Item 5. Other Information

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act

In March 2021, the Russian Federal Security Service (the FSB) was designated as a blocked party under Executive Order 13382. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, one of our Russian affiliates responded to an official inquiry from FSB regarding the manufacture of a certain instrument registered as a medical device in Russia. This interaction did not result in any revenue or otherwise contribute to our net income for the quarter and all such dealings were legal and authorized by General License 1B issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. We expect our Russian affiliate to respond to similar regulatory inquiries in the future, as necessary and to the extent permitted by applicable U.S. sanctions laws and regulations.
