We note that in 2023 your executive officers received bonuses based on the achievement of performance targets as determined by your board of directors.

Business Divestitures and Asset and Liabilities Held for Sale Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale - Pharma Solutions, page 10 3. Please provide us an analysis under ASC 205-20 as to how you have concluded that the sale of your Pharma Solution disposal group does not meet the discontinued operations criteria, where we note your disclosure that it does not constitute a strategic shift of your operations, and does not, and will not, have major effects on your operations and financial results. In that regard, we also note your disclosure that the Pharma Solution disposal group is primarily made up of most businesses within the Company's existing Pharma Solutions reportable operating segment, which appears to have accounted for a significant percentage of sales, operating profit, and total assets of the company. Refer to examples under ASC 205-20-55-83 through 101. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
