<div><font face="Calibri" size="2">This is consistent with my point, which may have been cryptic. We have at least one DEA authorized contractor operating in Minnesota, but they mainly work with hospitals vs. pharmacies. Although I am going to check in with
them to see if the option of using SW incinerators is of interest. Again, the logistics might not make sense, but I want to at least let them know the option is available. </font></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">It’s my understanding the contents of the kiosks must go through a reverse distributor to be in compliance with the DEA regulations, so neither the pharmacy
nor the vendor can take the drugs directly to an incinerator. This keeps two DEA registrants in the process to avoid diversion.

use local incineration options, which are likely cheaper per pound, but would be a change in those companies current reverse distribution model, which overall might not result in savings... Just thinking about how to keep costs down...there is also at least
one SW incinerator in WI that could take these without the out of state trip to a HW incinerator...</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
