+Added: The ACA also imposes substantial costs
+Added: on pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as an increase in liability for rebates paid to Medicaid, new drug discounts that must be offered
+Added: to certain enrollees in the Medicare prescription drug benefit and an annual fee imposed on all manufacturers of brand prescription drugs
+Added: The ACA also requires increased disclosure obligations and an expansion of an existing program requiring pharmaceutical discounts

+Added: Any charge by HRSA that we have violated this regulation or other requirements of the program could negatively impact our financial results.
+Added: Moreover, HRSA has established an administrative dispute resolution (“ADR”) process, which is governed by a final regulation
+Added: effective June 2024, for claims by covered entities that a manufacturer engaged in overcharging, including claims that a manufacturer
+Added: limited the ability of a covered entity to purchase the manufacturer’s drugs at the 340B ceiling price, and by manufacturers that
+Added: a covered entity violated the prohibitions against diversion or duplicate discounts.
+Added: Such claims are to be resolved through an ADR panel
+Added: of government officials rendering a decision that could be appealed only in federal court.
+Added: An ADR proceeding could potentially subject
+Added: us to discovery by covered entities and other onerous procedural requirements and could result in additional liability.
+Added: HRSA could also

+Added: cause shown, in which case the manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs may no longer be eligible for federal payment under the
+Added: Medicaid or Medicare Part B program.
+Added: legislation may be introduced that, if passed, would, among other things, further expand the 340B program to include additional
+Added: covered entities or would require participating manufacturers to agree to provide 340B discounted pricing on drugs used in an
+Added: inpatient setting, and any additional future changes to the definition of average manufacturer price or the Medicaid rebate amount
+Added: could affect our 340B ceiling price calculations and negatively impact our results of operations.
+Added: Additionally, we have implemented
+Added: a policy governing the eligibility of covered entities to purchase our products at the 340B price for shipment to a contract
+Added: We implemented this policy out of concern that contract pharmacy arrangements are diverting the benefits of the 340B
+Added: program from patients to contract pharmacies and contributing to the pervasive lack of transparency within the 340B program,
+Added: rendering it difficult to identify inappropriate duplicate discounts and product diversion.
+Added: Certain pharmaceutical manufacturers and
+Added: the industry group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (“PhRMA”) are involved in ongoing litigation
+Added: with the HRSA regarding manufacturer initiatives that restrict covered entities’ ability to purchase products at the 340B
+Added: program price for shipment through an unlimited number of contract pharmacies.
+Added: Additionally, several states have enacted, and many
+Added: other states are considering, laws that prohibit manufacturer restrictions on contract pharmacies.
+Added: Certain pharmaceutical
+Added: manufacturers and PhRMA have initiated litigation challenging these state laws.
+Added: The outcome of pending judicial proceedings and the

+Added: to refund the difference to the government.
+Added: Failure to make necessary disclosures and/or to identify contract overcharges can result
+Added: in allegations against us under the False Claims Act and other laws and regulations.
+Added: Unexpected refunds to the government, and responding
