Settlement Reached with Connecticut

On September 20, 2024, the Office of the Attorney General of Connecticut issued a press release announcing that a settlement (the "Settlement") in the amount of approximately $1.73 million was entered into with Enzo Biochem, Inc. and its subsidiary, Enzo Clinical Labs, Inc., (together, the "Company"), the assets of which were sold resulting in the cessation of our clinical services operations. The Settlement resolved allegations that Enzo Clinical Labs, Inc. overbilled the Connecticut Medicaid program for testing services in violation of the Connecticut False Claims Act.

The Company previously disclosed in its public filings that, in April 2024, the Company reached a verbal settlement with a government payer and included a provision in the Company's financial statements based on a reasonable estimate of loss in connection therewith. The Settlement is in the amount of the verbal settlement previously referred to in the Company's public filings and is equal to the amount already accrued in the Company's financial statements as of April 30, 2024.
