Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
1. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls) within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our Disclosure Controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our Disclosure Controls, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls, which was done under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on the evaluation of our Disclosure Controls, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our Disclosure Controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
2. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). We have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as other key members of our management. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included elsewhere herein.
3. Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness
Discrete Tax Transaction
The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our income tax provision process identified in connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements as of September 30, 2021 has been remediated. Specifically, we did not provide adequate review and control with respect to the completeness and accuracy of inputs used in the income tax provision and related accrual. While the control deficiency did not result in a misstatement of our previously issued consolidated financial statements, the control deficiency could have resulted in a misstatement of the income tax related accounts or disclosures that would have resulted in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness has been remediated as of March 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
To improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate this prior period material weakness, we designed and implemented enhanced controls over the review of information underlying discrete transactions in the income tax provision.
Information Technology General Controls ("ITGCs")
The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to general information technology controls for information systems identified in connection with the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 has been remediated. Specifically, the material weakness resulted from the aggregation of control deficiencies related to systems supporting the Company's internal control processes. Our IT-dependent business process controls were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted. While the control deficiency did not result in a misstatement to the consolidated financial statement, the material weakness could have resulted in a misstatement impacting account balances or disclosures that would have resulted in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements that would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2022.
To improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate this prior period material weakness, we took the following actions:
• We conducted additional training for our IT personnel to ensure a clear understanding of risk assessment, controls and monitoring activities related to automated processes and systems and ITGCs related to financial reporting.
• We implemented improved IT policies, procedures and control activities for key systems which impact our financial reporting.
• We increased resources dedicated to monitoring ITGCs related to financial reporting, including additional personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training, to ensure compliance with policies and procedures.
• We hired a third-party to assist with the implementation of, and to review and provide feedback on, our remediation plan. In addition, the third-party advised us on best practices to further strengthen our IT control environment.
4. Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed above under "Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness," there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter or year ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
5. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Myriad Genetics, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Myriad Genetics, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Myriad Genetics, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of Myriad Genetics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the six month period ended December 31, 2020 and the year in the period ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes and our report dated March 1, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
