Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Support and Exchange Agreement
On February 25, 2020, Mallinckrodt plc (the “Company” or “Mallinckrodt”) and Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. and Mallinckrodt CB LLC, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc (such subsidiaries, the “Issuers”), entered into a support and exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Aurelius Capital Master, Ltd., Franklin Advisers, Inc. and Capital Research and Management Company (collectively, the “Exchanging Holders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Issuers agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) commence, by no later than March 20, 2020, a private offer to exchange any and all of the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by the Issuers (the “Existing 2022 Notes”) for new 10.000% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2025 to be issued by the Issuers (such new notes, the “New Notes” and, such private offer to exchange, the “Exchange Offer”), at a rate of $1,000 of New Notes for every $1,000 of Existing 2022 Notes exchanged; and (b) commence, by no later than March 20, 2020, a solicitation of consents from holders of Existing 2022 Notes to certain amendments to eliminate or waive substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in the Existing 2022 Notes and the applicable Indenture, and eliminate certain events of default, modify covenants regarding mergers and the transfer of assets, and modify and eliminate certain other provisions, including covenants regarding future guarantors and certain provisions relating to defeasance (such solicitation of consents, the “Consent Solicitation”). The closing of the Exchange Offer will be conditioned on, among other things, the absence of events materially and adversely affecting the ability to implement the Litigation Settlement, and the funding of the New Term Loans (as defined below) and the effectiveness of the Amendment (as defined below). Under the Exchange Agreement, the Exchanging Holders have agreed to (a) tender in the Exchange Offer all of their Existing 2022 Notes; (b) deliver their consents in the Consent Solicitation; and (c) if the aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer is less than $610,304,000 (the “Exchange Cap”), exchange their 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing 2023 Notes”) for an amount of New Notes equal to the excess, if any, by which the Exchange Cap exceeds the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer, at a rate of $900 of New Notes for every $1,000 of Existing 2023 Notes exchanged. The Exchanging Holders collectively hold approximately $271 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 2022 Notes and approximately $255 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 2023 Notes.
Additionally, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Exchanging Holders have consented, in their capacity as holders of the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2020 issued by the Issuers (the “Existing 2020 Notes”), to the adoption of an amendment to the Existing 2020 Notes and the indenture governing the Existing 2020 Notes to provide for the reduction of the optional redemption notice period from 30 days to three business days.
The foregoing summary of the Exchange Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Support Agreement
On February 25, 2020, Mallinckrodt and the Issuers entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Aurelius Capital Master, Ltd., Franklin Advisers, Inc. and Capital Research and Management Company (collectively, the “Noteholder Parties”) as well as certain existing term lenders under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Lender Parties”), dated as of March 19, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Mallinckrodt, the Issuers, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Deutsche Bank AG New York, as administrative agent, whereby the parties have agreed to make good faith efforts to enter into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, on terms consistent with an agreed term sheet (the “Term Sheet”).
The descriptions below of the Amendment and the New Term Loans are subject to the effectiveness of the Amendment, which is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet and the Amendment. Conditions to the effectiveness of the Amendment, include, among other things, (i) the consent by certain thresholds of the existing term lenders and revolving lenders (which condition has not yet been satisfied as of this date) and (ii) the commencement of an exchange offer with respect to the Existing 2022 Notes, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.
The Amendment, if effected, on the terms contemplated by the Term Sheet, would provide for a commitment from the Noteholder Parties and certain of the Lender Parties (collectively, the “Backstop Lenders”) to provide a new
$800 million senior secured term loan facility (the “New Term Loans”) upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Term Sheet. The New Term Loans will bear interest at an interest rate per annum equal to adjusted LIBOR plus a spread equal to 6.50%.
The New Term Loans will be guaranteed by Mallinckrodt and the same subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt that guarantee the Existing Term Loans (as defined below) and secured by liens on the same assets as secure the Existing Term Loans (as amended by the Amendment and, in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Amendment). The Backstop Lenders will be paid a fee equal to 2.00% of their initial commitments in respect of the New Term Loans, and the lenders that provide the New Term Loans will be paid a fee equal to 2.00% of their commitments in respect of the New Term Loans. The proceeds from the New Term Loans will be used to fund the redemption or repayment of all of the outstanding approximately $614.8 million of the Existing 2020 Notes and additionally to partially repay loans and terminate corresponding commitments in respect of lenders under the Issuers’ revolving credit facility who agree to extend their loans and commitments to March 2024 (as described below).
The New Term Loans will amortize at an annual rate equal to 5.00% of the initial principal amount of the New Term Loans, payable in equal quarterly payments. The remaining principal amount of the New Term Loans will mature on the fourth anniversary of the borrowing date of the New Term Loans. Amounts outstanding under the New Term Loans may be voluntarily prepaid at any time, subject to a prepayment premium equal to (a) 3.00% of the principal amount prepaid if prepaid prior to the first anniversary of the borrowing date of the New Term Loans, (b) 2.00% of the principal amount prepaid if prepaid on or after the first anniversary of the borrowing date of the New Term Loans and prior to the second anniversary thereof, and (c) 1.00% of the principal amount prepaid if prepaid on or after the second anniversary of the borrowing date of the New Term Loans and prior to the third anniversary thereof.
Other than with respect to the maturity date, amortization, the applicable interest rate and prepayment premiums, the New Term Loans will have similar terms to the term loans incurred under the Credit Agreement on February 28, 2017 (the “2017 Term Loans”) and February 13, 2018 (the “2018 Term Loans” and, together with the 2017 Term Loans, the “Existing Term Loans”), in each case, as amended by the Amendment.
The Amendment would also implement certain amendments to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margins applicable to the existing term loans under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loans”) will be increased by 100 basis points. The Existing Term Loans will also amortize at an annual rate increased to 2.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Term Loans on the effective date of the Amendment, payable in equal quarterly payments. Certain other covenants (including the financial covenant), mandatory prepayments and events of default set forth in the existing Credit Agreement will also be modified pursuant to the Amendment, including to facilitate the implementation of the Settlement (as defined below).
Each party to the Amendment that is an existing lender under the Credit Agreement will receive a consent fee equal to 0.50% of their Existing Term Loans or commitment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable.
The foregoing summary of the Support Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
For the three months and fiscal year ended December 27, 2019, the Company reported specialty generics operating income of $28.0 million and $108.1 million, respectively, and specialty generics Adjusted EBITDA of $43.4 million and $171.4 million, respectively. In addition, for the three months and fiscal year ended December 27, 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $1.157.1 million and $996.5 million, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA of $337.4 million and $1,297.4 million, respectively. Reconciliations of these financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as otherwise expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On February 25, 2020, the Company announced that the Company and its specialty generics-focused subsidiaries Mallinckrodt LLC, SpecGx LLC and certain other affiliates (collectively, “Specialty Generics”) reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a global settlement that would resolve all opioid-related claims against the Company, Specialty Generics, and the Company’s other subsidiaries (the “Settlement”).
Under the terms of the proposed Settlement, which would become effective upon Specialty Generics’ emergence from a contemplated Chapter 11 process, subject to court approval and other conditions:
• | Mallinckrodt would pay $1.6 billion in structured payments, of which $300 million would be paid upon Specialty Generics’ emergence from the completed Chapter 11 case, $200 million would be paid on each of the first and second anniversaries of emergence and $150 million would be paid on each of the third through eighth anniversaries of emergence. The substantial majority of these payments are expected to be contributed to a trust which, among other things, would establish an abatement fund to be administered to cover the costs of opioid-addiction treatment and related efforts; |
• | Mallinckrodt would issue to the trust, upon Specialty Generics’ emergence from the contemplated Chapter 11 process, warrants, exercisable at $3.15 per share, to purchase ordinary shares that would represent approximately 19.99% of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding shares, including after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants; and |
• | Specialty Generics would abide by certain agreed-upon operating covenants. |
To implement the Settlement, the Company expects that Specialty Generics, which manufactures certain generic opioid products, among other products, will file voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the coming months. Mallinckrodt plc and its Specialty Brands-related subsidiaries would not be part of the Chapter 11 filing.
A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the Settlement is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the non-binding term sheet with respect to the Settlement and the related support letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, which is considered a “non-GAAP” financial measure under applicable SEC rules and regulations.
Adjusted EBITDA represents amounts prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) and adjusts for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss, adjusted for interest expense, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization, certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business and additional adjustments. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, non-restructuring impairment charges; restructuring charges, net; inventory step-up expense; discontinued operations; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; loss on divestiture; significant legal and environmental charges; separation costs; research and development upfront payments; gains on debt extinguishment, net; unrealized gain on equity investment and other items identified by the Company. Adjusted EBITDA, for the specialty generics segment of the Company, represents segment operating income, adjusted for the aforementioned items, as applicable.
The Company has provided these adjusted financial measures because the Company believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt’s operating results.
This non-GAAP information should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of Mallinckrodt’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2019, which the Company expects to file later today.

This Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by any Party by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that this Agreement shall not prohibit any Lender Party (a Transferor) from assigning or otherwise transferring any Loans or Commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement which are held thereby to another person (a Transferee) to the extent such transfer is permitted by and consummated in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement (a Transfer), provided that as a condition

precedent to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, such Transferee executes and delivers a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to counsel to the Borrowers (as set forth in Section 10(a) hereof) at or prior to the time of such Transfer, and such Transferee shall assume all obligations of the Transferor with respect such rights or obligations; it being understood that nothing in this sentence shall require any Transferor (or permit any Transferor, to the extent such assignment is subject to restriction) to assign all or any portion of its New Commitments as a result of any Transfer. With respect to any Transfers effectuated in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, (A) such transferee shall be deemed to be a Lender Party for purposes of this Agreement, and (B) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have acknowledged such Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Funding Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any New Commitments to provide the New Term Loans (other than to another Lender Party) at any time without the consent of the Mallinckrodt Parties. Subject to the preceding three sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void ab initio.
(i) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated or referred to herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties with respect thereto.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies or PDF or similar electronic data format copies of signatures shall constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement and any enforcement hereof.
(l) Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(m) Interpretation. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof.

Settlement Terms Include Structured Payments of $1.6 Billion Over Eight Years and Warrants for 19.99% of Companys Outstanding Shares

Debt Refinancing Activities Address Near Term Maturities
Conference Call Today at 8:30 AM ET
STAINES-UPON-THAMES, United Kingdom February 25, 2020 Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK) (Mallinckrodt or the Company) today announced that the Company and its specialty generics-focused subsidiaries Mallinckrodt LLC, SpecGx LLC and certain other affiliates (collectively, Specialty Generics) have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a global settlement that would resolve all opioid-related claims against the Company, Specialty Generics, and the Companys other subsidiaries. The agreement in principle has been reached with a court-appointed plaintiffs executive committee representing the interests of thousands of plaintiffs in the opioid multidistrict litigation1, and is supported by a broad-based group of 47 state and U.S. Territory Attorneys General.
Under the terms of the proposed settlement, which would become effective upon Specialty Generics emergence from a contemplated Chapter 11 process, subject to court approval and other conditions:
| Plaintiffs would receive $1.6 billion in structured payments, of which $300 million would be received upon Specialty Generics emergence from the completed Chapter 11 case, $200 million would be received on each of the first and second anniversaries of emergence, and $150 million would be received on each of the third through eighth anniversaries of emergence. The substantial majority of those payments are expected to be contributed to a trust which, among other things, would establish an abatement fund to be administered to cover the costs of opioid-addiction treatment and related efforts. |
| Upon Specialty Generics emergence from the contemplated Chapter 11 process, the trust would receive warrants, exercisable at $3.15 per share, to purchase ordinary shares that would represent approximately 19.99% of the Companys fully diluted outstanding shares, including after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants. |
| Specialty Generics would abide by certain agreed-upon operating covenants. |
A copy of the term sheet outlining the terms of the proposed settlement, including the conditions to the effectiveness of the settlement, has been filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K filed by the Company today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
To implement the proposed settlement, the Company expects that Specialty Generics, which manufactures certain generic opioid products, among other products, will file voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the coming months. Mallinckrodt plc and its Specialty Brands-

related subsidiaries would not be part of the Chapter 11 filing. This court-supervised process is expected to lead to the creation of a trust which, among other things, would establish an abatement fund to offset the expense of helping to combat opioid addiction and providing support to communities impacted by opioid abuse. The court-supervised process is also expected to provide a fair, orderly, efficient and legally binding mechanism to resolve all opioid-related claims against the Company, Specialty Generics, and all of Mallinckrodts other subsidiaries and related entities. It is expected that Mallinckrodt plc would receive the benefit of a channeling injunction that would provide for the release of all opioid-related claims that have been or could have been asserted against Mallinckrodt plc or its subsidiaries related to Specialty Generics manufacture and sale of opioids prior to the time the Specialty Generics Chapter 11 plan becomes effective.
Mallinckrodt and all of its subsidiaries, including Specialty Generics, are operating as normal and are expected to continue operating normally throughout the court-supervised process contemplated for Specialty Generics. The Company currently expects that Specialty Generics would continue to be an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc during and following emergence from the contemplated court-supervised process. Upon emergence, the Company will continue to evaluate strategic options for the Specialty Generics business.
Related Debt Refinancing Activities
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into a support agreement with certain of its existing term lenders, as well as certain of its existing noteholders, as new lenders, relating to an amendment to the Companys existing credit agreement on terms consistent with an agreed term sheet.
Conditions to the effectiveness of the amendment include, among other things, (i) the consent by certain thresholds of the existing term lenders and revolving lenders (which condition has not yet been satisfied as of this date) and (ii) the commencement of an exchange offer with respect to the Companys 5.750% senior notes due August 2022 (the 2022 Notes), pursuant to the exchange agreement (as described below).
The amendment, if effected, would provide for a new $800.0 million term loan with a four-year term and would implement certain other amendments on the terms described in the term sheet.
The proceeds of the new term loan will be used to fund the redemption or repayment of all of the Companys outstanding 4.875% senior notes due April 2020, and additionally to partially repay loans and terminate corresponding commitments under the revolving credit facility in respect of revolving lenders who agree to extend their loans and commitments to March 2024.
The amendments to the existing credit agreement would provide for, among other things, certain changes to the covenants, including the financial covenant, a rate increase of 100 basis points for existing term loans, and an increase in amortization on the existing term loans.
Although the term sheet relating to the proposed settlement had included a reference to the Company making an exchange offer for its 2020 notes, the Company currently plans to enter into the amendment and to use the proceeds of the new term loan thereunder to refinance its 2020 notes, in lieu of any exchange offer for the 2020 notes.
In addition, pursuant to a separate exchange agreement, certain senior noteholders have agreed to tender their 2022 Notes in exchange for new 10.000% second lien notes due April 2025 (2025 Notes), on a par-for-par basis, pursuant to an exchange offer that would be commenced by certain subsidiaries of the Company. To the extent the exchange offer is not fully subscribed, these noteholders have also agreed to exchange 5.625% senior notes due October 2023 held thereby (the 2023 Notes) for such 2025 Notes, at a rate of 90 cents of 2025 Notes for every dollar of 2023 Notes.
The foregoing agreements are described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company today.

Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mallinckrodt, said, Reaching this agreement in principle for a global opioid resolution and the associated debt refinancing activities announced today are important steps toward resolving the uncertainties in our business related to the opioid litigation. Importantly, when finalized, we believe the proposed settlement and capital restructuring activities will provide us with a clear path forward to achieving our long term strategy, preserving value for our financial stakeholders and providing us with the flexibility to operate effectively.
Trudeau continued, In spite of the uncertainties impacting the business, we have continued to deliver strong earnings and cash flow as evidenced by our fourth quarter and 2019 results issued today. These results reflect the strength of both Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics and underscore our vision for the future of these businesses. Our pipeline continues to build momentum, with the expected filings of terlipressin and StratGraft® in the coming months, as well as the completion of key clinical study results and data readouts across the portfolio. Looking ahead, we remain focused on our vision to develop and bring to market innovative therapies for underserved patients with severe and critical conditions.

THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL POLICY
The issuance of the warrants to the trust as part of the proposed settlement would normally require approval of the Companys shareholders according to the Shareholder Approval Policy of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange). The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the delay necessary in securing shareholder approval prior to the issuance of the warrants would seriously jeopardize the financial viability of Company. Because of that determination, the Audit Committee, pursuant to an exception provided in the Exchanges shareholder approval policy for such a situation, expressly approved the Companys omission to seek the shareholder approval that would otherwise have been required under that policy. The Exchange has accepted the Companys application of the exception.
