TRACLEER LITIGATION

A class action lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The Plaintiff in the lawsuit is asserting class action claims and alleges that Defendants Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc., and Janssen Research & Development, LLC (collectively “Defendants”) harmed competition and violated certain federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants unlawfully delayed the availability of allegedly less-expensive generic versions of Tracleer and that Defendants’ alleged conduct caused the Class Members (defined below) to pay more than they otherwise would have for Tracleer and/or bosentan. Defendants deny any wrongdoing.

If you are a member of the Class, your rights may be affected unless you timely request to be excluded.

The Class consists of all entities that, for consumption by their members, employees, insureds, participants or beneficiaries, purchased, paid and/or provided reimbursement for some or all of the purchase price of Tracleer or bosentan, other than for resale, in Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin, at any time during the period from December 29, 2015, through and until September 6, 2024.

Excluded from the Class are: (i) Defendants and their subsidiaries and affiliates; and (ii) federal and state governmental entities.
