−Removed: If any of these events occurs, our business
+Added: If any of these events occur , our business
could be adversely affected .
+Added: The impact of healthcare reform legislation and other proposed or future changes impacting the healthcare
+Added: industry and healthcare spending on us is currently unknown, but may adversely affect our business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations.
+Added: Our revenue is dependent on the healthcare industry and could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and
+Added: The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, regulatory and other influences.
+Added: The Affordable Care Act (the
+Added: “ACA”), enacted in March 2010, made major changes in how healthcare is delivered and reimbursed, and increased access
+Added: to health insurance benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population of the United States.
+Added: The ACA, among other
+Added: things, increased the number of individuals with Medicaid and private insurance coverage, implemented reimbursement
+Added: policies that tie payment to quality, facilitated the creation of accountable care organizations that may use capitation and
+Added: other alternative payment methodologies, strengthened enforcement of fraud and abuse laws and encouraged the use of
+Added: information technology.
+Added: New and changing laws, regulations, executive orders and other governmental actions, particularly from the new
+Added: presidential administration, may also create uncertainty about how laws and regulations will be interpreted and applied.
+Added: Such changes can adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing spending by our customers, limiting the
+Added: Company’s ability to pursue or offer new offerings, and requiring changes to our business.
+Added: Regulatory changes and other
+Added: actions that materially adversely affect our business may be announced with little or no advance notice and we may not be
+Added: able to effectively mitigate all adverse impacts from such measures.
+Added: Differing interpretations of such legal obligations can
+Added: expose us to significant fines, government investigations, litigation and reputational harm.
+Added: If we are found to have violated
+Added: laws, regulations, or executive orders, it could materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and
+Added: financial condition.
+Added: In addition, recently there has been heightened governmental scrutiny of the manner in which pharma manufacturers
+Added: set prices for their marketed products, which has resulted in several U.S.
+Added: congressional inquiries and proposed and enacted
+Added: federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to medication pricing, reduce the cost
+Added: of prescription medications under government payor programs, and review the relationship between pricing and
+Added: manufacturer patient programs.
+Added: For example, in August 2022, former President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of
+Added: 2022 (the “IRA”) into law.
+Added: This statute marks the most significant action by Congress with respect to the pharmaceutical
+Added: industry since adoption of the ACA in 2010.
+Added: Among other things, the IRA requires manufacturers of certain drugs to engage
+Added: in price negotiations with Medicare, with prices that can be negotiated subject to a cap;
+Added: imposes rebates under Medicare
+Added: Part B and Medicare Part D to penalize price increases that outpace inflation (first due in 2023);
+Added: redesigns the Medicare Part
+Added: D benefit (beginning in 2024);
+Added: and replaces the Part D coverage gap discount program with a new manufacturer discounting
+Added: program (beginning in 2025).
+Added: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has published the negotiated prices for the
+Added: initial ten drugs, which will first be effective in 2026, and has published the list of the subsequent 15 drugs that will be subject
+Added: to negotiation.
+Added: The IRA permits the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") to implement many
+Added: of these provisions through guidance, as opposed to regulation, for the initial years.
+Added: HHS has and will continue to issue and
+Added: update guidance as these programs are implemented, although the drug price negotiation program is currently subject to
+Added: legal challenges.
+Added: In addition, the IRA delayed the final rule removing safe harbor protection for price reductions given by
+Added: pharmaceutical manufacturers to plan sponsors under Part D, either directly or through PBMs, unless the price reduction is
+Added: required by law, until 2032.
+Added: In July 2025, the government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), which
+Added: included reforms to programs such as Medicaid and restrictions for certain groups to access the Affordable Care Act
+Added: These changes may result in an increase in the number of individuals who are unable to access health
+Added: insurance benefits and medical care, and their ability to receive prescriptions and certain prescribed medications.
+Added: impact of the IRA and OBBBA on our business and the pharmaceutical industry cannot yet be fully determined but is likely to
+Added: be significant.
+Added: More recently, the current presidential administration has proposed the imposition of a 100% tariff on branded or
+Added: patented pharmaceutical product produced outside of the United States.
+Added: Such tariff may increase costs to our customers
+Added: and decrease demand for pharmaceutical products and consequently our offerings, which could have a material adverse
+Added: effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Certain major drug producers and manufacturers are in
+Added: negotiations with the administration to receive relief from such tariff.
+Added: As a result of these negotiations, certain manufacturers
+Added: have announced their participation in a new government sponsored direct-to-consumer platform called “TrumpRx.gov,”
+Added: designed to offer consumers discounts on their products and some specialty brands.
+Added: Details regarding this government
+Added: sponsored platform, as well as any potential positive or negative impact on our business, offerings or results of operations,
+Added: are unclear at this time but may be significant.
+Added: Our ability to realize the benefits of opportunities that we elect to pursue, such as initiatives related to TrumpRx.gov,
+Added: may be limited, and we may be unable to fully achieve related business goals.
+Added: At the same time, ongoing changes and shifts
+Added: in healthcare policy, or changes in applicable legal standards, may reduce or even eliminate opportunities we may wish to
+Added: As a result, any returns on our investment in developing these opportunities are uncertain and the failure to achieve
+Added: related business goals may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
+Added: Congress has and is likely to continue to scrutinize key participants in the healthcare industry, including PBMs.
+Added: number of bills have been introduced in Congress that would further regulate PBMs and impose additional requirements.
+Added: The Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") has issued statements about PBMs and conducted a study of PBMs that
+Added: resulted in two published reports, which could motivate further actions by Congress with respect to PBM regulation.
+Added: findings in the report may motivate further actions by Congress with respect to PBM regulation.
+Added: In September 2024, the FTC
+Added: filed an administrative complaint against the three largest PBMs and their affiliated group purchasing organizations alleging
+Added: that the PBMs engaged in anti-competitive and unfair practices that increased costs for insulin medication.
+Added: It is unclear what
+Added: the results of this matter will be, and what impact this will have on the PBM industry and our business, financial condition
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: See our risk factor titled “We are, and may become in the future, subject to various legal
+Added: proceedings and claims that arise in or outside the ordinary course of business, which may require significant management
+Added: time and attention, result in significant legal expenses and may result in unfavorable outcomes, which may have a material
+Added: adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, and negatively affect the price of our Class A
+Added: common stock ” previously disclosed in our 2024 10-K.
+Added: Individual states in the United States have also increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed
+Added: to control medication pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product
+Added: access, disclosure, transparency and reporting requirements to regulatory agencies regarding marketing costs and
+Added: discounts provided to patients, such as those provided through our prescription transactions offering and subscription
+Added: offerings, for prescription medications dispensed by pharmacies, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation
+Added: from other countries and bulk purchasing.
+Added: Some states have enacted legislation creating so-called prescription drug
+Added: affordability boards, which ultimately may attempt to impose price limits on certain drugs in these states.
+Added: In addition, the
+Added: Supreme Court held in December 2020 in Rutledge v.
+Added: Pharmaceutical Care Management that ERISA, a federal statute, did
+Added: not preempt an Arkansas state law that regulates PBM reimbursements to network pharmacies and other standards for
+Added: PBMs’ reimbursements to network pharmacies.
+Added: As a result of this holding, some states have passed, and other states may
+Added: pass similar legislation or may otherwise attempt to regulate PBMs, which could have impacts on the healthcare industry.
+Added: Further, we may see heightened regulatory scrutiny from state regulators related to our integrated savings programs,
+Added: particularly with respect to insurance laws.
+Added: These regulatory requirements and related scrutiny may impose timing and
+Added: expense constraints on us or our industry partners that could adversely affect our partnerships or our operations.
+Added: We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could
+Added: impact the amounts that federal and state governments and other third-party payors will pay for healthcare products and
+Added: services or require us to restructure our existing arrangements with PBMs and pharma manufacturers, any of which could
+Added: adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
