Emergent BioSolutions Inc

OVERVIEW

We are a global life sciences company focused on providing innovative preparedness and response solutions addressing accidental, deliberate and naturally occurring Public Health Threats (“PHTs”). Our solutions include a product portfolio, a product development portfolio, and a contract development and manufacturing (“CDMO”) services portfolio. The types of PHTs we are currently addressing are focused on the following four categories:

•chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (“CBRNE”);

•emerging infectious diseases (“EID”);

•emerging health crises; and

•acute, emergency and community care.

Our revenues are derived from a combination of the sale and procurement of our product/product candidate portfolio (described below), the provision of our bioservices to external customers, and non-dilutive contract and grant funding for research and development (“R&D”) projects from various third-party sources.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has a product portfolio of 10 products that it is actively developing and/or marketing (vaccines, therapeutics, and drug-device combination products). The revenues generated by the products comprise a substantial portion of our revenue. We structure our business with a focus on markets and customers. As such, the key components of the business structure include the following four product and service categories: NARCAN® commercial product, Anthrax - Medical Countermeasures (“MCM”) Products, Smallpox - MCM products and Emergent Bioservices (CDMO) (“Bioservices”).

OUR OPERATING SEGMENTS

Our business is organized in three reportable segments:

•our Commercial Product Segment consisting of NARCAN® Nasal Spray;

•our MCM Products Segment consisting of Anthrax—MCM products, Smallpox—MCM products and Other Products (as discussed below); and

•our Services Segment consisting of our Bioservices portfolio.

Additionally, we have a centralized R&D organization and an enterprise-wide governance approach to managing our portfolio of R&D projects.

Commercial Product Segment

In the U.S. and Canadian markets, our Commercial business primarily focuses on sales of NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray. NARCAN® Nasal Spray is sold commercially over-the-counter ("OTC") at retail pharmacies and digital commerce websites as well as through physician-directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies, health departments, local law enforcement agencies, community-based organizations, substance abuse centers and other federal agencies.

On May 15, 2023, we completed the sale of our Commercial Products Segment's travel health business, including rights to Vivotif®, the licensed typhoid vaccine; Vaxchora®, the licensed cholera vaccine; the development-stage chikungunya vaccine candidate CHIKV VLP; the Company’s manufacturing site in Bern, Switzerland; and certain of its development facilities in San Diego, California to Bavarian Nordic (the "Bavarian Nordic Transaction"). Bavarian Nordic may be required to pay milestone payments related to the development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing approval and authorization in the U.S. and Europe, and earn-out payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora® and Vivotif® in calendar year 2026. We have achieved all four development milestones. Specifically, on July 18, 2024, Bavarian Nordic announced that the European Medicines Agency had validated the marketing authorization application for CHIKV VLP, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $10.0 million (the "First Milestone Payment"). On August 13, 2024, Bavarian Nordic announced that the United States ("U.S.") Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has accepted and granted Priority Review for the Biologics License Application "BLA") for CHIKV VLP, which triggered a milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million (the "Second Milestone Payment"). On February 14, 2025, the FDA approved CHIKV VLP under the Priority Review for persons 12 years of age and older, which triggered a milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $30.0 million (the "Third Milestone Payment"). On February 28, 2025, the European Commission approved CHIKV VLP for persons 12 years of age and older, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million (the "Fourth Milestone Payment"). The Company received the First and Second Milestone Payments during the year ended December 31, 2024, and as a result $30.0 million of up to $80.0 million total milestone payments have been received as of December 31, 2024. The Company expects to receive the Third and Fourth Milestone Payments in the first half of 2025.

In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Bavarian Nordic TSA”) with Bavarian Nordic to help support its ongoing operations. Under the Bavarian Nordic TSA, the Company provided certain transition services to Bavarian Nordic, including information technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, research and development, human resources, employee benefits and other limited services. While the services under the Bavarian Nordic TSA were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2024, certain services continue to be provided as of December 31, 2024. For additional information, refer to Note 3, "Divestitures" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K.

MCM Products Segment

Our Government - MCM business focuses primarily on procurement of MCM products and procured product candidates by domestic and international government customers, with an emphasis on the U.S. Government (“USG”), which is our largest customer. We also sell MCM products and procured product candidates to domestic and international non- and quasi-government organizations and to governments outside of the U.S.

On July 31, 2024, we entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RSDL® Agreement”) with SERB Pharmaceuticals, through its wholly owned subsidiary BTG International Inc. (collectively, “SERB”), pursuant to which, among other things, we sold our worldwide rights to RSDL® to SERB (the “RSDL® Transaction”). See Note 3, “Divestitures” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K for more information on the RSDL® Transaction.

Services Segment

Our services business consists of distinct but interrelated bioservices based on our manufacturing capabilities: drug substance manufacturing; drug product manufacturing (also referred to as “fill/finish” services) and packaging; development services including technology transfer, process and analytical development services; and, when necessary, suite reservation obligations. Our services utilize diverse technology platforms (mammalian, microbial, viral and plasma) from our development and manufacturing facilities to support internal products and enable us to offer unique capabilities to both clinical-stage and commercial-stage projects for a variety of third-party customers, including government agencies, innovative pharmaceutical companies, and non-government organizations.

In August 2023, we initiated an organizational restructuring plan (the “August 2023 Plan”) which included actions to reduce investment in, and de-emphasize focus on, our Bioservices business. In May 2024, we initiated a further organizational restructuring plan (the “May 2024 Plan”) announcing the closure of our Baltimore-Bayview Drug Substance manufacturing facility and Rockville, Maryland Drug Product facility, which led to a reduction in workforce by approximately 300 employees across all areas of the Company and the elimination of approximately 85 positions that were vacant. In August 2024, the Company initiated an organizational restructuring plan (the "August 2024 Plan") at the Company’s Lansing facility, which reduced the Company’s workforce by approximately 70 employees, as well as eliminated several open positions. Additionally, on August 20, 2024, pursuant to the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), we completed the sale of our Drug Product facility in Baltimore-Camden (the “Camden Transaction”) to Bora Pharmaceuticals Injectables Inc., a subsidiary of Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Bora”). See Note 3, “Divestitures” and Note 4, “Impairment and restructuring charges” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K for more information related to these announcements.

OUR STRATEGY

In 2024, the Company set a new multi-year strategic plan adopted by management to stabilize, turnaround and transform the Company while maintaining our commitment to protect the public, by providing lifesaving products that address the most critical conditions.

Specifically, throughout 2024, the Company took steps in several areas of the business to strengthen our financial position and de-risk the business. In addition to the sale of RSDL®, the implementation of the May 2024 and August 2024 Plans, the Camden Transaction, and milestone payments relating to the Bavarian Nordic Transaction, each discussed above, on July 3, 2024, the Company sold an underutilized warehouse at its Canton, Massachusetts facility for approximately $7.0 million, and on July 31, 2024, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Emergent Manufacturing Operations Baltimore, LLC (“EMOB”) entered into a settlement agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (“Janssen”) (the "Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company received $50.0 million, and all claims among the parties arising from the 2022 termination of the Company's manufacturing services agreement with Janssen (the “Janssen Agreement”) were resolved. Together, these steps led to a reduction of the Company’s debt of approximately $200 million and streamlined the Company's operations, with approximately $130 million in annualized savings.

To further strengthen the Company's financial position, on August 30, 2024, the Company refinanced its credit facility and entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto, and OHA Agency LLC, as administrative agent. The Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan (the “Term Loan”) of $250.0 million, which was drawn in full on the date of entry into the Term Loan Agreement (the “Closing Date”). The Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 3.00%. The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan to repay all amounts outstanding and terminate commitments under the senior term loan facility under the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 15, 2018, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Administrative Agent (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), plus accrued interest and fees. The Company previously repaid all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement.

In addition, on September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement for asset-based revolving loans (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with certain subsidiary borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Agent”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for commitments with respect to asset-based revolver loans (the “Revolving Loans”) of up to the lesser of (x) $100.0 million, which may be increased (but not above $125.0 million, or the “Maximum Revolver Amount”) or decreased (but not below $50.0 million) by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). Once reduced, the facility may not be increased. Up to $5.0 million of capacity under the Revolving Loans may be used for swing loans and up to $10.0 million may be used for the issuance of letters of credit.

We also achieved a number of positive milestones in our core products business during fiscal year 2024, including the receipt of approximately $223 million of new USG orders across ACAM2000® (discussed more fully below), VIGIV CNJ-016® and BAT®, as well as securing the exercise of an additional option for Ebanga™ and the continued growth of OTC NARCAN® Nasal Spray.

Looking to 2025, the Company plans to advance its multi-year strategic efforts by turning the Company's focus from stabilization to turnaround, while holding firm to its commitment to protect the public, by providing lifesaving products that address the most critical conditions. The Company has identified several priorities for 2025 that it believes will enable profitable growth and improved operating performance, and create long-term and sustainable value for our stakeholders. The priorities are:

•Reinforcing the highest standards of patient safety, quality and compliance;

•Leveraging bipartisan support to drive our business forward;

•Enabling growth of existing segments to maintain revenue diversification;

•Seeking new opportunities aligned to our internal capabilities;

•Strategically focusing on international expansion efforts; and

•Elevating our business lines for today's competitive landscape.

PRIMARY PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT CANDIDATES

Government - MCM Products

The current portfolio of our Government - MCM business consists of the following products:

Description of MCM Products

ACAM2000®(Smallpox and Mpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live). ACAM2000® vaccine is a smallpox and mpox vaccine licensed by the FDA for active immunization for the prevention of smallpox and mpox disease in individuals determined to be at high risk for smallpox or mpox infection. The mpox indication was approved by the FDA following a supplemental Biological License Application ("sBLA") approval issued on August 29, 2024. On December 5, 2023, ACAM2000® vaccine received a Notice of Compliance from Health Canada for its Extraordinary Use New Drug Submission (EUNDS) for the indication of active immunization against smallpox disease for persons determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection. ACAM2000® is also licensed in Australia and Singapore for the smallpox indication. ACAM2000® vaccine is currently stockpiled both in the U.S. and internationally. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the Variola virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"), smallpox is a devastating disease, with a mortality rate as high as 30%. In recent years, there have been global outbreaks of Mpox, which is caused by a virus in the same family as smallpox, increasing the need for vaccine access. This is particularly true in endemic regions. The vaccine stimulates a person's immune system to develop antibodies and cell responses that can then help the body fight off infection if exposure occurs.

On September 3, 2019, we announced the award by the USG of a contract valued at up to approximately $2.0 billion over 10 years for the continued supply of ACAM2000® vaccine into the SNS, assuming all contract options are exercised. This multiple-year contract is intended to support the replacement of the smallpox vaccine stockpile and included a one-year base period of performance in 2019 valued at approximately $170.0 million, and nine option years. The number of doses under the base period were delivered by year end 2019. On May 28, 2020, we announced the exercise by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") of the first contract option, valued at $176.0 million, to procure doses of ACAM2000® vaccine. The number of doses under the first contract option were delivered by year end 2020. On July 13, 2021, we announced the exercise by HHS of the second contract option, valued at $182.2 million, to procure doses of ACAM2000® vaccine. We completed the delivery of all ACAM2000® doses in 2022. The USG chose to not exercise its option year in 2022. On May 26, 2023, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Emergent Product Development Gaithersburg Inc., received a contract modification from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (“ASPR”), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), exercising and funding the third of nine annual contract term extension options (the “Third Option Exercise”) for Emergent to supply ACAM2000® to the SNS. The Third Option Exercise is valued at approximately $120 million. On June 28, 2024, Emergent Product Development Gaithersburg Inc., received a contract modification from the ASPR exercising and funding the fifth contract term extension options (the “Fifth Option Exercise”) for Emergent to supply ACAM2000® to the SNS. The Fifth Option Exercise is valued at approximately $99.9 million. The Third and Fifth Option Exercises were made under bilateral modifications of Emergent’s existing 10-year contract awarded by ASPR on August 30, 2019. The period of performance under the Third and Fifth Option Exercise required Emergent to deliver doses of ACAM2000® into the SNS by June 2023 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and the Company achieved delivery in these periods.

ANTHRASIL®. ANTHRASIL® (Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)) is the only polyclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA for the treatment of inhalational anthrax in adult and pediatric patients in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs. In 2024, we continued two contracts with HHS for Anthrasil Anthrax IGIV: 1) a development and procurement contract which was successfully completed as of September 2024, and 2) an active delivery order issued under a multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract. We anticipate that the direct disposition of the plasma and close out activities will be completed before July 31, 2025. In addition to domestic USG revenue, Anthrasil solution has been sold to several foreign governments.

BAT® [Botulism Antitoxin Heptavalent (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) – (Equine)]. BAT® antitoxin is the only equine plasma antitoxin licensed by the FDA and Health Canada for the treatment of all seven botulinum neurotoxin serotypes. BAT® antitoxin is licensed by the FDA for the treatment of symptomatic botulism following suspected or documented exposure to botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, B, C, D, E, F or G in adults and pediatric patients. It is also licensed in Canada pursuant to Health Canada’s Extraordinary Use New Drugs regulations. BAT® antitoxin is the only heptavalent botulism antitoxin available in the U.S. and Canada for treating naturally occurring botulism in adults or pediatric patients. Botulinum toxin is a nerve toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that causes botulism, a serious paralytic illness. On May 8, 2020, we announced the finalization of a previously announced contract with HHS, valued at up to $550.0 million, if all options under the contract are exercised. The contract has two deliverables. The first deliverable, negotiated in September 2019 and valued at up to approximately $90.0 million, is to supply annual doses of BAT® antitoxin into the SNS for 10 years by converting existing bulk drug substance into final drug product. This deliverable also includes options for additional doses valued at up to approximately $94.0 million over 10 years. The second deliverable, valued at up to approximately $366.0 million, is for the production of additional doses of bulk drug substance over 10 years to maintain the plasma collection and production capability for botulism response planning. In addition to domestic government sales, BAT® antitoxin continues to be sold internationally, with deliveries to 25 foreign countries in 2024.

BioThrax®(Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed). BioThrax® vaccine is the only vaccine licensed by the FDA for pre-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease in persons at high risk of exposure. BioThrax® vaccine is also approved by the FDA for post-exposure prophylaxis administration in combination with antimicrobial therapy in the event of suspected or confirmed exposure to Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax is a potentially fatal disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Inhalational anthrax is the most lethal form of anthrax. In the U.S., BioThrax® vaccine is administered in a pre-exposure prophylaxis setting by intramuscular injection as a three-dose primary series over a six-month period. Per the U.S. label, booster doses are administered six and 12 months after completion of the primary series and at 12-month intervals thereafter. BioThrax® vaccine is administered in a post-exposure prophylaxis setting as three subcutaneous injections two weeks apart in conjunction with antibacterial drugs following suspected or confirmed Bacillus anthracis exposure. When we report the revenue associated with “anthrax vaccines,” it reflects the combined revenue from the procurement and sale of BioThrax® vaccine as well as CYFENDUS® vaccine (formerly referred to as AV7909, described below).

On January 11, 2024, the Company announced that it has secured an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity ("IDIQ") procurement contract with the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") and led by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense, with a maximum value up to $235.8 million, to supply BioThrax® vaccine for use by all branches of the U.S. military as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for anthrax disease. The IDIQ contract is comprised of a five-year base agreement ending on September 30, 2028, and an additional five-year option that would extend the contract to September 30, 2033. In 2024, one delivery order was issued, exercising two contract options for $27.9 million. On January 8, 2025, the Company announced the exercise of a third option and modification to the IDIQ contract valued at approximately $20 million to supply BioThrax® vaccine for use by all branches of the U.S. military as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for anthrax disease.

CYFENDUS®(Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted) (referred to as investigational product AV7909 prior to FDA approval in July 2023). CYFENDUS® vaccine was approved by the FDA for post-exposure prophylaxis of disease following suspected or confirmed exposure to Bacillus anthracis in persons 18 through 65 years of age when administered in conjunction with recommended antibacterial drugs. In 2021, AV7909 was granted orphan drug designation by the FDA. In July 2023, we received BLA approval for CYFENDUS® from the FDA. Studies have shown that CYFENDUS® elicits a stronger immune response using fewer doses than BioThrax® vaccine, which is expected to allow patients to reach a protective level of immunity more rapidly. CYFENDUS® is designed to provide protection with a two-dose regimen (versus the BioThrax® three-dose regimen) for post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease, when administered in combination with the recommended antibacterial drugs.

In September 2016, we signed a combination development and procurement contract with Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA"), which included a five-year base period of performance to develop CYFENDUS® for post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease and to deliver to the SNS an initial two million doses, subsequently modified to three million doses in March 2017. The contract also includes procurement options for the delivery of an additional 7.5 million to 50.0 million doses of CYFENDUS® into the SNS and options for an additional clinical study and post marketing commitments. In 2019, we initiated and completed enrollment of a Phase 3 study of 3,850 subjects evaluating safety, immunogenicity and lot consistency. The study was completed in 2020. In collaboration with us, the CDC filed with the FDA a pre-EUA submission package related to CYFENDUS®. Following this submission, BARDA began procuring CYFENDUS®, exercising its first three contract options in July 2019, July 2020 and September 2021, respectively, followed by the execution of two contract modifications in 2023. In 2024, two additional contract modifications (valued at approximately $80.0 million) were executed with BARDA; full delivery under the first modification was completed in 2024, and partial delivery for the second modification occurred in 2024 with the remainder to be delivered in 2025.

Ebanga TM (ansuvimab-zykl), for injection. Ebanga TM (ansuvimab-zykl) is a monoclonal antibody with antiviral activity provided through a single IV infusion (over 60 minutes) for the treatment of Zaire ebolavirus in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Zaire ebolavirus. On July 1, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement and a license agreement with Ridgeback Biotherapeutics (“Ridgeback”) to expand the availability of Ebanga TM (ansuvimab-zykl). This included a license to the Ebanga™ trademark and to certain patent rights related to Ebanga TM (ansuvimab-zykl). We will be responsible for manufacturing, selling and distributing Ebanga TM (ansuvimab-zykl) in the U.S. and Canada and Ridgeback will serve as the global access partner. In July 2023, we announced we were awarded a 10-year contract by BARDA, valued at up to a maximum of $704 million, for advanced development, manufacturing scale-up, and procurement of Ebanga™. In September 2024, BARDA elected to exercise Option 1 (valued at approximately $41.9 million) under the contract for work related to drug substance engineering, scale-up, stability, process validation and commercial readiness.

Raxibacumab injection. Our raxibacumab product is the first fully human monoclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA for the treatment and prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax due to Bacillus anthracis. Our raxibacumab product is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with inhalational anthrax in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs and for prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax when alternative therapies are not available or appropriate.

TEMBEXA® (brincidofovir) tablets and oral suspension. TEMBEXA® is the first oral antiviral approved by the FDA for the treatment of smallpox disease caused by variola virus in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates. On September 26, 2022, we acquired exclusive worldwide rights to brincidofovir from Chimerix Inc. for the treatment of any human smallpox disease or any other disease caused by any orthopox virus. Following the acquisition, the 10-year contract with BARDA, valued at up to $680.0 million, to supply up to 1.7 million tablet and suspension formulations of TEMBEXA® was novated to the Company, which contract was modified in September 2024 to execute additional procurement options valued at approximately $67.4 million. On December 11, 2023, Emergent received a Notice of Compliance from Health Canada for its Extraordinary Use New Drug Submission (EUNDS) for indication of the treatment of human smallpox disease in adults and pediatric patients, including newborn infants. On November 6, 2024, Emergent announced that TEMBEXA® will be included in a clinical trial conducted and sponsored by PANTHER, under the leadership of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as part of the MpOx Study in Africa. The Company has two patent families relating to the TEMBEXA® product including but not limited to, those listed in the Orange Book: 8,962,829, 9,303,051, 9,371,344, 10,112,909, and 10,487,061. The latest expiring United States composition of matter patents expires in 2034.

VIGIV CNJ-016®(Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)). VIGIV CNJ-016®is the only polyclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA and Health Canada to address certain complications from replicating virus smallpox vaccination. The principal customer for VIGIV CNJ-016®is the USG, specifically HHS. In June 2019, we announced a contract award by HHS valued at approximately $535.0 million over 10 years for the continued supply of VIGIV CNJ-016® into the SNS for smallpox preparedness. VIGIV CNJ-016®has also been procured by a limited number of foreign governments.

In addition, NARCAN® Nasal Spray is sold to businesses online and through pharmacies nationwide. On November 24, 2023, we submitted a Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL) Application to Health Canada that would permit Emergent to distribute naloxone convenience kits containing medical devices (gloves and CPR mask) and Narcan® Nasal Spray (4mg) to comply with provincial legislative requirements. On December 22, 2023, Emergent Canada Inc. received the MDEL, enabling the direct distribution of naloxone convenience kits containing medical devices and NARCAN® Nasal Spray in Canada, which distribution was launched in 2024.

The following table lists the registered trademarks for NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray:

We market our bioservices to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, governments and NGOs. We also provided bioservices to the USG, which ended in 2021. Our bioservices are supported by a dedicated group of professionals qualified to represent the full breadth of our service offerings.

Competition

Our products and any product or product candidate that we acquire or successfully develop and commercialize are likely to compete with current products and product candidates that are in development for the same indications. The competition for our products and product candidates includes the following:

•ACAM2000®. ACAM2000® vaccine, which is licensed by the FDA for smallpox and mpox, and is licensed in Australia, Canada and Singapore for smallpox, remains the primary smallpox vaccine stockpiled by the USG and offers key features for public health mass vaccination programs that are critical, including a single dose vaccination schedule and multi-dose vial presentation. ACAM2000® vaccine faces competition from JYNNEOSTM vaccine, which is licensed by the FDA for the prevention of smallpox and mpox disease in adults 18 years of age and older determined to be at high risk for smallpox or mpox infection. JYNNEOS® vaccine is also approved in Switzerland, Singapore and Mexico. JYNNEOS® vaccine is approved in Canada and in the EU and United Kingdom under the trade names IMVAMUNE® and IMVANEX®, respectively. ACAM2000®vaccine also faces competition from KM Biologics LC16m8 vaccine, which is approved in Japan for smallpox and mpox.

•CYFENDUS® and BioThrax®. CYFENDUS® and BioThrax® vaccines are currently procured, primarily by the USG, for prevention of anthrax disease. BioThrax® and CYFENDUS®vaccines are currently the only two anthrax vaccines approved by the FDA for prevention of anthrax disease, and CYFENDUS® and BioThrax® are the only anthrax vaccines procured by the USG for the SNS to date. We face potential future competition for the supply of anthrax vaccines if the USG chooses to procure alternative products or product candidates. GC Pharma, Blue Willow Biologics/Porton Biopharma, and Greffex are each currently developing anthrax vaccine product candidates, which are in various stages of clinical development. Of these product candidates, GC Pharma and Blue Willow Biologics have completed Phase 1 trials.

Inmazeb® is currently procured by the USG for the SNS.

•NARCAN®. NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray is the first FDA-approved intranasal naloxone spray for the emergency reversal of opioid overdoses. Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and its Canadian affiliate (collectively, "Teva") have generic versions of an intranasal naloxone spray based on NARCAN® Nasal Spray approved by the FDA and Health Canada. Teva launched its generic naloxone nasal spray in the U.S. in 2021. Padagis Pharmaceuticals also has a generic version of an intranasal naloxone spray based on NARCAN® Nasal Spray approved by the FDA. Padagis launched its generic naloxone nasal spray in 2022. NARCAN® Nasal Spray also faces branded competition: Kloxxado TM (naloxone HCl) nasal spray 8mg, a branded product developed by Hikma, Rextovy TM, (naloxone HCL nasal spray 4 mg), a branded product developed by Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its naloxone injection product, Teleflex Medical Inc.'s Intranasal Mucosal Atomization Device and Zimhi TM (naloxone), a branded injectable product developed by Adamis and RiVive™ a 3mg naloxone nasal spray formulation intended for use in opioid overdose reversal by Harm Reduction Therapeutics. On May 22, 2023, FDA granted approval of OPVEE® (nalmefene) Nasal Spray to Opiant Pharmaceuticals Inc, (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Indivior PLC), which was released in the market during fourth quarter of 2023. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. also received a notice of compliance (NOC) from Health Canada on January 2, 2024. In April 2024, the FDA approved Rezenopy® (naloxone HCL nasal spray 10mg), a branded product manufactured by Summit Biosciences Inc. In addition, in April 2024, the FDA approved an additional ANDA for nasal naloxone 4mg from Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was the first generic equivalent to OTC NARCAN®Nasal Spray to be launched. NARCAN® Nasal Spray may face additional generic and branded competition in the future.

•Raxibacumab and Anthrasil®[Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)]. Our raxibacumab product is the first FDA-licensed fully human anthrax monoclonal antibody therapeutic and Anthrasil® [Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] is the only polyclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA and Health Canada for the treatment of inhalational anthrax in adult and pediatric patients in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs. Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. has obtained FDA licensure for Anthim® (obiltoxaximab) injection, a monoclonal antibody indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax. Obiltoxaximab is also approved in Canada.

•TEMBEXA® (brincidofovir). TEMBEXA® is the first oral antiviral approved by the FDA, in June 2021, for all age groups for the treatment of smallpox. In December 2023, TEMBEXA® received approval by Health Canada. TEMBEXA® faces competition from TPOXX® (tecovirimat), an oral therapy for the treatment of smallpox disease that was approved by the FDA in July 2018 and is currently procured by the USG for the SNS. TPOXX® is also approved in Canada and the EU. In the EU and Japan, TPOXX® is indicated for the treatment of smallpox, mpox and cowpox, as well as the treatment of complications following vaccination against smallpox.

We also compete for bioservices with several biopharmaceutical product R&D organizations, contract manufacturers of biopharmaceutical products, other bioservices organizations, and university research laboratories.

We also compete with in-house research, development and support service departments of other biopharmaceutical companies.

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

Manufacturing Network: Emergent relies on an internal and external network of manufacturers and other third parties to produce and test its commercial and clinical supply of products. The following products are manufactured internally: ACAM2000®, Anthrasil®, BAT® and VIGIV CNJ-016®.

NARCAN® Nasal Spray, EBANGA™, TEMBEXA®, CYFENDUS®and BioThrax® are produced externally in whole or in part by contract manufacturers. However, we perform the majority of the work internally to produce CYFENDUS®and BioThrax®.

For example, materials for production of NARCAN® Nasal Spray, such as the naloxone active pharmaceutical ingredient and other excipients, along with the vial, stopper and device are produced around the world by other third parties and delivered to the primary manufacturer and released to manufacturing following appropriate testing.

Supplies and Raw Materials: We place purchase orders for quantities of raw material and supplies in advance of their use in manufacturing in quantities believed to be sufficient to meet upcoming demand requirements. Once received into our facilities or our contract manufacturer’s facility, these materials are subject to rigorous testing to ensure they are appropriate for use.

We obtain Alhydrogel® adjuvant 2%, which is used in the manufacture of CYFENDUS® and BioThrax® vaccines, from a single-source supplier for which we currently have no alternative source of supply. However, we maintain stored supplies of this adjuvant in quantities we believe to be sufficient to meet our expected manufacturing needs. We also utilize single-source suppliers for other raw materials in our manufacturing processes.

In addition, we utilize single source suppliers for all components of NARCAN® Nasal Spray.

We also rely on single source suppliers for our plasma collection to support the VIGIV CNJ-016® and BAT® programs. We work closely with our suppliers for these specialty programs and operate under long-term agreements.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We actively seek to protect intellectual property related to our assets, including patent rights, trademark rights, trade secrets and proprietary confidential information, through defense and enforcement of existing rights and pursuit of protection on new and arising innovations. The duration of and the type of protection for patent rights depends upon many factors including the type of patent, the scope of its coverage, the availability of regulatory-related extensions or administrative term adjustments, the availability of legal remedies in a particular country, and the validity and enforceability of the patents. We are a party to various license agreements, including those under which we license patents, patent applications, trademarks, know-how, and other intellectual property rights. It is our policy to ethically consider the enforcement and defense of our intellectual property rights, and to respect the valid and enforceable intellectual property rights of others.

REGULATION

Regulations in the U.S. and other countries have a significant impact on our product development, manufacturing and marketing activities.

Government Contracting

Our status as a USG contractor means that we are subject to various statutes and regulations, including:

•the Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") and agency-specific regulations supplemental to FAR, which comprehensively regulate the award, formation, administration and performance of government contracts;

•the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement ("DFARS") and agency-specific regulations supplemental to DFARS, which comprehensively regulate the award, formation, administration and performance of DoD government contracts;

•the Department of State Acquisition Regulation which regulates the relationship between a Department of State organization and a contractor or potential contractor;

•business ethics and public integrity obligations, which govern conflicts of interest and the hiring of former government employees, restrict the granting of gratuities and funding of lobbying activities and incorporate other requirements such as the Anti-Kickback Act, the Procurement Integrity Act, the False Claims Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

•export and import control laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Export Administration Regulations and International Traffic in Arms Regulations; and

•laws, regulations and executive orders restricting the use and dissemination of information classified for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data.

USG agencies routinely audit and investigate government contractors for compliance with applicable laws and standards. Our role and status as a large government supplier to HHS, particularly BARDA increases the likelihood of Congressional review and oversight. The legal framework we are subject to as a government contractor imposes stricter penalties than those normally applicable to commercial contracts, such as criminal and civil liability and suspension and debarment from future government contracting. In addition, pursuant to various laws, our government contracts can be subject to unilateral termination or modification by the government for convenience, detailed auditing and accounting systems requirements, statutorily controlled pricing, sourcing and subcontracting restrictions and statutorily mandated processes for adjudicating contract disputes.

The Project BioShield Act of 2004. The Project BioShield Act of 2004 (Project BioShield) was enacted to augment market incentives for companies pursuing the development of MCMs of which the government is the only significant market. Project BioShield provided $5.6 billion over 10 years to develop, purchase, and stockpile MCMs for use in a public health emergency against CBRNE agents.

The Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 and Reauthorization Acts. The Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 established the role of ASPR within HHS and provided statutory authorities for a number of programs, including the creation of BARDA to support the development and procurement of MCMs to respond to CBRNE. The Pandemic All Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 ("PAHPRA") continued BARDA’s role and reauthorized Project BioShield funding through fiscal year 2018 and provided BARDA with additional appropriations to support advanced research and development. The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019 reauthorized Project BioShield’s special reserve fund and authorized 10-year funding for product development. BARDA has used the incentives under Project BioShield and subsequent reauthorizations of it to build a robust pipeline of MCMs for multiple CBRNE agents. It has also procured and stockpiled many of our related products for potential use in the event of a PHT emergency, including BioThrax®, ACAM2000®, Anthrasil®, BAT®, VIGIV CNJ-016® and raxibacumab products.

Funding for BARDA is provided by annual appropriations by Congress. Congress appropriates annual funding for procurement of MCMs for the SNS (currently managed by ASPR) and for the NIAID to conduct biodefense research. This appropriation funding supplements amounts available under Project BioShield.

Emergency Use Authorization

Section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act ("FDCA") authorizes FDA to issue an Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") to permit the introduction into interstate commerce of unapproved MCMs, or approved MCMs for unapproved uses, in the context of certain potential or actual public health emergencies. Several actions are required to trigger FDA’s authority to issue EUAs. First, there must be a determination by certain federal officials that a particular threat or emergency exists. This can be (1) a determination by the Secretary of HHS that there is a public health emergency, or a significant potential for a public health emergency, that affects, or has a significant potential to affect, national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, and that involves CBRN agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to CBRN agents; (2) a determination by the Secretary of Homeland Security (“DHS”) that there is a domestic emergency, or a significant potential for a domestic emergency, involving a heightened risk of attack with a CBRN agent; (3) a determination by the Secretary of Defense that there is a military emergency, or a significant potential for a military emergency, involving a heightened risk to United States military forces from an attack with a CBRN agent or an agent that may cause, or is otherwise associated with, an imminently life-threatening and specific risk to United States military forces; or (4) the identification of a material threat pursuant to section 319F–2 of the Public Health Service Act (“PHSA”) sufficient to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad. Based on one of these determinations, the Secretary of HHS may make a declaration (the EUA Declaration) that circumstances exist justifying EUAs for MCMs to respond to the threat or emergency at issue. Once the relevant determination and EUA declaration are issued, FDA has the authority to issue EUAs for the use of specific medical products based on criteria established by statute, including that the product at issue may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or preventing a serious or life-threatening disease or condition related to the threat or emergency and that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives to the product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating the disease or condition. EUAs are subject to additional conditions and restrictions, are product-specific, and terminate when the EUA is revoked or the EUA declaration is terminated because the Secretary of HHS has determined that the circumstances that led to the emergency determination have ceased or because the authorized use has been approved.

Under PAHPRA, the USG may purchase certain MCMs for the SNS prior to FDA approval, licensure or authorization, under certain circumstances. BARDA is currently procuring CYFENDUS®(Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed (AVA), Adjuvanted).

Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act ("PREP Act") creates certain liability protections for manufacturers of MCMs when the Secretary of HHS issues a declaration related to a specific disease, condition or public health threat. The PREP Act is intended to provide liability immunity from claims under federal or state law for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration or use of a covered MCM. The scope of protection will be defined by the specific PREP Act declaration. The only statutory exception to the immunity granted by the PREP Act is for actions or failures to act that constitute willful misconduct. The Secretary of HHS has issued PREP Act declarations covering MCMs for smallpox, mpox, and other orthopox; anthrax; and botulinum toxin, among other pathogens. These declarations could apply to ACAM2000®, Anthrasil®, BAT®, BioThrax®, CYFENDUS®, raxibacumab and VIGIV CNJ-016® products, as covered MCMs. The declarations for anthrax and botulism expire on December 31, 2027. The declaration for smallpox, mpox, and other orthopox expires on December 31, 2032.

Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act of 2002. The Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (“SAFETY Act”) was enacted to create certain liability limitations for Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies (“QATTs”) for claims arising out of, related to, or resulting from an act of terrorism. DHS administers the SAFETY Act program, which provides two potential categories of liability protections – designation and certification. If DHS deems an MCM a “Designated Technology,” then the company’s liability is limited to the amount of liability insurance that DHS determines the company must maintain. To receive “certification,” a QATT must first be “designated” and also be shown to perform as intended, conform to the manufacturer’s specifications, and be safe for use as intended. Certification allows the company to assert the Government Contractor defense for claims arising from acts of terrorism.

DHS granted SAFETY Act designation and certification for BioThrax® in 2006 and has continued to renew those determinations. Any future renewals of the SAFETY Act designation and certification for BioThrax® products may not provide adequate protection from all claims made against us.

Product Development for Therapeutics and Vaccines

Pre-Clinical Testing. We generally perform pre-clinical safety and efficacy testing on our product candidates before we initiate clinical trials.

Animal Rule. Conducting controlled human clinical trials to determine efficacy of MCMs against dangerous pathogens may sometimes be unethical or unfeasible. In such circumstances, products may be approved under the FDA’s “Animal Rule.” According to the FDA, this regulatory pathway can only be pursued if conducting human efficacy studies would be unethical and field trials to study the product’s effectiveness, after an accidental or deliberate exposure, are not feasible. Under the “Animal Rule,” under some circumstances, approval of product candidates can be based on efficacy data from animal studies. In assessing the sufficiency of animal data, the FDA may take into account other available data, including human data. These approvals generally are associated with a requirement for post-approval trials that would be conducted in the event of an act of bioterrorism, a pandemic, or other natural exposure to the pathogen at issue.

Investigational New Drug Application. Before clinical testing may begin, the results of pre-clinical testing and other available clinical data and manufacturing information must be submitted to the FDA as part of an Investigational New Drug application ("IND"). The data must provide an adequate basis for evaluating both the safety and the scientific rationale for the initial clinical studies. The FDA may impose a full or partial clinical hold on the effectiveness of an IND pending receipt of additional information.

Clinical Trials. Clinical trials involve administration of a product candidate to healthy human volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified physician under a regulatory agency approved protocol for the country in which the human trial is to be conducted. Human clinical trials typically are conducted in the following three sequential phases.

▪Phase 1 studies involve introduction of the drug into human subjects (usually healthy, but in some circumstances may include patients) to assess safety, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological actions, side effects and early evidence of effectiveness.

▪Phase 2 involves studies to assess the efficacy of the drug in specific, targeted indications to explore preliminary efficacy, tolerance, optimal dosage, and safety.

▪Phase 3 involves pivotal trials to assess clinical efficacy and safety in a larger number of healthy subjects or patients. These trials are intended to permit the FDA to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the product, and provide adequate information for approval and drug labeling.

In addition, in certain circumstances Phase 4 studies may be conducted following marketing approval in order to provide additional data related to drug use. The FDA may impose a temporary or permanent clinical hold, or other sanctions, if it believes that a clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with the FDA requirements or presents an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial subjects.

Good Clinical Practice and International Conference on Harmonization ("ICH") Guidelines. All phases of clinical studies must be conducted in conformance with the FDA’s bioresearch monitoring regulations and Good Clinical Practices ("GCP"), which include applicable ICH Guidelines and are collectively ethical and scientific quality standards for the conduct and reporting of clinical trials in human subjects.

Marketing Approval – Biologics, Drugs and Vaccines

Biologics License Application ("BLA")/New Drug Application ("NDA"). For large molecule products, such as vaccines, products derived from blood and blood components, and antibodies, all data obtained from a development program, including research and product development, manufacturing, pre-clinical and clinical trials, labeling and related information are submitted in a BLA to the FDA and in similar regulatory filings with the corresponding agencies in other countries for review and approval. For small molecule drugs, this information is submitted in an NDA filing. The submission of an application, either a BLA or an NDA, is not a guarantee that the FDA will find the application complete and accept it for filing. The FDA may issue a refuse to file, or RTF, letter to the applicant and request additional information, in which case the application must be resubmitted. Most applications are subject to a substantial application fee and each approved product will be assessed an annual fee. Under the FDCA, the FDA has the authority to grant waivers of certain user fees.

In reviewing a BLA or NDA, the FDA may grant approval, request more information or data, or decline to approve the application if, among other potential deficiencies, the FDA determines that the application does not provide substantial evidence of effectiveness, the drug is not safe for use under the conditions of use in the proposed labeling, or there are deficiencies in manufacturing quality. If the FDA decides not to approve an application, it will issue a complete response letter, or CRL. During the FDA's review of the application, the FDA will also typically inspect one or more clinical sites to ensure compliance with GCPs as well as the facility or facilities at which the candidate is manufactured to ensure compliance with current good manufacturing practices ("CGMPs").

The receipt of regulatory approval may take many years, and typically involves the expenditure of substantial financial resources. The FDA may also impose conditions upon approval or significantly limit the indications approved for a given product and/or require, as a condition of approval, enhanced labeling, packaging, post-approval clinical trials, expedited reporting of certain adverse events, pre-approval of promotional materials or restrictions on consumer advertising, which could negatively impact the commercial success of a product.

Abbreviated New Drug Applications Under Section 505(j) and Section 505(b)(2) New Drug Applications. Most drug products obtain FDA marketing approval under a full NDA for innovator products, or an abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA") for generic products. The Hatch-Waxman amendments to the FDCA established a statutory procedure for submission and FDA review and approval of ANDAs for generic versions of branded drugs previously approved by the FDA (reference listed drugs, or RLDs). Because the safety and efficacy of RLDs have already been established by the brand company (sometimes referred to as the innovator), the FDA does not generally require ANDA applicants to provide preclinical and full clinical data to establish safety and effectiveness. However, a generic manufacturer is required to demonstrate bioequivalence (i.e., it provides the equivalent rate and extent of absorption as the innovator product) and meet other requirements (including that the generic product provides the same active ingredient in the same dose and dosage form via the same route of administration).

A third alternative for approval of a drug product is commonly referred to as a Section 505(b)(2) NDA, which enables the applicant to rely, in part, on the FDA’s findings of safety and efficacy of an existing product in support of its application. Section 505(b)(2) NDAs often provide an alternate path to FDA approval for new or improved formulations, new strengths, new routes of administration or new uses of previously approved products. Section 505(b)(2) permits the filing of an NDA where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference. The applicant might rely upon the FDA’s findings with respect to certain pre-clinical or clinical studies conducted for an approved product. The FDA may also require companies to perform additional studies or submit other information to support the change from the approved product. The FDA may then approve the new product candidate for certain indications for which the referenced product has been approved, as well as for any new indication sought by the applicant.

In seeking approval for a drug through an NDA, including a 505(b)(2) NDA, applicants are required to submit to the FDA information about certain patents of the applicant or that are held by third parties whose claims cover the applicant’s product. Upon approval of an NDA, each of the patents for which the applicant has submitted information in connection with the NDA is then published in the Orange Book. Any subsequent applicant who files an ANDA or a 505(b)(2) NDA must make one of the following certifications to the FDA concerning each patent for which the RLD sponsor was required to submit information in connection with the RLD: (1) the patent information has not been submitted to the FDA; (2) the patent has expired; (3) the date on which the patent will expire; or (4) the patent is invalid, unenforceable, or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or sale of the drug product for which the application is submitted. This last certification is known as a paragraph IV certification. Alternatively, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) NDA applicant may submit a statement that there are no relevant patents or that a method-of-use patent does not claim a proposed indication or other condition of use for which the applicant is seeking approval.

If the RLD’s NDA holder or patent owner initiates patent litigation to enforce an Orange Book-listed patent within 45 days after receiving notice of a paragraph IV certification, the FDA generally is prohibited from approving the application until 30 months from the date of receipt of the paragraph IV notice, although this stay may terminate earlier depending upon the resolution of the litigation, if the court issues an order terminating the stay, or if the patent owner or exclusive patent licensee consents to approval of the application before the expiration of the stay. The ANDA or 505(b)(2) application also will not be approved until any applicable non-patent exclusivity listed in the Orange Book for the RLD has expired.

Biosimilar Products. When a biological product is licensed for marketing by FDA through the approval of a BLA under section 351(a) of the PHSA, the product may be entitled to exclusivity barring FDA from accepting or approving an application under section 351(k) of the PHSA for a competing product for certain periods of time. The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (the "BPCIA") added Section 351(k) of the PHSA, which provides an abbreviated approval pathway for biological products that are biosimilar to or interchangeable with an FDA-licensed reference product. The FDA may approve a biosimilar product if it finds that the product is highly similar to the reference product notwithstanding minor differences in clinically inactive components and there are no clinically meaningful differences between the proposed biosimilar product and the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency. For the FDA to approve an interchangeable biosimilar product, it must conclude that the product is biosimilar to the reference product, can be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient, and—for a product that is administered more than once to an individual—alternating or switching between the proposed interchangeable product and the reference product would not create an increased risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy compared to using the reference product only.

FDA will not accept a biosimilar application until four years after the date of first licensure of a biological product licensed under section 351(a) of the PHSA, and FDA will not approve a biosimilar application until 12 years after such date of first licensure. This type of exclusivity is known as reference product exclusivity. The approval of a supplemental BLA or certain subsequent BLAs does not give rise to a new date of first licensure, and, consequently, does not yield an additional period of reference product exclusivity. Moreover, reference product exclusivity does not affect the timing of FDA’s acceptance or approval of a competing sponsor’s section 351(a) BLA containing the sponsor’s own pre-clinical data and data from adequate and well‑controlled clinical trials to demonstrate the safety, purity, and potency of its product. There have been recent legislative proposals to reduce the duration of the 12-year reference product exclusivity period, but none has been enacted to date. Moreover, many states have enacted laws that address pharmacy substitution practices involving biosimilar products.

Post-Approval Requirements. Any drug, biologic or medical device product for which we receive FDA marketing authorization will be subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other things, record keeping requirements, reporting of adverse events, providing FDA with updated safety and efficacy information, product sampling and distribution requirements (for drugs and biologics), restrictions on advertising and promotion, and FDA inspections. Adverse events that are reported after marketing approval can result in additional limitations being placed on the product’s distribution or use and, potentially, withdrawal or suspension of the product from the market. The FDA may also require post-approval clinical trials and/or safety labeling changes.

Facilities involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved products are required to be registered with the FDA and certain state agencies and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA for compliance with CGMP and other laws.

A company that is found to have improperly promoted unapproved or off-label uses or otherwise not to have met applicable promotion rules may be subject to significant liability under both the FDCA and other statutes, including the False Claims Act.

Orphan Drugs. Under the Orphan Drug Act, an applicant can request the FDA to designate a product as an “orphan drug" in the U.S. if the drug is intended to treat a rare disease or condition. A disease or condition is considered rare if it affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. or there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing the drug and making it available in the United States will be recovered from sales in the United States. A manufacturer must request orphan drug designation prior to submitting a BLA or NDA. Products designated as orphan drugs may be eligible for special grant funding for R&D, FDA assistance with the review of clinical trial protocols, potential tax credits for research, an exemption from the application fee for marketing applications and potentially a seven-year period of orphan drug exclusivity after marketing approval. A grant of an orphan designation is not a guarantee that a product will be approved.

Orphan drug exclusivity (afforded to the first applicant to receive approval for an orphan designated drug for a particular rare disease or condition) generally prevents FDA approval of another sponsor’s application for the same drug for the same indication for seven years after approval of the product that received such exclusivity. Orphan drug exclusivity will not bar approval of the same drug marketed by a different manufacturer under certain circumstances, including if the company with orphan drug exclusivity is not able to meet market demand, grants consent to the FDA’s approval of the subsequent product or the subsequent product is shown to be clinically superior to the approved product on the basis of greater efficacy or safety, or providing a major contribution to patient care.

After an appellate court decision issued in 2021 called into question the continued validity of FDA's approach to determining the scope of orphan-drug exclusivity, the FDA announced in January 2023 that it would continue to apply the FDA’s regulations limiting the scope of orphan drug exclusivity to a product’s approved uses or indications. As a result of the FDA’s announcement, the scope of orphan drug exclusivity and other issues relating to the FDA’s implementation of the Orphan Drug Act with respect to previously approved and future products may be the subject of litigation or legislation.

Vaccine and Therapeutic Product Lot Protocol. Because the manufacturing process for biological products is complex, the FDA requires for many biologics, including most vaccines and immune globulin products, that each product lot undergo thorough testing for purity, potency, identity and sterility. FDA may request samples of any lot and, when deemed necessary for the safety, purity, and potency of the product, FDA may prohibit us from distributing a lot until FDA releases the lot. Several of our vaccines are subject to lot release protocols by the FDA and other regulatory agencies.

Marketing Approval – Devices

Devices may be marketed as stand-alone devices or as constituent parts of a Combination Product, such as a device for delivery of a drug product. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, approval of a premarket approval application (“PMA”) or issuance of a de novo classification order.

Medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II or Class III—depending on the degree of risk and the level of control necessary to assure the safety and effectiveness of each medical device. Medical devices deemed to pose lower risks are generally placed in either Class I or II. While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a pre-market notification. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining life-supporting or many implantable devices, or devices that have been found not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed Class I or Class II predicate device, are placed in Class III, requiring approval of a PMA.

All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s investigational device exemption (“IDE”) regulations that govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify an array of study review and approval, informed consent, recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. All clinical device studies, including non-significant risk studies, must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”). The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the study and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study.

Both before and after a medical device is commercially distributed, manufacturers and marketers of the device have ongoing responsibilities under FDA regulations, including, for example, establishment registration and device listing; compliance with the requirements of the Quality System Regulation (“QSR”); compliance with requirements regarding the labeling and marketing of devices; medical device reporting regulations; correction and removal reporting regulations; compliance with requirements for Unique Device Identification (“UDI”); and post-market surveillance activities and requirements. In January 2024, the FDA issued a final rule amending the QSR to align more closely with the international consensus standard for Quality Management Systems for medical devices used by many other regulatory authorities around the world, ISO 13485:2016. The revised regulation is referred to as the Quality Management System Regulation ("QMSR") and becomes effective on January 2, 2026.

Device manufacturers are subject to periodic and unannounced inspection by the FDA. The FDA reviews design and manufacturing practices, record keeping, reports of adverse events, labeling and other information to ensure compliance with the QSR and other applicable requirements, and to identify potential problems with manufacturing processes and marketed medical devices.

A combination product is a product comprised of two or more regulated components (e.g., a drug and device) that are combined into a single product, co-packaged, or sold separately but intended for co-administration, as evidenced by the labeling for the products (cross-labeling). Like their constituent parts—e.g., drugs and devices—combination products are highly regulated and subject to a broad range of pre- and post-market requirements including premarket review, CGMPs and/or QSRs, adverse event reporting, periodic reports, labeling and advertising and promotion requirements and restrictions, market withdrawal and recall. When issuing the QMSR, the FDA made conforming edits to the combination product regulation to clarify the device Quality Management System ("QMS") requirements for combination products. Combination products are typically reviewed through a marketing submission that corresponds to the constituent part which provides the primary mode of action (“PMOA”) for the combination product. For example, if the PMOA of a device-biologic combination product is attributable to the biologic, the agency center that reviews biologics would have the primary jurisdiction for the review.

The FDA also regulates the export of medical devices from the U.S., and medical devices that are not authorized to be legally marketed in the U.S. are subject to FDA export requirements.

Manufacturing Requirements

The FDA's statutory provisions and regulations require that drugs be manufactured in FDA-registered facilities and in accordance with CGMPs. The CGMP regulations include requirements relating to organization and personnel, buildings and facilities, equipment, control of components and product containers and closures, production and process controls, packaging and labeling controls, holding and distribution, laboratory controls, records and reports, and returned and salvaged products. These processes must be performed in compliance with the applicable portions of the QSR, which covers the methods and the facilities and controls for the manufacture, testing, production, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. Manufacturers and other entities involved in the manufacture and distribution of cleared, approved, or otherwise authorized products are required to register their establishments with the FDA, and in some instances state agencies, and they are subject to periodic unannounced or announced inspections by the FDA for compliance with CGMPs and/or QSRs and other requirements.

The FDA uses a "risk-based approach" to inspections, whereby the agency prioritizes medical product surveillance inspections deemed high risk based on a variety of specific criteria, such as facility type, compliance history, and inherent risks of product manufactured at the facility. Manufacturers may also have to provide, on request, electronic or physical records regarding their establishments. Delaying, denying, limiting, or refusing inspection by the FDA may lead to a product being deemed to be adulterated. Changes to the manufacturing process, specifications or container closure system for an approved drug product are strictly regulated and often require prior FDA approval before being implemented. The FDA's regulations also require, among other things, the investigation and correction of any deviations from CGMP or failures to follow the QSR and the maintenance of applicable documentation by the sponsor and any third-party manufacturers involved in producing the approved, cleared, or otherwise authorized product.

Regulation Outside of the U.S.

Currently, we maintain a commercial presence in the U.S. and Canada as well as certain other countries. Each foreign country has its own regulatory requirements for medicines and medical devices. In the EU, medicinal products are authorized following a process that is similarly demanding as the process required in the U.S. Drug products may be authorized in one of two ways, either through the mutual recognition/decentralized procedure, which provides for the mutual recognition procedure of national approval decisions by the competent authorities of the EU Member States or through the centralized procedure, which provides for the grant of a single marketing authorization that is valid for all EU member states. Before a new medical device can be placed on the market in the EU compliance with the requirements of the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 must be demonstrated in order to affix the CE Mark to the product. The method of assessing conformity varies depending on the class of the product, but normally involves a combination of self-assessment by the manufacturer and a third-party assessment by a notified body. We are also subject to many of the same continuing post-approval requirements in the EU as we are in the U.S. (e.g., good manufacturing practices).

As of January 1, 2021, the UK is no longer part of the EU, following its withdrawal in “Brexit.” At the time of withdrawal, all existing EU law in force as of December 31, 2020, was incorporated into UK domestic law, subject to modifications necessary due to Brexit. As a result, UK and EU regulatory requirements initially remained aligned; however, subsequent regulatory divergence has occurred and is expected to continue.

Until recently, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (the “MHRA”) served as the regulatory authority overseeing medicines and medical devices in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales), while Northern Ireland remained subject to EU regulations under the Windsor Framework, which replaced the previous Northern Ireland Protocol in February 2023. As of January 1, 2025, the MHRA assumed full regulatory oversight for all medicinal products in the UK, including Northern Ireland, and the European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”) no longer has a role in approving products for the Northern Ireland market.

Additionally, an International Recognition Procedure (the “IRP”) took effect on January 1, 2024, designed to facilitate marketing authorizations in the UK for products already approved by a recognized regulatory authority. The IRP applies to products authorized by the EMA (for EU centralized approvals), national regulators in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), and the FDA, among others. However, reliance-based or recognition-based regulatory decisions are not eligible under this procedure.

Potential Sanctions

For all FDA-regulated products, if the FDA finds that a manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or that a product is ineffective or poses an unreasonable health risk, it can institute or seek a wide variety of enforcement actions and remedies, including but not limited to:

•restrictions on products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;

•restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;

•restrictions on distribution or use of a product;

•requirements to conduct post-marketing studies or clinical trials;

•warning letters or untitled letters;

•withdrawal of the products from the market;

•refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that are submitted;

•recall of products;

•fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenues;

•suspension or withdrawal of marketing approvals;

•refusal to permit the import or export of our products;

•product seizure; and

Health regulatory authorities in other countries have similar rules and regulations although the specifics vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Fraud, Abuse and Anti-Corruption Laws

The U.S. and most other jurisdictions have detailed requirements that apply to government and private health care programs, and a broad range of fraud and abuse laws, transparency laws, and other laws. Relevant U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations include:

•The federal Anti-Kickback Statute;

•The False Claims Act;

•The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health ("HITECH") Act;

•The price reporting requirements under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program and the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992;

•The federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act, being implemented as the Open Payments Program; and

•Analogous and similar state laws and regulations.

Our operations are also subject to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") which prohibits corporations and individuals from corruptly paying, offering to pay, or authorizing the payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party or party official, or political candidate, directly or indirectly, in an attempt to influence a person working in an official capacity or otherwise obtain an improper advantage. We also may be impacted under the FCPA by the activities of our distributors, collaborators, contract research organizations, vendors, consultants, agents, or other business partners. As a public company, the FCPA also requires us to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect all of our transactions and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Our operations are also subject to compliance with the U.K. Bribery Act, which applies to bribery activities both in the public and private sector, Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and similar laws in other countries.

We have a global corporate compliance program designed to identify, prevent, and mitigate healthcare fraud and abuse risk through, among other things, policies, systems and promoting a culture of compliance. Our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to criminal or civil penalties.

Regulations Governing Reimbursement

The marketing practices of U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers are also subject to federal and state healthcare laws related to government funded healthcare programs.

In the U.S., certain of our products are reimbursed under federal and state health care programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, and/or state pharmaceutical assistance programs. Many foreign countries have similar laws.

Various U.S. federal health care laws apply when we or customers submit claims for items or services that are reimbursed under federally funded health care programs, including federal and state anti-kickback laws, false claims laws, and anti-self-referral laws, which may apply to federal and state-funded health care programs and private third-party payers.

Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to criminal or civil penalties.

Additionally, drug pricing is an active area for regulatory reform at the federal and state levels, and significant changes to current drug pricing and reimbursement structures in the U.S. continue to be considered and enacted. For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), among other provisions, gives HHS the ability and authority to directly negotiate with manufacturers the price that Medicare will pay for certain single-source drugs that account for high Medicare spending. The IRA will also require manufacturers of certain Part B and Part D drugs to pay to HHS rebates based on certain calculations and triggers (i.e., when drug prices increase and outpace the rate of inflation). The Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program may affect future Medicare reimbursement for certain of our products.

Data Privacy Laws

A number of states in the U.S. have passed or introduced bills, which, if passed, impose operational privacy requirements on U.S. companies similar to the requirements reflected in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") in the EU ("State Consumer Privacy Laws"). As of December 31, 2024, State Consumer Privacy Laws were effective in eight U.S. states. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), which came into effect on January 1, 2020, requires covered companies that process personal information on California residents to make new disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, allows consumers to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties and provides a new private right of action for data breaches. Certain states, such as Nevada and Washington, have recently enacted consumer health data laws for the protection of consumers' personal health data by outlining broad definitions of consumer health data, a range of consumer rights and valid consent and other compliance requirements. Although similar to state consumer privacy laws, these consumer health data laws impose restrictions and obligations beyond state consumer privacy laws. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. The compliance and other burdens imposed by the EU's GDPR, CCPA and similar privacy laws and regulations may be substantial as they are subject to differing interpretations and implementation among jurisdictions. The restrictions imposed by such laws may require us to modify our data handling practices and impose additional compliance costs and burdens.

Other Industry Regulation

Our present and future business has been and will continue to be subject to various other laws and regulations. Various laws, regulations and recommendations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory practices, the experimental use of animals, and the purchase, storage, movement, import, export, use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents used in connection with our product development, are or may be applicable to our activities.

HUMAN CAPITAL

We value our employees and the contributions each of them makes to achieving our mission to protect and save lives. We strive to create an environment that is professionally and personally rewarding by offering challenging work and projects for individual and team contribution, and opportunities for professional and personal development. Our commitment to attracting, developing, and retaining talented employees helps us to fuel our business growth, drive innovation in the products and services we develop, and inform the way we solve problems and how we serve the needs of a global and diverse patient, customer and partner base. We believe that our investments in employee engagement and leadership development are essential to building the capabilities needed to realize our business strategy.

As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 900 employees globally. During 2024, our number of employees declined by approximately 700 due to the organizational restructurings announced in May and August 2024, the sale of our Hattiesburg facility in July 2024, and the sale of our Camden Manufacturing facility to Bora in August 2024. For employees who were impacted by organizational restructuring, the Company provided transition services, severance and employee benefits.

We focus on building leaders at every level with the requisite scientific, technical and professional skills to develop and deliver products and services that protect life. We have consistent talent processes and systems across the company including performance management, training and development and succession planning. We recognize the need for ongoing skill enhancement and support continued learning through on-the-job assignments, leadership and technical training programs, tuition assistance professional memberships and professional conference attendance. We continue to use the Gallup Q12 employee engagement survey and administer “pulse surveys” throughout the year to gather feedback on matters of interest and importance to our employees and our business.

Our total rewards plan consists of comprehensive benefits and salaries, bonuses, and for employees in eligible roles, equity awards. We continue to provide employees access to country-specific salary range information so that they may have greater visibility to their current compensation levels and more context as they explore developing their careers within our company.

In addition, we are deeply committed to the health and well-being of our employees. We provide a comprehensive range of benefits and resources to support their physical, mental, and financial wellness. Additionally, our safety programs comply with regional requirements and are designed to ensure a safe and comfortable work environment, including a strong culture of safety in our day-to-day operations.

SUSTAINABILITY AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Our mission to protect and save lives has motivated us to explore our impact at a broader scale. Our approach to these issues is the foundation of good governance and strengthens accountability in all aspects of our business activities and relationships. In 2024, our EVP, Chief Quality and Compliance Officer joined the Chief Financial Officer as co-executive sponsor of our sustainability and corporate responsibility initiatives, further weaving corporate responsibility efforts into business operations. We also updated several policies, including our Combating Trafficking in Persons Standard and U.S. Government Contracting Policy as well as implemented a Supplier Code of Conduct, and will continue making similar improvements to support our responsible growth and to align with stakeholder expectations.

Along with continued work on a multi-year strategy that supports company objectives, we invested additional resources in assessing and preparing for emerging sustainability regulations in the U.S. and globally. We will continue to monitor and prepare for disclosure requirements. Our approach is influenced by the framework developed by the Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures as well as the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board’s standards focused on the healthcare, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. The SASB standards provide guidelines on key sustainability issues that directly impact the operational performance and financial condition of our company.

Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Management

We recognize that our operations have an impact on both local and global communities from the energy we source, the waste we generate, and the water we discharge. When improving and innovating our operational infrastructure across our enterprise, we give due consideration to the extent to which they may adversely threaten the environment and human health.

We gather data associated with our material operations as a critical step to prioritize future footprint reductions and to be prepared for potential reporting requirements. This data is used to calculate our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and we are continually expanding our data collection efforts to garner the most comprehensive view of our environmental impacts. This allows us to make informed decisions regarding potential goals, which could include setting science-based targets and creating an accompanying roadmap for enterprise environmental goals. We will continue to monitor to determine the relevant future disclosures, if any, necessary to provide transparency surrounding possible financial impacts to our company through sound governance, strategy, risk management, and performance monitoring.
