Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management identified the following change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) that occurred during the quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company substantially completed its transition of certain support services from Pfizer, as well as certain subsidiaries, to a new ERP system. The Company has modified and implemented new controls and procedures relating to its business and financial processes throughout the transition period. While the Company believes that this new system and the related changes to internal controls will ultimately strengthen its ICFR, there are inherent risks in implementing any new ERP system and the Company will continue to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of the related controls in subsequent periods.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting is on page 76, which is incorporated herein by reference. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP (PCAOB ID No. 34), an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page 80, which is incorporated herein by reference.
