Regarding the recently announced settlement in the opioid-related litigation in Texas, Mr. Schultz stated, "I'm very pleased with the agreement we reached with the state of Texas, the second most populous state in the U.S. Not only does it mark a further step in resolving our legacy opioids litigations more broadly, but importantly also makes critical medicines part of the solution when addressing the opioids epidemic. While the agreement includes no admission of wrongdoing, it remains in our best interest to put these cases behind us and continue to focus on the patients we serve every day.”
