Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information contained in Item 1.03 under the caption “Restructuring Support Agreement” is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 1.03.

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

Voluntary Petition for Reorganization

On October 12, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Mallinckrodt plc (“Mallinckrodt” or the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily initiated proceedings (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The entities that filed the Chapter 11 Cases include the Company, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, including its specialty generics-focused subsidiaries (collectively, “Specialty Generics”) and specialty brands-related subsidiaries (collectively, “Specialty Brands”), and certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries (together with the Company, Specialty Generics and Specialty Brands, the “Debtors”). The Debtors have filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Mallinckrodt plc, Case No. 20-12522 (JTD).

The Company has filed a number of customary motions seeking court authorization to continue to support its business operations during the Chapter 11 Cases, including the continued payment of employee wages and benefits without interruption, payment of critical and foreign vendors, and continuation of customer programs.

Restructuring Support Agreement

On October 11, 2020, the Company and the other Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with creditors holding approximately 84%, by aggregate principal amount, of the Company’s outstanding guaranteed unsecured senior notes and with a group of governmental plaintiffs in the opioid litigation pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including 50 state and territory attorneys general and the court-appointed plaintiffs’ executive committee in the opioid multidistrict litigation (collectively, the “Supporting Parties”).

The RSA incorporates the terms agreed to by the parties reflected in the term sheets attached to the RSA, including an agreement by the Supporting Parties to support the following:

 

   

A proposed resolution of all opioid-related claims against the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the amended proposed settlement, which would become effective upon Mallinckrodt’s emergence from the Chapter 11 process, subject to court approval and other conditions:

 

   

Opioid claims would be channeled to one or more trusts, which would receive $1.6 billion in structured payments consisting of (i) a $450 million payment upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11; (ii) a $200 million payment upon each of the first and second anniversaries of emergence; and (iii) a $150 million payment upon each of the third through seventh anniversaries of emergence with a one-year prepayment option at a discount for all but the first payment.

 

   

Opioid claimants would also receive warrants for approximately 19.99% of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding shares, including after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants, exercisable at a strike price reflecting an aggregate equity value of $1.551 billion.

 

   

Upon commencing the Chapter 11 filing, the Company will comply with an agreed-upon operating injunction with respect to the operation of its opioid business.

 

   

A proposed resolution with the U.S. Department of Justice and other governmental parties to settle a range of litigation matters and disputes relating to Acthar Gel. The terms of this proposed resolution are further described in Item 8.01 below.


   

The reinstatement of the Existing Credit Agreement, the 2020 First Lien Notes Indenture, the First Lien Notes, the 2019 Second Lien Notes Indenture and the Second Lien Notes (each as defined below). At the end of the court-supervised process, all allowed claims under the Existing Credit Agreement, the 2020 First Lien Notes Indenture, the First Lien Notes, the 2019 Second Lien Notes Indenture and the Second Lien Notes are expected to be reinstated at existing rates and maturities.

 

   

A restructuring of the Company’s unsecured notes under the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indentures (as defined below). At the end of the court-supervised process, holders of allowed claims under the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indentures and the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes (as defined below) are expected to receive their pro rata share of $375 million of new secured second lien notes due seven years after emergence and 100% of the ordinary shares of Mallinckrodt, subject to dilution by the warrants described above and certain other equity.

 

   

A proposed resolution of other remaining claims and treatment of equity holders. At the end of the court-supervised process, trade creditors and holders of allowed general unsecured claims are expected to share in $150 million in cash, and equity holders and holders of the 4.75% Senior Notes due 2023 and the Legacy Debentures are expected to receive no recovery.

The restructuring transactions contemplated by the RSA will be effectuated through a plan of reorganization to be proposed by the Debtors (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the RSA, each of the Debtors and the Supporting Parties has made certain customary commitments to each other in connection with the pursuit of the transactions contemplated by the term sheets attached thereto. The Debtors have agreed to, among other things, use commercially reasonable efforts to make all requisite filings with the Bankruptcy Court; continue to involve and update the Supporting Parties’ representatives in the bankruptcy process; and satisfy certain other covenants. The Supporting Parties have committed to support and vote for the Plan and have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or refrain from taking, certain actions in furtherance of such support.

The RSA contains milestones for the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Milestones”), which include the dates by which the Debtors are required to, among other things, obtain certain orders of the Court and consummate the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy. Among other dates set forth in the RSA, the agreement contemplates that the Court shall have entered an order confirming the Plan no later than eleven months after the Petition Date and that the Debtors shall have emerged from bankruptcy no later than fifteen months after the Petition Date.

Each of the parties to the RSA may terminate the agreement (and thereby their support for the Plan) under certain limited circumstances. Any Debtor may terminate the RSA upon, among other circumstances: (i) its board of directors, after consultation with legal counsel, reasonably determining in good faith that performance under the RSA would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; and (ii) certain actions by the Bankruptcy Court, including dismissing the Chapter 11 Cases or converting the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Supporting Parties also have specified termination rights, including, among other circumstances, termination rights that arise if any of the Milestones have not been achieved, extended, or waived. The Supporting Parties’ termination rights may be exercised by a requisite threshold of the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders or by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee (each as defined in the RSA). Termination by one of these creditor groups will result in the termination of the RSA as to the terminating group only, with the RSA remaining in effect with respect to the Debtors and the non-terminating group.

The transactions contemplated by the RSA are subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, among other conditions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transactions described therein will be consummated.

The foregoing summary of the RSA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the RSA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 12, 2020, the Company was notified by the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the ordinary shares of the Company from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D after the Company announced that it had commenced the Chapter 11 Cases. Trading in the Company’s ordinary shares was also suspended on October 12, 2020.

The Company does not intend to appeal the determination of NYSE Regulation. Accordingly, it is expected that NYSE will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s ordinary shares from listing and registration on the NYSE.

 

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company issued a press release on October 12, 2020, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Company is also filing as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K certain presentation materials previously shared with certain creditors of the Company during the course of the discussions leading up to the execution of the RSA.

The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall be deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

The Company has reached an agreement in principle with the U.S. Department of Justice and other governmental parties to settle a range of litigation matters and disputes relating to Acthar Gel. Under the settlement in principle, which is conditioned upon the Company entering the Chapter 11 restructuring process, the Company has agreed to pay $260 million to the Department of Justice and other parties over seven years and reset Acthar Gel’s Medicaid rebate calculation as of July 1, 2020, such that state Medicaid programs will receive 100% rebates on Acthar Gel Medicaid sales, based on current Acthar Gel pricing. Additionally, upon execution of the settlement, the Company will dismiss its appeal of the CMS Medicaid rebate dispute, currently pending in the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In turn, the U.S. Government will drop its demand for nearly $640 million in retroactive Medicaid rebates for Acthar Gel and agree to dismiss a False Claims Act (“FCA”) lawsuit in Boston relating to the Medicaid rebate dispute and an unrelated FCA suit in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania relating to legacy Questcor interactions with an independent charitable foundation.

Mallinckrodt has entered into the agreement in principle to settle with the Department of Justice and other governmental parties solely to move past these litigation matters and disputes and will make no admission of liability or wrongdoing. The Company expects to complete the settlement with the Department of Justice, as well as various states that are party to the Boston FCA litigation, over the next several months, subject to court approval.

A summary of the principal terms of the proposed settlement is included as an exhibit to the RSA, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

a. Nothing contained herein shall (i) limit the ability of any Party to consult with other Parties; or (ii) limit the ability of any Supporting Party to sell or enter into any transactions in connection with the Specified Claims and Interests, or any other claims against or interests in the Company, subject to the terms of this Agreement; or (iii) constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of any applicable credit agreement or indenture or any agreements executed in connection with such credit agreement or indenture. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including its claims against any of the other Parties (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) or its full participation in any bankruptcy case filed by the Company.

 

32


b. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including its claims against any of the other Parties (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) or its full participation in any bankruptcy case filed by the Company or any of its affiliates and subsidiaries. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties. If the Restructuring is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated as to all Parties for any reason, the Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights. If this Agreement is terminated as to any Party or group individually, such Party or group fully reserves any and all of their rights. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rule of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence, and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms. This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. Each of the Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

22. Relationship Among the Supporting Parties. It is understood and agreed that no Supporting Party has any fiduciary duty, duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Supporting Party, the Company, or any other stakeholder of the Company and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Supporting Party may trade in the Claims and Interests of the Company without the consent of the Company or any other Supporting Party, subject to applicable securities laws, the terms of this Agreement, and any Confidentiality Agreement entered into with the Company; provided that no Supporting Party shall have any responsibility for any such trading by any other Person by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Supporting Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

23. Make-Whole Reservation of Rights. Neither this Agreement nor the Term Sheet provide for the treatment of the Make-Whole Claims, and all Parties’ rights related thereto are fully reserved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that a Supporting Unsecured Noteholder (a) may hold First Lien Credit Agreement Claims, First Lien Notes Claims, and/or Second Lien Notes Claims in addition to its Specified Claims and Interests, and (b) that the entry into this Agreement does not limit, waive, impair, or otherwise affect any Supporting Unsecured Noteholder’s right to negotiate for and seek allowance of, or to object to and seek disallowance of, any Make-Whole Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases or the Restructuring, whether in such Unsecured Noteholder’s capacity as an Unsecured Noteholder or otherwise. Nothing contained herein, limits, waives, impairs, or otherwise affects the Company’s right to object to, or seek disallowance of, any Make-Whole Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases or Restructuring and any such actions taken in connection with defending or objecting to the Make-Whole Claims is not inconsistent with the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. Any settlement and/or compromise of any Make-Whole Claim shall be acceptable to the Debtors, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, and any documents evidencing such settlement and/or compromise shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders.

b. Each Party acknowledges that it, or its advisors, has had an opportunity to receive information from the Company and that it has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. Each Supporting Party hereby further confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Company, and without reliance on any statement of any other Party (or such other Party’s financial, legal or other professional advisors), other than such express representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 7.

25. Fees and Expenses.

In furtherance of the foregoing (x) simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company shall pay all such fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred or accrued at any time prior to the Agreement Effective Date; (y) the Company shall pay any accrued but unpaid amounts owing under such engagement letter and/or fee reimbursement letters to the extent

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree: (a) that the provision of any notice or exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is not prohibited by the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) each of the Parties to the extent enforceable waives any right to assert that the exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required, (c) that they shall not take a position to the contrary of this Section 26 in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and (d) they will not initiate, or assert in, any litigation or other legal proceeding that this Section 26 is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

27. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of this RSA and of the Term Sheet, the terms and provisions of the Term Sheet shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers or other authorized persons, solely in their respective capacity as officers or other authorized persons of the undersigned and not in any other capacity, as of the date first set forth above.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet attached thereto as Exhibit A both dated October 11, 2020, to which this term sheet is attached as Annex 2 (the “RSA”). The terms outlined in this Term Sheet assume New Mallinckrodt will be a publicly traded company shortly following Closing consistent with the RSA.

 

Plan Reserve:    A number of New Mallinckrodt Common Shares representing 10% of all equity interests in the Company outstanding immediately after the Closing on a fully diluted basis, taking into account the Plan Reserve and any equity securities issued and outstanding at the Closing, and any warrants or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable therefor, will be reserved for issuance pursuant to the MIP (such securities issued pursuant to the MIP, the “Award Shares”).1
Eligibility:    Company employees, non-employee consultants and outside Directors of the Company Group will be eligible to participate in the MIP. Each person who receives an award pursuant to the MIP is hereinafter referred to as a “Participant”.
Initial Grant:    Not less than 50% of the Plan Reserve shall be granted in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units or options over New Mallinckrodt Common Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) within 30 days following Closing with the allocation of such grants to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company based upon the recommendations of the Company’s CEO (the “Initial Grants”). No more than 25% of the Initial Grants shall be in the form of options.

Vesting of Initial Grants:    The Initial Grants will vest as determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Company’s CEO over a period not exceeding 3 years.
   If a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without “Cause” or by the Participant for “Good Reason” (to be defined in the MIP), all unvested awards that would otherwise vest during the 12 months following such termination, will vest upon termination, subject to the Participant’s execution of a reasonable and customary general release of claims in favor of the Company that becomes effective within 60 days after such termination and continued material compliance with the terms of any non-competition or non-solicitation restrictive covenants to which the Participant is subject.
   The MIP will contain other terms consistent with public company equity incentive plans and awards within the Company’s peer group.
Change in Control:    Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (to be defined in the MIP), to the extent awards are not assumed or substituted, all awards under the MIP shall become fully vested and payable.
Restrictive Covenants:    To the extent a Participant is not already subject to non-compete, non-solicitation or other restrictive covenants, then such Participant will be required to enter into a covenant consistent with Mallinckrodt’s current Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, and Confidentiality Agreement, but with a non-compete/non-solicitation period not to exceed 12 months.

Mallinckrodt Opioid Settlement Term Sheet

This Opioid Settlement Term Sheet, which is Schedule 1 to the Term Sheet (the “Restructuring Term Sheet”) annexed as Exhibit A to the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated October 11, 2020, by and among the Company and the Supporting Parties, describes the proposed treatment of Opioid Claims in connection with the Restructuring contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, as well as certain related implementation and other matters being resolved pursuant to the Opioid Settlement. This Opioid Settlement Term Sheet incorporates the rules of construction set forth in section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in the glossary attached hereto; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Opioid Settlement Term Sheet have the meanings assigned in the Restructuring Support Agreement or the Restructuring Term Sheet, as applicable.

This Opioid Settlement Term Sheet does not include a description of all of the terms, conditions, and other provisions that are to be contained in the definitive documents implementing the Opioid Settlement and broader Restructuring of claims against and interests in the Debtors, which remain subject to negotiation in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement.

 

TERMS OF THE PLAN AND THE RESTRUCTURING

 

Overview    The Opioid Settlement and Restructuring will be implemented through the Plan, consistent with the terms of (a) this Opioid Settlement Term Sheet, (b) the Restructuring Term Sheet and (c) the Restructuring Support Agreement, through the Chapter 11 Cases to be commenced in the Bankruptcy Court.
   The Plan will provide for the establishment of the Opioid Trust, which will receive the Trust Consideration (as defined below), including certain cash payments, the New Opioid Warrants, and certain other assets. All Opioid Claims will be assumed by the Opioid Trust and be discharged, released, and enjoined as to the Company and the other Released Parties.
Treatment of Opioid Claims    As of the Plan Effective Date, Mallinckrodt’s liability for all Opioid Claims shall automatically, and without further act, deed, or court order, be channeled exclusively to and assumed by the Opioid Trust, as described herein. Each Opioid Claim shall be resolved in

 


 

1


   accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the Opioid Trust Documents. The Opioid Trust shall be funded in accordance with the provisions of this Term Sheet. The sole recourse of any Opioid Claimant on account of such Opioid Claim shall be to the Opioid Trust, and each such Opioid Claimant shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert its Opioid Claim against any Protected Party.
Opioid Trust    On the Plan Effective Date, the Opioid Trust will receive (the “Trust Consideration”):
  

•  cash in the amount of $450,000,000;

  

•  the New Opioid Warrants;

  

•  the right to receive cash payments (the “Deferred Cash Payments”) in the following amounts and on the following dates: (a) $200,000,000 on each of the first and second anniversaries of the Plan Effective Date; and (b) $150,000,000 on each of the third through seventh anniversaries of the Plan Effective Date; provided, that at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Plan Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to prepay, in full or in part, the Deferred Cash Payments, at a price equal to the present value of the amounts to be prepaid, at the date of prepayment, discounted at the discount rate that would be required for (x)(i) the present value of the Deferred Cash Payments at the prepayment date plus (ii) $450,000,000 to equal (y)(i) the present value of the payments under the Original Payments Schedule at the prepayment date (excluding the initial $300,000,000 payment provided for in the Original Payments Schedule), discounted at a discount rate of 12% per annum, plus (ii) $300,000,000 (such option, the “Prepayment Option”);1 provided, further, that to the extent the Reorganized Debtors seek to prepay only a portion of the Deferred Cash Payments in accordance with the Prepayment Option, such prepayment shall (x) be funded solely from the net proceeds of an equity raise by the Reorganized Debtors; and (y) prepay Deferred Cash Payments in accordance with the above in inverse order beginning with the payment due on the seventh anniversary of the Plan Effective Date;

  

•  the Assigned Third-Party Claims; and

  

•  the Assigned Insurance Rights.

 

 

1

Annex A sets forth the prepayment cost as of the end of each of the 12 months after the Plan Effective Date. To the extent a prepayment occurs other than at the end of a month, the prepayment cost shall be calculated in accordance with the above formula.

 

2


   The cash payments described above include amounts to be determined by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee for reimbursement of plaintiffs’/claimants attorneys’ fees and costs (not including (i) Restructuring Expenses, which shall be paid directly by the Debtors, and (ii) any reasonable, documented fees and expenses incurred by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee on or after the Plan Effective Date in connection with implementation of the Plan (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the expenses of administration of the Opioid Trust (the “Trust Expenses”)), which shall be paid directly by the Reorganized Debtors), and will be joint and several obligations (or be subject to an economically similar arrangement, e.g., one effected by guarantees, subject to tax considerations) of all of the current and future borrowers, issuers, pledgers and guarantors of the Debtors’ funded indebtedness from time to time; provided, that for so long as the First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes or Takeback Second Lien Notes remain outstanding, in no event shall the cash payments described above be guaranteed by an entity that does not also guarantee the First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes or Takeback Second Lien Notes.

Asset Sales;

Mandatory

Prepayments to Opioid

Trust

   The Plan and Confirmation Order will also provide that, after any sale of (i) Mallinckrodt Enterprises Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, its successors and assigns) or (ii) a material portion of their assets or businesses (including as a result of a merger, equity sale, or asset sale), subject to compliance with the Debtors’ covenants under their funded indebtedness (as may be modified from time to time), fifty percent (50%) of the “net proceeds” of such sale (after, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with then-existing covenants) shall be paid to the Opioid Trust; and the amount of such net proceeds actually conveyed to the Opioid Trust will be deemed a ratable repayment against the remaining structured payments described above that the Opioid Trust is entitled to receive. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors will not be under any obligation to undertake any such sale on any particular timeframe.
Tax Matters   

The Opioid Settlement shall be implemented with the objective of maximizing tax efficiency to (i) Mallinckrodt, including with respect to the availability, location and timing of tax deductions and (ii) to the Opioid Claimants, including with respect to the tax classification of the Opioid Trust.

 

The Opioid Trust will be treated as a qualified settlement fund for tax purposes.

 

3


   The Parties intend that payments to the Opioid Trust will constitute “restitution” within the meaning of Section 162(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, and will be so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent such payments are made to or at the direction of government or governmental entities and to the extent allowed by applicable law.
Certain Insurance Matters    In implementing the assignment of the Assigned Insurance Rights, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the one hand, and the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee or the Opioid Trust, on the other hand, shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith concerning (i) treatment of unsatisfied self-insured retentions under the applicable policies with the objective of minimizing adverse consequences to Mallinckrodt, Reorganized Mallinckrodt, and the Opioid Trust (it being understood that the foregoing obligation shall not require the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors to satisfy all or any portion of any such self-insured retentions) and (ii) any actions by the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or the Opioid Trust to pursue or preserve the insurance policies relating to the Assigned Insurance Rights. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors will use their reasonable best efforts to provide to the Opioid Trust all documents, information, and other cooperation that is reasonably necessary for the Opioid Trust to pursue the Assigned Insurance Rights.
Opioid Trust Documents    The Opioid Trust Documents will comply with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. The material terms of the Opioid Trust Documents will be described in the Disclosure Statement and forms of the Opioid Trust Documents shall be included in the Plan Supplement, with such summaries and forms of documents to be acceptable to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders.
New Opioid Warrants Agreement    The agreement governing the New Opioid Warrants shall constitute Definitive Documentation under the Restructuring Support Agreement and will:
  

•  contain terms and conditions, including, without limitation, cashless exercise option (as far as legally permissible), anti-dilution protection (including, without limitation, against stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) and Black Scholes protections to be agreed, in each case, as customary for transactions of this type and otherwise acceptable to the Debtors and the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee;

  

•  provide for a registration rights agreement satisfactory to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee with respect to the New Opioid Warrants and the stock issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants providing for, among other things, a resale shelf registration statement and customary demand and piggyback rights; and

 

4


  

•  contain enhanced information rights and a covenant requiring Mallinckrodt to, upon request by the Opioid Trust on reasonable notice and subject to reimbursement by the Trust of Mallinckrodt’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (provided, however, that such notice and reimbursements obligations of the Opioid Trust shall be on terms no less favorable to the Opioid Trust than any such obligations of any other shareholder of the Reorganized Debtors with similar rights), reasonably cooperate in good faith with any private sale by the Opioid Trust of the New Opioid Warrants or any shares received as a result of the exercise of the New Opioid Warrants.

Channeling Injunction    The Plan and the Confirmation Order will contain (i) a release by holders of Opioid Claims and (ii) an injunction channeling all Opioid Claims against the Protected Parties to the Opioid Trust, in each case, substantially on the terms set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto.
   In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan and Confirmation Order will also provide for customary releases by the Company and by other holders of claims and interests, exculpation provisions, and related injunctive provisions, in each case consistent with Annex 4 to the Restructuring Term Sheet.
Operating Injunction    The Company shall seek entry of an injunctive order to be effective on the Petition Date, defining the manner in which the Debtors’ opioid business may be lawfully operated by the Debtors or any successors thereto on a going-forward basis during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, on the terms set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto (the “Chapter 11 Operating Injunction”).
   The Confirmation Order (or a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court or another court of competent jurisdiction, if so agreed by the Company, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee) will extend the Chapter 11 Operating Injunction to govern the Reorganized Debtors’ operations after the Plan Effective Date (the “Post-Plan Effective Date Operating Injunction” together with the Chapter 11 Operating Injunction, the “Operating Injunctions”).
   The Operating Injunctions shall be acceptable to the Debtors and the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, and reasonably acceptable to the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders.

 

5


Assigned Claims Cooperation    During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors shall reasonably cooperate with counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee in connection with the investigation and preservation of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights, including by providing non-privileged information (including, without limitation, documents, emails and access to individuals with information), at the reasonable request of counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee. The Debtors shall, at the reasonable request of the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, inform counsel to the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group of the status and scope of any such cooperation.
   The Debtors shall use reasonable efforts to provide all readily available, non-privileged information relating to the Assigned Third- Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights to counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee during the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases; provided, however, that such information shall be provided prior to entry of the Confirmation Order.
   On and after the Plan Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Opioid Trust in connection with the Opioid Trust’s investigation, preservation and pursuit of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights. The terms and conditions of such cooperation shall be mutually agreed by the Debtors, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders and set forth in the Plan Supplement and included in the Confirmation Order. The Opioid Trust shall reimburse the Reorganized Debtors for their documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such reasonable cooperation from and after the Plan Effective Date.

18


B.

Information That May Be Redacted

 

  1.

The following categories of information are exempt from public disclosure:

 

  a.

Information subject to trade secret protection. A “trade secret” is information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process, that (a) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure and use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Even if the information falls within the definition, “trade secret” does not include information reflecting sales or promotional strategies, tactics, targeting, or data, or internal communications related to sales or promotion.

 

  b.

Confidential personal information. “Confidential personal information” means individual Social Security or tax identification numbers, personal financial account numbers, passport numbers, driver license numbers, home addresses, home telephone numbers, personal email addresses, and other personally identifiable information protected by law from disclosure. “Confidential personal information” does not include the names of Mallinckrodt’s officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys.

 

  c.

Information that is inappropriate for public disclosure because it is subject to personal privacy interests recognized by law (e.g., HIPAA), or contractual rights of third parties that Mallinckrodt may not abrogate.

 

  d.

Information regarding Mallinckrodt employees’ personal matters unrelated to Mallinckrodt, including emails produced by Mallinckrodt custodians discussing vacation or sick leave, family, or other personal matters.

 

C.

Redaction of Documents Containing Protected Information

 

  1.

Whenever a document contains information subject to a claim of exemption pursuant to Section V.B, Mallinckrodt shall produce the document in redacted form. Such redactions shall indicate that trade secret and/or private information, as appropriate, has been redacted. Redactions shall be limited to the minimum redactions possible to protect the legally recognized individual privacy interests and trade secrets identified above.

 

  2.

Mallinckrodt shall produce to each Settling State a log noting each document redacted. The log shall also provide fields stating the basis for redacting the document, with sufficient detail to allow an assessment of the merits of the assertion. The log is subject to public disclosure in perpetuity. The log shall be produced simultaneously with the production of documents required by Section V.F.

 

19


  3.

In addition to the redacted documents, Mallinckrodt shall, upon any Settling State’s request, also produce all documents identified in Section V.A above in unredacted form to such Settling State at the same time. The redacted documents produced by Mallinckrodt may be publicly disclosed in accordance with Section V.E below. The unredacted documents produced by Mallinckrodt to a Settling State shall be available only to such State unless Mallinckrodt’s claim of exemption under Section V.B is successfully challenged in accordance with Section V.C.4 or the trade secret designation expires in accordance with Section V.D.

 

  4.

Anyone, including members of the public and the press, may challenge the appropriateness of redactions by providing notice to Mallinckrodt. If the challenge is not resolved by agreement, it must be resolved in the first instance by a third party jointly appointed by the Settling States and Mallinckrodt to resolve such challenges. The decision of the third party may be appealed to a court with enforcement authority over this Agreement. If not so appealed, the third party’s decision is final. In connection with such challenge, a Settling State may provide copies of relevant unredacted documents to the parties or the decisionmaker, subject to appropriate confidentiality and/or in camera review protections, as determined by the decisionmaker.

 

D.

Review of Trade Secret Redactions

 

  1.

Ten years after Mallinckrodt completes the production of its documents in accordance with Section V, Mallinckrodt shall review all trade secret assertions made in accordance with Section V.B.1 and all non-manufacturing trade secret designations shall expire. The newly unredacted documents may then be publicly disclosed by a Settling State in accordance with Section V.E. Mallinckrodt shall produce to each Settling State an updated redaction log justifying its designations of the remaining trade secret redactions as manufacturing trade secrets.

 

E.

Public Disclosure through a Document Repository

 

  1.

Each Settling State may publicly disclose all documents covered by Section V through a public repository maintained by a governmental, non-profit, or academic institution. Each Settling State may specify the terms of any such repository’s use of those documents, including allowing the repository to index and make searchable all documents subject to public disclosure, including the metadata associated with those documents. When providing the documents covered by Section V to a public repository, no Settling State shall include or attach within the document set any characterization of the content of the documents. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit any Settling State from publicly discussing the documents covered by Section V.

 

20


F.

Timeline for Production

 

  1.

Mallinckrodt shall produce all documents required by Section V.A within nine months from the Petition Date.

  1.

Mallinckrodt’s obligation in Section V shall be suspended on the nine-month anniversary of the Petition Date, unless and until two corporate defendants in opioid-related litigation other than Mallinckrodt have agreed or been ordered to publicly disclose opioid-related documents. For the avoidance of doubt, Insys Therapeutics, Inc. shall constitute one of the two necessary defendants based on the “Liquidating Trustee Disclosure Requirement” provisions of the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on January 16, 2020.

VI. INDEPENDENT MONITOR

 

A.

Appointment of Monitor

 

  1.

Mallinckrodt agrees that it will retain an outside, independent individual (the “Monitor”) to evaluate and monitor Mallinckrodt’s compliance with this Agreement.

 

  2.

Experience with internal investigations or the investigative process (which may include prior monitorship or oversight experience) and expertise in the pharmaceutical industry, relevant regulatory regimes, and internal controls and compliance systems may be considered in selecting the Monitor.

 

  3.

Within 30 days of the Petition Date, Mallinckrodt and the Settling States shall exchange pools of recommended candidates based in part on the above qualification and considerations to serve as the Monitor. The pools shall each contain the names of three individuals, groups of individuals or firms.

 

  4.

After receiving the pools of Monitor candidates, Mallinckrodt and the Settling States shall have the right to meet with the candidates and conduct appropriate interviews of the personnel who are expected to work on the project. Mallinckrodt and the Settling States may veto any of the candidates, and must do so in writing within 30 days of receiving the pool of candidates. If all three candidates within a pool are rejected by either Mallinckrodt or the Monitor States, the party who rejected the three candidates may direct the other party to provide up to three additional qualified candidates within 15 days of receipt of said notice.

 

21


  5.

If Mallinckrodt or the Settling States do not object to a proposed candidate, Mallinckrodt or the Settling States shall so notify the other in writing within 30 days of receiving the pool of candidates. If more than one candidate remains, the Settling States shall select the Monitor from the remaining candidates. Mallinckrodt and the Settling States shall jointly seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the selected Monitor candidate.

Justifiable cause shall not include Mallinckrodt’s or the Settling States’ disagreements with the decisions of the Monitor pursuant to this Agreement, unless there is a clear pattern in the Monitor’s decisions that demonstrates that the Monitor has not been acting as an independent third party in rendering decisions.

Exhibit 99.1

Mallinckrodt Secures Broad Consensus with Key Stakeholders on

Comprehensive Chapter 11 Restructuring

Enters a Restructuring Support Agreement with Guaranteed Unsecured Noteholders and Certain Governmental Opioid Plaintiffs, Including 50 States and Territories, and a Court-Appointed Plaintiff’s Executive Committee Representing the Interests of Thousands of Opioid Plaintiffs; Includes Support for an Agreement in Principle to Resolve Various Acthar® Gel-Related Matters

Proposed Capital Structure Modifications Would Reduce Total Debt by Approximately $1.3 Billion

Achieves Broadly Supported Global Settlement That Would Resolve Opioid-Related Claims Against the Company and its Subsidiaries

Mallinckrodt plc and the Majority of its Subsidiaries, Including its Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics Entities, File Voluntary Chapter 11 Petitions to Implement the RSA and Key Legal Settlements

All Mallinckrodt Businesses Are Continuing to Operate and Supply Products to Customers and Patients as Normal

Cash on Hand and Cash Generated from Ongoing Operations Expected to Provide Ample Liquidity to Support Operations During Court-Supervised Process

Company Remains Focused on Developing New Therapies, Improving Patient Health Outcomes and Supporting Underserved Patients with Severe and Critical Conditions

DUBLIN, Ireland, October 12, 2020 – Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK) (“Mallinckrodt” or the “Company”) today announced that it has voluntarily initiated Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to modify its capital structure, including restructuring portions of its debt, and resolve several billion dollars of otherwise unmanageable potential legal liabilities. Mallinckrodt and all of its subsidiaries are continuing to operate and supply customers and patients with products as normal.

The entities that filed Chapter 11 petitions include Mallinckrodt plc, substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries, including its specialty generics-focused subsidiaries (collectively, “Specialty Generics”) and specialty brands-related subsidiaries (collectively, “Specialty Brands”), and certain of its international subsidiaries.

The Company intends to use the Chapter 11 process to provide a fair, orderly, efficient and legally binding mechanism to implement a restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) that, among other things, provides for an amended proposed opioid claims settlement and a financial restructuring that would:

 

   

Reduce the Company’s total debt by approximately $1.3 billion, improving the Company’s financial position and better positioning it for long-term growth;

 

   

Resolve opioid-related claims against the Company, its subsidiaries and related entities; and

 

   

Resolve various Acthar Gel-related matters, including the CMS Medicaid rebate dispute, an associated False Claims Act (“FCA”) lawsuit and an FCA lawsuit relating to Acthar’s previous owner’s interactions with an independent charitable foundation.

Taken together, these actions are intended to enable the Company to move forward with its vision to become an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company meeting the needs of underserved patients with severe and critical conditions.

Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mallinckrodt, said, “After many months of deliberation, negotiation and consideration of alternatives, Mallinckrodt’s management and Board of Directors determined that implementing a Chapter 11 restructuring provides the best opportunity to maximize the value of the enterprise and position the Company for the future in light of the current challenges it faces. The actions we are taking are an important step forward for Mallinckrodt and our patients, employees, customers, suppliers and other partners. We have worked diligently over the last


several months to evaluate all available options to achieve a comprehensive resolution to the significant litigation and debt issues overhanging our business. Having entered our restructuring support agreement and reached agreements in principle with a key group of opioid plaintiffs, other governmental parties and our guaranteed unsecured noteholders, we are beginning this process in a highly organized manner. We are now on a clear path to eliminating legal uncertainties, maximizing enterprise value, strengthening our balance sheet and moving ahead with our strategic plans. At the same time, we remain committed to improving health outcomes and developing and bringing to market therapies for patients with severe and critical conditions.”

Trudeau continued, “We are grateful to our employees for their continued commitment to our customers and the patients we serve. We also thank our suppliers and business partners for their support as we continue working together to improve the lives of patients.”

Overview of Key RSA Terms

In connection with the Chapter 11 filing, the Company has entered into an RSA that provides for a financial restructuring designed to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and reduce its total debt by approximately $1.3 billion, improving the Company’s financial position and allowing the Company to continue driving its strategic priorities and investing in the business to develop and commercialize therapies to improve health outcomes.

Parties to the RSA include:

 

   

Holders of approximately 84% of the Company’s guaranteed unsecured notes;

 

   

50 states and territories; and

 

   

The court-appointed plaintiffs’ executive committee representing the interests of thousands of plaintiffs in the opioid multidistrict litigation1 (“Opioid MDL”), which has agreed to recommend that the more than 1,000 counties, municipalities (including cities, towns and villages), Native American tribes and other opioid claimants in the Opioid MDL support the RSA.

Under the terms of the RSA, at the end of the court-supervised process:

 

   

All allowed First Lien Credit Agreement Claims, First Lien Note Claims and Second Lien Note Claims are expected to be reinstated at existing rates and maturities;

 

   

Holders of allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Note Claims are expected to receive their pro rata share of $375 million of new secured second lien notes due seven years after emergence and 100% of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, subject to dilution by the warrants described below and certain other equity;

 

   

Trade creditors and holders of allowed General Unsecured Claims are expected to share in $150 million in cash; and

 

   

Equity holders and non-guaranteed unsecured noteholders are expected to receive no recovery.

Amended Proposed Opioid Settlement

The Company has reached an agreement in principle on the terms of an amended proposed settlement that would resolve opioid-related claims against Mallinckrodt and its subsidiaries and eliminate billions of dollars in alleged liabilities. The amended proposed settlement is supported by a broad array of opioid plaintiffs as detailed above.

Under the terms of the amended proposed settlement, which would become effective upon Mallinckrodt’s emergence from the Chapter 11 process, subject to court approval and other conditions:

 

   

Opioid claims would be channeled to one or more trusts, which would receive $1.6 billion in structured payments.

 

   

$450 million would be received upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11;

 

1 

Captioned In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, Case No. 17-md-2804 (N.D. Ohio).


   

$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 seventh anniversaries of emergence with a one-year prepayment option at a discount for all but the first payment.

 

   

Opioid claimants would also receive warrants for approximately 19.99% of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding shares, including after giving effect to the exercise of the warrants, exercisable at a strike price reflecting an aggregate equity value of $1.551 billion.

 

   

Upon commencing the Chapter 11 filing, the Company will comply with an agreed-upon operating injunction with respect to the operation of its opioid business.

Copies of term sheets outlining the terms of the RSA and the amended opioid settlement, as well as materials with additional information relating to the Company and its Chapter 11 filing, are available on www.advancingmnk.com. The term sheets and additional materials are expected be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission tomorrow.

Resolution of Certain Acthar Gel-Related Matters

Mallinckrodt has reached an agreement in principle with certain governmental parties to resolve certain disputes relating to Acthar Gel. The agreement in principle is conditioned upon Mallinckrodt entering the Chapter 11 restructuring process. The Company has agreed to pay $260 million over seven years and reset Acthar Gel’s Medicaid rebate calculation as of July 1, 2020, such that state Medicaid programs will receive 100% rebates on Acthar Gel Medicaid sales, based on current Acthar Gel pricing. Additionally, upon execution of the settlement, the Company will dismiss its appeal of the CMS Medicaid rebate ruling currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The settlement would resolve the CMS Medicaid rebate dispute, the associated FCA lawsuit in Boston and an FCA lawsuit in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania relating to Acthar’s previous owner’s interactions with an independent charitable foundation.

Mallinckrodt expects to complete the settlement over the next several months, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

Continuing to Serve Patients and Customers as Normal

The current consolidated cash balance of the Chapter 11 filing entities is more than $650 million. Together with cash generated from ongoing operations, this is expected to provide ample liquidity to support continued operations during the court-supervised process.

The Company has filed a number of customary motions seeking court authorization to continue to support its business operations during the court-supervised process, including the continued payment of employee wages and benefits without interruption. The Company intends to pay vendors and suppliers in full under normal terms for goods received and services rendered on or after the filing date. The Company expects to receive court approval for all of these routine requests. The Company’s foreign non-debtor affiliates will continue to operate their businesses in the ordinary course.

Separating the Specialty Generics and Specialty Brands businesses remains one of Mallinckrodt’s goals. The Company will continue to evaluate strategic options for the Specialty Generics business at an appropriate time and when market conditions are favorable.

Litigation Environment The recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. to deny a temporary injunction against CMS will lead to $650 million of retroactive cash payments expected to be due in September or October 2020 Recently, the Company has reached a settlement in principle with CMS / DOJ which would provide $260 million in structured cash payments over 7 years to satisfy potential CMS / DOJ claims Opioid settlement requiring $1.6 billion in structured payments needs to be reaffirmed The Company continues to negotiate on potential modifications of a settlement with the Opioid Plaintiffs that would be acceptable to its creditor constituencies Potential settlement with private Opioid Plaintiffs not yet reached and discussions remain ongoing The Company also faces other lawsuits related to Acthar, payments to charitable foundations, shareholder litigation and various other matters 1 The Company continues to face significant litigation risks, and the ability to reach a settlement with CMS / DOJ as well as the Opioid Plaintiffs remains critical for a pathway forward

6. Overview of Intercompany Considerations


Slide 32

Introduction Mallinckrodt plc and its subsidiaries operate a complex global business within an optimized multinational legal entity structure (the “Legal Entity Structure”) The Legal Entity Structure was developed to conduct business, control risks, and manage tax liabilities arising from the manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceuticals through the Company’s Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics business segments Intercompany transactions are governed by distribution agreements (primarily for cross-border activities), service agreements, Cash Management Agreements (“CMA”), and loan documents Transfer pricing used for product transfers, services, loan interest, and intellectual property royalties is governed by tax law arms-length standards and complies with debt document requirements for arms-length transactions Any transfer pricing used is monitored and documented regularly The Company records each intercompany transaction and its accounting records reflect the amounts due between the various global legal entities Intercompany transactions are settled either by book entry and / or through a transfer of cash through the Company’s cash pools Indebtedness owed by loan parties to non-loan parties is subordinated to the extent required by the credit documents In connection with the restructuring term sheet, the Company discussed with advisors to the steering committee of the ad hoc group of unsecured noteholders historic and ongoing intercompany relationships and activity. To the extent based on public information, the Company also discussed such relationships and activity with the members of the steering committee. Any issues considered are now subsumed within the restructuring term sheet

Intercompany Overview Mallinckrodt engages in three types of intercompany activities which are summarized below and in additional detail on the following slides Intercompany Trade Includes the sale and purchase of goods between entities, payment for management & corporate services, royalties, research & development, and marketing services Intercompany trade activity is governed by intercompany distribution, service, and license agreements         Intercompany Cash Management Cash is managed globally through four primary cash pooling entities in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions and all activity is governed by cash management agreements There are various foreign entities that manage cash on a standalone basis and do not participate with a cash pool Before November 2019, domestic Brands and Generics entities were participants in the same U.S. cash pool. In November 2019, new cash accounts were established under a domestic Generics entity, which manages cash flows for the domestic Generics entities In July 2020, a new U.S. Brands only cash pool was created Intercompany cash management for each cash pool is governed by Cash Management Agreements with the respective legal entity participants         Intercompany Loans Originate from acquisition or financing activities, movement of intellectual property or other assets, and other related activity Intercompany loans are governed by Intercompany Note Agreements 1 2 3


Slide 35

Intercompany Trade Overview Intercompany trade activities include the following types of transactions: Intercompany invoice flows: The Specialty Brands segment utilizes a limited risk distributor structure in which the Limited Risk Distributor (“LRD” or “LRDs”) entities market and distribute branded products under a limited risk distributor agreement. All intercompany trade purchases are governed by these Intercompany Distribution Agreements Specialty Generics’ domestic operating activities, both manufacturing and distribution, are contained within the domestic Generics entities. For Specialty Generics’ international business, Generics’ Limited Risk Distributor entities market and distribute products in Canada, UK, and Europe under Intercompany Distribution Agreements Intercompany cost allocations for Specialty Brands: Direct employee costs: Brands employees are employed by a corporate shared service entity. This shared service entity charges these employee costs directly to the Brands entities based on the employee’s functional area, such as a LRDs’ sales team Management & corporate services: On a quarterly basis, the shared service entity charges a management & corporate service fee allocated to both Brands and Specialty Generics entities based on corporate overhead costs incurred for the following services: IT, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Legal and other corporate overhead costs 1


Slide 36

Intercompany Trade Overview (cont.) Royalties: Royalties, in consideration of the Intellectual Property used, are charged under a royalty license agreement between the licensor (“IP Licensor”) and licensee (“IP Licensee”) Research & Development (R&D): Various LRD entities engage in R&D projects and costs are charged to the IP Licensee. These services are governed by R&D Service Agreements between the respective entities. In addition to these R&D costs, there is also R&D incurred at the shared service entity that is charged through the quarterly management fee Intercompany cost allocations for Specialty Generics: Employee costs: Specialty Generics’ employees are employees of a domestic Generics entities and payroll is funded by the domestic Generics cash pool. Employee benefits and 401(k) costs are managed and paid by a Brands entity and reimbursed by Specialty Generics on a monthly basis Management & corporate services: On a quarterly basis, the shared service entity charges a management & corporate service fee allocated to both Brands and Specialty Generics entities based on corporate overhead costs incurred for the following services: IT, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Legal and other corporate overhead costs. Limited shared services are provided by Generics to Brands entities 1

Slide 38

Simplified Intercompany Activity Flows Overview The Specialty Brands segment utilizes an LRD structure under which the Manufacturer retains most of the economic value from manufacturing and distribution activities. The profits earned are used to pay a royalty to IP Licensor through a royalty license agreement. The Specialty Generics segment operates a simplified legal structure utilizing only LRD entities for foreign distribution. Manufacturing and domestic distribution activities are conducted out of the primary operating entity (not depicted). No Flow Description 1 The Brands Manufacturer (“Manufacturer”) utilizes third-party manufacturers to produce Ofirmev, Therakos, and Acthar under manufacturing agreements as well as an internal manufacturer to produce Inomax under a cost-plus agreement. 2 Domestic Limited Risk Distributors market and distribute products in the US for the Manufacturer under a limited risk distributor agreement in which the LRDs earn a margin on sales. (International sales are distributed through separate foreign LRD entities). The LRD entities will perform R&D services on behalf of the Manufacturer under R&D intercompany agreements. The LRD entities will collect on their receivables from their customers and deposit the funds with the cash pool. The LRD entities will also withdraw funds from the cash pool to make payments to external vendors or direct the cash pool to settle intercompany obligations (not depicted). 3 The profits from the manufacturing and distribution activity of the limited risk entities are used to pay royalties to the IP Licensor through a royalty license agreement, whereby the Manufacturer’s net profit as compensation for commercialization and manufacturing activities are equal to cost-plus for certain strategic costs. 4 The IP Licensor is licensed to use the intellectual property owned by the IP Holding Companies through a royalty-free license agreement (no transfer of economic value). 5 Management & corporate services costs are allocated and charged by the corporate services entity to Brands & Generics entities. The fees are allocated and charged based upon established methodologies using cost centers across segments such as IT, Marketing, Employees & Human Resources, Finance, Internal Legal, and other corporate overhead. LRD Entities (US & OUS) IP Holding Companies IP Licensor IP Licensee / Brands Manufacturer Shared Service Entity Customers Vendors Use of IP through Royalty-Free License Agreement Use of IP through Residual Royalty Agreement Market & Distribute under an LRD Agreement Vendors & Employees Vendors R&D allocated under Cost Plus Agreement 2 2 1 3 4 Brands & Generics MNK Entities Allocated Management & Corporate Services 5 Manufacturing Agreements
