`
`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC-SRF Document 540 Filed 03/20/20 Page 2 of 3 PageID #:

`
`I,
`
`, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am employed by Epiq Systems, Inc. (“Epiq”) as a Project Director. I
`
`am familiar with the facts set forth herein, and if called as a witness, I could and
`
`would testify competently to those facts under oath.
`
`2.
`
`Early on February 29, 2020, Epiq experienced a cyber incident. As part
`
`of Epiq’s comprehensive response plan, it immediately took its systems offline
`
`globally.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`3.
`
`No documents, metadata, or Amgen work-product (including back-up
`
`copies) can be accessed or exported by Epiq, Amgen, or outside counsel until the
`
`discovery database is back online and it has been certified by Epiq and Amgen’s in-
`
`house IT security department. Which documents, metadata or work product will be
`
`then available (and over what time frame) depends on the nature of the damage
`
`caused by the attack, the condition of backups available, and the time needed to
`
`reconstitute what can be reconstituted.
`
`4.
`
`Epiq is working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
