Agreement Reached with Attorneys General of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

 

On August 13, 2024, the Attorneys General of New York and Connecticut issued press releases announcing that agreements, effective as of August 8, 2024, were entered into between Enzo Biochem, Inc., its subsidiary Enzo Clinical Labs, Inc., the assets of which were sold resulting in the cessation of our clinical services operations (together the “Company”), and the Attorneys General of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. These agreements, consisting of an Assurance of Discontinuance entered into with the New York Attorney General, a Consent Order, entered into with the New Jersey Attorney General, and an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance, entered into with the Connecticut Attorney General, resolve inquiries previously disclosed in the Company’s public filings related to the ransomware attack it experienced in April 2023. As stated in the terms of these agreements, the Company cooperated with the investigations and neither admits nor denies the investigative findings of the Attorneys General. The Company also agrees to monetary relief in the amount of $4.5 million dollars, which shall, within 45 days, be divided and the apportionment paid directly to each of the Attorneys General at their direction. The agreements further require the Company to implement and maintain certain cybersecurity enhancements, substantially all of which have already been undertaken or are underway, as well as an Information Security Program as described in the agreements, on a going forward basis.
