ALK achieves general reimbursement for GRAZAX® in Spain

The Spanish authorities today announced that they have finalized the evaluation
of ALK's application for price and reimbursement of the company's tablet based
vaccine against grass pollen allergy with a positive outcome. GRAZAX® will now
be eligible for general, national reimbursement on level with other
pharmaceutical products in Spain. The decision, which comes earlier than
anticipated, enables a launch of GRAZAX® for adults in Spain in due time ahead
of the 2009 grass pollen season. 

This announcement does not change ALK's financial outlook for 2008.
