Current report
As previously disclosed, the Acquisition has been subject to various legal challenges, including by the FTC and European Commission. As a result, we have been a party to a number of regulatory and administrative proceedings regarding the Acquisition, including ongoing proceedings regarding the European Commission’s assertion of jurisdiction to review the Acquisition under Article 22(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. On October 12, 2023, the European Commission announced that it had adopted the Statement of Objections issued on December 5, 2022, which ordered Illumina to, among other things, divest GRAIL. See note 8. Legal Proceedings within the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Current report
The Spin-Off could result in substantial tax liability.
Current report
We received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) and a written opinion of tax counsel substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Spin-Off and certain related transactions qualified for non-recognition of gain and loss under Sections 355 and 368 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If the factual assumptions or representations made in the request for the private letter ruling prove to have been inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, then we will not be able to rely on the ruling. Furthermore, the IRS does not rule on whether a distribution such as the Spin-Off satisfies certain requirements necessary to obtain tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code. The private letter ruling was based on representations by us and GRAIL that those requirements were satisfied, and any inaccuracy in those representations could invalidate the ruling.
Current report
Additionally, the opinion of tax counsel relied on, among other things, the continuing validity of the private letter ruling and various assumptions and representations as to factual matters made by GRAIL and us which, if inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, would jeopardize the conclusions reached by such counsel in its opinion. The opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts would not challenge the conclusions stated in the opinion or that any such challenge would not prevail. If, notwithstanding the private letter ruling and opinion of tax counsel, the IRS determines that the Spin-Off and certain related transactions did not qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the resulting tax liability to the Company and its shareholders could be substantial.
Current report
Following the Spin-Off, we remain the obligor on the contingent value rights (the CVRs) we issued in connection with the GRAIL Acquisition.
Current report
Following the Spin-Off, we remain the obligor on the CVRs and, accordingly, continue to be required to record in our financial statements the estimated future liabilities associated with the CVRs. Since we no longer own GRAIL, it may be more difficult for us to estimate these future liabilities. We also may have difficulty complying with our obligations in respect of the CVRs if we are unable to obtain timely and accurate information from GRAIL.
Current report
In April 2024, the FDA issued the Final Rule relating to Laboratory Development Tests (LDTs). Newly developed LDT products may be subject to regulatory clearance or approval, and could result in adverse impacts to our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Current report
Certain of our in vitro diagnostic products, or IVDs, are currently available through laboratories that are certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments (CLIA) of 1988. These IVD products are commonly called “laboratory developed tests,” or LDTs.
Current report
For a number of years, the FDA has exercised its regulatory enforcement discretion to not regulate LDTs as medical devices if created and used within a single laboratory. On April 29, 2024, the FDA released final regulations under 21 CFR Part 809 under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) amending the regulations to make explicit that LDTs offered as IVDs are devices under the FD&C Act including when the manufacturer of the IVD is a laboratory (the LDT Rule).
Current report
The LDT Rule also provides that the FDA intends to exercise enforcement discretion with regard to premarket review and most quality system requirements for certain categories of IVDs, including currently marketed IVDs offered as LDTs that were first marketed prior to April 29, 2024. The FDA has included additional enforcement discretion policies within the rule for LDTs approved by the New York State’s Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (NYS CLEP).
Current report
The majority of revenue from products currently offered by our laboratories do not fall within the scope of the LDT Rule. With one exception, the LDTs currently offered as IVDs by our laboratories that fall within the purview of the LDT Rule are approved by NYS CLEP and were first marketed prior to the release of the LDT Rule.
Current report
We cannot predict the specifics of how the FDA intends to implement the Final Rule and uncertainties remain as to whether and how newly developed LDT products that are now require regulatory clearance or approval may impact our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Previous report
As previously disclosed, on March 30, 2021, the FTC filed an administrative complaint alleging that our acquisition of GRAIL (the Acquisition) would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18. On September 1, 2022, the administrative law judge (the ALJ) ruled in favor of Illumina and found that the acquisition of GRAIL did not violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. The FTC’s complaint counsel appealed the ALJ’s decision to the full FTC on September 2, 2022. On March 31, 2023, the FTC issued an opinion and order (the FTC Order) requiring Illumina to divest GRAIL, reversing the ALJ’s ruling. On April 5, 2023, Illumina filed a petition for review of the FTC Order in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On April 24, 2023, the FTC granted a motion staying in its entirety the FTC Order pending resolution of Illumina’s Fifth Circuit appeal. On December 15, 2023, the Fifth Circuit issued its opinion and order, in which the Court ruled that the Commission applied the incorrect standard in assessing Illumina’s open offer contract, and on that basis vacated the FTC Order and remanded the case to the Commission for reconsideration of the effects of the open offer contract under the proper standard as described in the Fifth Circuit’s decision, and in all other respects upheld the Commission’s decision.
Previous report
As previously disclosed, on April 19, 2021, the European Commission accepted a request for referral of the Acquisition (the Referral) for European Union merger review under Article 22(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (the EU Merger Regulation), which had been submitted by a Member State of the European Union (France) and joined by several other EEA Member States (Belgium, Greece, Iceland, the Netherlands and Norway). On July 13, 2022, the EU General Court ruled that the European Commission has jurisdiction to review the Acquisition under the EU Merger Regulation. On September 22, 2022, we filed an appeal in the Court of Justice of the European Union (the EU Court of Justice) asking for annulment of the EU General Court’s decision. On December 12, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union held a hearing on the appeal. On March 21, 2024, the Advocate General assigned to this case recommended, in a non-binding Opinion, that the EU Court of Justice annul the European Commission’s decisions accepting referral of the GRAIL acquisition for EU merger review.
Previous report
As previously disclosed, on October 29, 2021, the European Commission adopted an order imposing interim measures (the Initial Interim Measures Order), which was renewed on October 28, 2022 (subject to (x) certain operational modifications and (y) an express prohibition on Illumina selling, transferring, encumbering or otherwise disposing of GRAIL or any of GRAIL’s assets), provided that (i) we ensure that Illumina and GRAIL will continue to operate as independent legal entities that transact at arms’ length, no integration activity will take place, the day-to-day operation of GRAIL will remain the sole responsibility of GRAIL’s management and our management will have no involvement in or influence over GRAIL, (ii) we take certain supportive measures to preserve GRAIL’s viability, marketability and competitiveness, including with respect to the provision of resources to GRAIL and the retention and/or replacement of key personnel of GRAIL, (iii) subject to limited exceptions, we implement all necessary measures to ensure that Illumina does not obtain any confidential information relating to GRAIL during the hold separate period and vice versa and (iv) we appoint an independent firm as monitoring trustee to monitor our compliance with the Initial Interim Measures Order. An independent monitoring trustee has been appointed. Such hold separate arrangement, and our obligations pursuant thereto, have imposed implementation and administrative processes and additional legal, financial advisory, regulatory and other professional services costs, which have been burdensome to implement and administer, and which we expect to continue for the duration of the hold separate arrangement (in the form of transitional measures imposed on Illumina pursuant to a decision adopted by the European Commission on October 12, 2023 (the EC Divestment Decision), which replaced the New Interim
Previous report
We submitted a filing indicating that we had no objections to the European Commission’s request, and the EU General Court stayed the proceedings on February 21, 2023.
Previous report
On September 6, 2022, the European Commission announced that it had completed its Phase II review of the Acquisition and adopted a final decision (the Prohibition Decision), which found that, in its view, our acquisition of GRAIL was incompatible with the internal market in Europe because it results in a significant impediment to effective competition. On November 17, 2022, we filed an action with the EU General Court asking for annulment of the Prohibition Decision. On October 12, 2023, the European Commission adopted the EC Divestment Decision requiring us to (among other things) divest GRAIL and imposing the transitional measures. On December 22, 2023, we filed an action with the EU General Court seeking an annulment of the EC Divestment Decision.
Previous report
On December 17, 2023, we announced that we will divest GRAIL. The divestiture is expected to be executed through a third-party sale or capital markets transaction in accordance with the EC Divestment Decision, with the goal of finalizing the terms of the divestiture by the end of the second quarter of 2024. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the divestiture of GRAIL. Completion of the divestiture of GRAIL will be subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, the receipt of required regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the divestiture of GRAIL. Unanticipated developments could delay, prevent or otherwise adversely affect the divestiture of GRAIL, including but not limited to disruptions in general or financial market conditions or potential problems or delays in obtaining various regulatory clearances.

Previous wording
Our acquisition of GRAIL remains subject to ongoing legal and regulatory proceedings in the United States and in the European Union. On December 17, 2023, we announced that we will divest GRAIL. Adverse decisions by the EU and/or U.S. courts, the European Commission, the FTC and/or other governmental or regulatory authorities, that have been issued in the past or may be issued in the future, and/or other adverse consequences resulting from our decision to proceed with the completion of the acquisition, have resulted in significant financial penalties, operational restrictions and increased costs, and could result in similar additional future consequences or further result in loss of revenues, implicate our existing contractual arrangements or require us to divest all or a portion of the assets or equity interests of GRAIL on terms that are materially worse than the terms on which we acquired GRAIL, any or all of which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Current wording
On June 24, 2024, we completed the separation of GRAIL into a separate, independent publicly traded company. However, our acquisition of GRAIL (the Acquisition) remains subject to ongoing legal and regulatory proceedings in the United States and in the European Union. Litigation, regulation, and other proceedings related to or resulting from the Acquisition have resulted in significant financial penalties, operational restrictions and increased costs, and could result in similar additional future consequences or further result in loss of revenues.
Previous wording
Measures Order). Such burdens and additional costs, independently or together with additional burdens, costs and/or liabilities arising from such arrangement, may result in loss of revenue and other adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, our failure to comply with the terms of the EC Divestment Decision may result in the European Commission seeking to impose fines or other penalties on us. On January 10, 2023, we filed an action with the EU General Court asking for annulment of the New Interim Measures Order. On January 20, 2023, the European Commission requested that these proceedings be stayed pending our appeal on jurisdiction.
Current wording
As previously disclosed, on October 29, 2021, the European Commission adopted an order imposing interim measures (the Initial Interim Measures Order), which was renewed on October 28, 2022. The interim measures, including the hold separate arrangement, and our obligations pursuant thereto, imposed implementation and administrative processes and additional legal, financial advisory, regulatory and other professional services costs, which were burdensome to implement and administer, and we may pay additional legal costs or be subject to investigations or penalties. Such burdens and additional costs, independently or together with additional burdens, costs and/or liabilities arising from the interim measures, may result in loss of revenue and other adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. On January 10, 2023, we filed an action with the EU General Court asking for annulment of the New Interim Measures Order. On January 20, 2023, the European Commission requested that these proceedings be stayed pending our appeal on jurisdiction.
Previous wording
The Initial Interim Measures Order, the New Interim Measures Order, the Prohibition Decision, and the EC Divestment Decision, or an FTC Divestment Decision or any other order or decision by any other governmental or regulatory authority, if implemented once final and non-appealable or during the pendency of the applicable appeals proceedings, have in the past and could may also in the future divert management’s attention and company resources away from existing operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us, any or all of which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. We have experienced and might continue to experience negative impacts on our stock price. We cannot predict what other adverse consequences to, among other things, our reputation, our relationships with governmental or regulatory authorities, or our ability to successfully complete future transactions, our ability to attract, retain and motivate customers, key personnel and those with whom we conduct business may result.
Current wording
On June 24, 2024, we completed the separation (the Spin-Off) of GRAIL into a separate, independent publicly traded company as described in note 2. GRAIL Spin-Off within the Consolidated Financial Statements. We incurred significant costs to complete the Spin-Off, including significant legal, financial advisory, regulatory and other professional services fees and additional expenses, and assumed certain liabilities in connection therewith. The Spin-Off also may result in loss of revenue and other adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we have experienced and might continue to experience negative impacts on our stock price. We cannot predict what other adverse consequences to, among other things, our reputation, our relationships with governmental or regulatory authorities, or our ability to successfully complete future transactions, our ability to attract, retain and motivate customers, key personnel and those with whom we conduct business may result.
Previous wording
On July 12, 2023, the European Commission adopted a final decision finding that we breached the EU Merger Regulation by, in its view, acquiring the possibility to exert decisive influence over GRAIL and exerting such influence during the pendency of the European Commission’s review (the Article 14(2)(b) Decision). The European Commission therefore imposed a fine on us pursuant to Article 14(2)(b) of the EU Merger Regulation of approximately €432 million, representing the maximum fine of 10% of our consolidated annual revenues for fiscal year 2022. We provided guarantees in October 2023 to satisfy the obligation in lieu of cash payment while we appeal the European Commission’s jurisdictional decision and fine decision. As of March 31, 2024, we accrued $478 million, including related accrued interest and foreign currency fluctuations, included in accrued liabilities. In addition, the European Commission, the FTC and/or other governmental or regulatory authorities may seek to impose other fines, penalties, remedies or restrictions. We expect to continue to hold the assets or equity interests of GRAIL separate until the divestment of GRAIL is effected, which could result in additional costs or liabilities, loss of revenue and other adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, under applicable accounting rules, we may be required from time to time to perform interim analyses of the value of GRAIL. To the extent that the value of GRAIL on a standalone basis is less than its book value, we would be required to record an impairment on our consolidated financial statements. For example, as previously disclosed, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $712 million related to our GRAIL reporting unit in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in our consolidated market capitalization and a higher discount rate selected for the fair value calculation of the GRAIL reporting unit.

We are named as a nominal defendant in the complaints. The Icahn Partners LP, et al. v. deSouza, et al. lawsuit alleges the named directors breached their fiduciary duties by knowingly causing Illumina to unlawfully close the GRAIL acquisition, concealing material facts related to the GRAIL acquisition and making inadequate disclosures.

See note 8. Legal Proceedings within the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. In the event that any of the matters described above result in one or more adverse judgments or settlements, we may experience an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or stock price.
Previous wording
The Prohibition Decision, the EC Divestment Decision, and any order or decision by the FTC or any other governmental or regulatory authority pursuant to which Illumina is required to divest GRAIL (an FTC Divestment Decision), if implemented once final and non-appealable or during the pendency of the applicable appeals proceedings, and our obligations pursuant thereto, have imposed in the past and may impose in the future significant costs and additional liabilities on us, including significant legal, financial advisory, regulatory and other professional services fees and additional expenses, and may result in loss of revenue and other adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such adverse effects could include divesting GRAIL on terms that are materially worse than the terms on which we acquired GRAIL. Furthermore, we may not be able to direct the timing, structure or financial terms of such divestment, which could result in negative financial or tax consequences. For example, we are unlikely to be able to, in a sale of GRAIL, effect such sale in a non-taxable transaction and so would incur significant tax liabilities attributable to the recognition of taxable gain equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of any consideration received and (ii) our tax basis in GRAIL (which tax basis is currently estimated to be between zero and $500 million). In addition, any such divestment will likely implicate certain provisions in our third-party contracts and other agreements, including our obligations with respect to the contingent value rights (the CVRs) issued by us as part of the Acquisition. We may be unable to fully discharge our obligations with respect to the CVRs in connection with any such divestiture, and/or such divestiture may result in a change in obligor on the CVRs. To the extent that Illumina has remaining obligations under the CVR Agreement following a divestment, Illumina may have more difficulty estimating the future liabilities associated with any liability associated with the CVRs once it no longer owns GRAIL. Moreover, the business of GRAIL may be adversely affected by any such divestment, which could adversely affect the market value of the CVRs. The EC Divestment Decision requires us to ensure that GRAIL has access to sufficient funds to cover at least 2.5 years of operations according to its latest long-range plan. We expect the amount of such funding will be approximately $1 billion, which includes cash from GRAIL’s balance sheet.
