Situation Update Mallinckrodt (the “Company”) and its specialty generics-focused subsidiaries (“SGx”) have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of a global settlement (“Global Settlement”)(1) that would resolve all opioid-related claims against the Company, SGx, and the Company’s other subsidiaries as well as a new money financing and exchange offer that address its near-term maturities Update Global Settlement The Global Settlement, announced publicly on February 25th, would be effectuated through a bankruptcy filing of the SGx subsidiaries and contemplates a stream of cash flows ($1.6B in total) payable by the Company over 8 years upon the emergence of SGx and 19.99% of the Company’s equity in the form of warrants struck at $3.15 / share, among other terms and conditions The Global Settlement would allow the Company to resolve all outstanding opioid-related litigation in bankruptcy court with the ability to stay all litigation against the Company and bind plaintiffs to the terms of the Global Settlement, avoiding continued litigation with the various states, municipalities, etc. Debt Refinancing and Exchange / Credit Agreement Amendment To effectuate the Global Settlement, the Company has entered into agreements with certain of its credit agreement lenders and senior noteholders whereby those parties would provide a new $690MM term loan, the proceeds of which would redeem the $615MM unsecured notes due 2020 and pay accrued interest, fees and expenses The Company has also agreed to a modification of its existing credit agreement, which includes certain negative covenant changes, a one-time fee of 0.50% for consenting lenders, an interest rate increase of 1.00% for existing term loans, and a step-up in amortization on the existing term loans The Company is seeking the consent of the lenders under the Credit Agreement with respect to this amendment In addition to participating in the financing to redeem the April 2020 senior notes, certain senior noteholders have agreed to tender their 5.750% senior notes due August 2022 in exchange for new 10.000% second lien notes due April 2025, on a par-for-par basis(2) ________________________ Source: Please refer to exhibit to a Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 25, 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Note: Summary terms shown herein; Subject to definitive documentation The Global Settlement was reached with a court-appointed plaintiffs’ executive committee representing the interests of thousands of plaintiffs in the opioid multidistrict litigation (Captioned In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Case No. 17-md-2804 (N.D. Ohio)) and is supported by a broad-based group of 47 state and U.S. Territory Attorneys General. To the extent the exchange offer is not fully subscribed, these holders have agreed to exchange their 5.625% senior notes due October 2023 for such new April 2025 second lien notes, at a rate of 90% of par.
Summary Settlement Terms Subject to definitive documentation, the summary terms of the Global Settlement are shown below: Term Sheet Implementation Mechanic Settlement to be effectuated via a pre-arranged chapter 11 filing of the SGx subsidiaries and creation of a trust for the benefit of the opioid plaintiffs; SGx entities would be unrestricted prior to filing Channeling injunction and nonconsensual release of all existing and future opioid-related claims for the benefit of Parent and all its subsidiaries (including SGx entities) and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, and other customary related parties Consummated upon SGx emergence from chapter 11 (the “Closing”) Specialty Generics Business SGx business and all related cash flows to be retained by Parent Following a sale of SGx, or a material portion of the assets or business thereof, and subject to compliance with existing covenants (as may be modified in connection with the exchange, the Settlement or otherwise), 50% of any net proceeds remaining after compliance with the Company’s debt documents shall be applied to reduce future deferred cash payments owed to the plaintiffs ratably in equal amounts Upfront Cash Payment $300 million due upon Closing Deferred Cash Payment $1.3 billion total deferred cash payments $200 million due on first and second anniversary of Closing $150 million due on third through eighth anniversary of Closing MNK Equity Warrants to purchase 19.99% of the fully diluted shares outstanding struck at $3.15/share, with 8-year expiration Maximum exercise of warrants to purchase 5% of shares per quarter Conditions to Effectiveness For a complete list of conditions to effectiveness, please refer to exhibit to a Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 25, 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission _____________ Source: Please refer to exhibit to a Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 25, 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Note: Summary terms shown herein; Subject to definitive documentation
Benefits of the Global Settlement and Refinancing Transactions Commentary Final Opioid Resolution The Global Settlement would allow the Company and its constituents to resolve with finality the ongoing litigation related to its generic opioids business Avoids Protracted Litigation The alternative to a global settlement would be continued litigation and interim settlements; with thousands of potential plaintiffs, the time and expense related to continued litigation is astronomical and unsustainable Resolves Challenges to Claims and Liens Absent a settlement, the Company could be forced into a whole company chapter 11 proceeding, the results of which could not be predicted and may result in the impairment of claims Financial Creditors Would Retain Value of Generics While the Company will need to unrestrict SGx subsidiaries in order to file them, it intends to re-restrict the SGx subsidiaries following emergence from chapter 11, and the amended credit agreement will include a covenant requiring re-restriction at that time Enhanced Economics and Protections to Creditors The debt refinancing transactions contemplate providing substantial improvements in pricing and protections to participating Lenders in the forms of fees, additional rate / amortization and tightening of certain negative covenants Continued Strong Credit Profile The terms of the Global Settlement are sustainable from a liquidity and leverage perspective, and still allow for meaningful deleveraging in the near- and long-term
