+Added: Sales of our products will depend, in part, on the extent to which our products will be covered by third-party payers, such as government health programs, commercial insurance, and managed healthcare organizations.
+Added: In the U.S., for example, principal decisions about government reimbursement for new products are typically made by CMS, the agency that administers the Medicare program through regional contractors, state Medicaid programs, third-party payers, and insurance plans for certain patient populations.
+Added: These entities decide whether and to what extent a new product will be covered and reimbursed based on clinical needs and economic impact.
+Added: To date, no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement for drug products exists.
+Added: Accordingly, decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided for any of our products will be made on a payer-by-payer basis.
+Added: Increasingly, third-party payers are requiring that drug companies provide them with discounts usually in the form of rebates from list prices and are challenging the prices charged for medical products.

+Added: Those rebates are based on pricing data reported by the manufacturer on a monthly and quarterly basis to CMS.
+Added: These data include the average manufacturer price and, in the case of innovator products, the best price for each drug, which, in general, represents the lowest price available from the manufacturer to any wholesaler, retailer, provider, health maintenance organization, nonprofit entity, or governmental entity in the U.S.
+Added: in any pricing structure, calculated to include all sales and associated rebates, discounts, and other price concessions.
+Added: Under the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap Discount Program, manufacturers, including us, are currently required to provide to CMS a 70% discount on brand name prescription drugs utilized by Medicare Part D beneficiaries when those beneficiaries are in the coverage gap phase of the Medicare Part D benefit design.

+Added: The 340B drug pricing program requires participating manufacturers to agree to charge statutorily defined covered entities no more than the 340B ceiling price for the manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs.
+Added: These 340B covered entities include a variety of community health clinics and other entities that receive health services grants from the Public Health Service, as well as hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients.
+Added: The 340B ceiling price is calculated using a statutory formula, which is based on the average manufacturer price and rebate amount for the covered outpatient drug as calculated under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program.
+Added: Further, the Inflation Reduction Act, or IRA, of 2022 established a Medicare Part D inflation rebate schemes and a drug price negotiation program, with the first negotiated prices to take effect in 2026.
+Added: It also makes several changes to the Medicare Part D benefit, including the creation of a new manufacturer discount program in place of the current coverage gap discount program that began in 2025.

+Added: In November 2025, CMS announced a voluntary initiative called the GENEROUS Model (GENErating cost Reductions fOr U.S.
+Added: Medicaid Model) to introduce the option of most-favored-nation pricing to the Medicaid program, whereby a drug manufacturer may voluntarily offer supplemental rebates to participating state Medicaid programs for a manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs.
+Added: Government agreements with pharmaceutical companies and other measures that use most-favored-nation pricing targets for prescription drugs or that increase generic and biosimilar drug entry sooner than expected can have a material adverse effect on our industry, ability to set adequate pricing for new drugs to recover R&D costs, ability to attract potential investors and potential buyers in the future, or the pricing of our approved product in the U.S.
+Added: and in foreign countries.
+Added: In addition, to be eligible to have its products paid for with federal funds under the Medicaid and Medicare Part B programs and purchased by certain federal agencies and grantees, a manufacturer also must participate in the U.S.

+Added: Department of Defense, or DoD, Public Health Service and U.S.
+Added: Coast Guard - that is no higher than the statutory Federal Ceiling Price, or FCP.
+Added: Manufacturers also are obligated to calculate and submit to the VA on a quarterly and annual basis, their Non-Federal Average Manufacturer Price, or Non-FAMP, which the VA uses to calculate the FCP.
+Added: Moreover, pursuant to regulations issued by the DoD Defense Health Agency to implement Section 703 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, manufacturers are required to provide rebates on utilization of their innovator and single source products that are dispensed to TRICARE beneficiaries by TRICARE network retail pharmacies.
+Added: The requirements under the Medicaid, 340B, FSS, and TRICARE programs could reduce the revenue we may generate from any products that are commercialized in the future and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
+Added: If we fail to comply with any applicable obligations under governmental pricing programs that we participate in, we could be subject to additional reimbursement requirements, significant civil monetary penalties, sanctions and fines, and those could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
+Added: In addition, in most foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed.
+Added: The requirements governing drug pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country.
+Added: For example, the European Union provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use.
+Added: A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product on the market.
+Added: Pharmaceutical products may face competition from lower-priced products in foreign countries that have placed price controls on pharmaceutical products and may also compete with imported foreign products.
+Added: There can be no assurance that any country that has price controls or reimbursement limitations for pharmaceutical products will allow favorable reimbursement and pricing.
+Added: Healthcare Reform
+Added: government, state legislatures, and foreign governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost containment programs to limit the growth of government-paid healthcare costs, including price-controls, restrictions on reimbursement, and requirements for substitution of generic products and/or lower cost over the counter alternatives for branded prescription drugs.
+Added: For example, the ACA substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both the government and private insurers, and significantly impacts the U.S.
+Added: pharmaceutical industry.
+Added: The ACA contains provisions that may reduce the profitability of drug products through increased rebates for drugs reimbursed by Medicaid programs, extension of Medicaid rebates to Medicaid managed care plans, mandatory discounts for certain Medicare Part D beneficiaries and annual fees based on pharmaceutical companies’ share of sales to federal health care programs.
+Added: The ACA made several changes to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, including increasing pharmaceutical manufacturers’ rebate liability by raising the minimum basic Medicaid rebate.
+Added: The ACA also expanded the universe of Medicaid utilization subject to drug rebates by requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers to pay rebates on Medicaid managed care utilization and by enlarging the population potentially eligible for Medicaid drug benefits.
+Added: There have been judicial challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, as well as efforts by Congress to modify, and by agencies to alter the implementation of, certain aspects of the ACA.
+Added: For example, Congress eliminated the tax penalty for not complying with the ACA’s individual mandate to carry health insurance.
+Added: Further, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, among other things, amended the ACA to increase from 50 percent to 70 percent the point-of-sale discount that is owed by pharmaceutical manufacturers who participate in Medicare Part D to close the coverage gap in most Medicare drug plans, commonly referred to as the "donut hole." In 2025, the IRA sunsets the coverage gap discount program and replaces it with a new manufacturer discount.
+Added: It is possible that the ACA, as currently enacted or may be amended in the future, as well as other healthcare reform measures including those that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria, and less favorable payment methodologies, or other downward pressure on coverage and payment and the price that we receive for any approved product.
+Added: Any reduction in reimbursement or restriction on coverage under Medicare or other government programs may result in a similar reduction or restriction by private payers.
+Added: Other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted in the U.S.
+Added: since the ACA was enacted.
+Added: These changes included aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of 2% per fiscal year required by the Budget Control Act of 2021, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, or ATRA.
+Added: Subsequent legislation extended the 2% reduction, generally to FY 2032.
+Added: ATRA, among other things, also reduced Medicare payments to several types of providers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years.
+Added: Other new laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our drugs, if approved, and accordingly, our financial operations.
+Added: Moreover, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, or MMA, established the Medicare Part D program to provide a voluntary prescription drug benefit to Medicare beneficiaries.
+Added: Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plans offered by private entities that provide coverage of outpatient prescription drugs.
+Added: Unlike Medicare Part A and B, Part D coverage is not standardized.
+Added: While all Medicare drug plans must give at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare, Part D prescription drug plan sponsors are not required to pay for all covered Part D drugs, and each drug plan can develop its own drug formulary that identifies which drugs it will cover and at what tier or level.
+Added: However, Part D prescription drug formularies must include drugs within each therapeutic category and class of covered Part D drugs, though not necessarily all the drugs in each category or class.
+Added: Any formulary used by a Part D prescription drug plan must be developed and reviewed by a pharmacy and therapeutic committee.
+Added: Government payment for some of the costs of prescription drugs may increase demand for products for which we receive marketing approval.
+Added: However, any negotiated prices for our products covered by a Part D prescription drug plan likely will be lower than the prices we might otherwise obtain.
+Added: Moreover, while the MMA applies only to drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries, private third-party payers often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own payment rates and in establishing their formulary placement.
+Added: Further, the IRA introduces several changes to the Medicare Part D benefit, including a limit on annual out-of-pocket costs and a change in manufacturer liability under the program which could negatively affect the profitability of our product candidates.
+Added: The IRA sunsets the current Part D coverage gap discount program starting in 2025 and replaces it with a new manufacturer discount program.
+Added: Failure to pay a discount under this new program will be subject to a civil monetary penalty.
+Added: In addition, the IRA established a Medicare Part B inflation rebate scheme effective January 2023 and a Medicare Part D inflation rebate scheme effective October 2022, under which, generally speaking, manufacturers will owe rebates if the price of a Part B or Part D drug increases faster than the pace of inflation.
+Added: Failure to timely pay a Part B or D inflation rebate is subject to a civil monetary penalty.
+Added: The IRA also creates a drug price negotiation program under which the prices for Medicare units of certain high Medicare spend drugs and biologicals without generic or biosimilar competition will be capped by reference to, among other things, a specified non-federal average manufacturer price starting in 2026.
+Added: Failure to comply with requirements under the drug price negotiation program is subject to an excise tax and/or a civil monetary penalty.
+Added: Congress continues to examine various policy proposals that may result in pressure on the prices of prescription drugs with respect to the government health benefit programs and otherwise.
+Added: The IRA or other legislative changes could impact the market conditions for our product candidates.
+Added: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, or the OBBB Act, includes provisions that impact the United States healthcare system in various ways, including cuts to Medicaid and introducing new participant eligibility requirements for Medicaid coverage, which are expected to significantly change the administration and applicability of Medicaid coverage.
+Added: Additionally, there has been heightened governmental scrutiny over the manner in which drug manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which has resulted in several Congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted federal and
+Added: state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drug products.
+Added: At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.
+Added: Finally, some states have established Prescription Drug Affordability Boards (or similar entities) to review high-cost drugs and, in some cases, set upper payment limits.
