DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This post-effective amendment filed by MorphoSys AG (the “Company”) deregisters all securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement on Form F-3ASR (No. 333-275586) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2023.

On June 20, 2024, Novartis AG and its subsidiaries Novartis BidCo AG and Novartis BidCo Germany AG (collectively, “Novartis”) informed the Company of its intention to merge the Company into Novartis (the “Merger Squeeze-Out”). As of August 15, 2024, Novartis held 94.55% of the outstanding bearer shares of the Company.

On August 5, 2024, the Company completed the voluntary delisting of its American Depositary Shares from the Nasdaq Global Market.

On August 27, 2024, shareholders of the Company approved the Merger Squeeze-Out. The Merger Squeeze-Out will be effective once the transfer resolution and merger have been registered in the commercial register of the Company and the merger has also been registered in the commercial register of Novartis.

In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any and all securities that had been registered for issuance but that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, this post-effective amendment removes from registration any and all securities that were registered under the Registration Statement and remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
