<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have been blocked from access to the market by practices engaged in by Becton, Dickinson and Company (&#147;BD&#148;) which dominates our market.&#160; We initiated an antitrust and false advertising lawsuit in 2007 against BD.&#160; Although a district court judgment awarded us $340 million in 2015 in antitrust damages from BD and the Fifth Circuit affirmed a finding of false advertising liability (but overturned the antitrust damages) in 2016, we were ultimately awarded a take nothing judgment in August&nbsp;2017 and the case was dismissed.&#160; We have filed for appeal.&nbsp; Our stock price materially declined following the entry of the Fifth Circuit&#146;s opinion in early December&nbsp;2016 and the District Court&#146;s decision in late August&nbsp;2017.&#160; For instance, the stock price closed at $2.45 per share on December&nbsp;1, 2016 and fell to $1.09 per share a week later, following the announcement of the Fifth Circuit&#146;s opinion.&#160; A week after the August&nbsp;17, 2017 entry of the District Court&#146;s opinion, the stock price fell to $0.57 per share.&#160; The closing stock price on April&nbsp;9, 2018, was $0.90 per share.</font></p>
