Q&A (selective summary):

Business development deal plans? Focussed and discipline in CNS, but open to consider other areas. Adjusted pro-forma EBITDA would be healthy, but we don't want to take on a lot of debt. Depends on quality of the assets and their cash flow.

Sublocade projections? First, number one prescribed long acting injectable. We give no peak sales guidance. We believe sales will continue to grow. Trend is strong. In q2 had record new patient starts.

Pro-forma shares, debt and cash? Total shares 215 million. EBITDA $388 million. Net debt $878 million.

Sales forces? We are experienced at integrating organizations. Will eliminate redundancies. We will have 5 growth products, deeper financial resources. We can acquire other products. We will be very competitive in the CNS space.

Appetite for earlier stage assets? Have been prioritizing commercial stage assets. Will invest in our current R&D pipeline. Looking to add to our pipeline with mid to late stage potential therapies.

Sublocade exclusivity runway? We believe it has a long and durable runway. It is a complicated product to manufacture. No Paragraph 4s. 12 patents, 2031 to 2038, applying for more for new label, taking it out to 2044 if granted.

Competitive threats? Sublocade, we don't see threats, we see opportunity. Small penetration so far. We do think there is room for innovation. Some conjunctive treatments are being developed. Early to tell on ADHD competition, though there is room for innovation. We are used to competition.

Sublocade market? 8 to 9 million people misuse opioids in the US. 4 to 5 million are diagnosed with OUD. 2 million are being treated with bupremorphines. The key to sublocade growth is education and awareness.

Sublocade sales force, DTC? This combination is the most compelling opportunity we saw. Both companies came in from a position of strength. Combined we will have 11 marketed products including 5 growth products. No one outside saw how we could accelerate sublocade sales.

CNS subcategories most interesting for BD? Build on 4 key commercial areas: ADHD, addiction, depression, Parkinsons. Beyond that we are agnostic within CNS, possibly women's health.
