d4ve Indivior were previously in advanced discussions with the (DOJ) as far back as 2018 about a possible resolution.
But they learned from U.S. Health and Human Services/Office of Inspector General (HHS/OIG) that the proposed resolution could likely result, in HHS/OIG’s view, in exclusion. This represented a change in HHS/OIG’s interpretation of its exclusion authority. This change, and HHS/OIG’s view that the proposed plea by Indivior could result in exclusion from US federal healthcare programs, was confirmed by HHS/OIG . These programs are material to the Group’s revenue.
• The Group continued in dialogue with DOJ and HHS/OIG and, believed that a resolution was still possible.
It became clear that an alternative resolution with DOJ and HHS/OIG would be necessary. DOJ then did not give the Group sufficient time to negotiate any alternative resolution that would work under the new HHS/OIG interpretation.
So here we are in 2020 and we still don't know what is going to happen.
