On March 18, 2021, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and amended its Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, to reflect a corporate name change from Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. to Inotiv, Inc.

The information contained on our website is not a part of this Report and is not incorporated by reference herein. Temporarily Suspended or Limited Operations On November 16, 2022, the Company became aware that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (“USAO-SDFL”) had criminally charged employees of the principal supplier of NHPs to the Company, along with two Cambodian government officials, with conspiring to illegally import NHPs into the U.S. from December 2017 through January 2022 and in connection with seven specific imports between July 2018 and December 2021 (“November 16, 2022 event”). Also as previously disclosed, two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Orient BioResource Center and Envigo Global Services, Inc., companies acquired by the Company on January 27, 2022 and November 5, 2021, respectively, had received grand jury subpoenas from USAO-SDFL requiring the production of documents and information related to their importation of NHPs into the U.S. The Company has been fully cooperating, and will continue to cooperate, with USAO-SDFL. The Company has not been directed to refrain from selling the Cambodian NHPs in its possession in the U.S. However, due to the allegations contained in the indictment involving the Supplier and the Cambodian government officials, the Company believed that it was prudent, at the time and through the date of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, to refrain from selling or delivering any of its Cambodian NHPs held in the U.S. until the Company’s staff and external experts can evaluate what additionally could be done to satisfy itself that the NHPs in inventory from Cambodia can be reasonably determined to be purpose-bred. Historically, the Company has relied on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (“CITES”) documentation and related processes and procedures, including release of each import by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Company has continued to sell NHPs from other suppliers. The Company has shipments of its Cambodian NHP inventory scheduled, which will be resumed once existing inventory can be reasonably determined to be purpose-bred. Of the Company’s total revenue of $547,656 in fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, approximately $140,000 was from NHPs that it had imported from Cambodia. Refer to the Liquidity section below and Note 18 – Subsequent Events for further discussion of anticipated impacts. Liquidity As of September 30, 2022, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18,515. The November 16, 2022 event and subsequent decision to refrain from selling or delivering Cambodian NHPs held in the U.S., triggered a material adverse event clause in our Credit Agreement discussed in Note 7 to these consolidated financial statements resulting in, among other things a limitation of our ability to draw on our revolving credit facility. The loss of access to our revolving credit facility and reduced liquidity resulting from the decision to refrain from selling Cambodian NHPs held in the U.S. resulted in reduced forecasted liquidity. As a result of these events, the Company took steps to improve its liquidity, which included negotiating an amendment to its Credit Agreement to reinstate its ability to borrow under its revolving credit facility. Without the amendment, the Company was at risk of not having the revolving credit facility available. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company announced the completion of the closure of the Cumberland and Dublin, Virginia facilities and announced further intended site optimizations plans for 2023 and 2024, including two U.S. facilities, which have been approved, and two non-U.S. facilities, which are subject to approval. Further, the Company has communicated price increases that will begin in January 2023. The Company also took steps in reducing its 2023 budgeted capital expenditures and certain forecasted expenses, including a reduction of nonessential travel and employee-related expenses among other efficiency-based reductions. As a result, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund its operations, satisfy its obligations, including cash outflows for planned targeted capital expenditures, and comply with minimum liquidity and financial covenant requirements under its debt covenants related to borrowings pursuant to its Credit Agreement for at least the next twelve months. In order to achieve our forecasted operating cash flows, the Company believes it will need to begin shipping its existing Cambodian NHP inventory. See Note 7 – Debt and Note 18 – Subsequent Events for further information about the Company’s existing credit facilities and requirements under its debt covenants. The Company’s liquidity needs and compliance with covenants thereafter will depend, among other things, on the timing of NHP shipments and its ability to generate cash from operations.
