controlling, human resources, legal, patents, corpo- rate communications and investor relations, and the Proprietary Development and Partnered Discovery segments.

Research and Development and Business Development BUSINESS PERF ORMANCE IN 2014 MorphoSys’s business activities are currently heavily focused on strengthening its proprietary product development through ac- cess to new disease-specific target molecules, advanced product candidates and innovative technology platforms. As a research- intensive biopharmaceutical Company, our business performance is closely linked to the results of our compound and technology development. Project progress, regulatory decisions of health au- thorities, preclinical and clinical research results of our propri- etary product candidates, as well as our projects with our part- ners, all provide information on the probability of success and future market potential. Extending and strengthening the exist- ing patent protection of our product candidates and technologies secures this market potential over our competitors. NEW CONTRACTSIn April, MorphoSys announced the start of a strategic partnership with the Moulder Center for Drug Discovery Research, a department of the School of Pharmacy at the American Temple University. The Moulder Center was given access to the MorphoSys Ylanthia technology to validate new disease-related target molecules and generate therapeutic antibodies against them. MorphoSys has an exclusive option to further develop any antibodies resulting from this partnership. The participating department for new bio-therapeutic compound discovery at the Moulder Center deals with the compound’s design and optimization of lead candidates in various disease areas, including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, car-diovascular, metabolic and viral diseases. In 2014, MorphoSys also concluded contracts with industry part-ners. In May, MorphoSys entered into an agreement with the Ger-man drugmaker Merck KGaA to discover and develop therapeutic antibodies against target molecules of the class of immune check-points. MorphoSys and Merck Serono, the biopharmaceutical divi-sion of Merck, agreed to co-develop therapeutic antibodies that are intended to stimulate the immune system to attack tumors (immuno-oncology*). MorphoSys will use its proprietary antibody library, Ylanthia, and other technology platforms to generate anti-bodies against selected target molecules. Merck Serono brings a broad portfolio and expertise in the field of immuno-oncology and clinical development and will be completely responsible for the project starting with phase 1 clinical development. MorphoSys will share the cooperation’s research and development costs and has the option to end the co-development phase at a predetermined time. MorphoSys will receive development and commercial mile-stone payments and tiered royalties on product sales in an amount reflecting the duration of the co-development phase. Merck Serono will be responsible for the commercialization of the resulting products.*SEE GLOSSARY page 150In August, MorphoSys and the American company Emergent BioSolutions Inc. announced an agreement for the co-develop-ment and co-promotion of the MOR209/ES414 compound. This is a bi-specific antibody against prostate cancer. MorphoSys secured the compound’s worldwide promotion rights with the exception of the United States and Canada where Emergent retains promotion rights. Emergent received an upfront payment of US$ 20 million and is entitled to receive potential milestone payments of up to US$ 163 million. Milestone payments are linked to certain events, including the development of MOR209/ES414 in multiple indica-tions and the approval in various markets. MorphoSys and Emer-gent will co-develop MOR209/ES414, with MorphoSys assuming 64 % of the research and development expenses and Emergent as-suming 36 % of these expenses. Emergent will manufacture and supply clinical material from its production facilities in Baltimore, Maryland/USA. Emergent will receive low-single-digit royalties on product sales in the MorphoSys sales regions, and MorphoSys will receive tiered royalties ranging from the mid-single-digits up to 20 % on product sales in Emergent’s sales regions.In October, MorphoSys announced the acquisition of the lanthi-peptide technology from Lanthio Pharma for drug development. The purchase was triggered when MorphoSys exercised an option under an existing agreement between the two companies from November 2012. The decision was based on a feasibility study for the development of high-quality, highly diverse lanthipeptide li-braries. By exercising the option, MorphoSys receives the lanthi-peptide technology and all related patents. Financial details were not disclosed. MorphoSys intends to continue working on an ex-panded lanthipeptide platform in the 2015 financial year. PROJECT INITIATIONS AND PROGRESS, TRIAL EXTENSIONSIn the course of the 2014 financial year, the number of individual therapeutic antibodies in the MorphoSys pipeline grew to a total of 94 (31 December 2013: 81 individual antibodies). Of those, 22 anti-bodies were in clinical development, 27 in preclinical development and 45 in the discovery phase by the year’s end. In the Proprietary Development segment, MorphoSys had ten projects in its portfolio at the end of 2014 (31 December 2013: six). In the Partnered Dis-covery segment, the number of compounds initiated and devel-oped by our partners grew to 84 programs (31 December 2013: 75). 27GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 28 Operations and Business Environment F I G U R E 03 Clinical Studies with MorphoSys Antibodies (31 December) 27 24 24 16 8 p h a s e 1 p h a s e 2 p h a s e 3 11 12 11 8 6 6 1 3 P H A S E 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 PROPRIE TARY DE VELOPME NT In the course of 2014, one new clinical trial with a proprietary de- velopment candidate, MOR208, has been started. At the turn of the year 2013/2014, the Ohio State University’s (OSU) Department of Internal Medicine, led by Prof. Dr. John Byrd, Director of Hematology, initiated a phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MOR208. The trial tests a combination of MOR208 with the approved drug lenalidomide (trade name: Revlimid®, manufactured by Celgene) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). These trials progressed further during the reporting year. The trial is being conducted by the sponsor investigator Dr. Jennifer Woyach, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine at the OSU, and is expected to enroll up to 40 either untreated CLL patients or those with relapsed/refractory acute forms. As an “investigator sponsored trial” (IST) it is largely funded by the study center. MorphoSys only provides the clinical material of MOR208. In 2013, MorphoSys fully licensed the MOR103 program to GlaxoSmithKline, which at the time conducted a phase 1b study in patients with multiple sclerosis. The Company was able to com- plete this study in the reporting year and to report positive data. For the MOR202 program, MorphoSys and its partner Celgene have decided to expand the clinical development plan in multiple myeloma. Cohorts with a weekly dosing schedule, with or without the addition of dexamethasone, will be added to the current dose-escalation trial of MOR202, with a bi-weekly dosing regimen. Cohorts with combination therapy of MOR202 with lenalidomide (trade name: Revlimid®, manufactured by Celgene) and pomalido- mide (trade name Pomalyst®, manufactured by Celgene) will start in the middle of 2015. PAR TNERED DISC OVERY Three antibodies in this segment proceeded into phase 1 clinical development during the 2014 financial year –all from the collabo- ration with Novartis. In February and October, MorphoSys com- municated the successful initiation of clinical trials for two anti- bodies in the field of ophthalmology. Initiation of a phase 1 clinical trial in oncology was announced in December. All three com- pounds are fully human HuCAL antibodies. All of these events triggered milestone payments to MorphoSys. The MorphoSys partner Janssen has brought guselkumab, the HuCAL antibody for the treatment of psoriasis, into phase 3 clini-cal development. Four different phase 3 studies with more than 2,500 patients planned for recruitment were initiated during 2014. According to the study design, three of studies are to be completed in 2016. This underpins Janssen’s previously published plans to submit the compound for approval in the year 2017. The launch of the first phase 3 clinical trial triggered a milestone payment to MorphoSys.MorphoSys’s partner Roche announced the initiation of a new clin-ical phase 3 trial called Marguerite RoAD. This trial will test the gantenerumab compound on up to 1,000 patients suffering from a mild form of Alzheimer’s disease.In addition, the following studies have either been initiated or an-nounced by the MorphoSys partners:• A planned Boehringer Ingelheim phase 1 clinical trial with the HuCAL antibody BI 836845 to test the antibody in combination with the enzalutamide compound on up to 160 prostate cancer patients.• A planned Boehringer Ingelheim phase 1 clinical trial with the HuCAL antibody BI 836845 to test the antibody in combination with the afatinib compound on up to 60 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.• A phase 1 clinical trial with the HuCAL antibody BI 836845 con-ducted in Japan by Boehringer Ingelheim on up to 18 patients with advanced tumors.• A new study conducted by Janssen on the antibody compound guselkumab, in which it will investigate whether genetic analy-sis can predict a response to treatment with the compound in psoriasis patients.• A phase 2 trial with the HuCAL antibody guselkumab conducted by Janssen for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. • A phase 2 trial with the HuCAL antibody bimagrumab initiated by Novartis in the USA, Europe and Japan, in which the com-pound will be tested on up to 210 patients following hip surgery. • A long-term phase 2/3 trial with the HuCAL antibody bima-grumab to examine the efficacy, safety and tolerability in up to 14 patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis who have al-ready received the antibody during an earlier phase 2 trial. This trial is conducted by Novartis.• A phase 1 trial with LJM716, which will be tested in combination with the compounds BYL719 and trastuzumab on up to 48 pa-tients with HER2-positive breast tumors. This trial is conducted by Novartis in collaboration with the US Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center. • A planned phase 1b combination study with the HuCAL antibody PF-05082566 in combination with the anti-CCR4 antibody mog-amulizumab to test the safety and tolerability of the combination in patients with solid tumors. This study is being conducted by Pfizer and Kyowa Hakko Kirin and is scheduled to start in 2015. • A planned phase 1/2 combination trial with the HuCAL antibody PF-05082566 in combination with Merck’s cancer drug MK-3475, a PD-1 inhibitor and conducted by Pfizer and Merck. • MorphoSys’s partner OncoMed was able to continue a previously interrupted phase 1 trial with the antibody compound vantic-tumab using a modified protocol. The decision of the US Food and Drug Administration FDA was announced in August. Changes to the study protocol include a modified dosage regi-men, a change in inclusion criteria, the closer monitoring of patients and measures to counteract the effects on bone metabolism.In addition, the following trials conducted by MorphoSys’s part-ners were stopped:• Novartis withdrew a phase 2 study with bimagrumab for me-chanically ventilated patients before patients were admitted to the trial. • In December 2014, Roche announced the completion of the phase 3 trial of the gantenerumab compound in prodromal Alzheimer’s disease patients. Two other advanced trials in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease and in individuals with a genetic predispo-sition to Alzheimer’s disease are still in progress.Overall, 19 antibody programs in clinical development conducted by partners were tested in more than 50 trials. CLINICAL STUDY DATA FROM CURRENT PROJECTSPROPRIETARY DEVELOPMENTIn September, clinical data from the phase 1b trial in multiple scle-rosis for the MOR103 program (fully out-licensed to GSK) was pre-sented at the ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS meeting. The data substantiated earlier trial results on the tolerance of MOR103 and showed the first signs of efficacy. At the trial’s completion, the full responsi-bility for further development was transferred to the MorphoSys partner GlaxoSmithKline. Therefore, the decision of whether MOR103 will be developed for the indication of multiple sclerosis in addition to rheumatoid arthritis lies with GlaxoSmithKline.29GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 30 Operations and Business Environment In December, MorphoSys published promising clinical data from the ongoing phase 2 study of MOR208 for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). The data was gener- ated from the treatment of 89 patients with four different NHL sub- types and shows that MOR208 was well tolerated as monotherapy and has shown encouraging signs of efficacy. The study examines MOR208 antibody in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL*), man- tle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL*) and other indolent NHL forms. Patients received a weekly dose of the antibody during the first eight weeks of treatment. Patients in which this dosage resulted in at least a stabilization of the disease were given MOR208 for another four weeks. After this 12-week treatment program, patients who responded to therapy switched to maintenance therapy with bi-weekly dosing up to the time of pro- gression. This approach has confirmed promising development options for MOR208, particularly the subtypes DLBCL and FL. In both subpopulations, the administration of the compound demon- strated cases of complete clinical response as well as a partial response. MorphoSys presented further preclinical data at the ASH confer- ence for the MOR202 program which studied a combination of the compound with pomalidomide. The results showed a synergistic interaction between the two compounds and an increased ability to kill cancer cells. The combination of MOR202 and pomalidomide is set for clinical testing during the 2015 financial year. PAR TNERED DISC OVERY MorphoSys’s partner Janssen presented promising data on the anti-inflammatory HuCAL antibody guselkumab at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. The data origi- nated from the X-PLORE study that tested guselkumab in 293 pa- tients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Guselkumab binds specif- ically the target molecule IL-23 and thus differs from Janssen’s approved drug Stelara® which neutralizes IL-23 as well as IL-12. According to the results published, the randomized phase 2b study conducted at multiple study centers and using several dos- ages of guselkumab in comparison to placebo and adalimumab (trade name Humira®, manufactured by AbbVie) achieved the tri- als primary objective. The compound significantly reduced typical psoriasis symptoms in patients after 16 weeks as measured by the Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA) value of 0 (cleared) or 1 (min- imal). A total of 34 % of patients achieved these values at the lowest dose of 5 mg. The best result at a dose of 100 mg was 86 % in com- parison to approximately 7 % in the placebo group and around 58 % when treated with adalimumab. In addition, guselkumab is cur- rently in a phase 2 clinical trial in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). At the ASCO Annual Meeting and the AACR conference – two of the most important international conferences in oncology – data was presented from the trials of several of our partnered pro- grams. The results from programs such as PF-05082566, tarex- tumab, LJM716 and BI 836845 support the development of these projects. MorphoSys’s partner OncoMed published a number of preclinical and clinical research findings during the year on the two HuCAL programs tarextumab and vantictumab. In late September, OncoMed presented clinical data on tarextumab at the Congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) in Madrid. The interim results of ongoing studies substantiated the promising potential of the antibody in the area of pancreatic cancer and non- small-cell lung cancer. REGUL AT ORY EVEN T S PROPRIE TARY DE VELOPME NT In May 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration confirmed the orphan drug status for the MOR208 project for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small-cell lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL*). In addition, MorphoSys has received a positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency EMA* to grant MOR208 the status as a medicinal product for rare disorders (orphan medicinal product) in the same indications. The EMA’s recommendation was confirmed later in the year by the European Commission. *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 The designation “orphan drug” and “orphan medicinal product” are awarded by the US and European health authorities to support the development of promising drug candidates for diseases affect- ing fewer than 200,000 patients in the US or not more than five for every 10,000 people in the European Union. The receipt of this classification is accompanied by benefits such as seven years of market exclusivity following approval in the United States and ten years in the European Union. Other potential benefits may be in the form of support for protocols, the opportunity to apply for re- search funding, tax benefits for certain research expenses and waived fees for regulatory processes. In November, MorphoSys announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had awarded the MOR208 program fast-track designation. The FDA’s fast track program promotes the ac-celerated development and testing of compounds that have the potential to meet unmet medical need of serious or even life-threat-ening diseases. Working more closely with the FDA, which is made possible through this program, could accelerate the develop-ment of MOR208 for patients with this particular type of non-Hod-gkin’s lymphoma.Shortly before the end of the year, the US and European health authorities also confirmed the award of orphan drug and orphan medicinal product status for the MOR208 project for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).The MOR208 compound program was significantly strengthened by the regulatory decisions taken in the course of the financial year, particularly those in the disease areas DLBCL and CLL, for which positive clinical data already exists and new data is ex-pected to be generated. During 2014, there were no relevant regulatory decisions an-nounced by the Partnered Discovery segment. PATENTSDuring the 2014 financial year, MorphoSys continued to consoli-date and expand the patent protection of its development programs and its growing technology portfolio – the Company’s most im-portant value drivers. The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted further pat-ents for the Company’s most recent antibody library, Ylanthia, which has been commercially available for new and existing part-ners since 2012. The first US patent was granted in the first quar-ter of the past year. The State Intellectual Property Office of the People’s Republic of China also granted a patent related to this technology.In addition, MorphoSys acquired the lanthipeptide technology and all related intellectual property from the Dutch company Lanthio Pharma.Currently, the Company maintains more than 40 different propri-etary patent families worldwide in addition to the numerous patent families it pursues in collaboration with its partners. Group Headcount DevelopmentMorphoSys’s success is based on its highly qualified staff and their creativity and motivation. On 31 December 2014 there were 329 employees at the MorphoSys Group (31 December 2013: 299), of whom 124 hold Ph.D. degrees (31 December 2013: 118). The MorphoSys Group had an annual average of 315 employees in 2014 (2013: 290).It is crucial for a company to have a competitive and attractive re-muneration system when competing for the best employees. In or-der for MorphoSys to compete successfully as an employer, an an-nual comparison of the compensation paid in the biotech industry and in other industries comparable with MorphoSys is carried out and, if necessary, the salary structure is adjusted accordingly. On 1 January 2014, an adaptation of the existing remuneration system was launched in order to better meet the changing requirements of a modern compensation system. This adaptation involves a shift of some elements of variable compensation in favor of fixed compen-sation. This adaptation applies to all employees with the exception of the Management Board. Thus, the annual bonus is now linked exclusively to the achievement of corporate goals. A “spot bonus” was also introduced and promptly rewards (“on the spot“) any ex-ceptional accomplishments of employees. The chapter titled “Sustainable Business Development” contains a detailed overview of headcount development and MorphoSys’s activities for promoting successful long-term efforts in human resources.31GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 32 Operations and Business Environment F I G U R E 04 Headcount of the MorphoSys Group (31 December)1 1 2010 to 2012 includes employees of research and diagnostic segment AbD Serotec, which was sold as of 10 January 2013 (closing date) p r o p r i e ta ry d e v e lo p m e n t pa r t n e r e d d i s c o v e r y u n a l lo c at e d 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 300 250 200 150 100 50 464 446 421 299 329 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 E M P L O Y E E S B Y S E G M E N T E M P L O Y E E S B Y F U N C T I O N 193 60 46 169 105 55 e m p l o y e e s i n g e n e r a l & a d m i n i s t r at i v e e m p l o y e e s i n r & d 253 274 46 55 300 250 200 150 100 50 2013 2014 2013 2014 Changes in the Business Environment Uncertainty in the financial markets and geopolitical tensions during the year brought global economic growth to another stand- still. At the end of the year, the OECD reported a rather subdued global growth rate of 3.3 % and growth of a meager 0.8 % for the eurozone. The escalation of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East had a significant negative impact on economic activity, particularly in Europe. In several of the industrialized countries, special factors had a dampening effect on economic development and caused quarterly fluctuations in production. Although the unusually harsh winter in the United States at the start of the year resulted in dwindling economic activity, American economic development picked up again in the course of the year and, according to OECD estimates, entered the new year with a growth rate of about 2.2 %. Japan’s economic development was overshadowed by the VAT in-crease and grew only 0.4 %. In addition to their economic problems, emerging markets suffered from weaker growth momentum. China, however, managed to announce economic growth of around 7 %, but still battled with factors threatening its financial stability.In Germany, the economic environment remained challenging. In November, the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) re-ported some stabilization in the economy and thus a cautiously rising economy.Toward the year’s end, several indicators pointed to a slow rise in global economic activity. The improvement, however, was limited mainly to the advanced economies and especially the United States. In comparison, the economic climate indicators for the whole of Europe and the emerging markets have been mixed until recently. Experts believe that the world economy will continue to expand moderately for the time being but will remain vulnerable to setbacks.The uneven economic recovery in Europe and geopolitical tensions also pose serious risks to the growth of the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. MorphoSys steers its entrepreneur-ial activities while weighing all of the potential risks and opportu-nities, including those in the macroeconomic environment. Never-theless, global political uncertainties did not cause us to refrain from or modify any crucial activities during the past financial year. Fluctuations within individual countries had no influence on MorphoSys’s operations. In this respect, global economic develop-ments had no immediate impact on the Company’s business performance.REGULATORY ENVIRONMENTThe healthcare industry’s regulatory environment is dominated by ever higher standards of product quality, safety and effectiveness, and places high demands on the companies. Novel drugs must demonstrate a significant benefit over existing therapies in order to be approved, gain the acceptance of the market and receive funding from the healthcare system. The industry is also heavily restricted in its pricing due to the legal requirements of the health-care system, which are dominated by the issue of cost savings, particularly in Europe.Despite continued pressure on the industry, the situation in the market seems to be improving gradually, particularly in the USA. In 2014, the US FDA granted approval to 41 drugs – significantly more than in the previous year (2013: 27 drugs). Twenty biotechno-logical compounds were among the compounds approved. This highlights the importance for the industry of continuous innova-tion in order to develop technologically advanced products and optimize treatments already approved.The FDA promotes compounds with exceptional drug potential through measures such as the “breakthrough therapy designa-tion,” introduced in 2013, and the “fast track” program, which help expedite product development and testing. In November, the FDA also issued fast track status to MorphoSys’s proprietary compound MOR208, which is currently in a phase 2 clinical trial for patients suffering from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Closer co-operation with the audit and approval authorities facilitates the targeted development of the antibody and may help to bring it faster to the market.DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND BIOTECHNOLOGY SECTORSThe price pressure on drug suppliers in the past year was clearly evident, especially in competitive indications such as oncology or multiple sclerosis. Competitive pressure on providers in the gener-ics market also grew. Specifically, generic versions of biopharma-ceuticals, called biosimilars, represent an important and increas-ingly competitive growth market. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, as some of the best-selling biological compounds will lose their patent protection. Given the global aging population and market developments in emerging markets such as China and India, the general growth trend in the healthcare industry continues unabated. The US mar-ket research firm IMS Health estimates that the worldwide reve-nues of the pharmaceutical industry in 2014 were well over a tril-lion dollars – an almost 20 % increase over the previous year. At around 40 %, North America still generates the lion’s share of global industry sales.33GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOperations and Business Environment2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 34 Operations and Business Environment The appreciable economic recovery and local healthcare reform had a positive impact on the US market in particular. The US phar- maceutical industry benefited from fewer patent expiries than in previous years, the launch of innovative products and a significant rise in drug prices. The market was particularly excited about the new hepatitis C drug Sovaldi®, which was placed on the market by Gilead Sciences with great success and at a price of approx. US$ 1,000 per tablet. In Europe, the generally weak economic situation and restrained spending in the healthcare sector in connection with some coun- tries’ debt reductions led to comparatively weak revenue growth. The need to promote innovation was also evident in Europe. At least European biotechnology companies made a conservative comeback on the stock markets compared to their peers in the USA. In 2014, ten biotech companies went public on European stock exchanges. The principal reason for this positive develop- ment was the tax incentives available for innovative companies, such as those available in France, and an internationally visible growth segment, such as seen in the UK. Germany could not par- ticipate in this trend, however, and had not one single new IPO from this industry. The stagnation in both sales and research in- vestment in Germany is probably due in part to the rather adverse conditions: Cost considerations are making it increasingly difficult for businesses to establish a proprietary research pipeline due to the absence of tax incentives for research and development and a distinct lack of venture capital. In addition, innovative vendors, also those outside of Germany, are being placed under pressure by the growing generics market. DEVEL OPMEN T OF T HE AN T IBOD Y SEC T OR Antibody compounds in cancer immunotherapy monopolized the headlines in the 2014 financial year. The international ASCO Meet- ing in June was also dominated by these compounds. Roche, Merck & Co., Bristol-Myers Squibb and various other companies pre- sented promising clinical results of studies in areas such as mela- noma, bladder cancer and lung cancer. In 2014, anti-PD1 antibod- ies represented an important class of drugs approaching market readiness. In July, the compound nivolumab, developed by the pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb, received approval in Japan for the treatment of unresectable melanoma. The com- pound pembrolizumab, developed by Merck, Inc. in the USA, is a new antibody for the treatment of patients with malignant mela- noma. This compound received approval in the United States un- der the trade name Keytruda®. With antibodies against the target molecule PCSK9, a class of anti- bodies took a step into the last phase of clinical development in 2014. This opens up a whole new disease area for the treatment of high blood pressure and high cholesterol and demonstrates once more the diversity of these compounds’ potential applications. In addition, the following antibodies were granted approval in 2014: • The angiogenesis inhibitor ramucirumab (trade name: Cyramza®), a first monoclonal antibody for the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer, was approved in the United States. • The compound siltuximab (trade name: Sylvant®) was approved for the treatment of patients with Castleman’s disease. • The antibody vedolizumab (trade name: Entyvio®), used to treat moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, received approval. CURRENC Y DEVEL OPMEN T S In 2014, the euro weakened again as a result of the debt crises. Falling energy prices put even more downward pressure on infla- tion in Europe. This is increasing the worries of monetary author- ities about deflation or a spiral of falling prices and a shrinking economy. Therefore, the European Central Bank decided to pur- chase government bonds in large scale to avert the threat of defla- tion in the euro area. The currency suffered as a result and, at around US$  1.23 in 2014, the euro was at its lowest level since 2010. Since the Company’s business is carried out mainly in euros and US dollars, changes in these two currencies may have an effect on MorphoSys’s costs and revenues in the future. The ongoing weak- ening of the euro against the US$ has a direct impact on the oper- ational result, as costs for clinical studies occur at an increasing extent in the US. Analysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of OperationsAs of 31 December 2014, the scope of consolidation of the MorphoSys Group had changed. Next to MorphoSys AG, the con-solidated financial statements of 31 December 2014 include Sloning BioTechnology GmbH and Poole Real Estate Ltd. (formerly Biogenesis UK Ltd.). Further information on the Group’s organiza-tional structure can be found on page 25.RevenuesCompared to the previous year, Group revenues declined by 18 % to € 64.0 million (2013: € 78.0 million). This decline resulted primar-ily from non-recurring effects in relation to the out-licensing of MOR103 to GlaxoSmithKline and from license fees from the sale of the AbD Serotec business unit to Bio-Rad in 2013.On a geographical basis, MorphoSys achieved 29 %, or € 18.6 mil-lion, of its commercial revenues with biotechnology and pharma-ceutical companies and with non-profit organizations headquar-tered in North America and 71 % or € 45.4 million with customers primarily located in Europe and Asia. In the comparable period of the previous year, these shares were 11 % and 89 %, respectively.SEE FIGURE 05, revenue of the morphosys group by region35GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTAnalysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of OperationsFIGURE05 Revenue of the MorphoSys Group by Region (in %)20132014897120112010819419611292012955EUROPE AND ASIANORTH AMERICA2345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 36 Analysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of Operations PROPRIE TARY DEVEL OPMEN T AND PAR T NERED DIS COVERY SEGMEN T S In 2014, the Proprietary Development segment achieved revenues of €  15.0  million (2013: €  26.9  million). These revenues were mainly from co-development activities with Celgene. The decline in comparison to the previous year was affected significantly by an upfront payment recognized in 2013. This payment resulted from out-licensing the MOR103 antibody program to GlaxoSmithKline. Revenues from the Partnered Discovery segment included € 43.6 million in funded research and license fees (2013: € 48.0 mil- lion) and € 5.4 million in success-based payments (2013: € 3.0 mil- lion). Success-based payments amounted to 8 % (2013: 4 %) of the total revenues of the Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Develop- ment segments. The decline in license fees was driven by a non- recurring effect in the first half of 2013 resulting from the sale of the AbD Serotec business unit to Bio-Rad. As part of this sale, Bio-Rad was granted a non-exclusive license for the use of the HuCAL technology in the market for research reagents* and diag- nostics.

These expenses consisted of research and develop-ment expenses of € 56.0 million (2013: € 49.2 million) and general and administrative expenses of € 14.1 million (2013: € 18.8 mil-lion).Operating expenses increased in the Proprietary Development segment (2014: € 33.5 million; 2013: € 27.5 million) and declined in the Partnered Discovery segment (2014: € 23.0 million; 2013: € 25.5 million).Personnel expenses resulting from share-based payments are in-cluded in general and administrative expenses, as well as in re-search and development expenses. In 2014, these amounted to € 4.0 million (2013: € 5.1 million) and represent a non-cash expen-diture. The decline is primarily due to a change of the calculation methodology for the LTI programs for the years 2011 and 2012 following its implementation in 2013. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSESResearch and development expenses increased by € 6.8 million in 2014 to a total of € 56.0 million (2013: € 49.2 million). These ex-penses were composed of personnel expenses (2014: € 21.0 mil-lion; 2013: € 21.2 million), costs for external laboratory services (2014: € 14.9 million; 2013: € 13.0 million), amortization and other costs of intangible assets (2014: € 8.1 million; 2013: € 5.1 million), expenses for technical infrastructure (2014: € 4.1 million; 2013: € 4.2 million), expenses for third-party services (2014: € 2.7 mil-lion; 2013: € 1.1 million), expenses for consumables (2014: € 2.3 million; 2013: € 2.2 million) and other expenses (2014: € 2.9 million; 2013: € 2.3 million).

This amount comprises cash and cash equivalents of € 32.2 mil- lion (31 December 2013: €  71.9  million), marketable securities and bonds amounting to €  113.5  million (31 December 2013: €  199.5  million) as well as other financial assets totaling € 157.0 million (31 December 2013: € 119.3 million), which were reported in the category “loans and receivables” under “other re- ceivables.” Further investments totaling € 50.0 million categorized as “loans and receivables” were reported on 31 December 2014 as “other receivables” under non-current assets (31 December 2013: € 0 million). The € 37.9 million decline in liquidity, marketable securities and other financial assets was mainly due to the use of cash and cash equivalents for the operating activities in 2014 and for a payment to Emergent.

The decline in current assets of € 84.2 million was mainly due to the use of cash and cash equivalents for operating activities in 2014 and due to an investment in non-current financial assets of € 50.0 million. The majority of cash was invested in various securities. As of 31 December 2014, an amount of € 106.0 million (31 December 2013: € 188.4 million) was invested in various money market funds which were reported in the line item “securities, available for sale.” The line item “bonds, available for sale” contained bonds in the amount of € 7.5 million (31 December 2013: € 11.1 million).Other receivables increased from € 119.5 million as of 31 Decem-ber 2013 to € 157.1 million. This line item mainly included differ-ent types of investments that were classified as “loans and receiv-ables.” The partial amount of € 4.7 million of the purchase price for the divested business AbD Serotec was retained in an escrow ac-count as of 31 December 2013 and released in the third quarter of 2014.In comparison to 31 December 2013, non-current assets increased by € 63.0 million, mainly due to a long-term investment of liquid funds in the amount of € 50.0 million and due to a € 15.4 million rise in intangible assets under development resulting from the payment to Emergent. This increase was partially offset by an impairment of € 4.1 million on patents, licenses and laboratory equipment.LIABILITIESThe decrease in current liabilities from € 35.4 million on 31 De-cember 2013 to € 32.7 million on 31 December 2014 resulted pri-marily from a decrease in the item “tax liabilities” of € 1.9 million and a decline in “deferred revenue” of € 1.2 million. These declines were partially compensated by the increase in “trade payables and accrued expenses” of € 0.6 million.Non-current liabilities (31 December 2014: € 45.0 million; 31 De-cember 2013: € 60.1 million) declined by € 15.1 million in compar-ison to 31 December 2013 mainly due to the decrease in deferred revenue.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY As of 31 December 2014, Group equity totaled € 348.8 million com-pared to € 352.1 million on 31 December 2013. The number of shares issued totaled 26,456,834 as of 31 December 2014 of which 26,005,944 shares were outstanding (31 December 2013: 26,220,882 and 25,880,992 shares, respectively). Compared to 31 December 2013, the number of authorized ordi-nary shares increased from 2,335,822 to 4,957,910. This resulted from the creation of the new Authorized Capital 2014-I at the An-nual General Meeting of 23 May 2014. The number of ordinary shares of conditional capital decreased from 8,057,470 to 7,166,848 as the Conditional Capital 1999-I in the amount of € 70,329 and the Conditional Capital 2008/II in the amount of € 212,077 were can-celed. Conditional Capital 2003-II was reduced by € 372,264 from € 725,064 to € 352,800. A further reduction of Conditional Capital 2003-II of € 235,952 to a total of € 116,848 resulted from the exer-cise of 235,952 conversion rights in 2014. The reduction of Condi-tional Capital through the exercise of 235,952 conversion rights was registered for entry in the commercial register in January 2015.As of 31 December 2014, the value of treasury stock increased by € 7,833,944 to € 14,251,962 compared to its level on 31 December 2013 as a result of MorphoSys’s repurchase of 111,000 of its own shares on the stock exchange. As of 31 December 2014, MorphoSys held 450,890 of its own shares (31 December 2013: 339,890).FinancingAs of 31 December 2014, the Company’s equity ratio amounted to 82 % compared to 79 % on 31 December 2013. Currently, the Group is not financed by debt.Off-Balance Sheet FinancingMorphoSys does not use any off-balance sheet financing instru-ments such as the sale of receivables, asset-backed securities, sale-and-leaseback transactions, or contingent liabilities in combi-nation with non-consolidated special-purpose entities. Credit RatingCurrently, MorphoSys is not being assessed for its creditworthi-ness by any agency. 41GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTAnalysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of Operations345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 42 Analysis of Net Assets, Financial Position and Results of Operations T A B L E 07 Multiple-Year Overview – Balance Sheet Structure1 in million € 12/31/2014 12/31/2013 12/31/2012 12/31/2011 12/31/2010 12/31/2009 Assets Currtent Assets Non-current Assets Assets of Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale Total Equity and Liabilities Current Liabilities Non-current Liabilities Liabilities of Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale Stockholders’ Equity Total 1 Differences due to rounding 322.4 104.1 0 426.5 32.7 45.0 0 348.8 426.5 406.6 41.1 0 447.7 35.4 60.1 0 352.1 447.7 142.9 40.6 40.9 224.3 11.9 6.6 3.7 202.0 224.3 153.9 73.7 0.8 228.4 23.8 7.5 0 197.1 228.4 132.5 77.3 0 209.8 21.4 2.5 0 185.9 209.8 155.6 50.5 0 206.1 24.3 7.9 0 173.9 206.1 Comparison of Actual Business Results to Forecasts In the 2014 reporting year, MorphoSys demonstrated very solid financial performance. The revenue and earnings targets pub- lished at the beginning of the financial year were raised by the Company in October. This upward revision was the result of lower than expected development costs as well as milestone payments from partners that had a direct impact on our results.

As intended, MorphoSys ex- panded its pipeline further and ongoing programs advanced successfully. A number of promising results were announced by the more advanced trials. MorphoSys strengthened its proprietary portfolio through the in-licensing of the promising drug candidate MOR209/ES414 from Emergent BioSolutions and also through the acquisition of the lanthipeptide technology for drug development from Lanthio Pharma. Several collaborations this year verified that the Ylanthia technology of MorphoSys has the potential to win clearly differentiated antibodies against selected target molecules, including a major alliance with Merck Serono in the area of immuno-oncology. In the Partnered Discovery business segment, the projects initi- ated by our partners are developing well. However, shortly before the year’s end MorphoSys’s partner Roche announced it had stopped one of three ongoing phase 3 trials with the Alzheimer’s compound gantenerumab. As a result, potential market approval of gantenerumab may be delayed by several years. This event highlights the advantages of our business model and of a broad pipeline of development candidates. In the 2014 financial year, revenues of the MorphoSys Group reached € 64.0 million. The Company had an EBIT of € – 5.9 million and incurred a loss as a result of the intensified development of its proprietary research pipeline, as already announced. The equity ratio of 82 % and liquidity of € 352.8 million testify to the Compa- ny’s solid financial position. In the reporting year, the Partnered Discovery segment again made the largest contribution to our business success. The Propri- etary Development segment also generated revenue from the part- nerships concluded with GlaxoSmithKline and Celgene in 2013. Due to the successful development of both business segments, MorphoSys has continued to invest significantly in its proprietary product and technology development. These investments were directly reflected in the product pipeline. MorphoSys’s partnered and proprietary pipeline made strong progress. Janssen brought the HuCAL antibody guselkumab into phase 3, whereby MorphoSys already has three programs in pivotal trials. Accounting Judgments In the 2014 consolidated financial statements, no accounting poli- cies were applied nor related options exercised that differed from those in prior years and that, if applied or exercised differently, would have had a material effect on net assets, financial position, or balance sheet structure. Information on the effects of the Man- agement Board’s use of estimates, assumptions and judgments can be found in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  Outlook and ForecastMorphoSys has always enjoyed a solid reputation for its lead-ing-edge technology, but it is the Company’s extensive pipeline that is now becoming the center of attention. By maximizing the number of development programs, MorphoSys raises its future po-tential and limits the risk associated with the development of new drugs.Overall Statement on Expected DevelopmentThe strategic focus of MorphoSys lies in the development of a broad and sustainable pipeline of innovative drug candidates, both on a proprietary basis and with partners. The foundation of these drug candidates is MorphoSys’s established and proven technolo-gies, and the Company continues to invest in their development. In the therapeutic area, the commercialization of these technologies provides cash flows secured by contracts from long-term partner-ships with large pharmaceutical companies. MorphoSys also prof-its from the successful development of drug candidates through milestone payments and royalties from product sales as soon as the drugs reach the market.The Group’s stable cash flow and strong liquidity make it possible to further invest in the proprietary development of drugs and tech-nologies. In the year 2015, the Management Board expects the fol-lowing developments: • Further investment in proprietary product candidates resulting from the start of additional clinical trials. • Continued expansion of proprietary development activities through in-licensing and possibly company acquisitions, co-de-velopment, or new proprietary development. • Investments in technology development to maintain the Compa-ny’s leading position in the field of antibody and related technol-ogies. The Company expects to sign new strategic agreements based on its proprietary technology, with a focus on gaining ac-cess to innovative target molecules and compounds. • Expansion of the therapeutic antibody pipeline as part of the partnership with Novartis.Strategic OutlookMorphoSys’s business model is based on its proprietary technolo-gies, including the HuCAL antibody library, the Slonomics plat-form, the Ylanthia antibody library, as well as the Company’s abil-ity to develop innovative drug candidates. The management at MorphoSys intends to expand the Company’s portfolio of propri-etary drug candidates and will drive investment in this area ac-cordingly. MorphoSys will also continue to concentrate on the use and expansion of its technologies in fast-growing and innova-tion-driven areas of the healthcare sector.In the Proprietary Development segment, MorphoSys develops proprietary therapeutic antibodies in the area of inflammatory dis-ease and oncology. MorphoSys will consider entering into alli-ances for the further development of its proprietary candidates on a case-by-case basis. Under certain conditions, individual projects could remain in proprietary development for an extended period of time and possibly to the point of commercialization.The Partnered Discovery segment generates cash flows secured by contracts based on long-term collaborations. The development of therapeutic antibodies within partnerships will remain a central pillar of MorphoSys’s strategy. The therapeutic pipeline should continue to grow and mature in the years to come and lead to addi-tional milestone payments. The broad pipeline promises an im-pressive number of market-ready, therapeutic antibodies in the coming years and, consequently, financial participation in the form of royalty payments from product sales.In the foreseeable future, MorphoSys will invest the majority of its financial resources in its own R&D activities so that it may expand its portfolio of proprietary compound candidates and strengthen its technology platform.45GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOutlook and Forecast345678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 46 Outlook and Forecast Expected Economic Development According to forecasts by the World Bank, the global economy has not fully recovered from the effects of the financial crisis. In the new world economic outlook, the American organization predicts global growth of about 3 %. The loose monetary policies of central banks and the recovery in labor markets contributed significantly to a recovery in the USA and in the UK. The euro area and Japan are experiencing a hesitant recovery. China is also seeing a slow- down in the tempo of growth. In 2015, falling commodity prices, low interest rates and weaker world trade should become more vis- ible in global growth. Support is coming from the impact of the sharp decline in oil prices. The German economy is expected to strengthen again later this year and the average annual growth in 2015 is expected to reach approximately 1 %. Consumer spending continues to be one of the main reasons for the continued growth. However, the introduction of nationwide minimum wage and pension packages could weaken the labor market and therefore consumption in the future. The weakening of the euro could, however, lead to an increase in Ger- man exports. The US economy regained its former growth momentum and is predicted to see steady growth. Japan, while still lagging the US, China and India, is still the fourth largest economy in the world and will probably see better annual performance in 2015. Another stimulus program of nearly € 25 billion was launched to accelerate economic growth. At the end of 2014, the euro crisis regained importance. Concerns surrounding the stability of the euro area surfaced again after the definite failure of the presidential elections in Greece and the sub- sequent victory by the left-wing populist party SYRIZA in the new elections in January 2015. Should Greece terminate the savings agreements with the EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), speculation would grow about Greece exiting the euro. In addition, the risk premiums for southern European government bonds would increase, which could be critical for Italy, in particular. To prevent a further weakening of the euro exchange rate and counteract the threat of deflation, the European Central Bank re- solved a comprehensive program for the purchase of European government bonds. Bonds with a volume of € 60 billion are to be purchased monthly, and the total volume of the measure adopted amounts to € 1.1 trillion. The aim of the program is to avoid defla- tion, lower the interest rate level of bonds in crisis countries, ease the pressure on government budgets and stabilize the euro in the long-term. Expected Development of the Life Sciences Sector After three very successful years for the biotechnology sector, 2015 is expected to be another year of continued positive develop- ment. Historically low interest rates and a recovering global econ- omy should result in a continued flow of money into the sector. Scientific progress and a better understanding of biological rela- tionships, such as those in the field of immuno-oncology, led to both innovation and new drug approvals. In 2014, four out of ten newly approved drugs were for rare diseases and another 40 % were based on novel mechanisms of action and were new com- pounds. This trend will continue. According to a newly released report “The Global Outlook for Medicines Through 2018” from IMS Health, global spending on pharmaceuticals will increase by 30 % to US$ 1.3 trillion by the year 2018. New drug approvals and innovations, as well as clearer guidelines for approval and a strong demand for novel drugs, will continue to lead to growth in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology indus- tries. The number of approvals could stay at a high level or even increase. Although the average revenue potential of newly ap- proved drugs continues to rise, pricing and reimbursement poli- cies will remain the center of attention. Expected Business DevelopmentThe contractually guaranteed proceeds until at least the end of 2017 from the Novartis agreement, the financial impact of the Celgene contract and our strong liquidity position, will allow MorphoSys to continue concentrating on expanding its partnered pipeline and increasing the value of its proprietary portfolio. Over the next few years, the Company expects to start ten new partnered programs per year on average for its Partnered Dis-covery segment. However, due to the usual attrition rates in drug development, the net growth of the overall pipeline will be some-what lower. Additional partnerships with pharmaceutical and bio-technology companies based on the Ylanthia technology are ex-pected to occur. MorphoSys is striving to gain a larger share in the development activities of these collaborations. These partnerships, including those with academic institutes, are also expected to pro-vide access to new target molecules and therapeutic programs. The approval of a therapeutic antibody based on proprietary tech-nology is not expected before 2016/2017. As one of the first part-ners, Novartis has announced publicly that it may possibly submit the therapeutic antibody bimagrumab (BYM338) for approval in 2016. Approval for guselkumab (CNTO1959), an antibody com-pound being developed by Janssen, may be applied for in 2016/2017.Expected Personnel DevelopmentThe Group’s workforce in the two segments Proprietary Develop-ment and Partnered Discovery is expected to grow by approxi-mately 10 % during the 2015 financial year. Additional staff will be needed for the initiation of additional clinical trials for the Com-pany’s proprietary development programs MOR208, MOR202 and MOR209, the expansion of early proprietary development activi-ties and the development of existing and new technologies such as the lanthipeptide technology.Future Research and Development The Company’s R&D budget for proprietary drug development will rise significantly in 2015 in comparison to previous years. The majority of these investments will flow to the clinical develop-ment of the most advanced drug candidates MOR208, MOR202 and MOR209. Further investments are planned in the areas of target validation and antibody development as well as in the area of tech-nology development.The steps planned for the Company’s proprietary portfolio in 2015 are expected to include: • Continuation of a phase 2 trials of MOR208 in NHL and B-ALL • Initiation of further combination trials for MOR208 in NHL • Continuation of a phase 1/2a trial of MOR202 with additional cohorts with weekly dosing as well as a combination of MOR202 with pomalidomide and lenalidomide • Initiation of the phase 1 trial for MOR209/ES414 in mCRPC as part of the cooperation with Emergent • Continuation of the co-development program for MOR106 with Galapagos • In-licensing of one or more target molecules or compounds for strengthening the proprietary development portfolio • Further development of the lanthipeptide technology • Initiation and continuation of new development programs in the area of antibody discovery and preclinical developmentExpected Development of the Financial Position and Liquidity MorphoSys has a solid financial base and predictable revenues, mainly due to its collaboration with Novartis and its development partnership with Celgene. In addition, MorphoSys receives perfor-mance-based milestone payments upon the successful develop-ment of product candidates. Based on this, the Management Board expects Group revenues for the 2015 financial year in the amount of € 58 million to € 63 million. 47GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTOutlook and Forecast45678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 48 Outlook and Forecast Based on management’s current planning, R&D expenses for pro- prietary programs and the development of technology are ex- pected to increase to a range of €  48  million to €  58  million in 2015. MorphoSys plans to initiate more clinical trials in addition to continuing the trials currently underway for MOR208 and MOR202. The Company expects an EBIT of approximately €  – 20  million to € – 30 million in 2015. This 2015 forecast does not include any additional development costs for newly in-licensed programs. In the years ahead, there will be an increasing impact on net as- sets and the financial position from one-time events, such as the inlicensing and out-licensing of proprietary products, major mile- stone payments and royalties related to HuCAL antibodies that reach the market. Just as such events can cause us to significantly exceed our financial targets; failures in drug development can also have a negative impact on the MorphoSys Group. In the near fu- ture, the Company’s revenue growth will depend on its entry into new partnerships and/or on out-licensing proprietary programs. Starting in 2016/2017, royalties on marketed products could begin to contribute to revenue growth. At the end of the 2014 fiscal year, the liquidity position of MorphoSys amounted to €  352.8  million (31 December 2013: € 390.7 million). The decrease in the liquidity position was due to investment in the Company’s proprietary research and develop- ment. In connection with the estimated negative financial result for 2015, the liquidity position is expected to further decrease. MorphoSys sees the advantage of having a strong liquidity posi- tion that can be used to accelerate future growth through strategic measures, such as the in-licensing of compounds and investments in promising companies. The funds can also be used to increase investment in the Company’s proprietary portfolio of therapeutic antibodies. DIVIDENDS The financial statements of MorphoSys AG under German account- ing principles report an accumulated profit which can be used for distribution. With the estimated losses for 2015, the Company will no longer report an accumulated profit. MorphoSys will continue to invest in the development of proprietary drugs as well as in further in-licensing and acquisition projects in order to continue to create shareholder value and open up new growth opportunities. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate paying a dividend in the foreseeable future. This outlook is based on the assumptions of the Management Board and takes into account all factors which were known at the time of preparing this Annual Report and those which could influ- ence our Company in the year 2015 and in the years thereafter. Future results may differ materially from expectations, which are described in the section “Outlook and Forecast.” The most import- ant risks are discussed in the risk report. Shares and the Capital MarketMorphoSys shares performed in line with the development of our pipeline and were extremely positive during the 2014 financial year. The shares rose to a multi-year high of € 86 and above in mid-December 2014. The market capitalization* of MorphoSys AG reached € 2 billion in September 2014. In December 2014, with the termination of one of three trials with the Alzheimer’s disease candidate gantenerumab by MorphoSys’s partner Roche, the share price declined until the year’s end by almost 12 % from its highest level, but still gained 37 % for the full year. Thus, MorphoSys shares outperformed the benchmark indices: During the same period, the TecDAX* rose 18 % and the NASDAQ Biotech Index* increased 34 %.Stock Market DevelopmentThe year 2014 was a turbulent year for the stock market, particu-larly in Europe. Economic fears dominated the eurozone and polit-ical uncertainties weighed heavily on the export-led German economy. The US stock markets, however, delivered an impressive performance during the reporting year due to strong economic data. In the US alone, there were nearly US$ 9.3 billion in proceeds from 106 IPOs executed by companies in the life science* industry (2013: US$ 7 billion, 52 IPOs). In 2014, as in previous years, the US market was a focus of MorphoSys’s investor relations activities due to strong interest in investing in biotechnology companies.*SEE GLOSSARY page 150Liquidity and Index MembershipThe average daily trading volume of MorphoSys’s shares across all trading platforms in the regulated market has nearly doubled in 2014 compared to the previous year, rising to € 11.9 million (2013: € 6.9 million). This development is associated with a higher inter-est in the stock and due to the increase in share price during the year. On the TecDAX, the index for the 30 largest technology stocks on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the trading volume of the average shares traded also grew more than 40 %. MorphoSys was able to further consolidate its position in the TecDAX in 2014. By the end of the year, MorphoSys ranked 9th in terms of trading volume (year-end 2013: ranked 11th) and ranked number 8 mea-sured in terms of market capitalization (year-end 2013: ranked 7th).In addition, the daily trading average on the alternative trading platforms (“dark pools”) amounted to approximately 61,900 MorphoSys AG shares valued at € 4.4 million in 2014 (2013: ap-prox. 35,000 shares valued at € 1.6 million).Common StockThe Company’s common stock increased to 26,456,834 shares or € 26,456,834.00 in 2014. This increase resulted from the exercise of 235,952 convertible bonds. Until the year 2010, MorphoSys issued stock options and non-in-terest-bearing convertible bonds under its employee incentive pro-gram. In 2011, this plan was converted into a performance share plan. The Company repurchases shares annually for this plan. A detailed description of this program can be found in the Corporate Governance Report of this Annual Report. In April 2014, 32,513 performance shares were issued to the Management Board and the Senior Management Group under the long-term incentive plan (LTI plan).

During the reporting year, no additional stock options were issued to the Management Board, members of the Senior Management Group or the workforce.49GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTShares and the Capital Market45678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 50 Shares and the Capital Market F I G U R E 09 Performance of the MorphoSys Share in 2014 12/18/2014 HIGHES T LEVEL +51.7 % 04/15/2014 L OWES T LEVEL -3.0 % F I G U R E 10 Comparison of the MorphoSys Share Price Development with Benchmark Indices between 2010 and 2014 170 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 550 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 (1 January 2014 = 100 %) m o r p h o s y s n a s d a q b i o t e c h n o l o g y i n d e x t e c d a x JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC (1 January 2010 = 100 %) m o r p h o s y s n a s d a q b i o t e c h n o l o g y i n d e x t e c d a x 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 International Investor BaseDuring the reporting year, various voting right notifications were issued in accordance with Sections 21, 25 and 26 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). These notifications were published on the MorphoSys website under the heading Media & Investors – Stock Information – Shareholder Structure. According to the definition given by the Deutsche Börse, at the end of the reporting year 92.7 % of the shares of MorphoSys AG were in free float. Novartis Pharma AG (Basel, Switzerland) held about 5.6 % and Celgene Netherlands II BV (Amsterdam, The Nether-lands) about 3 % of the shares. The share of international institu-tional investors stayed at approx. 70 %. According to the latest voting rights announcement, our largest additional single share-holders were Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance (Oppen-heimer Funds, Springfield, MA, USA) holding 4.98 %, Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund (New York, NY, USA) holding 4.89 %, Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (Edinburgh, UK) holding 3.1 % and Invesco Advisers Inc. (Atlanta, GA, USA) holding 3 %.An overview of the current shareholder structure is also accessible on the Company’s website (Media & Investors – Stock Informa-tion – Shareholder Structure).Annual General MeetingOn 23 May 2014, the Management and Supervisory Boards of MorphoSys AG welcomed shareholders to the Company’s 16th Annual General Meeting in Munich. The shareholders and proxies attending represented nearly 48 % of the common stock of MorphoSys AG (2013: 41.6 % of the common stock represented). All nine agenda items submitted for resolution were adopted by a clear majority. This year, the Annual General Meeting is scheduled for 8 May 2015 and will take place again in Munich.TABLE09Key Data for the MorphoSys Share (31 December) 20142013201220112010Total Stockholders’ Equity (in million €)348.8352.1202.0197.1185.9Number of Shares Issued (number)26,456,83426,220,88223,358,22823,112,16722,890,252Market Capitalization (in million €)2,0271,464685405424Closing Price in € (Xetra)76.6355.8529.3017.5318.53Average Daily Trading Volume (in million €)111.96.91.91.81.1Average Daily Trading Volume (in % of Share Capital)10.650.590.380.380.261 Figures from 2010 to 2011 only include trading on Xetra and German regional exchanges.51GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTShares and the Capital Market5678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 52 Shares and the Capital Market Investor Relations Activities In the course of the 2014 financial year, MorphoSys further in- creased its communication with the capital markets. The Company presented at 26 international investor conferences and at a number of road shows and individual meetings in Europe and the US. The greatest interest was seen in the USA, where a large number of specialized healthcare investors have their headquarters. At the publication of the annual, half-yearly and quarterly results, the Management Board also held telephone conferences where they reported on past and future business developments and answered questions from analysts and investors. Of particular interest at the investor meetings, aside from the gen- eral progress of the drug pipeline, was the development of the pro- prietary portfolios, which included ten active programs at the end of the reporting year. At the end of the year, as in the prior year, there were a total of 11 analysts monitoring and evaluating the development of the MorphoSys share. MorphoSys took first place for the TecDAX in the competition “Investors’ Darling 2014 – Capital Market Strategist of the Year” in which Manager Magazine and the Handelshochschule Leipzig evaluated the capital market communications of all index-listed stock companies. Next to the quality of classical financial report- ing and the IR website, the evaluation also included investor pre- sentations and capital market performance. More detailed information on the MorphoSys share, the financial ratios, the Company’s strategic direction and the recent develop- ments in the Group may be found on the Company’s website (“Me- dia & Investors”).

The Company sees sustainability as an environ-mental and social responsibility towards present and future gener-ations. As a research-based biotechnology company, adherence to the highest environmental, social and ethical standards goes hand in hand with long-term economic success. This chapter outlines the measures that have been taken during the reporting year to meet these standards. Information on the management structure and the corporate governance practices of MorphoSys can be found in the Corporate Governance Report.Sustainable Corporate ManagementA hallmark of MorphoSys’s corporate management is sustainable and responsible behavior in order to add important value to soci-ety. This is true at all levels of management from both a short- and long-term perspective. This goal is inherent to the Company’s core activity of developing ever more effective and safer drugs. In daily operations, high value is placed on working in harmony with strict ecological and social principles. Therefore, MorphoSys follows a business model aimed at sustainable growth that protects the in-terests of its shareholders, creates long-term value and evaluates processes in terms of their effect on the environment, society, pa-tients and employees. Internally, this business model is reflected in our forward-looking human resources policy, which takes the needs of the employees seriously.MorphoSys bases its long-term and sustainable business success on targeted and innovative research and development. Biotechno-logically produced drugs command an increasing share of the healthcare of a growing and aging population. Comprehensive healthcare is one of the main challenges of the future and MorphoSys can make a valuable contribution through its drug can-didates. In management’s opinion, MorphoSys’s present business model does not contain any components which are contrary to the sustainable investment interests of the shareholders.A comprehensive risk management system ensures that factors which could threaten sustainable corporate performance are iden-tified at an early stage and that appropriate countermeasures are taken, if necessary. MorphoSys only assumes a risk if there is ample opportunity to increase the enterprise value. At the same time, tremendous effort is being made to systematically identify new opportunities and to leverage our business success (more in-formation on risks and opportunities can be found on page 61).The entire Management Board, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, monitors compliance with the sustainability strategy Group-wide. The Credo as part of the Code of Conduct regulates the implementation of the strategy by employees in daily opera-tions. It is valid for all employees of the Group and is available in German and English. Routine employee training on the Code of Conduct in general and on specific sections of the Code ensures that the guidelines are understood and implemented. The Code of Conduct Committee consists of four members (the Chairperson and three other members) who are at the disposal of and may be contacted by all employees. A Compliance Officer coordinates the Compliance Management System. Detailed information on this topic can be found on page 85 of the Corporate Governance Re-port. Each employee can receive advice on all matters relating to legal compliance and corporate responsibility and report sus-pected cases or violations. This may be done on an anonymous basis, if preferred. Breaches of compliance are earnestly pursued and appropriate countermeasures are taken. However, no such violation has been reported to date, and the Company believes serious offenses that could materially affect the Group’s net assets, financial position and results of operations are unlikely in the future.Detailed information on the SD KPIs used by MorphoSys can be found in the section “Strategy and Group Management” (p 16). The following report on the implementation of the corporate strat-egy of MorphoSys and its sustainable business development also follows the recommendations of the German Sustainability Code. These recommendations were originally presented by the Council for Sustainable Development in October 2011 with an updated ver-sion in October 2014.53GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTSustainable Business Development5678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 54 Sustainable Business Development Non-Financial Performance Indicators E T HIC AL S TANDARDS AND COMMUNIC AT ION WI T H S TAKEHOL DERS The highest scientific and ethical principles when conducting hu- man clinical trials or animal testing are anchored in MorphoSys’s Code of Conduct. Above all, the Company follows the “Declaration of Helsinki” of the World Medical Association (WMA). Strict com- pliance with nationally and internationally applied regulations is mandatory for all MorphoSys employees as well as for sub-con- tractors. Since European legislation requires the use of animal testing to determine the toxicity*, pharmacokinetics* and pharmacodynam- ics* of a compound candidate, the biotechnology industry cannot forgo such testing. MorphoSys does not have research laboratories of its own that are suitable for animal trials. Therefore, the Com- pany passes these trials on to contract research organizations (CROs*). In the course of its product development activities, MorphoSys contracts out animal trials according to the principles of good animal welfare and the respectful treatment of animals as set out in national and European regulations. MorphoSys has launched a quality assurance and control system with written standard operating procedures (SOPs). This system is maintained and continually improved to ensure that only those contract re- search organizations that follow the local, national and interna- tional regulations are contracted for animal studies. Trials are only carried out after the approval of the relevant ethics committee concerned and under the constant supervision of a veterinarian. Institutes cooperating with MorphoSys must comply with the legal requirements for research involving animals and, under certain circumstances, also possess the quality assurance verification of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP*). This is how MorphoSys ensures that it is fulfilling its moral obligation for the respectful treatment of animals. In addition, as part of auditing, the trial sites, contract research institutes, the training and competency of the relevant staff, as well as animal welfare are all verified on location and conducted prior to the final award of the contract. The Declaration of Helsinki mentioned above also defines the eth- ical principles followed by MorphoSys in dealing with healthy vol- unteers and patients during clinical trials. These trials are also carried out in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP*). The trials are carried out in compliance with the relevant provisions on privacy and confidentiality. Respect for the rights, safety and wel- fare of all participants involved in clinical trials has the highest priority at MorphoSys. Clinical trials are initiated only after ap- proval by the independent ethics committee concerned and/or the institutional review panel. Before participating in a clinical trial, each participant must voluntarily submit an informed consent. *S E E G L O S S A R Y pa g e 1 5 0 The goal of MorphoSys’s business activities is to improve the health of patients through its scientific work. However, the Com- pany can only reach this objective if its activities also find social acceptance. This requires a continuous and open dialog with stakeholders in order for MorphoSys to understand the potential concerns regarding biotechnological approaches and so that it may explain its activities and their benefits. Consequently, MorphoSys is active in a variety of ways which range from participation in public information events to active support for the Communication and Public Relations task force of BIO Deutschland e.V. PROCUREMEN T The Department of Central Purchasing and Logistics is responsi- ble for the purchase of external goods, services, consulting and logistics services for MorphoSys. Last year the department in- stalled a considerable number of new systems and processes to increase the long-term efficiency of its procurement management and to establish cost-effective purchasing solutions. In 2014, sev- eral preferred partnerships with suppliers were strategically strengthened through the introduction of special framework agreements. All suppliers selected by MorphoSys undertake to comply with all anti-corruption standards, human rights prac- tices, internationally recognized labor standards and data protec- tion laws. In the reporting year, the activities of the Department of Central Purchasing and Logistics secured savings of approxi- mately 7 % of the expenditures incurred in 2014. ENVIRONMEN TAL PRO T EC T ION AND OCCUPAT IONAL SAFE T Y In an industry subject to stringent regulatory requirements, envi- ronmental protection and occupational safety are the key tasks of Group management. The department of environmental protection and occupational safety monitors the compliance with all relevant requirements Group-wide. Beyond the Company’s strict compli- ance with all legal requirements, MorphoSys has also initiated a number of Group-wide efforts for sustainable environmental man- agement and the effective protection of its employees. A central task is the conservation of resources. In 2014, MorphoSys participated once again in the survey of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for monitoring internal resource consumption. For the sixth consecutive year, the Company took part in the study of this independent non-profit organization whose aim is to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the sustainable use of water sup-plies. Once again, the study results showed that it was not neces-sary for the Company to take any action. Nevertheless, MorphoSys uses the annual study results to routinely observe its consumption in an organized manner. This makes it easier for the Company to promptly correct any excessive consumption. Any resource con-servation measures implemented in the past were also actively pursued in the reporting year. These measures included energy and cost saving screenings, energy-efficient laboratory equipment and measures for the economical use of paper and printer toner.55GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTSustainable Business DevelopmentFIGURE11 Occupational Safety at MorphoSysONLY SPECIALLY TRAINED EMPLOYEES ARE ALLOWED TO WORK WITH TOXIC SUBSTANCESPATHOGENIC ORGANISMS ARE PROCESSED IN LABORA-TORIES WITH PARTICULAR SAFETY STANDARDSLOWEST POSSIBLE AMOUNTS OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES USEDONLY CERTIFIED COMPANIES ARE AUTHORIZED BY MORPHOSYS TO DISPOSE OF CHEMICAL WASTEINTRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS FOR R&D PURPOSES:• A dedicated biosafety team as defined by the “Gentechnik Sicherheitsverordung” (German Genetic Engineering Safety Directive) and other safety professionals perform an internal audit to assess the risk involved• Specific safety and evacuation training for the employees working with the substances• Assurance that all safety measures are implemen-ted before actual work commences!678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 56 Sustainable Business Development In 2014, MorphoSys again supported the joint initiative “Bike to Work” sponsored by a German health insurance company and the German Bicycle Club (ADFC). Because of this commitment, MorphoSys has been certified as a “bicycle-friendly operation” for the fifth consecutive time. In addition to this initiative, employees were offered an extensive range of preventative healthcare and health-promoting activities such as autogenic training, Pilates, back muscle training, ball sports, participation in marathons, etc. In seminars and lectures accompanied by psychologists, the staff was made familiar with the topic of mental stress and other types of stress. In an exploratory survey carried out at the end of 2014, all employees were asked to evaluate their current level of psycho- logical distress in the workplace. This analysis intended to serve as a leading indicator in order to initiate the necessary corrective measures on a timely basis. With two reportable accidents, the number of occupational acci- dents in the reporting year equaled the previous year’s level. This rate is well below the average rate in Germany (14.5 accidents per 1,000 full-time employees as reported in the latest survey in 2013). MorphoSys tries to minimize the amount of pollutants used in lab- oratory work. Only a specially trained group of people are permit- ted to deal with toxins. Work involving contagious pathogens can only be carried only in secure laboratories. For the disposal of chemical waste, MorphoSys commissions only those companies certified to dispose of chemical waste. MorphoSys also refrains from labeling antibodies with radioactive substances. QUAL I T Y ASSURANCE It is the special responsibility of a biopharmaceutical company to adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety. MorphoSys follows detailed procedures and strict rules to avoid any security risks in drug development that may pose a serious threat to the patient and, thus, to the economic situation of the Company. This is how the Company guarantees the quality of the compound being tested, keeps the risks to participants of clinical trials as low as possible and ensures that the data can be collected reliably and correctly processed. In order to control and regulate these processes, MorphoSys cre- ated an integrated quality management system for its proprietary development department that follows the principles of Good Manu- facturing Practice (GMP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). An independent quality assurance de- partment ensures that all development activities comply with na- tional and international laws, rules and regulations. The Quality Assurance Manager reports to the CEO and coordinates all activi- ties directly with him. This helps us to achieve the high-quality standards that guarantee product quality, data integrity and en- sures the safety of the subjects. The Quality Assurance department created a verification proce- dure using a risk-based approach. Based on this procedure, an au- dit is carried out on a selection of contract research institutes, sup- pliers and research sites included in the clinical trials, as well as on MorphoSys’s own departments. For its proprietary development activities, MorphoSys has a manu- facturing license for the approval of tested compounds. The Com- pany has also been issued a certificate by the German authorities of the Government of Upper Bavaria confirming its compliance with the standards and guidelines of Good Manufacturing Prac- tice (GMP). IN T EL L EC T UAL PROPER T Y The proprietary technology and the ensuing drug candidates are MorphoSys’s most valuable asset. Therefore, it is critical to the Company’s success that these assets are protected by the corre- sponding patents and other appropriate measures so that they may be efficiently and exclusively utilized. MorphoSys’s key technologies – HuCAL, Ylanthia and Slonomics – form the Company’s basis for success. Each single technology is protected by a number of patent families, which, in turn, are com- plemented by various independent technology patents. Most of these have now been issued in all major markets, including in the Asian markets, such as China. The spectrum of technology patents was enhanced sustainably in October 2014, with the acquisition of the lanthipeptide technology from Lanthio Pharma. Our portfolio of development programs was also strengthened this financial year by the licensing agreement with Emergent BioSolutions for the co-development and co-promotion of the drug candidate MOR209/ES414. Like other proprietary development programs, this program is protected by a variety of patents and applications that address various aspects of the molecules and their use. The development candidates MOR103 (out-licensed to GSK) and MOR202 (in partnership with Celgene) are each pro- tected by more than half a dozen different patent applications covering different aspects of the compounds and thus provide effective protection. The relevant patents and associated protec- tion certificates are expected to expire by the year 2031. The MOR208 program is also protected by various patents lasting until their scheduled maturity. Excluding any potential patent office or regulatory extensions, this would mean the patent in the United States would run until the year 2029 and, in the case of the Euro- pean patent, until 2027. Excluding any possible patent office or regulatory extensions, patent protection for MOR209/ES414 is scheduled to run until at least 2032, assuming pending applica- tions are granted. The programs that are developed in conjunction with or for part-ner companies are also protected by comprehensive patent protec-tion. There is close cooperation between the patent department of MorphoSys and the corresponding partners. All drug development programs have a term that greatly exceeds the term of the under-lying technologies.Currently, MorphoSys’s patent lawyers are maintaining more than 40 different patent families, in addition to the numerous patent families pursued by the Company together with its partners. The patent portfolio is regularly analyzed and adapted to the Compa-ny’s corporate strategy.PERSONNELMorphoSys relies on a future-oriented personnel policy in order to bind professionally and personally suitable employees from differ-ent disciplines to the Company. In an industry such as biotechnol-ogy, in which success relies heavily on the creativity and commit-ment of the workforce, employee retention and satisfaction are crucial factors for success. At the end of the financial year, the staff at MorphoSys comprised employees from 22 different nationalities (2013: 18), who have belonged to the Company for 5.8 years on average (2013: 5.4 years).*SEE GLOSSARY page 15057GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTSustainable Business DevelopmentFIGURE12 Quality Management System at MorphoSysMANAGEMENT BOARDCORPORATE REQUIREMENTS/DEPARTMENTAL REQUIREMENTS§REGULATORY REQUIREMENTSQUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS1234567 1Training and Qualification 2Self Inspection/ Internal Audits 3Documentation System 4Handling of Deviations, Change Control, Complaints, Out of Specification (OOS) and Recalls 5Batch Record Review/Batch Release 6SOP System 7External Audits (CMO*, CTO*, CRO*, clinical trial sites)678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 58 Sustainable Business Development F I G U R E 13 Seniority (average duration in years) F I G U R E 14 Employees by Gender in 2014 5.39 5.80 2013 2014 66% Previous year: 64 % 34% Previous year: 36 % (number) 6 4 26 22 (number) 39 43 4 4 T RAINEE S EXECU T IVE S T RAINEE S EXECU T IVE S 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 Opportunities for extensive training, internal and external train-ing programs, special training and development programs and visiting conferences are available to employees of the various de-partments. In addition to technical training, MorphoSys also pro-motes the personal development of its employees. In some cases, this can include individualized coaching.Executives assuming management responsibility at MorphoSys for the first time are required to take part in management semi-nars explicitly designed for MorphoSys. This training is offered in a group of several thematically related courses. The goal is to pro-vide participants with not only theoretical management knowl-edge, but also special knowledge that the Company expects its executives to know. In 2014, as in the previous year, a two-day workshop took place for all MorphoSys managers. Under the motto “Entrepreneurship,” there were discussions on the Company’s strategy and its imple-mentation, process optimization, goal-oriented problem-solving and creativity management. By the end of this workshop, manag-ers had jointly prepared the basis for a Company-wide mission statement detailing the corporate goals, core values and drivers for the day-to-day work activities.MorphoSys also actively promotes a career path for specialists and experts. This type of career promotion succeeds in maintaining flat hierarchies – even without staff responsibility. The goal is to give equal footing to traditional management career paths and professional careers, as well as to title and compensation structures.MorphoSys offers in-house vocational training in order to open up the prospects for a promising career, especially for young people. Equal consideration is even given to students without a diploma for occupations requiring training. As of 31 December 2014, MorphoSys had two trainees in its IT department and six trainees learning to become biology laboratory assistants (31 December 2013: three IT trainees; six trainees learning to become biology laboratory assistants; and one trainee training as a personnel ser-vices clerk).As explained on page 31, the remuneration structure was adjusted for all employees in 2014. The annual bonus is now linked exclu-sively to the achievement of corporate goals. The individual perfor-mance of each employee is monitored by agreed personal targets and continues to be a key element of individual development. Em-ployees showing extraordinary performance or outstanding ideas are now rewarded promptly with an on-the-spot bonus payment in the form of cash, vouchers, or gift certificates for leisure activities.Transparent communication within the workforce is a permanent component of MorphoSys’s corporate culture, as stated in the prin-ciples (Credo) of the Company. Every two weeks, general meetings are held, in which the Management Board shares the latest Com-pany developments with all employees. Employees present se-lected projects followed by an open question and answer session. Questions and feedback from the workforce can be taken directly in the meeting or submitted in advance in writing – anonymously if desired. In addition, the Company’s intranet with its integrated document management system provides all employees current relevant information in an organized manner.In two-day introductory courses, new employees are made famil-iar with the Group and can become fully aware of the Company’s business processes by taking advantage of the information and individual presentations provided by all departments.Free exercise and relaxation options, such as Pilates lessons or courses on autogenic training, promote health and socializing among employees beyond the departmental boundaries.Appropriate policies for reconciling professional development with personal life are a strategic success factor for future-oriented com-panies. For several years, MorphoSys has therefore been offering employees a variety of options, such as flexible working hours and individual part-time packages. Modern IT equipment also allows employees to work seamlessly while traveling on business or from their home office. MorphoSys makes it easier for employees with family to re-enter into the work life through special offers and helps them combine work and family life. MorphoSys is a co-founder of the “BioKids” kindergarten in Martinsried. There are also special arrangements through a German service provider of-fering additional services for working family members. 59GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTSustainable Business Development678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 60 Sustainable Business Development MorphoSys makes every effort to protect employees from work- place hazards and maintain their health through preventive mea- sures. The extremely low number of occupational accidents demon- strates the success of our strict supervision of all occupational health and safety measures. During the year under review, as in the prior year, there were two reportable accidents at work. MorphoSys tries to keep the number of accidents at this low level and the safety and well-being of all employees at the highest level possible. The Company does this through policies and training provided by the Department of Health & Safety and by offering routine medical examinations. The fall in attrition rate in the re- porting year to 5.6 % (2013: 5.8 %) is another indication of employ- ees’ strong identification with the Company. F I G U R E 15 Labor Turnover Rate (in %) 5.81 5.60 2013 2014 Risk and Opportunity ReportMorphoSys belongs to an industry characterized by constant change and progress. The challenges and opportunities in the healthcare industry are influenced by a wide variety of factors. Global demographic changes, medical advances and the desire for an ever increasing quality of life, all provide solid growth pros-pects for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Grow-ing regulatory requirements in the field of drug development and the cost pressure on health systems in particular must also be taken into account.MorphoSys strives to systematically identify new opportunities and utilize them for business success and generate a long-term increase in enterprise value. However, entrepreneurial success is not possible without conscious risk taking. Through its worldwide operations, MorphoSys is subject to a number of risks that may affect its business. MorphoSys’s risk management system identi-fies these risks, evaluates them and takes the appropriate mea-sures to avoid these risks and achieve its corporate objectives. Regular strategy review ensures that the opportunities and risks are well balanced. MorphoSys only assumes a risk if it also offers the Company an opportunity to increase its value.Risk Management SystemThe risk management system is a central component of MorphoSys’s corporate governance and serves to ensure the prin-ciples of good corporate governance and the fulfillment of regula-tory requirements.MorphoSys has a comprehensive system in place to identify, as-sess, communicate and handle risks safely in all parts of the Com-pany. Its risk management system identifies risks early, allowing the appropriate action to be taken to limit operating losses and avoid any risks that could jeopardize the Company’s existence. All measures used to minimize risk are assigned to individual risk officers, most of whom belong to the Senior Management Group of MorphoSys.As part of a systematic risk assessment process, all important risks concerning the Company’s different business segments and the Company as a whole are assessed. These risk assessments are held twice a year. Risks are assessed by comparing their quanti-fiable financial impact on the MorphoSys Group and their proba-bility of occurrence with or without the initiation of a risk minimi-zation process. This methodology is applied for an evaluation period of twelve months and over a medium-term period of three years in order to include obligations taken on for the Company’s proprietary development with longer maturities. In addition, the expanded strategic risk assessment is based on a long-term period of more than three years. An overview of MorphoSys’s current risk assessment can be found in tables 11 and 12.Risk managers enter their risks into a Group-wide IT platform, which makes monitoring, analyzing and documenting risk much easier. The risk management system distinguishes between risk owners and risk managers. A risk owner is usually the relevant department head (typically a member of the Senior Management Group). Department employees can also be risk mangers if the risks that fall under their area of responsibility are recognized by the risk management system. Risk owners and risk managers are asked to update and reevaluate their risks at half-yearly intervals. The process for this is coordinated and managed by the Corporate Finance & Corporate Development department. This department also oversees the assessment process, summarizes the main con-tents and presents them to the Management Board and the Super-visory Board on a regular basis. The entire evaluation procedure is based on standardized evaluation methods. The system was im-proved in the reporting year by adding a “heat map.” The heat map represents graphically the effectiveness of the controls imple-mented for the five major risks (one-year and three-year view). Thus, the effects of the monitoring activities for the various risks can be graphically visualized. Risk management and the monitor-ing of operations are carried out by the individual managers. The changes in the risk profile brought about by these measures are recorded at regular intervals. A periodic audit by external con-sultants ensures that the risk management system is being devel-oped steadily and that possible changes in Company’s risk areas are promptly corrected. The risks and opportunities management 61GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTRisk and Opportunity Report678GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 62 Risk and Opportunity Report system consists of a bottom-up method to identify short- and me- dium-term risks, as well as a top-down approach in the area of strategic risks and opportunities. The top-down approach system- atically identifies global strategic risks and opportunities to get a complete picture of the opportunities and risks. Examples of these risks include environmental and industry risks, personal risks and risks that may result from the public perception of the Com- pany. Twice a year, at the same regular intervals used for recogniz- ing other risks, a workshop on the top-down approach takes place with selected members of the Senior Management Group. This workshop addresses various areas of the Company and recognizes and discusses strategic risks and opportunities, also those occur- ring over a period of three years and more. The evaluation process is exclusively qualitative. A presentation of these risks is listed in table 12. Responsibilities under the Risk and Opportunity Management System The Management Board of MorphoSys AG is responsible for the risk and opportunity management system. The Board ensures that all opportunities and risks are presented, evaluated and monitored in a comprehensive manner. The Department of Corporate Finance & Corporate Development coordinates the implementation of these measures and routinely reports to the Management Board. The Su- pervisory Board has appointed the Audit Committee to monitor the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management system. The Audit Committee routinely reports its findings to the entire Supervisory Board, which is also informed by the Management Board twice a year. Principles of Risk and Opportunity Management Accounting-Related Internal Control System MorphoSys always encounters both risks and opportunities. This may cause a tangible impact on net assets and financial position or have a direct influence on intangible assets, such as the Com- pany’s image within the industry, or on the Company’s trademark. MorphoSys defines risk as internal or external events having an immediate impact on the Company. This includes an assessment of the potential financial impact on the Company’s targets. Opportu- nities are in direct relation to risk and seizing opportunities posi- tively impacts the Company’s targets, whereas the occurrence of risks has a negative influence. MorphoSys uses strict internal controls, Group-wide reporting guidelines and other measures such as employee training and on- going professional training with the goal of maintaining accurate bookkeeping and accounting and ensuring the reliability of the financial reporting in the consolidated financial statements and the Group Management Report. The essential components of Group accounting are prevention, monitoring and detection measures intended to ensure the security and control in accounting and operational functions. More details on the internal control system for financial reporting can be found in the Corporate Governance Report. RisksRISK CATEGORIESMorphoSys categorizes its key risks in the following six categories: • Financial risks (for example, risks resulting from insolvencies and payment defaults; license fees, research funding and mile-stones that are lower-than-anticipated; and risks associated with any form of financing and financial instruments, such as cash investments, bank failures, currencies, interest rates, taxes and debt collection). • Operational risks (risks such as those in the areas of procure-ment/production, customers, personnel, risks customary for the biotechnology industry such as risks related to preclinical or clinical trial results). • Strategic risks (for example, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), investments, R&D, corporate image, superior products and tech-nologies of competitors, portfolio development). • External risks (risks beyond the Company’s control, such as eco-nomic, political and legal risks, as well as risks associated with companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, such as intellectual property protection and risks in the regula-tory environment when seeking the approval of new drugs). • Organizational risks (for example, those concerning IT, facilities management, succession planning, business interruption and process delays as a result of the exaggerated complexity and an excessive number of projects). • Compliance risks (for example, breach of US FDA and European EMA regulations, quality management policies, accounting standards, corporate governance, as well as violations of the Ger-man Stock Corporation Act).63GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTRisk and Opportunity ReportFIGURE16 The Risk and Opportu-nity Management System at MorphoSysDEFINEOBJECTIVESASSESSRISKTECHNOLOGY SCOUTINGINNOVATION CAPITALCORPORATE GOVERNANCEINTERNAL AUDITSUPERVISORY BOARDMANAGEMENT BOARDDISCUSSION FORUMIMPLEMENTMEASURESRISKMANAGEMENTCOMPLIANCEMANAGEMENTOPPORTUNITYMANAGEMENTINTERNALCONTROL SYSTEMBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTMONITORSYSTEM78GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 64 Risk and Opportunity Report F INANC IAL RISK S Financial risk management at MorphoSys aims to limit financial risks and reconcile these risks with the requirements of its business. Financial risks may arise within the context of licensing agree- ments, for example when projects (products or technologies) are delayed or do not materialize, or are out-licensed to a different de- gree than planned. A corresponding risk also arises when reve- nues do not reach the level projected or when costs are higher than planned due to higher resource requirements. Detailed project preparation, for example through an intensive exchange with in- ternal and external partners and consultants, ensures optimal po- sitioning early in the process and thus represents an important measure for minimizing risk. Financial risks associated with the Company’s proprietary programs could be considerably reduced by the successful introduction of MOR103 and MOR202 into part- nerships in the 2013 financial year. The financial risks relating to MOR208, a completely proprietary program, remain entirely with MorphoSys. With the programs introduced into partnerships, MorphoSys retains some risk with respect to the clinical develop- ment. The early termination of concluded development partner- ships may force MorphoSys to bear future development costs on its own. Such a termination could have a major impact on the income statement and the financial planning. Due to the continued difficult European economic situation, bank insolvencies still pose a financial risk. Therefore, MorphoSys con- tinues to invest only in funds and products deemed safe – to the extent this is possible and can be estimated – from banks that have maintained their high rating and/or are secured by a strong partner. We have simulated various scenarios and have formed ap- propriate contingency plans. In addition, the appropriate returns of financial assets represent a risk, especially since key interest rates have reached an extremely low level. OPERAT IONAL RISK S Operational risks include risks relating to the exploration and de- velopment of proprietary drug candidates and those found in the Corporate Purchasing and Logistics department. Operational risks also include personnel risks, such as the risk of being able to re- cruit suitable employees or the loss of highly qualified and experi- enced staff. The failure of a clinical trial before out-licensing to partners – which does not necessarily imply the failure of an entire pro- gram – can result if the trial data did not produce the expected results, showed unexpected adverse side effects, or the compila- tion of the data was incorrect. The design of clinical trials and the draft of development plans are always completed with the utmost care. This has given the trials in clinical testing the best opportu- nity to show clinically relevant data and convince regulatory agen- cies and potential partners. In addition to the existing internal know-how, external experts are also involved. Special steering committees and panels are formed to monitor the progress of clin- ical programs. Antibody production is a significant cost factor in the area of drug development. A crucial role is played by the obligation to comply with the requirements of the international drug regulatory agen- cies at every step of production in order to guarantee the highest quality of the compounds and ensure patient safety. The produc- tion process for biopharmaceuticals is usually performed in cell culture systems of several thousand liters of culture volume and entails a variety of process steps that need to be carried out under strict supervision and officially controlled conditions up to the completion of the individual investigational medicinal products for use in patients. Therefore, lead times of up to one to two years – depending on the phase of the project – must be scheduled for the supply of antibody material. This supply planning, coupled with early strategic financial investments, are major factors in drug de- velopment due to the high complexity and associated risks in- volved in the production process and in clinical trial planning since they can both have a considerable effect on the speed and cost of development. The Procurement & Logistics department cooperates closely with suppliers to avoid delivery delays, delivery bottlenecks and avert any additional costs. This relationship is supported by a periodic vendor evaluation that identifies potential problems and finds solu- tions that are communicated both internally and externally to the managers responsible. Personnel risks occur in the area of recruitment and from the loss of “key performers.” Such risks become apparent when recruiting employees, particularly in light of how difficult it is to find candi- dates with the appropriate qualifications. The Company’s Human Resources department takes every opportunity to respond to these risks – including collaborations with external organizations – and improve the recruitment process. We begin our search for suitable employees as early as possible. In addition, the attractiveness of MorphoSys as an employer is presented to the public through advertising and trade shows portraying the Company as having an open and creative corporate culture. Next to recruitment, em-ployee retention is also a key element of human resource manage-ment in order to minimize the loss of key performers from the resignation of experienced and highly qualified employees. The continual comparison of industry-standard salary schemes en-sures employees are paid fairly and competitively. Furthermore, suitable salary components and employee interviews ensure a per-formance-based incentive system and support the long-term goal of binding the employee to the Company. Company parties, team building activities, sports and social events, contribute to a good working atmosphere.STRATEGIC RISKSStrategic risks occur in the proprietary portfolios of therapeutic molecules. After successfully introducing two existing propri-etary programs into partnerships, making additions to the port-folio becomes the focus. Here, risks may arise if there is a lack of attractive targets and compounds or innovative technologies. These risks are also related to missed or failed M&A transactions that would have provided access to strategically important assets. One way MorphoSys responds to these types of risks, is to form multidisciplinary teams to take care of additions to the proprietary portfolios and identify which of the suitable therapeutic molecules can be in-licensed. A New Discovery team searches for suitable targets for developing novel therapeutic molecules using propri-etary or external technological platforms. In order to obtain long-term options for new technologies or therapeutic molecules, a pro-gram called “Innovation Capital” has been established, which invests venture capital in innovative start-up companies.Development programs brought into partnerships can also fail or see the partnerships end on short notice or prematurely. This could force MorphoSys to search for new development partners or to bear substantial costs of further development fully on its own. There may be a delay or even a termination in the development of individual candidates. Not only could this lead to additional costs for MorphoSys, but it could also lead to a long-term loss of revenue due to delayed market entry. Another strategic risk is that therapeutic antibodies will no longer be competitive in the distant future due to the existence of better molecules or more favorable therapeutic approaches or because proprietary drug candidates take too long to reach market readi-ness. This risk can also be classified as industry risk. MorphoSys attempts to minimize these risks using its own discovery activi-ties and detailed time schedules for its proprietary development programs. Here again, through the creation of Innovation Capital, MorphoSys has a suitable tool to identify new trends at an early stage, invest in innovation and thereby participate in development. A scouting team also searches worldwide for new and innovative technologies and analyzes MorphoSys’s competitors regularly.There is also a strategic risk of a possible non-renewal of the coop-eration agreement with Novartis. The current agreement is valid through 2017 and Novartis has an option to extend the agreement by an additional two years. Should Novartis not exercise this op-tion, MorphoSys would lose annual revenues of approximately € 40 million as of the 2018 financial year. EXTERNAL RISKSExternal risks for MorphoSys are found, among others, in the con-text of its intellectual property. Patent protection of proprietary technologies is particularly important for MorphoSys. To reduce the risks in this area, MorphoSys is always on the lookout for pub-lished patents and patent applications. The Company analyzes and monitors its findings and develops circumvention strategies for external patents, which may one day be relevant, before they are issued. By following this strategy, MorphoSys has achieved growing success over the years and has secured ample room to maneuver in terms of its proprietary technology platforms and products for many years to come.Another area where external risks can occur is in our work with service providers in both preclinical and clinical development, in-cluding the processing of clinical data. Here, insufficient or poor performance can lead to development delays, financial loss, or even endanger the programs in their entirety.As a global biotechnology company with numerous partnerships and its own research and development department for the develop-ment of drug candidates, the MorphoSys Group is exposed to a variety of legal risks. These include risks relating to patent law, potential liability claims from existing partnerships, competition and antitrust law, as well as tax law and environmental protection. Future lawsuits are conceivable but are currently unpredictable. Therefore, we cannot rule out a significant impact on our business and results from expenses incurred as a result of legal or regula-tory judgments, or from agreed settlements that are not, or not fully, covered or that can only be partially covered by insurance. 65GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTRisk and Opportunity Report78GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 66 Risk and Opportunity Report ORGANIZAT IONAL RISK S Organizational risks occur in the areas of Partnered Discovery, Technical Operations and IT, among others. The Partnered Dis- covery area may suffer from a loss of quality or delays may occur within the organization due to a higher number of programs or their increasing complexity. To reduce complexity and, in turn, lower risk, we have introduced uniform processes that are moni- tored for compliance by regular audits. Risks found in the Technical Operations area relate to procedures that could cause lasting damage, business interruptions, or acci- dents involving hazardous or polluting substances. To avoid these types of disruptions, we take measures such as the routine inspec- tion and maintenance of equipment and facilities and providing training and tutorials for the employees concerned. These risks can be reduced even further with the use of suitable electronic monitoring systems. Financial risks affecting this area are gener- ally covered by insurance. Further information on MorphoSys’s operating environment may be found in the chapter titled “Sus- tainable Business Development.” Business activities can be exposed to risks resulting from disrup- tions in the IT infrastructure or IT security. These risks are man- aged using backup copies created several times per day and through the use of highly reliable firewall and antivirus scanning systems to ensure the safety and stability of the data. MorphoSys also minimizes the risks associated with the availability, reliabil- ity and efficiency of its IT systems through continuous testing (for example, simulations of gradual hacker attacks) and updates to the software and hardware systems. The IT strategy is also reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis. COMPL IANCE RISK S Compliance risks can arise when quality standards are not met or business processes are not handled properly from a legal stand- point. MorphoSys is committed to meeting the highest quality standards in its business operations, as set out in the Sustain- ability Report, to counter these risks. The system is also routinely reviewed by external experts and subjected to periodic inspec- tions by an internal, independent quality assurance department to limit risk. Specific risks could arise, for example, when the internal quality management system does not meet the legal requirements, or when there is a failure to implement the internal systems for de- tecting quality defects. In the event that the internal controls are not able to detect violations of the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP), or Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), this would also constitute a compliance risk. Insufficient or delayed financial communication could result in fines or legal actions. Annual General Meetings executed incor- rectly could lead to legal disputes with shareholders. This would lead to significant costs from either attempting to avert a challenge of the Annual General Meeting or, if this is not possible, to repeat the Annual General Meeting. Capital measures up for resolution (for example, a capital increase) could possibly also be at risk. The preparation and execution of the Annual General Meeting, as well as all relevant documentation and processes, are closely monitored and reviewed by the internal departments responsible and by ex- ternal lawyers and auditors to minimize this risk. T HE MANAGEMEN T BOARD’S EVALUAT ION OF T HE OVERAL L RISK SI T UAT ION AT T HE MORPHOSY S GROUP The Management Board of the MorphoSys Group considers the overall risk to be appropriate and trusts the effectiveness of the risk management system with regard to the changes in the envi- ronment and the needs of the current business. It is the Manage- ment Board’s view that the continued existence of the MorphoSys Group is not jeopardized. This assessment applies to each individ- ual Group company as well as to the MorphoSys Group as a whole. This assessment is based on a variety of factors which are summa- rized below: • the MorphoSys Group has an exceptionally high equity ratio and has successfully confirmed its corporate objectives in the past few years; • the Management Board of the Group is confident that MorphoSys is well positioned to cope with any adverse events which may occur; • the Group has an extremely large and broad portfolio of preclin- ical and clinical programs in partnerships with a number of large pharmaceutical companies and a strong technological base for further expanding its proprietary portfolio. Risks, however, cannot be excluded, controlled or influenced in their entirety. OpportunitiesLeading antibody technologies, excellent know-how and a broad portfolio of validated clinical programs have made MorphoSys one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies in the field of ther-apeutic antibodies. Because this therapeutic class of molecules now belongs to one of the most successful and best-selling drugs in cancer therapy, there are a significant number of pharmaceuti-cal and biotechnology companies active in the field of antibodies who could become future customers and partners for MorphoSys’s products and technologies. For this reason and due to MorphoSys’s long-standing expertise in the field of technology and product de-velopment, the Company has identified a number of growth oppor-tunities for the years to come.MorphoSys’s antibody technologies for the development and opti-mization of therapeutic antibody candidates offer crucial advan-tages that can lead to higher success rates and shorter develop-ment times in the drug development process. The transfer and application of MorphoSys’s core competencies, also outside of the antibody segment, present the Group with new opportunities since many classes of compounds are similar in their molecular struc-ture. The “Innovation Capital” initiative is able to seize opportuni-ties that were previously unavailable by having MorphoSys act as a strategic investor in young, innovative companies allowing it to use synergies effectively.OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMThe opportunity management system is an important part of the corporate management at MorphoSys. It serves to identify oppor-tunities at an early stage and to generate added value for the Company.Opportunity management relies on four pillars: • a routine discussion forum comprised of the Management Board and selected members of the Senior Management Group; • the Company’s business development activities; • a technology scouting team; and • the “Innovation Capital” initiative.At committee meetigs, selected opportunities are discussed and, where applicable, actions are agreed upon for seizing these oppor-tunities. The meetings and their results are recorded in detail and further actions are monitored and reviewed. The Group’s Business Development team takes part in numerous conferences where it identifies various opportunities that can contribute to the Com-pany’s growth. These are presented in the committee meetings and assessed through evaluation processes. The technology scout-ing team specifically searches out innovative technologies that can generate synergies with the technological infrastructure of MorphoSys, suitable for identifying new therapeutic molecules. These results are also discussed and evaluated by internal com-mittees existing across all departments. The “Innovation Capital” initiative described above also allows MorphoSys to participate in early innovations and utilize these for the benefit of the Company in the future. An established opportunity evaluation process en-sures a qualitative and reproducible evaluation of opportunities.GENERAL STATEMENT ON OPPORTUNITIESIncreased life expectancy in industrialized countries and the changing income situation and lifestyle in emerging countries are expected to drive demand for additional and innovative treatment options and advanced technologies. Scientific and medical prog-ress has led to a better understanding of the biological processes of diseases, which, in turn, paves the way for new therapeutic ap-proaches. Innovative therapies, such as fully human antibodies, have reached market maturity in recent years and have led to the development of commercially successful medical products. In ad-dition, therapeutic compounds based on proteins – also known as biological compounds or “biologics” – are threatened less by com-petition from generics than chemically produced molecules be-cause the production of biological compounds is far more complex. Therefore, the demand for antibodies and the interest in this cate-gory of drugs has risen sharply over the past two to three years as demonstrated by the various acquisitions and significant licensing agreements in this field. MARKET OPPORTUNITIESMorphoSys believes that its antibody platforms, HuCAL, Ylanthia and Slonomics, and the recently in-licensed lanthipeptide technol-ogy can all be used to develop products that address considerable, unmet medical needs.THERAPEUTIC ANTIBODIES – PROPRIETARY DEVELOPMENTIt is expected that the pharmaceutical industry will increase its in-licensing of new drugs in order to refill its pipelines and replace previous key products and revenue drivers which have lost patent protection. With its most advanced compounds, MOR103, MOR202 and MOR208, MorphoSys is in a good position to capitalize on the needs of pharmaceutical companies. This is highlighted by the partnerships for MOR103 and MOR202 and the partnership for MOR209/ES414 that was completed successfully in 2014. 67GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTRisk and Opportunity Report78GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 68 Risk and Opportunity Report The guaranteed cash flows from the Partnered Discovery segment in the years to come place MorphoSys in a position to continuously strengthen its proprietary portfolio. MorphoSys will expand its proprietary portfolio by adding clinical trials with its most im- portant drug candidates by investigating new disease areas, for example. MorphoSys intends to complement its portfolio with other programs and could use existing and future opportunities for co-development projects or partnerships. The Company is also looking for more opportunities to in-license interesting drug can- didates. With the drug candidates MOR208 and MOR202, MorphoSys may have the chance for the first time to market a drug itself. T HERAPEU T IC AN T IBODIES – PAR T NERED DIS COVERY By working with a number of partners in drug development, MorphoSys has been able to better spread the risk that is inextri- cably linked with the development of individual drugs. With over 80 individual therapeutic antibodies currently in development programs with partners, the chance that MorphoSys will partici- pate financially in the marketing of drugs is becoming more likely. In 2014, there were already three antibodies in clinical phase 3. If the clinical trial results are positive, it is possible that an approval may even be awarded in the near future. Our partner Novartis has already announced that an filing for the approval of its bimagrumab antibody could be made in 2016. T ECHNOL OGY DEVEL OPMEN T MorphoSys continues to invest in its existing and new technologies in order to maintain its technological leadership. With Ylanthia, MorphoSys has established a new technology platform which, un- like its predecessor HuCAL, is again available for broader licens- ing to different partners. The commercialization of the Ylanthia antibody library was started in 2012. Technological advances of this kind could put the Company in a position to expand its list of partners and increase both the speed and the success rate of partnered and proprietary drug develop- ment programs. New technology modules that enable the produc- tion of antibodies against novel classes of target molecules could also open up new disease areas in which antibody-based treat- ments are still under-represented. Technology development is driven by a team of scientists focused on the further development of the Company’s technologies. But instead of only relying on internal technology development, MorphoSys also uses external sources of development for strength- ening its technology. The cooperation and participation in Lanthio Pharma, a Dutch company dealing with the development of lanthi- peptide, is a good example of such activities. ACQUISI T ION OPP OR T UNI T IES In the past, MorphoSys has proven its ability to make acquisitions of compounds and technologies to accelerate its growth. Potential acquisition candidates are systematically presented, discussed and evaluated within the scope of the routine meetings with the Management Board and members of the Senior Management Group already described. Subsequent to these meetings, promis- ing candidates are examined for strategic synergies and evaluated by an internal specialist committee. Protocols are completed on all candidates and assessments and are then systematically archived for observation and follow-up. A proprietary database helps to ad- minister this information and keep it available. MorphoSys plans to drive its acquisition strategy forward in the new year so that it can complement its existing portfolio and tech- nology platform and secure access to patents and licenses for the development of novel proprietary technologies and products. F INANC IAL OPP OR T UNI T IES Exchange rate and interest rate developments can have a positive or negative effect on the Group’s financial results. Interest rates and financial market developments are continuously monitored to promptly identify and seize any available opportunities. TABLE11Presentation of the Key Short- and Medium-Term Risks at MorphoSys 1-Year Assessment3-Year AssessmentFINANCIAL RISK Risk of missing revenue targets• Low••• HighRisks due to bank insolvencies•• Moderate•• ModerateOPERATIONAL RISK Risks related to the development of proprietary antibodies•• Moderate•• ModerateRisks related to Human Resources• Low• LowSTRATEGIC RISK The risk of not being able to in-license novel therapeutic molecules•• Moderate••• HighEarly termination of drug development partnerships•• Moderate••• HighPatent-related risks (with regard to the patent situation of the technology platform)•• Moderate•• ModerateEXTERNAL RISK Risks related to external service providers in the clinical area••• High• LowPatent-related risks (with regard to new national/international regulations)•• Moderate•• ModerateORGANIZATIONAL RISK Risks arising from the growing amount and complexity of programs•• Moderate•• ModerateRisks in the technical operations area• Low• LowCOMPLIANCE RISK Quality risks due to legal requirements•• Moderate•• ModerateLegal risks• Low• LowLEGEND• LOW RISK low probability of occurrence, low impact•• MODERATE RISK moderate probability of occurrence, moderate impact••• HIGH RISK moderate probability of occurrence, moderate to strong impact•••• CATASTROPHIC RISK high probability of occurrence, severe impactTABLE12Summary of the Most Important Long-Term Risks at MorphoSysSegmentsRiskOrder1Proprietary DevelopmentLack of competitiveness of the MorphoSys pipeline1Partnered DiscoveryTermination of partnered programs2Proprietary DevelopmentInsufficient expansion of the MorphoSys pipeline3Partnered DiscoveryLack of new strategic alliances41 Declining importance of risk from 1 to 4, whereby 1 represents the most important risk.69GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTRisk and Opportunity Report78GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 70 Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report The Statement on Corporate Governance and the Corporate Gover- nance Report are published on the Company’s website under Media & Investors – Corporate Governance.

In addition to the annual Declaration of Conformity in accordance with Sec. 161 of the Stock Corporation Act (AktG) it also includes relevant information on corporate gov- ernance practices and other aspects of corporate governance, par- ticularly a description of the working practices of the Management Board and Supervisory Board. DECLARATION OF CONFORMIT Y WITH THE GERMAN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE ( T HE “CODE” ) OF T HE MANAGEMEN T BOARD AND T HE SUPERVIS ORY BOARD OF MORPHOSY S AG the Supervisory Board of The Management Board and MorphoSys AG declare the following pursuant to Sec. 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act: 1. Since the last Declaration of Conformity on 6 December 2013, MorphoSys AG has complied with the recommendations of the “Government Commission on the German Corporate Gover- nance Code” – with the exceptions described below under item no. 3 – in the Code version dated 13 May 2013 and 24 June 2014. 2. MorphoSys AG will continue to comply with the recommenda- tions of the “Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code” in the Code version dated 24 June 2014 – with the exceptions described below under item no. 3. 3. Exceptions: • Remuneration of Management Board members does not pro- vide for a cap, neither overall nor for individual compensation components (see item 4.2.3 Para. 2 sentence 6 of the Code). In view of the Supervisory Board’s existing limitation possibili- ties concerning the variable compensation components for the Management Board and its annual allocation, the Super- visory Board does not believe that an additional cap is required. • The Supervisory Board has refrained from full application of the recommendations in item 5.4.1 Para. 2 and Para. 3 sen- tence 1 of the Code. Pursuant to item 5.4.1 Para. 2, the Super- visory Board shall specify concrete objectives regarding the Board’s composition, which shall stipulate, in particular, an appropriate level of female representation. According to item 5.4.1 Para. 3 sentence 1, proposals by the Supervisory Board to the competent election bodies shall take these objectives into account. The Supervisory Board has established concrete objectives regarding its composition and has thereby also de- cided to strive for an adequate representation of women on the Supervisory Board. However, a concrete quota of female members on the Supervisory Board has not been provided since qualifications and not gender should be the decisive criteria in the individual cases for appointment to the Super- visory Board.

MorphoSys’s “Code of Conduct” sets out the fundamental princi-ples and key policies and practices for business behavior. The Code serves as a valuable tool for employees and managers, particularly in business, legal, or ethical situations of conflict. The Code of Con-duct also supports transparent and consistent management princi-ples and strengthens the trust of the financial markets, business partners, employees and the public in the Company. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is carefully monitored. The Group-wide implementation of the Code is guided by the Code of Conduct Committee. The Code of Conduct is also regularly reviewed and amended if necessary. The Code of Conduct can be downloaded from the Company’s website under Media & Investors – Corporate Governance. The compliance handbook describes the compliance management system implemented by MorphoSys. This system ensures compli-ance with all legal requirements and also implements high ethical standards that are mandatory for both the Management Board and all employees. The overall responsibility for the compliance man-agement system lies with the Management Board who regularly reports to the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee. In carrying out its compliance responsibility, the Management Board has transferred the respective tasks to various positions at MorphoSys.The Compliance Officer monitors the interfaces of the individual pillars of compliance within MorphoSys and, if necessary, adapts the Company’s existing compliance organization in consultation with the Management Board. The Compliance Officer also regu-larly reports to the CEO on all of the relevant developments in the Company’s compliance organization.The Compliance Officer is assisted in his duties by a Compliance Committee that meets regularly to discuss compliance issues. The Compliance Committee serves as an interface between the differ-ent departments of MorphoSys dealing with compliance issues and facilitates the identification and discussion of all relevant is-sues concerning the individual compliance pillars. On this basis, the Compliance Officer routinely verifies the observance of the compliance management system as well as the compliance status of MorphoSys.Further information on the compliance management system at MorphoSys can be found on page 85 in the Corporate Governance Report.COMPOSITION OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AND THE SUPERVISORY BOARDTHE MANAGEMENT BOARDThe Management Board of MorphoSys AG consists of the Chief Executive Officer and three other members.

WORK ING PRAC T ICES OF T HE MANAGEMEN T BOARD AND SUPERVIS ORY BOARD To ensure good corporate governance, open and comprehensive information provided on a routine basis is a guiding principle of the cooperation of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG. The dual management system required by the German Stock Corporation Act clearly differentiates between the management and the supervision of a Company. The responsibili- ties of both Boards are clearly defined by the legislator and by the Boards’ bylaws and Articles of Association. MorphoSys AG’s Man- agement and Supervisory Boards work closely together and take actions and decisions for the benefit of the Company. Their stated objective is to sustainably increase the Company’s value. Each Management Board member has their own area of responsi- bility, which is defined in the schedule of responsibilities. Each member regularly reports to their Management Board colleagues on their respective area of responsibility. The collaboration of Man- agement Board members is governed by the bylaws. Both the schedule of responsibilities and the bylaws were enacted by the Supervisory Board. Meetings of the Management Board typically take place once a week and are chaired by the Chief Executive Officer. At the meetings, resolutions related to actions and trans- actions are passed that require the approval of the entire Manage- ment Board under the rules of procedure. In order to pass resolu- tions, at least half of the members of the Management Board must participate in the vote. Resolutions of the Management Board are passed by a simple majority. In the event of a tied vote, the vote of the Chief Executive Officer decides. In the case of significant events, each member of the Management Board or the Supervisory Board may convene an extraordinary meeting of the Management Board as a whole. Resolutions of the Management Board may also be passed outside of its meetings by voting verbally, by telephone, or in writing (including email). A protocol is made of each meeting of the full Management Board. This protocol is then submitted for approval at the subsequent meeting of the full Management Board and signed by the Chief Executive Officer. In addition to the regular Management Board meetings, Manage- ment Board strategy workshops are held. In this workshops, the Management Board prioritizes the strategic objectives across the Group and outlines the future strategy. The Management Board informs the Supervisory Board with re- spect to planning, business development and the Group’s position, including risk management and compliance issues, in a timely and comprehensive manner in writing, as well as at the Supervisory Board meetings. An extraordinary meeting of the Supervisory Board shall be convened if necessary in the case of a material event. The Supervisory Board is involved by the Management Board in the strategy and planning, as well as in all decisions of fundamental importance to the Company. In addition to the regu- lar Supervisory Board meetings, a further strategy meeting be- tween the Management Board and the Supervisory Board is held once annually in which the focus of discussion is the strategic ori-entation of MorphoSys. According to the Management Board’s rules of procedure, important business transactions are subject to the consent of the Supervisory Board. Detailed information on the collaboration between the Management Board and the Supervi-sory Board and on important topics discussed in the 2014 financial year can be found in the “Report of the Supervisory Board.” The Supervisory Board shall hold at least two meetings per calen-dar half-year and at least six per calendar year. In addition to the provisions of the Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board has added rules of procedure with regard to its duties: The Super-visory Board Chairman coordinates the work of the Supervisory Board, chairs its meetings and represents the affairs of the Board externally. The Supervisory Board usually makes its decisions in meetings. However, decisions can also be made by telephone, video conference, or outside of the meetings. The Supervisory Board constitutes a quorum when at least two-thirds of its members (including either the Chairman or the Dep-uty Chairman of the Supervisory Board) participate in the vote. Generally, resolutions of the Supervisory Board are adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast unless the law prescribes a differ-ent majority. In the event of a tied vote, the vote of the Supervisory Board Chairman decides.Supervisory Board meetings are recorded in writing. Resolutions which are taken outside of the meetings are also recorded. A copy of the minutes and the resolutions adopted outside of meetings is provided to all members of the Supervisory Board. In accordance with the recommendation in item no. 5.6 of the Code, the Supervi-sory Board evaluates the efficiency of its work on a regular basis.COMPOSITION AND WORKING PRACTICES OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD COMMITTEESThe Management Board has not established any committees. The Supervisory Board has three committees: the Audit Commit-tee, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Science and Technology Committee. The three committees formed by the Supervisory Board are occupied by professionally qualified members.AUDIT COMMITTEE The central task of the Audit Committee is to assist the Supervi-sory Board in fulfilling its supervisory duties with respect to the accuracy of the annual and consolidated financial statements, the activities of the external auditors, the internal control functions, risk management, compliance and internal audit. The Audit Com-mittee also submits a recommendation to the Supervisory Board for the election of the independent auditor which takes place at the Annual General Meeting. The members of the Audit Com-mittee are Dr. Daniel Camus (Chairman), Dr. Geoffrey Vernon and Ms. Karin Eastham. All three members are independent financial experts.REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEEThe Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for the preparation and annual review of the Management Board’s compensation system before its final approval. The committee also monitors, when necessary, the search for suitable candidates for appointment as Management Board members or as Supervisory Board members and submits proposals to the Supervisory Board in this regard. The Committee also prepares contracts with Man-agement Board members. The members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are Dr. Gerald Möller (Chairman), Dr. Marc Cluzel and Ms. Karin Eastham.SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEEThe Science and Technology Committee advises the Supervisory Board on matters concerning proprietary drug and technology de-velopment and also prepares the relevant Supervisory Board reso-lutions. The members of the Science and Technology Committee are Dr. Walter Blättler (Chairman) and Dr. Marc Cluzel.The biographies of the Supervisory Board members can be found on the MorphoSys website under Company – Management – Su-pervisory Board.73GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTStatement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report8GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 74 Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report T A B L E 14 Participation of Supervisory Board Members S U P V E R V I S O R Y B O A R D M E E T I N G S by phone by phone Strategy Meeting by phone 01/17 2014 02/27 2014 03/24 2014 05/22 2014 07/25 2014 09/05-06 2014 11/04 2014 12/10 2014 12/17 2014 – – Name Dr. Gerald Möller Dr. Geoffrey Vernon Dr. Walter Blättler Dr. Daniel Camus Dr. Marc Cluzel Karin Eastham M E E T I N G S O F T H E A U D I T C O M M I T T E E by phone by phone Name 02/27/2014 03/24/2014 04/25/2014 07/25/2014 11/04/2014 12/10/2014 Dr. Daniel Camus Karin Eastham Dr. Geoffrey Vernon M E E T I N G S O F T H E R E M U N E R A T I O N A N D N O M I N A T I O N C O M M I T T E E – by phone Name 02/27/2014 05/22/2014 07/24/2014 11/04/2014 12/10/2014 12/18/2014 Dr. Gerald Möller Dr. Marc Cluzel Karin Eastham – M E E T I N G S O F T H E S C I E N C E A N D T E C H N O L O G Y C O M M I T T E E by phone Name 02/27/2014 05/22/2014 06/26/2014 07/25/2014 11/04/2014 12/10/2014 at t e n d e d i n p e r s o n pa r t i c i pat e d b y p h o n e Dr. Walter Blättler Dr. Marc Cluzel Corporate Governance ReportMorphoSys makes responsible, sustainable and value-oriented corporate governance its highest priority. Good corporate gover-nance is a central component of corporate management at MorphoSys. It forms the framework for the management and su-pervision of the Group, which includes its organization, commer-cial principles and measures for guidance and control.With the creation of the German Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”), a standard was established for the transparent monitor-ing and control of companies, which is particularly oriented to-wards the interests of shareholders. Many of the principles con-tained in the Corporate Governance Code have been practiced at MorphoSys for a long period of time. Individual issues relating to corporate governance at MorphoSys AG are detailed in the Decla-ration on Corporate Governance pursuant to Sec. 289a HGB. This declaration also includes the annual Declaration of Conformity, relevant information on corporate governance practices and a de-scription of the working practices of the Management and Super-visory Boards. Additional information can be found in this Corpo-rate Governance Report.COMMUNICATION WITH THE CAPITAL MARKETSOne of the most important principles of corporate communication at MorphoSys is to inform institutional investors, private share-holders, financial analysts, employees and all other stakeholders simultaneously and comprehensively on the situation of the Com-pany. This is accomplished through regular, transparent and timely communication. All essential information provided to finan-cial analysts and similar addressees are also promptly made avail-able to shareholders in both the German and English languages. The Company is strictly committed to the principle of fair informa-tion practices.A central component of investor relations at MorphoSys is routine meetings with analysts and investors in the context of roadshows and individual meetings. Conference calls accompany the publica-tion of the quarterly results and give analysts and investors an opportunity to ask questions on the Company’s development. Com-pany presentations prepared for on-site events are accessible to all interested parties on the Company website. Video and audio re-cordings of key events can always be found on the Company web-site. Transcripts of the conference calls are also made promptly available.MorphoSys uses its corporate website www.morphosys.com as a central platform for providing current information on the Com-pany and its progress. Here financial reports, presentations for analyst and investor conferences, as well as the Company’s press releases and ad hoc statements can be retrieved. The dates of the main recurring publications and events (annual reports, interim reports, Annual General Meetings, press and analyst conferences) are published in our financial calendar well in advance.The MorphoSys website was technically and structurally rede-signed at the end of 2014 and will be re-introduced with a new design in the first quarter of 2015.ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC TARGETS FOR THE COMPOSI-TION OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARDThe Supervisory Board of MorphoSys AG has a total of six mem-bers. In view of the Company’s international orientation and to ensure a fair share of diversity, the Supervisory Board maintains a ratio of at least two non-German Supervisory Board members or at least two members having extensive international experience. This ratio is currently being met.We also strive to have at least four independent members repre-sented on our Supervisory Board. This ratio is also currently being met. Material conflicts of interest and those which are not merely temporary, in particular conflicts arising from tasks for major competitors, should be avoided. Currently, no such conflict of inter-est exists.Furthermore, it is intended that an adequate proportion of women shall be represented on the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board is aware that such an adequate proportion of women may not be reached immediately. Nevertheless, the Supervisory Board intends to include qualified women when assessing potential can-didates for vacant positions on the Supervisory Board. A prerequi-site for proposing the election of female candidates shall be their qualification and concrete suitability for the Company. At the Supervisory Board election that took place at the 2012 Annual General Meeting, Ms. Karin Eastham was elected as a new Super-visory Board member. The provision regarding the age limit of 75 years that is contained in the rules of procedure of the Supervisory Board is currently respected. However, the Supervisory Board may approve excep-tions in individual cases. The Supervisory Board plans to consider the targets mentioned above for future nominations.75GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTStatement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report8GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 76 Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report REMUNERAT ION REP OR T The Remuneration Report presents the principles, structure and amount of compensation paid to the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. It reflects the legal provisions and gives con- sideration to the recommendations of the Code. MANAGEMENT BOARD RE MUNER ATION The remuneration system for the Management Board is intended to provide an incentive for performance-oriented and sustainable corporate management. Therefore, the aggregate compensation of the Management Board members consists of different compo- nents, such as fixed components, an annual cash bonus based on the achievement of individual and corporate targets (short-term incentive – STI), as well as a variable compensation component with a long-term incentive (long-term incentive – LTI) and of other compensation components. The variable remuneration component with long-term incentive consists of a performance share plan. The Management Board members also receive fringe benefits in the form of non-cash benefits. These benefits essentially consist of a company car and insurance premiums. As a component of remu- neration, the fringe benefits of each Management Board member are taxable. All total remuneration packages are reviewed annu- ally by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee for their scope and appropriateness and compared to the results of an an- nual management board compensation analysis. The amount of compensation paid to Management Board members highly de- pends on their individual areas of responsibility, their personal achievement of goals, business performance, as well as on the Company’s success and the economic prospects in relation to the competition. All decisions concerning adjustments to the total re- muneration package are taken by the entire Supervisory Board. The salaries of the Management Board as well as the contributions to a pension plan in the form of a provident fund were last adjusted in July 2014. OV ERV IE W In the 2014 financial year, € 5,065,240 (2013: € 5,326,352) in ben- efits were granted to the Management Board in accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code. Of this total remuneration for the year 2014, € 2,769,205 was cash compensation and €  2,296,035, or 45 %, resulted from personnel expenses for share-based compensation (performance share plan, stock option plan and convertible bond plan) (remuneration with long-term incentive – LTI). The total amount of benefits paid to the Management Board in the 2014 financial year amounted to € 6,984,419 (2013: € 16,837,592). In addition to cash remuneration of € 2,893,199 (2013: € 2,473,883) paid during the financial year, this also includes the value from the exercise of convertible bonds and stock options (share-based compensation) of € 4,091,220 (2013: € 14,363,709) relevant under German tax law. Members of the Management Board exercised convertible bonds in the course of 2014. All transactions in MorphoSys shares executed by Management Board members were reported as required by law and published in the Corporate Governance Report and on the Company’s website. In accordance with the requirements of Section 4.2.5, Para. 3 of the Code, the following represents de- tailed information on an individualized basis required by the Code regarding the remuneration of individual Management Board members. Please note, the following tables in the Corporate Governance Re- port deviate from the information on Management Board remuner- ation provided in the Notes of this Annual Report (item 7.4). This is due to the varying presentation requirements under the Corporate Governance Code and those in accordance with IFRS. FIXED REM UNER ATION AND FRIN G E B ENEFITS The non-performance related remuneration of the Management Board is composed of fixed remuneration and additional benefits, which mainly include the use of company cars and also include subsidies for health, welfare and disability insurance. PENSION E XPENSES Furthermore, the Company provides payments to Management Board members of up to 10 % of each Management Board member’s fixed annual salary plus taxes to be paid. These payments are to be used by the Management Board members for their individual re- tirement plans. In addition, all Management Board members par- ticipate in a pension plan in the form of a provident fund, which was introduced in cooperation with Allianz Pensions-Manage- ment e.V. The pension obligations of this provident fund are met by Allianz Pensions-Management e.V. PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION (SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE – STI)As performance-based remuneration, each member of the Man-agement Board receives an annual cash bonus amounting to up to 70 % of the gross base salary upon the 100 % achievement of objec-tives. These bonus payments are dependent upon the achievement of corporate and personal objectives which are determined by the Supervisory Board at the beginning of each financial year. Corpo-rate targets comprise 80 % of performance-based remuneration and are based on business development measured by revenue and operating results. The progress of the partnered pipeline and the Company’s proprietary portfolio, as well as technology targets, is also taken into consideration. Personal targets comprise 20 % of performance-based remuneration and include the fulfillment of operational targets for which the respective Management Board member is responsible. At the start of the year, the Supervisory Board assesses the degree to which the corporate and personal objectives were achieved in the prior year and determines the cor-responding bonus. The bonus is subject to a ceiling of 125 % of the target amount (corresponding to 87.5 % of gross basic salary). If targets are not achieved, the performance-based remuneration may be completely omitted. The bonus for the 2014 financial year will be paid in February 2015.LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION (LTI)In 2011, MorphoSys introduced a new, long-term incentive plan (Performance Share Plan) for the Management Board and mem-bers of the Senior Management Group. The LTI program is based on the allocation of shares which are linked to the achievement of certain pre-defined performance targets over a four-year period. Each year the Supervisory Board decides on the number of shares to be allocated to the Management Board. On 1 April 2014, the Management Board was granted 18,264 shares; whereby each Management Board member received an entitlement to a certain number of shares. For more details, please refer to section 7.3.4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement and the com-ments on share buybacks in the Corporate Governance Report.With the allotment of shares for a given year, the Supervisory Board sets the long-term performance targets. For the 2014 LTI program, the target was defined as the share price performance of the MorphoSys share compared to a benchmark index, which con-sists of equal parts of the NASDAQ Biotech Index and the TecDAX index. Shares are annually awarded on the basis of a daily com-parison of the MorphoSys share with the benchmark. For the price performance in a given year, there is a hurdle of 50 % and a maxi-mum limit of 200 %. For example, in comparing the performance of the MorphoSys share with that of the index, performance of less than 50 % in the relevant year means that no shares would be allo-cated. Performance of more than 200 %, however, would result in no additional shares being allocated. The final number of performance shares allocated to the beneficia-ries of the LTI program is determined after the completion of the program, specifically after a period of four years. This calculation incorporates the number of shares initially allocated, after adjust-ing the Company’s share price performance versus the benchmark index and at the discretion of the Supervisory Board with regards to a “company factor.” The company factor is a number between 0 and 2 and is determined by the Supervisory Board depending on the Company’s situation. The predefined default value of the com-pany factor is 1.MISCELLANEOUSManagement Board members were not granted any loans or simi-lar benefits in the reporting year nor have members of the Man-agement Board received any benefits from third parties that were either promised or granted based on their position as a Manage-ment Board member.TERMINATION OF MANAGEMENT BOARD EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS/CHANGE OF CONTROLIf a Management Board member’s service contract terminates as a result of death, their spouse or life partner is entitled to the fixed monthly salary for the month of death and the 12 months there-after. In the event of a change in control, each Management Board member is entitled to exercise their extraordinary right to termi-nate their employment contract, including entitlement to any out-standing amounts of fixed salary for the remainder of the agreed contract period. Moreover, in such a case, all stock options, con-vertible bonds and performance shares granted will become vested immediately and are exercisable after the expiration of the statutory vesting period or blackout periods. A change in control occurs particularly when: (i) MorphoSys transfers assets or a sub-stantial part of its assets to unaffiliated third parties, (ii) MorphoSys merges with a non-affiliated company, or (iii) a shareholder or third party holds 30 % or more of the voting rights in MorphoSys.77GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTStatement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report8GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 78 Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report T A B L E B E N E F I T S G R A N T E D T O T H E M A N A G E M E N T B O A R D 15 Compensation of the Management Board in 2014 and 2013 (Disclo- sure in Accordance with the German Corporate Governance Code) Dr. Simon Moroney Chief Executive Officer Jens Holstein Chief Financial Officer Dr. Arndt Schottelius Chief Development Officer Dr. Marlies Sproll Chief Scientific Officer in € 2013 2014 2014 (Mini- mum) 2014 (Maxi- mum) 2013 2014 2014 (Mini- mum) 2014 (Maxi- mum) 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2014 (Mini- mum) 2014 (Maxi- mum) 2014 (Mini- mum) 2014 (Maxi- mum) Total 2014 (Mini- mum) 2014 (Maxi- mum) Fixed Compensation Fringe Benefits Total Fixed Compensation One -Year Variable Compensation1 Multi-Year Variable Compensation: 2009 Stock Option Plan2 (Vesting Period 4 Years) 2010 Convertible Bonds Program2 (Vesting Period 4 Years) 2013 Convertible Bonds Program 2 (Vesting Period 4 Years) 2013 Long-Term Incentive Program 3 (Vesting Period 4 Years) 2014 Long-Term Incentive Program 3 (Vesting Period 4 Years) Total Variable Compensation Service Cost Total Compensation 412,049 426,502 426,502 426,502 279,531 289,335 289,335 289,335 279,531 289,335 289,335 289,335 279,531 289,335 289,335 289,335 1,250,642 1,294,507 1,294,507 1,294,507 67,132 29,444 29,444 29,444 28,138 33,722 33,722 33,722 29,143 32,508 32,508 32,508 21,579 22,828 22,828 22,828 145,992 118,502 118,502 118,502 479,181 455,946 455,946 455,946 307,669 323,057 323,057 323,057 308,674 321,843 321,843 321,843 301,110 312,163 312,163 312,163 1,396,634 1,413,009 1,413,009 1,413,009 360,543 324,696 0 373,189 244,590 220,271 0 253,168 244,590 215,208 0 253,168 244,590 210,144 0 253,168 1,094,313 970,319 0 1,132,693 5,704 0 0 0 32,051 6,010 6,010 6,010 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6,337 0 0 0 2,577 0 0 0 14,618 0 0 0 17,988 3,373 3,373 3,373 17,988 3,373 3,373 3,373 68,027 12,756 12,756 12,756 363,903 310,530 310,530 310,530 372,759 318,087 318,087 318,087 249,243 212,687 212,687 212,687 249,243 212,687 212,687 212,687 1,235,148 1,053,991 1,053,991 1,053,991 383,250 0 0 0 262,500 0 0 0 262,500 0 0 0 262,500 0 0 0 1,170,750 0 0 0 0 402,413 0 1,609,652 0 275,625 0 1,102,500 0 275,625 0 1,102,500 0 275,625 0 1,102,500 0 1,229,288 0 4,917,152 1,145,451 1,043,649 316,540 2,299,381 879,849 813,983 318,087 1,673,755 780,658 706,893 216,060 1,571,728 776,898 701,829 216,060 1,571,728 3,582,856 3,266,354 1,066,747 7,116,592 112,221 125,730 125,730 125,730 78,177 86,866 86,866 86,866 78,294 86,653 86,653 86,653 78,170 86,628 86,628 86,628 346,862 385,877 385,877 385,877 1,736,853 1,625,325 898,216 2,881,057 1,265,695 1,223,906 728,010 2,083,678 1,167,626 1,115,389 624,556 1,980,224 1,156,178 1,100,620 614,851 1,970,519 5,326,352 5,065,240 2,865,633 8,915,478 1 The one-year compensation granted for the 2014 financial year represents the bonus accrual for 2014 that will be paid in February 2015.

In 2014 financial year, the members of the Su- pervisory Board received fixed remuneration and attendance fees for their participation in Supervisory Board and Committee meet- ings. According to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of 23 May 2014, each Supervisory Board member receives an annual flat compensation (€  85,400 for the Chairman, €  51,240 for the Vice Chairman and € 34,160 for all other members) for their mem- bership in the Supervisory Board. The Chairman receives € 4,000 for each Supervisory Board meeting he chairs and the remaining members receive €  2,000 each time they attend a Supervisory Board meeting. For Committee work, the Committee Chairman re- ceives € 12,000 and the remaining committee members each re- ceive € 6,000. In addition, Committee members receive € 1,200 for each Committee meeting they participate in. Compensation is paid quarterly on a pro-rated basis. Supervisory Board members are also reimbursed for travel costs and for value-added taxes (VAT) due on their remuneration. In the 2014 financial year, Supervisory Board members received total compensation of € 514,480 (2013: € 458,280), excluding the reimbursement of travel expenses. This amount consists of the fixed remuneration and attendance fees. No loans were granted to Supervisory Board members by the Company. The following table shows the remuneration of the Supervisory Board in detail: DIRECTORS’ HOLDINGS OF MANAGEMENT BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARDThe members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board hold more than 1 % of the shares issued by the Company.

Such trans-actions or secondary employment of the Management Board must be disclosed immediately to the Supervisory Board and are subject to its approval. The Supervisory Board, in turn, must inform the Annual General Meeting of any conflicts of interest and their treat-ment.

The Com- pany plans to use these treasury shares for a long-term incentive plan for the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. However, this authorization also permits the shares to be used for other lawful purposes. INF ORMAT ION AND COMMUNIC AT ION During the 2014 financial year, the optimization of business pro- cesses based on the ERP and Corporate Performance Management systems (CPM) was continued successfully within the planned project budget and time frame. Based on modern IT security technology, new IT services were established for working securely off-site within the IT security infrastructure. As part of this expansion, new services were brought into operation to provide a more secure exchange of data with external business partners. The new IT security infrastructure was successfully reviewed by means of an external security audit under the existing organiza- tional controls in order to ensure the protection of information at MorphoSys. Since April of this reporting year, R&D data from antibody selec- tion, characterization and production has been collected, stored, analyzed and processed in a database called YBase, which was developed specifically for MorphoSys’s workflows and technologies. This software solution is based on the software of GeneData Biologics, which was developed in close collaboration with the provider and is used industry-wide. It enables MorphoSys to com- pletely record the massive rise in the selection of antibody candi- dates from new technologies such as Ylanthia and Slonomics, and to identify the most promising drug candidates quickly and reliably. INFORMATION ON INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITH REGARD TO THE ACCOUNTING PROCESS PUR- SUANT TO SEC. 289 PARA. 5 AND SEC. 315 PARA. 2 NO. 5 HGB In the 2014 financial year, MorphoSys completed a routine update of the documentation for its existing internal control and risk man- agement systems in order to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. This ensures the availability of all con- trols so that the financial figures can be reported as precisely and as accurately as possible. The COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) defines the corre- sponding COSO framework (“Internal Control – Integrated Frame- work”). This is the basis most commonly used for internal control over financial reporting and is also the framework used by MorphoSys. In view of system constraints, there is no absolute assurance that internal controls can prevent or completely uncover a misrepre- sentation in the context of financial reporting at all times. Internal controls can only give reasonable assurance that the financial re- porting is reliable and verify that the preparation of the financial statements is in accordance with the IFRS standards for external purposes adopted by the European Union. To ensure the accuracy of the reported financial indicators and the underlying execution of all accounting processes, MorphoSys has implemented a strict four-eye principle. The effectiveness and effi- ciency of these processes are also routinely reviewed and moni- tored by external service providers. The consolidated financial statements go through a large number of preparation, audit and control processes in order that they are promptly reported to the market and to shareholders. This is done using a plan, agreed on by the management, for which the necessary resources are made available both internally as well as externally. Furthermore, numerous rules and guidelines ensure the strict separation of planning, posting and executing financial transac- tions. Compliance with and implementation of these guidelines is regularly reviewed. This functional separation is ensured with all IT systems through the appropriate assignment of rights. Predictions of future events are not part of the internal control and risk management systems. However, MorphoSys does use a risk management system that guarantees the early detection and as-sessment of business-specific risks. Through the appropriate countermeasures, the risks identified can be eliminated or at least minimized to an acceptable level. Special attention is given to those risks that could potentially jeopardize the Company’s exis-tence.The Management Board ensures the permanent and responsible dealing with risks and keeps the Supervisory Board informed of existing risks and their development. Detailed information on the opportunities and risks at MorphoSys can be found in the “Risks and Opportunities Report” (page 61).ACCOUNTING AND EXTERNAL AUDIT MorphoSys AG prepares its financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The consolidated financial state-ments are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applicable in the European Union.For the election of the Company auditor, the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board submits a nomination proposal to the Su-pervisory Board. At the 2014 Annual General Meeting, Pricewater-houseCoopers AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft was appointed auditor for the 2014 financial year. As evidence of its indepen-dence, the auditor submitted a Declaration of Independence to the Supervisory Board. Lead auditors of these consolidated financial statements were Mr. Dietmar Eglauer and Mr. Bodo Kleinschrod. Information on further consulting, audit and valuation services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG to MorphoSys AG during the 2014 financial year can be found in the Notes (item 6.1).COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMThe basic mechanisms of the compliance management system at MorphoSys are presented in the relevant information on corporate governance practices on page 71. In addition to this information, the responsibilities within the compliance organization are shown in figure 17.INTERNAL AUDITThe Internal Audit department plays a key role within the compli-ance management system. The task of the Internal Audit depart-ment is to assist the MorphoSys Group with a systematic and con-sistent approach for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management and to support the management and monitoring functions in meeting the set targets. In 2014, the accounting and consulting firm KPMG was appointed for the Internal Audit depart-ment as a co-sourcing partner for the performance of the audit.The internal audit is based on a risk-oriented internal audit plan, which is largely based on the results of the most recent risk sur-veys. Audit requirements and recommendations of the Manage-ment Board and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board also filter into this audit plan.The Internal Audit department reports to the Management Board at regular intervals. The Head of Internal Audit and the Chief Ex-ecutive Officer report to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board twice annually, or immediately, if necessary.In the course of 2014, five audits were successfully conducted. A few areas requiring action were identified and the appropriate corrections were initiated and performed. In the case of com-plaints, appropriate countermeasures were initiated during the reporting year. The 2015 audit plan of the Internal Audit depart-ment prescribes a number of audits similar to the number in 2014.85GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTStatement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report8GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 86 Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report F I G U R E 17 Compliance Manage- ment System (CMS) Compliance Officer reports to Chief Executive Officer manages the interfaces between the different compliance streams Code of Conduct Committee Internal Control System Interal Audit CMS Legal Quality assurance Quality Management System (GCP, GMP, GLP) Risk Manage- ment System Disclosures Pursuant to Sec. 289 Para. 4, Sec. 315 Para. 4 HGB and Ex-planatory Report of the Management Board Pursuant to Sec. 176 Para. 1 Sentence 1 AktGCOMPOSITION OF COMMON STOCKAs of 31 December 2014, the Company’s statutory common stock amounted to € 26,456,834.00 and was divided into 26,456,834 no-par-value bearer shares. This concerns bearer shares with vot-ing rights, except for the 450,890 treasury shares held by the Com-pany, whereby each share carries one vote at the Annual General Meeting.RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING VOTING RIGHTS OR THE TRANSFER OF SHARESThe Management Board is not aware of any restrictions which might affect voting rights or the transfer of shares. This also re-lates to restrictions which might arise from agreements between shareholders. Furthermore, restrictions on voting rights could also arise from the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), such as those according to Sec. 136 AktG, or for treasury shares pursu-ant to Sec. 71b AktG.SHAREHOLDINGS IN THE COMMON STOCK EXCEEDING 10 % OF THE VOTING RIGHTSWe have not been notified of or are aware of any direct or indirect interests in the common stock of the Company which exceed 10 % of the voting rights. SHARES WITH SPECIAL RIGHTS CONFERRING POWERS OF CONTROLShares with special rights conferring powers of control do not exist.CONTROL OVER VOTING RIGHTS WITH REGARD TO EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP IN THE CAPITAL Employees who hold shares in the Company exercise their voting rights directly in accordance with the statutory provisions and the Articles of Association like other shareholders. APPOINTMENT AND DISMISSAL OF MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AND AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATIONThe determination of the number of Management Board members, their appointment and dismissal and the nomination of the Chief Executive Officer, are carried out by the Supervisory Board in ac-cordance with Sec. 6 of the Articles of Association and Sec. 84 AktG. The Management Board of the Company currently consists of the Chief Executive Officer and three other members. Manage-ment Board members may be appointed for a maximum period of five years. A reappointment or extension of the term of office is permitted up to a maximum of five years in each case. The Super-visory Board may revoke the appointment of a Management Board member or the nomination of a Chief Executive Officer for good cause within the meaning of Sec. 84 Para. 3 AktG. If a required member of the Management Board is absent, one will be appointed by the court in cases of urgency pursuant to Sec. 85 AktG.In principle, the Articles of Association may only be amended by a resolution of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Sec. 179 Para. 1 sentence 1 AktG. Pursuant to Sec. 179 Para. 2 sentence 2 AktG in conjunction with Sec. 20 of the Articles of As-sociation, the Annual General Meeting of MorphoSys resolves amendments to the Articles of Association generally through a simple majority of the votes cast and a simple majority of the com-mon stock represented. To the extent that the law stipulates a man-datory greater majority of votes or capital, this shall be applied. However, amendments to the Articles of Association that only af-fect their wording can be resolved by the Supervisory Board in accordance with Sec. 179 Para. 1 sentence 2 AktG in conjunction with Sec. 12 Para. 3 of the Articles of Association.POWER OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD TO ISSUE SHARESThe Management Board’s power to issue shares is provided for in Sec. 5 Para. 5 to Para. 6e of the Company’s Articles of the Associa-tion as of 31 December 2014 and the statutory provisions:1. Authorized Capital a. According to Sec. 5 Para. 5 of the Articles of Association, the Management Board is authorized, with the consent of the Su-pervisory Board, to increase the Company’s common stock on one or more occasions by up to € 2,335,822.00 for cash contri-butions or contributions in kind by issuing up to 2,335,822 new, no-par-value bearer shares until and including 30 April 2018 (Authorized Capital 2013-I). If there is a capital increase, the shareholders are principally entitled to subscription rights. The shares may also be sub-scribed for by one or several credit institutions with the obli-gation to offer the shares to shareholders for subscription.

The Man- agement Board is authorized, with the consent of the Supervi- sory Board, to determine the further details of the conditional capital increase and its implementation. d.

The repurchase takes place at the Management Board’s discretion either on the stock exchange, through a public offer, or by a public invitation to submit a bid. The authorization may not be used for the purpose of trading in own shares.

In particular, the shares may be used as follows:a. The shares may be redeemed without the redemption or its exe-cution requiring a further resolution of the Annual General Meeting. b.

In particular, the shares may also be used for the fulfillment of obligations or rights to purchase Com-pany shares which will be agreed with employees or members of senior management of the Company and its affiliates in the context of employee participation programs.If shares are used for the purposes mentioned above, the subscrip-tion rights of shareholders are excluded, with the exception of re-demption of shares.MATERIAL AGREEMENTS MADE BY THE COMPANY THAT FALL UNDER THE CONDITION OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL RESULTING FROM A TAKEOVER BID In 2012, MorphoSys and Novartis Pharma AG expanded their orig-inal collaboration agreement. Under this agreement, in specific cases of a change of control, Novartis Pharma AG is entitled, but not obliged, to take various measures, which include the partial or complete termination of the collaboration agreement. Under Sec. 29 and 30 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act (WpÜG), a change of control applies, in particular, when 30 % or more of the voting rights in the Company are acquired.  In June 2013, MorphoSys signed a global agreement with Celgene Corporation for the co-development of the cancer program MOR202 and its co-promotion in Europe. Under this agreement, Celgene has the right to terminate MorphoSys’s promotion rights for MOR202 in the event of a business combination involving MorphoSys and a third entity. Such a business combination is de-fined as the acquisition of at least 50 % of the voting rights of MorphoSys, a merger between MorphoSys and another entity, or the transfer of all material assets of MorphoSys to a third party. In the event of such a business combination with a third party who is pursuing a development program competing with MOR202, but which does not constitute a breach of non-competition clauses, the research and development activities that are required under the agreement with Celgene shall be carried out separately from the research and development activities of the competing development program.89GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORTStatement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report8GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 90 Statement on Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Report COMPENSAT ION AGREEMEN T S CONCL UDED BY T HE COMPANY WI TH MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD AND EMPLOYEES IN T HE EVEN T OF A TAKEOVER BID Following a change of control, each member of the Management Board may terminate their employment contract and demand the fixed salary still outstanding until the end of the contract period. Moreover, in such a case, all stock options, convertible bonds and performance shares granted will become vested immediately and are exercisable after the expiration of the statutory waiting times or blackout periods. Following a change of control, each member of the Senior Manage- ment Group may also terminate their employment contract and demand a severance payment equal to one annual gross fixed salary. Moreover, in such a case, any stock options, convertible bonds and performance shares granted will also become vested immediately and are exercisable after the expiration of the statu- tory waiting times or blackout periods. The following cases constitute a change of control: (i) MorphoSys transfers the Company’s assets, in whole or in substantial part, to an unaffiliated entity, (ii) MorphoSys merges with a non-affiliated entity, or (iii) a shareholder or third party directly or indirectly holds 30 % or more of the voting rights in MorphoSys. GROUP MANA GEMEN T REP OR T 91 Subsequent Events Subsequent Events Subsequent to the end of the 2014 financial year, there have not been any significant changes in the industry environment.

the Management Board is required to make certain estimates and assumptions which have an effect on the amounts recognized in the con- solidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are subject to continuous review. Any changes in estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes are made and in all relevant future periods. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in euro – the MorphoSys Group’s functional currency. The statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets, which are recognized at their respec- tive fair value. All figures in this report are rounded to the nearest euro, thousand euros, or million euros. To provide improved transparency, the presentation of reserves in the balance sheet is divided into “Revaluation Reserve” and “Translation Reserve”. Unless stated otherwise, the accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated finan- cial statements. 1 General Information BUSINE SS AC T IVI T IE S AND T HE COMP AN Y MorphoSys AG (“the Company” or “MorphoSys”) is a leader in the develop- ment of highly efficient technologies for the generation of therapeutic anti- bodies. The Company’s proprietary portfolio of compounds and the pipe- line of compounds jointly developed with partners from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is among one of the broadest in the industry. The Group was founded in July 1992 as a German limited liability com- pany. In June 1998, MorphoSys became a German stock corporation. In March 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering on Germa- ny’s “Neuer Markt”: the segment of the Deutsche Börse designated for high-growth companies. On 15 January 2003, MorphoSys AG was admit- ted to the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 2.1 BASI S OF AND CHANGE S IN ACCOUN T ING S TANDARD S 2 .1.1 BASIS OF APPLICATION These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London. The state- ments take into account the recommendations of the International Finan- cial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), as applica- ble in the European Union (EU). They also give consideration to the supplementary German commercial law provisions, applicable in accor- dance with Sec. 315a Para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). These consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2014 comprise MorphoSys AG and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “MorphoSys Group” or the “Group”). F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 103 Notes 2 .1.2 CHANGES IN AC C OUNTING P OLICIES AND DISCLOSURES The accounting principles applied generally correspond to the policies used in the prior year.

Therefore, for the MorphoSys Group, this date is 1 January 2014. Provisions under IFRS 12 regarding disclosures in the notes have also been amended. These were observed by the MorphoSys Group. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 0 5 The following new and revised standards and interpretations that were not yet mandatory for the financial year or were not yet adopted by the European Union, have not been applied in advance. Standards with the remark “yes” are likely to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. Their impact is currently being assessed by the Group. Stan- dards with the remark “none” are not likely to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 104 Notes Standard/Interpretation IFRS 9 IFRS 14 IFRS 15 Financial Instruments Regulatory Deferral Accounts Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 10 and IAS 28 (A) IFRS 11 (A) IAS 16 and IAS 38 (A) IAS 16 and IAS 41 (A) IAS 19 (A) IAS 27 (A) IFRIC 21 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization Bearer Plants Employee Contributions to Defined Benefit Plans Application of the Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements Levies Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards, 2010 - 2012 cycle Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards, 2011 - 2013 cycle Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards, 2012 - 2014 cycle Mandatory application for financial years starting on Adopted by the European Union Possible impact on MorphoSys 01/01/2018 01/01/2016 01/01/2017 01/01/2016 01/01/2016 01/01/2016 01/01/2016 01/07/2014 01/01/2016 17/06/2014 01/07/2014 01/07/2014 01/01/2016 no no no no no no no no no yes no no no yes none yes none none none none none none none none none none (A) Amended Erweitert 2.2 CONS OL IDAT ION PRINC IPL E S Intercompany balances and transactions and any unrealized gains arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated when preparing consoli- dated financial statements pursuant to IFRS 10.B86.

Accounting policies have been applied consistently for all subsidiaries. 2 .2 .1 C ONSOLIDATE D C OMPANIES AND SC OPE OF C ONSOLIDATION MorphoSys AG has two wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “MorphoSys Group” or the “Group”): Sloning BioTechnology GmbH and Poole Real Estate Ltd. (formerly Biogenesis UK Ltd.). Upon entry into the commercial register on 13 August 2014 and based on the merger agreement dated 27 June 2014, MorphoSys IP GmbH, as the transferring legal entity, was merged into MorphoSys AG, as the acquiring legal entity, with the effective date of 1 January 2014. S COPE OF CONS OL IDAT ION A S OF 31 DEC EMBER 2014 Name and Corporate Seat of the Company C OMPAN Y C ONSOLIDATED (APAR T FROM PARENT C OMPAN Y ) Poole Real Estate Ltd., Oxford, UK Sloning BioTechnology GmbH, Martinsried, Germany MorphoSys USA, Inc., Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, was liquidated in financial year 2014. The remaining assets were distributed to MorphoSys AG as the sole shareholder. On 31 December 2014, Poole Real Estate Ltd., Oxford, UK, was in the pro- cess of liquidation. The liquidation was resolved by the shareholders and entered into the commercial register of the United Kingdom (Companies House) on 20 March 2014. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 were prepared and approved by the Management Board in its meet- ing on 17 February 2015 by a resolution of the Management Board. The Management Board is composed of Dr. Simon Moroney (Chief Executive Officer), Jens Holstein (Chief Financial Officer), Dr. Marlies Sproll (Chief Scientific Officer), and Dr. Arndt Schottelius (Chief Development Officer). The Supervisory Board is allowed to amend the financial statements after their approval by the Management Board. The registered offices of the MorphoSys Group’s headquarters are located at Lena-Christ-Straße 48, 82152 Martinsried, Germany.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are principally denom- inated in euros. Marketable securities are placed in high-quality securi- ties. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are held at several renowned financial institutions in Germany. The Group continuously mon- itors its positions with, and the credit rating of, the financial institutions which are counterparts to its financial instruments and does not expect any risk of non-performance. One of the Group’s policies requires that all customers who wish to trans- act business on credit terms are subject to a creditworthiness assessment based on external ratings. Even so, the Group’s revenues and accounts receivable are still subject to credit risk as a result of customer concentra- tion. The Group’s most significant single customer accounted for € 9.3 mil- lion of trade receivables as of 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: € 8.2 million). This customer accounted for 62 % of the Group’s accounts receivable at the end of 2014. Three individual customers of the Group ac- counted for 68 %, 21 %, and 3 % of the total revenues from continuing oper- ations in 2014. On 31 December 2013, one customer had accounted for 80 % of the Group’s accounts receivable and three customers individually had accounted for 53 %, 27 %, and 8 % of the Group’s revenues in 2013. Based on the Management Board’s assessment, no allowances were required in fi- nancial year 2014. As of 31 December 2013 and based on the Management Board’s assessment, allowances in the amount of € 238,900 were required in the Partnered Discovery segment. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk. 2 .2 .2 C ONSOLIDATION ME THODS The following Group subsidiaries are included in the scope of consolida- tion as shown in the following table. Company Established in/ Purchase of Shares Included in Basis of Consoli- dation since Poole Real Estate Ltd. Sloning BioTechnology GmbH January 2005 October 2010 01/11/2005 10/07/2010 These subsidiaries are fully consolidated because they are wholly owned. MorphoSys controls these subsidiaries because it possesses full power over the investees. Additionally, MorphoSys has a risk exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investees. MorphoSys also has unlimited capacity to exert power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns from the investees. There are no entities consolidated as joint ventures by using the equity method as defined by IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”. There are also no entities upon which the Group exercises a controlling influence as defined by IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”. Interests in such entities would be measured at fair value or at historic cost in accor- dance with the regulations of IAS 39. Assets and liabilities of domestic and international entities which are fully consolidated are recognized using Group-wide uniform accounting and valuation methods. The consolidation methods applied have not changed compared to the previous year. In the consolidated financial statements, receivables and liabilities, as well as expenses and income among consolidated entities, are eliminated. 2 .2 .3 BASIS OF FORE IGN CURRE NCY TR ANSL ATION IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” governs ac- counting for transactions and balances denominated in foreign curren- cies. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Any resulting translation differences are recognized in profit and loss. On the reporting date, assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate and income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the financial year. Any foreign exchange rate differences derived from these transla- tions are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Any further foreign exchange rate differences at the Group level are recognized in the “Translation Reserve” (stockholders’ equity).

The maxi- mum credit risk of financial guarantees (rent deposits) as of the reporting date amounted to € 0.6 million (31 December 2013: € 1.3 million). The contractually agreed maturities and the corresponding cash outflows of accounts payable are within one year. The convertible bonds due to re- lated parties have a term until 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2020 (maximum cash outflow: € 0.3 million). 2 .3.2 MARKE T RISK Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Group’s results of operations or the value of the financial instruments held. The Group is exposed to currency and interest rate risks. C U RREN CY RIS K The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros. While the expenses of MorphoSys are predominantly incurred in euros, a part of the revenues is dependent upon the current exchange rates of the US dollar. The Group examines the necessity of hedging foreign exchange rates to minimize currency risk during the year and addresses this risk by using derivative financial instruments. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 107 Notes The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk based on carrying amounts was composed as follows. as of 31 December 2014; in € EUR USD GBP Total Cash and Cash Equivalents Available-for-sale Financial Assets Bonds, Available-for-sale Accounts Receivable Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses TOTAL as of 31 December 2013; in € Cash and Cash Equivalents Available-for-sale Financial Assets Available-for-sale Assets Accounts Receivable Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses TOTAL Different foreign exchange rates and their impact on assets and liabilities were simulated in a detailed sensitivity analysis in order to determine the resulting effects on income. A 10 % increase of the euro against the US dollar as of 31 December 2014 would have slightly decreased the Group’s income (assuming stable interest rates). A 10 % decline of the euro against the US dollar would have slightly increased the Group’s income. Foreign currency issues in the British pound did not exist as of 31 December 2014. A 10 % increase of the euro against the US dollar as of 31 December 2013 would have slightly increased the Group’s profit from continuing opera- tions (assuming stable interest rates). A 10 % decline of the euro against the US dollar would have slightly decreased the Group’s profit from con- tinuing operations. A 10 % increase of the euro against the British pound as of 31 December 2013 would have reduced the Group’s profit from con- tinuing operations by € 0.1 million (assuming stable interest rates). A 10 % decline of the euro against the British pound would have increased the Group’s profit from continuing operations by € 0.1 million. If the foreign exchange rates for the US dollar against the euro remained unchanged at the average rate of 2013, the Group’s revenues from continu- ing operations would have been € 0.1 million higher (2013: Group reve- nues from continuing operations would have been € 0.1 million higher). 32,130,970 106,039,373 7,488,259 14,887,707 (17,898,438) 142,647,871 EUR 70,885,679 188,360,354 11,102,087 10,270,322 (17,260,346) 263,358,096 107,191 0 0 102,825 67,646 277,662 USD 24,643 0 0 0 60,316 84,959 0 0 0 0 0 0 32,238,161 106,039,373 7,488,259 14,990,532 (17,830,792) 142,925,533 GBP Total 963,374 0 0 0 10,009 973,383 71,873,696 188,360,354 11,102,087 10,270,322 (17,190,021) 264,416,438 IN T EREST R AT E RISK The Group’s risk exposure to changes in interest rates mainly concerns available-for-sale securities/investments. Changes in the general level of interest rates may lead to an increase or decrease in the fair value of these securities/investments. The Group’s investment focus places the safety of an investment ahead of its return. The interest rate risk is mitigated due to the fact that all securities/investments can be liquidated within a maxi- mum of two years. The Group is currently not subject to significant inter- est rate risks from liabilities recorded in the balance sheet. 2 .3.3 FAIR VALUE HIE R ARCHY AND ME ASURE ME NT PRO CE DURES The IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” guidelines must always be applied when, based on another IAS/IFRS guideline, measurement at fair value is required or permitted or disclosures regarding measurement at fair value are required. The fair value is the price that would be achieved on the valuation date upon the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between independent market participants or the price to be paid for the transfer of a liability (disposal or exit price). Accordingly, the fair value of a liability reflects the default risk (i.e., own credit risk). Measurement at fair value requires that the sale of the asset or the transfer of the liability takes place on the principal market or, if such a principal market is not available, on the most advantageous market. The principal market is the market with the highest volume and the highest level of activity to which the company has access. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 108 Notes Fair value is measured by using the same assumptions and taking into account the same characteristics of the asset or liability as would an inde- pendent market participant. Fair value is a market-based and not an enti- ty-specific measurement. For non-financial assets, fair value is deter- mined based on the highest and best use of the asset as determined by a market participant. For financial instruments, the use of bid prices for as- sets and ask prices for liabilities is permitted, but not required, if those prices most suitably reflect fair value in the respective circumstances. For simplification purposes, the use of mean rates is also permitted. Thus, IFRS 13 not only applies to financial assets, but also to all assets and liabilities. MorphoSys uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices). Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. HIER A RC H Y LE V EL 1 The fair value of financial instruments, which are traded in active mar- kets, is based upon quoted market prices as of the reporting date. A mar- ket is considered an active market if quoted prices are available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or a regulatory body that is easily and regularly accessible and these prices reflect cur- rent and regularly occurring market transactions at arm’s length condi- tions. For assets held by the Group, the appropriate quoted market price is the buyer’s bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1 (see also item 5.2 of these Notes*). *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 2 2 HIER A RC H Y LE V EL 2 The fair value of financial instruments, which are not traded in active markets, can be determined using measurement procedures. In this case, fair value is estimated on the basis of the results of a valuation method that makes maximum use of market data, and relies as little as possible on entity-specific inputs. If all inputs required for measuring fair value are observable, the instrument is allocated to Level 2. If important inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is allocated to Level 3. None of the financial assets and liabilities were allocated to hierarchy levels 2 or 3. The fair value of licenses payable is determined by the effective interest method. Convertible bonds are recorded at ascribed values, which approx- imate the amount becoming due upon settlement. There were no transfers from one fair value hierarchy level to another in 2014 and 2013. The fair values of financial assets and liabilities and the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet were composed as follows. 31 December 2014 (in 000’s €) Note Loans and Receivables Available- for-sale Other Financial Liabilities Total Carrying Amount Fair value Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounts Receivable Other Receivables Other Receivables, Net of Current Portion Shares Available-for-sale, Net of Current Portion Available-for-sale Financial Assets Bonds, Available-for-sale TOTAL Convertible Bonds - Liability Component Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses TOTAL * Declaration waived in line with IFRS 7.29 (a) 5.1 5.3 5.4 5.4 5.8 5.2 5.2 7.1 6.1 32,238 14,991 157,093 50,030 0 0 0 0 0 1,727 0 0 254,352 106,039 7,488 115,254 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32,238 14,991 157,093 50,030 1,727 106,039 7,488 369,606 32,238 * 157,093 50,030 * 106,039 7,488 352,889 0 0 0 0 0 0 (252) (252) (252) (17,831) (18,083) (17,831) (18,083) (17,831) (18,083) F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 109 Notes 31 December 2013 (in 000’s €) Note Loans and Receivables Available- for-sale Other Financial Liabilities Total Carrying Amount Fair value Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounts Receivable Other Receivables Shares Available-for-sale, Net of Current Portion Available-for-sale Financial Assets Bonds, Available-for-sale TOTAL Convertible Bonds - Liability Component Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses TOTAL 5.1 5.3 5.4 5.8 5.2 5.2 7.1 6.1 71,874 10,270 119,458 0 0 0 0 1,727 0 0 201,602 188,360 11,102 201,189 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 71,874 10,270 119,458 1,727 188,360 11,102 402,791 71,874 * 119,458 * 188,360 11,102 390,794 0 0 0 0 0 0 (299) (299) (299) (17,190) (17,489) (17,190) (17,489) (17,190) (17,489) * Declaration waived in line with IFRS 7.29 (a) 2.4 IMP AIRMEN T S 2 .4.1 NON - DE RIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUME NT S A financial instrument not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence to show that it is impaired. A financial instrument is impaired if objective evidence indicates that an event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset that could result in a loss, and if that event could have negative effects on the estimated future cash flows of that asset which can be assessed reliably. Objective evidence that financial instruments (including equity securi- ties) are impaired can include the default or delinquency of a debtor, indi- cations that a debtor or issuer will enter insolvency, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers in the Group, and economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, a significant or prolonged decline in an equity security’s fair value below its acquisition cost is objective evidence of impairment. 2 .4.2 RECE IVABLES The Group considers evidence of impairment of receivables both at an in- dividual and collective level. All individually significant receivables are tested specifically for impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively tested for any impairment that occurred but was not yet identified. Individually non-sig- nificant receivables are collectively tested for impairment by grouping to- gether receivables with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of default probabilities of the timing of impairment reversals and of the amount of loss incurred. These are then adjusted for management’s as- sessment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by the historical trends. For a financial instrument measured at amortized cost less impairment, impairment is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recog- nized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receiv- ables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognized. When a subsequent event (e.g. repayment by a debtor) causes the amount of im- pairment to decrease, the impairment is reversed through profit and loss. 2 .4.3 AVAIL ABLE - FOR - SALE FINANCIAL AS SE T S Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets is recognized by reclassi- fying the accumulated losses from the revaluation reserve in equity to profit and loss. The accumulated loss that is to be reclassified from equity to profit and loss is the difference between the acquisition cost less amor- tization and any principal repayment, and the current fair value less any impairment recognized previously in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent pe- riod, the fair value of an impaired available–for-sale financial asset in- creases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized in profit or loss, then the impairment loss is reversed with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss. However, any subsequent increase in the fair value of an available- for-sale financial instrument is recognized under equity in other compre- hensive income. 2 .4.4 NON - FINANCIAL AS SE T S The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date for any indication of impairment. The asset’s recoverable amount is estimated if such indica- tion exists. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is esti- mated at the same time each year. Impairment is recognized if the carry- ing amount of an asset or the cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its esti- mated recoverable amount. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 110 Notes The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the esti- mated future pre-tax cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments with regard to the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purposes of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped into the smallest group of assets that gen- erates cash flows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or CGUs. For the purposes of goodwill impair- ment testing, a ceiling test for the operating segment must be carried out. CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash flows and are utilized by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and are tested for impairment as part of the impairment testing of the CGU, to which the corporate asset was allo- cated. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. Goodwill impairment is not reversible. For all other assets, impairment recognized in prior peri- ods is assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the losses decreased or no longer exist. Impairment is reversed when there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Im- pairment loss can only be reversed to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been deter- mined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment had been rec- ognized. 2.5 ADDI T IONAL INF ORMAT ION 2 .5.1 KE Y ESTIMATES AND AS SUMP TIONS Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on his- torical experience and other factors that include expectations of future events that are believed to be realistic under the current circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting-related estimates will, by definition, seldomly corre- spond to the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that bear a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are addressed below. G O O DW ILL On an annual basis, the Group tests whether goodwill is subject to impair- ment in accordance with the accounting policies discussed in item 2.4.4*. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined on the basis of value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (see also item 5.7.5 of the Notes*). *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 0 9 a n d pa g e 1 2 6 A sensitivity analysis was performed for the technology development activities within the Partnered Discovery segment, which form the cash-generating unit and also comprise the goodwill from the acquisition of Sloning BioTechnology GmbH. A 30 % increase in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) or a 30 % decrease in future cash flows would not result in impairment of the cash-generating unit. IN C O ME TA X ES The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous tax jurisdictions. Key assumptions are required in determining the Group’s provision for in- come taxes. There are many transactions and calculations which are un- certain with respect to the calculation of the ultimate tax burden. As of 31 December 2014, deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 1.8 million were recognized as a result of positive busi- ness expectations at Sloning BioTechnology GmbH for financial years 2015 to 2019. In previous years, no deferred tax assets were reported for corpo- rate tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 2.4 million and trade tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 2.3 million as the usability of these tax loss carry forwards was deemed uncertain with regard to German tax legislation (Sec. 8 Para. 4, of the German Corporation Tax Act (KStG former version) and Sec. 8c KStG). In the event that a portion of the total tax loss carryforwards had not been utilizable due to a tax audit, the Group would be required to pay higher income taxes for future periods at an earlier point in time since the tax loss carryforwards would be consumed sooner than expected. The definitive nature of the tax loss carryforwards in ques- tion was confirmed in the context of a tax audit completed by the time the consolidated financial statements had been prepared. Therefore, deferred tax assets were recognized in the full amount of existing tax loss carryfor- wards. As of 31 December 2014, deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 1.2 million were recognized as a result of positive busi- ness expectations at MorphoSys AG for financial years 2015 to 2019. 2 .5.2 CAPITAL MANAGE ME NT With regard to capital management, the Management Board’s policy is to preserve a strong and sustainable capital base in order to maintain the confidence of investors, business partners, and the market and to support future business development. As of 31 December 2014, the equity ratio amounted to 81.8 % (31 December 2013: 78.6 %; see also the following over- view). Presently, the Group is not carrying financial debt. Pursuant to the respective incentive plans resolved by the Annual General Meeting, the Management Board and employees may participate in the Group’s performance through long-term performance-related remunera- tion components consisting of convertible bonds. MorphoSys also estab- lished long-term incentive programs (LTI plan) in the years 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. These programs are based on the performance-related is- suance of shares, so called “performance shares”, which are granted when certain predefined success criteria have been achieved (for more informa- tion, please refer to item 7.3 of the Notes*). There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management in the course of the year. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 3 0 in 000’ € 12/31/2014 12/31/2013 Stockholders’ Equity In % of Total Capital Debt In % of Total Capital TOTAL CAPITAL 348,803 81.8 % 77,675 18.2 % 426,478 352,145 78.6 % 95,511 21.4 % 447,657 F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 111 Notes 2.6 USE OF IN T ERE S T RAT E S F OR VAL UAT ION The Group uses interest rates to measure fair values. When calculating stock-based compensation, MorphoSys uses the interest rates of German government bonds with maturities of five or seven years on the date they were granted to determine the fair value of convertible bonds. 2.7 ACCOUN T ING P OL IC IE S APPL IED T O L INE I T EMS OF T HE INCOME S TAT EMEN T 2 .7.1 RE VE NUES AND RE VE NUE REC O GNITION The Group’s revenues include license fees and milestone payments, ser- vice fees and revenues from the sale of goods. Pursuant to IAS 18.9, reve- nues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receiv- able. In accordance with IAS 18.20b, revenues are only recognized to the extent that it is sufficiently probable that the Company will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction. LI C ENSE FEES A ND MILESTO NE PAY MEN T S Revenues related to non-refundable fees for providing access to technolo- gies, fees for the use of technologies, and license fees are recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the agreement unless a more appro- priate method of revenue recognition is available. The period of the agree- ment usually corresponds to the contractually agreed term of the research project, or in the case of contracts without an agreed project term, it cor- relates to the expected term of the collaboration. If all IAS 18.14 criteria are met, revenue is recognized immediately and in full. Revenues from milestone payments are recognized upon achievement of certain contrac- tual criteria. S ERV I C E FEES Service fees in the context of research and development collaborations are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and that their amount can be reliably determined, then the discount is recognized as a reduction in revenue at the time of the revenue recognition. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending upon the individual terms of the sales contract. In accordance with IAS 18.21 and 18.25, revenue from mul- tiple-element transactions is recognized by allocating the total consider- ation among the separately identifiable components based on their re- spective fair values and by applying IAS 18.20. The applicable revenue recognition criteria are assessed separately for each component. Deferred revenues consist of payments received from customers which may not yet be recognized as revenue since the related services specified in the contract have not yet been rendered. 2 .7.2 OPE R ATING E XPE NSE S PERSO NNEL E X PENSES RESU LT IN G FRO M STO C K O P T I O NS The Group applies the provisions of IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”. IFRS 2 requires the Group to recognize share-based payments at their fair value on the valuation date as a compensation expense for the period that the beneficiary renders the services related to the granting of the share- based payments. RESE A RC H A ND DE V ELO PM EN T Research costs are expensed in the period in which they occurred. Gener- ally, development costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with IAS 38.5 and IAS 38.11 to 38.23. Development costs are recognized as an intangible asset when the criteria of IAS 38.21 (probability of expected future economic benefits, reliability of cost measurement) are met, and if the Group can provide evidence pursuant to IAS 38.57. G ENER A L A N D A DMINIST R AT I V E This line item includes personnel expenses, consumables, operating costs, amortization of intangible assets, expenses for external services, infra- structure costs, and depreciation. O PER AT IN G LE ASE PAY M EN TS Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. According to SIC-15, all incentive agreements in the context of operating leases are rec- ognized as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset. The total amount of income resulting from incentives is recognized as a reduction in lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the rental. All lease agreements in the Group are to be classified exclusively as oper- ating leases. The Group did not engage in any finance lease arrangements in which the Group, as lessee, capitalized the assets at the start of the lease with the lower of fair value or the net present value of the mini- mum-lease payments and then depreciated the assets on a straight-line basis over its economic life. 2 .7.3 OTHE R INC OME G OV ERNM EN T G R A N TS Grants received from governmental agencies for the support of specific research and development projects are recognized in the income state- ment in the separate line item “other income” to the extent that the related expenses have already occurred. Under the terms of the grants, govern- mental agencies generally have the right to audit the use of the funds granted to the Group. Basically, government grants are cost subsidies for which recognition through profit and loss is limited to the corresponding costs. In financial year 2014, there were no payments granted that were required to be clas- sified as investment subsidies. 2 .7.4 OTHE R E XPE NSES The line item “other expenses” comprises mainly currency losses from the operating business. 2 .7.5 FINANCE INC OME Interest income is recognized in the income statement as it occurs and takes into account the effective rate of interest for the asset. 2 .7.6 FINANCE E XPE NSES Borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur and are included in finance expenses in the income statement. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 112 Notes 2 .7.7 INC OME TA X E XPE NSE S/INC OME Income taxes comprise current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are rec- ognized in the income statement unless the income taxes relate to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income. Current taxes are the expected taxes payable on the taxable income for the year, using the prevailing tax rates or those adopted on the reporting date, as well as any adjustments to taxes payable with respect to previous years. The calculation of deferred taxes is based on the balance sheet liability method and results in temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation pur- poses. Deferred taxes are calculated depending on the realization method expected for the carrying amount of assets and the repayment of liabili- ties. The calculation is also based on the prevailing tax rates or those ad- opted on the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and if they relate to income taxes imposed by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities that intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or when their tax assets and liabilities are to be realized simultaneously. Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is likely that future taxable income will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. 2 .7.8 E ARNINGS/LOS S PE R SHARE The Group reports basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to parent company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordi- nary shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in the same manner however, the net profit or loss attributable to parent company shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding are adjusted for any dilutive ef- fects resulting from convertible bonds or stock options granted to the Management Board and employees. 2.8 ACCOUN T ING P OL IC IE S APPL IED T O T HE A SSE T S OF T HE BAL ANC E SHEE T 2 .8.1 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALE NTS LI Q U ID AS SE T S The Group considers all cash at banks and on hand, as well as short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash or cash equivalents. The Group invests most of its cash and cash equiva- lents in deposits at several major financial institutions: Commerzbank, HypoVereinsbank, Bayern LB, Sparkasse, LBBW, Svenska Handelsbanken, BNP Paribas, and Deutsche Bank. The Group recognizes cash and cash equivalents at nominal value. Securi- ties are recognized and measured at fair value. Any fluctuations in the fair value of securities primarily composed of money market funds are di- rectly recognized in equity. Permanent impairment, however, is recog- nized in profit and loss. N O N - DER I VAT I V E FIN A N C I A L INST RU M EN TS Depending upon their classification, existing financial instruments are either measured at amortized cost (category “loans and receivables”) or at fair value (category “available-for-sale financial assets”). The amortized cost of current receivables and current liabilities generally corresponds to either the nominal amount or the repayment amount. All non-derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value, which is defined as the fair value of the consideration provided net of transaction costs. The Group applies IAS 39 for financial instruments in the form of debt and equity instruments. At the time of purchase, the Management Board de- termines the classification of the financial instrument and reviews the classification at each reporting date. The classification depends on the pur- pose for which the financial instruments were acquired. On 31 December 2014 and on 31 December 2013, some financial instruments held by the Group were classified as “available-for-sale”. These financial instruments are recognized or derecognized as of the date on which the Group commits to the purchase or sale of the financial instruments. Following their initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value and any resulting gain or loss is reported directly in the revaluation re- serve within equity until the financial instruments are sold, redeemed, or otherwise disposed of, or considered impaired, at which time the accumu- lated loss is reported in profit and loss. Guarantees granted for rent deposits, which have been collateralized with available-for-sale securities and obligations from convertible bonds issued to employees are recorded under other assets as restricted cash, since they are not available for use in the Group’s operations. In November 2012, MorphoSys acquired an interest in Lanthio Pharma B.V., a privately held company headquartered in Groningen, the Nether- lands. A contribution was also made to this company in September 2013. On 31 December 2014, the Group’s share in Lanthio Pharma B.V.’s share capital continued to amount to 19.98 %. No significant influence exists as defined by IAS 28. The investment is measured at amortized cost since it constitutes an equity instrument for which no quoted price is observable in an active market and whose fair value cannot reliably be assessed. The financial instrument is reported in the category “available-for-sale”. DERI VAT I V E FIN A N C I A L INST RU M EN T S The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. In accordance with IAS 39.9, all derivative fi- nancial instruments are held exclusively for trading and are initially rec- ognized at fair value. Subsequent to their initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, which is defined as their quoted market price on the reporting date. Any resulting gain or loss from derivatives is recognized in profit and loss because the Group currently does not apply hedge accounting. According to the Group’s foreign cur- rency hedging policy, the Group only hedges highly probable future cash flows and clearly identifiable receivables that can be collected within a twentyfour-month period. The use of derivative financial instruments is subject to a Group policy representing a guideline set out in writing for dealing with derivative financial instruments and approved by the Management Board. Any changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are docu- mented. 2 .8.2 AC C OUNTS RECE IVABLE , INC OME TA X RECE IVABLES , AND OTHE R RECE IVABLES Asset Class Accounts receivable are measured at amortized cost less any impairment, for example, allowances for doubtful accounts (see items 2.4.2 and 5.3 of the Notes*). *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 0 9 a n d pa g e 1 2 3 Income tax receivables mainly include receivables due from tax authori- ties in the context of capital gain taxes withheld. Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment. In 2014, investments were carried out in various financial assets which were allo- cated to the category “loans and receivables” pursuant to IAS 39 “Finan- cial Instruments”. 2 .8.3 INVE NTORIES Inventories are measured at the lower value of production or acquisition costs and net realizable value pursuant to the FIFO method. The acquisi- tion costs comprise all costs of purchase and all costs incurred in bringing the inventories into operating condition, while taking into account reduc- tions in the purchase price, such as bonuses and discounts. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less the estimated expenses necessary for completion and sale. Inventories may be classified as raw materials and supplies. 2 .8.4 PRE PAID E XPE NSES AND OTHE R CURRE NT AS SE TS Prepaid expenses include expenses that resulted in an outflow of cash prior to the reporting date, but which will only be recognized as expenses in the subsequent financial year. Such expenses mainly relate to mainte- nance contracts, sublicenses, and prepayments for external laboratory services not yet performed. Other current assets primarily comprise re- ceivables from the tax authorities as a result of value-added taxes. This item is recognized at nominal value. 2 .8.5 PROPE R T Y, PL ANT, AND EQUIPME NT Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at historical cost less accumu- lated depreciation (see also item 5.6 of the Notes*) and any impairment (see item 2.4.4 of the Notes*). Historical cost includes expenditure directly related to the purchase at the time of the acquisition. Replacements, build- ing alterations, and improvements are capitalized, while repair and main- tenance expenses are charged to expenses as they are incurred. Property, plant, and equipment is depreciated over its useful life on a straight-line basis (see table below). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 2 4 a n d pa g e 1 0 9 F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 113 Notes Useful Life 3 years Immediately 5 years 10 years 8 years 4 years Depreciation Rates 33 % 100 % 20 % 10 % 13 % 25 % Computer Hardware Low-value Laboratory and Office Equipment below € 150 Low-value Laboratory and Office Equipment between € 150 and € 1,000 Permanent Improvements to Property/Buildings Office Equipment Laboratory Equipment An asset’s residual value and useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. Borrowing costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition, con- struction, or production of a qualifying asset, are not included in the ac- quisition or production cost since the Group finances the entire operating business through the use of equity. 2 .8.6 INTANGIBLE AS SE TS Purchased intangible assets are capitalized at acquisition cost and intan- gible assets are exclusively amortized over their useful lives on a straight- line basis. Internally generated intangible assets are recognized to the extent that the recognition criteria set out in IAS 38 are met. Development costs are capitalized as intangible assets provided that the capitalization criteria described in IAS 38 have been met, namely, clear specification of the product or procedure, technical feasibility, intention of completion, use, commercialization, coverage of development costs through future free cash flows, reliable determination of these free cash flows, availability of sufficient resources for completion of development and sale. Amortization is recorded in research and development expenses. Expenses to be classified as research expenses are allocated to research and development expenses as defined by IAS 38. Subsequent expenditures for capitalized intangible assets are only capi- talized when they substantially increase the future economic benefits em- bodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred. PAT EN T S Patents obtained by the Group are recorded at acquisition cost, less accu- mulated amortization (see below), and any impairment (see item 2.4.4 of the Notes*). Patent costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lower of the estimated useful life of the patent (ten years) and the remain- ing patent term. Amortization commences when the patent is issued. Tech- nology identified in the purchase price allocation in the acquisition of Sloning BioTechnology GmbH is recorded at fair value at the time of acqui- sition, less accumulated amortization (useful life of ten years). *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 0 9 F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 114 Notes LI C ENSE RI G H TS The Group has acquired license rights from third parties by making up- front license payments, paying annual fees to maintain the license, and paying fees for sub-licenses. The Group amortizes upfront license pay- ments on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the ac- quired license (eight to ten years). The amortization period and the amor- tization method are reviewed at the end of each financial year pursuant to IAS 38.104. Annual fees to maintain the license are amortized over the term of each annual agreement. Sub-license fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or the estimated useful life of the collaboration for those contracts without a stipulated term. IN - LI C ENSED RE ASE A RC H PRO G R A MS This line item contains capitalized upfront payments from the in-licensing of two compounds for the Proprietary Development segment as well as a milestone payment for one of these compounds which was paid at a later time. The assets are recorded at acquisition cost and are not yet available for use and therefore not subject to amortization. The assets were tested for impairment on the reporting date as required by IAS 36. SO F T WA RE Software is recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization (see below) and any impairment (see item 2.4.4 of the Notes*). Amortiza- tion is recognized in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the esti- mated useful life of three to five years.

Lia- bilities with a term above one year are discounted to their net present value. Liabilities of uncertain timing or amount are recorded as provisions. IAS 37 requires the recognition of provisions for obligations to third par- ties arising from past events. Furthermore, provisions are only recognized for legal or factual obligations to third parties if the occurrence of the event is more likely than not. Provisions are recognized at the amount re- quired to settle the respective obligation and discounted to the reporting date if the interest effect is material. The amount required to meet the obligation also includes expected price and cost increases. The interest portion of the added provisions is recorded in the finance result. The measurement of provisions is based on past experience and considers the circumstances in existence on the reporting date. 2 .9.2 TA X LIABILITIES Tax liabilities are recognized and measured at their nominal value. Tax liabilities contain obligations from current taxes, excluding deferred taxes. Accruals for trade taxes, corporate taxes, and similar taxes on in- come are determined based on the taxable income of the consolidated com- panies less any prepayments made. 2 .9.3 CURRE NT P OR TION OF DE FE RRE D RE VE NUE Upfront payments from customers for services to be rendered by the Group are recognized as deferred revenue in accordance with IAS 18.13 and measured at the lower of fair value or nominal value. The correspond- ing rendering of services and revenue recognition occurs within the twelve month period following the reporting date. 2 .9.4 DE FE RRE D RE VE NUE AND PROVISIONS , NE T OF CURRE NT P OR TION This line item includes the non-current portion of deferred upfront pay- ments from customers in accordance with IAS 18.13 which are measured at the lower of fair value or nominal value. Due to its low level of material- ity, this line item is not discounted to its present value in the financial year despite its long-term maturity. 2 .9.5 C ONVE R TIBLE BONDS DUE TO RE L ATE D PAR TIE S The Group issued convertible bonds to the Management Board and to em- ployees of the Group. In accordance with IAS 32.28, the equity component of a convertible bond must be recorded separately under additional paid-in capital. The equity component is determined by deducting the separately determined amount of the liability component from the fair value of the convertible bond. Any impact arising from the equity component is recog- nized in profit and loss in personnel expenses resulting from share-based payments, whereas any impact on profit and loss arising from the liability component is recognized as interest expense. The Group applies the provi- sions of IFRS 2 “Share-based Payments” for all convertible bonds granted to the Management Board and the Group’s employees. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 115 Notes 2 .9.6 DE FE RRE D TA X LIABILITIES The recognition and measurement of deferred taxes are based on the pro- visions of IAS 12. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the liability method, which is common practice internationally. Under this method, the taxes expected to be paid or recovered in subsequent finan- cial years are based on the applicable tax rate at the time of recognition. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded separately in the balance sheet. Deferred tax liabilities take into account the future tax effects of temporary differences between the valuation of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities if the taxes are levied by the same taxation authority and have matching terms. Pur- suant to IAS 12, deferred tax assets and liabilities may not be discounted. 2 .9.7 STO CKHOLDE RS ’ EQUIT Y C O MM O N STO C K Ordinary shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. When common stock that was recorded as stockholders’ equity is repurchased, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from stockholders’ equity net of taxes and is classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the proceeds are recognized as an increase in stockholders’ equity, and the profit or loss resulting from the transaction is offset against accumulated income. T RE ASU RY STO C K Repurchases of own shares at the price quoted on an exchange or at mar- ket value are recorded in this line item. A DDIT I O N A L PA ID - IN CA PITA L Additional paid-in capital mainly includes personnel expenses resulting from the grant of stock options, convertible bonds, and performance shares, and the proceeds from newly created shares in excess of their nominal value. RE VA LUAT I O N RESERV E The revaluation reserve mainly consists of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are measured directly in equity until they are sold. T R A NSL AT I O N RESERV E The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences which are not recognized in profit and loss. 3 Segment Reporting MorphoSys Group applies IFRS 8 “Segment Reporting”. An operating seg- ment is defined as a component of an entity that engages in business activ- ities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses and whose op- erating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment information is presented with respect to the Group’s operating segments. The operating segments are based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structures. The segment results and segment as- sets include items that can be either directly attributed to the individual segment or can be allocated to the segments on a reasonable basis. Inter- company pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. The Management Board determines the economic success of the segments based on key figures chosen so that all income and expenses are included. The operating earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT, is the key benchmark for measuring and evaluating the operating results. The EBIT margin reflects the ratio of EBIT to revenues. The Group consists of the following operating segments. 3.1 PROPRIE TARY DEVEL OPMEN T This segment comprises all of the activities relating to the proprietary development of therapeutic antibodies. Presently, the activities of this seg- ment comprise the clinical development of the proprietary program MOR208, the co-development of MOR202 with Celgene, and the comple- tion of the clinical development of the MOR103 program under the cooper- ation with GSK. MorphoSys is also pursuing further programs at an early stage in proprietary development or as co-development. 3.2 P AR T NERED DI S COVERY MorphoSys possesses one of the leading technologies for the generation of therapeutics based on human antibodies. The Group markets this technol- ogy commercially via partnerships with numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. This segment encompasses all operational ac- tivities relating to these commercial agreements, as well as the majority of the technological development. 3.3 ABD SERO T EC Upon sale of substantially all of the AbD Serotec business on 10 January 2013 to Bio-Rad, the quantitative and qualitative criteria of IFRS 8.12 f. were no longer fulfilled so that this segment was no longer a reportable segment under IFRS 8.11. Therefore, the results generated by the AbD Serotec segment until 10 January 2013, which were immaterial, were reclassified to “Unallocated”. AC C U M U L AT ED IN C O ME The “accumulated income” line item comprises the Group’s accumulated consolidated net profits/losses. A separate measurement of this item is not conducted. 3. 4 CRO SS -SEGMEN T DI S CL O SURE S With cross-segment disclosures, segment revenues are based on the customers’ geographical locations. The information on segment assets is based on the respective location of the assets. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 116 Notes For the Twelve-month Period Ended 31 December (in 000’s €) External Revenues Intersegment Revenues RE VENUES , TOTAL Cost of Goods Sold Other Operating Expenses Inter-segment Costs TOTAL OPER ATIN G E XPENSES Other Income Other Expenses SEG MENT EB IT Finance Income Finance Expenses Other Income from Sale of Assets and Liabilities of Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale PROFIT BEFORE TA XES Income Tax (Expenses)/Income Income Tax Expenses in connection with the Sale of Assets and Liabilities of the Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale NE T PROFIT/(LOS S) Current Assets Non-current Assets TOTAL SEG MENT AS SE T S Current Liabilities Non-current Liabilities Stockholders’ Equity TOTAL SEG MENT LIAB ILITIES AND EQUIT Y Capital Expenditure Depreciation and Amortization Proprietary Development Partnered Discovery Unallocated Elimination Group Discontinued Operations Continuing Operations thereof from thereof from 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 15,041 0 15,041 0 33,535 0 33,535 105 0 (18,389) 0 0 0 (18,389) 0 0 (18,389) 6,200 30,079 36,279 25,343 40,414 0 65,757 17,335 1,149 26,909 0 26,909 0 27,500 0 27,500 129 0 (462) 0 0 0 (462) 0 0 (462) 2,783 15,601 18,384 23,436 53,885 0 77,321 3,150 1,010 48,937 0 48,937 0 23,041 0 23,041 22 0 25,918 0 0 0 25,918 0 0 25,918 25,887 17,347 43,234 2,558 4,263 0 6,821 2,512 2,621 51,044 0 51,044 0 25,537 0 25,537 80 227 25,360 0 0 0 25,360 0 0 25,360 24,036 19,807 43,843 3,681 5,283 0 8,964 1,883 3,291 0 0 0 0 0 13,533 13,533 655 550 (13,428) 1,810 220 0 (11,838) 1,296 0 (10,542) 290,308 56,657 346,965 4,802 295 348,803 353,900 631 364 610 0 610 158 16,992 0 17,150 (16,626) 600 686 867 115 8,001 (7,873) (3,345) (358) (11,576) 379,749 5,681 385,430 8,290 936 352,146 361,372 530 534 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63,978 78,563 63,978 77,960 70,109 70,187 2,265 70,109 67,922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63,978 70,109 0 0 0 782 550 (5,899) 1,810 220 0 (4,309) 1,296 0 (3,013) 322,395 104,083 426,478 32,703 44,972 348,803 426,478 20,478 4,134 78,563 158 70,029 0 0 8,272 809 913 867 115 8,001 17,025 (3,345) (358) 13,322 406,568 41,089 447,657 35,407 60,104 352,146 447,657 5,563 4,835 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63,978 77,960 2,107 70,109 67,922 603 0 603 158 0 12 2 0 5 (1,652) 8,001 6,344 (35) (358) 5,951 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 22 0 0 0 782 550 (5,899) 1,810 220 0 (4,309) 1,296 0 (3,013) 322,395 104,083 426,478 32,703 44,972 348,803 426,478 20,478 4,134 0 0 0 9,924 797 911 867 110 0 10,681 (3,310) 0 7,371 406,568 41,089 447,657 35,407 60,104 352,146 447,657 5,557 4,813 The segment result is defined as segment revenues less the segment’s op- erating expenses. In financial year 2014, impairments totaling € 4.1 mil- lion were recognized. Of this amount, € 2.1 million was attributable to the Proprietary Development segment and € 2.0 million to the Partnered Dis- covery segment (2013: impairment of €  1.0  million in the Proprietary Development segment and of € 0.6 million in the Partnered Discovery seg- ment). The Group’s key customers are assigned to the Partnered Discovery seg- ment as well as the Proprietary Development segment. As of 31 December 2014, the most important single customer accounted for a carrying amount of € 9.3 million of total accounts receivable (31 December 2013: € 8.2 mil- lion). Three individual customers of the Group who are predominantly as- signed to the Partnered Discovery segment, contributed €  43.2  million, € 13.5 million, and € 2.0 million to total revenues in 2014. In 2013, three customers mainly assigned to the Partnered Discovery segment accounted for € 41.6 million, € 21.3 million, and € 6.0 million of the Group’s total revenues. In 2014, “unallocated” other operating expenses primarily included per- sonnel expenses (2014: € 8.7 million; 2013: € 9.2 million), costs for exter- nal services (2014: €  2.5  million; 2013: €  3.0  million), and costs for infrastructure (2014: €  0.8  million; 2013: €  1.2  million). Current assets categorized as “unallocated” mainly composed of cash and cash equiva- lents, securities and bonds available-for-sale, as well as other receivables (31 December 2014: € 287.3 million; 31 December 2013: € 377.5 million). Non-current assets categorized as “unallocated” mainly comprised long- term investments of financial assets of € 50.0 million (31 December 2013: €  0.0  million). Current liabilities categorized as “unallocated” included mainly accounts payable and accrued expenses (31 December 2014: € 4.0 million; 31 December 2013: € 5.4 million) as well as provisions (31 December 2014: € 0.8 million; 31 December 2013: € 2.9 million). For the Twelve-month Period Ended 31 December (in 000’s €) 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 2014 2013 Proprietary Development Partnered Discovery Unallocated Elimination Group thereof from Discontinued Operations thereof from Continuing Operations F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 117 Notes External Revenues Intersegment Revenues RE VENUES , TOTAL Cost of Goods Sold Other Operating Expenses Inter-segment Costs TOTAL OPER ATIN G E XPENSES Other Income Other Expenses SEG MENT EB IT Finance Income Finance Expenses PROFIT BEFORE TA XES Income Tax (Expenses)/Income NE T PROFIT/(LOS S) Current Assets Non-current Assets TOTAL SEG MENT AS SE TS Current Liabilities Non-current Liabilities Stockholders’ Equity TOTAL SEG MENT LIAB ILITIES AND EQUIT Y Capital Expenditure Depreciation and Amortization 15,041 26,909 48,937 51,044 15,041 26,909 48,937 51,044 33,535 27,500 23,041 25,537 33,535 105 27,500 129 23,041 25,537 (18,389) (462) 25,918 25,360 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (18,389) 6,200 30,079 36,279 25,343 40,414 0 65,757 17,335 1,149 (462) 2,783 15,601 18,384 23,436 53,885 0 77,321 3,150 1,010 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25,918 25,887 17,347 43,234 2,558 4,263 0 6,821 2,512 2,621 80 227 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25,360 24,036 19,807 43,843 3,681 5,283 0 8,964 1,883 3,291 Other Income from Sale of Assets and Liabilities of Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale (18,389) (462) 25,918 25,360 Income Tax Expenses in connection with the Sale of Assets and Liabilities of the Disposal Group Classified as Held for Sale 0 0 0 0 13,533 0 13,533 655 550 (13,428) 1,810 220 0 (11,838) 1,296 0 (10,542) 290,308 56,657 346,965 4,802 295 348,803 353,900 631 364 610 0 610 158 16,992 0 17,150 600 686 (16,626) 867 115 8,001 (7,873) (3,345) (358) (11,576) 379,749 5,681 385,430 8,290 936 352,146 361,372 530 534 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 63,978 0 63,978 0 70,109 0 70,109 782 550 (5,899) 1,810 220 0 (4,309) 1,296 0 (3,013) 322,395 104,083 426,478 32,703 44,972 348,803 426,478 20,478 4,134 78,563 0 78,563 158 70,029 0 70,187 809 913 8,272 867 115 8,001 17,025 (3,345) (358) 13,322 406,568 41,089 447,657 35,407 60,104 352,146 447,657 5,563 4,835 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 603 0 603 158 2,107 0 2,265 12 2 (1,652) 0 5 8,001 6,344 (35) (358) 5,951 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 22 63,978 0 63,978 0 70,109 0 70,109 782 550 (5,899) 1,810 220 0 (4,309) 1,296 0 (3,013) 322,395 104,083 426,478 32,703 44,972 348,803 426,478 20,478 4,134 77,960 0 77,960 0 67,922 0 67,922 797 911 9,924 867 110 0 10,681 (3,310) 0 7,371 406,568 41,089 447,657 35,407 60,104 352,146 447,657 5,557 4,813 The following overview shows the regional distribution of the Group’s revenues. 4 Notes to the Income Statement in 000’ € Germany Europe and Asia USA and Canada Total from Continuing Operations Total from Discontinued Operations TOTAL 2014 733 44,628 18,617 63,978 0 63,978 4 .1 REVENUE S In 2014, revenues from continuing operations included license fees and milestone payments totaling €  43.5  million (2013: €  57.8  million).

No deferred tax assets were reported in previous years for a por- tion of the corporate tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 2.4 million and trade tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 2.3 million as the us- ability of these tax loss carryforwards was deemed uncertain with regard to German tax regulation (Sec. 8 Para. 4 of the German Corporation Tax Act (KStG-former version) and Sec. 8c of the German Corporation Tax Act (KStG)) (see also item 2.9.6 of the Notes*). The definitive nature of the tax loss carryforwards in question was confirmed in the context of a tax audit completed by the time the consolidated financial statements had been pre- pared. Therefore, deferred tax assets were recognized in the full amount of existing tax loss carryforwards. The tax loss carryforwards may be carried forward indefinitely and in unlimited amounts. As of 2004, Ger- man tax law restricts the offsetting of taxable income against existing tax loss carryforwards up to an amount of € 1.0 million plus 60 % of taxable income exceeding € 1.0 million. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 1 5 As of 31 December 2014, deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards in the amount of € 1.2 million were recognized as a result of positive busi- ness expectations at MorphoSys AG for financial years 2015 to 2019.

As of 31 December 2014 and 2013, accounts receivable included unbilled receivables amounting to € 3,649,124 and € 1,597,498, respectively. Based on the Management Board’s estimate, no net loss for allowances for doubtful receivables was recognized in profit and loss in 2014 (2013: net loss of € 238,900). In 2013, this loss was attributed to the Partnered Dis- covery segment. 5.4 O T HER REC EIVABL E S As of 31 December 2014, the Company held current financial assets amounting to €  157.1  million (31 December 2013: €  119.3  million) and non-current financial assets in the amount of € 50.0 million (31 December 2013: € 0 million), which were assigned to the category “loans and receiv- ables” in accordance with IAS 39 “Financial Instruments”. These assets consisted mainly of time deposits with fixed or variable interest rates. Interest income of €  914,140 (2013: €  273,207) was recognized in the finance result. The risks associated with these financial instruments mainly result from credit risks of banks. There was no indication for im- pairment in financial year 2014. A portion of the € 4.7 million purchase price for the divested AbD Serotec business held in an escrow account was released during the third quarter of 2014. Under the Group’s hedging policy, highly probable cash flows and definite foreign-currency receivables, collectable within a twenty-four-month period, are tested as to whether they should be hedged. As of 2003, MorphoSys began using foreign currency options and forwards in order to hedge its foreign exchange risk against US dollar receivables. These deriv- atives are recorded at their fair values as “other receivables”. As of 31 December 2014, there were 24 unsettled forward rate agreements with terms ranging from one to 24 months. The resulting unrealized gain of € 44,506 as of 31 December 2014 was recorded in the finance result. As of 31 December 2013, no unsettled forward rate agreements or option con- tracts were outstanding. At the beginning of the year, the Group entered into four option contracts that reached maturity during financial year 2014. A realized loss of € 0.01 million (2013: loss of € 0.02 million) was recorded in finance expenses. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 124 Notes 5.6 PROPER T Y, PL AN T, AND EQUIPMEN T in 000’ € Cost 1 JANUARY 2014 Additions Disposals 31 DECEMBER 2014 Accumulated Depreciation 1 JANUARY 2014 Depreciation Charge for the Year Write-offs for the Year Disposals 31 DECEMBER 2014 Carrying Amount 1 JANUARY 2014 31 DECEMBER 2014 Cost 1 JANUARY 2013 Additions Disposals 31 DECEMBER 2013 Accumulated Depreciation 1 JANUARY 2013 Depreciation Charge for the Year Write-offs for the Year Disposals 31 DECEMBER 2013 Carrying Amount 1 JANUARY 2013 31 DECEMBER 2013 Office and Laboratory Equipment Furniture and Fixtures 12,161 2,864 (1,062) 13,963 10,173 1,386 57 (1,056) 10,560 1,988 3,403 12,436 1,004 (1,279) 12,161 9,485 1,435 522 (1,269) 10,173 2,951 1,988 1,867 35 (137) 1,765 1,687 60 0 (137) 1,610 180 155 1,892 39 (64) 1,867 1,651 84 16 (64) 1,687 241 180 Total 14,028 2,899 (1,199) 15,728 11,860 1,446 57 (1,193) 12,170 2,168 3,558 14,328 1,043 (1,343) 14,028 11,136 1,519 538 (1,333) 11,860 3,192 2,168 In financial year 2014, impairment of property, plant, and equipment amounted to € 0.1 million (2013: € 0.5 million) and mainly related to labo- ratory equipment in the Partnered Discovery segment.

Amortization and impairment amounted to € 0.8 mil- lion and € 4.1 million, respectively. 5.7.3 IN - LICE NSE D RESE ARCH PRO GR AMS The carrying amount of in-licensed research programs increased from € 12.8 million to € 28.3 million in 2014. This increase was primarily the result of the in-licensing of a research program from Emergent in the form of an upfront payment of US$ 20  million. The in-licensed compounds, which were reported at acquisition cost, are currently not available for use and were therefore not yet amortized. 5.8 SHARE S, AVAIL ABL E-F OR-SAL E Shares available-for-sale comprise the 19.98 % share in Dutch Lanthio Pharma B.V. The investment increased in financial year 2013 due to a con- tribution in the amount of € 0.8 million to a total of € 1.7 million and re- mained unchanged in 2014. 5.9 PREP AID EXPENSE S AND O T HER ASSE T S This line item included the non-current portion of prepaid expenses and other assets. The Group has classified certain line items in other assets as “restricted cash” which are not available for use in the Group’s operations (see items 2.8.1, 5.1, and 5.2 of the Notes*). As of 31 December 2014 and 2013, the Group’s restricted cash amounted to € 0.6 million and € 1.3 mil- lion, respectively. This included issued rent guarantees as well as convert- ible bonds granted to employees in the amount of € 251,679 and € 298,606, respectively. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 1 2 a n d pa g e 1 2 1 – 1 2 2 This line item is composed as follows. in 000’ € 12/31/2014 12/31/2013 5.7.4 SOF T WARE In financial year 2014, additions to this line item totaled € 1.0 million.

The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit of the team for technology development within the Partnered Discovery segment has been determined on the basis of value in use calculations; the value-in-use was higher than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit. A detailed sensitivity analysis was also performed. The cash flow forecasts are based on a period of ten years since the Management Board believes that commercialisation by means of licensing agreements, upfront payments, milestone payments, funded re- search, and royalties will fully pay off in the medium to longer term. For this reason, a planning horizon of ten years is considered appropriate for the value-in-use calculation. Cash flow forecasts are mainly based on the central assumption that the currently developed technology will prove to be very beneficial for new and existing customers and will lead to a num- ber of new agreements. The values of the underlying key assumptions were determined using both internal (past experience) and external sources of information (market information). On the basis of the updated cash flow forecast for the next ten years, the value in use was determined as follows: A beta factor of 1.2 (2013: 1.3), WACC of 11.5 % (2013: 15.2 %), as well as a perpetual growth rate of 1 %. The fair value assumptions correlate to the Management Board’s forecasts in term of future development and are based on internal planning scenarios as well as external sources of information. 6 Notes to Equity and Liabilities of the Balance Sheet 6.1 ACCOUN T S P AYABL E AND ACCRUED EXPENSE S Accounts payable are non-interest-bearing and, under normal circum- stances, have payment terms of no more than 30 days.

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting in May 2014, the Supervisory Board was given authorization to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (PwC AG), Munich, as the auditor. In financial year 2014, PwC AG received compensation from MorphoSys in the amount of € 265,483, including audit fees in the amount of € 175,900, fees for other audit-related and valuation services of € 52,300, fees for tax services in the amount of € 5,855 as well as fees for other services in the amount of € 31,428. 6.2 PROVI SIONS AND TAX L IABIL I T IE S As of 31 December 2014, the Group recorded provisions and tax liabilities in the amount of € 0.8 million (2013: € 3.6 million for the entire Group). Tax liabilities mainly comprised income tax expenses. As of 31 December 2014, provisions and tax liabilities were uncertain in terms of their amount and are expected to be utilized in 2015.

Each no-par value share is entitled to one vote. Common stock increased by € 235,952 or 235,952 shares as a result of the exercise of 235,952 con- vertible bonds granted to the Management Board and the Senior Manage- ment Group. The weighted average exercise price per exercised convert- ible bonds amounted to € 16.79. As of 31 December 2014, the Company held 450,890 shares in treasury stock in the amount of € 14,251,962, which corresponds to an increase of € 7,833,944 compared to 31 December 2013 (339,890 shares, € 6,418,018). This increase was the result of the repurchase of 111,000 own stocks on the stock exchange. The treasury stock may be used for all purposes named in the authorization of the Annual General Meetings on 19 May 2011 as well as on 23 May 2014, and particularly for any existing or future employee participation schemes and/or to finance acquisitions. The shares may also, however, be redeemed. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 128 Notes 6.4.2 AUTHORIZE D CAPITAL Compared to 31 December 2013, the number of authorized ordinary shares increased from 2,335,822 to 4,957,910. This resulted from the creation of the new Authorized Capital 2014-I at the Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2014. With the Supervisory Board’s consent, the Management Board is authorized to increase the Company’s common stock on one or more occasions by up to €  2,622,088 by issuing up to 2,622,088 new, no-par value bearer shares up to and including the date of 30 April 2019. 6.4.3 C ONDITIONAL CAPITAL The number of ordinary shares of conditional capital decreased to 7,166,848 compared to 8,057,470 on 31 December 2013. At the Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2014, the Conditional Capital 1999-I in the amount of € 70,329 and the Conditional Capital 2008/II in the amount of €  212,077 were cancelled. Conditional Capital 2003-II was reduced by € 372,264 from € 725,064 to € 352,800. A further reduction of Conditional Capital 2003-II of € 235,952 to a total of € 116,848 resulted from the exer- cise of 235,952 conversion rights in 2014. The reduction of Conditional Capital through the exercise of 235,952 conversion rights was registered for entry in the commercial register in January 2015. 6.4.4 TRE ASURY STO CK In the years 2013 and 2014, the Group repurchased own shares.

The total increase of € 7,412,069 re- sulted from the exercise of convertible bonds granted totaling € 3,725,682. Furthermore, additional paid-in capital increased by € 3,686,387 from per- sonnel expenses resulting from share-based payments. In 2013, additional paid-in capital increased by € 135,718,385. The capital increase in September 2013 and the agreement with Celgene resulted in a total increase of € 124,369,723. In addition, the exercise of stock options and personnel expenses resulting from share-based payments resulted in an increase of € 6,606,570 and € 4,742,092, respectively. IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” requires the consideration of the effects of share-based payments if the Group acquires goods or services in ex- change for stocks or stock options (“settlement in equity instruments”) or other assets that represent the value of a specific number of stocks or stock options (“cash settlement”). The key impact of IFRS 2 on the Group arises from the expense of using an option pricing model in connection with share-based incentives for employees and the Management Board. Further information may be found under items 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of the Notes*. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 2 9 – 1 3 0 6.4.6 RE VALUATION RESE RVE On 31 December 2014, the revaluation reserve amounted to € -4.642 (31 December 2013: € 240,381). The reduction amounting to a total of € 245,023 arose from a change in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and bonds of €  347,517, which was partly offset by the effects from the equity-related recognition of deferred taxes in the amount of € 102,494. 6.4.7 TR ANSL ATION RESE RVE The translation reserve increased by € 101,290 from € 192,556 on 31 De- cember 2013 to € 293,846 on 31 December 2014. This item included ex- change rate differences arising from the revaluation of Group company fi- nancial statements of prepared in foreign currencies as well as differences between the exchange rates used in the balance sheet and the income statement. The average stock price at the time of the repurchases carried out in 2014 amounted to € 70.53 per share (2013: € 33.43 per share). Treasury stocks are recognized at acquisition cost. 6.4.8 AC CUMUL ATE D INC OME The consolidated net loss amounting to € 3,012,629 is reported in accumu- lated income. Thus, accumulated income declined from €  20,945,968 in 2013 to € 17,933,339 in 2014. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 129 Notes The exercise of the conversion rights is only admissible after the expira- tion of a four-year vesting period from the grant date. In the event of a change of control, the vesting period will be shortened to two years from the grant date. For every year without a notice of termination of the em- ployment relationship with the Company or an affiliated company, 25 % of the conversion rights will become vested. In the event of a change of con- trol, all unvested conversion rights become vested. If an employment or service contract of a beneficiary is terminated without notice, no further conversion rights can be vested in line with the above mentioned vesting scheme. Thus, upon rendition of the notice, all conver- sion rights still unvested by this time will expire without substitution. In the event of a contractual notice of termination of such employment or service contract with the beneficiary, or a mutually agreed dissolution contract, the previous sentence applies and becomes effective as of the date of termination of the employment or service contract. The following table shows the development of the convertible bond plans for employees of the Group in financial years 2014 and 2013.

The exercise price of the convertible bonds was € 16.79 and equaled the Company’s share price in the XETRA closing auction of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the trading day preceding the issuance of the convert- ible bonds. Each convertible bond having a par value of € 0.33 entitles the conversion into one no-par value bearer share of the Group against pay- ment of the exercise price. The beneficiaries may only exercise their con- version rights following a vesting period of four years beginning after the grant date. Exercise of the conversion rights is only possible if, on one trading day during the lifetime of the convertible bond, the share price reached at least 110 % of the exercise price as of the grant date. After 31 December 2015, these convertible bonds can no longer be exercised. If the conversion rights are not exercised, the beneficiaries receive a reimburse- ment of the amount paid to acquire the conversion rights (€ 0.33 per con- vertible bond/share). Convertible bonds are recorded at their accreted value, which closely approximates to the principal amount on their due date. In financial year 2014, a total of 235,952 convertible bonds were exercised at a weighted-average share price of € 69.69. 7.1.2 2013 PRO GR AM On 1 April 2013, MorphoSys AG granted the Management Board and mem- bers of the Senior Management Group convertible bonds with a total nom- inal value of € 225,000 and divided into 449,999 bearer bonds with equal rights from “Conditional Capital 2008-III”. The beneficiaries have the right to convert the bonds received into shares of the Company. Each convertible bond may be exchanged for one of the Company’s bearer shares equal to the proportional amount of common stock, which currently stands at € 1. The exercise of the convertible bonds is subject to several conditions, such as the achievement of performance targets, the expiration of vesting peri- ods, the exercisability of the conversion rights, the existence of an employ- ment or service contract which is not under notice, and the commence- ment of the exercise period. The conversion price amounted to € 31.88 and was derived from the Com- pany’s share price in the XETRA closing auction of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the trading day preceding the issuance of the convertible bonds. The exercise of the conversion rights is admissible if, on at least one trading day during the lifetime of the convertible bonds, the share price of the Company has amounted to more than 120 % of the price in the XETRA closing auction of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the trading day pre- ceding the issuance of the convertible bonds. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 130 Notes The following overview includes the weighted-average exercise price as well as information on the contract duration of significant groups of con- vertible bonds as of 31 December 2014. Range of Exercise Prices € 10.00 – € 25.00 € 25.01 – € 40.00 Number Outstanding Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) Weighted- average Exercise Price (€) Number Exercisable Weighted- average Exercise Price (€) 80,848 449,999 530,847 1.00 5.25 4.60 16.79 31.88 29.58 80,848 112,500 193,348 16.79 31.88 29.58 The Group recognizes personnel expenses resulting from convertible bonds in accordance with IFRS 2 and IAS 32.28. The equity component of the convertible bonds is presented separately in additional paid-in capital. The corresponding amount is recognized as personnel expenses from con- vertible bonds. In 2014 and 2013, compensation expenses related to con- vertible bonds amounted to € 1,609,086 and € 1,997,414, respectively. S T O CK APPREC IAT ION RIGH T S 7.2 On 1 October 2010, employees of MorphoSys AG were granted 15,000 stock appreciation rights at the same conditions as the convertible bonds granted on 1 April 2010. Compensation expenses amounted to € 272.953 in 2014 (2013: €  449.420). In financial year 2014, all stock appreciation rights were exercised at an average share price of € 74.44. L ONG -T ERM INC EN T IVE PRO GRAMS 7.3 The total decline in recognized personnel expenses from share-based pay- ments resulted from the modification carried out in financial year 2013 for the 2011 and 2012 LTI programs. For the 2011 LTI program, vesting peri- ods were modified so that the beneficiaries’ claims would become vested at a rate of one quarter per year. However, in the case of the 2012 LTI pro- gram, claims become vested on a pro rata basis. With this modification, changes in the interpretation and development of labor law were taken into account. As a result of the adaptation, personnel expenses are ac- counted for comparatively earlier within the four-year period, resulting in a decrease of personnel expenses in 2014 compared to the previous year. 7.3.1 2011 LONG -TE RM INCE NTIVE PRO GR AM On 1 June 2011, MorphoSys established a long-term incentive plan (LTI plan) for the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. Ac- cording to IFRS, this program is considered a share-based payment pro- gram with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accord- ingly. The LTI plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares of MorphoSys AG if predefined key performance criteria have been achieved. These criteria are assessed and approved an- nually by the Supervisory Board. These key performance criteria pres- ently consist of revenues, EBIT, and the number of projects in the R&D portfolio. The grant date was 1 June 2011 and the vesting period is four years. A total of 25 % of the performance shares will become vested in each year of the four-year vesting period, provided that the performance criteria set for the respective period were met by 100 %. The annual number of vested shares shall be reduced to the extent that the performance criteria of the relevant year were fulfilled only between 50 % and 99 %, and increased to the extent that the performance criteria were achieved by more than 100 % (maxi- mum 110 %). In consideration of these conditions, the ordinary shares of MorphoSys AG will be delivered to the beneficiaries after the four-year vesting period. In any case, the maximum pay-out at the end of the four- year period is limited by a factor determined by the Group which generally amounts to “1”. The Supervisory Board may deviate from this factor, for example, if the level of payments is considered to be inappropriate given the general development of the Group. If the number of repurchased shares is not sufficient for servicing the LTI plan, MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a certain amount of the LTI plan in cash in the amount of the performance shares at the end of the vesting period, provided the cash amount does not exceed 200 % of the fair value of the performance shares on the grant date. If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office at MorphoSys Group prematurely before expiration of the four year performance period, the Management Board member (or his/her heirs) is entitled to perfor- mance shares determined on a precise daily pro rata basis. If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office within MorphoSys Group for good reason as defined by Sec. 626 Para. 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) prematurely before expiration of the four-year performance period, the beneficiary will not be entitled to an allocation of performance shares. If a change of control occurs during the course of the four-year vesting period, all performance shares are considered fully vested. In every above named case, the allocation of the performance shares only occurs at the end of the four-year vesting period. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 131 Notes In June 2011, MorphoSys repurchased 84,019 of its own shares on the stock exchange at an average price of € 20.79 per share for the 2011 LTI plan. The repurchased shares may be used for all purposes named in the authorization of the Annual General Meetings on 19 May 2011 as well as on 23 May 2014 and particularly for any existing or future employee par- ticipation schemes and/or to finance acquisitions. However, they may also be redeemed. These 84,019 shares were granted to the beneficiaries retro- actively on 1 June 2011. This included 53,997 shares for the Management Board (for further information please see the table titled “Performance Shares” in item 7.4* “Directors’ Dealings”) and 30,022 shares for the Se- nior Management Group. The fair value of the performance shares was € 21.34 per share on the grant date (1 June 2011). No dividends were con- sidered in the determination of the fair value of the repurchased shares since the Group does not intend to distribute any dividends in the foresee- able future. From the grant date until 31 December 2014, three beneficia- ries have left MorphoSys and, therefore, 5,216 performance shares were forfeited. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 3 3 In 2014, personnel expenses resulting from stock options under the Group’s 2011 LTI plan amounted to € 172,311 (2013: € 778,124). 7.3.2 2012 LONG -TE RM INCE NTIVE PRO GR AM On 1 April 2012, MorphoSys established a second long-term incentive plan (LTI plan) for the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. According to IFRS 2, this program is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for ac- cordingly. The LTI plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares of MorphoSys AG if predefined key perfor- mance criteria have been achieved. These criteria are approved annually by the Supervisory Board. The grant date was 1 April 2012 and the vesting period is four years. One fourth of the performance shares will become vested in each year of the four-year vesting period, provided that the performance criteria set for the respective period were met in full. The annual number of vested shares shall be reduced to the extent that the performance criteria of the relevant year have been fulfilled only between 50 % and 99 %, and increased to the extent that the performance criteria were met by more than 100 % (maxi- mum 200 %). If in one year the specified performance criteria are achieved by less than 50 %, no shares will become vested in that year. In any case, the maximum pay-out at the end of the four-year period is limited by a factor determined by the Group which generally amounts to “1”. However, in justified cases, the Supervisory Board may set this factor freely be- tween “0” and “2”, for example, if the level of payment seems unreasonable with regard to the general development of the Company. The right to re- ceive a certain allocation of shares under the LTI plan, however, only oc- curs at the end of the four-year vesting period. If the number of repurchased shares is not sufficient for servicing the LTI plan, MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a certain amount of the LTI plan in cash in the amount of the performance shares at the end of the vesting period, provided the cash amount does not exceed 200 % of the fair value of the performance shares on the grant date. If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office within MorphoSys Group prematurely before expiration of the four year perfor- mance period, the Management Board member (or his/her heirs) is enti- tled to performance shares determined on a precise daily pro rata basis. If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office within MorphoSys Group for good reason as defined by Sec. 626 Para. 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) prematurely before expiration of the four-year performance period, the beneficiary will not be entitled to an allocation of performance shares. If a change of control occurs during the course of the four-year vesting period, all performance shares are considered fully vested. In every above named case, the right to receive a certain allocation of shares under the LTI plan only occurs at the end of the four-year vesting period. In April 2012, MorphoSys repurchased 91,500 of its own shares on the stock exchange at an average price of € 20.08 per share for the 2012 LTI plan. The repurchased shares may be used for all purposes named in the authorization of the Annual General Meetings on 19 May 2011 as well as on 23 May 2014 and particularly for any existing or future employee par- ticipation schemes and/or to finance acquisitions. However, they may also be redeemed. These 91,500 shares were granted to the beneficiaries retro- actively on 1 April 2012. These included 57,967 shares for the Manage- ment Board (for further information please see the table titled “Perfor- mance Shares” in item 7.4* “Directors’ Dealings”) and 33,533 shares for the Senior Management Group. The fair value of the performance shares was € 19.24 per share on the grant date (1 April 2012). No dividends were considered in the determination of the fair value of the repurchased shares since the Group does not intend to distribute any dividends in the foresee- able future. From the grant date until 31 December 2014, two beneficiaries have left MorphoSys and thus 4,051 performance shares were forfeited. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 3 3 On 1 October 2012, MorphoSys established a further long-term incentive plan (LTI plan) for members of the Senior Management Group. The terms of the plan were identical to the program of 1 April 2012. A total of 2,292 shares were granted. The fair value was € 24.00 per share on the grant date. In 2014, personnel expenses resulting from stock options under the Group’s 2012 LTI plan amounted to € 293,904 (2013: € 974,997). F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 132 Notes 7.3.3 2013 LONG -TE RM INCE NTIVE PRO GR AM On 1 April 2013, MorphoSys established a further long-term incentive plan (LTI plan) for the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. According to IFRS 2, this program is considered a share-based pay- ment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for accordingly. The LTI plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares of MorphoSys AG if predefined key perfor- mance criteria have been achieved. These criteria are evaluated annually by the Supervisory Board. The grant date was 1 April 2013 and the vest- ing/performance period is four years. If the predefined key performance criteria for the respective period are met by 100 %, 25 % of the performance shares become vested in each year of the four-year vesting period. The number of shares vested each year will be reduced or increased to the ex- tent that the performance criteria of the respective year have only been achieved between 50 % and 99.9 % (<100 %) or that the achievement of the performance criteria has exceeded 100 % (maximum 200 %). If in one year the performance criteria are achieved by less than 50 %, “0” shares will become vested in that year. In any case, the maximum pay-out at the end of the four-year period is limited by a factor determined by the Group which generally amounts to “1”. However, in justified cases, the Supervi- sory Board may set this factor freely between “0” and “2”, for example, if the level of payment is regarded as unreasonable in view of the general development of the Company. The right to receive a certain allocation of shares under the LTI plan, however, only occurs at the end of the four-year vesting period. If the number of repurchased shares is not sufficient for servicing the LTI plan, MorphoSys reserves the right to pay a certain amount of the LTI plan in cash in the amount of the performance shares at the end of the vesting period, provided the cash amount does not exceed 200 % of the fair value of the performance shares on the grant date. If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office within MorphoSys Group prematurely before expiration of the four year perfor- mance period, the Management Board member (or his/her heirs) is enti- tled to performance shares determined on a precise daily pro rata basis. If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office within MorphoSys Group for good reason as defined by Sec. 626 Para. 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) prematurely before expiration of the four-year performance period, the beneficiary will not be entitled to an allocation of performance shares. If a change of control occurs during the course of the four-year vesting period, all performance shares are considered fully vested. In every above named case, the right to receive a certain allocation of shares under the LTI plan only occurs at the end of the four-year vesting period. In April and May 2013, MorphoSys repurchased 84,475 of its own shares on the stock exchange at an average price of € 33.43 per share. The repur- chased shares may be used for all purposes named in the authorization of the Annual General Meetings on 19 May 2011 as well as on 23 May 2014 and particularly for any existing or future employee participation schemes and/or to finance acquisitions. However, they may also be redeemed. Of these shares, 61,600 were granted to the beneficiaries retroactively effec- tive 1 April 2013. This included 36,729 shares for the Management Board (for further information, please see the table titled “Performance Shares” in item 7.4* “Directors’ Dealings”) and 24,871 shares for the Senior Man- agement Group. On the grant date (1 April 2013), the fair value of the per- formance shares was € 31.88 per share. No dividends were considered in the determination of the fair value of the repurchased shares since the Group does not intend to distribute any dividends in the foreseeable fu- ture. From the grant date until 31 December 2014, no beneficiary has left MorphoSys and no performance shares have been forfeited. For the calcu- lation of the personnel expenses resulting from share-based payments under the 2013 LTI plan, it was assumed that one beneficiary will leave the Company during the four-year period. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 3 3 On 1 October 2013, MorphoSys established a further long-term incentive plan (LTI plan) for members of the Senior Management Group.

In 2014, personnel expenses resulting from stock options under the Group’s 2013 LTI plan amounted to € 594,309 (2013: € 917,319). 7.3.4 2014 LONG -TE RM INCE NTIVE PRO GR AM On 1 April 2014, MorphoSys established a fourth long-term incentive plan (LTI plan) for the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. According to IFRS 2, this program is considered a share-based payment program with settlement in equity instruments and is accounted for ac- cordingly. The LTI plan is a performance-related share plan and will be paid out in ordinary shares of MorphoSys AG if predefined key perfor- mance criteria have been achieved. These criteria are evaluated annually by the Supervisory Board. The grant date was 1 April 2014 and the vest- ing/performance period is four years.

In any case, the maximum pay-out at the end of the four-year period is limited by a factor determined by the Group which gen- erally amounts to “1”. However, in justified cases, the Supervisory Board may set this factor freely between “0” and “2”, for example, if the level of payment is regarded as unreasonable in view of the general development of the Company. The right to receive a certain allocation of shares under the LTI plan, however, only occurs at the end of the four-year vesting period.

If a member of the Management Board ceases to hold an office within MorphoSys Group for good reason as defined by Sec. 626 Para. 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and/or as defined by Sec. 84 Para. 3 of the Ger- man Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the beneficiary will not be entitled to an allocation of performance shares. If a change of control occurs during the course of the four-year vesting period, all performance shares will become fully vested. In this case, the right to receive a certain allocation of shares under the LTI plan only oc- curs at the end of the four-year vesting period. In March 2014, MorphoSys repurchased 111,000 of its own shares on the stock exchange at an average price of € 70.53 per share. The repurchased shares may be used for all purposes named in the authorization of the Annual General Meetings on 19 May 2011 as well as on 23 May 2014 and particularly for any existing or future employee participation schemes and/or to finance acquisitions. However, they may also be redeemed. A total of 32,513 of these shares were granted to beneficiaries on 1 April 2014: 18,264 were granted to the Management Board (further details may be found in the table titled “Performance Shares” in item 7.4* “Directors’ Dealings”) and 14,249 shares were granted to the Senior Management Group. The fair value of the performance shares as of the grant date (1 April 2014) was €  67.30 per share. This was equivalent to the share price on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Xetra) on the trading day preced- ing the grant date. No dividends were considered in the determination of the fair value of the repurchased shares since the Group does not intend to distribute any dividends in the foreseeable future. From the grant date until 31 December 2014, no beneficiary has left MorphoSys and no perfor- mance shares have been forfeited. For the calculation of the personnel expenses resulting from share-based payments under the 2014 LTI plan, it was assumed that one beneficiary will leave the Company during the four-year period. *C R O S S - R E F E R E N C E t o pa g e 1 3 3 In 2014, personnel expenses resulting from stock options under the Group’s 2014 LTI plan amounted to € 1,016,776. 7.4 REL AT ED P AR T IE S Related parties that can be influenced by the Group or that can have a significant influence on the Group, can be divided into subsidiaries, mem- bers of management in key positions, and other related entities.

The remuneration of the Management Board consists of fixed and variable components as well as other remuneration components. Following the ex- piration of the relevant contract term, the service contracts of the Manage- ment Board members stipulate a non-competition clause for a period of six months. During this period, the Management Board member is entitled to compensation payments amounting to 100 % of the pro rata fixed compen- sation. In 2014, the total remuneration of the Supervisory Board, excluding reim- bursement for travel costs, amounted to € 514,480 (2013: € 458,280). While the remuneration of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board as members in key management positions is presented in accor- dance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code in the man- agement report, the following tables show the expense-based view in ac- cordance with IAS 24.

Current obligations may represent a contingent liability if there is not sufficient probability for an outflow of resources to justify the recognition of a provision. Moreover, it is not possible to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of the obligations. The Management Board is unaware of any proceedings that may result in a significant obligation for the Group and may lead to a material adverse effect on the Group’s net assets, financial position, and results of operations. If certain milestones are achieved in the Proprietary Development seg- ment, such as the application for an investigational new drug (IND) with regard to specific target molecules, this may trigger milestone payments to licensors. However, no further details can be published since the timing and the achievement of such milestones are uncertain. If a partner achieves certain milestones in the Partnered Discovery seg- ment, such as the application for an investigational new drug (IND) with regard to specific target molecules, or the transfer of a technology, this may trigger milestone payments to MorphoSys. However, no further de- tails can be published since the timing and the achievement of such mile- stones are uncertain. 8.3 CORP ORAT E G OVERNANCE The Group has submitted the Declaration of Conformity with the recom- mendations of the Government Commission on the German Corporate Governance Code for financial year 2014 pursuant to Sec. 161 of the Ger- man Stock Corporation Act (AktG). This declaration was published on 5 December 2014 on the Group’s website (www.morphosys.com) and made permanently available to the public. 8.4 RE SEARCH AND DEVEL OPMEN T AGREEMEN T S The Group has entered numerous research and development agreements as part of its proprietary research and development activities and its part- nered research strategy. 8.4.1 PROPRIE TARY DE VE LOPME NT SEGME NT In the Proprietary Development segment, partnerships are directed to- wards the objectives of the Group’s proprietary drug development pro- grams in its core areas of oncology and inflammatory diseases. These partnerships include (in alphabetical order): Celgene, Emergent Biosolu- tions, Galapagos, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck Serono, Temple University, and Xencor. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 138 Notes In June 2013, MorphoSys and Celgene Corporation announced a global agreement on the joint development of the MOR202 cancer program and its co-promotion in Europe. MOR202 is a fully human monoclonal antibody aimed at the CD38 target molecule for the treatment of multiple myeloma and other blood cancers. In 2013, the compound was in a phase 1/2a clin- ical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. MorphoSys and Celgene are co-promoting the further development of MOR202 for the treatment of multiple myeloma and other indications and share the development costs in a ratio of 1/3 to 2/3. This agreement pro- vided for an upfront payment to MorphoSys in the amount of € 70.8 mil- lion, and Celgene acquired additional shares in MorphoSys amounting to € 46.2 million. As part of this cooperation, MorphoSys may receive addi- tional development-related and regulatory and revenue-related milestones as well as tiered, double-digit royalties on net sales outside of the co-pro- motion activities carried out in select European markets. MorphoSys will receive 50 % of the revenues from the co-promotion activities carried out in select European markets. In August 2014, MorphoSys and Emergent BioSolutions Inc. announced an agreement to jointly develop and commercialize the compound MOR209/ ES414. This compound is a bi-specific anti-PSMA/anti-CD3 antibody tar- geting prostate cancer, which was developed by Emergent based on its proprietary ADAPTIR™ platform (modular protein technology). Under this agreement, MorphoSys received the promotion rights worldwide, with the exception of the USA and Canada where Emergent will retain promo- tion rights. Emergent received an upfront payment of US$ 20 million and is eligible to receive potential milestone payments of up to US$ 163 mil- lion. The milestone payments are linked to specific events, including the development of MOR209/ES414 in several indications as well as the ap- proval in various markets. MorphoSys and Emergent will co-develop MOR209/ES414, with MorphoSys assuming 64 % of the development costs and Emergent assuming 36 % of the costs. Emergent will manufacture and supply clinical material from its manufacturing facilities in Baltimore, Maryland/USA. Emergent will receive low single-digit royalties on prod- uct sales in MorphoSys’s sales regions and MorphoSys will receive tiered royalties ranging from the mid single-digits up to 20 % on product sales in Emergent’s sales regions. In November 2008, MorphoSys and Galapagos announced the beginning of a long-term joint drug discovery and development cooperation. The goal of the cooperation is to explore novel mechanisms for the treatment of in- flammatory diseases and to develop antibody therapies against these dis- eases. The agreement covers all activities ranging from the probing of target molecules to the completion of clinical trials for novel therapeutic antibodies. Subsequent to the demonstration of clinical efficacy in hu- mans, the programs will be out-licensed to partners for further develop- ment, approval, and commercialization. Both companies provided their core technologies and expertise within the scope of the alliance. Along with the use of its adenovirus-based platform for the exploration of new target molecules for the development of antibodies, Galapagos provided access to already identified target molecules that are associated with bone and joint diseases. MorphoSys provided access to its antibody technolo- gies used for generating fully human antibodies directed against these target molecules. Under the terms of agreements, both Galapagos and MorphoSys bear the costs of research and development. In July 2014, the collaboration advanced into the preclinical development of MOR106, an antibody from MorphoSys’ next-generation antibody library Ylanthia di- rected against a novel Galapagos target molecule. The antibody will be co-developed in the area of inflammatory diseases. In June 2013, MorphoSys announced that it had entered into a global agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to develop and commercialize MOR103. MOR103 is a proprietary HuCAL antibody from MorphoSys against the GM-CSF target molecule. Under the terms of the agreement, GSK assumes responsibility for the entire development and commercial- ization of MOR103. Under the agreement, MorphoSys received an immedi- ate upfront payment of € 22.5 million. Depending on the achievement of certain developmental stages, as well as regulatory, commercial, and rev- enue-related milestones, MorphoSys is eligible to receive additional pay- ments from GSK in the amount of up to € 423 million, as well as tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. In June 2014, MorphoSys and Merck KGaA announced an agreement to identify and develop therapeutic antibodies against target molecules of the class of immune checkpoints. Under the agreement, both MorphoSys and Merck Serono, the biopharmaceutical division of Merck, aim to co-de- velop forms of therapies that are intended to prompt the immune system to attack tumors. MorphoSys will use its proprietary Ylanthia antibody library and other technology platforms to generate antibodies directed against the selected target molecules. Merck Serono is contributing its broad portfolio and expertise in the field of immuno-oncology and clinical development and will assume full project responsibility starting with phase 1 of clinical development. In April 2014, MorphoSys agreed to a strategic partnership focused on the discovery of new therapeutic antibodies with the Moulder Center for Drug Discovery Research, a division of the School of Pharmacy at Temple Uni- versity, USA. As part of the cooperation, the Moulder Center receives access to the Ylanthia technology from MorphoSys to validate new dis- ease-related target molecules and to generate therapeutic antibodies directed against these molecules. MorphoSys receives an exclusive option to further develop each antibody resulting from the co-operation. The Moulder Center’s department for new biotherapeutic drug discovery is in- volved with the design of compounds and the optimization of lead candi- dates in various disease areas including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, car- diovascular, metabolic and viral diseases. In June 2010, MorphoSys AG and the US-based biopharmaceutical com- pany, Xencor, signed an exclusive global licensing and cooperation agree- ment. Under this agreement, MorphoSys receives exclusive global licens- ing rights to the XmAb5574/MOR208 antibody for the treatment of cancer and other indications. The companies will jointly conduct a phase 1/2a trial in the US in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. MorphoSys will be solely responsible for the further clinical development after the successful completion of the phase 1 clinical trial. Xencor received an up- front payment of US$ 13 million (about € 10.5 million) from MorphoSys, which was capitalized under in-licensed research programs. Xencor is entitled to development, regulatory, and commercially-related milestone payments as well as tiered royalties on product sales. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 139 Notes In November 2012, as the first activity under the Innovation Capital Initia- tive, MorphoSys announced a partnership with the privately-held biophar- maceutical company, Lanthio Pharma. The Dutch company specializes in the research and development of lanthipeptides. Lanthipeptides are an innovative class of therapeutic substances demonstrating high target mol- ecule selectivity and improved compound properties. The LanthioPep technology of Lanthio Pharma is used to identify peptides that address the disease’s specific point of attack and stabilize the peptides in the optimal conformation for binding them to this receptor. As part of their collabora- tion, MorphoSys and Lanthio Pharma jointly used their technologies to create high quality and diverse lanthipeptide libraries. In 2014, MorphoSys exercised its preferential rights to the exclusive in-licensing of the Lan- thioPep technology for compound discovery. 8.4.2 PAR TNE RE D DISC OVE RY SEGME NT In its commercial partnerships in the Partnered Discovery segment, MorphoSys receives various types of payment which are spread over the term of the agreements or recognized in full as revenue when reaching a predefined target or milestone. These payments include upfront payments upon signature, annual license fees in exchange for access to MorphoSys’s technologies, and payments for funded research to be performed by MorphoSys on behalf of the partner. In addition, MorphoSys is entitled to development-related milestone payments and royalties on product sales for specific antibody compound programs. Prior to financial year 2014, active collaborations with a number of part- ners had already ended because the original term of the agreements had expired. However, drug development programs initiated in this active phase are designed so that they may continue at the partner’s operations and thus result in performance-based payments for the achievement of the milestones defined. For more detailed information on individual drug can- didates within the various alliances and limited to the information avail- able to the public, please refer to the section of this annual report entitled the “Research and Development” and to the overview of the Group’s drug pipeline. More detailed information on the Group’s individual research al- liances is available on the Group’s website. Partnerships in the Partnered Discovery segment which were dissolved before the beginning of 2014, but under which drug development pro- grams were still being pursued, include ( in alphabetical order): Astellas, Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelheim, Daiichi-San- kyo, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, GPC Biotech, Immunogen, Janssen Biotech, Merck & Co., OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, Fibron Ltd. (transfer of the Prochon Biotech Ltd. agreement), and Schering-Plough (a subsidiary of Merck & Co.). Partnerships that were still active in 2014 include (in alphabetical order): ContraFect, GeneFrontier Corporation/Kaneka, Heptares, and Novartis. Of these partnerships, the collaboration with ContraFect was terminated in 2014. Since October 2013, MorphoSys has been involved in arbitration proceed- ings with ContraFect Corp. in relation to the contract concluded between the two companies in 2011. The proceedings, initiated by MorphoSys, have since led to an agreement and the termination of the license agreement as per 15 August 2014. As part of the agreement, under which both parties’ outstanding receivables and claims have been settled, ContraFect made a payment to MorphoSys in the amount of € 1 million. This payment was made in the third quarter of 2014. In February 2013, MorphoSys concluded an alliance with British Heptares Therapeutics Ltd. This cooperation should pave the way for novel thera- peutic antibodies against membrane-constant G protein coupled-receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are crucial for a variety of biological processes and dis- eases. The agreement involves both of the Group’s segments. Under the terms of the agreement, Heptares will develop stabilized receptors (StaRs) as antigens for a set of GPCR target molecules proposed by MorphoSys. MorphoSys will subsequently apply its Ylanthia antibody library to de- velop therapeutic antibody compounds against these target molecules. Two such projects are currently in the early development phase. MorphoSys has the right to sublicense third parties the access to these target mole- cules in conjunction with therapeutic antibody programs. Heptares will receive upfront and research funding payments and will participate in MorphoSys’s future revenues from related license agreements. Addition- ally, Heptares has the option to develop a therapeutic antibody against a proprietary GPCR target molecule based on MorphoSys’s Ylanthia library. In this context, MorphoSys may receive license fees, milestone payments, and royalties. Currently, the Group’s most extensive alliance is with Novartis AG. Both parties started working together in 2004, which has led to the creation of several ongoing therapeutic antibody programs against a number of dis- eases. In December 2007, MorphoSys and Novartis significantly expanded their previous relationship and forged one of the most comprehensive stra- tegic alliances in the discovery and development of biopharmaceuticals. The contractually guaranteed annual payments for technology access, in- ternalization charges and R&D services amount to more than € 400 mil- lion over the contractual term of ten years. The total amount of guaranteed payments and probability-weighted performance-based milestones, con- tingent upon the successful clinical development and regulatory approval of several products, could exceed the threshold of € 650 million at the full contractual term of the successful collaboration. In addition to these pay- ments, MorphoSys is also entitled to royalties and/or profit sharing on any future product sales. In November 2012, MorphoSys and Novartis entered into a cooperation agreement on the use of the new Ylanthia technology platform. This exten- sion of the existing strategic cooperation represents the start of the com- mercialization of Ylanthia and should produce improved antibody candi- dates that can be developed faster than previously possible. F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S 140 Notes 8.5 SUBSEQUEN T EVEN T S Subsequent to the end of financial year 2014, there have not been any significant changes in the industry environment. Other events having a material impact on the net assets, financial position, and results of opera- tions have also not occurred since the end of the financial year. 8.6 RE SP ONSIBIL I T Y S TAT EMEN T We confirm to the best of our knowledge and in accordance with the appli- cable reporting principles, that the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and results of operations of the Group, and that the Group Management Report in- cludes a fair review of the development of the business including the re- sults and the position of the Group, together with a description of the prin- cipal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the Group.

We believe that our audit provides a reason- able basis for our opinion. Our audit has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit the consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Article 315a Section 1 German Commercial Code and supplemen- tary provisions of the articles of incorporation and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of opera- tions of the Group in accordance with these requirements. The group management report is consistent with the consolidated fi- nancial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group's position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development. Munich, 18 February 2015 PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Dietmar Eglauer Wirtschaftsprüfer (German Public Auditor) Bodo Kleinschrod Wirtschaftsprüfer (German Public Auditor) Auditor’s Report We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by MorphoSys AG, Martinsried, comprising the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, con- solidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of changes in stock- holders’ equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes, together with the group management report for the business year from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management re- port in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to Article 315a Section 1 German Commercial Code and supplementary provisions of the articles of incorporation are the responsibility of the Parent Company's Board of Managing Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Article 317 German Commercial Code and Ger- man generally accepted standards for the audit of financial state- ments promulgated by the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consoli- dated financial statements in accordance with the applicable finan- cial reporting framework and in the group management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into ac- count in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial state- ments and the group management report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit in- cludes assessing the annual financial statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of the entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation prin- ciples used and significant estimates made by the Company’s A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N 142 Report of the Supervisory Board Report of the Supervisory Board COOPERAT ION OF T HE MANAGEMEN T BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD During the 2014 financial year, the Supervisory Board performed thoroughly the duties assigned to it by law, the Articles of Associa- tion, and its own Rules of Procedure. With a few exceptions, the Supervisory Board also took into account the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code (hereinafter referred to as the “Code”). We regularly advised and continually observed the Management Board in its management of the Company and dealt extensively with the operational and strategic development of the Group. The Management Board fulfilled its duty to inform and furnish us with periodic written and verbal reports containing timely and detailed information on all business transactions and events of significant relevance to the Company. The Management Board prepared these reports in collaboration with the respective departments. In our committee meetings and plenary sessions, we had the opportunity to fully discuss the reports and the proposed resolutions of the Management Board. The Management Board answered our questions on strategic topics affecting the Company with a great level of detail. In this context, the Management Board submitted the relevant documents in a timely manner. Any devia- tions from the business plan were thoroughly explained to us. Thus, we were directly involved at an early stage in all decisions of relevance to the Company. A corresponding resolution was passed if the approval of the Supervisory Board for individual actions was required by law, the Articles of Association, or by the Rules of Procedure. The Super- visory Board members routinely prepared resolutions for actions of the Management Board requiring Supervisory Board approval based on documentation provided in advance by the Management Board. If appropriate, the Supervisory Board was supported by the relevant committees and, together with the Management Board, discussed any proposition up for decision. All matters requiring approval were submitted for review to the Supervisory Board on a timely basis. In the time intervals between meetings of the Supervisory Board plenum and the committees, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board regularly exchanged information and ideas with the Man- agement Board, and in particular with its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Simon Moroney. The Supervisory Board Chairman was also kept informed of the current business situation and of any signifi- cant business transactions. In consultation with the Management Board, discussions also took place between the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and members of the Senior Management Group. Furthermore, the other Supervisory Board members also had regular contact with the Management Board. PRIMARY T OPIC S OF T HE SUPERVISORY BOARD MEE T INGS IN T HE 2014 F INANC IAL YEAR A total of eight Supervisory Board meetings were held in the 2014 financial year, three of which were conducted by telephone. With the exception of two meetings, all Supervisory Board members were present at all meetings. In urgent cases occurring outside of the meetings, the Supervisory Board passed resolutions by writ- ten procedure. In addition to the above, in September 2014 a meeting of one and a half days took place between the Management Board and the Supervisory Board that was primarily concerned with the follow- ing topics: • the Company’s strategic focus; • the further development of the Company’s product portfolio and its impact on the net asset and results of operations. During the 2014 financial year, the Supervisory Board was partic- ularly focused on the following topics and after a detailed examina- tion and discussion passed resolutions on these topics: • evaluation of the Company’s achievement of the objectives for the 2013 financial year and determination of the Company’s ob- jectives for the 2015 financial year; • the agenda and recommended resolutions for the 2014 Annual General Meeting; • conclusion of the therapeutic antibody partnership with Temple University; • conclusion of the strategic alliance with Merck Serono in immuno-oncology; • merger of the non-operating subsidiary MorphoSys IP GmbH with MorphoSys AG; • conclusion of the license agreement with Emergent BioSolutions Inc. for the co-development and co-promotion of the drug candi- date ES414/MOR209 against prostate cancer; • exercise of the option to purchase the lanthipeptide technology from Lanthio Pharma B.V. as part of the cooperation already existing between the two companies; • the budget for the 2015 financial year. A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N 143 Report of the Supervisory Board Additionally, we passed a resolution in the Supervisory Board plenum on the remuneration of Management Board members for the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015 based on external benchmarking. We also evaluated the achievement of the agreed- upon, individual bonus targets of the members of the Management Board for 2013 and set their respective individual bonus targets for 2015. We had the appropriateness of the Management Board’s compensation confirmed by an independent remuneration consul- tant. We also discussed and adopted the key performance indica- tors for the long-term incentive plans for both the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. Furthermore, we approved the financial statements for the 2013 financial year and the Management Board’s proposal for the appro- priation of profits. We also dealt with the Corporate Governance Report as well as the Statement on Corporate Governance. The focus of our regular discussions in the Supervisory Board’s plenary meetings were the revenue and profit development of MorphoSys, the financial reports, the progress of the two business segments Partnered Discovery and Proprietary Development, the results and progress of the clinical programs for the development of proprietary drugs, and the future development strategy as well as the development of new technologies. In addition, we discussed the results of the efficiency review carried out in 2014 in terms of the Supervisory Board’s work and evaluated possibilities for im- provement. Finally, we have kept ourselves regularly informed of the subjects of risk management, the internal control system, and of the results of the internal audit. CONFL IC T S OF IN T ERES T IN T HE SUPERVISORY BOARD In the 2014 financial year, no conflicts of interest within the Super- visory Board occurred. AC T IVI T IES AND MEE T INGS OF SUPERVISORY BOARD COMMI T T EES In order to perform its duties efficiently, the Supervisory Board has established three committees that prepare subjects falling within their respective areas of competence for the Supervisory Board plenum: the Audit Committee, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, and the Science and Technology Committee. In each Supervisory Board meeting, the committee chairs report to the Supervisory Board on the work of the committees and the minutes of the committee meetings are made available to all Supervisory Board members. The composition of these committees may be found in the “Statement on Corporate Governance,” which is avail- able on the Company’s website under the heading “Media & Inves- tors > Corporate Governance > Statement on Corporate Gover- nance,” and in the Annual Report on pages 70 to 74. All committee meetings were fully attended. The Audit Committee met on six occasions in the 2014 finan- cial year (including twice by telephone). This Committee dealt mainly with accounting issues, the quarterly reports, and the financial statements and consolidated financial statements. The Committee discussed these topics with the Management Board and recommended their approval to the Supervisory Board. The auditor attended three Audit Committee meetings and informed its members of the audit results. The Audit Committee also made a recommendation to the Supervisory Board for its proposal at the Annual General Meeting for the election of the independent audi- tor. Furthermore, the Committee deliberated on the risk manage- ment system and the results of the internal audit carried out in the 2014 financial year. In addition, the Committee regularly advised on the Company’s cash investment policy and the investment recommendations of the Management Board. The Committee also received a report on the potential savings identified and realized in the Procurement and Logistics department. Additionally, the Committee was informed of the introduction of new software and improvements in IT security. For efficiency reasons, there is a common Remuneration and Nomination Committee, which meets in its respective function. This Committee met on six occasions in the 2014 financial year (including once by telephone) and, in its function as Remuneration Committee, mainly dealt with the Management Board’s remunera- tion system and the level of the Management Board’s compen- sation. In this context, the Committee also commissioned an independent remuneration expert with the task of preparing a Management Board remuneration report to verify the appropriate- ness of the Management Board’s remuneration. Based on this re- port, the Committee prepared a recommendation as to the future structure of the Management Board’s compensation and submitted this to the Supervisory Board for approval. The Committee also dealt with the ratio of compensation between the Management Board and the Senior Management Group as well as the staff over- all and had this ratio reviewed by the commissioned remuneration expert. This expert confirmed the appropriateness of the “vertical” compensation ratios. The Committee also dealt with the individual bonus targets of the Management Board members and the Com- pany’s targets and offered suitable recommendations to the Super- visory Board for approval. In addition, the Committee discussed the key performance indicators of the long-term incentive plans for the Management Board and the Senior Management Group. In its function as Nomination Committee, the Committee also dealt with the preparations for the required election of all Supervisory Board members in the context of the 2015 Annual General Meet- ing. In coordination with the Supervisory Board, the Committee prepared the required profiles for the Supervisory Board candi- dates up for election, conducted the corresponding interviews with the Supervisory Board candidates, and submitted its recommen- A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N 144 Report of the Supervisory Board dation to the Supervisory Board for its proposals to the Annual General Meeting for the election of Supervisory Board members. In this context, the Committee commissioned a consulting firm for professional support in the Committee’s search for suitable new Supervisory Board candidates. The Science and Technology Committee met on six occasions during the 2014 financial year (including once by telephone). This Committee mainly addressed the further progress and expansion of the Company’s portfolio, the development of new technologies, and the Company’s drug development plans including the re- quired budget resources. The start of new development programs, the results of ongoing clinical studies for the development of proprietary drug candidates, development plans of current and planned clinical studies, as well as the development strategy were the focus of the discussions. The Committee also addressed the production of clinical trial materials for the Company’s proprietary drug candidates, the competitive and patent situations of the Com- pany’s proprietary product candidates, and discussed the Manage- ment Board’s recommendations on strengthening the portfolio. CORP ORAT E GOVERNANCE The Supervisory Board dealt with the further development of cor- porate governance at MorphoSys while taking into account the amendments made in the Code in June 2014 by the Government Commission German Corporate Governance Code. The detailed Corporate Government Report, including the Corporate Gover- nance Statement according to Sec. 289a HGB (German Commercial Code), may be found on the Company’s website under the heading “Media & Investors > Corporate Governance > Corporate Gover- nance Report” and can also be found in the Annual Report on pages 70 – 90. In addition, we discussed the compliance with the Code’s recom- mendations by the Company with the Management Board and, in justified cases, approved a few exceptions to the Code’s recom- mendations. Based on this consultation, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board submitted the annual Declaration of Conformity on 5 December 2014. The current version of the annual Declaration of Conformity can be found in this Annual Report and is permanently available to MorphoSys’s shareholders on the Company’s website under the heading “Media & Investors > Corpo- rate Governance > Declaration of Conformity.” CHANGES IN T HE COMP OSI T ION OF T HE MANAGEMEN T BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD There were no changes in the composition of the Management Board or in the Supervisory Board in the reporting period. AUDI T OF T HE F INANC IAL S TAT EMEN T S In 2014, the Company commissioned PricewaterhouseCoopers AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich (hereinafter “PwC”) as its auditor. The audit contract was awarded by the Supervisory Board in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2014. In accordance with Item 7.2.1 of the Code, the Supervisory Board obtained a declaration of indepen- dence from the auditor in advance. The financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of MorphoSys AG, as well as the Management Report and Group Management Report for the 2014 financial year, were properly audited by PwC and issued with an unqualified Auditor’s Report. The key audit topics for the consolidated and separate financial statements for the 2014 financial year were in particular the pre- sentation and valuation of cash investments, the evaluation of the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets with indefi- nite useful lives, the completeness, accuracy and valuation of accruals for outstanding invoices, the calculation of current and deferred taxes, the revenue recognition, and the completeness and accuracy of the Notes. In addition, the auditor confirmed that the Management Board has established an appropriate reporting and monitoring system that is suitable in its design and administration for the early detection of developments that could threaten the Company’s existence. The audit reports and documents relating to the financial state- ments and consolidated financial statements were provided on a timely basis to all Supervisory Board members for review. The audit report, the consolidated financial statements, and the MorphoSys Group’s Management Report were discussed in detail at the Audit Committee meeting on 25 February 2015 and at the Supervisory Board meeting on the same day. The audit report, the financial statements, and the Management Report of MorphoSys AG were discussed in detail at the Audit Committee meeting on 18 March 2015 and at the subsequent meeting of the Supervisory Board on the same day. The auditor attended all meetings con- cerning the financial statements and reported on the key results of his audit. He also explained the scope and focus of the audit and was available to both the Audit Committee and the Supervisory Board to answer questions and provide further information. A D D I T I O N A L I N F O R M A T I O N 145 Report of the Supervisory Board The Audit Committee discussed the audit results in detail and rec- ommended to the Supervisory Board that it approve the financial statements prepared by the Management Board. The Supervisory Board also took note of the audit results and, in turn, reviewed the financial statements and management reports in accordance with the statutory provisions. Following its own examination, the Super- visory Board also determined that it sees no cause for objection. The financial statements and consolidated financial statements prepared by the Management Board and reviewed by the auditor, as well as the Management Report and Group Management Report, were subsequently approved by the Supervisory Board. Thus, the financial statements were adopted. In addition, the Supervisory Board reviewed the Management Board’s proposal for the appro- priation of profits and agreed to this proposal.
