With secure technology-based customer solutions, we are positioned to continue to provide our core services without interruption. The threats to an organization's continuity of operations are significant during natural disasters and a pandemic outbreak, and as part of our existing Business Continuity Plan (BCP), we will deliver our essential functions and services without interruption.

Highlights of our COVID-19 Pandemic Response and Preparation

Emergent has established the following mitigation strategies to ensure essential operations can continue during the spread of COVID-19.

    --  Emergent senior management will continually monitor official third-party
        communications, regarding the rate and effects of infectious disease,
        specific to areas of essential worker concentration globally.
        Communications monitored will include those from the World Health
        Organization, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and applicable local
        and state agencies.
    --  Emergent, as a baseline for operations, enables all employees to work
        remotely and provides the equipment, connectivity and applicable
        applications, and resources to ensure long-term viability of Emergent's
        core business and offerings, regardless of restrictions on office
        accessibility.
    --  All Emergent staff have access to laptops and have been instructed to
        take their laptops home daily in case of an office shutdown. All
        employees have access to secure VPN and remote collaboration tools to
        ensure work will continue if a mandatory work from home policy is
        imposed.
    --  Communications from our Human Resources and Business Continuity Team
        ensures all staff is made aware of restrictions on face-face meetings,
        non-essential business travel, as well as restrictions on returning to
        work after having been out on sick leave.
    --  Emergent works closely with all subcontractors to provide a coordinated
        pandemic response.  Emergent management communicates daily with each
        provider to ensure awareness and response surrounding any changes in the
