Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a)Undertakings required by Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1.  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii.To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

  

2.                                       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.                                       To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

   

(b)                                      Undertakings required by Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K

 

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)                                       Undertakings required by Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K

 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: OraSure Technologies, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary of OraSure Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I am familiar with the registration statement on Form S-8 (“Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), 5,000,000 shares (the “Registered Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $.000001 par value (“Common Stock”), to be issued in connection with the OraSure Technologies, Inc. Stock Award Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), together with options and other rights related thereto.

 

I have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise authenticated to my satisfaction, of all corporate records, documents, agreements or other instruments of the Company, and have made such investigation of law, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for this opinion.

 

I am admitted to the Bar of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I express no opinion as to the basis of any jurisdiction other than the Federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Registered Shares, when sold and delivered by the Company upon exercise of options or pursuant to other rights duly granted under the Plan against payment for such shares to the extent and in the manner required by the Plan and the terms of any applicable grant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

I consent to the reference made to me and the use of this opinion in the Registration Statement and in any amendments thereof.

 

 

 

Exhibit 23.1

 

 

Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors
OraSure Technologies, Inc.:

We consent to the use of our reports dated March 2, 2020, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of OraSure Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, incorporated by reference herein.

Our report on the consolidated financial statements refers to a change in the accounting for leases as of January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016‑02, Leases.

Our report dated March 2, 2020, on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company acquired CoreBiome, Inc., Novosanis NV, and Diversigen, Inc. (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”) during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, the Acquired Companies’ internal control over financial reporting associated with 11.7% of total assets and 4.0% of total revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the Acquired Companies.
