Annual Report

2021 Achievements 

More than 
130 million 
dose equivalents of 
Covid-19 vaccine

Record-high  
revenues of nearly  
$1.8 billion 

First Environmental, Social 
and Governance report

Strategically 
reorganized operating 
model

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

For more than 23 years, Emergent has taken on public health challenges, and 2021 was no 
exception. True to our mission to protect and enhance life, our team delivered hundreds of 
millions of doses of vaccines and medical countermeasures, helping keep people safe from 
Covid-19 and other dangerous diseases like smallpox, anthrax and botulism.

Emergent has also answered the call to help address the opioid epidemic ravaging North 
America. In 2021, we supplied more than 10 million doses of NARCAN Nasal Spray, while at 
the same time maintaining our commitment to access and affordability, as well as increasing 
awareness of the need for opioid overdose preparedness among those at risk.

We also took the opportunity to reorganize our operating structure to focus on customers 
and markets, resulting in the creation of three business lines: Medical Countermeasures, 
Commercial, and CDMO services. And we aligned our R&D function to enhance the delivery 
of our pipeline, which includes the initiation of a rolling BLA submission for our next 
generation anthrax vaccine to the FDA and the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for our single-dose 
Chikungunya virus VLP vaccine candidate.

Our team delivered for our patients and customers in 2021, helping improve the lives of 
hundreds of millions of people around the world and driving record revenue of nearly $1.8 
billion last year for Emergent.

To be sure, not everything in 2021 went exactly as planned. We have learned valuable lessons 
from our work during the pandemic response and our long-term relationship supporting U.S. 
government public health preparedness. We are acting on these lessons to further improve 
and strengthen Emergent and look forward to sharing them as governments and public health 
experts prepare for future emergencies.

Emergent’s performance and resilience during the past year is a testament to our strategic 
focus and highly capable team. Looking forward, I am encouraged by the stability and durability

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

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 CDMO services portfolio. The types of PHTs we are
currently addressing are focused on the following five categories:

‰
‰
‰
‰
‰

chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE);
emerging infectious diseases (EID);
travel health;
public health crises (such as the opioid crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic); 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 CDMO services to external customers, and the securing of non-
dilutive contract and grant funding for research and development (R&D) projects by us from various third-party
sources.

OUR BUSINESS LINES

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our operating structure such that we now operate under three

separate business lines, each focused on distinct customer or market types. These three business lines are:

‰
‰
‰

the Government - Medical Countermeasures (MCM) business line;
the Commercial business line; and
the Services - CDMO business line.

In connection with the reorganization, we also centralized our R&D organization and established an

enterprise-wide governance approach to managing our portfolio of R&D projects.

Government - MCM Business Line

Our Government - MCM business line focuses primarily on procurement of MCM products and procured
product candidates by domestic and international government customers, with an emphasis on the USG, who is
our largest customer. We also sell MCM products and procured product candidates to domestic and international
non-government organizations and governments outside of the United States.

Commercial Business Line

Our Commercial business line primarily focuses on sales of NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray and

our travelers’ vaccines. NARCAN® is sold commercially through physician-directed or standing order
prescriptions at retail pharmacies and to state and local governments and first responders including police,
firefighters and emergency medical teams. Our travelers’ vaccines include Vaxchora® and Vivotif®, which are
approved for use in the United States and other territories, and are sold primarily to private travel clinics, retail
pharmacies and integrated hospital networks.

Services - CDMO Business Line

Our portfolio of CDMO services consists of three distinct but interrelated service pillars: development
services (process and analytical development); drug substance manufacturing; and drug product manufacturing
(fill/finish). These services, which we collectively refer to as a “molecule-to-market” offering, employ diverse

3

technology platforms (mammalian, microbial, viral and plasma) across a network of development and
manufacturing sites operated by us. These CDMO services support all phases of the drug development life cycle,
from pre-clinical development programs through commercial manufacturing of approved pharmaceutical
products. The customer base for CDMO services is primarily innovators in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical
segments, but also includes government-sponsored entities as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

OUR STRATEGY

Our ongoing five-year strategic plan, 2020-2024, is focused on leveraging core competencies, relationships
and operating systems we have developed over the last 23 years and driving growth across various segments of
the PHT market. The strategic plan specifies employing five core strategies. They are:

Execute Core Business — We are focused on continuing to build our leadership positions across several

markets in the PHT space. These include, but are not limited to, MCMs, opioid rescue and travel health.
Additionally, our Core Business includes our growing CDMO services. We believe our diversified portfolio of
products and services, combined with our quality development and manufacturing services across a spectrum of
differentiated and complex manufacturing processes position us for continued growth across the PHT landscape.
Additionally, we will continue to leverage our specialized government relations and contracting operations to
negotiate long-term, profitable procurement and development agreements that enable us to protect and enhance
lives around the world and that help ensure sustainability of our business.

Grow Through Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) — We have successfully executed and integrated several

product and facility acquisitions that have increased our diversification, allowed expansion into new markets, and
provided a differentiated R&D pipeline. We plan to continue to leverage our M&A and partnering strengths not
only to solidify our leadership positions in the MCM market, but also to expand our businesses in PHT markets
where the government is not the primary customer. We aim to accomplish this goal through a disciplined
approach to acquiring accretive or clinical-stage assets and to forming partnerships that help us to achieve our
strategic objectives.

Strengthen R&D Portfolio — We continue to focus on expanding and advancing our pipeline of vaccines

and therapeutic product candidates, with the aim of developing differentiated products that address unmet needs
in the PHT space. We fund our pipeline by investing our own funds and through securing government contracts,
grants, or other non-dilutive funding. We plan to grow our R&D pipeline to expand our portfolio of marketed and
procured PHT products.

Build Scalable Capabilities — Achieving our 2024 strategic objectives requires an investment in
infrastructure, internal governance and capabilities that help us realize the benefits of scale. This includes
investing new capital into our development and manufacturing facilities, strengthening our global sales and
procurement models, upgrading our technology and growing our commercial infrastructure. These, and other
capabilities, are intended to help us operate in a more efficient, customer-focused manner, while better serving
both government and non-government customers.

Evolve the Culture — We are proud of our heritage and the organization we have built, and further believe

that the growth we are striving for requires continued improvement and refinement of the culture of the
organization. We anticipate continuing to invest in the development of our people and our culture consistent with
our values. We are committed to attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent reflecting a diversity of
ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives and seek to demonstrate that commitment through our talent development
strategy, processes and company-wide programs.

Assuming successful execution of this strategic plan, we anticipate total revenue in 2024 of at least

$2 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin1 in 2024 of 27-30%.

1 Adjusted EBITDA Margin is equal to Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA is

defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other specified items that can be
highly variable or difficult to predict or to reflect the non-cash impact of charges or accounting changes.

Description of MCM Products

ACAM2000®. ACAM2000 is a smallpox
vaccine licensed by the FDA and is the primary
smallpox vaccine designated for use in a
bioterrorism emergency. ACAM2000 is also
licensed in Australia and Singapore and is currently
stockpiled both in the United States and
internationally. Smallpox is a highly contagious
disease caused by the Variola virus. According to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), it is one of the most devastating diseases
with a mortality rate as high as 30%. The vaccine
stimulates a person’s immune system to develop
antibodies and cells in the blood and elsewhere that
can then help the body fight off a smallpox infection
if exposure to smallpox occurs.

On September 3, 2019, we announced the
award by the USG of a contract valued at up to
approximately $2 billion over 10 years for the
continued supply of ACAM2000 into the Strategic
National Stockpile (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 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 million, to procure
doses of ACAM2000. 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.
The actual number of ACAM2000 doses to be
procured in the future is dependent on certain timing
and tiered-pricing terms that are subject to the
discretion of HHS.

Anthrasil®. Anthrasil is the only polyclonal
antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA and Health
Canada for the treatment of inhalational anthrax.
Anthrasil is licensed by the FDA for the treatment of
inhalational anthrax in adult and pediatric patients in
combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs.
Anthrasil also received orphan drug designation for
that indication, resulting in market exclusivity in the
United States until March 2022. We currently have
two contracts with HHS: a development and
procurement contract that expires in September 2023,
and a multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite

quantity contract for the collection of anti-anthrax
plasma, as well as the manufacture of such plasma
into bulk drug substance and finished drug product
and delivery of finished product into the SNS. This
contract covers extended plasma storage, and the
options for manufacturing and product delivery,
which are available to be exercised by HHS through
September 2023. In addition to domestic, USG sales,
Anthrasil has been sold to several foreign
governments, including the Canadian government.

BAT®. BAT is the only equine plasma
antitoxin licensed by the FDA and Health Canada
for the treatment of all seven botulinum neurotoxin
serotypes. BAT 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 is also approved in
Singapore and Ukraine. BAT is the only heptavalent
botulism antitoxin available in the United States 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 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 million, is to supply annual doses of BAT 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 million over
10 years. The second deliverable, valued at up to
approximately $366 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 continues to be sold internationally, with
deliveries to over 16 foreign governments in 2021.

BioThrax®. BioThrax is the only vaccine
licensed by the FDA for pre-exposure prophylaxis of
anthrax disease in persons at high risk of exposure.
BioThrax 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.

BioThrax was granted orphan drug designation
(market exclusivity) for the post-exposure
prophylaxis indication through November 2022; see
“Regulation - Marketing Approval - Biologics,
Drugs and Vaccines - Orphan Drugs” for a
description of orphan drug status. 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 United States,
BioThrax 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 6
and 12 months after completion of the primary series
and at 12-month intervals thereafter.
BioThrax is administered in a post-exposure
prophylaxis setting as three subcutaneous injections
two weeks apart in conjunction with recommended
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 as well as the product
candidate AV7909 (described below).

In December 2016, we signed a follow-on

contract with the CDC for the supply of up to
approximately 29.4 million doses of BioThrax for
delivery into the SNS, over a five-year period ending
in September 2021. On September 29, 2021, we
were granted a no-cost contract extension, which
extended the date through which the USG may
procure BioThrax to March 31, 2022.

Raxibacumab injection, a fully human
monoclonal antibody. 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. We
assumed responsibility for a multi-year contract with
the Biomedical Advanced Research and
Development Authority (BARDA) from Human
Genome Sciences, Inc. and GlaxoSmithKline LLC
(collectively referred to as GSK) to supply the
product to the SNS through November 2019. All
deliveries under this contract are complete.

RSDL®. RSDL is the only medical device

cleared by the FDA that is intended to remove or
neutralize chemical warfare agents from the skin,
including tabun, sarin, soman, cyclohexyl sarin, VR,
VX, mustard gas and T-2 toxin. RSDL has also been
cleared as a medical device by Health Canada, has a
current European Conformity (CE) mark under
European Directives, and is licensed by the Israel
Ministry of Health and by Australia’s Therapeutic
Goods Administration. To date, the principal
customers for RSDL have been agencies of the
USG, including the Department of Defense (DoD)
and the National Guard. Our current contract with
the DoD, awarded in September 2017, is a five-year
contract valued at up to approximately $171 million
to supply RSDL for use by all branches of the U.S.
military. In addition to the DoD and other USG
agencies, beginning in 2017, we made RSDL
available for the first time for purchase by civilians
in the United States. We have also sold RSDL to 33
foreign countries outside the United States, since the
device was cleared in 2003.

Trobigard® atropine sulfate, obidoxime

chloride auto-injector. TROBIGARD was
approved by the Federal Agency for Medicines and
Health Products of the Belgium Health Authority on
February 18, 2021. TROBIGARD is not currently
approved or cleared by the FDA. TROBIGARD is
only distributed to authorized government buyers for
use outside the United States. In Belgium, the
TROBIGARD Auto-injector is indicated for the
emergency treatment of known or suspected
exposure to nerve agents or toxic organophosphates
in adults (age 18 and up). In February 2019,
Emergent was awarded a 10-year contract, valued at
up to approximately $100 million, by the U.S.
Department of State, to deliver our TROBIGARD
product, training auto-injectors and RSDL for
emergency use outside of the United States. The
contract consists of a five-year base period of
performance with five one-year option periods.

VIGIV CNJ-016®. VIGIV 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 is the USG,
specifically HHS. In June 2019, we announced a
contract award by HHS valued at approximately
$535 million over 10 years for the continued supply
of VIGIV into the SNS for smallpox preparedness.
VIGIV has also been procured by a limited number
of foreign governments.

Description of Commercial Business Line
Products

NARCAN®. NARCAN, a product we obtained
in connection with our acquisition of Adapt Pharma
Inc. in 2018, is an intranasal formulation of
naloxone approved by the FDA and Health Canada
for the emergency treatment of known or suspected
opioid overdose as demonstrated by respiratory and/
or central nervous system depression. The primary
customers for NARCAN are state health
departments, local law enforcement agencies,
community-based organizations, substance abuse
centers, federal agencies and consumers through
pharmacies fulfilling physician-directed or standing
order prescriptions. We completed two important
product life cycle improvements in 2020. First, we
launched the Generation II NARCAN device, which
has a claim for enhanced temperature excursions and
storage below 25°C. Second, we gained FDA
approval for an extension of the shelf life of
NARCAN from 24 months to 36 months.

In addition, we have also secured an agreement
with Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz) to distribute an authorized

generic naloxone nasal spray, which was launched in
December 2021 and will be available in the
United States via retail pharmacies and institutions,
including hospitals.

Vaxchora®. Vaxchora is a live attenuated
cholera vaccine for oral administration and the first
vaccine approved by the FDA for the prevention of
cholera infection. Cholera is a potentially life-
threatening bacterial infection that occurs in the
intestines and causes severe diarrhea and dehydration.
It has a low incidence in the United States and
Europe, but a high incidence in Africa, Southeast
Asia, and other locations around the world. These
areas have historically drawn travelers from the
United States and Europe, so cholera can occur in
patients who return to the United States or Europe
from visits to these regions. Vaxchora is approved in
the United States for active immunization against
disease caused by V. cholerae serogroup 01 in
persons 2 to 64 years of age traveling to cholera-
affected areas. Vaxchora is indicated in the EU for
active immunization against disease caused by
V. cholerae serogroup 01 in adults and children aged
2 years and older.

We have marketed Vaxchora to a subset of
travelers primarily from the United States. Our sales
of Vaxchora were diminished in 2020 and 2021 due
to the broad disruption to travel caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. We expect limited sales to
resume in 2022 in line with limited anticipated
return to international travel.

Vivotif®. Vivotif is a live attenuated vaccine

for oral administration to prevent typhoid fever.
Typhoid fever is a potentially severe and
occasionally life-threatening febrile illness caused
by Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi, a bacterium
that only lives in humans. It is usually acquired by

Description of Product Candidates

AP003. AP003 (Naloxone multidose nasal

spray) is being developed for the emergency
treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose,
as manifested by respiratory and/or central nervous
system depression. Naloxone hydrochloride is an
opioid antagonist that is intended to antagonize
opioid effects by competing for the same receptor
sites. Naloxone hydrochloride is intended to reverse
the effects of opioids, including respiratory
depression, sedation, and hypotension. It is also
intended to reverse the psychotomimetic and
dysphoric effects of agonist-antagonists such as
pentazocine.

AP007. AP007 (Sustained release Nalmefene
Injectable) is being developed for the treatment of
opioid use disorder. AP007 is an extended-release
formulation of Nalmefene, an opioid receptor
antagonist, intended to continually release an
effective dose of Nalmefene for up to three months
and to be administered through intramuscular
injection.

AV7909. We are developing AV7909, an
anthrax vaccine product candidate based on anthrax
vaccine adsorbed combined with an adjuvant 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.
Studies have shown that AV7909 elicits a stronger
immune response using fewer doses than BioThrax,
allowing patients to reach a protective level of
immunity more rapidly. AV7909 is expected 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
BARDA, which included a five-year base period of
performance to develop AV7909 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 million
doses of AV7909 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; the 3,850 subject trial
evaluating safety, immunogenicity and lot
consistency was completed in 2020. In collaboration
with us, the CDC filed with the FDA a
pre-Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
submission package related to AV7909. Following
this submission, BARDA began procuring AV7909,
exercising its first contract option in July 2019
(valued at approximately $261 million) to procure
doses to be delivered to the SNS through June of
2020, its second contract option in June 2020
(valued at $258 million) to procure additional doses
of AV7909 for delivery into the SNS over 12
months and, most recently, in September 2021
funding another contract option (valued at
approximately $399 million) to deliver doses of
AV7909 to the SNS over 18 months. In December
2021, we commenced our submission of a BLA for
AV7909 to the FDA, although there can be no
assurance it will be approved by the FDA. When we
report the revenue associated with “anthrax
vaccines,” it reflects the combined revenue from the
procurement and sale of AV7909 as well as
BioThrax (described above).

CGRD-001. The CGRD-001 auto-injector is

being developed for treatment of poisoning by
organophosphorus nerve agents, as well as
organophosphorus compounds, in an auto-injector
for protection of soldiers and first responders.
CGRD-001 is being developed as an auto-injector
capable of delivering intramuscular 2-PAM (600
mg) and atropine (2 mg) through self- or buddy-aid
to service members following nerve agent exposure.

CHIKV VLP. We are developing a
chikungunya virus (CHIKV) virus-like particle
(VLP) vaccine candidate, CHIKV VLP, to be
administered as a single dose for active
immunization against chikungunya disease. There is
currently no licensed vaccine, VLP or otherwise, to
prevent chikungunya virus disease. The structure of
the CHIKV VLP is nearly identical to the wild-type
virus but does not pose a risk of replication. Studies
conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Vaccine Research
Center and Emergent have shown that the CHIKV
VLP vaccine is safe and elicits high titer neutralizing
antibodies, which are needed to protect against
chikungunya virus. In 2021, we initiated a Phase 3

10

clinical trial for CHIKV VLP. Our CHIKV VLP
vaccine candidate received Breakthrough Therapy
designation and Fast Track designation from the
FDA in October 2020 and May 2018, respectively,
and PRIME designation from the European
Medicines Agency (EMA) in September 2019.

COVID-HIG. COVID-HIG is a fully human
polyclonal antibody therapeutic product candidate
made from plasma with high titers to SARS-CoV-2.
COVID-HIG is being developed as a potential
treatment of COVID-19 disease in SARS-CoV-2
positive outpatients who are at high risk of
progression to severe disease. In collaboration with
NIAID and BARDA, Emergent is currently
participating in an international Phase 3 clinical trial
in outpatients known as INSIGHT-012. With DoD
funding, in 2021, we initiated a Phase 1 clinical
study evaluating alternate routes of administration
(low-dose IV, subcutaneous, and intramuscular) to
enable broader access to treatment. COVID-HIG has
been provided under emergency Investigational New
Drug (IND) to treat hospitalized patients in need.

EGRD-001. The EGRD-001 auto-injector is
being developed for treatment of status epilepticus
and severe recurrent convulsive seizures caused by
nerve agent poisoning, in an auto-injector for
protection of soldiers and first responders.
EGRD-001 is being developed as an auto-injector
capable of delivering intramuscular Diazepam (10
mg) through buddy-aid to service members who are
actively seizing.

SIAN. We are developing SIAN (stabilized
isoamyl nitrate) as an antidote for initial treatment of
acute poisoning of cyanide that is judged to be
serious or life threatening. The USG’s 2015 Public
Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure
Enterprise Strategy and Implementation Plan
identifies cyanide (CN) as a high-priority threat.
Historically, CN has been used as a chemical
warfare agent and could be an agent for a terrorist
attack. CN also represents a threat from accidental
poisoning, such as industrial accidents or exposure
during building fires. This BARDA-funded medical
countermeasure will see the development of a
single-use intranasal spray device that can be rapidly
deployed and easily dispensed so that it will deliver
SIAN following a cyanide incident or in a mass
exposure setting.

UniFlu. We are developing a universal

influenza vaccine candidate based on a nanoparticle
vaccine that self-assembles during production and
that displays a cross-reactive hemagglutinin (HA)
antigen for active immunization against influenza
virus A and B. The self-assembling HA stabilized
stem nanoparticle technology was developed by and
licensed from the NIAID Vaccine Research Center.
Using this technology, a universal influenza vaccine
could be designed to confer protection against
divergent, constantly evolving strains and subtypes
of influenza virus. In 2021, we initiated a phase 1
study designed to demonstrate safety, tolerability,
and immunogenicity of the influenza virus A
components of the vaccine candidate with future
studies planned to investigate additional components
for full coverage against all influenza virus A and B
strains.

Description of Services

We have ten development and manufacturing
sites spread across multiple locations in the United
States and internationally. Six of these sites
currently provide CDMO services to customers and
the others are either ready now or in various stages
of investment to advance them for servicing CDMO
customers.

‰ Our Winnipeg and Gaithersburg sites house

our development services expertise;
‰ Our Bayview, Lansing, Winnipeg, San
Diego, Bern and Canton sites house our
drug substance expertise; and

11

‰ Our Camden, Winnipeg, Rockville and
Hattiesburg sites house our drug product
and packaging expertise.

We currently have over 60 active CDMO
customers. Below is a description of the most
significant CDMO arrangements that were active
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine
Arrangement. On July 2, 2020, we executed a
large-scale drug substance manufacturing agreement
related to Johnson & Johnson’s lead COVID-19
vaccine candidate, with an initial term based on
volume, valued at approximately $480 million, with
an option for an additional three-year term to
provide capacity to support volume commitments.
This agreement was preceded by an agreement
valued at approximately $135 million to provide
CDMO services and capacity reservation to
Johnson & Johnson.

AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine
Arrangement. On July 26, 2020, following
BARDA’s direction to release capacity at our
Bayview facility to AstraZeneca, we executed a
large-scale manufacturing agreement with
AstraZeneca for their COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
The Company, at the direction of AstraZeneca,
ceased manufacturing of the AstraZeneca product in
April 2021. The Company is working with
AstraZeneca to wind down the agreement.

Providence Therapeutics Vaccine

Arrangement. On September 14, 2021, we entered
into a five-year CDMO services agreement with
Providence Therapeutics to support Providence’s
COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine
development and manufacturing at our Winnipeg
site. The agreement is valued at approximately
$90 million, covering manufacturing services,
studies to support global supply chain activities, as
well as facility and equipment investments.

BARDA Center for Innovation in Advanced
Development and Manufacturing Relationship. In
2012, we entered into the Center for Innovation in
Advanced Development and Manufacturing
(CIADM) Contract with the US Government, a
25-year agreement with BARDA under which we
would prepare a facility to be able to manufacture

50 million doses of influenza vaccine in four months
in the case of a pandemic. Since that time, we have
invested over $200 million of our own funds
towards readiness of the facility. In mid 2020,
following declaration of a public health emergency
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BARDA issued
task orders under this agreement to reserve capacity
at the facility to control which vaccine candidates
would be manufactured in the facility’s reserved
space. On November 1, 2021, we entered into
contract modifications (the Modifications) with
BARDA under which we mutually agreed to
terminate the CIADM, along with all associated task
orders, including the task order issued on May 30,
2020 to reserve capacity and expand manufacturing
of drug substance for third- party COVID-19
vaccine candidates. The Modifications reduced the
total contract value to be realized under the task
orders to $470.9 million from $650.8 million. The
total base CIADM Contract value to be realized was
reduced to $140.5 million from $163.2 million.
Other than customary post-termination activities,
there are no ongoing obligations related to these
contracts.

Marketing and Sales

We have dedicated sales channels for each of

our business lines.

Government - MCM Business Line

We partner with stakeholders in the USG and

domestic NGOs to support procurement of our
MCM products and procured product candidates.

We also partner with foreign governments as

well as NGOs to support procurement of MCM
products and procured product candidates
internationally.

Our specialized team has expertise and
experience in the public and private sector, dealing
with counterterrorism, CBRNE preparedness and
public health.

Commercial Business Line

NARCAN is sold directly to state and local
governments and used by first responders, including:
police, firefighters and emergency medical teams. In

12

addition, NARCAN is dispensed to patients at risk
of an opioid overdose through retail pharmacies as
prescribed by a physician.

Vivotif® and Vaxchora® are vaccines intended
for use by travelers heading to regions where there is
a risk of exposure to certain infectious diseases and,
therefore, are sold to channels that address travel
health. We sell to both wholesalers and distributors
as well as directly to healthcare practitioners. The
primary commercial customers of Vivotif and
Vaxchora are private travel clinics, retail pharmacies
and integrated hospital networks. Sales of these
products were significantly reduced in 2020 and
2021 due to the broader disruption to travel caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect limited
sales to resume in 2022 in line with limited
anticipated return to international travel.

Services - CDMO Business Line

We market our CDMO services to the global

pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and
government/NGOs. We also provided CDMO
services to the USG, which ended in 2021. Our
CDMO services are supported by a dedicated group
of sales and business development, marketing,
customer experience, and commercial operations
professionals qualified to represent our full breadth
of service offerings to the global pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industry and governments/NGOs.

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. Specifically,
the competition for our products and product
candidates includes the following:

‰

AV7909 and BioThrax. AV7909 and
BioThrax are currently procured, primarily
by the USG, for prevention of anthrax
disease. While there are no vaccines, other
than BioThrax, approved by the FDA for
prevention of anthrax disease, and none
other than AV7909 and BioThrax that have
been procured by the SNS, we face
potential future competition for the supply

13

of anthrax vaccines if the USG chooses to
procure products or product candidates for
any programs currently in development.
Altimmune, Inc., GC Pharma, Blue Willow
Biologics, and Greffex are each currently
developing anthrax vaccine product
candidates, which are in various stages of
clinical development. Of the product
candidates, Altimmune and Blue Willow
Biologics have completed Phase 1 trials.

‰ NARCAN®. NARCAN 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 filed applications for generic
versions of an intranasal naloxone spray
based on NARCAN with the FDA and
Health Canada. Teva recently launched its
generic naxolone nasal spray in the United
States. NARCAN also faces branded
competition from other injectable naloxone,
auto-injectors and improvised nasal kits,
including Kloxxado™ (naloxone HCl) nasal
spray 8 mg, a branded product developed
by Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which
delivers a higher dose naloxone nasal spray.
Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s
naloxone injection product, Teleflex
Medical Inc’s Intranasal Mucosal
Atomization Device and Zimhi™
(naloxone), a branded injectable product
developed by Adamis. In addition, Orexo
AB and Harm Reduction Therapeutics both
have development programs for naloxone
nasal spray formulations intended for use in
opioid overdose reversal. NARCAN may
face additional generic and branded
competition in the future.

‰

ACAM2000®. ACAM2000 faces
competition from JYNNEOSTM, which is
licensed by the FDA for the prevention of
smallpox and monkeypox disease in adults
18 years of age and older determined to be
at high risk for smallpox or monkeypox
infection. JYNNEOS is also approved in
Canada and in the European Union under
the trade names IMVAMUNE® and
IMVANEX®, respectively. ACAM2000

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. While therapeutics
generally do not compete directly with
vaccines, our sales to the USG are
dependent upon U.S. policy of stockpiling
vaccines for emergency use. There are two
approved smallpox therapeutics medicines
in the United States made by SIGA
Technologies, Inc. (SIGA) and Chimerix
Inc. (Chimerix) and in the event USG
policy regarding smallpox vaccine and
therapeutic stockpiling were to change, our
sales could be adversely affected.

Raxibacumab injection, a fully human
monoclonal antibody and Anthrasil®. Our
raxibacumab product is the first FDA-
licensed fully human anthrax monoclonal
antibody therapeutic and Anthrasil 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 chimeric (or partially human)
antibody indicated for the treatment and
prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax.
Obiltoxaximab is also approved in Canada
and the EU.

BAT®. Our botulinum antitoxin immune
globulin product is the only heptavalent
antitoxin licensed by the FDA and Health
Canada for the treatment of symptomatic
botulism for all seven botulinum neurotoxin
serotypes. Direct competition is currently
limited.

‰

‰

‰ CNJ-016®. Our VIGIV product is the only
therapeutic licensed by the FDA and Health
Canada to address adverse events from
smallpox vaccination with replicating virus
smallpox vaccines. While direct
competition in terms of the treatment of
smallpox vaccination side effects is limited,

14

SIGA has obtained FDA approval for
TPOXX® (tecovirimat), an oral therapy for
the treatment of smallpox disease. TPOXX
is currently procured by the SNS. Chimerix
has also recently been granted FDA
approval for TEMBEXA® (brincidofovir)
tablets and oral suspension approval for the
treatment of smallpox.

RSDL®. In the United States, the RSDL Kit
is the only medical device cleared by the
FDA to remove or neutralize chemical
warfare agents and T-2 toxin from the skin.
Internationally, various Ministries of
Defense have procured Fullers Earth, Dutch
Powder and French Powder as a
preparedness countermeasure for the
decontamination of liquid chemical
weapons from the skin.

Trobigard® atropine sulfate, obidoxime
chloride auto-injector. In the United States,
Meridian Medical Technologies has been
the primary supplier of nerve-agent antidote
auto-injectors. In the United States and
internationally, there have been supply
disruptions of Meridian Medical
Technologies auto-injectors leading to
shortages of these emergency use devices.
The USG has funded the development of a
number of nerve agent antidote auto-
injectors including development programs
at Emergent, Aktiv Pharma Group, Kaleo
and others. Outside of the United States
there are a number of suppliers of these
devices though few with approvals from
national or regional regulatory authorities.

Vivotif®. Vivotif is the only FDA-approved
oral typhoid vaccine. In the markets where
Vivotif is licensed, it competes primarily
with Sanofi Pasteur’s Typhim VI® vaccine,
an injectable polysaccharide typhoid
vaccine.

Vaxchora®. In the United States, Vaxchora
is the only FDA-licensed vaccine available
indicated to prevent cholera. Vaxchora is
the only single-dose cholera vaccine in the
EU and is subject to competition by
Valneva’s Dukoral® two-dose cholera
vaccine in the EU.

Bioservices, KBI Biopharma, Vetter
Pharma, and FUJIFILM Diosynth
Biotechnologies. We also compete with in-
house research, development and support
service departments of other
biopharmaceutical companies.

Geographical Reliance

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020

and 2019, the Company’s revenue from U.S.
customers as a percentage of total revenues were
92%, 93% and 90%, respectively.

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

We utilize single source suppliers for all
components of NARCAN. It is manufactured by a
third party, which operates a full service offering
from formulation to final packaging. Materials for
production of NARCAN, 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.

We rely on single source suppliers for our
plasma collection to support the Anthrasil, VIGIV
and BAT programs. We work closely with our
suppliers for these specialty programs and operate
under long term agreements. We order quantities of
material in advance in quantities believed to be
sufficient to meet upcoming demand requirements.

The rapid demand for COVID-19 vaccines and

therapeutics in light of the current pandemic has
caused significant demand for raw materials for the
vaccine and therapeutics we are manufacturing.
Furthermore, competition for limited supplies of
such raw materials from other manufacturers of
COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics may limit our
ability to manufacture on a timely basis.

Our development and manufacturing network

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

allows us to deploy capabilities and capacity for
clinical and commercial supply needs.

Supplies and Raw Materials

We currently rely on contract manufacturers
and other third parties to manufacture some of the
supplies we require for pre-clinical studies and
clinical trials, as well as supplies and raw materials
used in the production of our products. Typically,
we acquire these supplies and raw materials on a
purchase order basis and, when possible, in
quantities we believe adequate to meet our needs.
We obtain Alhydrogel® adjuvant 2%, used to
manufacture AV7909 and BioThrax, 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 believed
to be sufficient to meet our expected manufacturing
needs. We also utilize single-source suppliers for
other raw materials in our manufacturing processes.

We actively seek to protect intellectual property

related to our Company’s 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, 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 intellectual property rights of others.

REGULATION

Regulations in the United States 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 (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 (DOSAR) 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
ITAR (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 and the SNS, increases the likelihood of
Congressional review and oversight. The oversight
and regulations we are subject to can impose 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 regulations, 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 chemical,
biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRNE)
agents.

The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness

Act of 2006 and Reauthorization Acts. The Pandemic
and All-Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006
(PAHPA) established a new Assistant Secretary for
Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within HHS and
provided new authorities for a number of programs,
including the creation of BARDA for the advanced
research and development and procurement of
MCMs for 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 R&D.
The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and
Advancing Innovation Act of 2019 (PAHPAIA)
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 threat agents. It has also procured and

16

stockpiled many of our related products for potential
use in the event of a PHT emergency, including
BioThrax, ACAM2000, Anthrasil, BAT, VIGIV and
raxibacumab.

Funding for BARDA is provided by annual
appropriations by Congress. Congress appropriates
annual funding for procurements 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

As amended by Project BioShield and

subsequent legislation, including PAHPRA and the
21st Century Cures Act, the FDCA permits the
Secretary of HHS to authorize the introduction into
interstate commerce of unapproved MCMs, or
approved MCMs for unapproved uses, in the context
of an actual or potential emergency that has been
declared by designated government officials (known
as emergency use). The types of emergencies that
trigger these authorities include public health
emergencies announced by the Secretary of HHS,
military emergencies announced by the Secretary of
Defense, domestic emergencies announced by the
Secretary of Homeland Security, and the
identification of a material threat pursuant to
Section 319-F-2 of the Public Health Service Act
(PHSA) that is sufficient to affect national security
or the health and security of United States citizens
living abroad. After one of the emergencies has been
announced, the Secretary of HHS may authorize the
issuance of, and the FDA Commissioner may issue,
EUAs for the use of specific products based on
criteria established by statute, including that the
product at issue may be effective in diagnosing,
treating, or preventing serious or life-threatening
diseases or conditions caused by CBRNE threat
agents when there are no adequate, approved, and
available alternatives. EUAs are subject to additional
conditions and restrictions, are product-specific, and
terminate when the emergency determination
underlying the EUA terminates.

Under PAHPRA, the USG may also, at its
discretion, purchase critical biodefense products for
the SNS prior to FDA approval after the filing of a
pre-EUA application with the FDA. BARDA is
currently procuring AV7909 from us pursuant to this

authority, a product candidate which has not yet
been approved by the FDA.

Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness

Act. The Public Readiness and Emergency
Preparedness Act (PREP Act) creates liability
immunity for manufacturers of MCMs when the
Secretary of HHS issues a declaration for their
manufacture, administration or use. A PREP Act
declaration is intended to provide liability immunity
from claims under federal or state law for loss
arising out of the administration or use of a covered
MCM under a government contract. The only
statutory exception to this immunity is for actions or
failures to act that constitute willful misconduct. The
Secretary of HHS has issued PREP Act declarations
identifying BioThrax, ACAM2000, raxibacumab,
Anthrasil, BAT and VIGIV, as covered
MCMs. These declarations expire in 2022.

Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective

Technology Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act). The
SAFETY Act was enacted to create liability
limitations for qualifying anti-terrorism technologies
for claims arising from or related to an act of
terrorism. Renewal of coverage of BioThrax under
the SAFETY Act is pending. Even if we renew
coverage of the SAFETY Act for BioThrax and
RSDL, such benefits 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 clinical
trials with human patients to determine efficacy 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 is unethical and
field trials, after an accidental or deliberate
exposure, are not feasible. Under the “Animal Rule,”
under some circumstances, approval of product
candidates can be based on clinical data from trials
in healthy subjects that demonstrate adequate safety
and immunogenicity as well as efficacy data from
animal studies.

17

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 (IND)
application. 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 clearance 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 involves introduction of the drug
into healthy human subjects 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, explore tolerance, optimal
dosage, and safety.

Phase 3 trials must demonstrate clinical
efficacy and safety in a larger number of
healthy subjects or patients, and permit the
FDA to evaluate the overall benefit-risk
relationship of the product and provide
adequate information for drug labeling.

Phase 4 studies may also be conducted

following marketing approval 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. All phases of clinical
studies must be conducted in conformance with the
FDA’s bioresearch monitoring regulations and Good
Clinical Practices (GCP) which are ethical and
scientific quality standards for conducting clinical
trials.

Marketing Approval – Biologics, Drugs and
Vaccines

Biologics License Application/New Drug
Application. 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 a new drug application
(NDA) filing. The submission of an application 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, if
approved, 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
deny the application if it determines the application
does not provide substantial evidence of
effectiveness and/or that the drug is not safe for use
under the conditions of use in the proposed labeling.
If the FDA decides not to approve an application, it
will issue a complete response letter, or CRL. 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).

We are working on a BLA for filing with the

FDA related to AV7909, a portion of which we
submitted to the FDA in December of 2021. The
receipt of regulatory approval may take many years,
and typically involves the expenditure of substantial
financial resources. Accordingly, there can be no
assurances we will receive approval for AV7909
from the FDA. 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,

18

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 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 for generic products. Relevant to
Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs, each an
ANDA) 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 (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 require ANDA applicants to
independently demonstrate safety and efficacy of
generic products. However, a generic manufacturer is
required to demonstrate that its product contains the
same active ingredient as, and is bioequivalent to, the
innovator product. Bioequivalence is established when
there is an absence of a significant difference in the rate
and extent for absorption of the generic product and the
listed drug.

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 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 may 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 measurements to support the
change from the approved product. The FDA may
then approve the new product candidate for certain
label 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 list with the FDA 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 listed in the
application for the drug is then published in the
Orange Book. Any subsequent applicant who files
an ANDA seeking approval of a generic equivalent
version of a drug listed in the Orange Book or a
505(b)(2) NDA referencing a drug listed in the
Orange Book must make one of the following
certifications to the FDA concerning patents: (1) the
patent information concerning the RLD has not been
submitted to the FDA; (2) any such patent that was
filed has expired; (3) the date on which such patent
will expire; or (4) such patent is invalid or will not
be infringed upon 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.

If the RLD’s NDA holder or patent owners

assert a patent challenge directed to one of the
Orange Book listed patents within 45 days of the
receipt of the paragraph IV certification notice, the
FDA is prohibited from approving the application
until the earlier of 30 months from the receipt of the
paragraph IV certification, expiration of the patent,
settlement of the lawsuit or a decision in the
infringement case that is favorable to the applicant.
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 branded reference
drug has expired.

Biosimilar Products. When a biological product
is licensed for marketing by FDA with approval of a
BLA, the product may be entitled to certain types of
market and data exclusivity barring FDA from
approving competing products for certain periods of
time under the Biologics Price Competition and
Innovation Act of 2009 (the BPCIA). The BPCIA
amended the PHSA to create an abbreviated
approval pathway for biological products that are
biosimilar to or interchangeable with an
FDA-licensed reference biological product. The
FDA may approve a biosimilar product if it finds
that there are no clinically meaningful differences
between the innovator product and the proposed
biosimilar product. For the FDA to approve an
interchangeable biosimilar product, it must conclude

19

that the product can be expected to produce the same
clinical results as the reference product and would
increase safety risks or risks of diminished efficacy.

An innovator biological product is granted 12
years of exclusivity from the time of first licensure
of the product, and the FDA will not accept an
application for a biosimilar or interchangeable
product based on that biological product until four
years after the date of first licensure of the reference
product. However, another company could market a
competing version of that product if the FDA
approves a full BLA for such product 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 their
product. There have been recent government
proposals to reduce the 12-year reference product
exclusivity period, but none has been enacted to
date. At the same time, since passage of the BPCIA,
many states have passed laws or amendments to
laws, which address pharmacy practices involving
biosimilar products.

Post-Approval Requirements. Any drug,
biologic or medical device product for which we
receive FDA approval will be subject to continuing
regulation by the FDA, including, among other
things, record keeping requirements, reporting of
adverse experiences, providing the FDA with
updated safety and efficacy information, product
sampling and distribution requirements, cGMPs and
restrictions on advertising and promotion. 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 United States if the drug
is intended to treat an orphan, or rare, disease or
condition. A disease or condition is considered
orphan if it affects fewer than 200,000 people in the
United States. A manufacturer must request orphan
drug designation prior to submitting a BLA or NDA.
Products designated as orphan drugs are eligible for
special grant funding for R&D, FDA assistance with
the review of clinical trial protocols, potential tax
credits for research, reduced filing fees for
marketing applications and a special seven-year
period of market 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) prevents FDA approval of
applications by others for the same drug for the
designated orphan disease or condition. Orphan drug
exclusivity will not bar approval of the same product
marketed by a different manufacturer under certain
circumstances, including if the company with orphan
drug exclusivity is not able to meet market demand
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.

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. Several of our vaccines are subject to lot
release protocols by the FDA and other regulatory
agencies.

Marketing Approval – Devices

Devices may fall within the definition of a
Medical Device or may be a Combination Product
including both a device for delivery of a drug
product and the drug product itself. Medical Devices
are also subject to FDA clearance or approval and
extensive regulation under the FDCA.

Medical devices are classified into one of three
classes – Class I, Class II or Class III - depending on

20

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. Pre-market review and clearance by the FDA for
Class I and II medical devices is accomplished
through a pre-market notification procedure, unless
the device is exempt. Devices deemed by the FDA to
pose the greatest risk, such as life-supporting or
implantable devices, are generally placed in
Class III.

Both before and after a medical device is
commercially distributed, manufacturers and
marketers of the device have ongoing
responsibilities under FDA regulations. The FDA
reviews design and manufacturing practices, record
keeping, reports of adverse events, labeling and
other information to identify potential problems with
marketed medical devices. Device manufacturers are
subject to periodic and unannounced inspection by
the FDA for compliance with cGMP requirements.

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. Like their constituent products—e.g.,
drugs and devices—combination products are highly
regulated and subject to a broad range of post
marketing requirements including cGMPs, adverse
event reporting, periodic reports, labeling and
advertising and promotion requirements and
restrictions, market withdrawal and recall.

The FDA also administers certain controls over

the export of medical devices from the United
States, as international sales of medical devices that
have not received FDA approval are subject to FDA
export requirements.

Manufacturing Requirements

The FDA’s regulations require that medicinal

products be manufactured in specific approved
facilities and in accordance with cGMPs. The cGMP
regulations include requirements relating to
organization of personnel, buildings and facilities,
equipment, control of components and product
containers and closures, production and process
controls, packaging and labeling controls, holding

21

and distribution, laboratory controls, records and
reports and returned or salvaged products.
Manufacturers and other entities involved in the
manufacture and distribution of approved products
are required to register their establishments with the
FDA and some state agencies, and they are subject
to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA for
compliance with cGMPs and other requirements.

Inspections must follow a “risk-based

schedule” that may result in certain establishments
being inspected more frequently. 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 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 and the imposition of
reporting and documentation requirements upon the
sponsor and any third-party manufacturers involved
in producing the approved product.

Regulation Outside of the U.S.

Currently, we maintain a commercial presence

in the United States and Canada as well as certain
other countries. In the European Union, medicinal
products are authorized following a process that is
similarly demanding as the process required in the
United States. Drug products may be authorized in
one of two ways, either through the decentralized
procedure, which provides for the mutual
recognition procedure of national approval decisions
by the competent authorities of the European Union
(EU) Member States or through the centralized
procedure by the European Commission, which
provides for the grant of a single marketing
authorization that is valid for all EU member states.
Each foreign country subjects medical devices to its
own regulatory requirements. We are also subject to
many of the same continuing post-approval
requirements in the EU as we are in the United
States (e.g., good manufacturing practices).

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 such 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
injunctions or the imposition of civil or
criminal penalties.

Health regulatory authorities in other countries

have similar rules and regulations although the
specifics vary jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

‰

‰

‰

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.

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

Our operations are also subject to compliance

with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
which prohibits corporations and individuals from
paying, offering to pay, or authorizing the payment
of anything of value to any foreign government
official, government staff member, political party or
political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain
business or to otherwise influence a person working
in an official capacity. We also may be implicated
under the FCPA by the activities of our partners,
collaborators, contract research organizations,
vendors or other agents. 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.

Fraud, Abuse and Anti-Corruption Laws

Regulations Governing Reimbursement

The United States 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 marketing practices of U.S. pharmaceutical

manufacturers are also subject to federal and state
healthcare laws related to government funded
healthcare programs.

In the United States, 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.

22

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 Medicaid and other 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 United States
continue to be considered and enacted.

Data Privacy Laws

A number of states in the United States have

passed or introduced bills, which, if passed, impose
operational requirements on U.S. companies similar
to the requirements reflected in the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU. 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. Additionally, the Federal Trade
Commission and many state attorney generals 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.

HUMAN CAPITAL

We value our employees and the contributions

each of them makes to achieving our mission to
protect and enhance life. We are committed to
working together toward our long-term aspiration to
protect and enhance one billion lives by 2030. One
of the five core objectives of our 2020-2024

23

strategic plan is to evolve the culture of our
organization consistent with our strategic objectives
and our values. 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. Another
core objective of our current strategic plan is to build
scalable capabilities; this objective includes
continuing to invest in growing and developing
leadership, innovation and engagement at all levels
of our workforce. As of December 31, 2021, we had
approximately 2,416 employees.

Health, Wellness and Safety

Employee safety and well-being is of

paramount importance to us and was of continued
focus in 2021 in light of COVID-19. In response to
the global pandemic, we immediately adjusted our
operations to ensure that only operation-critical
development and manufacturing employees worked
on-site, and we transitioned all other employees to
remote work and equipped them with productivity
and collaboration tools and resources.

As the extent of the pandemic unfolded,
increased attention was focused on the health and
safety of our on-site employees. We provided them
with personal protective equipment and
implemented new safety protocols, including
re-engineered workplace designs that facilitate
physical distancing, temperature screening and
access to COVID-19 testing. The frequency and
methods of communication between management
and employees were increased with regular all-hands
virtual meetings to discuss what we were doing as a
company to combat COVID-19 in conjunction with
our USG and private sector partners, and what we
were doing to protect our workers.

In addition, we enhanced and promoted
programs to support our employees’ physical and
mental well- being. For example, we offered
supplemental paid time off to employees who were
unable to work due to COVID-19 symptoms or
diagnosis, or who needed to address family
COVID-19 issues. We arranged and paid for
COVID-19 tests for employees who worked on- site.
We also partnered with a leading provider of online
mental health support and counseling to maintain
and expand our employees’ access to available
mental health resources.

Hiring and Talent Management

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. In 2021, we expanded
our global workforce and hired and onboarded over
600 full-time employees. 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, training
programs, tuition assistance professional
memberships and professional conference
attendance. We use the Gallup Q12 instrument to
measure employee engagement and inclusion on an
annual basis and administer “pulse surveys”
throughout the year to gather feedback on matters of
interest and importance to our employees and our
business.

Compensation and Benefits

Our total rewards plan consists of competitive

salaries, bonuses, and for employees in eligible
roles, equity awards based on company, group and
individual performance. We focus on results and
behavior because we value how we do things as
much as getting them done. It is this approach that
underpins our pay-for-performance philosophy and
emphasis on salary transparency. By providing
salary ranges, information on individual
performance, and the linkage of those two to merit
increases, employees have a fuller understanding of
their compensation and confidence that their pay is
fair and competitive. We recognize the need for
ongoing skill enhancement and support continued
learning through on-the-job assignments, training
programs, tuition assistance, professional
memberships and professional conference
attendance.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is integral

to how we operate and our success. We are
committed to attracting, developing, and retaining
the best talent reflecting a diversity of ideas,
backgrounds, and perspectives. DEI fuels our
business growth, drives innovation in the products
and services we develop, in the way we solve

24

problems, and how we serve the needs of a global
and diverse patient, customer and partner base. We
recognize the value that diversity contributes to our
global organization and the competitive advantage
we can maintain by cultivating a culture of inclusion
to benefit from our broad range of talents,
perspectives, and ideas. We demonstrate respect for
the individual by providing fair and equal treatment
to all our employees and continuously identifying
ways to recognize their various needs and interests.
In this regard, we recently launched three inaugural
Emergent Resource Groups (ERGs) for black,
women and veteran employees. While aligned by
constituency, our ERGs are open to all employees
and are another way we will continue building a
sense of belonging and connection to the
organization, which will strengthen our community.
These groups will open pathways of communication,
help to expand learning opportunities, and offer
avenues to advance our business strategy.

We thrive on our differences while sharing the

same core values to achieve our mission — to
protect and enhance life.

ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL AND
GOVERNANCE

Our mission to protect and enhance life has
motivated us to explore our impact at a broader scale
— environmental, social and governance (ESG)
stewardship, corporate responsibility, and ethics.
Our approach to these issues is the foundation of
good governance and strengthens accountability in
all aspects of our business activities and
relationships. ESG has always been an area of focus
for us, but in 2021 we established a formal ESG
review process focused on identifying, measuring,
and reporting on our ESG activities and progress and
issued our inaugural ESG report in the fourth quarter
of last year (the ESG Report). The ESG Report can
be found at: https://www.emergentbiosolutions.com/
wp-content/ uploads/2022/01/EBSI-
2020-ESG-Report.pdf.

Starting in 2012, we also established a
platform, that we call eGIVE (Give, Invest,
Volunteer), that we have continued to expand since
its inception. Through this platform, we have
encouraged employees to make contributions to
select charitable organizations and volunteer their

time, which we have supported with paid time off to
support socially responsible activities.

The risk factors below contain more detailed
descriptions of the risks identified above, which may
materially harm our business, financial condition or
results of cash flows.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING RISKS

We currently derive a substantial portion of our

revenue from USG procurement of AV7909 and
ACAM2000 and have historically derived a
substantial portion of our revenue from USG
procurement of BioThrax. If the USG’s demand for
and/or funding for procurement of AV7909 and/or
BioThrax or ACAM2000 is substantially reduced,
our business, financial condition, operating results
and cash flows would be materially harmed.

We derive a substantial portion of our current

and expected future revenues from USG
procurement of AV7909. As AV7909 is a product
development candidate, there is a higher level of risk
that we may encounter challenges causing delays or

an inability to deliver AV7909 than with BioThrax,
which may have a material effect on our ability to
generate and recognize revenue.

The success of our business and our future
operating results are significantly dependent on
anticipated funding for the procurement of our
anthrax vaccines and the terms of such procurement
by the USG, including the price per dose, the
number of doses and the timing of deliveries. We
have no certainty that funding will be made
available for the procurement of our anthrax
vaccines. If priorities for the SNS change generally,
or as a result of the conclusion of the USG’s audit of
the SNS, or with respect to the level of procurement
of our anthrax vaccines, funding to procure future
doses of AV7909 or BioThrax may be delayed,
limited or not available, BARDA may never
complete the anticipated full transition to stockpiling
AV7909 in support of anthrax preparedness, and our
future business, financial condition, operating results
and cash flows could be materially harmed.

In addition, we currently derive a substantial
portion of our revenues from sales of ACAM2000 to
the USG. If priorities for the SNS change with
respect to ACAM2000 or the USG decides not to
exercise additional options under our ACAM2000
contract, our future business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows could be materially
harmed.

We may not receive eventual FDA licensure of
AV7909 in a timely manner or at all. Delays in our
ability to achieve a favorable outcome from the FDA
could prevent us from realizing the full potential
value of our BARDA contract for the advanced
development and procurement of AV7909.

In collaboration with us, the CDC filed with the

FDA a pre-Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
submission package related to AV7909, which
enables FDA review of data in anticipation of a
request for an EUA. Following this submission,
BARDA began procuring AV7909, exercising its
first contract option in July 2019 to procure
10 million doses of AV7909, its second contract
option in July 2020 and, most recently, funding
another procurement commitment in October 2021
for inclusion of additional doses into the SNS in
support of anthrax preparedness.

We are also working on a BLA for filing with
the FDA related to AV7909 and we submitted part
of the BLA to the FDA in December 2021. There
can be no guarantee that we will meet our target date
for the completion of our submission. Moreover,
even if we do, the FDA may decide that our data are
insufficient and require additional pre-clinical,
clinical or other studies. If we are unsuccessful in
obtaining FDA licensure, in a timely manner or at
all, we may not be able to realize the full potential
value of the contract, which could have a material
adverse effect on our future business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.
Furthermore, prior to FDA licensure, if we obtain an
EUA, the EUA could be terminated if the emergency
determination underlying the EUA terminates.

Our USG procurement and development
contracts require ongoing funding decisions by the
USG. Simultaneous reduction or discontinuation of
funding of these contracts could cause our business,
financial condition, operating results and cash flows
to suffer materially.

The USG is the principal customer for our
MCMs and the primary source of funds for the
development of most of our product candidates in
our development pipeline, most notably our AV7909
procured product candidate. We anticipate that the
USG will also be a principal customer for those
MCMs that we successfully develop within our
existing product development pipeline, as well as
those we acquire in the future. Additionally, a
significant portion of our revenue comes from USG
development contracts and grants. Over its lifetime,
a USG procurement or development program may
be implemented through the award of many different
individual contracts and subcontracts. The funding
for such government programs is subject to
Congressional appropriations, generally made on a
fiscal year basis, even for programs designed to
continue for several years. For example,
procurement of AV7909 to be supplied under our
development and procurement contract with
BARDA is subject to the availability of funding,
mostly from annual appropriations. These
appropriations can be subject to political
considerations, changes in priorities due to global
pandemics, the results of elections and stringent
budgetary constraints.

28

Additionally, our government-funded
development contracts typically give the USG the
right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to extend
these contracts for successive option periods
following a base period of performance. The value
of the services to be performed during these option
periods may constitute the majority of the total value
of the underlying contract. For example, the
September 2016 contract award from BARDA for
the development and delivery to the SNS of AV7909
for post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease
consists of a five-year base period of performance.
The contract award also includes options for the
delivery of additional doses of AV7909 to the SNS
and options for an additional clinical study and post-
marketing commitments. This contract was extended
in September 2021 through 2025, and provides for
additional procurement of AV7909 for the SNS over
18 months. If levels of government expenditures and
authorizations for public health countermeasure
preparedness decrease or shift to programs in areas
where we do not offer products or are not
developing product candidates, or if the USG
otherwise declines to exercise its options under our
existing contracts, our revenues would suffer, as
well as our business, financial condition, operating
results and cash flows.

There can be no assurance that we will be able
to secure follow-on procurement contracts with the
USG upon the expiration of any of our product
procurement contracts.

A significant portion of our revenue is
substantially dependent upon product procurement
contracts with the USG and foreign governments for
our MCMs. Upon the expiration of a procurement
contract, we may not be able to negotiate a
follow-on procurement contract for the particular
product for a similar product volume, period of
performance, pricing or other terms, or at all. The
inability to secure a similar or increased
procurement contract could materially affect our
revenues and our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows could be harmed.
For example, in November 2019, the BARDA
procurement contract for raxibacumab that we
acquired in our 2017 acquisition of the product from
GlaxoSmithKline LLC was completed. We intend to
negotiate a follow-on procurement contract for
raxibacumab and other follow-on procurement
contracts for most of our MCMs upon the expiration

of a related procurement contract, but there can be
no assurance that we will be successful obtaining
any follow-on contracts. Even if we are successful in
negotiating a follow-on procurement contract, it may
be for a lower product volume, over a shorter period
of performance or be on less favorable pricing or
other terms. An inability to secure follow-on
procurement contracts for our products or procured
product candidates could materially and adversely
affect our revenues, and our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows could be
harmed.

The government contracting process is typically

a competitive bidding process and involves unique
risks and requirements.

Our business involves government contracts

and grants, which may be awarded through
competitive bidding. Competitive bidding for
government contracts presents many risks and
requirements, including:

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

the possibility that we may be ineligible to
respond to a request for proposal;

the commitment of substantial time and
attention of management and key
employees to the preparation of bids and
proposals;

the need to accurately estimate the
resources and cost structure that will be
required to perform any contract that we
might be awarded;

the submission by third parties of protests
to our responses to requests for proposal
that could result in delays or withdrawals of
those requests for proposal; and

in the event our competitors protest or
challenge contract or grant awards made to
us through competitive bidding, the
potential that we may incur expenses or
delays, and that any such protest or
challenge could result in the resubmission
of bids based on modified specifications, or
in the termination, reduction or
modification of the awarded contract.

The USG may choose not to award us future

contracts for either the development of our new
product candidates or for the procurement of our
existing MCM products and may instead award such

29

contracts to our competitors. If we are unable to
secure particular contracts, we may not be able to
operate in the market for products that are provided
under those contracts. Additionally, if we are unable
to consistently win new contract awards over an
extended period, or if we fail to anticipate all of the
costs or resources that we will be required to secure
and, if applicable, perform under such contract
awards, our growth strategy and our business,
financial condition and operating results and cash
flows could be materially and adversely affected.

The amount we are paid under our fixed price

government procurement contracts is based on
estimates we have made of the time, resources and
expenses required for us to perform under those
contracts. If our actual costs exceed our estimates,
we may not be able to earn an adequate return or
may incur a loss under these contracts, which could
harm our operating results and materially reduce
our net income.

Our current procurement contracts with HHS

and DoD are generally fixed price contracts. We
expect that additional future procurement contracts
we successfully secure with the USG would likely
also be fixed price contracts. Under a fixed price
contract, we are required to deliver our products at a
fixed price regardless of the actual costs we incur.
Estimating costs that are related to performance in
accordance with contract specifications is difficult,
particularly where the period of performance is over
several years. Our failure to anticipate technical
problems, estimate costs accurately or control costs
during performance of a fixed price contract could
reduce the profitability of such a contract or cause a
loss, which could harm our operating results and
materially reduce our net income.

Unfavorable provisions in government
contracts, some of which may be customary, may
subject our business to material limitations,
restrictions and uncertainties and may have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

Government contracts customarily contain
provisions that give the USG substantial rights and
remedies, many of which are not typically found in
commercial contracts, including provisions that
allow the USG to:

‰

terminate existing contracts, in whole or in
part, for any reason;

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

unilaterally reduce or modify contracts or
subcontracts;

decline, in whole or in part, to exercise an
option to purchase product under a
procurement contract or to fund additional
development under a development contract;

decline to renew a procurement contract;

claim certain rights to facilities or to
products, including intellectual property,
developed under the contract;

require repayment of contract funds spent
on construction of facilities in the event of
contract default;

take actions that result in a longer
development timeline than expected;

direct the course of a development program
in a manner not chosen by the government
contractor;

suspend or debar the contractor from doing
business with the government or a specific
government agency;

pursue civil or criminal remedies under acts
such as the False Claims Act and False
Statements Act; and

control or prohibit the export of products.

Generally, government contracts contain
provisions permitting unilateral termination or
modification, in whole or in part, at the USG’s
convenience. Under general principles of
government contracting law, if the USG terminates a
contract for convenience, the government contractor
may recover only its incurred or committed costs,
settlement expenses and profit on work completed
prior to the termination. If the USG terminates a
contract for default, the government contractor is
entitled to recover costs incurred and associated
profits on accepted items only and may be liable for
excess costs incurred by the government in
procuring undelivered items from another source.
All of our development and procurement contracts
with the USG are terminable at the USG’s
convenience with these potential consequences.

In addition, our USG contracts grant the USG
the right to use technologies developed by us under
the government contract or the right to share data
related to our technologies, for or on behalf of the
USG. Under our USG contracts, we may not be able

30

to limit third parties, including our competitors,
from accessing certain of these technology or data
rights, including intellectual property, in providing
products and services to the USG.

MANUFACTURING RISKS

An inability to maintain manufacturing
compliance at our manufacturing facilities, which
could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

The FDA conducts periodic inspections of our
manufacturing facilities for compliance with cGMP
requirements relating to quality control. The failure
to maintain compliance with such standards at our
manufacturing facilities has hindered and could
continue to hinder our ability to continue
manufacturing for CDMO customers, including the
bulk drug substance for Johnson & Johnson’s
COVID-19 vaccine, which could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, operating results
and cash flows.

Disruption at, damage to or destruction of our
manufacturing facilities could impede our ability to
manufacture anthrax vaccines, ACAM2000 or our
other products, as well as impact the delivery of
CDMO services, which would harm our business,
financial condition, operating results and cash
flows.

Any further interruptions in our manufacturing

operations could result in our inability to produce
products and product candidates for delivery to
satisfy the demands of our customers in a timely
manner, which would reduce our revenues and
materially harm our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows. A number of
factors could cause interruptions, including:

equipment malfunctions or failures;
technology malfunctions;
cyber-attacks;

‰
‰
‰
‰ work stoppages or slowdowns, particularly

‰

‰
‰

due to the impact of COVID-19;
civil unrest and protests, including by
animal rights activists;
injunctions;
damage to or destruction of one or more
facilities;

‰

‰

FDA facility inspection findings/
recommendations; and
product contamination or tampering.

Providers of MCMs could be subject to an

increased risk of terrorist activities. The USG has
designated both our Lansing, Michigan and our
Bayview bulk manufacturing facility in Baltimore,
Maryland as facilities requiring additional security.
Although we continually evaluate and update
security measures, there can be no assurance that
any additional security measures would protect these
facilities from terrorist efforts determined to disrupt
our manufacturing activities.

The factors listed above could also cause
disruptions at our other facilities. We do not have
any redundant manufacturing facilities for any of our
products. Accordingly, any damage to, or disruption
or destruction of one or more of our facilities could
impede our ability to manufacture our products, our
product candidates and our ability to provide
manufacturing and development services for
external customers, result in losses and delays,
including delays in the performance of our
contractual obligations or delays in our clinical
trials, any of which could be costly to us and
materially harm our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows.

Problems may arise during the production of

our products and product candidates, as well as
those we produce for our CDMO customers, due to
the complexity of the processes involved in their
development, manufacturing and shipment.
Significant delays in product manufacturing or
development and our ability to ramp up production
to meet the needs of our customers could cause
delays in recognizing revenues, which would harm
our business, financial condition, operating results
and cash flows.

The majority of our products and product
candidates are biologics. Manufacturing biologics,
especially in large quantities, is complex. The
products must be made consistently and in
compliance with a clearly-defined manufacturing
process. Problems during manufacturing may arise
for a variety of reasons, including problems with raw
materials, equipment malfunction and failure to
follow specific protocols and procedures. Slight

deviations anywhere in the manufacturing process,
including obtaining materials, maintaining master seed
or cell banks and preventing genetic drift, seed or cell
growth, fermentation, contamination including from
particulates among other things, filtration, filling,
labeling, packaging, storage and shipping, potency and
stability issues and other quality control testing, may
result in lot failures or manufacturing shut-downs,
delays in the release of lots, product recalls, spoilage or
regulatory action. Such deviations may require us to
revise manufacturing processes or change
manufacturers. Additionally, as our equipment ages, it
will need to be replaced, which has the potential to
result in similar consequences. Success rates can also
vary dramatically at different stages of the
manufacturing process, which can reduce yields and
increase costs. From time to time, we may experience
deviations in the manufacturing process that may take
significant time and resources to resolve and, if
unresolved, may affect manufacturing output and could
cause us to fail to satisfy customer orders or contractual
commitments, lead to a termination of one or more of
our contracts, lead to delays in our clinical trials, result
in litigation or regulatory action against us, including
the issuance of Forms FDA 483, warning letters and
other restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of
a product, or cause the FDA to cease releasing product
until the deviations are explained and corrected, any of
which could be costly to us, damage our reputation and
negatively impact our business. For example in April
2021, we temporarily stopped manufacturing bulk drug
substance material for Johnson & Johnson’s
COVID-19 vaccine at our Baltimore Bayview facility
after issues were identified in a viral vaccine drug
substance batch.

Additionally, if changes are made to the

manufacturing process, we may be required to
provide the FDA with pre-clinical and clinical data
showing the comparable identity, strength, quality,
purity or potency of any impacted products before
and after the changes.

We are contractually required to ship our
biologic products at a prescribed temperature range
and variations from that temperature range could
result in loss of product and could significantly and
adversely impact our revenues, which would harm
our business, financial condition, operating results
and cash flows.

In addition, we may not be able to ramp up our

manufacturing processes to meet the rapidly
changing demand or specifications of our customers
on the desired timeframe, if at all. For example, we
have not previously had to ramp our organization for
a commercial launch of any product or manufacture
any product for our CDMO customers at the current
pace required to address treatments related to
COVID-19 and doing so in a pandemic environment
with an urgent, critical global need creates unique
manufacturing challenges, challenges related to
distribution channels, and the need to establish
teams of people with the relevant skills. Our
inability to ramp up manufacturing to meet the
demand or specifications of our customers or the
inability to timely obtain regulatory authorization to
produce the products or product candidates of our
customers could also harm our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our products and product candidates procured

by the USG and other customers require us to
perform tests for and meet certain potency and lot
release standards prescribed by the FDA and other
agencies, which may not be met on a timely basis or
at all.

Our products and product candidates procured

by the USG and other customers require us to
perform tests for and meet certain potency and lot
release standards prescribed by the FDA and other
agencies, which may not be met on a timely basis or
at all. We are unable to sell any products and
product candidates that fail to satisfy such testing
specifications. For example, we must provide the
FDA with the results of certain tests, including
potency tests, before certain lots are released for
sale. Potency testing of each applicable lot is
performed against qualified control lots that we
maintain. We continually monitor the status of such
reference lots for FDA compliance and periodically
produce and qualify a new reference lot to replace
the existing reference lot. If we are unable to satisfy
USG requirements for the release of our products or
product candidates, our ability to supply such
products and product candidates to authorized
buyers would be impaired until such time as we
become able to meet such requirements, which could
materially harm our future business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

32

Our operations, including our use of hazardous

materials, chemicals, bacteria and viruses, require
us to comply with regulatory requirements and
expose us to significant potential liabilities.

Our operations involve the use of hazardous
materials, including chemicals, bacteria and viruses,
and may produce dangerous waste products.
Accordingly, we, along with the third parties that
conduct clinical trials and manufacture our products
and product candidates on our behalf, are subject to
federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
that govern the use, manufacture, distribution,
storage, handling, exposure, disposal and
recordkeeping with respect to these materials. Under
the Federal Select Agent Program, pursuant to the
Public Health Security and Bioterrorism
Preparedness and Response Act, we are required to
register with and be inspected by the CDC and the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service if we
have in our possession, or if we use or transfer,
select biological agents or toxins that could pose a
threat to public health and safety, to animal or plant
health or to animal or plant products. This legislation
requires stringent safeguards and security measures
for these select agents and toxins, including
controlled access and the screening of entities and
personnel and establishes a comprehensive national
database of registered entities. We are also subject to
a variety of environmental and occupational health
and safety laws. Compliance with current or future
laws and regulations in this area can require
significant costs and we could be subject to
substantial fines and penalties in the event of
noncompliance. In addition, the risk of
contamination or injury from these materials cannot
be completely eliminated. In such event, we could
be held liable for substantial civil damages or costs
associated with the cleanup of hazardous materials.
From time to time, we have been involved in
remediation activities and may be so involved in the
future. Any related cost or liability might not be
fully covered by insurance, could exceed our
resources and could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, operating
results and cash flows. In addition to complying with
environmental and occupational health and safety
laws, we must comply with special regulations
relating to biosafety administered by the CDC, HHS,
U.S. Department of Agriculture and the DoD, as
well as regulatory authorities in Canada.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMERCIALIZATION RISKS

The COVID-19 product candidates we are

working on for our CDMO customers may not be
safe or effective and even if they are, we may be
unable to manufacture sufficient quantities to meet
demand.

We are providing CDMO services for the
development and/or manufacture of multiple vaccine
and therapeutic product candidates. There can be no
assurance that any of these product candidates will
be safe or effective. There can also be no assurance
that any of these product candidates will be
authorized for emergency use or approved by the
FDA or any other health regulatory authority or that
our facilities will receive authorization from the
FDA to release additional batches of COVID-19
drug substance. Even if these product candidates are
safe and/or effective and receive authorization or
approval by a health regulatory authority or we
receive authorization to produce drug substance at
our facilities, the manufacturing processes for our
CDMO COVID-19 programs are under development
and are complex. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to produce any significant quantity of
these product candidates in a timely basis or at all, or
negotiate further commitments under our existing
CDMO contracts to manufacture vaccines against
COVID-19, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, operating results and
cash flows.

Our growth depends on our success in

developing and commercializing our product
candidates. If we are unable to commercialize these
product candidates, or experience significant delays
or unanticipated costs in doing so, our business
would be materially and adversely affected.

We have invested significant efforts and
financial resources in the development of our
vaccines, therapeutics and medical device product
candidates and the acquisition of additional product
candidates. In addition to our product sales, our
ability to generate revenue is dependent on a number
of factors, including the success of our development
programs, the USG’s interest in providing
development funding for or procuring certain of our
product candidates, and the commercial viability of
our acquired or developed product candidates. The

33

commercial success of our product candidates can
depend on many factors, including accomplishing
the following in an economical manner:

‰

‰
‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰
‰

successful development, formulation and
cGMP scale-up of manufacturing that
meets FDA or other foreign regulatory
requirements;
successful program partnering;
successful completion of clinical or non-
clinical development;
receipt of marketing approvals from the
FDA and equivalent foreign regulatory
authorities;
establishment of commercial manufacturing
processes and product supply arrangements;
training of a commercial sales force for the
product;
successful registration and maintenance of
relevant patent and/or other proprietary
protection;
competitive pricing and market access; and
acceptance of the product by potential
government and other customers.

Clinical trials of product candidates are
expensive and time-consuming, and their outcome is
uncertain. We must invest substantial amounts of
time and financial resources in these trials, which
may not yield viable products. Failure to obtain
regulatory approval for product candidates,
particularly in the United States, could materially
and adversely affect our financial resources, which
would adversely affect our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

Before obtaining regulatory approval of our

product candidates, we and our collaborative
partners, where applicable, must conduct pre-clinical
studies and clinical trials to establish proof of
concept and demonstrate the safety and efficacy of
our product candidates. Pre-clinical and clinical
testing is expensive, difficult to design and
implement, can take many years to complete and is
uncertain as to outcome. Success in pre-clinical
testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that
later clinical trials will be successful, and interim
results of such trials do not necessarily predict final
results. An unexpected result in one or more of our
clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing.

Pre-clinical and clinical testing for certain of
our MCM product candidates may face additional
difficulties and uncertainties because they cannot
ethically or feasibly be tested in human subjects.
We therefore expect to rely on the Animal Rule to
obtain regulatory approval for some of our MCM
product candidates. The Animal Rule permits, for
certain limited diseases and circumstances, the use
of animal efficacy studies, together with human
clinical safety and immunogenicity trials, to
support an application for marketing approval. For
a product approved under the Animal Rule, certain
additional post-marketing requirements apply. For
example, to the extent feasible and ethical,
applicants must conduct post-marketing studies,
such as field studies, to verify and describe the
drug’s clinical benefit and to assess its safety when
used as indicated. It is possible that results from the
animal efficacy studies used to support approval
under the Animal Rule may not be predictive of the
actual efficacy of our product candidates in
humans.

Prior to FDA approval of certain MCM product

candidates, the Secretary of HHS can contract to
purchase MCMs for the SNS under Project
BioShield under specific circumstances. Under
PAHPRA, the USG may also, at its discretion,
purchase critical biodefense products for the SNS
prior to FDA approval after the filing of a pre-EUA
application with the FDA. If our MCM product
candidates are not procured or funded under Project
BioShield, or do not qualify for EUA, they generally
will have to be fully approved by the FDA through
traditional regulatory mechanisms prior to sale and
distribution in the United States.

We may experience unforeseen events or issues
during, or as a result of, pre-clinical testing, clinical
trials or animal efficacy studies. These issues and
events, which could delay or prevent our ability to
receive regulatory approval for a product candidate,
include, among others:

‰

‰

‰

our inability to manufacture sufficient
quantities for use in trials;
the unavailability or variability in the
number and types of subjects for each
study;
safety issues or inconclusive or incomplete
testing, trial or study results;

34

‰
‰

‰

‰

drug immunogenicity;
lack of efficacy of product candidates
during the trials;
government or regulatory restrictions or
delays; and
greater than anticipated costs of trials.

We may fail to select or capitalize on the most
scientifically, clinically or commercially promising
or profitable product candidates.

We continue to evaluate our product

development strategy and, as a result, may modify
our strategy in the future. In this regard, we may,
from time to time, focus our product development
efforts on different product candidates or may delay
or halt the development of various product
candidates. We may change or refocus our existing
product development, commercialization and
manufacturing activities based on government
funding decisions. This could require changes in our
facilities and our personnel. Any product
development changes that we implement may not be
successful. In particular, we may fail to select or
capitalize on the most scientifically, clinically or
commercially promising or profitable product
candidates or choose candidates for which
government development funds are not available.
Our decisions to allocate our R&D, management and
financial resources toward particular product
candidates or therapeutic areas may not lead to the
development of viable commercial products and
may divert resources from better business
opportunities. Similarly, our decisions to delay or
terminate product development programs may also
prove to be incorrect and could cause us to miss
valuable opportunities.

GLOBAL PANDEMIC RISK

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic could
have a material adverse impact on our business,
results of operations and financial performance.

Our business, operations and financial

condition and results have been and may continue to
be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to varying
degrees. The pandemic has presented a number of
risks and challenges for our business, including,
among others, government-mandated work-from-
home or shelter-in-place orders; manufacturing

35

disruptions and delays, including at our Baltimore
Bayview facility, supply chain interruptions or
delays, including challenges related to reliance on
third-party suppliers; disruptions to pipeline
development and clinical trials and decreased
product demand for our travel health vaccines due to
the significant reduction in international travel.
Additional travel restrictions and other governmental
measures may result in further disruptions or
continued delays in delivery of supplies by our third-
party contractors and suppliers.

We also face uncertainties related to our efforts
and those of our collaborative partners to develop a
potential treatment or vaccine for COVID-19,
including uncertainties related to pre-clinical or
clinical trials, the risk that such development
programs may not be successful, commercially
viable, or that EUA or regulatory approval will not
be received from regulatory authorities.

In addition, the trading price of our common

stock, and that of other biopharmaceutical
companies, has been highly volatile due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, especially as a result of
investor concerns and uncertainty related to the
impact of the pandemic on the economies of
countries worldwide. These broad market and
industry fluctuations, as well as general economic,
political and market conditions, may negatively
impact the market price of shares of our common
stock.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly

evolve. The extent to which the pandemic and
variants of COVID-19 further negatively impact our
business, affect the supply chain, disrupt key clinical
trials, divert government funding away from our
primary procured products and product candidates
due to changes in government priorities and
potential delays in the delivery of products to our
customers will depend on future developments,
which are highly uncertain. The ultimate geographic
spread of COVID-19 and new variants of the
disease, the duration of the pandemic, further travel
restrictions and social distancing in the United States
and other countries, business closures or business
disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in
the United States and other countries to contain and
treat the disease cannot be predicted with certainty.

The continually evolving nature of the

COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting public health
response, including the changing demand for various
COVID-19 vaccines and treatments from both
patients and governments around the world, may
affect the demand for COVID-19 product candidates
manufactured by our CDMO business.

Through our CDMO business, we provide
services for a variety of product candidates intended
for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and its
symptoms and effects. These services include
product development, the manufacture of bulk drug
substance and drug product fill and finish services.

None of the COVID-19-related product
candidates we develop and manufacture have yet to
receive full regulatory approval from any regulatory
authority, although some are being offered and sold
pursuant to an EUA from the FDA or the equivalent
authorization from non-U.S. regulatory authorities.
Should the facilities producing these product
candidates be denied an EUA or one or more of
these COVID-19-related product candidates be
denied an EUA (or equivalent) or be denied full
regulatory approval by the FDA or other major
non-U.S. regulatory authority, the demand for such
product candidates could decrease significantly and
therefore decrease customer orders for additional
CDMO services for such product candidates.
Additionally, the need for continued manufacture
and supply of vaccines (including potential
“booster” doses) and therapies to address the
COVID-19 pandemic, including new and developing
variants of COVID-19, is highly uncertain and
subject to various political, economic and regulatory
factors that are outside of our control. Should the
United States or other major regions worldwide
determine that additional manufacturing of
COVID-19 vaccines, boosters, or therapies is no
longer necessary, or necessary to a lesser degree, it
could adversely affect our revenue and financial
condition and our ability to grow our CDMO
business in the near term. In addition, highly-public
political and social debate relating to the need for,
efficacy of, or side effects related to one or more
specific COVID-19 vaccines could contribute to
changes in public perception of COVID-19 vaccines
manufactured by us, which could decrease demand
for a COVID-19 related product candidate we
develop or manufacture (in whole or in part).

The impact of COVID-19 may further impede

our employees’ ability to work and may result in
reduced production or services.

One of the significant areas of impact of
COVID-19 on our business has been the disruption
of our employees’ ability to work effectively. A
significant number of our administrative employees
continue to work from home due to policies
necessitated by COVID-19. Working remotely could
increase our cybersecurity risk, create data
accessibility concerns, and make us more susceptible
to communication disruptions, any of which could
adversely impact our business operations. In
addition, our on-site staff conducting R&D may not
be able to access our laboratories if conditions
worsen, due to COVID-19 variants, state and local
restrictions, and these core activities may be
significantly limited or curtailed, possibly for
extended periods of time.

Inadequate funding for the FDA, the SEC and

other government agencies, including from the
COVID-19 pandemic and government shutdowns, or
other disruptions to these agencies’ operations,
could hinder their ability to hire and retain key
leadership and other personnel, prevent new
products and services from being developed or
commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise
prevent those agencies from performing normal
business functions on which the operation of our
business may rely, which could negatively impact
our business.

The ability of the FDA to review and approve

new products can be affected by a variety of factors,
including government budget and funding levels,
ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept
the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory
and policy changes. Average review times at the
agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result.
Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also
slow the time necessary for new product candidates
to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary
government agencies, which would adversely affect
our business. In addition, government funding of the
SEC and other government agencies on which our
operations may rely, including those that fund
research and development activities, is subject to the
political process, which is inherently fluid and
unpredictable.

36

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, since
March 2020 when foreign and domestic inspections
of facilities were largely placed on hold, the FDA
has been working to resume routine surveillance,
bioresearch monitoring and pre-approval inspections
on a prioritized basis. The FDA has developed a
rating system to assist in determining when and
where it is safest to conduct prioritized domestic
inspections. As of May 2021, certain inspections,
such as foreign preapproval, surveillance, and
for-cause inspections that are not deemed mission-
critical, remain temporarily postponed. In April
2021, the FDA issued guidance for industry formally
announcing plans to employ remote interactive
evaluations, using risk management methods, to
meet user fee commitments and goal dates and in
May 2021 announced plans to continue progress
toward resuming standard operational levels. Should
the FDA determine that an inspection is necessary
for approval and an inspection cannot be completed
during the review cycle due to restrictions on travel,
and the FDA does not determine a remote interactive
evaluation to be adequate, the FDA has stated that it
generally intends to issue a complete response letter
or defer action on the application until an inspection
can be completed.

As of May 26, 2021, the FDA noted it was
continuing to ensure timely reviews of applications
for medical products during the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic in line with its user fee performance goals
and conducting mission critical domestic and foreign
inspections to ensure compliance of manufacturing
facilities with FDA quality standards. However, the
FDA may not be able to continue its current pace
and review timelines could be extended, including
where a pre-approval inspection or an inspection of
clinical sites is required and due to the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, the
FDA is unable to complete such required inspections
during the review period. If such disruption
continues, it could significantly impact the ability of
the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory
submissions, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISKS

There are a number of complex laws and
regulations that pertain to government contracts and
compliance with those laws and regulations require
significant time and cost, which could have a

material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

As a manufacturer and supplier of MCMs to the

USG addressing PHTs, we must comply with
numerous laws and regulations relating to the
procurement, formation, administration and
performance of government contracts. These laws
and regulations govern how we transact business
with our government clients and, in some instances,
impose additional costs and related obligations on
our business operations. For a detailed description of
the most significant regulations that affect our
government contracting business, see the prior
discussion under “Regulation - Government
Contracting.”

We may be subject to government
investigations of compliance with government
acquisition regulations. USG agencies routinely
audit and investigate government contractors for
compliance with applicable laws and standards.
Even though we take significant precautions to
identify, prevent and deter fraud, misconduct and
non-compliance, we face the risk that our personnel
or outside partners may engage in misconduct, fraud
or improper activities. If we are audited or
investigated and such audit or investigation were to
uncover improper or illegal activities, we could be
subject to civil and criminal fines and penalties,
administrative sanctions, including suspension or
debarment from government contracting, and suffer
significant reputational harm. The loss of our status
as an eligible government contractor or significant
fines or penalties associated with contract
non-compliance or resulting from investigations
could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our long-term success depends, in part, upon
our ability to develop, receive regulatory approval
for and commercialize product candidates we
develop or acquire and, if we are not successful, our
business, financial condition, operating results and
cash flows may suffer.

Our product candidates and the activities
associated with them are subject to extensive FDA
regulation and oversight, as well as oversight by
other regulatory agencies in the United States and by
comparable authorities in other countries. This
includes, but is not limited to, laws and regulations
governing product development, including testing,

37

manufacturing, record keeping, storage and
approval, as well as advertising and promotion. In
limited circumstances, governments may procure
products that have not obtained regulatory approval.
In all other circumstances, failure to obtain
regulatory approval for a product candidate will
prevent us from selling and commercializing the
product candidate.

In the United States, to obtain approval from
the FDA to market and sell any of our future drug,
biologic, or vaccine products, we will be required to
submit an NDA or BLA to the FDA. Ordinarily, the
FDA requires a company to support an NDA or
BLA with substantial evidence of the product
candidate’s effectiveness, safety, purity and potency
in treating the targeted indication based on data
derived from adequate and well-controlled clinical
trials, including Phase 3 trials conducted in patients
with the disease or condition being targeted.

However, many of our MCM product
candidates, for example, may take advantage of a
different regulatory approval pathway under the
FDA’s “Animal Rule.” Under the Animal Rule,
efficacy must be demonstrated, in part, by utilizing
animal models rather than testing in humans. We
cannot guarantee that the FDA will permit us to
proceed with licensure of any of our MCM product
candidates under the Animal Rule. Even if we are
able to proceed under the Animal Rule, product
development can take a considerable amount of
time, and the FDA may decide that our data are
insufficient to support approval and require
additional pre-clinical, clinical or other studies,
refuse to approve our products, or place restrictions
on our ability to commercialize those products.
Furthermore, products approved under the Animal
Rule are subject to certain additional post-marketing
requirements. We cannot guarantee that we will be
able to meet this regulatory requirement even if one
or more of our product candidates are approved
under the Animal Rule.

The process of obtaining these regulatory
approvals is expensive, often takes many years if
approval is obtained at all, and can vary substantially
based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the
product candidate involved. Changes in the
regulatory approval process may cause delays in the
approval or rejection of an application. There is a
high rate of failure inherent in this process, and

38

potential products that appear promising at early
stages of development may fail for a number of
reasons, and positive results from pre-clinical studies
may not be predictive of similar results in human
clinical trials. Similarly, promising results from
earlier clinical trials of a product candidate may not
be replicated in later clinical trials.

There are many other difficulties and

uncertainties inherent in pharmaceutical R&D that
could significantly delay or otherwise materially
delay our ability to develop future product
candidates, mostly related to clinical trials.

Failure to successfully develop future product

candidates may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition, operating results and
cash flows.

Once an NDA or BLA is submitted, the FDA
has substantial discretion and may refuse to accept
any application or may decide that our data are
insufficient to support approval and require
additional pre-clinical, clinical or other studies.

Unapproved and investigational stage products

are also subject to the FDA’s laws and regulations
governing advertising and promotion, which prohibit
the promotion of both unapproved products and
unapproved uses of approved products. There is
some risk that the FDA could conclude that our
communications relating to unapproved products or
unapproved uses of approved products constitute the
promotion of an unapproved product or product use
in violation of FDA laws and regulations. There is
also a risk that a regulatory authority in another
country could take a similar position under that
country’s laws and regulations and conclude that we
have violated the laws and regulations related to
product development, approval, or promotion in that
country. Therefore, there is a risk that we could be
subject to enforcement actions if found to be in
violation of such laws or regulations.

Even if we or our collaborators obtain

marketing approvals for our product candidates, the
conditions of approvals and ongoing regulation of
our products may limit how we manufacture, market
and sell our products, which could materially impair
our ability to generate revenue.

Once approval has been granted, an approved
product and its manufacturer and marketer remain
subject to ongoing review and extensive regulation.

We and our collaborators must therefore
comply with requirements concerning advertising
and promotion for any of our product candidates for
which we obtain marketing approval. Promotional
communications with respect to FDA-regulated
products are subject to a variety of legal and
regulatory restrictions and must be consistent with
the information in the product’s approved labeling.
Thus, we will not be able to sell any products we
develop for indications or uses for which they are
not approved.

If we and our collaborators are not able to
comply with post-approval regulatory requirements,
we could have the marketing approvals for our
products withdrawn by regulatory authorities and
our ability to market and sell any products could be
limited, which could adversely affect our ability to
achieve or sustain profitability. Further, the cost of
compliance with post-approval regulations may have
a negative effect on our operating results and
financial condition.

Any product candidate for which we or our
collaborators obtain marketing approval could be
subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market
and we may be subject to substantial penalties if we
fail to comply with regulatory requirements or if we
experience unanticipated problems with our product
candidates, when and if any of them are approved.

Any product candidate for which we or our
collaborators obtain marketing approval, along with
the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical
data, labeling, advertising and promotional activities
for such product, will be subject to continual
requirements of and review by the FDA and other
regulatory authorities. These requirements include
submissions of safety and other post-marketing
information and reports, registration and listing
requirements, cGMP requirements relating to quality
control and manufacturing, quality assurance and
corresponding maintenance of records and
documents, and requirements regarding the
distribution of samples to physicians and
recordkeeping. Even if marketing approval of a
product candidate is granted, the approval may be
subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which

39

the product may be marketed or to the conditions of
approval, or contain requirements for costly post-
marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the
safety or efficacy of the medicine.

Certain of our products are subject to post
marketing requirements (PMRs), which we are
required to conduct, and post marketing
commitments (PMCs), which we have agreed to
conduct. The FDA has the authority to take action
against sponsors who fail to meet the obligations of
a PMR, including civil monetary penalties and/or
misbranding charges.

The FDA and other agencies, including the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) and the HHS Office of
Inspector General (OIG), closely regulate and
monitor the pre-approval and post-approval
marketing and promotion of products to ensure that
they are marketed and distributed only for the
approved indications and in accordance with the
provisions of the approved labeling. The FDA, DOJ,
and OIG impose stringent restrictions on
manufacturers’ communications regarding
unapproved products and unapproved uses of
approved products and if we market unapproved
products or market our approved products for
unapproved indications, we may be subject to
enforcement action. Violations of the FDCA and
other statutes, including the False Claims Act,
relating to the promotion and advertising of
prescription products may lead to investigations and
enforcement actions alleging violations of federal
and state health care fraud and abuse laws, as well as
state consumer protection laws.

In addition, later discovery of previously
unknown adverse events or other problems with our
products, manufacturing partners or manufacturing
processes, or failure to comply with regulatory
requirements, may result in various penalties and
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 such 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;
‰

refusal to approve pending applications or
supplements to approved applications that
are submitted;
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
injunctions or the imposition of civil or
criminal penalties.

Non-compliance with EU requirements
regarding safety monitoring or pharmacovigilance,
and with requirements related to the development of
products for the pediatric population, can also result
in significant financial penalties. Similarly, failure to
comply with the EU and other legal and regulatory
requirements regarding the protection of personal
information can also lead to significant penalties and
sanctions. Non-compliance with similar requirements
in other foreign jurisdictions can also result in
enforcement actions and significant penalties.

Current and future legislation may increase the

difficulty and cost for us and any collaborators to
obtain marketing approval of and commercialize our
product candidates and affect the prices we, or they,
may obtain.

In the United States and foreign jurisdictions,
there have been a number of legislative and regulatory
changes and proposed changes regarding the health
care system that could prevent or delay marketing
approval of our product candidates, restrict or regulate
post-approval activities and affect our ability to
profitably sell any product candidates for which we
obtain marketing approval. We expect that current
laws, as well as other health care reform measures
that may be adopted in the future, may result in more
rigorous coverage criteria and additional downward
pressure on the price that we, or any collaborators,
may receive for any approved products.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care

Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education
Affordability Reconciliation Act (collectively, the
ACA), passed in 2010 substantially changed the way
health care is financed by both governmental and
private insurers, and significantly impacted the U.S.
biopharmaceutical industry. However, some
provisions of the ACA have yet to be fully
implemented and certain provisions have been
subject to legal and political challenges, as well as
efforts by the last Presidential administration to
repeal or replace certain aspects of the ACA. On
January 28, 2021, however, the President issued an
executive order to strengthen implementation of the
ACA. Concurrently, Congress considered legislation
that would repeal or repeal and replace all or part of
the ACA. While Congress has not passed
comprehensive repeal legislation, it has enacted laws
that modify certain provisions of the ACA, such as
removing penalties as of January 1, 2019 for not
complying with the ACA’s individual mandate to
carry health insurance, delaying the implementation
of certain ACA-mandated fees, and increasing the
point-of-sale discount that is owed by
pharmaceutical manufacturers who participate in
Medicare Part D. On June 17, 2021, the U.S.
Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial
challenge to the ACA brought by several states
without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of
the ACA. Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, the
current Presidential administration issued an
executive order initiating a special enrollment period
during 2021 for purposes of obtaining health
insurance coverage through the ACA marketplace.
The executive order also instructed certain
governmental agencies to review and reconsider
their existing policies and rules that limit access to
healthcare. It is unclear how healthcare reform
measures enacted by Congress or implemented by
the current Presidential administration or other
challenges to the ACA, if any, will impact the ACA
or our business.

In addition, other legislative changes have been
proposed and adopted in the United States since the
ACA was enacted that may negatively impact us. On
August 2, 2011, the Budget Control Act of 2011,
among other things, created measures for spending
reductions by Congress. A Joint Select Committee
on Deficit Reduction, tasked with recommending a
targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for
the years 2013 through 2021, was unable to reach

required goals, thereby triggering the legislation’s
automatic reduction to several government
programs. This includes aggregate reductions of
Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per
fiscal year. These reductions went into effect on
April 1, 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative
amendments to the statute, will remain in effect
through 2031 under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. These
Medicare sequester reductions have been suspended
through the end of March 2022. From April 2022
through June 2022 a 1% sequester cut will be in
effect, with the full 2% cut resuming thereafter.

Additionally, there has been recent heightened

federal governmental scrutiny over the manner in
which manufacturers set prices for their marketed
products. For example, there have been several
recent Congressional inquiries and has been
proposed and enacted federal and state legislation
designed to, among other things, bring more
transparency to drug pricing, review the relationship
between pricing and manufacturer patient programs,
and reform government program reimbursement
methodologies for drug products. For example, the
last Presidential administration released a
“Blueprint”, or plan, to lower drug prices and reduce
out of pocket costs of drugs that contains additional
proposals to increase drug manufacturer
competition, increase the negotiating power of
certain federal healthcare programs, incentivize
manufacturers to lower the list price of their
products, and reduce the out-of-pocket costs of drug
products paid by consumers.

For example, in October 2020, HHS and the
FDA published a final rule allowing states and other
entities to develop a Section 804 Importation
Program, or SIP, to import certain prescription drugs
from Canada into the United States. The final rule is
currently the subject of ongoing litigation, but at
least six states (Vermont, Colorado, Florida, Maine,
New Mexico, and New Hampshire) have passed
laws allowing for the importation of drugs from
Canada with the intent of developing SIPs for
review and approval by the FDA.

Further, on July 9, 2021, the President signed
Executive Order 14063, which focuses on, among
other things, the price of pharmaceuticals. The Order
directs HHS to create a plan within 45 days to

combat “excessive pricing of prescription
pharmaceuticals and enhance domestic
pharmaceutical supply chains, to reduce the prices
paid by the federal government for such
pharmaceuticals, and to address the recurrent
problem of price gouging.” On September 9, 2021,
HHS released its plan to reduce pharmaceutical
prices. The key features of that plan are to: (a) make
pharmaceutical prices more affordable and equitable
for all consumers; (b) improve and promote
competition throughout the prescription
pharmaceutical industry; and (c) foster scientific
innovation to promote better healthcare and improve
health by supporting public and private research and
making sure that market incentives promote
discovery of valuable and accessible new treatments.

At the state level, individual states are
increasingly aggressive in passing legislation and
implementing regulations designed to control
pharmaceutical and biological product pricing,
including price or patient reimbursement constraints,
discounts, restrictions on certain product access and
marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures,
and, in some cases, designed to encourage
importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.
A number of states, for example, require drug
manufacturers and other entities in the drug supply
chain, including health carriers, pharmacy benefit
managers, wholesale distributors, to disclose
information about pricing of pharmaceuticals. In
addition, regional health care authorities and
individual hospitals are increasingly using bidding
procedures to determine what pharmaceutical
products and which suppliers will be included in their
prescription drug and other health care programs.
These measures could reduce the ultimate demand for
our products, once approved, or put pressure on our
product pricing. We expect that additional state and
federal health care reform measures will be adopted in
the future, any of which could limit the amounts that
federal and state governments will pay for health care
products and services, which could result in reduced
demand for our product candidates or additional
pricing pressures.

If we fail to comply with foreign, federal, state
and local health care laws, including fraud and abuse
and health information privacy and security laws, and
antitrust laws, we could face substantial penalties and
our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

41

In the United States, 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. Federal and
state laws designed to prevent fraud and abuse under
these programs prohibit pharmaceutical companies
from offering valuable items or services to
customers or potential customers to induce them to
buy, prescribe, or recommend our product (the
so-called “anti-kickback” laws). Exceptions are
provided for discounts and certain other
arrangements if specified requirements are met.
Other federal and state laws, and similar foreign
laws, not only prohibit us from submitting any false
information to government reimbursement programs
but also prohibit us, our employees, or any third
party acting on our behalf from doing anything to
cause, assist, or encourage our customers to submit
false claims for payment to these programs. We are
also subject to various federal, state and foreign
antitrust and competition laws that prohibit certain
activities that may have an impact against potential
competitors. Violations of the various fraud and
abuse and antitrust laws may result in severe
penalties against the responsible employees and us,
including jail sentences, large fines, and the
exclusion of our products from reimbursement under
federal and state programs. Some of the laws that
may affect our ability to operate include:

‰

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute makes it
illegal for any person or entity, including a
prescription drug manufacturer (or a party
acting on its behalf) to knowingly and
willfully solicit, receive, offer or pay
remuneration, directly or indirectly, overtly
or covertly, to induce, or in return for,
either the referral of an individual, or the
purchase, lease, prescribing or
recommendation of an item, good, facility
or service reimbursable by a federally
funded health care program, such as the
Medicare or Medicaid program. The term
“remuneration” has been interpreted
broadly and may constrain our marketing
practices, educational programs, pricing
policies and relationships with health care
providers or other entities, among other
activities;

42

‰

‰

the federal False Claims Act imposes
criminal and civil penalties, including
through civil whistleblower or qui tam
actions, against individuals or entities for,
among other things, knowingly presenting,
or causing to be presented, false or
fraudulent claims for payment by a federal
health care program or making a false
statement or record material to payment of a
false claim or avoiding, decreasing or
concealing an obligation to pay money to the
federal government, with potential liability,
including mandatory treble damages and
significant per-claim penalties.

the U.S. federal Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
(HIPAA), which imposes criminal and civil
liability for, among other things, knowingly
and willfully executing, or attempting to
execute, a scheme to defraud any health
care benefit program or obtain, by means of
false or fraudulent pretenses,
representations, or promises, any of the
money or property owned by, or under the
custody or control of, any health care
benefit program, regardless of the payor
(e.g., public or private) and knowingly and
willfully falsifying, concealing or covering
up by any trick or device a material fact or
making any materially false statement, in
connection with the delivery of, or payment
for, health care benefits, items or services.
A person or entity does not need to have
actual knowledge of the statute or specific
intent to violate it in order to have
committed a violation;

‰ HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, and their

respective implementing regulations
mandates, among other things, the adoption
of uniform standards for the electronic
exchange of information in common health
care transactions, as well as standards
relating to the privacy, security and
transmission of individually identifiable
health information, which require the
adoption of administrative, physical and
technical safeguards to protect such
information. Among other things, HITECH
makes HIPAA’s security standards directly
applicable to “business associates,” or

‰

‰

independent contractors or agents of
covered entities that create, receive or
obtain protected health information in
connection with providing a service for or
on behalf of a covered entity;

the Physician Payments Sunshine Act and
its implementing regulations require certain
manufacturers of drugs, biologics, medical
devices and medical supplies for which
payment is available under Medicare,
Medicaid or the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) to report certain
payments and transfers of value made to
U.S. physicians, other healthcare providers
and teaching hospitals, and ownership or
investment interests held by physicians,
other healthcare providers and their
immediate family members; and

state law equivalents of each of the above
federal laws, such as anti-kickback and
false claims laws, which may apply to items
or services reimbursed by any third-party
payor, including commercial insurers; state
and foreign laws governing the privacy and
security of health information in certain
circumstances, many of which differ from
each other in significant ways and may not
have the same effect, thus complicating
compliance efforts; state, local and foreign
laws that require pharmaceutical companies
to comply with the pharmaceutical
industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines
and the relevant compliance guidance
promulgated by the federal government,
obtain pharmaceutical agent licensure, and/
or otherwise restrict payments that may be
made to health care providers and entities;
and state, local and foreign laws that
require drug manufacturers to report
information related to payments and other
transfers of value to health care providers
or entities, or marketing expenditures.

Because of the breadth of these laws and the

narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe
harbors available under the federal Anti-Kickback
Statute, it is possible that some of our business
activities could be subject to challenges under one or
more of such laws. Moreover, recent health care

43

reform legislation has strengthened these laws. For
example, the ACA, among other things, amends the
intent requirement of the federal Anti-Kickback
Statute and criminal health care fraud statutes, so that
a person or entity no longer needs to have actual
knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate
it. In addition, the ACA provides that the government
may assert that a claim including items or services
resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-
Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent
claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

If our operations are found to be in violation of

any of the laws described above or otherwise, we
may be subject to penalties, including civil and
criminal penalties, damages, fines, individual
imprisonment, integrity obligations, exclusion from
funded health care programs and the curtailment or
restructuring of our operations. Any such penalties
could adversely affect our financial results. We
continue to improve our corporate compliance
program designed to ensure that our development,
marketing, and sales of existing and future products
and product candidates are in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations, but we cannot
guarantee that this program will protect us from
governmental investigations or other actions or
lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with
such laws or regulations. If any such actions are
instituted against us and we are not successful in
defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those
actions could have a significant impact on our
business, including the imposition of significant
fines or other sanctions.

Efforts to ensure that our business

arrangements with third parties will comply with
health care laws and regulations will involve
substantial costs. It is possible that governmental
authorities will conclude that our business practices
may not comply with current or future statutes,
regulations or case law involving fraud and abuse or
other health care laws and regulations. If our
operations are found to be in violation of any of
these laws, we may be subject to significant civil,
criminal and administrative penalties, damages,
fines, individual imprisonment, integrity obligations,
exclusion from government funded health care
programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the
curtailment or restructuring of our operations. If a
third party fails to comply with applicable laws and
regulations while acting on our behalf, we may also
be subject to criminal, civil, and administrative
penalties, including those listed above.

We are committed to conducting the

development, marketing and sale of our applicable
products and product candidates and all of our
activities in compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations, but certain applicable laws and
regulations may impose liability even in the absence
of specific intent to defraud. Furthermore, should an
employee or third party acting on our behalf violate
these laws without our knowledge, a governmental
authority may impose civil and/or criminal sanctions
on us.

The United States government, state

governments and private payors regularly investigate
the pricing and competitive practices of
pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology
companies, and many file actions alleging that
inaccurate reporting of prices has improperly
inflated reimbursement rates. We may also be
subject to investigations related to our pricing
practices. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome,
these types of investigations and related litigation
can result in:

‰ Diversion of management time and

attention;

‰

‰

Significant legal fees and payment of
damages or penalties;

Limitations on our ability to continue
certain operations;

‰ Decreased product demand; and
‰

Injury to our reputation.

Moreover, an adverse outcome, or the
imposition of penalties or sanctions for failing to
comply with the fraud and abuse and antitrust laws,
could adversely affect us and may have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.

If we fail to comply with our obligations under

U.S. governmental pricing programs, we could be
required to reimburse government programs for
underpayments and could pay penalties, sanctions
and fines.

The issuance of regulations and coverage
expansion by various governmental agencies relating
to the Medicaid rebate program will continue to
increase our costs and the complexity of compliance
and will be time-consuming. Changes to the

44

definition of average manufacturer price (AMP), and
the Medicaid rebate amount under the ACA and
CMS and the issuance of final regulations
implementing those changes has affected and could
further affect our 340B “ceiling price” calculations.
Because we participate in the Medicaid rebate
program, we are required to report average sales
price (ASP), information to CMS for certain
categories of drugs that are paid for under Part B of
the Medicare program. Future statutory or regulatory
changes or CMS binding guidance could affect the
ASP calculations for our products and the resulting
Medicare payment rate and could negatively impact
our results of operations.

Pricing and rebate calculations vary among

products and programs, involve complex
calculations and are often subject to interpretation by
us, governmental or regulatory agencies and the
courts. The Medicaid rebate amount is computed
each quarter based on our submission to CMS of our
current AMP and “best price” for the quarter. If we
become aware that our reporting for a prior quarter
was incorrect, or has changed as a result of
recalculation of the pricing data, we are obligated to
resubmit the corrected data for a period not to
exceed twelve quarters from the quarter in which the
data originally were due. Any such revisions could
have the impact of increasing or decreasing our
rebate liability for prior quarters, depending on the
direction of the revision. Such restatements and
recalculations would increase our costs for
complying with the laws and regulations governing
the Medicaid rebate program. Price recalculations
also may affect the “ceiling price” at which we are
required to offer our products to certain covered
entities, such as safety-net providers, under the
340B/Public Health Service (PHS) drug pricing
program.

In addition, if we are found to have made a

misrepresentation in the reporting of ASP, we are
subject to civil monetary penalties for each such
price misrepresentation and for each day in which
such price misrepresentation was applied. If we are
found to have knowingly submitted false AMP or
“best price” information to the government, we may
be liable for civil monetary penalties per item of
false information. Any refusal of a request for
information or knowing provision of false
information in connection with an AMP survey
verification would also subject us to civil monetary

penalties. In addition, our failure to submit monthly/
quarterly AMP or “best price” information on a
timely basis could result in a civil monetary penalty
per day for each day the information is late beyond
the due date. Such failure could also be grounds for
CMS to terminate our Medicaid drug rebate
agreement, under which we participate in the
Medicaid program. In the event that CMS terminates
our rebate agreement, no federal payments would be
available under Medicaid or Medicare Part B for our
covered outpatient drugs. Governmental agencies
may also make changes in program interpretations,
requirements or conditions of participation, some of
which may have implications for amounts
previously estimated or paid. We cannot assure that
our submissions will not be found by CMS to be
incomplete or incorrect.

In order for our products to be reimbursed by

the primary federal governmental programs, we
must report certain pricing data to the USG.
Compliance with reporting and other requirements
of these federal programs is a pre-condition to:
(i) the availability of federal funds to pay for our
products under Medicaid and Medicare Part B; and
(ii) procurement of our products by the Department
of Veterans Affairs (DVA), and by covered entities
under the 340B/PHS program. The pricing data
reported are used as the basis for establishing
Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), and 340B/PHS
program contract pricing and payment and rebate
rates under the Medicare Part B and Medicaid
programs, respectively. Pharmaceutical companies
have been prosecuted under federal and state false
claims laws for submitting inaccurate and/ or
incomplete pricing information to the government
that resulted in increased payments made by these
programs. Although we maintain and follow strict
procedures to ensure the maximum possible integrity
for our federal pricing calculations, the process for
making the required calculations is complex,
involves some subjective judgments and the risk of
errors always exists, which creates the potential for
exposure under the false claims laws. If we become
subject to investigations or other inquiries
concerning our compliance with price reporting laws
and regulations, and our methodologies for
calculating federal prices are found to include flaws
or to have been incorrectly applied, we could be
required to pay or be subject to additional
reimbursements, penalties, sanctions or fines, which

could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

To be eligible to have our products paid for

with federal funds under the Medicaid and
Medicare Part B programs and purchased by
certain federal agencies and grantees, we also must
participate in the DVA FSS pricing program. To
participate, we are required to enter into an FSS
contract with the DVA, under which we must make
our innovator “covered drugs” available to the “Big
Four” federal agencies-the DVA, the DoD, the PHS
(including the Indian Health Service), and the
Coast Guard-at pricing that is capped under a
statutory federal ceiling price (FCP) formula set
forth in Section 603 of the Veterans Health Care
Act of 1992 (VHCA). The FCP is based on a
weighted average wholesale price known as the
Non-Federal Average Manufacturer Price
(Non-FAMP), which manufacturers are required to
report on a quarterly and annual basis to the DVA.
Under the VHCA, knowingly providing false
information in connection with a Non-FAMP filing
can subject us to significant penalties for each item
of false information. If we overcharge the
government in connection with our FSS contract or
Section 703 Agreement, whether due to a misstated
FCP or otherwise, we are required to disclose the
error and refund the difference to the government.
The failure to make necessary disclosures and/or to
identify contract overcharges can result in
allegations against us under the False Claims Act
and other laws and regulations. Unexpected refunds
to the government, and responding to a government
investigation or enforcement action, can be
expensive and time- consuming, and could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and growth
prospects.

From time to time, we sell unapproved MCMs
to government entities under certain circumstances.
While this is permissible in some cases, the extent to
which we may be able to lawfully offer to sell and
sell unapproved products in many jurisdictions may
be unclear or ambiguous. Such sales could subject
us to regulatory enforcement action, product
liability and reputational risk.

Under certain circumstances, MCMs may be
procured by government entities prior to approval by
the FDA or other regulatory authorities, a practice
which we follow in connection with certain MCMs,

45

including AV7909 and TROBIGARD in the United
States. In the United States, Project BioShield permits
the Secretary of HHS to contract to purchase MCMs
for the SNS prior to FDA approval of the MCM in
specified circumstances. Project BioShield and the
Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness
Reauthorization Act of 2013 also allow the FDA
Commissioner to authorize the emergency use of
medical products that have not yet been approved by
the FDA under an EUA. An EUA terminates when
the emergency determination underlying the EUA
terminates. An EUA is not a long-term alternative to
obtaining FDA approval, licensure, or clearance for a
product. Absent an applicable exception, our MCM
product candidates generally will have to be approved
by the FDA or other regulatory authorities in the
relevant country through traditional pathways before
we can sell those products to governments.
Additionally, the laws in certain jurisdictions
regarding the ability of government entities to
purchase unapproved product candidates are
ambiguous, and the permissibility of exporting
unapproved products from the United States and
importing them to foreign countries may be unclear.
Nevertheless, government bodies, such as U.S. federal
entities other than HHS, state and local governments
within the United States, and foreign governments
have sought and may further seek to procure our
MCM product candidates that are not yet approved. If
so, we would expect to assess the permissibility and
liability implications of supplying our product
candidates to such entities on a case-by- case basis,
which presents certain challenges, both in the case of
U.S. and foreign governments, and particularly under
emergency conditions. In addition, agencies or
branches of one country’s government may take
different positions regarding the permissibility of such
sales than another country’s government or even other
agencies or branches of the same government. If local
enforcement authorities disagree with our conclusion
that such activities are permissible, they may take
enforcement action against us.

In addition, the sale of unapproved products
also could give rise to product liability claims for
which we may not be able to obtain indemnification
or insurance coverage. For example, liability
protections applicable to claims arising under U.S.
law and resulting from the use of certain unlicensed
or unauthorized products, such as a declaration
issued under the PREP Act, may lead plaintiffs to
assert that their claims are not barred under the
PREP Act.

Regardless of the permissibility and liability

risks, in the event a user of one or more of our
products suffers an adverse event, we may be subject
to additional reputational risk if the product has not
been approved by the FDA or the corresponding
regulatory authority of another country, particularly
because we will not have approved labeling
regarding the safety or efficacy of those products. In
addition, legislatures and other governmental bodies
that have oversight responsibility for procuring
agencies may raise concerns after the fact, even if
procurement was permissible at the time, which
could result in negative publicity, reputational risk
and harm to our business prospects.

There is also a risk that our communications
with governments about our unapproved products,
such as in the procurement context, could be
considered promotion of an unapproved product or
unapproved use of an approved product. Therefore,
there is a risk that we could be subject to
enforcement actions if found to be in violation of
such laws or regulations.

Even after regulatory approval is received, if

we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, or if
we experience unanticipated problems with our
approved products, they could be subject to
restrictions, penalties or withdrawal from the
market.

In addition to the requirements and

uncertainties related to the pre-approval activities
discussed previously, any vaccine, therapeutic
product or medical device for which we obtain
marketing approval, along with the manufacturing
processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling,
advertising and promotional activities for such
product, will be subject to the continual
requirements of and review by the FDA and other
regulatory bodies. Our approved products are subject
to these requirements and ongoing review. These
requirements include submissions of safety and
other post-marketing information and reports,
plasma donor testing, registration requirements,
cGMP, requirements relating to potency and
stability, quality control, quality assurance,
restrictions on advertising and promotion, import
and export restrictions and recordkeeping
requirements. In addition, various state laws require
that companies that manufacture and/or distribute
drug products within the state obtain and maintain a

46

manufacturer or distributor license, as appropriate.
Because of the breadth of these laws, it is possible
that some of our business activities could be subject
to challenge under one or more of such laws.

Government regulators enforce cGMP and

other requirements through periodic unannounced
inspections of manufacturing facilities. The FDA is
authorized to inspect domestic and foreign
manufacturing facilities without prior notice at
reasonable times and in a reasonable manner. Health
Canada may conduct similar inspections of our
domestic and foreign facilities where products
offered and sold in Canada are produced, or related
formulation and filling operations are conducted.
The FDA, Health Canada, and other foreign
regulatory agencies conduct periodic inspections of
our facilities. Following several of these inspections,
regulatory authorities have issued inspectional
observations, some of which were significant, but all
of which are being, or have been, addressed through
corrective actions. If, in connection with any future
inspection, regulatory authorities find that we are not
in substantial compliance with all applicable
requirements, or if they are not satisfied with the
corrective actions we take, our regulators may
undertake enforcement action against us, which may
include:

‰ warning letters and other communications;
‰
product seizure or withdrawal of the
product from the market;

‰

‰

‰

‰

restrictions on the marketing or
manufacturing of a product;

suspension or withdrawal of regulatory
approvals or refusal to approve pending
applications or supplements to approved
applications;

fines or disgorgement of profits or revenue;
and

injunctions or the imposition of civil or
criminal penalties.

Similar action may be taken against us should
we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, or
later discover previously unknown problems with
our products or manufacturing processes. For
instance, our products are tested regularly to
determine if they satisfy potency and stability
requirements for their required shelf lives. Failure to

meet potency, stability or other specification
requirements could result in delays in distributions,
recalls or other consequences. Even if regulatory
approval of a product is granted, the approval may
be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for
which the product may be marketed or sold or to the
conditions of approval. Regulatory approval may
also contain requirements for costly post-marketing
testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or
efficacy of the product. If we experience any of
these post-approval events, our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows could be
materially and adversely affected.

Additionally, companies may not promote

unapproved products or unapproved uses of
approved products (i.e. “off-label” uses or uses that
are not described in the product’s approved labeling
and that differ from the uses approved by the
applicable regulatory agencies). A company that is
found to have improperly promoted an unapproved
product or unapproved use of an approved product
may be subject to significant liability, including civil
and administrative remedies (such as entering into
corporate integrity agreements with the USG), as
well as criminal sanctions. If our employees or
agents engage in marketing of an unapproved
product or the unapproved use of an approved
product, we could be subject to civil or criminal
investigations and monetary and injunctive
penalties, which could adversely impact our ability
to conduct business in certain markets, negatively
affect our business, financial condition, operating
results and cash flows, and damage our reputation.

Failure to obtain or maintain regulatory
approval in international jurisdictions could prevent
us from marketing our products abroad and could
limit the growth of our business.

We currently sell certain of our products outside

the United States and intend to expand the countries
in which we sell our products and have received
market authorization under the mutual recognition
procedure to sell BioThrax in France, Italy, the
Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom. To
market or sell our products in foreign jurisdictions
under normal circumstances, we generally need to
obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with
numerous and varying requirements or use alternative
“emergency use” or other exemptions from general
approval and import requirements. Approval by the
FDA in the United States or the mutual recognition

47

procedure in the European member states does not
ensure approval by all foreign regulatory
authorities. The approval procedures in foreign
jurisdictions can vary widely and can involve
additional clinical trials and data review beyond
that required by the FDA or under the mutual
recognition procedure. There is also a risk that a
regulatory authority in another country could
conclude that we have violated the rules and
regulations related to product development,
approval or promotion in that country. Therefore,
there is a risk that we could be subject to a foreign
enforcement action if found to be in violation of
such laws and regulations. We and our
collaborators may not be able to obtain foreign
regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all, and
we may be unable to successfully commercialize
our products in desired jurisdictions internationally
if no alternate procurement pathway is identified
for authorized government customers in a
particular jurisdiction. We have limited experience
in preparing, filing and prosecuting the applications
necessary to gain foreign regulatory approvals and
expect to rely on third-party contract research
organizations and consultants to assist us in this
process. Our reliance on third parties can introduce
additional uncertainty into the process.

As of January 1, 2021, the Medicines and

Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (the
MHRA), became responsible for supervising
medicines and medical devices in Great Britain,
comprising England, Scotland and Wales under
domestic law, whereas Northern Ireland will
continue to be subject to European Union rules
under the Northern Ireland Protocol. The MHRA
will rely on the Human Medicines Regulations
2012 (SI 2012/1916) (as amended). or the HMR, as
the basis for regulating medicines. The HMR has
incorporated into the domestic law of the body of
European Union law instruments governing
medicinal products that pre-existed prior to the
United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European
Union. Any delay in obtaining, or an inability to
obtain, any marketing approvals, as a result of
Brexit or otherwise, may force us to restrict or
delay efforts to seek regulatory approval in the
United Kingdom for our product candidates, which
could significantly and materially harm our
business.

Laws and regulations governing international

operations may preclude us from developing,
manufacturing and selling certain products outside
of the United States and require us to develop and
implement costly compliance programs.

As we continue to expand our

commercialization activities outside of the
United States, we are subject to an increased risk of,
and must dedicate additional resources towards
avoiding inadvertently conducting activities in a
manner that violates the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, Canada’s
Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, and
other similar foreign laws, which prohibit
corporations and individuals from paying, offering
to pay, or authorizing the payment of anything of
value to any foreign government official,
government staff member, political party, or
political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain
business or to otherwise influence a person working
in an official capacity. The FCPA also obligates
companies whose securities are listed in the United
States to comply with certain accounting provisions
requiring the Company to maintain books and
records that accurately and fairly reflect all
transactions of the corporation, including
international subsidiaries, and to devise and maintain
an adequate system of internal accounting controls
for international operations. Compliance with the
FCPA is expensive and difficult, particularly in
countries in which corruption is a recognized
problem. In addition, the FCPA presents particular
challenges in the pharmaceutical industry, because,
in many countries, hospitals are operated by the
government, and doctors and other hospital
employees are considered foreign officials. Certain
payments to hospitals in connection with clinical
trials and other work have been deemed to be
improper payments to government officials and have
led to FCPA enforcement actions.

Many countries, including the United States,

also have various lobbying laws and regulations
governing the conduct of individuals and companies
who interact with government officials. These laws
and regulations typically include certain restrictions
and disclosure obligations. We believe we are
currently in compliance with such laws and
regulations. If we, our employees, or third parties
acting on our behalf do not comply with these laws
and regulations, we may be subject to civil and
criminal penalties.

48

Many countries, including the United States,
restrict the export or import of products to or from
certain countries through, for example, bans,
sanction programs, and boycotts. Such restrictions
may preclude us from supplying products in certain
countries, which could limit our growth potential.
Furthermore, if we, or third parties acting on our
behalf, do not comply with these restrictions, we
may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Various laws, regulations and executive orders
also restrict the use and dissemination outside of the
United States, or the sharing with certain non-U.S.
nationals, of information classified for national
security purposes, as well as certain products and
technical data relating to those products. If we
continue to expand our presence outside of the
United States, it will require us to dedicate
additional resources to comply with these laws, and
these laws may preclude us from developing,
manufacturing, or selling certain products and
product candidates outside of the United States,
which could limit our growth potential and increase
our development costs.

The failure to comply with laws governing

international business practices may result in
substantial civil and criminal penalties and
suspension or debarment from government
contracting. The SEC also may suspend or bar
issuers from trading securities on U.S. exchanges for
violations of the FCPA’s accounting provisions.

COMPETITIVE AND POLITICAL RISKS

Development and commercialization of
pharmaceutical products, including for PHT
preparedness, are routinely subject to evolving
private and public sector competition.

The development and commercialization of
new biopharmaceutical and medical technology
products is highly competitive and subject to rapid
technological advances. We may face future
competition from other companies and governments,
universities and other non-profit research
organizations in respect to our products, any
products that we acquire, our current product
candidates and any products we may seek to develop
or commercialize in the future. The market for
current products can be subject to development of
safer, more effective, more convenient or less costly

products. The market for current products can also
depend on what resources can be devoted to
marketing or selling products, or how companies are
positioned to adapt more quickly to new
technologies, respond to scientific advances or
patient preferences and needs, initiate or withstand
substantial price competition and/or procure third-
party licensing and collaborative arrangements.

There are a number of companies with products
or product candidates addressing PHT preparedness
that are competing with us for both USG
procurement and development resources. Factors to
consider include competitors’ financial, technical,
marketing and selling resources as well as potential
leverage that their intellectual property estates may
offer.

Any reduction in demand for our products or
reduction or loss of development funding for our
products or product candidates in favor of a
competing product could lead to a loss of market
share for our products and cause reduced revenues,
margins and levels of profitability for us, which
could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our Biologic Products may face risks of

competition from biosimilar manufacturers.

Biological products and product candidates,
otherwise referred to as our “Biologic Products,”
can be affected by the approval and entry of
“biosimilars” in the United States and other
jurisdictions. Biosimilar drugs are “highly similar,”
but close enough in duplication to accomplish the
same therapeutic and clinical result. Biologic
Products in our current pipeline include AV7909,
BioThrax, and ACAM2000. If a biosimilar version
of one of our Biologic Products were approved, it
could have a material adverse effect on the sales
and gross profits of the affected Biologic Product
and could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

NARCAN® (naloxone HCI) Nasal Spray is
currently subject to generic competition and may be
subject to additional branded and generic
competition in the future.

NARCAN currently faces generic competition.

In 2016, Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited

49

and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (collectively, Teva)
filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application
(ANDA) seeking regulatory approval to market a
generic version of NARCAN. In patent litigation
related to Teva’s ANDA filing, a trial Court decided
in favor of Teva, and this decision was subsequently
affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit.

On December 22, 2021, Teva commenced the
launch of their generic naloxone nasal spray. On the
same date, Sandoz initiated distribution of an
authorized generic naloxone nasal spray having
entered into agreement with Emergent for this
purpose.

NARCAN may face additional generic
competition from other parties, including from
Perrigo UK FINCO Limited Partnership (Perrigo),
who filed their own ANDA in 2018. Emergent
settled with Perrigo on February 12, 2020 providing
for a license effective upon the Teva litigation
decision.

Sales of generic versions of NARCAN at
prices lower than our branded product or provided
at no cost by Teva have the potential to erode our
sales and could impact our product revenue related
to NARCAN. For example, certain U.S. state laws
allow for, and in some instances in the absence of
specific instructions from the prescribing
physician, mandate the dispensing of generic
products rather than branded products where a
generic version is available. In addition, in January
2019, the FDA released new proposed template
Drug Facts Labels to assist sponsors of
investigational naloxone nasal sprays and auto-
injectors seeking approval from the FDA for over-
the-counter naloxone products.

NARCAN may also face branded competition.
For example, on April 30, 2021, the FDA approved
Kloxxado™, a branded product developed by Hikma
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which delivers a higher dose
naloxone nasal spray. In addition, Orexo AB and
Harm Reduction Therapeutics both have
development programs for novel naloxone nasal
spray formulations intended for use in opioid
overdose reversal.

Additional branded competition may
correspond to other injectable naloxone, auto-
injectors and improvised nasal kits including

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s naloxone
injection product and Kaléo’s EVZIO™ (naloxone
HCI injection) Auto- Injector.

Political or social factors may delay or impair
our ability to market and sell our products and may
require us to spend significant management time and
financial resources to address these issues.

Products developed to counter the potential
impact of PHTs are subject to changing political and
social environments. The political responses and
social awareness of the risks of these threats on
military personnel or civilians and the level of
emphasis placed on such risks by the USG may vary
over time. If the threat of terrorism were to decline,
then the public perception of the risk on public
health and safety may be reduced. This perception,
as well as political or social pressures, could delay
or cause resistance to bringing our products in
development to market or limit pricing or purchases
of our products, any of which could negatively affect
our revenues and our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows.

In addition, substantial delays or cancellations

of purchases could result from protests or
challenges from third parties. Lawsuits brought
against us by third parties or activists, even if not
successful, could require us to spend significant
management time and financial resources
defending the related litigation and could
potentially damage the public’s perception of us
and our products. Any publicity campaigns or other
negative publicity may adversely affect the degree
of market acceptance of our MCMs and thereby
limit the demand for our products, which would
adversely affect our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows.

We may not be able to obtain orphan drug
exclusivity for product candidates we may develop,
and even if we do, that exclusivity may not prevent
the FDA or the EMA from approving other
competing products.

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may
designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a drug
or biologic intended to treat a rare disease or
condition. Generally, if a product candidate with an
orphan drug designation subsequently receives the
first marketing approval for the indication for which
it has such designation, the product is entitled to a

50

period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the
FDA from approving another marketing application
for the same product for the same therapeutic
indication for that time period. The applicable period
is seven years in the United States.

In order for the FDA to grant orphan drug
exclusivity to one of our products, the agency must
find that the product is indicated for the treatment
of a condition or disease with a patient population
of fewer than 200,000 individuals annually in the
United States. The FDA may conclude that the
condition or disease for which we seek orphan drug
exclusivity does not meet this standard. Even if we
obtain orphan drug exclusivity for a product, that
exclusivity may not effectively protect the product
from competition because different products can be
approved for the same condition. In addition, even
after an orphan drug is approved, the FDA can
subsequently approve the same product for the
same condition if the FDA or such authorities
conclude that the later product is clinically superior
in that it is shown to be safer, more effective or
makes a major contribution to patient care. Orphan
drug exclusivity may also be lost if the FDA or
EMA determines that the request for designation
was materially defective or if the manufacturer is
unable to assure sufficient quantity of the product
to meet the needs of the patients with the rare
disease or condition.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RISKS

Protection of our intellectual property rights is

an important tool for sustaining our business and
the failure to do so could impact our financial
condition, operating results, and cash flows.

We actively seek to protect intellectual property

rights related to our Company’s 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.

Obtaining, maintaining and defending our
intellectual property rights in the United States and
other countries remains a critical component of the
development and commercialization of our
Company’s assets.

Some of the risks associated with procurement,

maintenance and enforcement of intellectual

property rights include changes in patent laws or
administrative patent office rules, evolving criteria
and eligibility of obtaining patent protection on
particular subject matter, the validity and
enforceability of our intellectual property rights, the
potential scope of coverage of our intellectual
property rights, and/or the availability or strength of
legal remedies in a particular country to defend and
enforce intellectual property rights.

Other risks include associated costs, such as
costs of patent prosecution and maintenance and
costs associated with post-grant challenges. For
example, such costs include inter partes review
(IPR) proceedings in the United States and
oppositions in Europe, as well as costs associated
with litigating and enforcing patent and trademark
rights.

Additional risks include limitations on our
extent or ability to procure, maintain or defend
intellectual property rights associated with
in-licensed or acquired intellectual property, where,
for example, third parties may have the first right to
maintain or defend intellectual property rights in
which we have an interest, or may pursue strategies
that are divergent to the interest of our Company.

Third party challenges for patent infringement

could impact our business, financial condition,
operating results, and cash flows.

Challenges by third parties for alleged patent
infringement could delay or affect the development
and commercialization of our products. Such
challenges, while ongoing, could be costly, requiring
and utilizing company resources. Such challenges, if
successful, may impact marketing or launch of
products, or require ongoing license and/or royalty
fees associated with potential settlement agreements.
These may have the potential to materially harm our
business, financial condition, operating results, and
cash flows.

Intellectual property licenses with third parties

carry risks of challenges, which may be costly and
time consuming and could impact the
commercialization of our products.

We are a party to a number of license
agreements and expect to enter into additional
license agreements in the future. Such license
agreements or collaboration arrangements can be
subject to challenges if interests or expectations

51

under such license agreements diverge. Such
challenges may be costly, risk time and resources,
and could delay or impact development,
commercialization or launch of our products.

Potential loss of proprietary information and

know- how generally carries the risk of reducing the
value of our technology and products.

We also rely upon unpatented proprietary
technology, processes, and know-how, particularly
as to our proprietary manufacturing processes. These
types of confidential information and trade secrets
can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect this
confidential information, in part, through agreements
with our employees, consultants, and third parties, as
well as confidentiality policies and audits, although
these may not always be successful in protecting our
trade secrets and confidential information.

One or more of our products could be subject

to early competition from generic drugs and
biosimilars.

One or more of our products is approved as a

drug product under the provisions of the FDCA,
which may render it susceptible to potential
competition from generic manufacturers via the
Hatch-Waxman Act and ANDA process. Other of
our products may be susceptible to challenges by
entry of biosimilars through the route established
under the Biologics Price Competition and
Innovation Action of 2009.

Although we intend to vigorously enforce our

intellectual property rights, there can be no
assurance that we will prevail in our enforcement or
defense of our patent rights. Our existing patents
could be invalidated, found unenforceable, or found
not to cover a generic form of our product.

RISKS RELATED TO RELIANCE ON THIRD
PARTIES

The loss of any of our non-exclusive, sole-
source or single source suppliers, a shortage of
related supplies or an increase in the price of
inventory supplied to us could have an adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

We purchase certain supplies used in our

manufacturing processes from non-exclusive, or

single sources due to quality considerations, costs or
constraints resulting from regulatory requirements.
We depend on certain single-source suppliers for
key materials and services necessary to manufacture
the majority of our products and certain product
candidates. For example, we rely on a single-source
supplier to provide us with Alhydrogel in sufficient
quantities to meet our needs to manufacture AV7909
and BioThrax and the specialty plasma in our
hyperimmune specialty plasma products and certain
ingredients for ACAM2000. We also rely on single-
source suppliers for the materials necessary to
produce NARCAN, such as the naloxone active
pharmaceutical ingredient and other excipients,
along with the vial, stopper and device.

Where a particular single-source supply
relationship is terminated, we may not be able to
establish additional or replacement suppliers for
certain components or materials quickly. This is
largely due to the FDA approval system, which
mandates validation of materials prior to use in our
products, and the complex nature of manufacturing
processes. In addition, we may lose a sole-source
supplier due to, among other things, the impact of
COVID-19 on such supplier, the acquisition of a
supplier by a competitor (which may cause the
supplier to stop selling its products to us) or the
bankruptcy of such a supplier, which may cause the
supplier to cease operations. Any reduction or
interruption by a sole-source supplier of the supply
of materials or key components used in the
manufacturing of our products or product
candidates, a reduction in quality or an increase in
the price of those materials or components could
adversely affect us. If we are unable to locate or
establish alternative suppliers, our ability to
manufacture our products and product candidates
could be adversely affected and could harm our
revenues, cause us to fail to satisfy contractual
commitments, lead to a termination of one or more
of our contracts or lead to delays in our clinical
trials, any of which could be costly to us and
otherwise materially harm our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows.

We depend on third parties to conduct many of

our clinical and non-clinical trials. If these third
parties do not perform as contractually required or as
we expect, we may not be able to obtain regulatory
approval for or commercialize our product candidates
and, as a result, our business, financial condition,
operating results and cash flows may suffer.

52

We depend on third parties, such as

We are subject to various claims, legal

independent clinical investigators, contract research
organizations and other third-party service providers
to conduct the clinical and non-clinical trials of our
product candidates and expect to continue to do so.
We rely heavily on these third parties for successful
execution of our clinical and non-clinical trials, but
do not exercise day-to-day control over their
activities. Our reliance on these service providers
does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities,
including ensuring that our trials are conducted in
accordance with good clinical practice regulations
and the plan and protocols contained in the relevant
regulatory application. In addition, these
organizations may not complete these activities on
our anticipated or desired timeframe. We also may
experience unexpected cost increases that are
beyond our control. Problems with the timeliness or
quality of the work of a contract research
organization may lead us to seek to terminate the
relationship and use an alternative service provider,
which may prove difficult, costly and result in a
delay of our trials. Any delay in or inability to
complete our trials could delay or prevent the
development, approval and commercialization of our
product candidates.

In certain cases, government entities and NGOs

conduct studies of our product candidates, and we
may seek to rely on these studies in applying for
marketing approval for certain of our product
candidates. These government entities and NGOs
have no obligation or commitment to us to conduct or
complete any of these studies or clinical trials and
may choose to discontinue these development efforts
at any time. Furthermore, government entities depend
on annual Congressional appropriations to fund their
development efforts, which may not be approved.

If we are unable to obtain any necessary third-

party services on acceptable terms or if these service
providers do not successfully carry out their
contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, our
efforts to obtain regulatory approvals for our product
candidates may be delayed or prevented.

LEGAL AND REPUTATIONAL RISKS

Our financial condition and operating results
could be adversely impacted by unfavorable results
of legal proceedings or government investigations.

proceedings and government investigations that have
not yet been fully resolved, including stockholder
derivative and putative class action lawsuits, and
new matters may arise in the future. In addition,
agreements entered into by us sometimes include
indemnification provisions which can subject us to
costs and damages in the event of a claim against an
indemnified third party. The number of claims, legal
proceedings and government investigations
involving us, and the alleged magnitude of such
claims, proceedings and government investigations,
has generally increased over time and may continue
to increase. Certain of these actions include, and
future actual or threatened legal actions may include,
claims for substantial and indeterminate amounts of
damages, or may result in other actions adverse to
us.

For example, multiple purported class action
lawsuits have been filed against us and certain of our
current and former senior officers in the United
States District Court for the District of Maryland
seeking unspecified damages on behalf of a putative
class of persons who purchased or otherwise
acquired shares of our common stock during various
date ranges. The complaints, allege, among other
things, that we made materially false and misleading
statements regarding our procedures and quality
controls relating to vaccine production, in violation
of federal securities laws. As another example,
multiple stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed
in The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware
and the United States District Court for the District
of Maryland on behalf of the Company against
certain current and former officers and directors for
breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets,
unjust enrichment and insider trading, each
allegation related to the Company’s capabilities to
manufacture COVID-19 vaccine bulk drug
substance. In addition to monetary damages, the
complaints seek the implementation of multiple
corporate governance and internal policy changes.

In addition, we have received inquiries and

subpoenas to produce documents from
Representative Carolyn Maloney and Representative
Jim Clyburn, members of the Oversight Committee
and the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus
Crisis, Senator Murray of the Committee on Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions, the Financial

53

Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of
Justice), the SEC, the Maryland Attorney General’s
Office, and the New York Attorney General’s
Office. We are producing and have produced
documents as required in response and will continue
to cooperate with these government inquiries.

Regardless of merit, litigation can be both time-

consuming and disruptive to our operations and
cause significant expense and diversion of
management’s attention. The outcome of litigation
or government investigations is also inherently
uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved
against us or an indemnified third party in a
reporting period for amounts above management’s
expectations, our financial condition and operating
results for that reporting period could be materially
adversely affected. Further, such an outcome could
result in significant compensatory, punitive or
trebled monetary damages, disgorgement of revenue
or profits, remedial corporate measures or injunctive
relief against us and could require us to change our
business practices or limit our ability to offer certain
products and services, all of which could materially
adversely affect our financial condition and
operating results. While we maintain insurance
coverage for certain types of claims, such insurance
coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses or
all types of claims that may arise.

We rely significantly on information technology
systems and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or
security lapse of that technology, including any
cyber security incidents, could harm our ability to
operate our business effectively or result in data
leakage of proprietary and confidential business and
employee information.

Our business is increasingly dependent on

critical, complex and interdependent information
technology systems, including Internet-based
systems, to support business processes as well as
internal and external communications. We also have
contracted with the USG and pharmaceutical
companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, for the
development and manufacture of a significant
quantity of COVID-19 vaccines, and separately we
are working on a proprietary COVID-19 therapeutic
with support from the USG and other private sector
entities, which has raised our security profile, and
heightened potential risks that malicious actors may
seek to disrupt our systems or misappropriate our

information. The size and complexity of our
computer systems make them potentially vulnerable
to interruption, invasion, computer viruses,
destruction, malicious intrusion and additional
related disruptions, which may result in the
impairment of production and key business
processes. Our systems are also potentially
vulnerable to data security breaches through
employee error, phishing scams and malfeasance,
which may expose sensitive data to unauthorized
persons. No system of protection is adequate to
protect against all such threats, even if they are
deemed to be industry standard, and there can be no
assurance that we will be able to repel any such
attacks. Data security breaches could lead to the loss
of trade secrets or other intellectual property or the
public exposure of personal information, including
sensitive personal information, of our employees,
clinical trial patients, customers and others.
Responding to any such threats may also be
expensive and time-consuming.

A significant business disruption or a breach in

security resulting in misappropriation, theft or
sabotage with respect to proprietary and confidential
business and employee information could result in
significant financial losses, legal, business or
reputational harm to us, compromise our business
prospects and our commitments to the USG or other
customers, any of which could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition
and operating results.

Our work on PHTs has exposed us to criticism

and may expose us to further criticism, from the
media, government personnel, and others, that can
negatively affect our share price, reputation,
operations, and our ability to attract and retain
talent and secure new customer contracts.

Our work on PHTs, including manufacturing

issues at our Baltimore Bayview facility, has
exposed us to criticism and may expose us to
additional potential criticism, from the media,
government personnel, and others. In addition, our
work on PHTs has exposed us to governmental
inquiries and investigations, including by Congress
and other government agencies. For example, a joint
panel of the U.S. House of Representatives launched
an investigation into, among other things, the cause
of the previously mentioned cross-contamination
issues identified in a viral vaccine drug substance
batch at the Baltimore Bayview facility. Such

54

criticism can be particularly acute during a public
health emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic. The
unfavorable media coverage and increased
government scrutiny, including the Congressional
inquiry, could further harm our reputation, distract
management’s attention from our operations, and
impact our ability to attract and retain talent and
result in further declines to our share price. We have
already incurred significant legal costs to respond to
government inquiries and are likely to incur
additional costs. Any adverse actions by government
authorities may result in significant civil or criminal
fines or penalties, all of which could adversely
impact our financial condition, operating results and
cash flows.

We face product liability exposure, which could

cause us to incur substantial liabilities and
negatively affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

We face an inherent risk of product liability
exposure related to the sale of our products, any
other products that we successfully acquire or
develop and the testing of our product candidates in
clinical trials.

One measure of protection against such

lawsuits is coverage under the PREP Act, which was
signed into law in December 2005. The PREP Act
creates liability protection for manufacturers of
biodefense countermeasures when the Secretary of
HHS issues a declaration for their manufacture,
administration or use. A PREP Act declaration is
meant to provide liability protection from all claims
under federal or state law for loss arising out of the
administration or use of a covered countermeasure
under a government contract. The Secretary of HHS
has issued PREP Act declarations identifying certain
of our products, namely BioThrax, ACAM2000,
raxibacumab, Anthrasil, BAT and VIGIV, as
covered countermeasures, which expire this year.
Manufacturers are not entitled to protection under
the PREP Act in cases of willful misconduct or for
cases brought in non-U.S. tribunals or under
non-U.S. law. We cannot predict whether the
Secretary of HHS will renew the declarations when
they expire, whether Congress will fund the relevant
PREP Act compensation programs, or whether the
necessary prerequisites for immunity would be
triggered with respect to our products or product
candidates.

Additionally, certain of our products, namely

BioThrax and RSDL, are certified anti-terrorism
products covered under the protections of the
SAFETY Act. The SAFETY Act creates product
liability limitations for qualifying anti-terrorism
technologies for claims arising from or related to an
act of terrorism. Although we are entitled to the
benefits of the SAFETY Act for BioThrax and
RSDL, the SAFETY Act may not provide adequate
protection from claims made against us.

If we cannot successfully defend ourselves

against future claims that our products or product
candidates caused injuries and if we are not entitled
to indemnity by the USG, or the USG does not
honor its obligations to us under the PREP Act or
SAFETY Act, or if the liability protections under the
PREP Act and SAFETY Act are not adequate to
cover all claims, we may incur substantial liabilities.
Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product
liability claims may result in:

‰

decreased demand or withdrawal of a
product;

injury to our reputation;

‰
‰ withdrawal of clinical trial participants;
‰
costs to defend the related litigation;

‰

‰

‰

substantial monetary awards to trial
participants or patients;

loss of revenue; and

an inability to commercialize products that
we may develop.

The amount of insurance that we currently hold

may not be adequate to cover all liabilities that we
may incur. Further product liability insurance may
be difficult and expensive to obtain. We may not be
able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable
cost and we may not be able to obtain insurance
coverage that will be adequate to satisfy all potential
liabilities. For example, we may not have sufficient
insurance against potential liabilities associated with
a possible large-scale deployment of BioThrax as a
countermeasure to a bioterrorism threat. We rely on
PREP Act protection for BioThrax, raxibacumab,
ACAM2000, Anthrasil, BAT and VIGIV, and
SAFETY Act protection for BioThrax and RSDL in
addition to our insurance coverage to help mitigate
our product liability exposure for these products.
Additionally, potential product liability claims

55

related to our commercial products, including
NARCAN, Vivotif and Vaxchora, may be made by
patients, health care providers or others who sell or
consume these products. Such claims may be made
even with respect to those products that possess
regulatory approval for commercial sale. Claims or
losses in excess of our product liability insurance
coverage could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, operating results and
cash flows.

FINANCIAL RISKS

We have incurred significant indebtedness in
connection with our acquisitions and servicing our
debt requires a significant amount of cash. We may
not have sufficient cash flow from our operations to
pay our substantial debt.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the
principal of, to pay interest on or to further refinance
our indebtedness depends on our future
performance, which is subject to economic,
financial, competitive and other factors beyond our
control. We may also seek additional debt financing
to support our ongoing activities or to provide
additional financial flexibility. Debt financing can
have significant adverse consequences for our
business, including:

‰

‰

‰

‰

requiring us to dedicate a substantial
portion of cash flows from operations to
payment on our debt, which would reduce
available funds for other corporate
initiatives;

increasing the amount of interest that we
have to pay on debt with variable interest
rates, if market rates of interest increase, to
the extent we are unable to offset such risk
through our hedging instruments;

subjecting us, as under our Senior Secured
Credit Facilities and the indenture
governing the 3.875% Senior Unsecured
Notes due 2028 (Senior Unsecured Notes),
to restrictive covenants that reduce our
ability to take certain corporate actions,
acquire companies, products or technology,
or obtain further debt financing;

requiring us to pledge our assets as
collateral, which could limit our ability to
obtain additional debt financing;

‰

‰

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or
reacting to, general adverse economic and
industry conditions; and

placing us at a competitive disadvantage
compared to our competitors that have less
debt, better debt servicing options or
stronger debt servicing capacity.

We may not have sufficient funds or be able to
obtain additional financing to pay the amounts due
under our indebtedness. In addition, failure to
comply with the covenants under our Senior Secured
Credit Facilities and other debt agreements,
including the maintenance of a specified
consolidated net leverage ratio and debt service
coverage ratio under our Senior Secured Credit
Facilities, could result in an event of default under
those agreements. An event of default could result in
the acceleration of amounts due under a particular
debt agreement and a cross default and acceleration
under other debt agreements, and we may not have
sufficient funds to pay or be able to obtain additional
financing to make any accelerated payments. Under
these circumstances, our lenders could seek to
enforce security interests in our assets securing our
indebtedness.

Our current indebtedness restricts and any
additional debt financing may restrict the operation
of our business and limit the cash available for
investment in our business operations.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include a

$450 million Term Loan Facility which had an
outstanding principal balance was $396.6 million as
of December 31, 2021 and the ability to borrow up
to $600 million under our Revolving Credit Facility,
of which we had no outstanding borrowings as of
December 31, 2021. On August 7, 2020, we
completed an offering of $450 million aggregate
principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes, of
which $353 million of the net proceeds were used to
pay down our Revolving Credit Facility. We may
also seek additional debt financing to support our
ongoing activities or to provide additional financial
flexibility. Debt financing can have significant
adverse consequences for our business, including:

‰

‰

the level, timing and cost of product sales
and CDMO services;

the extent to which we acquire or invest in
and integrate companies, businesses,
products or technologies;

56

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

the acquisition of new facilities and capital
improvements to new or existing facilities;

the payment obligations under our
indebtedness;

the scope, progress, results and costs of our
development activities;

our ability to obtain funding from
collaborative partners, government entities
and non- governmental organizations for
our development programs;

the extent to which we repurchase common
stock under any future share repurchase
program; and

the costs of commercialization activities,
including product marketing, sales and
distribution.

Our hedging program is subject to counterparty

default risk.

We manage our interest rate risk in part by

entering into interest rate swaps with a number of
counterparties to swap a portion of our indebtedness
that is based on variable interest rates to a fixed rate.
As a result, we are subject to the risk that the
counterparty to one or more of these contracts
defaults on its performance under the contract.
During an economic downturn, the counterparty’s
financial condition may deteriorate rapidly and with
little notice and we may be unable to take action to
protect our exposure. In the event of a counterparty
default, we could incur losses, which may harm our
business and financial condition. In the event that
one or more of our counterparties becomes insolvent
or files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually
recover any losses suffered as a result of that
counterparty’s default may be limited by the
liquidity of the counterparty.

We may require significant additional funding

and be unable to raise capital when needed or on
acceptable terms, which would harm our ability to
grow our business, and our results of operations and
financial condition.

If our capital resources are insufficient to meet

our future capital requirements, we will need to
finance our cash needs through public or private
equity or debt offerings, bank loans or collaboration
and licensing arrangements. In August 2021, we
filed an automatic shelf registration statement, which

immediately became effective under SEC rules. For
so long as we continue to satisfy the requirements to
be deemed a “well-known seasoned issuer” under
SEC rules (which include, among other things, the
timely filing of our reports under the Exchange Act
and maintenance of at least $700 million of public
float or issuing an aggregate amount of $1 billion of
non- convertible securities, other than common
stock, in registered offerings for cash during the past
three years), this shelf registration statement,
effective until August 9, 2024, allows us to issue an
unrestricted amount of equity, debt and certain other
types of securities through one or more future
primary or secondary offerings. If we do not file a
new shelf registration statement prior to August 9,
2024, the existing shelf registration statement will
expire, and we will not be able to publicly raise
capital or issue debt until a new registration
statement is filed and becomes effective. There can
be no assurance that we will be eligible to file an
automatically effective shelf registration statement
at a future date when we may need to raise funds
publicly.

If we raise funds by issuing equity securities,

our stockholders may experience dilution. Debt
financing, if available, may involve agreements that
include covenants, like those contained in our Senior
Secured Credit Facilities and the indenture
governing the Senior Unsecured Notes, limiting or
restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as
incurring additional debt, making capital
expenditures, pursuing acquisition opportunities or
declaring dividends. If we raise funds through
collaboration and licensing arrangements with third
parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable
rights to our technologies or product candidates or
grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to
us. Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities as well as
the indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes
restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness.

Economic conditions may make it difficult to

obtain financing on attractive terms, or at all. If
financing is unavailable or lost, our business,
operating results, financial condition and cash flows
would be adversely affected, and we could be forced
to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate many of
our planned activities.

We may not maintain profitability in future

periods or on a consistent basis.

57

Although we have been profitable on an annual
basis since becoming a public company, we have not
been profitable for every quarter during that time.
Our profitability has been substantially dependent on
product sales, which historically have fluctuated
significantly from quarter to quarter, and we expect
that they will continue to fluctuate significantly
based primarily on the timing of our fulfillment of
orders from the USG. We may not be able to achieve
consistent profitability on a quarterly basis or sustain
or increase profitability on an annual basis.

The expansion of our international operations

increases our risk of exposure to credit losses.

As we continue to expand our business

activities with foreign governments in certain
countries that have experienced deterioration in
credit and economic conditions or otherwise, our
exposure to uncollectible accounts will rise. Global
economic conditions and liquidity issues in certain
countries have resulted and may continue to result in
delays in the collection of accounts receivable and
may result in credit losses. Future governmental
actions and customer specific actions may require us
to re-evaluate the collectability of our accounts
receivable and we may potentially incur credit losses
that materially impact our operating results.

A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears

interest at variable interest rates based on LIBOR
and certain of our financial contracts are also
indexed to LIBOR. Changes in the method of
determining LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR
with an alternative reference rate, may adversely
affect interest rates on our current or future
indebtedness and may otherwise adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority,

the authority that regulates the London Inter-bank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) announced that it intended to
stop compelling banks to submit rates for the
calculation of LIBOR.

On December 31, 2021, the International

Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Association, which
administrates LIBOR, ceased (i) entering into new
contracts that use LIBOR as a reference rate and
(ii) publication of two LIBOR rates (one-week and
two-month) and has announced that the remaining
LIBOR rates (overnight, one-month, three-month,
six-month and 12-month) will be retired on June 30,

2023. It is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist at that
time or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be
established such that it continues to exist after 2023.
We have certain financial contracts, including the
amended credit agreement related to our Senior
Secured Credit Facilities and our interest rate swaps,
that are indexed to LIBOR. Changes in the method of
determining LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR
with an alternative reference rate, may adversely
affect interest rates on our current or future
indebtedness. Any transition process may involve,
among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity
in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR,
reductions in the value of certain instruments or the
effectiveness of related transactions such as hedges,
increased borrowing costs, uncertainty under
applicable documentation, or difficult and costly
consent processes. The transition away from LIBOR
may result in increased expenses, may impair our
ability to refinance our indebtedness or hedge our
exposure to floating rate instruments, or may result in
difficulties, complications or delays in connection
with future financing efforts, any of which could
adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.

RISKS RELATED TO STRATEGIC
ACQUISITIONS AND COLLABORATIONS

Our strategy of generating growth through

acquisitions may not be successful.

Our business strategy includes growing our

business through acquisition and in-licensing
transactions. We may not be successful in
identifying, effectively evaluating, structuring,
acquiring or in- licensing, and developing and
commercializing additional products on favorable
terms, or at all. Competition for attractive product
opportunities is intense and may require us to devote
substantial resources, both managerial and financial,
to an acquisition opportunity. A number of more
established companies are also pursuing strategies to
acquire or in-license products in the
biopharmaceutical field. These companies may have
a competitive advantage over us due to their size,
cash resources, cost of capital, effective tax rate and
greater clinical development and commercialization
capabilities.

Acquisition efforts can consume significant

management attention and require substantial

58

expenditures, which could detract from our other
programs. In addition, we may devote significant
resources to potential acquisitions that are never
completed. Even if we are successful in acquiring a
company or product, it may not result in a successfully
developed or commercialized product or, even if an
acquired product is commercialized, competing
products or technologies could render a product
noncompetitive, uneconomical or obsolete. Moreover,
the cost of acquiring other companies or in- licensing
products could be substantial, and in order to acquire
companies or new products, we may need to incur
substantial debt or issue dilutive securities.

If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to acquire

other companies or in-license and develop additional
products, or if we acquire or in-license unproductive
assets, it could have a material adverse effect on the
growth of our business, and we could be compelled
to record significant impairment charges to write-
down the carrying value of our acquired intangible
assets, which could materially harm our business,
financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

Our failure to successfully integrate acquired
businesses and/or assets into our operations could
adversely affect our ability to realize the benefits of
such acquisitions and, therefore, to grow our
business.

We may not be able to integrate any acquired

business successfully or operate any acquired
business profitably. In addition, cost synergies, if
achieved at all, may be less than we expect, or may
take greater time to achieve than we anticipate.

Issues that could delay or prevent successful
integration or cost synergies of an acquired business
or products include, among others:

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

retaining existing customers and attracting
new customers;

retaining key employees;

diversion of management attention and
resources;

conforming internal controls, policies and
procedures, business cultures and
compensation programs;

consolidating corporate and administrative
infrastructures;

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

successfully executing technology transfers
and obtaining required regulatory
approvals;

consolidating sales and marketing
operations;

identifying and eliminating redundant and
underperforming operations and assets;

assumption of known and unknown
liabilities;

coordinating geographically dispersed
organizations;

‰ managing tax costs or inefficiencies

associated with integrating operations; and

‰

risks associated with intellectual property
rights related to an acquisition or
collaboration.

If we are unable to successfully integrate
pending and future acquisitions with our existing
businesses, or operate any acquired business
profitably, we may not obtain the advantages that the
acquisitions were intended to create, which may
materially adversely affect the growth of our
business, financial condition, operating results and
cash flows.

RISKS RELATED TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR
COMMON STOCK

Our business or our share price could be
negatively affected as a result of the actions of
shareholders.

In recent years, some shareholders have placed
increasing pressure on publicly traded companies in
our industry and others to effect changes to
corporate governance practices, executive
compensation practices, social and environmental
practices and to undertake certain corporate actions.
This may be true even if they only hold a minority of
shares. In addition, many institutional investors are
increasingly focused on ESG factors. These
investors may be seeking enhanced ESG disclosures
or to implement policies adverse to our business.
There can be no assurances that shareholders will
not publicly advocate for us to make corporate
governance changes or engage in certain corporate
actions. Responding to challenges from
shareholders, such as proxy contests, media
campaigns or other public or private means, could be

59

costly and time consuming and could have an
adverse effect on our reputation and divert the
attention and resources of management and our
board, which could have an adverse effect on our
business and operational results. Any such
shareholder actions or requests, or the mere public
presence of shareholders with a reputation for taking
such actions among our shareholder base, could also
cause the market price of our common stock to
experience periods of significant volatility.

Although he is retiring, Fuad El-Hibri,

executive chairman of our Board of Directors,
currently has significant influence over us through
his substantial beneficial ownership of our common
stock, including an ability to influence the election of
the members of our Board of Directors, or delay or
prevent a change of control of us.

Although Mr. El-Hibri is retiring after the end

of the first quarter of 2022, he currently has the
ability to significantly influence the election of the
members of our Board of Directors due to his
substantial beneficial ownership of our common
stock. As of December 31, 2021, Mr. El-Hibri was
the beneficial owner of approximately 9% of our
outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. El-Hibri
could exercise substantial influence over corporate
actions requiring board or stockholder approval,
including a change of control, or any amendment of
our certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The
control by Mr. El-Hibri may prevent other
stockholders from influencing significant corporate
decisions. In addition, Mr. El-Hibri’s significant
beneficial ownership of our shares could present the
potential for a conflict of interest.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation

and by-laws and under Delaware law may
discourage acquisition proposals, delay a change in
control or prevent transactions that stockholders
may consider favorable.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation

and by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a
merger, acquisition or other changes in control that
stockholders may consider favorable, including
transactions in which stockholders might otherwise
receive a premium for their shares. These provisions
may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our
stockholders to replace or remove our management.

These provisions include:
‰

the classification of our directors;

60

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

limitations on changing the number of
directors then in office;

limitations on the removal of directors;

limitations on filling vacancies on the
board;

advance notice requirements for
stockholder nominations of candidates for
election to the Board of Directors and other
proposals;

the inability of stockholders to act by
written consent;

the inability of stockholders to call special
meetings; and

the ability of our Board of Directors to
designate the terms of and issue a new
series of preferred stock without
stockholder approval.

The affirmative vote of holders of our capital
stock representing at least 75% of the voting power
of all outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to
amend or repeal the above provisions of our
certificate of incorporation. The affirmative vote of
either a majority of the directors present at a meeting
of our Board of Directors or holders of our capital
stock representing at least 75% of the voting power
of all outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to
amend or repeal our by-laws.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law (Section 203).
In general and subject to certain exceptions, Section
203 prohibits a publicly-held corporation from
engaging in a business combination with an
interested stockholder, generally a person which,
together with its affiliates, owns or within the last
three years has owned 15% or more of the
corporation’s voting stock, for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the
person became an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed
manner. Accordingly, Section 203 may discourage,
delay or prevent a change in control of us.

Our Board of Directors may implement a new

stockholder rights plan without stockholder
approval, which could prevent a change in control
of us in instances in which some stockholders may
believe a change in control is in their best interests.

Our Board of Directors may implement a

stockholder rights plan without stockholder
approval. We previously implemented a stockholder
rights plan, which expired on November 14, 2016.
Under our prior stockholder rights plan, we issued to
each of our stockholders one preferred stock
purchase right for each outstanding share of our
common stock. Each right, when exercisable, would
have entitled its holder to purchase from us a unit
consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of series
A junior participating preferred stock at a purchase
price of $150 in cash, subject to adjustments. Our
stockholder rights plan was intended to protect
stockholders in the event of an unfair or coercive
offer to acquire us and to provide our Board of
Directors with adequate time to evaluate unsolicited
offers.

Our Board of Directors may implement a new

stockholder rights plan, which may have anti-
takeover effects, potentially preventing a change in
control of us in instances in which some
stockholders may believe a change in control is in
their best interests. This could cause substantial
dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
us on terms that our Board of Directors does not
believe are in our best interests or those of our
stockholders and may discourage, delay or prevent a
merger or acquisition that stockholders may consider
favorable, including transactions in which
stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for
their shares.

Our stock price is volatile, and purchasers of
our common stock could incur substantial losses.

Our stock price has been, and is likely to

continue to be, volatile. The market price of our
common stock could fluctuate significantly for many
reasons, including in response to the risks described
in this “Risk Factors” section, or for reasons
unrelated to our operations, such as reports by
industry analysts, investor perceptions or negative
announcements by our customers, competitors or
suppliers regarding their own performance, as well
as industry conditions and general financial,
economic and political instability. From
November 15, 2006, when our common stock first
began trading on the New York Stock Exchange,
through February 18, 2022, our common stock has
traded as high as $137.61 per share and as low as
$4.17 per share. Due to fears associated with

COVID-19, the stock market has been experiencing
extreme volatility and the market for
biopharmaceutical companies has generally
experienced extreme volatility that has often been
unrelated to the operating performance of particular
companies. The market price of our common stock
may be influenced by many factors, including,
among others:

‰

contracts, decisions and procurement
policies by the USG affecting our anthrax
vaccines and our other products and
product candidates;

‰ CDMO contracts related to COVID-19 with

collaboration partners;

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

‰

the success of competitive products or
technologies;

results of clinical and non-clinical trials of
our product candidates;

announcements of acquisitions, financings
or other transactions by us;

litigation or legal proceedings;

public concern as to the safety of our
products;

termination or delay of a development
program;

the recruitment or departure of key
personnel;

variations in our product revenue and
profitability; and

the other factors described in this “Risk
Factors” section.

Because we currently do not pay dividends,
investors will benefit from an investment in our
common stock only if it appreciates in value.

We currently do not pay dividends on our
common stock. Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities
and the indenture governing our Senior Unsecured
Notes limit and any future debt agreements that we
enter into may limit our ability to pay dividends. As
a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common
stock will be the sole source of gain for our
stockholders based on current expectations.

Future issuances of our common stock or
securities convertible into common stock could
result in dilution of our stockholders and could
cause our share price to decline.

61

We expect to continue to opportunistically seek

access to additional capital to license or acquire
additional products, product candidates or
companies to expand our operations or for general
corporate purposes. To the extent we raise additional
capital by issuing equity securities or securities
convertible or exchangeable into common stock, our
stockholders may experience substantial dilution.
We may sell common stock, and we may sell
convertible or exchangeable securities or other
equity securities in one or more transactions at
prices and in a manner we determine from time to
time. If we sell such common stock, convertible or
exchangeable securities or other equity securities in
subsequent transactions, existing stockholders may
be materially diluted.

GENERAL RISKS

The accuracy of our financial reporting
depends on the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting. Any additional material
weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting could have an adverse effect on our
business and financial results and our ability to meet
our reporting obligations could be negatively
affected, each of which could negatively affect the
trading price of our common stock.

Internal control over financial reporting can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements
and may not prevent or detect misstatements. A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis. Failure to maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting, or lapses in disclosure
controls and procedures, could impact our financial
information and disclosures, require significant
resources to remediate, and expose us to legal or
regulatory proceedings.

We regularly review and update our internal

controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In
addition, we are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 to report annually on our internal
control over financial reporting. In the quarter ended
September 30, 2021, we identified a material
weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting related to our technical accounting

assessment of the BARDA COVID-19 Development
Public Private Partnership and CDMO revenue
contracts and related accounting judgments primarily
focused on (a) the scoping of lease and non-lease
components and (b) the recognition of revenue.

Although the material weakness has been
remediated as of December 31, 2021, our system of
internal controls, however well-designed, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the
objectives of the system are met. If we, or our
independent registered public accounting firm,
determine that our internal controls over financial
reporting, or the internal controls of other companies
we may acquire, are not effective, or we discover
additional areas that need improvement in the future,
these shortcomings could have an adverse effect on our
business and financial reporting, and the trading price
of our common stock could be negatively affected.

Our success is dependent on our continued
ability to attract, motivate and retain key personnel,
and any failure to attract or retain key personnel
may negatively affect our business.

Because of the specialized scientific nature of
our business, our ability to develop products and to
compete with our current and future competitors
largely depends upon our ability to attract, retain and
motivate highly qualified managerial and key
scientific and technical personnel (including quality
and manufacturing personnel). If we are unable to
retain the services of one or more of the principal
members of senior management or other key
employees, our ability to implement our business
strategy could be materially harmed. We face
intense competition for qualified employees from
biopharmaceutical companies, research
organizations and academic institutions. Attracting,
retaining or replacing these personnel on acceptable
terms may be difficult and time-consuming given the
high demand in our industry for similar personnel.
We believe part of being able to attract, motivate
and retain personnel is our ability to offer a
competitive compensation package, including equity
incentive awards. If we cannot offer a competitive
compensation package to attract and retain the
qualified personnel necessary for the continued
development of our business, we may not be able to
maintain our operations or grow our business.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is meant

to provide material information relevant to an
assessment of the financial condition and results of
operations of our company, including an evaluation
of the amounts and uncertainties of cash flows from
operations and from outside resources, so as to
allow investors to better view our company from
management’s perspective. You should read the
following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations together with our
financial statements and the related notes and other
financial information included elsewhere in this
annual report on Form 10-K. Some of the
information contained in this discussion and
analysis or set forth elsewhere in this annual report
on Form 10-K, including information with respect to
our plans and strategy for our business and
financing, includes forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. You should carefully
review the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of
this annual report on Form 10-K for a discussion of
important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the results described in or
implied by the forward-looking statements contained
in the following discussion and analysis.

Business Overview

We are a global life sciences company focused
on providing innovative preparedness and response
solutions addressing accidental, deliberate, and
naturally occurring PHTs. Our solutions include a
product portfolio, a product development portfolio
and a CDMO services portfolio.

We are currently focused on the following five

PHT categories: CBRNE, EID, travel health,
emerging health crises, and acute/emergency care.
We have a product portfolio of eleven products that
contribute a substantial portion of our revenue and
are sold to government and commercial customers.
We also have a product candidate that is procured
under special circumstances by the USG, although it
is not approved by the FDA. Additionally, we have a
development pipeline consisting of a diversified mix
of both pre-clinical and clinical stage product
candidates. Finally, we have a fully-integrated

65

portfolio of CDMO services. Our CDMO service
offerings cover development services, drug
substance manufacturing and drug product
manufacturing and packaging.

In October 2021, the Company implemented a

new organizational structure organized around
markets and customers whereas our historical
structure was organized around product/platform and
service types. The key components of the new
business structure include a Government - MCM
business line, Commercial business line, and
Services - CDMO business line as well as the
centralization of R&D functions and capabilities at
the enterprise level.

The majority of our product revenue comes

from the following products and procured product
candidates:

Services - Contract Development and
Manufacturing

Our services revenue consists of distinct but

interrelated CDMO services: 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. These
services, which we refer to as “molecule-to-market”
offerings, employ diverse technology platforms
(mammalian, microbial, viral and plasma) across a
network of nine geographically distinct development
and manufacturing sites operated by us for our
internal products and pipeline candidates and third
party CDMO services. We service both clinical-
stage and commercial-stage projects for a variety of
third-party customers, including government
agencies, innovative pharmaceutical companies, and
non-government organizations.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

We generate product revenues from the sale of

our marketed products and procured product
candidates. The USG is the largest purchaser of our
Government - MCM products and primarily
purchases our products for the SNS, a national
repository of medical countermeasures including
critical antibiotics, vaccines, chemical antidotes,
antitoxins, and other critical medical supplies. The
USG primarily purchases our products under long-
term, firm fixed-price procurement contracts,
generally with annual options. Our Commercial
products, Nasal Naloxone Products, which reverse
opioid overdose and our travel health products,
Vivotif and Vaxchora, are sold commercially
through wholesalers and distributors, physician-
directed or standing order prescriptions at retail
pharmacies, and to state and local community
healthcare agencies, practitioners and hospitals.

We also generate revenue from our CDMO

services, which is based on our established
development and manufacturing infrastructure,
technology platforms and expertise. Our services
include a fully integrated molecule-to-market
CDMO services business offering across

66

development services, drug substance and drug
product for small to large pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industry and government agencies/
non-governmental organizations. From time to time,
clients require suite reservations at our various
manufacturing sites, which may be considered leases
depending on the facts and circumstances.

product work for containment and distribution of
biological products. For drug product customers, we
receive work in process inventory to be prepared for
distribution.

Research and Development Expenses

We expense R&D costs as incurred. Our R&D

We have received contracts and grants funding

expenses consist primarily of:

from the USG and other non-governmental
organizations to perform R&D activities,
particularly related to programs addressing certain
CBRNE threats and EIDs.

Our revenue, operating results and profitability
vary quarterly based on the timing of production and
deliveries, the timing of manufacturing services
performed and the nature of our business to provide
large scale bundles of products and services as needs
arise. Since early 2020, our revenues from the sale of
our vaccine products that target travelers have declined
due to the reduction of international travel caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect continued
variability in our quarterly financial statements.

Cost of Product Sales and CDMO Services

Products - The primary expenses that we incur to

deliver our products consist of fixed and variable
costs. We determine the cost of product sales for
products sold during a reporting period based on the
average manufacturing cost per unit in the period
those units were manufactured. Fixed manufacturing
costs include facilities, utilities and amortization of
intangible assets. Variable manufacturing costs
primarily consist of costs for materials and personnel-
related expenses for direct and indirect manufacturing
support staff, contract manufacturing operations,
sales-based royalties, shipping and logistics. In
addition to the fixed and variable manufacturing costs
described above, the cost of product sales depends on
utilization of available manufacturing capacity. For
our commercial sales, other associated expenses
include sales-based royalties (which include fair value
adjustments associated with contingent
consideration), shipping, and logistics.

CDMO - The primary expenses that we incur to

deliver our CDMO services consist of fixed and
variable costs, including personnel, equipment, and
facilities costs. Our manufacturing process includes the
production of bulk material and performing drug

67

‰
‰

‰

‰

personnel-related expenses;
fees to professional service providers for,
among other things, analytical testing,
independent monitoring or other
administration of our clinical trials and
obtaining and evaluating data from our
clinical trials and non-clinical studies;
costs of CDMO services for our clinical
trial material; and
costs of materials used in clinical trials and
R&D.

In many cases, we plan to seek funding for

development activities from external sources and
third parties, such as governments and
non-governmental organizations, or through
collaborative partnerships. We expect our R&D
spending will be dependent upon such factors as the
results from our clinical trials, the availability of
reimbursement of R&D spending, the number of
product candidates under development, the size,
structure and duration of any clinical programs that
we may initiate, the costs associated with
manufacturing and development of our product
candidates on a large-scale basis for later stage
clinical trials, and our ability to use or rely on data
generated by government agencies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses

consist primarily of personnel-related costs and
professional fees in support of our executives, sales
and marketing, business development, government
affairs, finance, accounting, information technology,
legal, human resource functions and other corporate
functions. Other costs include facility costs not
otherwise included in cost of product sales and
CDMO services or R&D expense.

Income Taxes

Uncertainty in income taxes is accounted for

using a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to
be taken in a tax return. We recognize in our
financial statements the impact of a tax position if
that position is more likely than not of being
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of
the position.

Management believes that the assumptions and

estimates related to the provision for income taxes
are critical to the Company’s results of operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, income tax
expense totaled $83.5 million. For every 1% change
in the 2021 effective rate, income tax expense would
have changed by approximately $3.1 million.

For additional information on our uncertain tax

positions and income tax expense, please see
Note 11, Income taxes to our consolidated financial
statements included in this report.

Nasal Naloxone Products

The increase in Nasal Naloxone Product sales

for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily
driven by growth in unit sales of NARCAN to U.S.
public interest customers and to a lesser extent the
commercial retail markets. Increases in Canadian
sales due to an increase in units sold also contributed
to growth between 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the
Company recorded limited revenues related to an
authorized generic nasal naloxone product for the
year ended December 31, 2021.

Anthrax Vaccines

The decrease in anthrax vaccine sales for the
year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to
the timing of deliveries to the USG in 2021 as
compared to 2020. During 2020 deliveries were
larger than average due to the transition to AV7909
which had resulted in delayed deliveries the previous
year. The price per unit of AV7909 was largely
consistent year over year. Anthrax vaccine product
sales are made under annual purchase options
exercised by the USG. Fluctuations in revenues
result from the timing of the exercise of annual
purchase options and the USG purchases and
Company delivery of orders that follow.

ACAM2000

ACAM2000 sales for the year ended

December 31, 2021 were consistent with 2020. The
price per unit and number of units delivered of
ACAM2000 was largely consistent other than
standard inflationary price increases between 2021
and 2020. ACAM2000 product sales are made under
recurring procurement contracts with the USG and
any fluctuation in revenues are generally caused by
the timing of delivery of orders.

Other Product Sales

The increase in the Company’s other product
sales during the year ended December 31, 2021, was
primarily due to an increase in the quantity of
VIGIV offset by a decline in quantity of BAT. The
change between 2021 and 2020 is primarily due to
timing of deliveries to the SNS.

Contract Development and Manufacturing
Services

Cost of Product Sales

Services

The increase in CDMO services revenue for the

year ended December 31, 2021 is due to a full year
of service to innovator customers whose products
address the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company
entered into most of these arrangements during the
second and third quarters of 2020 and has provided
services to them and new innovator customers
throughout 2021. Additionally, during the year
ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded
out-of-period adjustments of $28.8 million relating
to a change in accounting policy (see Note 2).

Leases

The increase in CDMO lease revenue during the
year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a
full year of service to Johnson & Johnson in 2021 as
the arrangement was entered into during the second
quarter of 2020. This increase was offset by a
decrease from the COVID-19 development public-
private partnership with BARDA of $15.7 million.
This arrangement was terminated in November 2021.

Contracts and Grants

The increase in contracts and grants revenue for the

year ended December 31, 2021 is largely due to the
termination of the CIADM contract with BARDA and
the recognition of $55.2 million for the release of
contract liabilities offset by a decrease in developmental
activities associated with the Company’s COVID-HIG
and AV7909 product candidates.

Cost of Product Sales

Gross profit margin for product sales

Cost of product sales decreased for the year
ended December 31, 2021 largely due to contingent
consideration charges for business combinations, as
well as inventory write-offs associated with the
Company’s travel health vaccines of $44.3 million
in 2020 that did not recur in 2021. This decrease was
further impacted by declines in sales of Anthrax
vaccines and other products that was partially offset
by increased costs as a result of higher volume of
certain products, mostly Nasal Naloxone Products.

The increase in gross profit margin for product

sales for the year ended December 31, 2021 is
largely due to non-recurring charges in 2020 related
to contingent consideration and inventory write-offs.
Excluding those non-recurring charges, the gross
profit margin decreased from 2020 and 2021 largely
due to changes in product mix.

Gross profit margin for CDMO

Cost of CDMO increased for the twelve months

Additionally, the Company wrote-off inventory of
$41.5 million and incurred remediation costs during
2021 as a result of the cross-contamination event at
the Bayview facility identified during the three
months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in costs
also includes out-of-period adjustments of $16.2 for
an accounting policy change (see Note 2).

The decrease in gross profit margin percentage
for CDMO for the year ended December 31, 2021 is
largely due to inventory write-offs at our Bayview
facility and remediation costs of our COVID-19
manufacturing activities.

impacted due to the impairment of the Company’s
IPR&D intangible asset of $29 million, while the
results in 2021 were impacted due to the write-off of
the contract asset associated with the CIADM
arrangement of $38.0 million. Excluding the impacts
of these items R&D expenses decreased for the year
ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was due to
a decline in spending associated with the Company’s
COVID-HIG therapeutic product candidate as well
as a decline in developmental activities associated
with the Company’s AV7909 product candidate.

We have historically financed our operating and capital expenditures through cash on hand, cash from
operations, debt financing and contracts and grants development funding. We also obtain financing from the sale
of our common stock upon exercise of stock options. We have operated profitably for each of the last five fiscal
years through the period ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents of $576.1 million and capacity under our revolving credit facility of $597.7 million. As of
December 31, 2021, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations over at least the next 12
months.

Net cash provided by operating activities of
$188.0 million in 2019 was primarily due to net
income excluding non-cash items of $230.4 million
offset by negative working capital changes of
$42.4 million.

Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities of

$225.0 million in 2021 relates to purchases of
property, plant and equipment. The cash used in
investing activities increased during the year ended
December 31, 2021 largely due to continued
investments in infrastructure and equipment
associated with increased capacity and capabilities at
our Rockville and Bayview facilities.

Net cash used in investing activities of
$151.0 million in 2020 was primarily due to
infrastructure and equipment investments.

Net cash used in investing activities of
$96.9 million in 2019 was primarily due to
infrastructure and equipment investments.

Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities of
$141.0 million in 2021 was primarily due to
repurchases of stock of $106.0 million and payments
on debt of $35.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities of
$69.5 million in 2020 was primarily due to proceeds
from the $450.0 million Senior Unsecured Notes and
net employee share-based compensation activity of
$17.8 million offset by payments of $387.1 million
on the term loan and revolving credit facility and
$8.4 million of debt issuance costs.

Net cash used in financing activities of
$35.9 million in 2019 was primarily due to
contingent consideration payments of $50.4 million
mostly in relation to the 2018 acquisition of Adapt
offset by $13.7 of net proceeds from debt.

Long-term debt

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has
$849.6 million of fixed and variable rate debt with
varying maturities, with $31.6 million payable
within 12 months (see Note 8).

Funding Requirements

We expect to continue to fund our anticipated

operating expenses, capital expenditures, debt
service requirements and any future repurchase of
our common stock from the following sources:

▪

▪

▪

▪

existing cash and cash equivalents;

net proceeds from the sale of our products
and CDMO services;

development contracts and grants funding;
and

our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and
any other lines of credit we may establish
from time to time.

There are numerous risks and uncertainties

associated with product sales and with the
development and commercialization of our product
candidates. We may seek additional external
financing to provide additional financial flexibility.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including (but not limited to):

▪

▪

▪

▪

▪

▪

▪

the level, timing and cost of product sales
and CDMO services;

the extent to which we acquire or invest in
and integrate companies, businesses,
products or technologies;

the acquisition of new facilities and capital
improvements to new or existing facilities;

the payment obligations under our
indebtedness;

the scope, progress, results and costs of our
development activities;

our ability to obtain funding from
collaborative partners, government entities
and non-governmental organizations for our
development programs;

the costs of commercialization activities,
including product marketing, sales and
distribution.

If our capital resources are insufficient to meet

our future capital requirements, we will need to
finance our cash needs through public or private
equity or debt offerings, bank loans or collaboration
and licensing arrangements.

75

If we raise funds by issuing equity securities,

our stockholders may experience dilution. Public or
bank debt financing, if available, may involve
agreements that include covenants, like those
contained in our Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028
and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which
could limit or restrict our ability to take specific
actions, such as incurring additional debt, making
capital expenditures, pursuing acquisition
opportunities, buying back shares or declaring
dividends. If we raise funds through collaboration
and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may
be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our
technologies or product candidates or grant licenses
on terms that may not be favorable to us.

Economic conditions, including market
volatility and adverse impacts on financial markets
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, may make it
more difficult to obtain financing on attractive
terms, or at all. If financing is unavailable or lost,
our business, operating results, financial condition
and cash flows would be adversely affected, and we
could be forced to delay, reduce the scope of or
eliminate many of our planned activities.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has
contractual obligations related to lease arrangements
and purchase commitments. The lease arrangements
are for certain equipment and facilities. As of
December 31, 2021, the Company had fixed lease
payment obligations of $34.7 million, with
$6.9 million due within 12 months. The Company

has non-cancelable purchase commitments of
$132.0 million, with $124.3 million being due
within 12 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures are prepared in accordance with
US GAAP, which requires management to make
estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported. Note 2, “Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form
10-K describes the accounting policies and methods
used in the preparation of the Company’s
consolidated financial statements. Management
considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is
important to reporting our financial condition and
results of operations, and if it requires significant
judgment and estimates on the part of management
in its application. Management bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other
assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.

Management believes the Company’s critical
accounting policies and estimates are those related to
revenue recognition, contingent consideration, and
income taxes.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s product sales are recognized at

a point-in-time generally upon delivery to the
customer, depending on the performance obligation
which the Company is delivering. The Company’s
CDMO arrangements are generally recognized on a
percentage of completion basis utilizing a
cost-to-cost method. Revenues are recognized as a
percentage of the work completed during the period
in an amount that reflects the percentage of the
consideration which the Company expects to receive
in exchange for the product or services.

76

regulatory milestones are Level 3 fair value
measurements. The Company re-evaluates the fair
value on a quarterly basis. Changes in the fair value
can result from adjustments to the discount rates and
updates in the assumed timing of or achievement of
net sales and/or the achievement of development and
regulatory milestones. For additional information on
the Company’s contingent consideration, refer to
Note 4, of Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets

and liabilities for future tax consequences
attributable to differences between financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and net
operating loss and R&D tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered
likely to be realized.

The Company’s income tax expense, deferred

tax assets and liabilities and liabilities for
unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best
assessment of estimated current and future taxes to
be paid. As tax laws are complex and subject to
different interpretations, significant management
judgement is required in (1) calculating the
Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities, (2) determining any
valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax
assets and (3) evaluating the amount of
unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the interest and
penalties related to such uncertain tax positions. The
Company’s estimates and assumptions may differ
from tax benefits ultimately realized. For additional
information on the Company’s income taxes, refer to
Note 11, of Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.

For contracts with multiple performance

obligations, the Company allocates the contract price
to each performance obligation on a relative
standalone selling price basis using the Company’s
best estimate of the standalone selling price of each
distinct product or service in the contract. Certain
contracts may include lease components which are
recognized under ASC 842. The primary method
used to estimate standalone selling price is the price
observed in standalone sales to customers, however
when prices in standalone sales are not available the
Company may use third-party pricing for similar
products or services or estimate the standalone
selling price based on the best available information.

Revenues are recorded net of reserves

established for applicable discounts and allowances
that are offered within contracts with customers. The
Company makes estimates of the transaction price,
including variable consideration that is subject to a
constraint. Estimates of variable consideration
includes allowances for returns, specialty distributor
fees, wholesaler fees, prompt payment discounts,
government rebates, chargebacks and rebates under
managed care plans. Revenues from sales of
products is recognized to the extent that it is
probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when
the uncertainty associated with such variable
consideration is subsequently resolved. Provisions
for variable consideration revenues from sales of
products are recorded at the net sales price. For
additional information on our revenues, refer to Note
3, of Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Company’s acquisitions

accounted for as business combinations, the
Company records contingent consideration
associated with sales-based royalties, sales-based
milestones and development and regulatory
milestones at fair value, as applicable. The fair value
model used to calculate these obligations is based on
the income approach (a discounted cash flow model)
that has been risk adjusted based on the probability
of achievement of net sales and achievement of the
milestones. The inputs the Company uses for
determining the fair value of the contingent
consideration associated with sales-based royalties,
sales-based milestones and development and

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK

For a discussion of additional risks arising from

our operations, see “Item 1A—Business—Risk
Factors” in this 2021 Annual Report.

Market Risks

We have interest rate and foreign currency
market risk. Because of the short-term maturities of
our cash and cash equivalents, we believe that an
increase in market rates would likely not have a
significant impact on the realized value of our
investments.

Interest Rate Risk

We have debt with a mix of fixed and variable

rates of interest. Floating rate debt carries interest
based generally on the eurocurrency rate, as defined
in our Amended Credit Agreement, plus an
applicable margin. We manage the impact of interest
rate changes on our variable debt through derivative
instruments such as interest rate swap arrangements.
For debt that we have not hedged through our
interest rate swap arrangements increases in interest
rates could therefore increase

the associated interest payments that we are required
to make on this debt. See Note 8, “Long-term debt,”
to the Notes of our consolidated financial statements
included in this 2021 Annual Report under the
caption Item 8, “Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.”

We have assessed our exposure to changes in

interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our
operating results assuming various changes in
market interest rates. A hypothetical increase of one
percentage point in the eurocurrency rate as of
December 31, 2021 would increase our interest
expense by approximately $0.7 million annually.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have exposure to foreign currency

exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily
with respect to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Swiss
franc and British pound. We manage our foreign
currency exchange rate risk primarily by either
entering into foreign currency hedging transactions
or incurring operating expenses in the local currency
in the countries in which we operate, to the extent
practicable. We currently do not hedge all of our
foreign currency exchange exposure and the
movement of foreign currency exchange rates could
have an adverse or positive impact on our results of
operations.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and

subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations,
comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021
and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

(United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,
based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed
an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to

express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we

plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the
financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that:
(1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in
any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the
accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

79

Description
of the
Matter

Revenue recognition

As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
recognized revenues of $1,792.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company
enters into or periodically modifies revenue contracts whose terms are complex and require a
significant level of judgment. At contract inception, management assesses the products or services
promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to
transfer to the customer a product or service that is distinct, including evaluating whether the
contract includes a customer option for additional goods or services which could represent a
material right. The Company estimates the transaction price of the contract, including variable
consideration that is subject to a constraint. For commercial contracts, revenue is recognized at a
point in time, and the Company’s estimation of variable consideration includes allowances for
returns, certain fees, discounts, rebates and chargebacks. For CDMO arrangements, revenue is
recognized over time, and the Company uses an input method to measure progress toward the
satisfaction of the related performance obligation based on costs incurred as a percentage of total
costs to complete.

Auditing revenue recognition involved significant auditor judgment because it involves
subjective assumptions and estimates made by management. For example, auditing management’s
identification of performance obligations was challenging as contracts include implicit and explicit
goods and services. Further, significant judgment is required in the evaluation of whether the
identified promised goods and services are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the
context of the contract. In addition, the estimated rebates and returns for commercial arrangements
are subject to significant judgment because their expected value is based on assumptions including
sales or invoice data, expected utilization rates, historical payment experience, and changes in
product pricing. These estimates are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic
conditions and the competitive environment. Further, management’s estimate of the total costs as a
measure of progress to completion of the performance obligation requires the use of assumptions
and estimates. Finally, the identified material weakness relating to the technical accounting
assessment of specific attributes within complex revenue arrangements with customers affected our
audit procedures in this area.

How We
Addressed
the Matter
in Our
Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of

controls over the Company’s revenue recognition. For example, we tested controls over
management’s review over the assumptions used in the estimation of the rebates and returns, and
management’s review over the identification of actual costs incurred and the Company’s estimation
of total expected costs used in its measure of progress calculations. We also tested management’s
controls over the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the underlying calculations.

To test revenue recognized, our audit procedures included, among others, reading certain
executed contracts, understanding the methodologies utilized and testing the completeness and
accuracy of the information used in management’s assessment. For example, we inspected a sample
of the Company’s contracts and evaluated whether the performance obligations and pattern of
revenue recognition were appropriately identified based on the terms of the contract and in response
to the material weakness, we performed incremental audit procedures in this area specifically for
CDMO revenue contracts. To test management’s determination of variable consideration, we
reviewed the historical data and trends available and compared to management’s estimated rebates
and returns. To test management’s assumptions used in the Company’s determination of costs
applied to the input measure of progress, we tested, among other things, the Company’s approved
budgets and/or forecasts, inquired of operational personnel and reviewed project development
timelines to corroborate the measure of progress and tested the completeness and accuracy of the
underlying data.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements

1. Nature of the business and organization

Organization and business

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (the “Company” or “Emergent”) is a global life sciences company focused on

providing innovative preparedness and response solutions addressing accidental, deliberate, and naturally
occurring Public Health Threats (PHTs). The Company’s solutions include a product portfolio, a product
development portfolio, and a contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) services portfolio.

The Company is focused on the following five PHT categories: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and

explosives (CBRNE); emerging infectious diseases (EID); travel health; emerging health crises; and acute/
emergency care. The Company has a product portfolio of eleven products (vaccines, therapeutics, and drug-device
combination products) that contribute a substantial portion of its revenue. The Company has one product candidate
that is procured under special circumstances by the U.S. government (USG), although it is not approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company recently reorganized the structure of its business with a focus
on markets and customers. As such, the key components of the business structure include a Government - Medical
Countermeasures (MCM) business line, a Commercial business line and a Services line focused on CDMO.

The Company’s products and services include:

Government - MCM Products

▪ AV7909®, is a procured product candidate being developed as a next generation anthrax vaccine for
post- exposure prophylaxis of disease resulting from suspected or confirmed Bacillus anthracis
exposure. The USG has largely switched from procuring BioThrax to AV7909 for the Strategic National
Stockpile (SNS) prior to its approval by the FDA; and

▪ BioThrax®, the only vaccine licensed by the FDA, for the general use prophylaxis and post-exposure

prophylaxis of anthrax disease;

▪ ACAM2000®, the only single-dose smallpox vaccine licensed by the FDA for active immunization

against smallpox disease for persons determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection;

the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the prevention of cholera; and

▪ Vivotif® (Typhoid Vaccine Live Oral Ty21a), the only oral vaccine licensed by the FDA for the

prevention of typhoid fever.

Services - Contract Development and Manufacturing

The Company’s services line focused on CDMO offerings cover development services, drug substance
manufacturing, drug product manufacturing, and when necessary, suite reservations, which depending on facts
and circumstances could be considered a lease. These services are provided across the pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries as well as the USG and non-governmental organizations. The Company’s technology
platforms include mammalian, microbial, viral, and plasma utilizing the Company’s core capabilities for
manufacturing to third parties on a clinical and commercial (small and large) scale. Additional services include
fill/finish formulation and analytical development services for injectable and other sterile products, inclusive of
process design, technical transfer, manufacturing validations, aseptic filling, lyophilization, final packaging and
stability studies, as well as manufacturing of vial and pre-filled syringe formats on multiple platforms.

The Company operates as one operating segment.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emergent and its wholly

owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions
that affect reported amounts and disclosures for asset impairments, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful
accounts, inventory, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, contingent consideration, stock-based
compensation, income taxes, and other contingencies. Management continually re-evaluates its estimates,
judgments and assumptions. These estimates are sometimes complex, sensitive to changes in assumptions and
require fair value determinations using Level 3 fair value measurements. Actual results may differ materially
from those estimates.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase and

consist of time deposits and investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial
institutions. Also, the Company maintains cash balances with financial institutions in excess of insured limits.
Restricted cash includes cash that is not readily available for use in the Company’s operating activities.
Restricted cash is primarily comprised of cash pledged under letters of credit.

87

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability,

an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-tier fair value
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value include:

Level 1 — Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly

observable; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, which are therefore developed by

the Company using estimates and assumptions that reflect those that a market participant
would use.

On a recurring basis, the Company measures and records money market funds (level 1), contingent purchase

consideration (level 3) and interest-rate swap arrangements (level 2) using fair value measurements in the
accompanying financial statements. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments,
which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and convertible senior notes
approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-term
variable interest rate debt arrangements (level 2) approximate their fair values.

Significant customers and accounts receivable

Billed accounts receivable are stated at invoice amounts and consist of amounts due from the USG,
commercial CDMO customers, as well as amounts due under reimbursement contracts with other government
entities and non-government organizations. The Company’s branded and generic opioid overdose reversal
product is sold commercially through physician-directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies, as
well as state health departments, law enforcement agencies, state and local community based organizations,
substance abuse centers and federal agencies. If necessary, the Company records a reserve for doubtful
receivables to allow for amounts which may be unrecoverable. This provision is based upon an analysis of the
Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Amounts
determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve. Unbilled accounts receivable relates
to various service contracts for which work has been performed and the Company has a right to bill but invoicing
has not yet occurred. Contract assets include revenues recognized in advance of billings and the Company does
not have a right to invoice the customer under the terms of the contract. The Company has receivables from
contracts containing lease components. At each reporting period, the Company assesses whether it is probable
that the Company will collect all future lease payments. The Company considers payment history and current
credit status when assessing collectability. The Company does not adjust our receivables for the effects of a
significant financing component at contract inception if we expect to collect the receivables in one year or less
from the time of sale.

Concentration Risk

Customers

The Company has long-term contracts with the USG that expire at various times from 2022 through 2029.
The Company has derived a significant portion of its revenue from sales of ACAM2000 and Anthrax Vaccines
under contracts with the USG. The Company’s current USG contracts do not necessarily increase the likelihood
that it will secure future comparable contracts with the USG. The Company expects that a significant portion of
the business will continue to be under government contracts that present a number of risks that are not typically
present in the commercial contracting process. USG contracts for ACAM2000 and Anthrax Vaccines are subject
to unilateral termination or modification by the government. The Company may fail to achieve significant sales
of ACAM2000 and Anthrax Vaccines to customers in addition to the USG, which would harm their growth

88

opportunities. The Company’s other product sales, largely Nasal Naloxone Products, are largely sold
commercially through physician-directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies, as well as to state
health departments, local law enforcement agencies, community-based organizations, substance abuse centers
and other federal agencies. Our CDMO customers are generally third-party pharmaceutical companies.

Although the Company seeks to expand its customer base and to renew its agreements with its customers

prior to expiration of a contract, a delay in securing a renewal or a failure to secure a renewal or securing a
renewal on less favorable terms may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations.

The Company’s accounts receivable do not represent a significant concentration of credit risk. The USG
accounted for approximately 50%, 64% and 61% of total revenues for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, consist primarily of amounts due from the
USG or other large multi-national highly reputable customers for product sales, CDMO services or from
government agencies under government grants. Management does not deem credit risk to be significant.

Financial Institutions

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held

with banks that exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be
redeemed upon demand and are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and, therefore, bear
minimal credit risk.

Lender Counterparties

There is lender counterparty risk associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility and derivatives
instruments. There is risk that the Company’s revolving credit facility investors and derivative counterparties will
not be available to fund as obligated. If funding under the revolving credit facility is unavailable, the Company
may have to acquire a replacement credit facility from different counterparties at a higher cost or may be unable
to find a suitable replacement. The Company seeks to manage risks from its revolving credit facility and
derivative instruments by contracting with experienced large financial institutions and monitoring the credit
quality of its lenders. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by any of its
counterparties.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using a standard

cost method, which approximates average cost. Average cost consists primarily of material, labor and
manufacturing overhead expenses (including fixed production-overhead costs) and includes the services and
products of third-party suppliers. The Company analyzes its inventory levels quarterly and writes down, in the
applicable period, inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net
realizable value and inventory in excess of expected customer demand. The Company also writes off, in the
applicable period, the costs related to expired inventory. Costs of purchased inventories are recorded using
weighted-average costing. The Company determines normal capacity for each production facility and allocates
fixed production-overhead costs on that basis.

The Company records inventory acquired in business acquisitions utilizing the comparative sales method,

which estimates the expected sales price reduced for all costs expected to be incurred to complete/dispose of the
inventory with a profit on those costs.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. subject to

reviews for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the

89

asset may not be recoverable. The cost of normal, recurring or periodic repairs and maintenance activities related
to property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. The cost for planned major maintenance activities,
including the related acquisition or construction of assets, is capitalized if the repair will result in future
economic benefits.

Interest costs incurred during the construction of major capital projects are capitalized until the underlying

asset is ready for its intended use, at which point the interest costs are amortized as depreciation expense over the
life of the underlying asset.

The Company capitalizes internal-use software when both (a) the software is internally developed, acquired,
or modified solely to meet the entity’s internal needs and (b) during the software’s development or modification,
no substantive plan either exists or is being developed to market the software externally. Capitalization of
qualifying internal-use software costs begins when the preliminary project stage is completed, management with
the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly, authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and
it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended.

The Company generally depreciates or amortizes the cost of its property, plant and equipment using the

straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which are summarized as follows:

Land
Buildings
Building improvements
Furniture and equipment
Software
Leasehold improvements

Not depreciated
31-39 years
10-39 years
3-15 years
3-7 years
Lesser of the asset life or lease term

Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed

from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Repairs and maintenance
costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company determines the fair value of the property, plant and equipment acquired in a business

combination utilizing either the cost approach or the sales comparison approach. The cost approach is determined
by establishing replacement cost of the asset and then subtracting any value that has been lost due to economic
obsolescence, functional obsolescence, or physical deterioration. The sales comparison approach determines an
asset is equal to the market price of an asset of comparable features such as design, location, size, construction,
materials, use, capacity, specification, operational characteristics and other features or descriptions.

Income taxes

Income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset
and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis and net operating loss and R&D tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded as appropriate to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount considered likely to be realized.

Deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income

tax return purposes are recognized under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This
method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of the deferred income tax items and immediately
recognizes changes in income tax laws in the year of enactment.

90

The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends upon future taxable income as well as the
limitations discussed below. For financial reporting purposes, a deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation
allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized prior
to expiration. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the
need for valuation allowances. In general, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not to realize
more than the recorded amounts of net deferred tax assets in the future, the Company will reverse all or a portion
of the valuation allowance established against its deferred tax assets, resulting in a decrease to income taxes in
the period in which the determination is made. Likewise, if the Company determines that it is not more likely
than not to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, the Company will establish a valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets, with an offsetting increase to income taxes, in the period in which the
determination is made.

Under sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, if an ownership change occurs with respect to a

“loss corporation”, as defined therein, there are annual limitations on the amount of net operating losses and
deductions that are available. The Company has recognized the portion of net operating losses and R&D tax
credits acquired that will not be limited and are more likely than not to be realized.

Because tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, significant judgment is required. As a

result, the Company makes certain estimates and assumptions, in (1) calculating the Company’s income tax
expense, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, (2) determining any valuation allowance recorded against
deferred tax assets and (3) evaluating the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the interest and
penalties related to such uncertain tax positions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may differ from tax
benefits ultimately realized.

Asset Impairment Analysis

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible

and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not
amortized, but is reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s reporting units, which are
components of our business for which discrete cash flow information is available one level below its operating
segment. The Company evaluates goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually
as of October 1 and earlier if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not recover the carrying value
of the asset. If the Company believes that as a result of its qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, the
quantitative impairment test is not required. If however it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the
fair value of a reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, a
quantitative test is required.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed using a one-step process. The process is to compare
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying
amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, goodwill of the reporting unit is impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that
excess up to the total amount of goodwill included in the reporting unit.

When the Company has material indefinite lived intangible assets associated with in-process research and

development (IPR&D) a qualitative assessment is performed. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is not
more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount, the
Company compares the estimated fair value of the intangible with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the
intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Determining fair value requires the exercise of judgment about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates
and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows (see Note 7).

91

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are not required to be tested

for impairment annually. Instead, they are tested for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, such as when the disposal of such assets is likely or there is
an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related assets. If an impairment analysis is
required, the impairment test employed is based on whether the Company’s intent is to hold the asset for
continued use or to hold the asset for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset for continued use, the impairment test
first requires a comparison of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying
value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the asset would not be deemed to be recoverable.
Impairment would then be measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is
typically determined by discounting the future cash flows associated with that asset. If the intent is to hold the
asset for sale and certain other criteria are met, the impairment test involves comparing the asset’s carrying value
to its fair value less costs to sell. To the extent the carrying value is greater than the asset’s fair value less costs to
sell, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. Significant judgments used for long-
lived asset impairment assessments include identifying the appropriate asset groupings and primary assets within
those groupings, determining whether events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable, determining the future cash flows for the assets involved and assumptions applied in
determining fair value, which include, reasonable discount rates, growth rates, market risk premiums and other
assumptions about the economic environment.

Contingent Consideration

In connection with the Company’s acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, the Company
records contingent consideration associated with sales-based royalties, sales-based milestones and development
and regulatory milestones at fair value. The fair value model used to calculate these obligations is based on the
income approach (a discounted cash flow model) that has been risk adjusted based on the probability of
achievement of net sales and achievement of the milestones. The inputs the Company uses for determining the
fair value of the contingent consideration associated with sales-based royalties, sales-based milestones and
development and regulatory milestones are Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company re-evaluates the fair
value on a quarterly basis. Changes in the fair value can result from adjustments to the discount rates and updates
in the assumed timing of or achievement of net sales and/or the achievement of development and regulatory
milestones. Any future increase or decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with
sales-based royalties and sales-based milestones along with development and regulatory milestones are based on
an assessment of the likelihood that the underlying net sales or milestones will be achieved.

The associated payments which will become due and payable for sales-based royalties and milestones result

in a charge to cost of product sales in the period in which the increase is determined. Similarly, any future
decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with sales-based royalties and sales-based
milestones will result in a reduction in cost of product sales. The changes in fair value for potential future sales-
based royalties associated with product candidates in development will result in a charge to cost of product sales
in the period in which the increase is determined.

Leases

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, R&D facilities and manufacturing facilities. The

Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases with future minimum lease
payments in excess of 12 months and total lease payments greater than $0.1 million are included in right-of-use
(ROU) assets and liabilities. The Company has elected to record expense on a cash basis for leases with
minimum lease payments of 12 months or less and/or total lease payments less $0.1 million.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities
represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and
liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate
based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The Company uses an implicit rate when readily determinable. At the beginning of a lease, the operating lease

ROU asset also includes any concentrated lease payments expected to be paid and excludes lease incentives. The
Company’s lease ROU asset may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that
the Company will exercise those options.

Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company

has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the Company’s customers obtain control of promised goods or
services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for
those goods or services by analyzing the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer(s); (2)
identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation.

Multiple performance obligations

At contract inception, the Company assesses the products or services promised in a contract and identifies a
performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a product or service that is distinct, including
evaluating whether the contract includes a customer option for additional goods or services which could
represent a material right. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or
service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606. Contracts sometimes include more than one
product, a lease, or options for customers to purchase additional products or services in the future for free or at a
discount, which gives rise to separate performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance
obligations, the Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone
selling price basis using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or
service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the price observed in
standalone sales to customers, however when prices in standalone sales are not available the Company may use
third-party pricing for similar products or services or estimate the standalone selling price. Allocation of the
transaction price is determined at the contracts’ inception.

Transaction price and variable consideration

Once the performance obligations in the contract have been identified, the Company estimates the

transaction price of the contract. The estimate includes amounts that are fixed as well as those that can vary based
on expected outcomes of the activities or contractual terms. The Company’s variable consideration includes net
profit received from sales of the Company’s generic Nasal naloxone product, certain products sold on a net basis,
cost-plus-fee contract terms and consideration transferred under its development contracts as consideration
received can vary based on developmental progression of the product candidate. When a contract’s transaction
price includes variable consideration, the Company evaluates the variable consideration to determine whether the
estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, the Company includes the variable consideration in the transaction
price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue
recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently
resolved. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. There were no significant
constraints or material changes to the Company’s variable consideration estimates as of or during the twelve
months ended December 31, 2021.

93

Product sales

For our product sales, we recognize revenue at a point in time when the Company’s performance obligations

have been satisfied and control of the products transfer to the customer. To indicate the transfer of control the
Company will have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer, and the customer
must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership. This point in time depends on several factors,
including delivery, transfer of legal title, transition of risk and rewards of the product to the customer and the
Company’s right to payment.

The Company’s contracts for the sale of the Company’s Government - MCM products include certain
acceptance criteria before title passes to the customer. The primary customer for the Company’s Government -
MCM products and the primary source of funding for the development of its MCM product candidate portfolio is
the USG. The USG contracts for the sale of the Company’s Government - MCM products are normally multi-
year contracts with annual options.

For the Company’s commercial products, upon transfer of control of the goods the Company reflects

estimates of the consideration that the Company expects. Prior to recognizing revenue, the Company makes
estimates of the transaction price, including variable consideration that is subject to a constraint. Estimates of
variable consideration include allowances for returns, specialty distributor fees, wholesaler fees, prompt payment
discounts, government rebates, chargebacks and rebates under managed care plans.

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative

revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with such variable consideration is
subsequently resolved. Provisions for variable consideration revenues from sales of products are recorded at the
net sales price. Calculating certain of these provisions involves estimates and judgments and the Company
determines their expected value based on sales or invoice data, contractual terms, historical utilization rates, new
information regarding changes in these programs’ regulations and guidelines that would impact the amount of the
actual rebates, the Company’s expectations regarding future utilization rates for these programs and channel
inventory data. These provisions reflect the Company’s best estimate of the amount of consideration to which the
Company is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The Company reassesses the Company’s provisions for
variable consideration at each reporting date.

CDMO services

The Company performs CDMO services for third parties. Under these contracts, activities can include drug

substance and drug product manufacturing services for injectable and other sterile products, and development
services such as pharmaceutical product process development, process design, technology transfer,
manufacturing validations, laboratory analytical development support, aseptic filling, lyophilization, final
packaging, stability studies, and suite-reservations. These contracts vary in duration, activities, and number of
performance obligations. Performance obligations identified under these arrangements may include drug
substance and/or drug product manufacturing, technology transfer activities, and suite-reservations.

Drug substance, drug product manufacturing, development services and technology transfer performance
obligations are recognized as revenue over-time because the Company’s performance does not create an asset
with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed as work
is performed. In drug product arrangements, the customer typically owns and supplies the active pharmaceutical
ingredient (API), that is used in the manufacturing process; in drug substance arrangements, the customer
provides certain seed material that is used in the manufacturing process. The transaction price generally contains
both a fixed and variable component. The fixed component is stated in the agreement as a fixed price per unit
with no contractual provision for a refund or price concession and the variable component generally results from
pass-through costs that are billed at cost-plus over the life of the contract. The Company uses an input method to
measure progress toward the satisfaction of the related performance obligations based on costs incurred as a
percentage of total costs to complete which the Company believes best depicts the transfer of control of goods or
services promised to its customers.

94

Suite reservations are classified as leases when the customer directs the use of the identified suite and
obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the manufacturing capacity. If a customer reserves more than
one suite, the allocation of contract value is based on relative selling price which varies due to size, location,
capacity, production capability for drug product or drug substance, and the time of planned use. The associated
revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of performance. For arrangements that contain both
lease and non-lease components, consideration in the contract is allocated on a relative standalone selling price
basis.

The Company’s CDMO customer contracts generally include provisions entitling the Company to a
termination penalty when the contract is terminated prior to the contract’s nominal end date. The termination
penalties in the customer contracts vary but are generally considered substantive for accounting purposes and
create enforceable rights and obligations throughout the stated duration of the contract. The Company accounts
for a contract cancellation as a contract modification. The determination of the contract termination penalty is
based on the terms stated in the related customer agreement. As of the modification date, the Company updates
its estimate of the transaction price, subject to constraints, and recognizes the amount over the remaining
performance period or measure of progress under the arrangement.

For contracts that contain lease components, the Company assesses the collectability of the lease payments.
If the collectability of the lease payments is probable, the Company recognizes lease income over the term of the
lease on a straight-line basis. If collectability is not deemed probable at any time during the term of the lease, the
Company’s lease income is limited to the lesser of (i) the lease payments that have been collected from the
lessee, or the straight-line recognition of the contract value. If the collectability assessment changes to probable
after the Company has determined collectability is not deemed probable, any difference between the lease
income that would have been recognized if collectability had always been assessed as probable and the lease
income recognized to date is recognized as a current-period adjustment to lease income. Changes to the
collectability of operating leases are recorded as adjustments to lease income in the consolidated statements of
operations in the period that they occur.

Contracts and grants

The Company generates contract and grant revenue primarily from cost-plus-fee contracts associated with

development of certain product candidates. Revenues from reimbursable contracts are recognized as costs are
incurred, generally based on allowable costs incurred during the period, plus any recognizable earned fee. The
Company uses this input method to measure progress as the customer has access to the development research
under these projects and benefits incrementally as R&D activities occur. When applicable, the Company
considers fixed fees under cost-plus-fee contracts to be earned in proportion to the allowable costs incurred in
performance of the contract, the cost-to-cost measure of progress. The Company analyzes costs for contracts and
reimbursable grants to ensure reporting of revenues gross versus net is appropriate. The USG contracts for the
development of the Company’s MCM product candidates are normally multi-year contracts.

Research and development

The Company expenses R&D costs as incurred. The Company’s R&D expenses consist primarily of:

▪

▪

▪

▪

personnel-related expenses;

fees to professional service providers for, among other things, analytical testing, independent monitoring
or other administration of the Company’s clinical trials and obtaining and evaluating data from the
Company’s clinical trials and non-clinical studies;

costs of CDMO services for clinical trial material; and

costs of materials used in clinical trials and R&D.

95

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other changes in equity that are excluded from net
income. The Company includes translation gains and losses incurred when converting its subsidiaries’ financial
statements from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar in accumulated other comprehensive income as well
as gains and losses on its pension benefit obligation and derivative instruments.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

For our non-U.S. subsidiaries that transact in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and
liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are
translated at the average foreign currency exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of the financial statements of our foreign operations into U.S. dollars are excluded from the
determination of net income and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate
component of equity. For subsidiaries where the functional currency of the assets and liabilities differ from the
local currency, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the date
assets were acquired while monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange as of the
balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign currency rates for the period.
Translation adjustments of these subsidiaries are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated
statements of income.

Earnings per share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed using the
treasury method by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of other securities if such securities were converted or
exercised and are not anti-dilutive.

Treasury stock

When stock is acquired for purposes other than formal or constructive retirement, the purchase price of the

acquired stock is recorded in a separate treasury stock account, which is separately reported as a reduction of
equity.

When stock is retired or purchased for formal or constructive retirement, the purchase price is initially
recorded as a reduction to the par value of the shares repurchased, with any excess purchase price over par value
recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital related to the series of shares repurchased and any remainder
excess purchase price recorded as a reduction to retained earnings. If the purchase price exceeds the amounts
allocated to par value and additional paid-in capital related to the series of shares repurchased and retained
earnings, the remainder is allocated to additional paid-in capital related to other series of shares.

To determine the cost of treasury stock that is either sold or reissued, the Company uses the last in, first out
method. If the proceeds from the re-issuance of treasury stock are greater than the cost, the excess is recorded as
additional paid-in capital. If the proceeds from re-issuance of treasury stock are less than the cost, the excess cost
first reduces any additional paid-in capital arising from previous treasury stock transactions for that class of
stock, and any additional excess is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.

Accounting for stock-based compensation

The Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, the Emergent BioSolutions Inc. Stock

Incentive Plan (the Emergent Plan), under which the Company may grant various types of equity awards
including stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units.

96

The terms and conditions of equity awards (such as price, vesting schedule, term and number of shares)
under the Emergent Plan is determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors,
which administers the Emergent Plan. Each equity award granted under the Emergent Plan vests as specified in
the relevant agreement with the award recipient and no option can be exercised after seven years from the date of
grant. The Company records the estimated fair value of awards in expense on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Where awards are made with non-substantive
vesting periods (for instance, where a portion of the award vests upon retirement eligibility), the Company
estimates and recognizes expense based on the period from the grant date to the date the employee becomes
retirement eligible.

The Company determines the fair value of restricted stock units using the closing market price of the
Company’s common stock on the day prior to the date of grant. The Company’s performance stock units settle in
the Company’s stock. The fair value is determined on the date of the grant using the number of shares expected
to be earned and the ending market value of the stock on the day prior to the grant date. The number of shares
expected to vest is determined by assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met and the
associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of all stock options
granted. Set forth below is a discussion of the Company’s methodology for developing each of the assumptions
used:

▪

▪

Expected dividend yield — the Company does not pay regular dividends on its common stock and does
not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Expected volatility — a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as share price, has
fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (implied volatility) during a period. The
Company analyzed its own historical volatility to estimate expected volatility over the same period as
the expected average life of the options.

▪ Risk-free interest rate — the range of U.S. Treasury rates with a term that most closely resembles the

expected life of the option as of the date on which the option is granted.

▪

Expected average life of options — the period of time that options granted are expected to remain
outstanding, based primarily on the Company’s expectation of option exercise behavior subsequent to
vesting of options.

Pension plans

The Company maintains defined benefit plans for employees in certain countries outside the U.S., including
retirement benefit plans required by applicable local law. The plans are valued by independent actuaries using the
projected unit credit method. The liabilities correspond to the projected benefit obligations of which the
discounted net present value is calculated based on years of employment, expected salary increase, and pension
adjustments. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the
assumptions based on current rates and trends. Actuarial gains and losses are deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of tax and are amortized over the remaining service attribution periods of the
employees under the corridor method. Differences between the expected long-term return on plan assets and the
actual annual return are amortized to net periodic benefit cost over the estimated remaining life as a component
of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.

The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through
management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate,

97

liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and
the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to
manage exposures that arise from the Company’s senior secured credit agreement’s payments of variable interest
rate debt.

The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. All derivatives are

recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Hedge accounting provides for the matching of the timing of gain or
loss recognition on these interest rate swaps with the recognition of the changes in interest expense on the
Company’s variable rate debt. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss
on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into
interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest
payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The cash flows from the designated interest rate swaps
are classified as a component of operating cash flows, similar to interest expense.

The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including

discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the
contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based
inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined
using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the
discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on
an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To
comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company incorporates credit valuation
adjustments in the fair value measurements to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the
respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments were concluded to not be
significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of the
Company’s derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, it has considered the impact of netting and
any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The
valuation of interest rate swaps fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 9 for further details on the
interest rate swaps.

Out-of-period adjustments

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company identified and recorded immaterial out-of-period

adjustments. In prior years, the Company had recognized revenue for drug substance and drug product
manufacturing performance obligations when the goods were released, legal title had passed and the customer had
possession. Beginning in 2021, the Company began recognizing revenue over time using an input measure based on
costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated contract costs for drug substance and drug product revenue. As
batch production and fill-finish manufacturing generally take place over short intervals, the adjustments to the
financial statements were not material. Additionally, the Company determined that the classification of its suite
reservations, when the customer directs the use of the identified suite and obtains substantially all the economic
benefits reflected in CDMO service revenue, are more appropriately classified as leases. Although either
classification generally results in recognition of revenue on a straight line basis over-time, the Company identified
one lease component commencement date change which impacted the revenue recognized during our 2020 and
2021 periods. The Company has included incremental lease accounting disclosures in these financial statements (see
Note 3).

98

The Company evaluated the materiality of the out-of-period adjustments from quantitative and qualitative
perspectives and concluded that the amounts were immaterial to the Company’s prior period interim and annual
consolidated financial statements. As a result, no amendments to previously filed interim or annual periodic
reports are required. These out-of-period adjustments in the current consolidated statements of operations are as
follows:

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company revised its presentation on the

consolidated statement of operations to separately present (i) lease revenue as opposed to combining with CDMO
services revenues and (ii) cost of CDMO services as opposed to combining with cost of product sales. As the
Company’s lease revenue is solely associated with CDMO services and is substantially related to one
arrangement which ended in 2021, the Company has combined the costs of CDMO services and leases on the
consolidated statement of operations. All associated prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current period presentation.

Recently issued accounting standards

Recently Adopted

ASU 2019-12, Simplifications to Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12)

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for

recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period allocation and calculating income taxes in
interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including deferred taxes for
goodwill and allocating taxes for members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for all entities for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and earlier adoption is permitted. As of January 1, 2021, the
Company adopted the standard, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on

Financial Reporting

In March 2020, the FASB issued Topic 848, which was further amended in January 2021. Topic 848
provides relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. ASC 848 contains optional
expedients and exceptions to debt arrangements, contracts, hedging relationships, and other areas or transactions
that are impacted by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective upon issuance for all entities and elections
of certain optional expedients are required to apply the provisions of the guidance. The Company continues to
assess all potential impacts of the standard and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the
Company makes.

total revenues.

BARDA Centers of Innovation and Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CIADM) agreement

The Company and BARDA had a CIADM agreement which began in June 2012 and terminated on
November 1, 2021. The value of this base arrangement was $163.2 million and was recorded as a stand-ready
performance obligation and reflected as a component of contracts and grants revenue in the consolidated
statements of operations. In 2020, we announced that we had been issued a task order under CIADM for
COVID-19 vaccine development and manufacturing (the BARDA COVID-19 Development Public Private
Partnership). The task order and associated amendments which allowed BARDA to reserve drug substance and
drug product manufacturing capacity at various manufacturing sites had a contract value of $650.8 million that
was accounted for as a lease. On November 1, 2021, the Company and BARDA mutually agreed to terminate the
CIADM agreement and associated task orders which resulted in an adjusted contract value of $140.5 million for
the base arrangement and $470.9 million for the BARDA COVID-19 Development Public Private Partnership.
For the base arrangement, the Company released $55.2 million of contract liabilities which is reflected as a

100

component of contract and grants revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. Total revenues
associated with the base arrangement were $71.3 million, $15.8 million and $15.8 million during the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and are reflected as a component of contracts and grants revenue on the
consolidated statements of operations. Revenues associated with the BARDA COVID-19 Development Public-
Private Partnership were $237.6 million and $233.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
and are recorded as CDMO leases on the consolidated statements of operations. There were no revenues from the
BARDA COVID-19 Development Public- Private Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2019. The
termination resulted in the write off of $38.0 million in contract assets to R&D expense on the consolidated
statements of operations.

CDMO Operating Leases

Certain multi-year CDMO service arrangements with non-USG customers include operating leases whereby

the customer has the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of specific
manufacturing suites operated by the Company. The associated revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease. The remaining term on the Company’s operating lease components approximates
3.0 years. The Company utilizes a cost-plus model to determine the stand-alone selling price of the lease
component to allocate contract consideration between the lease and non-lease components. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, the Company’s non-USG lease revenues were $62.1 million, which is included within
CDMO leases in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has allocated contracted operating lease
revenues due under our long-term CDMO service arrangements as follows:

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

As of December 31, 2021, the Company expects future revenues of approximately $1.3 billion associated

with all arrangements entered into by the Company. The Company expects to recognize a majority of the
$1.3 billion of unsatisfied performance obligations within the next 24 months. The amount and timing of revenue
recognition for unsatisfied performance obligations can change. The future revenues associated with unsatisfied
performance obligations exclude the value of unexercised option periods in the Company’s revenue
arrangements. Often the timing of manufacturing activities changes based on customer needs and resource
availability. Regulatory compliance may also impact the status of the Company’s COVID-19 related CDMO
arrangements. Government funding appropriations can impact the timing of product deliveries. The success of
the Company’s development activities that receive development funding support from the USG under
development contracts can also impact the timing of revenue recognition.

Contract assets

The Company considers unbilled accounts receivable and deferred costs associated with revenue generating

contracts, which are not included in inventory or property, plant and equipment, as contract assets. As of
December 31, 2021, the Company had $21.5 million from revenue generating contracts recorded within accounts
receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, deferred costs from revenue
generating contracts recorded as contract assets were $41.1 million, which is reflected as a component of other
assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

101

Contract liabilities

When performance obligations are not transferred to a customer at the end of a reporting period, cash
received associated with the amount allocated to those performance obligations is reflected as contract liabilities
on the consolidated balance sheets and is deferred until control of these performance obligations is transferred to
the customer. The following table presents the roll forward of the contract liabilities:

Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration liabilities associated with business combinations are measured at fair value. These

liabilities represent an obligation of the Company to transfer additional assets to the selling shareholders and
owners if future events occur or conditions are met. These liabilities associated with business combinations are
measured at fair value at inception and at each subsequent reporting date. The changes in the fair value are
primarily due to the expected amount and timing of future net sales, which are inputs that have no observable
market. Any changes in fair value for the contingent consideration liabilities related to the Company’s products
are classified in the Company’s statement of operations as cost of product sales. Any changes in fair value for the
contingent consideration liabilities related to the Company’s product candidates are recorded in R&D expense for
regulatory and development milestones.

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the contingent consideration

liabilities measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Non-Variable Rate Debt

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s 3.875% Senior
Unsecured Notes was $433.3 million and $466.0 million, respectively. The fair value was determined through
market sources, which are level 2 inputs and directly observable. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other
long-term variable interest rate debt arrangements approximate their fair values (see Note 8).

Non-recurring fair value measurements

Separate disclosure is required for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis from

those measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, other than those
outlined in Note 7, there were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

As a result of the Company’s expectation that it would not generate future cash flows to recover the asset
balance of the Company’s IPR&D intangible asset, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge
of $29.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. As such, there is no remaining balance recorded on
the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The impairment charge is reflected
as a component of R&D expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31,

On October 1, 2021, the date of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company

reorganized its lines of business resulting in a change in the composition of two of its reporting units. The
Company performed quantitative tests to determine fair values of the reporting units using both a market based
(comparable company multiple) and income based (discounted cash flows) approach, each a level three non
recurring fair value measurement, of the reporting units both before and after the reorganization of the lines of
business and its reporting units and determined that there was a goodwill impairment of $41.7 million associated
with the new commercial reporting unit. The Company utilized a quantitative assessment for our goodwill
impairment testing of one reporting unit in 2020. The Company used a qualitative assessment for our goodwill
impairment testing for all other reporting units in 2020. The assessments completed during the year ended 2020
indicated no impairment.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $2.0 million and $1.6 million of debt issuance
costs associated with the revolver loan that were classified as other current assets and other assets, respectively,
on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because there was no outstanding revolver balance at December
31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $2.0 million and $3.5 million of debt
issuance costs associated with the revolver loan that were classified as other current assets and other assets,
respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because there was an outstanding revolver balance at
December 31, 2020.

3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028

On August 7, 2020, the Company completed its offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount of
3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the 2028 Notes) of which the majority of the net proceeds were used

106

to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable on February
15th and August 15th of each year until maturity, beginning on February 15, 2021. The 2028 Notes will mature
on August 15, 2028.

On or after August 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at the
redemption prices set forth in the related Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to August 15, 2023
the Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the 2028 Notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to August 15,
2023, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes using the net
cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the related Indenture. Upon the
occurrence of a change of control, the Company must offer to repurchase the 2028 Notes at a purchase price of
101% of the principal amount of such 2028 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Negative covenants in the Indenture governing the 2028 Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the

Company to incur indebtedness and liens, dispose of assets, make investments, enter into certain merger or
consolidation transactions and make restricted payments.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

Also on August 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the Credit Agreement

Amendment) to its senior secured credit agreement, dated October 15, 2018, with multiple lending institutions
relating to the Company’s senior secured credit facilities (the Credit Agreement, and as amended, the Amended
Credit Agreement), consisting of a senior revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) and senior term
loan facility (the Term Loan Facility, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities). The Credit Agreement Amendment amended, among other things, the definition of incremental
facilities limit, the consolidated net leverage ratio financial covenant by increasing the maximum level, increased
the permissible applicable margins based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio and increased the
commitment fee that the Company is required to pay in respect of the average daily unused commitments under
the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes (i) a Revolving Credit Facility of $600 million with a maturity

date of October 13, 2023, and (ii) a Term Loan Facility with a principal amount of $450 million. The Company
may request incremental term loan facilities or increases in the Revolving Credit Facility (each an Incremental
Loan) as long as certain requirements involving our net leverage ratio will be maintained on a pro forma basis.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to (a) a eurocurrency rate plus a margin ranging from 1.3% to 2.3% per annum, depending on the
Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or (b) a base rate (which is the highest of the prime rate, the federal
funds rate plus 0.5%, and a eurocurrency rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.0% plus a margin
ranging from 0.3% to 1.3%, depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Company is
required to make quarterly payments on the last business day of each calendar quarter under the Amended Credit
Agreement for accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance, based on the above interest
rates. In addition, the Company is required to pay commitment fees ranging from 0.2% to 0.4% per annum,
depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, for the average daily unused commitments under
the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan
Facility in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter based on an annual percentage
equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility during each of the first two years of the
Term Loan Facility, 5.0% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility during the third year of the
Term Loan Facility and 7.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility during each year of the
remainder of the term of the Term Loan Facility until the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility, at which time
the entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan Facility will be due and payable. The Company has the
right to prepay the Term Loan Facility without premium or penalty. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term
Loan Facility mature on October 13, 2023.

107

The Amended Credit Agreement also requires mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan Facility in the
event the Company or its subsidiaries (a) incur indebtedness not otherwise permitted under the Amended Credit
Agreement or (b) receive cash proceeds in excess of $100 million during the term of the Credit Agreement from
certain dispositions of property or from casualty events involving their property, subject to certain reinvestment
rights. The financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement currently require the quarterly presentation
of a minimum consolidated 12-month rolling debt service coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0, and a maximum
consolidated net leverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0 (subject to an increase to 5.0 to 1.0 for an applicable four quarter
period, at the election of the Company, in connection with a permitted acquisition having an aggregate
consideration in excess of $75.0 million). Negative covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, among other
things, limit the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness and liens, dispose of assets, make investments,
enter into certain merger or consolidation transactions and make restricted payments. As of the date of these
financial statements, the Company is in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants.

2.875% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021

On January 29, 2014, the Company issued 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the Notes). The Notes

bore interest at a rate of 2.875% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each
year. The Notes matured and were paid on January 15, 2021.

11. Income taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded as
appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized.

The GILTI provisions require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings

in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. The Company is subject to incremental
U.S. tax on GILTI income. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred,
and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. BEAT provisions do not have material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities

for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries that were deemed indefinitely reinvested.
Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liabilities on these outside basis differences is
not practicable because such liability, if any, depends on certain circumstances existing if and when remittance
occurs. A deferred tax liability will be recognized if and when the Company no longer plans to indefinitely
reinvest these undistributed earnings.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has approximately $36.0 million ($7.6 million tax effected) in U.S.

federal net operating loss carryforwards. The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards are recorded with a
$4.7 million valuation allowance. States have their own statutes concerning whether a NOL should be carried
forward pre or post apportionment. The US federal and state R&D tax credit carryforwards of $14.5 million have
a valuation allowance in the amount of $9.1 million. The net operating loss carryforwards and the R&D tax
credits will begin to expire in 2031 and 2024, respectively. Certain of the net operating loss carryforwards and
the R&D tax credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation pursuant to Internal Revenue Code
Section 382 and 383.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had pre-apportionment state NOLs totaling approximately
$1,083.9 million (de minimis when tax effected) primarily in Maryland which will begin to expire in 2025 and
post- apportionment NOLs totaling approximately $76.4 million ($3.2 million tax effected) primarily in
California that will begin to expire in 2025. The U.S. state tax loss carryforwards are recorded with a valuation
allowance of $79.4 million ($3.2 million tax effected).

The Company has approximately $46.7 million ($8.2 million tax effected) in net operating losses from
foreign jurisdictions as of December 31, 2021, some of which have an indefinite life (unless the foreign entities
have a change in the nature or conduct of the business in the three years following a change in ownership), and
some of which begin to expire in 2022. A valuation allowance in respect to these foreign losses has been
recorded in the tax effected amount of $6.0 million. The change in foreign losses and the corresponding valuation
allowance is primarily attributable to liquidation of an inactive foreign entity during the year.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has approximately $2.1 million in Manitoba scientific research and
experimental development credit carryforwards that will begin to expire in 2040. The use of any of these net operating
losses and R&D tax credit carryforwards may be restricted due to future changes in the Company’s ownership.

The effective annual tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was 27%, 25% and

30%, respectively.

The effective annual tax rate of 27% in 2021 is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of
goodwill impairment, state taxes, GILTI and other non-deductible items. This is partially offset by stock option
deduction benefits, tax credits, and favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions. The jurisdictional mix of profit has
changed from the prior year largely due to lower US CDMO margins, the termination of the CIADM
arrangement in the US and an increase in sales of NARCAN in which a portion of the profit is attributable to a
foreign subsidiary.

The effective annual tax rate of 25% in 2020 is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of
state taxes, GILTI, contingent consideration, other non-deductible items and the jurisdictional mix of earnings.
This is partially offset by stock option deduction benefits, tax credits, and favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions.

The effective annual tax rate of 30% in 2019 is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of

state taxes, GILTI, contingent consideration, and other non-deductible items. This is partially offset by stock
option deduction benefits, tax credits, and favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company recognizes interest in interest expense and recognizes potential penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits in selling, general and administrative expense. The total unrecognized tax benefits
recorded at December 31, 2021 and 2020 of $9.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively, is classified as a
non-current liability on the balance sheet.

The total gross unrecognized tax benefit of $9.8 million, includes $7.4 million that relates to the 2018
acquisition of PaxVax Holdings Company, Ltd., which is entirely offset by a $7.4 million receivable pursuant to
a Tax Indemnity Agreement that became effective as at the close of the acquisition.

When resolved, substantially all of these liabilities would impact the effective tax rate.

The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for the tax years 2017 and onwards remain open to
examination. The Company’s tax returns for Canada remain open to examination for the tax years 2013 to 2020.
The Company’s Irish tax returns remain open to examination for the tax years 2015 to 2019.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s Canadian 2019 and 2020 Scientific Research and Experimental
Development Claim is under audit. The Company’s 2016 and 2017 Canadian income tax returns for the Adapt
entities are under audit.

12. Defined benefit and 401(k) savings plan

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees in Switzerland (the
Swiss Plan). Under the Swiss Plan, the Company and certain of its employees with annual earnings in excess of
government determined amounts are required to make contributions into a fund managed by an independent
investment fiduciary. Employer contributions must be in an amount at least equal to the employee’s contribution.
The Swiss Plan’s assets are comprised of an insurance contract that has a fair value consistent with its contract
value based on the practicability exception using level 3 inputs. The entire liability is listed as non-current
because plan assets are greater than the expected benefit payments over the next year. The Company recognized
pension expense related to the Swiss Plan of $2.0 million, $2.4 million and $1.5 million reflected as a component
of selling, general and administrative for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares

of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed using the treasury method
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of other securities if such securities were converted or exercised
and are not anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the share-based awards that are not considered in the diluted net income per

share calculation generally because the exercise price of the awards was greater than the average per share
closing price during the year ending December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. In certain instances awards may be anti-
dilutive even if the average market price exceeds the exercise price when the sum of the assumed proceeds
exceeds the difference between the market price and the exercise price.

respectively, of materials under these commitments.

16. Segment information

The Company reports financial information for one reportable segment. This reportable segment engages in

business activities based on financial information that is provided to and resources which are allocated by the
Chief Operating Decision Maker. The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

For years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had long-lived assets outside of the United

States of approximately $111.9 million and $98.6 million, respectively, which are primarily located within
Canada and Switzerland.

17. Litigation

Securities and Share holder Litigation

On April 20, 2021, May 14, 2021, and June 2, 2021, purported class action lawsuits were filed against the
Company and certain of its current and former senior officers in the United States District Court for the District
of Maryland on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s common stock, seeking to pursue remedies under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). These complaints were filed by Plaintiff Palm Tran, Inc. –
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1577 Pension Plan; Plaintiff Alan I. Roth; and Plaintiff Stephen M. Weiss,
respectively. The complaints allege, among other things, that the defendants disseminated materially false and
misleading information about its capabilities to manufacture COVID-19 vaccine bulk drug substance in violation
of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. These cases were
consolidated on December 23, 2021, under the caption In re Emergent BioSolutions Inc. Securities Litigation,
No. 8:21-cv-00955-PWG. The Lead Plaintiffs in the consolidated matter are Nova Scotia Health Employees’
Pension Plan and The City of Fort Lauderdale Police & Firefighters’ Retirement System. The Lead Plaintiff is to
prepare an amended consolidated complaint by March 10, 2022. The defendants believe that the allegations in
the complaints are without merit and intend to defend the matters vigorously. Given the uncertainty of litigation,
the preliminary stage of the cases, and the legal standards that must be met for, among other things, class
certification and success on the merits, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of
loss, if any, that may result from the consolidated action.

119

With respect to the specific legal proceedings and claims described below, unless otherwise noted, the

amount or range of possible losses is not reasonably estimable. There can be no assurance that the settlement,
resolution, or other outcome of one or more matters, including the matters set forth below, during any subsequent
reporting period will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for
that period or on the Company’s financial condition.

On June 29, 2021, Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund and on August 16, 2021, Pooja Sayal, filed putative
stockholder derivative lawsuits in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on behalf of the
Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duties, waste of
corporate assets, and unjust enrichment, each allegation related to the Company’s capabilities to manufacture
COVID-19 vaccine bulk drug substance. In addition to monetary damages, the complaints seek the
implementation of multiple corporate governance and internal policy changes. On November 16, 2021, both
cases were consolidated under the caption In re Emergent BioSolutions Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation,
Master File No. 8:21-cv-01595- PWG. The defendants believe that the allegations in the complaints are without
merit and intend to defend the matter vigorously.

On September 15, 2021, September 16, 2021, and November 12, 2021, putative stockholder derivative
lawsuits were filed by Chang Kyum Kim, Mark Nevins and Employees Retirement System of the State of Rhode
Island, North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District Firefighters Pension Plan, and Pembroke Pines
Firefighters & Police Officers Pension Fund in The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on behalf of the
Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust
enrichment and insider trading, each allegation related to the Company’s capabilities to manufacture COVID-19
vaccine bulk drug substance. In addition to monetary damages, the complaints seek the implementation of
multiple corporate governance and internal policy changes. On February 2, 2022, the cases were consolidated
under the caption In re Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. Derivative Litigation, C.A. No. 2021-0974-MTZ with the
institutional investors as co-lead plaintiffs. The defendants believe that the allegations in the complaints are
without merit and intend to defend the matters vigorously.

On December 3, 2021, December 22, 2021 and January 18, 2022, putative stockholder derivative lawsuits

were filed by Zachary Elton, Eric White and Jeffrey Reynolds in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County,
Maryland on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors for breach of
fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, failing to maintain internal controls, making or
causing to be made false and/or misleading statements and material omissions, insider trading and otherwise
violating the laws, each allegation related to the Company’s capabilities to manufacture COVID-19 vaccine bulk
drug substance. The complaints seek monetary and punitive damages. The defendants believe that the allegations
in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend the matters vigorously.

In addition to the above actions, the Company has received preliminary inquiries and subpoenas to produce

documents related to these matters from Representative Carolyn Maloney and Representative Jim Clyburn,
members of the Oversight Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Senator Murray of
the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the
Department of Justice, the SEC, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, and the New York Attorney General’s
Office. The Company is producing and has produced documents as required in response and will continue to
cooperate with these government inquiries.

Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt Pharma subsidiaries (Emergent) are as follows: Emergent Devices Inc.

ANDA Litigation - Teva 4mg

Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt Pharma subsidiaries EBPA and EIRE, and Opiant Pharmaceuticals Inc.
(Opiant) received notice letters from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Limited and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA
(collectively, Teva) that Teva had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the FDA seeking
regulatory approval to market a generic version of NARCAN® (naloxone HCI) Nasal Spray 4 mg/spray before
the expiration of certain patents listed on the FDA’s website for Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations (Orange Book Listed Patents) for NARCAN. Teva’s notice letters alleged that claims of
certain Orange Book Listed Patents for NARCAN were invalid and/or would not be infringed by the activities
described in Teva’s ANDA. Emergent and Opiant filed complaints against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the
District of New Jersey alleging infringement of certain Orange Book Listed Patents for NARCAN. On June 5,
2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey ruled in favor of Teva. Emergent appealed the
District of New Jersey’s decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). On February 10, 2022,
the CAFC issued a decision affirming the District Court’s decision and the Company intends to petition for a
rehearing.

Emergent filed suit in the Federal Court in Canada against Teva Pharmaceuticals in July 2020. The litigation

in Canada related to Teva Pharmaceuticals’ filing of an abbreviated new drug submission (ANDS) in Canada
seeking to manufacture and sell a generic form of NARCAN® (naloxone HCI) Nasal Spray ahead of the expiry
of the Canadian patent covering NARCAN. In January 2022, Emergent and Teva settled the matter and mutually
agreed to discontinue the litigation.

ANDA Litigation - Teva 2mg

Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt Pharma subsidiaries EBPA and EIRE, and Opiant received a notice letter

from Teva that Teva had filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking regulatory approval to market a generic version
of NARCAN® (naloxone HCI) Nasal Spray 2 mg/spray before the expiration of certain Orange Book Listed
Patents for the 2 mg/ spray dose of NARCAN®. Teva’s notice letter alleged that claims of certain Orange Book
Listed Patents for the 2 mg/spray dose of NARCAN® were invalid and/or would not be infringed by the activities
described in Teva’s ANDA. Emergent and Opiant filed complaints against Teva in the U.S. District Court for the
District of New Jersey alleging infringement of certain Orange Book Listed Patents for the 2 mg/spray dose of
NARCAN. This case is currently stayed pending final outcome of the appeal of the NARCAN 4 mg/spray case.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our

chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of December 31, 2021. The term
“disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act, means controls and other procedures of a
company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company
in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the company’s
management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving their objectives and management
necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures. Based on the evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2021, our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that, as of such
date, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing

and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of

its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements.

Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our
management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on
this assessment, our management concluded that, as
of December 31, 2021, our internal control over
financial reporting was effective based on those
criteria.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered

public accounting firm that has audited our
consolidated financial statements included herein,
has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021, a copy of which is included in
this annual report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial

Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021,
we identified and disclosed a material weakness in
our controls over the accounting assessment of
specific attributes within complex revenue
arrangements with our customers (Revenue
Accounting Issue). To remediate the material
weakness, we designed and implemented controls
and enhanced and revised the design of existing
controls and procedures to properly assess Revenue
Accounting Issues.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, we

successfully completed the testing necessary to conclude
that the material weakness has been remediated.

Except as noted above, there has been no
change in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Emergent BioSolutions Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of

December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In
our opinion, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United

States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the
Index at Item 15 and our report dated February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the
accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we

plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk

that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
