We cannot be sure whether additional legislation related to the IRA will be issued or enacted, or what impact, if any, such changes will have on the profitability of any of our drug candidates, if approved for commercial use, in the future. There also may be future changes unrelated to the IRA that result in reductions in potential coverage and reimbursement levels for our product candidates, if approved and commercialized, and we cannot predict the scope of any future changes or the impact that those changes would have on our operations.

U.S. federal or state legislation or regulatory action and/or policy efforts affecting, among other things, pharmaceutical product pricing, including international reference pricing (including Most-Favored-Nation drug pricing), intellectual property, product approval processes and pathways, reimbursement or access to or recommendations for our medicines and vaccines, tax changes or other restrictions on U.S. direct-to-consumer advertising; limitations on interactions with healthcare professionals and other industry stakeholders; as well as pricing pressures for our products as a result of highly competitive biopharmaceutical markets;

These actions, presently directed by executive orders, memoranda or proposed rules from the Office of Management and Budget, may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for our business. For example, the current administration has announced agreements with several pharmaceutical companies that require the drug manufacturers to offer Most-Favored Nation pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations for certain prescription drugs under Medicaid and for certain newly launched products across all market channels in the U.S., with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts through a direct to consumer platform, or TrumpRx, and repatriation of certain foreign revenues. In late 2025, HHS proposed three payment models that would test MFN pricing in Medicaid, Medicare Part D, and Medicare Part B. On November 6, 2025, CMS announced the “GENErating cost Reductions fOr U.S.”, or GENEROUS, model under which manufacturers can provide MFN pricing to state Medicaid agencies on a voluntary basis. On December 19, 2025, CMS published proposed rules for two mandatory drug pricing models for Medicare: the “GlobalBenchmark for Efficient Drug Pricing”, or GLOBE, model for products payable under Medicare Part B and the “GuardingU.S. Medicare Against Rising Drug Costs”, or GUARD, model for products covered under Medicare Part D. If GLOBE and GUARD are finalized, pharmaceutical manufacturers would be required to pay MFN-based rebates on eligible products for 25% of eligible Medicare beneficiaries during the applicable testing period.

For instance, recently, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IRA, which included several measures intended to lower the cost of prescription drugs and limit out-of-pocket spending, including by requiring drug manufacturers to pay rebates to Medicare if they increase prices faster than inflation for drugs used by Medicare beneficiaries.

On September 13, 2020, President Trump issued an executive order directing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to pursue implementation of two new payment models under which Medicare would test whether paying no more than the “most-favored-nation” price for certain included drugs and biological products covered under Part B and Part D, respectively, would mitigate poor clinical outcomes and increased Medicare expenditures associated with high drug costs. If this executive order is implemented, the “most-favored-nation” price would generally reflect the lowest price, after certain adjustments, for a pharmaceutical product sold in an economically comparable member country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

The current administration is pursuing policies to reduce regulations and expenditures across government agencies including at HHS, the FDA, CMS and related agencies. These actions, presently directed by executive orders or memoranda from the Office of Management and Budget, may propose policy changes that create additional uncertainty for our business. For example, the current administration has announced agreements with several pharmaceutical companies that require the drug manufacturers to offer, through a direct to consumer platform, U.S. patients and Medicaid programs prescription drug Most-Favored Nation pricing equal to or lower than those paid in other developed nations, with additional mandates for direct-to-patient discounts and repatriation of foreign revenues.
