 Medicaid, and commercial payers is critical to new product acceptance. Coverage decisions may depend upon clinical and economic standards that disfavor new drug products when more established or lower-cost therapeutic alternatives are already available or subsequently become available. Even if TELI obtains coverage for products TELI may market, the resulting reimbursement payment rates may require co-payments that patients find unacceptably high. Patients may not use TELI’s products if coverage is not provided, or reimbursement is inadequate to cover a significant portion of their cost.

In addition, the market for TELI’s products will depend significantly on access to third-party payers’ drug formularies or lists of medications for which third-party payers provide coverage and reimbursement. The industry competition to be included in such formularies often leads to downward pricing pressures on pharmaceutical companies. Also, third-party payers may refuse to include a particular branded drug in their formularies or otherwise restrict patient access to a branded drug when a less costly generic equivalent or other alternative is available, even if not approved for the indications for which TELI’s products are approved.

Third-party payers or governmental or commercial entities are developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs. The current environment is putting pressure on companies to price products below what they may feel is appropriate. Selling TELI’s products at less than an optimized price could impact its revenues and overall success as a company. It will be difficult to determine the optimized price for TELI’s products. In addition, in the U.S., no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement for drug products exists among third-party payers. Therefore, coverage and reimbursement for its products may differ significantly from payer to payer. As a result, the coverage determination process is often a time-consuming and costly process that will require TELI to provide scientific and clinical support for the use of its products to each payer separately, with no assurance that coverage will be obtained. If TELI is unable to obtain coverage of, and adequate payment levels for, products we may market to third-party payers, physicians may limit how much or under what circumstances they will prescribe or administer them, and patients may decline to purchase them. This in turn could affect TELI’s ability to successfully commercialize products we may market, and thereby adversely impact TELI’s profitability, results of operations, financial condition, and future success.

In addition, where TELI has chosen to collaborate with a third party on product candidate development and commercialization, TELI’s
