Amendment Description OraSure Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2026 (the “Original Report”).The sole purpose of this Amendment is to correct an inadvertent error in the XBRL Interactive Data Tables Exhibits that were initially filed with the Original Report. Such exhibits to the Original Report erroneously included references to a prospective transaction by the Company, which was included due to an administrative error. This Amendment removes those references. The correction does not affect the financial statements or narrative disclosures contained in the Original Report. Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or modify any disclosure in the Original Report.
