Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity risks are a growing threat to us and other businesses, including our CROs, CMOs, and other third-party providers, which are vulnerable to cyberattacks, malware, and other system failures that may result in unauthorized access, damage, and other harms to our business or reputation. Protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our business information, intellectual property, customer, patient and employee data, and technology systems is critical to our business and operations, ability to comply with regulatory requirements, and reputation. Accordingly, cybersecurity is an important and integrated part of the Company’s enterprise risk management function that identifies, monitors, and mitigates business, operational, and legal risks. Accordingly, we have established cybersecurity standards, policies, and operating procedures, including our Global IT Policy and Information Security Policy and our incident response plan, for the purpose of implementing information protection processes and technologies; carrying out cybersecurity risk detection, identification, assessment, response, and monitoring; assigning responsibility within our organization for risk detection and oversight; implementing cybersecurity training; governing internal communications regarding cybersecurity risks; and making required public and regulatory disclosures regarding cybersecurity threats and incidents. We oversee risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers by requiring our vendors to agree that they have and will maintain appropriate cybersecurity controls, such as through standard contractual provisions, and by coordinating with key vendors with respect to integration with our systems. Our cybersecurity risk management program is based on the NIST framework.Key components of our cybersecurity risk management program include the use of third-party service providers, as appropriate, to assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes. For example, we employed a third-party cyber risk consultant to assess our overall cybersecurity risk framework against NIST standards. We have also engaged third-party experts to perform penetration testing of our IT systems, and we have considered the results of such tests to enhance our cybersecurity systems and controls, as appropriate.

Our management, including leaders from our IT, information security, legal, and compliance teams, is responsible for implementing our cybersecurity standards, policies, and operating procedures, under the ultimate oversight of our Chief Operating Officer. We regularly discuss and assess cybersecurity risks as part of our Risk Coordination Council, which brings together senior leaders across the Company to address various risk issues. In addition, our Global Compliance Committee, which is comprised of leaders from senior management, legal, compliance, finance, HR, and internal audit, discusses significant risk issues affecting the Company, including with respect to cybersecurity issues, as
