Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Commercial Manufacturing, Collaboration, License, and Distribution Agreements The Company continues to seek to enhance its product line and develop a balanced portfolio of differentiated products through product acquisitions and in-licensing. Accordingly, the Company, in certain instances, may be contractually obligated to make potential future development, regulatory, and commercial milestone, royalty and/or profit sharing payments in conjunction with collaborative agreements or acquisitions that the Company has entered into with third parties. The Company has also licensed certain technologies or intellectual property from various third parties. The Company is generally required to make upfront payments as well as other payments upon successful completion of regulatory or sales milestones. The agreements generally permit the Company to terminate the agreement with no significant continuing obligation. The Company could be required to make significant payments pursuant to these arrangements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. Refer to Note 5. Alliance and Collaboration for additional information. Certain of these arrangements are with related parties. Refer to Note 24. Related Party Transactions for additional information. Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company's legal proceedings are complex, constantly evolving, and subject to uncertainty. As such, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact of its significant legal proceedings which are set forth below. Additionally, the Company manufactures and derives a portion of its revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products in the opioid class of drugs and may therefore face claims arising from the regulation and/or consumption of such products. While the Company believes it has meritorious claims and/or defenses to the matters described below (and intends to vigorously prosecute and defend them), the nature and cost of litigation is unpredictable, and an unfavorable outcome of such proceedings could include damages, fines, penalties and injunctive or administrative remedies. For any proceedings where losses are probable and reasonably capable of estimation, the Company accrues a potential loss. When the Company has a probable loss for which a reasonable estimate of the liability is a range of losses and no amount within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company records the loss at the low end of the range. While these accruals have been deemed reasonable by the Company’s management, the assessment process relies heavily on estimates and assumptions that may ultimately prove inaccurate or incomplete. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances or events may lead the Company to subsequently change its estimates and assumptions. Unless otherwise indicated below, the Company is unable at this time to estimate the possible loss or the range of loss, if any, associated with such legal proceedings and claims. Any such claims, proceedings, investigations or litigation, regardless of the merits, might result in substantial costs to defend or settle, borrowings under our debt agreements, restrictions on product use or sales, or otherwise harm our business. The ultimate resolution of any or all claims, legal proceedings or investigations are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, could differ materially from our estimates and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and/or cash flows in any given accounting period, or on the Company's overall financial condition. The Company currently intends to vigorously prosecute and/or defend these proceedings as appropriate. From time to time, however, the Company may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that it believes to be in its best interest . An insurance recovery, if any, is recorded in the period in which it is probable the recovery will be realized.

(2) Upon final approval by the court, the securities class action Fleming v. Impax was settled for $33.0 million during 2022 using a security deposit funded by insurance in 2021 (refer to Note 11. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets ). See below for additional information. (3) Upon final approval by the Court, the securities class action Cambridge Retirement System v. Amneal was settled during 2022 for $25.0 million with cash paid by the Company of $9.5 million and insurance recoveries of $15.5 million. See below for additional information. As of December 31, 2022, the remaining payments associated with the Opana ER® antitrust litigation settlement agreements are as follows: Amount Due January 2023 $ 83,944 January 2024 50,000 $ 133,944 3% interest is payable on the amounts due in January 2023 and January 2024. The Company includes the interest accrual on these amounts as a component of the current portion of liabilities for legal matters. Additional interest of 2.7% was imputed on the $50.0 million long-term liability due in January 2024, resulting in an initial discount of $2.2 million, which is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the liability using the effective interest method. Refer to the respective discussions below for additional information on the significant matters in the tables above. Medicaid Reimbursement and Price Reporting Matters The Company is required to provide pricing information to state agencies, including agencies that administer federal Medicaid programs. Certain state agencies have alleged that manufacturers have reported improper pricing information, which allegedly caused them to overpay reimbursement costs. Other agencies have alleged that manufacturers have failed to timely file required reports concerning pricing information. Liabilities are periodically established by the Company for any potential claims or settlements of overpayment. The Company intends to vigorously defend against any such claims. The ultimate settlement of any potential liability for such claims may be higher or lower than estimated. Patent Litigation There is substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical, biological, and biotechnology industries with respect to the manufacture, use, and sale of new products which are the subject of conflicting patent and intellectual property claims. One or more patents often cover the brand name products for which the Company is developing generic versions and the Company typically has patent rights covering the Company’s branded products. Under federal law, when a drug developer files an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for a generic drug seeking approval before expiration of a patent which has been listed with the FDA as covering the brand name product, the developer must certify its product will not infringe the listed patent(s) and/or the listed patent is invalid or unenforceable (commonly referred to as a “Paragraph IV” certification). Notices of such certification must be provided to the patent holder, who may file a suit for patent infringement within 45 days of the patent holder’s receipt of such notice. If the patent holder files suit within the 45-day period, the FDA can review and tentatively approve the ANDA, but generally is prevented from granting final marketing approval of the product until a final judgment in the action has been rendered in favor of the generic drug developer, or 30 months from the date the notice was received, whichever is sooner. The Company’s Generics segment is typically subject to patent infringement litigation brought by branded pharmaceutical manufacturers in connection with the Company’s Paragraph IV certifications seeking an order delaying the approval of the Company’s ANDA until expiration of the patent(s) at issue in the litigation. The uncertainties inherent in patent litigation make the outcome of such litigation difficult to predict. For the Company’s Generics segment, the potential consequences in the event of an unfavorable outcome in such litigation include delaying launch of its generic products until patent expiration. If the Company were to launch its generic product prior to successful resolution of a patent litigation, the Company could be liable for potential damages measured by the profits lost by the branded product manufacturer rather than the profits earned by the Company if it is found to infringe a valid, enforceable patent, or enhanced treble damages in cases of willful infringement. For the Company’s Specialty segment, an unfavorable outcome may significantly accelerate generic competition ahead of expiration of the patents covering the Company’s branded products. All such litigation typically involves significant expense. The Company is generally responsible for all of the patent litigation fees and costs associated with current and future products not covered by its alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company has agreed to share legal expenses with respect to third-party and Company products under the terms of certain of the alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company records the costs of patent litigation as expense in the period when incurred for products it has developed, as well as for products which are the subject of an alliance or collaboration agreement with a third-party. Patent Defense Matter Biogen International GmbH, et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al. (Dimethyl Fumarate) In June 2017, Biogen International GmbH (“Biogen”) filed suit against Amneal and various other generic manufacturers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“D. Del.”) alleging patent infringement based on the filing of ANDAs by Amneal and others for generic alternatives to Biogen’s Tecfidera® (dimethyl fumarate) capsules product (Biogen International GmbH, et al. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al., No. 1:17-cv-00823-MN). Biogen also filed suit in June 2017 against Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (“N.D. W. Va.”) relating to Mylan’s own ANDA for Tecfidera®. On June 18, 2020, the N.D. W. Va. court issued an order finding the sole Biogen patent at issue invalid. Biogen appealed the order (the “Mylan Appeal”) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”). On September 22, 2020, the D. Del. court entered judgment in favor of the defendants (including Amneal), adopting the finding of invalidity made by the N.D. W. Va. court. Biogen appealed the D. Del. Order (“the Amneal Consolidated Appeal”). Amneal, like Mylan and several other generic manufacturers, launched its generic dimethyl fumarate capsule products “at-risk,” pending the outcome of Biogen’s appeal of the N.D. W. Va. order. On November 30, 2021, the Federal Circuit affirmed the N.D. W. Va. court’s order that Biogen’s patent is invalid: on March 23, 2022, issued a mandate in the Mylan Appeal as to the invalidity of the patent; and on June 16, 2022, Biogen filed a cert petition with the Supreme Court of the United States (the “U.S. Supreme Court”) which was denied on October 3, 2022. On October 31, 2022, the Federal Circuit dismissed Biogen’s consolidated appeals. Other Litigation Related to the Company’s Business Opana ER® FTC Matters On February 25, 2014, Impax received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning its investigation into the drug Opana® ER and its generic equivalents. On March 30, 2016, the FTC filed a complaint against Impax, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Endo”), and others in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that Impax and Endo violated antitrust laws when they entered into a June 2010 settlement agreement that resolved patent litigation in connection with the submission of Impax’s ANDA for generic original Opana® ER. In October 2016, the Court granted Impax’s motion to sever, formally terminating the suit against Impax. In January 2017, the FTC filed a Part 3 Administrative Complaint against Impax with similar allegations regarding the 2010 settlement. Following trial, in May 2018, the Administrative Law Judge ruled in favor of Impax and dismissed the Complaint in its entirety. FTC Complaint Counsel appealed the decision to the full Commission, and in March 2019, the FTC issued an Opinion & Order reversing the Administrative Law Judge’s decision. The Opinion & Order did not provide for any monetary damages but enjoined Impax from entering into future agreements containing certain terms. Impax filed a Petition for Review of the FTC’s Opinion & Order with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and on April 13, 2021, the Fifth Circuit issued a decision denying Impax’s Petition for Review, effectively affirming the FTC’s Opinion & Order. On September 10, 2021, Impax filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court, which was denied in December 2021. On July 12, 2019, the Company received a CID from the FTC concerning an August 2017 settlement agreement between Impax and Endo, which resolved a subsequent patent infringement and breach of contract dispute between the parties regarding the above-referenced June 2010 settlement agreement related to Opana® ER. The Company cooperated with the FTC regarding the CID. On January 25, 2021, the FTC filed a complaint against Endo, Impax and Amneal in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the 2017 settlement violated antitrust laws. In April 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the FTC’s complaint, and that motion is currently pending. The Company believes it has strong defenses to the FTC’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend the action, however, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the litigation. Opana ER® Antitrust Litigation From June 2014 to April 2015, a number of complaints styled as class actions on behalf of direct purchasers and indirect purchasers (or end-payors) and several separate individual complaints on behalf of certain direct purchasers (the “opt-out plaintiffs”) of Opana ER® were filed against Endo and Impax. In December 2014, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “JPML”) transferred the actions to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (“N.D. Ill.”) for coordinated pretrial proceedings, as In Re: Opana ER Antitrust Litigation (MDL No. 2580) (“MDL”). In each case, the complaints allege that Endo engaged in an anticompetitive scheme by, among other things, entering into an anticompetitive settlement agreement with Impax to delay generic competition of Opana ER® and in violation of state and federal antitrust laws. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. In June 2022, Impax entered into a preliminary settlement agreement with the class of direct purchasers that, if all conditions are satisfied, would result in the resolution of substantially all the direct purchasers’ and individual complainants’ underlying claims and lawsuits in the MDL. At the same time, Impax entered into a settlement agreement with individual complainants that resolved all of their claims and lawsuits in the MDL. Subsequently, Impax entered into a separate preliminary settlement agreement with the class of indirect purchasers that, if all conditions are satisfied, would result in the resolution of substantially all the indirect purchasers’ underlying claims and lawsuits in the MDL. The direct purchaser plaintiffs, indirect purchaser plaintiffs, and individual complainants are referred to herein collectively as “the Plaintiffs.” On November 3, 2022, the N.D. Ill. approved the direct purchasers’ settlement. On December 15, 2022, the N.D. Ill. approved the indirect purchasers’ settlement. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, the Company has agreed to pay a total of $265.0 million between 2022 and mid-January 2024 to resolve substantially all the Plaintiffs’ claims. 3% interest is due on $150.0 million payable between December 2022 and mid-January 2024. The settlement agreements are not an admission of liability or fault by Impax, the Company or its subsidiaries. Upon court approval of the final settlement agreements as discussed above, substantially all the claims and lawsuits in the litigation were resolved. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $262.8 million associated with the settlement agreements. Imputed interest of $2.2 million will be recognized to interest expense during the payment period. Sergeants Benevolent Association Health & Welfare Fund v. Actavis, PLC, et. al. In August 2015, a complaint styled as a class action was filed against Forest Laboratories (a subsidiary of Actavis plc) and numerous generic drug manufacturers, including Amneal, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York involving patent litigation settlement agreements between Forest Laboratories and the generic drug manufacturers concerning generic versions of Forest’s Namenda® IR product. The complaint (as amended on February 12, 2016) asserts federal and state antitrust claims on behalf of indirect purchasers, who allege in relevant part that during the class period they indirectly purchased Namenda® IR or its generic equivalents in various states at higher prices than they would have absent the defendants’ allegedly unlawful anticompetitive conduct. Plaintiff seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On September 13, 2016, the Court stayed the indirect purchaser plaintiff’s claims pending factual development or resolution of claims brought in a separate, related complaint by direct purchasers (in which the Company is not a defendant). On September 10, 2018, the Court lifted the stay and referred the case to the assigned Magistrate Judge for supervision of supplemental, non-duplicative discovery in advance of mediation to be scheduled in 2019. The parties thereafter participated in supplemental discovery, as well as supplemental motion-to-dismiss briefing. On December 26, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part motions to dismiss the indirect purchaser plaintiff’s claims. On January 7, 2019, Amneal, its relevant co-defendants, and the indirect purchaser plaintiff informed the Magistrate Judge that they had agreed to mediation, which occurred in April 2019. In June 2019, the Company reached a settlement with the plaintiff, subject to Court approval. On September 10, 2019, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and indefinitely staying the case as to the settling defendants (including the Company), until the disposition of the claims against the non-settling defendants. The remaining defendants subsequently also settled with the plaintiff. The plaintiff filed proposed materials seeking final approval of all settlements, including with the Company, and to finally resolve the case. The Court has scheduled a fairness hearing on the proposed settlement, which is set to take place on March 23, 2023. The amount of the settlement was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. United States Department of Justice Investigations On November 6, 2014, Impax disclosed that one of its sales representatives received a grand jury subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). On March 13, 2015, Impax received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ requesting the production of information and documents regarding the sales, marketing, and pricing of four generic prescription medications. Impax has cooperated in the investigation and produced documents and information in response to the subpoenas from 2014 to 2016. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation. On April 30, 2018, Impax received a CID from the Civil Division of the DOJ (the “Civil Division”). The CID requests the production of information and documents regarding the pricing and sale of Impax’s pharmaceuticals and interactions with other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers regarding whether generic pharmaceutical manufacturers engaged in market allocation and price-fixing agreements, paid illegal remuneration, and caused false claims to be submitted to the Federal government. Impax has cooperated with the Civil Division’s investigation. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of the investigation. In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation Since March 2016, multiple putative antitrust class action complaints have been filed on behalf of direct purchasers, indirect purchasers (or end-payors), and indirect resellers, as well as individual complaints on behalf of certain direct and indirect purchasers, and municipalities (the “opt-out plaintiffs”) against manufacturers of generic drugs, including Impax and the Company. The complaints allege a conspiracy to fix, maintain, stabilize, and/or raise prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for various generic drugs in violation of federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. The lawsuits have been consolidated in an MDL in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ( In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, No. 2724, (E.D. Pa . )). On May 10, 2019, Attorneys General of 43 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut against various manufacturers and individuals, including the Company, alleging a conspiracy to fix, maintain, stabilize, and/or raise prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for multiple generic drugs. On November 1, 2019, the State Attorneys General filed an Amended Complaint on behalf of nine additional states and territories. On June 10, 2020, Attorneys General of 46 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Territory of Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia filed a new complaint against various manufacturers and individuals, including the Company, alleging a conspiracy to fix prices, rig bids, and allocate markets or customers for additional generic drugs. Plaintiff States seek unspecified monetary damages and penalties and equitable relief, including disgorgement and restitution. On September 9, 2021, the State Attorneys General filed an Amended Complaint on behalf of California in addition to the original Plaintiff States. Both the May 10, 2019 and June 10, 2019 lawsuits have been incorporated into MDL No. 2724, and the June 10, 2020 lawsuit has been selected for bellwether status. On March 30, 2022, the State of Alabama voluntarily dismissed all its claims in the two actions against all defendants, including the Company, without prejudice. On February 21, 2023, the Territory of Guam voluntarily dismissed all its claims in the two actions against all defendants, including the Company, with prejudice. On February 27, 2023, the Court addressed defendants’ motions to dismiss the June 10, 2020 bellwether action, holding that the states may not pursue certain federal remedies, and otherwise denying Amneal’s joint and individual motion to dismiss. The court did not analyze the substance of the states’ state law claims, reserving those issues for a separate ruling. Fact and document discovery in MDL No. 2724 are proceeding. The court has entered a Pretrial Order setting a schedule for the bellwether cases, which includes a June 1, 2023 deadline for bellwether fact discovery and a March 13, 2023 deadline for the filing of summary judgement motions. No trial date has been set. On June 3, 2020, the Company and Impax were also named in a putative class action complaint filed in the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto, Ontario against numerous generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, on behalf of a putative class of individuals who purchased generic drugs in the private sector from 2012 to the present (Kathryn Eaton v. Teva Canada Limited, et. al., No. T-607-20). The complaint alleges price fixing, among other claims. On August 23, 2022, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. The case has otherwise not progressed to date. Civil Prescription Opioid Litigation The Company and certain of its affiliates have been named as defendants in various matters filed in state and federal courts relating to the sale of prescription opioid pain relievers. Plaintiffs in these actions include state Attorneys General, county and municipal governments, hospitals, Native American tribes, pension funds, third-party payors and individuals. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other forms of relief based on various causes of action, including negligence, public nuisance, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy, as well as alleged violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), state and federal controlled substances laws and other statutes. All cases involving the Company also name other manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies as defendants, and there are numerous other cases involving allegations relating to prescription opioid pain relievers against other manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies in which the Company and its affiliates are not named. Nearly all cases pending in federal district courts have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in an MDL in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (In re: National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Case No. 17-mdl-2804). There are approximately 914 cases in the MDL in which the Company or its affiliates have been named as defendants. The Company is also named in approximately 77 state court cases pending in ten states. The Company has filed motions to dismiss in many of these cases. No firm trial dates have been set except in Alabama (July 24, 2023) and Texas (May 20, 2024 (Dallas County) and September 30, 2024 (Bexar County). The Company was not involved in the September 2022 trial in New Mexico previously reported because of the tentative settlement the Company reached with the New Mexico Attorney General in May 2022 to resolve the New Mexico Attorney General’s claims against the Company. The Company anticipates a final determination approving the settlement in 2023. On August 3, 2022, the Company and certain of its affiliates were named as defendants in a Complaint filed in Tennessee state court, along with numerous other manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and healthcare providers, in which it is alleged the defendants are liable in civil damages to six minors who allegedly were born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (“NAS”) allegedly as a result of their biological mothers’ alleged use of diverted prescription opioid medications. The plaintiffs’ claim against each defendant in that case requires plaintiffs to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant intentionally participated in Tennessee in that state’s illegal drug market as defined in the Tennessee Drug Dealer Liability Act. The case is currently stayed, but the Company intends to file a motion to dismiss the complaint when the case resumes. The Company also was named in two NAS cases in West Virginia state court which have been consolidated with other West Virginia state court NAS cases before the West Virginia Mass Litigation Panel (“WV MLP”). On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a preliminary settlement agreement to resolve all pending litigation brought by West Virginia political subdivisions. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaints on February 3, 2023. Based on the preliminary settlement agreements with the states of New Mexico and West Virginia and an assessment of the information currently available, the Company recorded an $18.0 million charge for the year ended December 31, 2022, related to the majority of the MDL and state court cases. For the remaining cases, primarily brought by hospitals, pension funds, third-party payors and individuals, the Company has not recorded a liability as of December 31, 2022 because it concluded that a loss was not probable and estimable. New York Attorney General Subpoena On January 13, 2023, the Company received an investigatory subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of New York. The subpoena seeks documents broadly relating to the Company’s opioid business. The Company intends to comply with the subpoena. Securities Class Actions On April 17, 2017, New York Hotel Trades Council & Hotel Association of New York City, Inc. Pension Fund filed an amended putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Impax and four former Impax officers alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 ( Fleming v. Impax Laboratories Inc ., et al., No. 4:16-cv-6557-HSG). Plaintiff alleges that Impax (1) concealed collusion with competitors to fix the price of the generic drug digoxin; (2) concealed anticipated erosion in the price of generic drug diclofenac; and (3) overstated the value of the generic drug budesonide. In August 2019, the Court granted Impax’s motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s second amended complaint in its entirety. Plaintiff appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and on January 11, 2021, the Ninth Circuit issued an unpublished opinion affirming in part and reversing in part the District Court’s decision. Defendants subsequently filed a motion for rehearing with the Ninth Circuit, and Plaintiff filed a motion to intervene seeking to add Sheet Metal Workers’ Pension Fund of Southern California, Arizona and Nevada (“Sheet Metal Workers”) as an additional named Plaintiff. The Ninth Circuit denied the motions, and on April 1, 2021, the case was remanded to the District Court. On April 19, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the remaining claims and an opposition to Sheet Metal Workers’ renewed motion to intervene. In June 2021, the parties reached a tentative agreement to settle all claims in the case for $33 million, subject to certain terms and conditions and subject to court approval. The district court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement on November 22, 2021 and held a fairness hearing on March 31, 2022. On July 15, 2022, the district court entered an order granting final approval of the settlement. On July 21, 2022, a stipulated final judgment was entered, effectively terminating this matter before the district court. The settlement was fully covered by insurance and was paid from an escrow account. Refer to Note 11. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets for amounts deposited into a settlement escrow account as of December 31, 2021. On December 18, 2019, Cambridge Retirement S |
