Previous wording

A commercial Payor, with which we have multiple separately managed contracts, recently notified us that it intends to terminate certain of our agreements with them. As a result of this notice of termination, we expect net neutral impacts to our financial results through the end of 2025, as the transitions of agreements and services are expected to start late in the fourth quarter of 2025. While the transitions of agreements and services are expected to continue throughout the first half of 2026, the specific timing of when these contracts will wind down is highly dependent on the Payor’s successor provider’s ability to successfully transition customers among other factors. The agreements expected to be terminated reflected approximately 12% of our net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. If we are unable to win new business to substitute this loss, effectively execute cost reduction actions, or maintain volume-based supplier discounts, the loss of this contractual relationship could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

operations, cash flows, working capital, effective tax rate, and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility and our ability to fund capital expenditures and investments and service debt may be diminished.** **Even if we are able to consummate the contemplated sale of the P&HS segment, we may be unable to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits that we believe we may be able to achieve through a sale of our P&HS segment, or such benefits may be delayed or may never occur at all. For example, we believe a sale could provide the following benefits, among others:

Current wording

Following the anticipated sale of the P&HS segment, we will be a smaller, less diversified company with a single segment, Patient Direct. If we complete the sale of our P&HS segment, we may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, the diversification of revenue, costs, and cash flows will diminish, such that our results of operations, cash flows, working capital, effective tax rate, and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility and our ability to fund capital expenditures and investments and service debt may be diminished.** **Following the anticipated sale of the P&HS segment, we may be unable to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits that we believe we may be able to achieve through the sale of our P&HS segment, or such benefits may be delayed or may never occur at all.

Previous wording

We may not achieve these or other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (i) the possibility that the sale process will be abandoned, or will otherwise not be completed, (ii) the proceeds that we receive for our P&HS segment are less than we expected, (iii) the possibility that we may not benefit as expected from the increased focus on our Patient Direct segment and simpler business model made possible by a sale, (iv) the risk of litigation, injunctions or other legal proceedings relating to a sale, (v) unforeseen costs and expenses that will be incurred in connection with the sale process and (vi) a sale will require significant amounts of management time and effort, which may divert management attention from operating and growing the Patient Direct segment.

Previous wording

We have already incurred expenses in connection with the exploration and negotiation of the contemplated sale of the P&HS segment and expect that the process of ultimately consummating any ultimate sale will be time-consuming and involve significant additional costs and expenses.

Furthermore, the sale process could cause disruptions and create uncertainty surrounding our business and affect our relationships with our customers, suppliers and teammates. Although we intend to take actions to reduce any adverse effects, these uncertainties could cause customers, suppliers and others that deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships. In addition, teammate retention could be negatively impacted. If key teammates depart because of concerns relating to the uncertainty, our business could be harmed. Investor perceptions about the announcement could have a negative impact on the trading prices of our common stock or debt. Additionally, until the market has fully analyzed our valuation following a sale of the P&HS segment, the price of our common stock may fluctuate. Furthermore, a sale is expected to decrease the diversification of our revenues, costs and cash flows, our operations, cash flows, working capital, effective tax rate and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility, and our ability to fund capital expenditures and investments, pay dividends and meet debt obligations and other liabilities may be diminished.
