ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, in July 2013 we and other BRCA patent owners filed a complaint against Ambry Genetics Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, alleging that Ambry’s testing services infringe various patent claims owned by the BRCA patent owners which relate to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, and seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent Ambry from selling these testing services pending a final decision on the merits of the case.

On March 10, 2014, the District Court denied our motion for preliminary injunctive relief. We believe the BRCA patents at issue in this case are valid, enforceable and infringed, and are confident we will prevail based on the full evidence. A trial date has not been scheduled.
