OPKO HEALTH, INC.

We are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Please refer to Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

As previously disclosed, on December 29, 2022, the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) issued an assessment against our subsidiary, OPKO Biologics in the amount of approximately $246 million (including interest) related to uncertain tax positions involving income recognition in connection with an examination of foreign tax returns for the 2014 through 2020 tax years. We recognize that local tax law is inherently complex, and the local taxing authorities may not agree with certain tax positions taken. We have appealed this assessment, as we believe, other than for uncertain tax positions for which we have reserved, the issues are without technical merit. The matter is currently before the courts. While the trial has concluded, there are certain other procedural matters under Israeli law that must occur before a judgment is rendered. We intend to continue to exhaust all judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matter, as necessary, which has been a lengthy process. There can be no assurance that this matter will be resolved in our favor, and an adverse outcome, or any future tax examinations involving similar assertions, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
