assumptions with our view of underlying market demand, which we do not believe is sufficient

to support both contract renewal and the Sisslerfeld underwriting.

Cagrisema newsflow remains a burden: We continue to view the CagriSema opportunity

as becoming increasingly constrained, both in the near and medium term. From a medium- .

AMAZE study with accelerated dose escalation, and the stronger-than-expected performance

of Oral Wegovy suggest a reduced strategic emphasis on Cagrisema. Collectively, these

developments imply that CagriSema is likely to occupy a lower-priority role within NOVO's

portfolio, with consequently lower volume potential. Outside the US, the dual-chamber syringe

presentation also appears potentially less commercially compelling, which could further limit

adoption and weigh on peak sales expectations.
