Comcast substantially reorganized its financial risk disclosures by eliminating duplicate "Adjusted EBITDA" entries and removing segment-specific revenue risks while adding a new tax risk related to the planned Separation transaction. The 43 modified risks - including critical disclosures on cybersecurity, intellectual property, and net income metrics - indicate significant rewording and substantive updates to existing risk categories rather than wholesale elimination of risk exposure areas. The net addition of only three new risks alongside four removals suggests Comcast's primary strategic shift centers on the Separation's tax implications rather than fundamental changes to its underlying business risk profile.

If the Separation does not qualify as non-taxable, we and/or holders of our common stock could be subject to significant tax liability.

We have received an opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP that the Separation qualified as non-taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the opinion, the IRS or a court could determine that the Separation should be treated as taxable. If the Separation does not qualify as non-taxable, we and/or holders of our common stock could be subject to substantial U.S. and/or applicable non-U.S. taxes as a result, and we could incur significant liabilities under applicable law. If the failure to qualify is caused by any action taken by Versant, Versant is required to indemnify us for any resulting tax liabilities. Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Governance Matters
