For the FDA to approve an interchangeable biosimilar product, it must conclude that the product is biosimilar to the reference product, can be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient, and—for a product that is administered more than once to an individual—alternating or switching between the proposed interchangeable product and the reference product would not create an increased risk in terms of safety or diminished efficacy compared to using the reference product only.

A grant of an orphan designation is not a guarantee that a product will be approved. Orphan drug exclusivity (afforded to the first applicant to receive approval for an orphan designated drug for a particular rare disease or condition) generally prevents FDA approval of another sponsor’s application for the same drug for the same indication.

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

The approval of a supplemental BLA or certain subsequent BLAs does not give rise to a new date of first licensure, and, consequently, does not yield an additional period of reference product exclusivity. from the date of first licensure of a biological product approved under section 351(a), Moreover, reference product exclusivity does not affect the timing of FDA’s acceptance or approval of a competing sponsor’s section 351(a) BLA containing the sponsor’s own pre-clinical data and data from adequate and well‑controlled clinical trials to demonstrate the safety, purity, and potency of its product.

The price of our common stock has been and remains subject to extreme volatility.
Biggest changeThere can be no assurance that the SAFETY Act, Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (the "PREP Act"), or other liability protections will be sufficient to limit or avoid product liability, and defending such cases requires significant resources. Our ability to maintain sufficient cash flow from our operations to pay our substantial debt, both now and in the future. Restrictions on the operation of our business and limitations on cash available for investment in our business operations as a result of our current indebtedness. Our ability to comply with the covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes and any other debt agreements to which we may be a party. We may not be successful in identifying, structuring or acquiring businesses and products to drive our growth. Our failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses and/or assets into our operations and our ability to realize the benefits of such acquisitions.

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.
