7 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 17, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Feb 13, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 59 Health care companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.
The confidentiality, collection, use, retention, security, transfer and disclosure of personal information is subject to governmental regulation in the countries where the personal information was collected or processed.

Under most laws and regulations around the world, any information that relates to an identifiable natural person is considered “personal information”. In general, health information related to an identifiable person is considered “sensitive personal information” and is highly regulated. Processing health information carries additional obligations under these laws and regulations, often including the need to obtain the explicit consent of the individual for collection, use or disclosure of the information.
In many countries, there are restrictions related to the cross-border transfer of personal information to other countries, including the need to put measures in place to allow the data transfer to occur. For example, registration with the EU-US Data Protection Framework (DPF) allows the transfer of data from the EU to US. For companies not registering with the DPF, another means of legalizing the transfer is the use of standard contractual clauses. In addition, in several countries around the world there are requirements to maintain personal information or sensitive personal information within that particular country under their data localization laws.

We are subject to rapidly changing and varied expectations and requirements on sustainability-related issues, from a wide range of stakeholders, such as governmental and self-regulatory organizations, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. federal and state governments, New York Stock Exchange, and the European Union, as well as our investors, customers and suppliers. In addition, many of our stakeholders have diverging demands, perspectives and preferences on a variety of sustainability topics. We may not be able to meet the diverging expectations and demands of all of our stakeholders, which could result in an adverse impact on our business, financial results, stock price or reputation, and subject us to legal, reputational and operational risks.
Similar paragraph at 1 of 59 other Health care companies: AFor example, U.S. federal, state and local governmental authorities, as well as governmental authorities in various jurisdictions, have proposed or implemented and are likely to continue to propose or implement, legislative and regulatory initiatives around corporate governance and environmental and social practices and disclosures. Compliance with such evolving expectations, rules and regulations, including any that may emerge in the future as well as customer expectations and requirements, could increase the cost and complexity of operating our business, and could adversely impact us. In addition, various jurisdictions have adopted or proposed laws, regulations and policies that diverge from, or potentially conflict with, those adopted or proposed in other jurisdictions, making compliance more difficult and uncertain. Failure to comply with any law, regulation or policy, including as a result of making good faith interpretations that may differ from those taken by authorities in relevant jurisdictions, could potentially result in legal, reputational and operational risks. In addition, compliance with new laws, regulations, and reporting requirements may increase our costs, result in disclosures of potentially competitively sensitive information, or may cause us to be targeted by activists, regulators, or others who want us to take a different approach to such matters or increase our disclosures or commitments.

The 10-Q's risk factors against the 10-K
Item 1A of the 10-Q filed Oct 27, 2026 against Item 1A of the 10-K filed Feb 17, 2026.
A 10-Q repeats only the risks that changed, so a 10-K paragraph that is missing from it is not counted as removed.
Added is a paragraph with nothing like it in the 10-K, Reworded a sentence that is in both with several words changed,
Quiet changes a sentence in both where one to four words changed and one is a hedge or a modal
(cut words struck through, new words highlighted and underlined).
Text on the page, not a score; each links to the filing at sec.gov.
