The Group was in advanced discussions with the Department of Justice (DOJ) about a possible resolution to
its investigation until recently.
• In December 2018, the company first 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 during a meeting in January. These programs are material to the Group’s revenue.
• The Group continued in dialogue with DOJ and HHS/OIG and, at the time of the FY 2018 results, believed
that a resolution was still possible.
• In early April, 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.
