Board Chair Carrie S. Cox will also take on additional responsibilities on an interim basis as Executive Chair to support Mr. Morrissey in his new role. Director Robert Essner will assume the role of Lead Independent Director.<\/p>\n<p>\nThese appointments follow the resignation of Kevin Ali as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board in connection with the Audit Committee investigation described below. Mr. Ali has agreed that he will not be entitled to severance or equity-related retirement benefits in connection with his resignation.<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter concerns regarding the Company\u2019s wholesaler sales practices for its <i>Nexplanon<\/i>\u00ae product were brought to the Board\u2019s attention, the Audit Committee of the Board oversaw an independent, internal investigation into its sales to wholesalers. The investigation found that certain wholesalers in the United States were asked to buy more <i>Nexplanon<\/i> than they needed at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and the first, second and third quarters of 2025. The investigation found these sales represented less than 1% of the Company\u2019s consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2024 as applicable but enabled Organon to meet guidance and\/or certain external revenue expectations. The Company\u2019s Board determined that these wholesaler sales practices were improper and certain of the Company\u2019s prior statements were inaccurate or incomplete. While the findings to date do not necessitate a restatement or revision to any previously issued financial statements, the Company is taking remedial actions to improve its financial controls and address any material weaknesses. In connection with the investigation, the Company terminated the employment of its Head of U.S. Commercial &amp; Government Affairs. There has been no finding that the Company\u2019s Chief Financial Officer was aware of the improper wholesaler sales practices.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Board is initiating a search for a permanent CEO, including both internal and external candidates, and retaining a search firm to assist with the process.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe Board has confidence in Joe Morrissey\u2019s ability to drive operational excellence,\u201d said Ms. Cox. \u201cJoe has extensive experience in senior leadership roles and is a highly regarded leader inside the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCarrie\u2019s deep experience leading global pharmaceutical businesses, coupled with her extensive Board experience, will complement Joe\u2019s skills and make her the right partner to assist Joe in leading the company forward. We thank both Joe and Carrie for stepping up to lead our company during this period and believe they have the integrity, skills and experience to continue executing on our strategy to drive Organon\u2019s business,\u201d said Mr. Essner.<\/p>\n<p>\nMr. Morrissey, a member of the Company\u2019s executive leadership team, has served as head of Organon\u2019s global manufacturing and supply chain capabilities for over four years, leading the company\u2019s efforts to deliver medicines and solutions around the world. Mr. Morrissey came to Organon from Merck &amp; Co., Inc, where he spent more than 30 years of his career. From 2017 to 2021, Mr. Morrissey served as Senior Vice President of Merck\u2019s Animal Health Global Manufacturing and Supply, and from 2014 to 2016 as Senior Vice President and leader of Global Human Health Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. Previously, he held positions of increasing responsibility in pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturing, global facilities management, corporate strategy and supply chain management.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI look forward to continuing to execute on Organon\u2019s business strategy, including further delevering the business and driving cost savings while achieving revenue growth,\u201d said Mr. Morrissey. \u201cWe believe Organon\u2019s focus on operational execution, especially around our growth pillars, as well as reducing our debt ratios will drive long-term shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company currently intends to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 by the deadline imposed by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d). The Company plans to host a call and webcast to discuss third quarter 2025 financial results in connection with the filing of its Form 10-Q. Details are forthcoming. For additional information regarding these matters, please refer to Organon\u2019s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 27, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Organon<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOrganon (NYSE: OGN) is a global healthcare company with a mission to deliver impactful medicines and solutions for a healthier every day.
