Question: Damayanti Kerai - HSBC - Analyst

heard from J&J is that they are expecting similar dynamics to play out, what we have seen in case of adalimumab, Humira biosimilar, plus any
change from the Part D redesign. So just want to get some sense what you have heard or any like feedback, which you might have got from the
channel partners?
