 its personnel or third-party service providers. If UHG were to experience a significant period of disruption in information technology systems that involve interactions with customers or suppliers, it could result in the loss of sales and customers and significant incremental costs, which could adversely affect its business.

Furthermore, any security breach of information systems or data could result in the misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of proprietary, personal and confidential information, including information related to employees, counter-parties, and customers, which could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to its reputation and a loss of confidence in its security measures, which could harm its business. While UHG has not experienced cyber security incidents in the past, there can be no assurance that future cyber security incidents will not have a material impact on UHG’s business or operations.

UHG’s business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection.

As part of UHG’s normal business activities, UHG collects and stores certain information, including information specific to homebuyers, customers, employees, vendors and suppliers. UHG may share some of this information with third parties who assist UHG with certain aspects of its business.

Laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information pose increasingly complex compliance challenges and potentially elevate UHG’s costs. Any failure, or perceived failure, by UHG to comply with applicable data protection laws could result in proceedings or actions against UHG by governmental entities or others, subject UHG to significant fines, penalties, judgments and negative publicity, require UHG to change its business practices, increase the costs and complexity of compliance and adversely affect UHG’s business. As noted above, UHG is also subject to the possibility of cyber incidents or attacks, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws. Additionally, if UHG acquires a company that has violated or is not in compliance with applicable data protection laws, UHG may incur significant liabilities and penalties as a result.
