Item 8.01 Other Matters.
As we have previously disclosed, we received a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Division of Corporate Finance, dated November 24, 2015 with respect to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 (collectively, the “Reviewed Filings”). We submitted a response to that initial comment letter and received follow-up comments and submitted responses to the follow-up comments. As of the date of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, we believed that the only comments that remained open related to our accounting for the $71.5 million receivable from AmerisourceBergen Drug Company (“ABDC”) as of September 30, 2015 and the withholding of approximately $48.8 million of normal recurring payments due to ABDC. On March 1, 2016, we received a letter from the Staff of the SEC stating that they have completed their review of the Reviewed Filings.
