Notes to Condensed Combined Financial Statements

Diabetes Care Business

Millions of dollars, or as otherwise specified

Note 1—Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

On May 6, 2021, Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD” or “Parent”) announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin off its diabetes care business, comprising syringes, pen needles and other products related to the injection or infusion of insulin and other drugs used in the treatment of diabetes (collectively, the “Company” or “Diabetes Care Business”). Under the plan, BD would transfer certain assets and liabilities associated with the Diabetes Care Business to Embecta Corp. (“Embecta”), a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of BD incorporated on July 8, 2021, and execute a

spin-off

of Embecta by way of a

pro-rata

distribution of common stock of Embecta to BD’s shareholders at the close of business on the record date of the

spin-off.

During the first quarter of 2022, in contemplation of the

spin-off,

certain assets, liabilities, and operations attributable to the Diabetes Care Business were contributed to Embecta, which has been reflected in these unaudited condensed combined financial statements. The remaining assets, liabilities, operations, or commitments and contingencies associated with the Diabetes Care Business will be contributed prior to the

spin-off

date, at which

such

business is fully transferred to Embecta. These condensed combined financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company.

In connection with the

spin-off,

BD and Embecta will enter into various agreements to effect the

spin-off

and provide a framework for the relationship between BD and Embecta after the

spin-off,

The completion of the

spin-off

is subject to certain conditions, including effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), such effectiveness having occurred on February 10, 2022, and final approval by BD’s Board of Directors (refer to Note 12). There are no assurances as to when the planned

spin-off

will be completed, if at all.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed combined financial statements have been derived from BD’s historical accounting records and were prepared on a standalone basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the Company have been reflected in these condensed combined financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of BD, using the historical accounting policies applied by BD. Historically, separate financial statements have not been prepared for the Company and it has not operated as a standalone business from BD. The historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company presented in these condensed combined financial statements may not be indicative of what they would have been had the Company actually been an independent standalone public company, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

The condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form

10-Q

and, in the opinion of the management of BD, include all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accounting policies and basis of preparation adopted in the preparation of these condensed combined financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s combined financial statements issued for the year ended September 30, 2021. However, the financial statements do not include all information and accompanying notes required for a presentation in accordance with GAAP. These condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the Diabetes Care Business have been eliminated.

-5-

Table of Contents

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was calculated by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate for the full year to ordinary income adjusted by the tax impact of discrete items.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates or assumptions affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, including determining the allocation of shared costs and expenses from BD, depreciable and amortizable lives, sales returns and allowances, rebate accruals, inventory reserves and taxes on income as reflected in the condensed combined financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 2 — Parent’s Equity

Changes in certain components of Parent’s Equity were as follows:


	Net Parent Investment			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss			Total Parent’s Equity

	In millions
Balance, October 1, 2020	$	833.8		$	(261.6	)	$	572.2

Balance, December 31, 2021	$	829.8		$	(279.3	)	$	550.5

Note 3 — Related Party Transactions and Parent Company Investment

Corporate and Medical Segment Allocations

The Company’s condensed combined financial statements include general corporate expenses of BD and shared segment expenses which were not historically allocated to the Company for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within Parent and not recorded at the business unit level, such as expenses related to finance, human resources, information technology, facilities, and legal, among others (collectively, “General Corporate Expenses”). For purposes of these condensed combined financial statements, the General Corporate Expenses have been allocated to the Company. The General Corporate Expenses are included in the condensed combined statements of income in

Cost of products sold

Selling and administrative expense

Research and development expense

, and

Other income, net

and, accordingly, as a component of

Net parent investment

on the condensed combined balance sheets. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on a pro rata basis of

-6-

Table of Contents

global and regional revenues, headcount, research and development spend and other drivers. Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating General Corporate Expenses from BD, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the condensed combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect the Company’s condensed combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a standalone public company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a standalone public company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure.

The allocations of General Corporate Expenses are reflected in the condensed combined statements of income as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,
	2021			2020

	In millions
Cost of products sold	$	1.6		$	4.7
Selling and administrative expense		24.4			24.4
Research and development expense		1.7			1.2
Other (income) expense, net		(1.0	)		(1.6	)

Total General Corporate Expenses	$	26.7		$	28.7

Purchases from Parent

In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases from BD certain materials for use in production of certain medical products, the terms of which are not at arm’s length. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, these related party purchases were $14.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Amounts payable to BD for such purchases as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 were immaterial.

Parent Company Investment

All significant intercompany transactions between the Company and BD have been included in the condensed combined financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the condensed combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the condensed combined balance sheets as

Net parent investment

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the components of the net transfers to Parent in

Net parent investment

for three months ended December 30, 2021 and 2020:


	Three months ended December 31,
	2021			2020

	In millions

Share-based compensation expense		(4.6	)		(3.8	)
Pension expense		(2.2	)		(2.4	)
Other transfers to (from) Parent, net		6.1			(11.5	)

Net transfers to Parent (Note 2)	$	133.8		$	91.8

(a)	The nature of activities includes financing activities for capital transfers, cash sweeps and other treasury services. As part of this activity, cash balances are swept to BD on a daily basis under the BD Treasury function and the Company receives capital from BD for its cash needs.

Note 4 —

Spin-Off

Costs

In connection with the

spin-off

further described in Note 1, the Company incurred separation and

stand-up

costs of approximately $8.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, reflected within

Other operating expenses

within the condensed combined statement of income. The costs incurred primarily consist of costs associated with legal, supply chain, employee retention and certain other costs to establish certain stand-alone functions to transition to being a stand-alone entity. There were no

spin-off

costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The total amount of spin-off costs accrued as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 was approximately $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Note 5 — Contingencies

The Company regularly monitors and evaluates the status of product liability and other legal matters, and may, from

time-to-time,

engage in settlement and mediation discussions taking into consideration developments in the matters and the risks and uncertainties surrounding litigation. These discussions could result in settlements of one or more of these claims at any time. The Company has not identified material legal matters where it believes an unfavorable, material outcome is probable and estimable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome resulting from legal matters or other contingencies could have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment, due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations in a given period. The Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings at December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020, nor is it a party to any material legal proceedings as of the date of issuance of these condensed combined financial statements.

-8-

Table of Contents

Note 6 — Revenues

The Company’s policies for recognizing sales have not changed from those described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10. The Company sells syringes, pen needles and other products used in the treatment of diabetes which are sold to wholesalers and distributors, which in turn sell these products to customers through retail and acute care hospitals, clinics and other institutional channels.

End-users

of the Company’s products include healthcare institutions, physicians, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry, and the general public.

Measurement of Revenues

Payment terms extended to the Company’s customers are based upon commercially reasonable terms for the markets in which the Company’s products are sold. Because the Company generally expects to receive payment within one year or less from when control of a product is transferred to the customer, the Company does not generally adjust its revenues for the effects of a financing component. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of its trade receivables. Such estimated credit losses are determined based on historical loss experiences, customer specific credit risk, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, such as country or regional risks that are not captured in the historical loss information. Amounts are written off against the allowances for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that a customer account is uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables is not material to the Company’s condensed combined financial results.

The Company’s gross revenues are subject to a variety of deductions which are recorded in the same period that the underlying revenues are recognized. Such variable consideration includes rebates, sales discounts, and sales returns. Because these deductions represent estimates of the related obligations, judgment is required when determining the impact of these revenue deductions on gross revenues for a reporting period. Rebates provided by the Company are based upon prices determined under the Company’s agreements primarily with its

end-user

customers. Additional factors considered in the estimate of the Company’s rebate liability include the quantification of inventory that is either in stock at or in transit to the Company’s distributors, as well as the estimated lag time between the sale of product and the payment of corresponding rebates. The Company’s rebate liability at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 was $76.9 million and $71.7 million, respectively. Rebates recorded as a reduction of gross revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $76.4 million and $72.1 million, respectively. Sales discounts and sales returns were not material.

Disaggregation of Revenues

Disaggregation of revenue by geographic region is provided within Note 7.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company does not have contract liabilities. Contract assets consist of the Company’s right to consideration that is conditional upon its future performance pursuant to private label agreements and are presented within

Prepaid expenses and other

on the condensed combined balance sheets.

The Company’s contract asset balance was $1.4 million as of both December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

Note 7 — Segment and Geographical Data

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise in which discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding assessing business performance and allocating resources and capital. Management has concluded that the Company operates in one segment based upon the information used by the CODM in evaluating the performance of the Company’s business and allocating resources and capital.

-9-

Table of Contents

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company has distribution agreements with regional or national distributors (including wholesalers and medical suppliers) to ensure broad availability of its products as well as a direct sales force in certain countries and regions around the world. In the United States and Canada, the Company utilizes its field-based sales representatives and internal sales teams. In certain markets within Europe, the Company has dedicated sales representatives and in certain regions of the Middle East and Africa, the Company has distribution agreements. In Greater Asia, the Company has distribution agreements and in China, the Company relies on its own commercial team to support sales execution. In Latin America, the Company maintains distribution agreements and direct sales representatives.

The Company disaggregates its revenue by geography as management believes this category best depicts how the nature, amount and timing of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,
	2021		2020

	In millions
United States	$	150.9	$	149.5
International (a)		138.4		135.8

Total	$	289.3	$	285.3

(a)	During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no individual country outside of the United States generated revenue that represented more than 10.0% of total revenues.

Note 8 — Share-Based Compensation

The following disclosure represents share-based compensation attributable to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to Company employees under BD share-based payment plans, and is representative of only those employees who are dedicated to the Company unless otherwise noted. Stock compensation allocated to the Company for BD Corporate and Medical Segment employees who are not dedicated to the Company are included as a component of corporate allocations. The allocation of stock compensation for BD Corporate and Medical Segment employees was $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The fair value of share-based payments is recognized as compensation expense. BD estimates forfeitures based on experience at the time of grant and adjusts expense to reflect actual forfeitures.

The amounts and location of compensation cost relating to both the Company’s employees and an allocation for BD Corporate employees included in the condensed combined statements of income is as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,
	2021		2020

	In millions
Cost of products sold	$	1.0	$	0.9
Selling and administrative expense		2.9		2.2

Note 10 — Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Foreign Currency and Other Risks

The Company has foreign currency exposures throughout the various countries in which it operates. Transactional currency exposures that arise from entering into transactions, generally on an intercompany basis, in

non-hyperinflationary

countries that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are mitigated by BD primarily through the use of forward contracts. In order to mitigate foreign currency exposure relating to its investments in certain foreign subsidiaries, BD hedges the currency risk associated with those investments with instruments, such as foreign currency-denominated debt, cross-currency swaps and currency exchange contracts, which are designated as net investment hedges. The Company does not enter into any derivative transactions, contracts, options, or swaps. Accordingly, derivative assets and liabilities held by BD at the corporate level were not attributable to the Company for any of the periods presented.

Net gains or losses relating to the net investment hedges, which are attributable to changes in foreign currencies to U.S. dollar spot exchange rates, are recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments in

Other comprehensive loss

. Upon the termination of a net investment hedge, any net gain or loss included in

Accumulated other comprehensive loss

relative to the investment hedge remains until the foreign subsidiary investment is disposed of or is substantially liquidated.

Hedges of the transactional foreign exchange exposures resulting primarily from intercompany payables and receivables are undesignated hedges. As such, the gains or losses on these instruments are recognized immediately in income. These gains and losses are largely offset by gains and losses on the underlying hedged items, as well as the hedging costs associated with the derivative instruments. Due to the Company’s participation in BD’s hedging program, the Company records an allocated portion of the impact of these activities. The net amounts recognized in

Other income (expense), net

during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were immaterial to the Company’s condensed combined financial results.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Non-financial

assets, including property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there are indicators of impairment and these assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. These measurements of fair value are generally based upon Level 3 inputs, including values estimated using the income approach.

-11-

Table of Contents

In the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $10.0 million related to certain construction in progress assets that related to discontinued projects. The impairment charges were recorded to adjust the carrying amount of the assets to the assets’ fair values, which were estimated through a discounted cash flow model that utilized Level 3 inputs. The impairment charges are recognized within

Cost of products sold

in the condensed combined statement of income.

There were no impairment charges in the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Concentration of Credit Risk

On an ongoing basis, the Company’s operations form part of BD’s monitoring of concentrations of credit risk associated with financial institutions with which BD conducts business. Therefore, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by such financial institutions. However, this loss is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the obligations of the counterparty to the financial instrument contract exceed the obligations of BD. BD also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Substantially all of the Company’s trade receivables are due from public and private entities involved in the healthcare industry. The Company does not normally require collateral from its customers. Two of the Company’s customers represent at least 10.0% of the gross trade receivables balance individually and, in the aggregate, represent approximately 23.0% of the gross trade receivable balance as of December 31, 2021. Two of the Company’s customers represent at least 10.0% of total revenues individually and, in the aggregate, represent approximately 30.1% of total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 16, 2022, the date the condensed combined financial statements were available to be issued and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed combined financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the condensed combined financial statements, except as described below:

Spin-Off

Update

On February 1, 2022, BD’s Board of Directors approved the

spin-off

of the Diabetes Care Business. On February 10, 2022, the SEC declared effective Embecta’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended. The

spin-off

will occur by means of a

pro-rata

distribution of all of Embecta’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of one share of Embecta common stock for every five shares of BD common stock held as of the close of business on March 22, 2022, the record date for the

spin-off.

The distribution is expected to be completed on April 1, 2022. The distribution is expected to qualify as

tax-free

to BD and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

-12-

Table of Contents

Upon completion of the distribution, Embecta will be an independent, publicly traded company and BD will retain no ownership interest. “When-issued” trading of Embecta common stock will begin on or shortly before the record date of March 22, 2022, under the ticker symbol “EMBCV,” and will continue until the distribution date.

“Regular-way”

trading of Embecta common stock is expected to begin on the spin-off date of April 1, 2022, under the same ticker symbol of “EMBC.”

Financing Arrangements

In February 2022 and in connection with the

spin-off,

Embecta issued $500.0 million of senior secured 5.000% notes due February 15, 2030. Prior to the distribution date of April 1, 2022, Embecta expects to enter into a credit agreement which will provide for a $1,150.0 million senior secured seven-year term loan facility, as well as a $500.0 million senior secured five-year revolving credit facility, which is expected to be undrawn at the

spin-off

date. The interest rate on the $1,150.0 million term loan is 300 basis points over the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a 0.5% SOFR floor. Embecta is expected to use the aggregate proceeds received from the issuance of the senior secured notes and the term loan facility to make a distribution payment of approximately $1,440.0 million to BD in connection with the

spin-off

on the effectiveness date of April 1, 2022. Embecta plans to hold approximately $160.0 million in cash upon completion of the

spin-off.

In addition, Embecta will enter into a Trade Receivables Factoring Agreement with BD effective at the time of the

spin-off.

Embecta will owe BD a service fee calculated as 0.1% of annual revenues related to countries subject to the agreement, in exchange for the services provided by BD pursuant to the Trade Receivables Factoring Agreement.

Embecta and BD Agreements

In connection with the

spin-off,

BD and Embecta have entered and will enter into various agreements to effect the

spin-off

and provide a framework for the relationship between BD and Embecta after the

spin-off,

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Certain Factors Affecting Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed combined financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q.

This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and other factors described throughout this discussion and analysis, particularly in the section “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

References in this section to the “Diabetes Care Business” refer to the Diabetes Care Business as defined in the condensed combined financial statements included within this report. References in this section to “Embecta” refer to Embecta Corp. as defined in the condensed combined financial statements included within this report.

All amounts discussed are in millions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Company Overview

We are a leading global medical device company focused on providing solutions to improve the health and wellbeing of people living with diabetes. Over the

95-year

history of our business, we believe that our products have become one of the most widely recognized and respected brands in diabetes management in the world. We estimate that our products are used by nearly 30 million people in over 100 countries for insulin administration and to aid with the daily management of diabetes. Our business traces its origins to 1924, when Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD” or “Parent”) developed the first dedicated insulin syringe. Since then, we have built a world-class organization with a unique manufacturing supply chain and commercial footprint, delivering over 7.6 billion units of diabetes injection devices globally in 2021. We generated revenues of $289.3 million and $285.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We have a broad portfolio of marketed products, including a variety of pen needles, syringes and safety devices, which are complemented by our proprietary digital applications designed to assist people with managing their diabetes. Our pen needles are sterile,

single-use,

medical devices, designed to be used in conjunction with insulin pens and are used to inject insulin or other diabetes medications. We also sell safety pen needles, which include resin injection-molded shields on both ends of the cannula that automatically deploy to help prevent needlestick exposure and injury during injection and disposal. Our traditional and safety pen needles are compatible and frequently used with widely available pen injectors in the market today. In addition to pen needles, we sell sterile,

single-use

insulin syringes, which are used to inject insulin drawn from insulin vials. We also sell safety insulin syringes, which incorporate a manually activated sliding sleeve to help prevent needlestick exposure and injury during injection and disposal.

We primarily sell our products to wholesalers and distributors, which in turn sell such products to customers in primarily retail and institutional channels.

Separation from BD

In May 2021, BD announced its plan to separate its diabetes care business into an independent public company. The separation will occur through a distribution of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Embecta Corp., which will hold BD’s Diabetes Care Business, to BD shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 22, 2022, the record date for the

spin-off

(the

“Spin-Off

Distribution”).

On February 1, 2022, BD’s Board of Directors approved the

Spin-Off

Distribution. On February 10, 2022, the SEC declared effective Embecta’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended. The

Spin-Off

Distribution is expected to be completed at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 1, 2022. “When-issued” trading of Embecta common stock will begin on or shortly before the record date of March 22, 2022, under the ticker symbol “EMBC WI”, and will continue until April 1, 2022.

“Regular-way”

trading of Embecta common stock is expected to begin on the

spin-off

date of April 1, 2022, under the same ticker symbol of “EMBC.”

Basis of Presentation of Our Financial Information

The accompanying historical unaudited condensed combined financial statements included in this report were derived from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records of BD. These condensed combined financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of BD’s Diabetes Care Business as they were historically managed in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Therefore, the historical combined financial information may not be indicative of our future performance and does not necessarily reflect what our combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the Diabetes Care Business operated as a separate, publicly traded company during the periods presented, particularly because of changes that we expect to experience in the future as a result of our separation from BD, including changes in the financing, cash management, operations, cost structure and personnel needs of our business. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

The condensed combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the BD corporate level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to the Diabetes Care Business. During the first quarter of 2022, in contemplation of the

spin-off,

certain assets, liabilities, and operations attributable to the Diabetes Care Business were contributed to Embecta. The remaining assets, liabilities, operations or commitments and contingencies in respect of the Diabetes Care Business will be contributed prior to the

spin-off

date, at which such business is fully transferred to Embecta. BD uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by BD at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Diabetes Care Business and therefore were not allocated for any of the periods presented. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the Diabetes Care Business would have financed its operations had it been a standalone company separate from BD during the periods presented. Cash pooling, related interest and intercompany arrangements are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the combined balance sheets. These amounts have instead been reported as

Net parent investment

as a component of Parent’s Equity.

Additionally, BD provides certain services, such as legal, accounting, information technology, human resources and other infrastructure support to the Diabetes Care Business. The cost of these services has been allocated to the Diabetes Care Business on the basis of the proportion of net sales, headcount, and other drivers. The Diabetes Care Business and BD consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the benefits received by the Diabetes Care Business. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Diabetes Care Business had been a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, such as information technology and infrastructure.

Subsequent to the completion of the separation, we expect to incur expenditures consisting of employee-related costs, costs to start up certain standalone functions and information technology systems and other

one-time

transaction related costs. Recurring standalone costs include establishing the internal audit, treasury, investor relations, tax and corporate secretary functions as well as the annual expenses associated with running an independent publicly traded company, including listing fees, compensation of

non-employee

directors, related board of director fees and other fees and expenses related to insurance, legal and external audit. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 we incurred separation and

stand-up

costs of approximately $8.4 million, reflected within

Other operating expenses

within the condensed combined statement of income, and as further discussed below. There were no

spin-off

costs incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.

Relationship with BD

We have or will enter into several agreements with BD to effect the

spin-off

and provide a framework for the relationship between BD and Embecta after the

spin-off,

including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement (TSA), manufacturing and supply agreements (MSAs), reverse manufacturing and supply agreements (RMSAs), an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, a lease agreement, and certain other commercial agreements. Certain functions that BD provided to the Diabetes Care Business prior to the distribution will either continue to be provided to Embecta by BD under the TSA or will be performed using Embecta’s own resources or third-party service providers. Additionally, under the MSAs, BD will manufacture certain products for and supply raw materials to Embecta and its subsidiaries and Embecta will manufacture certain products for BD and its subsidiaries. Lastly, BD and Embecta will enter into a Trade Receivables Factoring Agreement, in which Embecta owes BD a service fee calculated as 0.1% of annual revenues related to countries subject to the agreement, in exchange for the services provided by BD pursuant to the agreement.

-15-

Table of Contents

Due to these aforementioned contracts, as well as the anticipation of the

spin-off,

we expect potential changes in costs and cash flows in the quarters immediately subsequent to the

spin-off.

Specifically, we expect the TSA to result in higher expenses to operate as a standalone entity as compared to the costs we currently incur in carrying out these functions as a component of BD. Following the

spin-off,

we expect to incur certain

one-time

costs related to becoming a stand-alone entity; however, we also anticipate a decrease in certain separation costs related to the formation of new legal entities as well as expenses to complete the transfer of assets and liabilities from BD to Embecta that we are currently incurring once the

spin-off

is complete. Refer to the Other Operating Expenses fluctuation in the “Results of Operations” section for further details on these expenses. Furthermore, we expect the Trade Receivables Factoring Agreement to have an impact on the timing of our cash flows related to our outstanding trade receivables. In addition to the above, we also are planning a build up of inventory in current and future periods in preparation for the anticipated

spin-off.

We anticipate this trend to continue as we operate as a stand-alone entity.

COVID-19

Pandemic Impacts and Response

COVID-19

was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and governments around the world have been implementing various measures to slow and control the spread of

COVID-19.

These government measures have led to a shift in healthcare priorities and disruptions of economic activities worldwide, which unfavorably affected the demand for our products during fiscal year 2020. We have seen substantial recovery in the demand for our products in the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as further discussed below, however, our future operating performance may be subject to further volatility due to the significant uncertainty with respect to the duration and overall impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic. The impacts of the

COVID-19

pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on certain factors including:

•

the extent to which resurgences in

COVID-19

infections or new strains of the virus, including the Delta and Omicron variants, result in the imposition of new governmental lockdowns, quarantine requirements or other restrictions that may disrupt our operations;

•

the continued momentum of the global economy’s recovery from the pandemic and the degree of pressure that a weakened macroeconomic environment would put on the global demand for our products; and

•

the effectiveness of recently developed vaccines and vaccination efforts.

Revenues

Our revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 1.4%, to $289.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to revenues of $285.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. Changes in our revenue are driven by the volume of goods that we sell, the prices we negotiate with customers and changes in foreign exchange rates. Volume and price favorably impacted our revenues by approximately $4.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior period. The increase in volume was primarily driven by new customers in the U.S. and in emerging markets and the increase in price was driven by standard increases in product prices within certain international regions. This increase was partially offset by unfavorable effects from foreign currency translation of $1.0 million.

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:


	Three months ended December 31
Dollars in millions					Increase/(decrease)
	2021		2020		$		%			Constant Currency %
United States	$	150.9	$	149.5	$	1.4		0.9	%		0.9	%
International		138.4		135.8		2.6		1.9	%		2.6	%

Total	$	289.3	$	285.3	$	4.0		1.4	%		1.7	%

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold decreased by $8.6 million, or 9.1%, to $85.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $94.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by $10.0 million of impairment charges associated with the

write-off

of certain construction in progress assets that were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Additional associated disclosures relating to the impairment charges are provided in Note 10 to our combined financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Table of Contents

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $9.0 million, or 16.9%, to $62.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $53.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in digital media spend and an increase in compensation and benefit costs due to increased headcount in anticipation of the

spin-off.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $2.7 million, or 19.3%, to $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by increased investment in the development of new products, specifically our insulin patch pump and redesigned pen needles.

Other operating expenses

We incurred other operating expenses of $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, driven by costs related to the anticipated

spin-off.

The costs incurred primarily relate to accounting, auditing, and legal services, including costs to establish certain stand-alone corporate functions and other transaction costs as we transition to being a stand-alone publicly traded company. As mentioned within the “Relationship with BD” section, we anticipate certain separation costs to decline following the

spin-off.

However, we do anticipate an increase in other costs related to the

spin-off,

specifically

one-time

costs related to becoming a stand-alone entity.

Income tax provision

Income tax expense decreased by $2.0 million, or 10.1%, to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the geographical mix of income attributable to foreign countries that have income tax rates that vary from the U.S. tax rate and costs related to the anticipated

spin-off

incurred in the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP

financial measures

In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain

non-GAAP

financial measures including (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), (ii) adjusted EBITDA, as further defined below, and (iii) Constant Currency revenue growth. These

non-GAAP

financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these

non-GAAP

measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These

non-GAAP

financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We believe EBITDA is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the effect

non-cash

charges such as amortization related to acquired intangible assets and depreciation of capital equipment have on net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDA as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and as a complement to operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are either

non-cash

or irregular in nature, may not be indicative of our past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: (i) share-based compensation, (ii) impairment losses incurred, (iii) separation costs associated with the

spin-off,

and (iv) other significant items management deems irregular or

non-operating

in nature. We use adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of such adjustments is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of

on-going

core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.

Each reporting period, we face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our worldwide operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that fluctuate from the beginning of such period. A stronger U.S. dollar, compared to the prior-year period, resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact to our revenues as compared to the prior-year quarter. We evaluate our results of operations on both a reported and a Constant Currency basis, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by comparing results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding

period-to-period

comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a Constant Currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. We calculate Constant Currency percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a Constant Currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

For the three months ended December 31, 2021, the reconciliation of revenue growth to Constant Currency revenue growth was as follows:


	Three months ended December 31,
Millions of dollars	2021		2020		Total Change			Estimated FX Impact			Constant Currency Change
Total Revenues	$	289.3	$	285.3		1.4	%		(0.3	)%		1.7	%

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historical Liquidity

Historically, we have generated positive cash flows from operations.

As part of BD, the Diabetes Care Business has been dependent upon BD for all of its working capital and financing requirements. BD uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The majority of the cash of the Diabetes Care Business is transferred to BD daily and BD funds the operating and investing activities of such business as needed. This arrangement is not reflective of the manner in which the Diabetes Care Business would have been able to finance its operations had the Diabetes Care Business been a standalone business separate from BD during the periods presented. Cash transfers to and from BD’s cash management accounts are reflected within

Net parent investment

as a component of Parent’s Equity.

-19-

Table of Contents

The cash and cash equivalents held by BD at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Diabetes Care Business and therefore were not allocated for any of the periods presented. Third-party debt and the related interest expense of BD have not been allocated to the Diabetes Care Business for any of the periods presented because BD’s borrowings were not directly attributable to this business.

Future Liquidity

On a recurring basis, our primary future cash needs will be directed toward operating and investing activities, which include working capital needs, capital expenditures, research and development funding, and mergers and acquisitions. We also intend to allocate cash to the interest payments and repayment of borrowings. Our ability to fund these needs will depend, in part, on our ability to generate or raise cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Following the separation, our capital structure and sources of liquidity will change from its historical capital structure because we will no longer participate in BD’s centralized cash management program. Our ability to fund our operating needs will depend on our ability to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations and raise capital in the capital markets. Based upon our history of generating strong cash flows, we believe that we will be able to meet our short-term liquidity needs. We believe that we will meet known and reasonably likely future cash requirements through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances and available borrowings through and under our expected financing arrangements, as further discussed below. If these sources of liquidity need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely need to be financed through the issuance of debt or equity securities.

Financing Facilities

In February 2022 and in connection with the

spin-off,

we issued $500.0 million of senior secured 5.000% notes due February 15, 2030. Prior to the distribution date of April 1, 2022, we expect to enter into a credit agreement which will provide for a $1,150.0 million senior secured seven-year term loan facility, as well as a $500.0 million senior secured five-year revolving credit facility, which is expected to be undrawn at the

spin-off

date. The interest rate on the $1,150.0 million term loan is 300 basis points over the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a 0.5% SOFR floor. We expect to use the aggregate proceeds received from the issuance of the senior secured notes and the term loan facility to make a distribution payment of approximately $1,440.0 million to BD in connection with the

spin-off

on the effective date of April 1, 2022. We plan to hold approximately $160.0 million in cash upon completion of the

spin-off.

In addition, Embecta will enter into a Trade Receivables Factoring Agreement with BD effective at the time of the

spin-off.

Access to Capital and Credit Ratings

In January 2022, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) assigned Embecta a rating of ‘B+’ as the agency’s first-time outlook for Embecta. In the same month, Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) also assigned Embecta a rating of Ba3.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes our condensed combined statements of cash flows:


	Three Months Ended December 31,

Investing activities	$	(4.3	)	$	(11.9	)
Financing activities	$	(134.5	)	$	(109.5	)

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of fiscal year 2022 was attributable to net income of $98.8 million and net adjustments of $40.0 million, including $15.2 million of

non-cash

adjustments related to depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and pension expense, and a $24.8 million net source of cash relating to changes in working capital. The source of cash relating to working capital was mainly driven by decreases in trade receivables of $30.7 million, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $4.3 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.5 million. The decrease in trade receivables can be attributed to the timing of payments made in the normal course of business and a decrease in certain rebate and cash discount reserves. The increase in inventories is primarily driven by a concerted effort in the first three months of fiscal year 2022 to build inventory in preparation for the

spin-off.

The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses is mainly driven by the timing of payments made in the normal course of business for managed care rebates payments and a decrease in accrued professional services in connection with various market research and consulting projects.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of fiscal year 2021 was attributable to net income of $105.3 million and net adjustments of $16.1 million, including $25.5 million of

non-cash

adjustments related to depreciation and amortization, impairment of property, plant and equipment, share-based compensation, and pension expense, and a $9.4 million net use of cash relating to changes in working capital. The net use of cash relating to working capital was primarily driven by an increase in inventories of $10.4 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $3.4 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6.3 million. The increase in inventories can primarily be attributed to the timing of capitalized variances as well as higher inventory on hand as of period end compared to prior year. The increase in prepaid expenses is mainly driven by an increase in value-added taxes (“VAT”). The net change in accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily driven by the timing of payments made in the normal course of business for managed care rebates and other liabilities and a decrease in accrued VAT.

Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was primarily comprised of capital expenditures of $4.3 million and $11.4 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2022 and 2021, respectively, to support further expansion of our business and operations.

Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities, which entirely represented net transfers to BD (see Note 2 to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report), was $134.5 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2022 and $109.5 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2021.

statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Although each of BD and Embecta believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements it makes are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•

Competitive factors that could adversely affect Embecta’s operations, including new product introductions by Embecta’s competitors, the development of new technologies, lower cost producers that create pricing pressure and consolidation resulting in companies with greater scale and market presence than Embecta.

•

Any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of one of Embecta’s key products or the revenue delivered from sales to its key customers.

•

Any failure by BD to perform its obligations under the various separation agreements to be entered into in connection with the separation and distribution, including the cannula supply agreement.

•

Increases in operating costs, including fluctuations in the cost and availability of

oil-based

resins and other raw materials, as well as certain components, used in its products, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, and the potential adverse effects of any disruption in the availability of such items.

•

Changes in reimbursement practices of governments or private payers or other cost containment measures.

•

The adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, regional, national and foreign economic factors, including inflation, deflation, and fluctuations in interest rates, as well as wars and conflicts, including economic policies in response thereto, and their potential effect on its operating performance.

•

The impact of changes in U.S., federal laws and policy that could affect fiscal and tax policies, healthcare and international trade, including import and export regulation international trade agreements and sanctions. In particular, tariffs or other trade barriers imposed by the United States or other countries could adversely impact its supply chain costs or otherwise adversely impact its results of operations.

•

Any impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic on Embecta’s business, including disruptions in its operations and supply chains.

•

New or changing laws and regulations affecting Embecta’s domestic and foreign operations, or changes in enforcement practices, including laws relating to healthcare, environmental protection, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, taxation (including tax reforms that could adversely impact multinational corporations) and licensing and regulatory requirements for products.

•

The expected benefits and timing of the separation, and the risk that conditions to the separation will not be satisfied and/or that the separation will not be completed within the expected time frame, on the expected terms or at all.

•

A determination by the IRS that the distribution or certain related transactions are taxable.

•

The possibility that any consents or approvals required in connection with the separation will not be received or obtained within the expected time frame, on the expected terms or at all.

•

Expected financing transactions undertaken in connection with the separation and risks associated with additional indebtedness.

-22-

Table of Contents

•

The risk that dissynergy costs, costs of restructuring transactions and other costs incurred in connection with the separation will exceed its estimates.

•

The impact of the separation on its businesses and the risk that the separation may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, including the impact on its resources, systems, procedures and controls, diversion of management’s attention and the impact on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties.

There can be no assurance that the separation, distribution or any other transaction described above will in fact be consummated in the manner described or at all. The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and each of BD and Embecta assumes no obligation to update or revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form

except as required by applicable law.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in information reported since the filing the Form 10.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation was carried out by Embecta’s management, with the participation of Embecta’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Embecta’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule

13a-15(e)

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were, as of the end of the period covered by this report, effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to Embecta and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within these entities.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 identified in connection with the above-referenced evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Embecta’s internal control over financial reporting.

Section 1.2. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

Section 1.3. Special Meetings. Special meetings may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by request in writing of stockholders of record of a majority in amount of all outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 1.4. Notice of Meetings. A written notice of each meeting stating the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be given by, or at the direction of, the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, or the person or persons authorized to call the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting, as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, unless a greater period of time is required by law in a particular case.

Section 1.5. Quorum and Adjournment. Except as otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, or by these By-Laws, the presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the stock issued and outstanding, entitled to vote thereat, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders. If such majority shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders present, although less than a quorum, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place and time.

Section 1.6. Record Date. In order to determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice

is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is delivered to the Corporation; and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action when prior action of the Board of Directors is required shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such action.

Section 1.7. Action by Written Consent. Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken and bearing the date of the signature of each stockholder who signs it, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of the stockholders are recorded.

If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 1.9. Meeting by Remote Communication. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as may be authorized by Section 211 of the DGCL as in effect at the time of the meeting. The Board of Directors also may authorize, in its sole discretion and subject to such guidelines and procedures as it may adopt, stockholders and proxy-holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders, by means of remote communication, to participate in a meeting of stockholders and be deemed to be present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, subject to the terms of Section 211 of the DGCL.

Section 2.2. Number, Election, and Term of Office. The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than one member. The exact number of directors shall initially be three and may thereafter by fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation.

A resignation shall be effective when delivered, unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events.

Section 2.3. Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

Section 2.5. Quorum and Action. At all meetings of the Board of Directors and of each committee thereof, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors or of such committee shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors or such committee, unless by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or of these By-Laws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control.

The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting of such committee and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act as at the meeting in place of such absent or disqualified director.

Section 4.2. Stock Certificates. Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall initially be uncertificated and represented by book entry notations in the books and records of the Corporation. However, each stockholder shall, upon written request, be entitled to a certificate certifying the number of shares of stock of the Corporation owned by such stockholder. Certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in the form adopted by the Board of Directors, shall be signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Secretary or Treasurer or any Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer, and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation. All such certificates shall be numbered consecutively, and the name of the person owning the shares represented thereby, with the number of such shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Corporation.

Section 4.3. Transfer of Stock. Shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be transferred only on the books of the Corporation, upon surrender to the Corporation of any existing certificate for such shares duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer, together with such other documents (if any) as may be required to effect such transfer. Thereupon, the Corporation shall issue (if requested) a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate (if any), and record the transaction upon its books.

Section 4.4. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, or Mutilated Certificates. New stock certificates may be issued to replace certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, upon such terms and conditions, including proof of loss or destruction, and the giving of a satisfactory bond of indemnity, as the Board of Directors from time to time may determine.

Section 4.5. Regulations. The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations not inconsistent with these By-Laws as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 4.6. Holders of Record. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder and owner in fact thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or right, title, or interest in, such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the DGCL.

Section 4.7. Restriction on Transfer. A restriction on the hypothecation, transfer, or registration of transfer of shares of the corporation may be imposed either by these By-Laws or by an agreement among any number of stockholders or such holders and the corporation. No restriction so imposed shall be binding with respect to those securities issued prior to the adoption of the restriction unless the holders of such securities are parties to an agreement or voted in favor of the restriction.

ARTICLE V

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 5.1. Corporate Seal. The Corporation may adopt a seal in such form as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine.

Section 5.2. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be as designated by the Board of Directors from time to time.

Section 5.3. Execution of Instruments. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, all contracts, deeds, mortgages, bonds, certificates, checks, drafts, bills of exchange, notes, and other instruments or documents to be executed by or in the name of the Corporation shall be signed on the Corporation’s behalf by the President, any Vice President, or any other officer if the execution thereof is within the scope of the general duties and authority of such other officer, and such authority may be delegated by the authorized officers to other persons. Unless otherwise provided in such resolution, any resolution of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof authorizing the Corporation to enter into any such instruments or documents or authorizing their execution by or on behalf of the Corporation shall be deemed to authorize the execution thereof on its behalf by the President, any Vice President, or any other officer if the execution thereof is within the scope of the general duties and authority of such other officer.

Section 5.4. Financial Reports. Financial statements or reports shall not be required to be sent to the stockholders of the Corporation, but may be so sent in the discretion of the Board of Directors, in which event the scope of such statements or reports shall be within the discretion of the Board of Directors, and such statements or reports shall not be required to have been examined by or to be accompanied by an opinion of an accountant or firm of accountants.

Section 5.5. Effect of By-Laws. No provision in these By-Laws shall vest any property right in any stockholder.

Section 5.6. Securities Issued by Other Entities. Except as may otherwise be directed from time to time by the Board of Directors, each of the President, Treasurer and Secretary shall have the authority, on behalf of the Corporation, to exercise the rights and powers of the Corporation as holder or owner of shares, equity interests, notes, bonds, or other securities issued by any other entity and held or owned by the Corporation, including to execute and deliver consents, ballots, proxies, waivers, or other instruments with respect to the exercise of such rights or powers.

Section 5.7. Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Any indemnification under this Section 5.7 shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the corporate agent is proper in the circumstances, because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL. With respect to directors or officers of the Corporation, such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel designated by the Board of Directors, or (iii) by the stockholders. With respect to all other corporate agents and unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, such determination may be made by the Secretary of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the reasonable expenses incurred in defending or investigating any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, such payment shall only be made upon receipt of an undertaking (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 5.7.

The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 5.7 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. Any repeal or modification of this Section 5.7 shall not adversely affect any right to indemnification or payment of expenses existing hereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VI

AMENDMENTS

The authority to adopt, amend, or repeal By-Laws of the Corporation is expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors, which may take such action by the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting duly convened after notice of that purpose, subject always to the powers of the stockholders to adopt, amend, or repeal By-Laws.
