Counsel to the Debtors and Debtors in Possession

Dated: June 18, 2021

 

 

1 

A complete list of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases may be obtained on the website of the Debtors’ claims and noticing agent at http://restructuring.primeclerk.com/Mallinckrodt. The Debtors’ mailing address is 675 McDonnell Blvd., Hazelwood, Missouri 63042.


 

THE VOTING DEADLINE IS 4:00 P.M. PREVAILING EASTERN TIME

ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 (UNLESS THE DEBTORS EXTEND THE VOTING DEADLINE).

 

FOR YOUR VOTE TO BE COUNTED, YOU MUST RETURN YOUR PROPERLY COMPLETED BALLOT TO THE NOTICE AND CLAIMS AGENT OR YOUR NOMINEE, AS APPLICABLE, SO THAT YOUR BALLOT, NOTES MASTER BALLOT, OR NON-NOTES MASTER BALLOT, AS APPLICABLE, IS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE NOTICE AND CLAIMS AGENT, PRIME CLERK LLC BEFORE THE VOTING DEADLINE.

 

EACH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED BALLOTS CONTAIN DETAILED VOTING INSTRUCTIONS AND SETS FORTH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE DEADLINES, PROCEDURES, AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN, AND THE APPLICABLE STANDARDS FOR TABULATING BALLOTS.

 

RECOMMENDATION BY THE DEBTORS AND RELATED SUPPORT

 

The Debtors believe that the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors’ creditors and other stakeholders. All creditors entitled to vote on the Plan are urged to vote in favor of the Plan.

 

The Board of Directors of Mallinckrodt plc and the board of directors or managers, members, or partners, as applicable, of each of its affiliated Debtors have unanimously approved the transactions contemplated by the Plan and recommend that all creditors whose votes are being solicited submit ballots to accept the Plan.

 

The Supporting Term Lenders, who, together with other Supporting Parties, hold approximately 70% in principal amount of the Debtors’ First Lien Term Loan Claims, support the Plan.

 

Fifty (50) U.S. States and Territories and the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in the Multi-District Litigation, including the members of the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, that each maintain or represent Opioid Claims against certain of the Debtors, support the Plan.

 

The MSGE Group, representing 1,318 entities that maintain Opioid Claims against certain of the Debtors, including 1,245 counties, cities and other municipal entities, 9 tribal nations, 13 hospital districts, 16 independent public school districts, 33 medical groups, and 2 funds, supports the Plan.

 

The Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, who, together with the other Supporting Parties hold approximately 84% in principal amount of the Debtors’ Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims, supports the Plan.2

 

 

2 

Without limitation of the rights under the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee’s support for the Plan is conditioned upon, among other things, a resolution acceptable to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee with respect to the following issues: (1) the treatment of the U.S. Government Opioid Claims; (2) Additional Insurance Rights; and (3) all other open items in the Plan, including the forms of the Definitive Documents.

OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF UNSECURED CREDITORS PLAN POSITION

 

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “UCC”) does NOT support the Debtors’ Plan. A full explanation of the UCC’s position on the Plan is set forth in its cover letter, which is included in the Debtors’ solicitation materials and can be accessed by going to https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/mallinckrodt/ and selecting “UCC Letter” in the “Quick Links” menu on the left side of the webpage.

 

OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF OPIOID-RELATED CLAIMANTS

 

The Official Committee of Opioid-Related Claimants (the “OCC”) has not yet completed its investigation regarding the sufficiency of the aggregate value being provided to Opioid Claimants under the Plan. Therefore, the OCC is not yet in a position to recommend that Opioid Claimants vote to either accept or reject the Plan. The OCC is continuing to do its work, and at the appropriate time, will file a supplemental letter (or statement) on the Court’s docket setting forth its final position. In addition, although the Plan sets forth the aggregate allocations being made available to categories of Opioid Claimants, there is no information publicly available yet that explains the rules of how such value will be allocated to individual claimants within each category. These rules – called trust distribution procedures (or “TDP’s”) - will be made available the earlier of (a) 30 days from entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (b) July 21, 2021. The OCC encourages Opioid Claimants not to vote on the Plan until such time as (1) the OCC discloses its final position, and (2) the TDP’s are made available for Opioid Claimants, at which point claimants will be able to make a more informed decision on the Plan. At this point, the OCC urges Opioid Claimants to review the Plan and Disclosure Statement currently on file, as well as the OCC’s Position Letter, but not to make a voting decision until these other two critical pieces of information are available. Given the Voting Deadline of September 3, 2021, Opioid Claimants have ample time to wait for both of these pieces of critical additional information prior to casting their votes. A full explanation of the OCC’s position regarding these Chapter 11 Cases, including the work it has done to date, is set forth in the OCC’s Position Letter, which is included in the Debtors’ solicitation materials and can be accessed at https://cases.primeclerk.com/MallinckrodtOpioidClaimantInfo/ and https://www.restructuring.primeclerk.com/Mallinckrodt.

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO READ

Mallinckrodt plc and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”), are providing you with the information in this Disclosure Statement because you may be a creditor of the Debtors and may be entitled to vote on the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt plc and Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (including all exhibits and schedules thereto, and as maybe amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”). A draft of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the definition given to them in the Plan; to the extent that a definition of a term in the text of this Disclosure Statement and the definition of such term in the Plan are inconsistent, the definition included in the Plan shall control and govern.

 

 

iii


ALL CREDITORS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THIS ENTIRE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, INCLUDING THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE IX BELOW, THE PLAN ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A, AND THE PLAN SUPPLEMENT BEFORE SUBMITTING BALLOTS IN RESPONSE TO SOLICITATION OF THE PLAN.

HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS SHOULD NOT CONSTRUE THE CONTENTS OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AS PROVIDING ANY LEGAL, BUSINESS, FINANCIAL, OR TAX ADVICE AND SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN ADVISORS BEFORE VOTING ON THE PLAN.

The voting deadline to accept or reject the Plan is 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 3, 2021, unless extended by the Debtors (the “Voting Deadline”).

To be counted, your Ballot, Notes Master Ballot, or Non-Notes Master Ballot, as applicable, must be properly completed and returned to the Notice and Claims Agent, Prime Clerk LLC, in accordance with the voting instructions on such Ballot and actually received by the Notice and Claims Agent, via regular mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery at the appropriate address, via email, or via the Notice and Claims Agent’s ballot upload site, by the Voting Deadline.

A summary of the voting instructions is set forth in Section I.E of this Disclosure Statement and the Disclosure Statement Order [Docket No. 2911]. More detailed instructions are also contained in the Ballots distributed to the creditors entitled to vote on the Plan.

This Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, any opioid trust documents, and any attachments, exhibits, supplements and annexes hereto are the only documents to be used in connection with the solicitation of votes on the Plan, and also may not be relied upon for any purpose other than to determine how to vote on the Plan (except with respect to any Plan Supplement documents that may be relied upon for purposes other than to determine how to vote on the Plan). Neither the Bankruptcy Court nor the Debtors have authorized any person to give any information or to make any representation in connection with the Plan or the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan other than as contained in this Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, and any attachments, exhibits, supplements or annexes attached hereto. If given or made, such information or representation may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or the Debtors. The delivery of this Disclosure Statement will not under any circumstances represent that the information herein is correct as of any time after the date hereof.

This Disclosure Statement shall not constitute an offer to sell, or solicitation of an offer to buy, nor will there be any distribution of, any of the securities described herein until the Effective Date of the Plan.

The summaries of the Plan and other documents contained in this Disclosure Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan itself, the exhibits thereto that will be included in the Plan Supplement, and documents described therein as filed prior to approval of this Disclosure Statement or subsequently as part of the Plan Supplement. In the event that any inconsistency or conflict exists between this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, or between the Plan Supplement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Except as otherwise indicated herein or in the Plan, the Debtors will file all Plan Supplement documents with the Bankruptcy Court and make them available for review at the Debtors’ document website located online at https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/mallinckrodt no later than August 6, 2021 (i.e., twenty-eight days before the Voting Deadline). The Debtors will file the various trust distribution procedures (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) with respect to the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts with the Bankruptcy Court on the earlier of (a) 30 days from entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (b) July 21, 2021.

 

 

iv


This Disclosure Statement contains, among other things, descriptions and summaries of provisions of the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan consistent with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, subject to the terms of the Plan. The statements contained in this Disclosure Statement are made only as of the date of this Disclosure Statement, and there can be no assurance that the statements contained herein will be correct at any time after this date. The information contained in this Disclosure Statement, including the information regarding the history, businesses and operations of the Debtors, the financial information regarding the Debtors and the liquidation analyses relating to the Debtors, is included for purposes of soliciting acceptances of the Plan, but, as to contested matters and adversary proceedings, is not to be construed as an admission or stipulation, but rather as a statement made in settlement negotiations as part of the Debtors’ attempt to settle and resolve claims and controversies pursuant to the Plan. This Disclosure Statement will not be admissible in any non- bankruptcy proceeding, nor will it be construed to be conclusive advice on the tax, securities, or other legal effects of the Plan as to Holders of Claims against, or Interests in, either the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. Except where specifically noted, the financial information contained in this Disclosure Statement and in its exhibits has not been audited by a certified public accountant and has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The Debtors believe that the solicitation of votes on the Plan made in connection with this Disclosure Statement, and the offer of certain new securities that may be deemed to be made pursuant to the solicitation of votes on the Plan, are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and related state statutes by reason of the exemption provided by section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and expect that the offer and issuance of the securities under the Plan will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and related state statutes by reason of the applicability of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The effectiveness of the Plan is subject to material conditions precedent. See Article V.H below and Article VIII of the Plan. There is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or waived.

If the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the Effective Date occurs, all Holders of Claims against, and Equity Interests in, the Debtors (including without limitation those Holders who do not submit Ballots to accept or reject the Plan or who are not entitled to vote on the Plan, but excluding holders who are entitled to, and do, opt out), will be bound the by the terms of the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the third-party releases contained therein.

IMPORTANT NOTICES REGARDING THIRD-PARTY RELEASES BY HOLDERS OF

EQUITY INTERESTS AND CLAIMS OTHER THAN OPIOID CLAIMS

If you are a Holder of a Claim other than for Opioid Claimants, you may be deemed to be granting releases to third parties under the Plan. Specifically, pursuant to Article IX.C of the Plan, each Holder of a Claim other than Opioid Claimants are deemed to grant a third-party release if (a) such Holder votes to accept the Plan, (b) such Holder is Unimpaired under the Plan, (c) such Holder whose vote to accept or reject the Plan is solicited (i) abstains from voting on the Plan and (ii) does not opt out of granting the releases set forth in the Plan, (d) such Holder votes, or is deemed, to reject the Plan but does not opt out of granting the releases set forth in the Plan, and (e) to the maximum extent otherwise permitted by law. This release is discussed further in Article V.I of this Disclosure Statement. Instructions for opting out of the third-party releases are set forth in the Solicitation Package distributed in connection with this Disclosure Statement.

 

v


IMPORTANT NOTICES REGARDING RELEASES OF OPIOID CLAIMS

If you are an Opioid Claimant, you will be deemed to be granting releases to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and certain third parties referred to as Protected Parties under the Plan with respect to such Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands). Pursuant to Article IX.D of the Plan, as of the Effective Date, each Opioid Claimant (in its capacity as such) will be deemed to have released and discharged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as such law may be extended subsequent to the Effective Date, each Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and Protected Party from any and all Claims (including Opioid Claims and Opioid Demands).

Further, pursuant to Article IX.G of the Plan, from and after the Effective Date, the sole recourse of any Opioid Claimant on account of its Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) based upon or arising from the Debtors’ pre-confirmation conduct or activities shall be to the Opioid MDT II or the Opioid Creditor Trusts, and such Opioid Claimant shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert its Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) against any Protected Party or any property or interest in property of any Protected Party.

Each Opioid Claim shall be resolved solely in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the Opioid MDT II Documents or the Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable, and shall receive a recovery, if any, from the Opioid MDT II or Opioid Creditor Trusts, as applicable, and solely in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents or the Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable. The Opioid MDT II Documents or Opioid Creditor Trust Documents are binding on the Holders of all Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands). The various trust distribution procedures (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) with respect to the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the earlier of (a) 30 days from entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (b) July 21, 2021.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware submit this Disclosure Statement, pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, in connection with the solicitation of votes on the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt plc and Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code dated June 17, 2021. A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Prior to soliciting votes on a proposed plan of reorganization, section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code requires debtors to prepare a disclosure statement containing information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, to enable a hypothetical reasonable investor to make an informed judgment regarding acceptance or rejection of the plan of reorganization. As such, this Disclosure Statement is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

This Executive Summary is being provided as an overview of the material items addressed in this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, which is qualified by reference to the entire Disclosure Statement and by the actual terms of the Plan (and including all exhibits attached hereto and to the Plan), and should not be relied upon for a comprehensive discussion of this Disclosure Statement and/or the Plan.

This Disclosure Statement includes, without limitation, information about:

 

   

the Debtors’ prepetition operating and financial history;

 

   

the events leading up to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases;

 

   

the significant events that have occurred during the Chapter 11 Cases;

 

   

the solicitation procedures for voting on the Plan;

 

   

the Confirmation process and the voting procedures that Holders of Claims who are entitled to vote on the Plan must follow for their votes to be counted;

 

   

the terms and provisions of the Plan, certain effects of confirmation of the Plan, and the manner in which distributions will be made under the Plan;

 

   

certain risk factors relating to the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and confirmation of the Plan; and

 

   

the proposed organization, operations and financing of the Reorganized Debtors if the Plan is confirmed and becomes effective.

 

  A.

Purpose and Effect of the Plan

1. Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

The Debtors are reorganizing pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, which is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, the confirmation of the Plan means that the Reorganized Debtors will continue to operate their businesses going forward and does not mean that the Debtors will be liquidated or forced to go out of business.

 

 

1


A bankruptcy court’s confirmation of a plan binds the debtors, any entity acquiring property under the plan, any holder of a claim or equity interest in the debtors, and all other entities as may be ordered by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to the terms and conditions of the confirmed plan, whether or not such entity voted on the particular plan or affirmatively voted to reject the plan.

2. Restructurings Under the Plan

The Plan contemplates that on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors may, consistent with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, take all actions as may be necessary to effectuate the Plan, including:

 

   

the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of sale, merger, consolidation, or reorganization containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law;

 

   

the creation of a NewCo and/or any NewCo Subsidiaries (if any) that may, at the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ option in consultation with the Supporting Parties, acquire all or substantially all the assets of one or more of the Debtors;

 

   

the execution and delivery of an equity and asset transfer agreement (if applicable) and any other appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan;

 

   

the creation of certain opioid trusts where all Opioid Claims will be channeled to in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable trust documents (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time), which will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the earlier of (a) 30 days from entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (b) July 21, 2021.

 

   

the filing of appropriate certificates of incorporation, merger, migration, consolidation, or other organizational documents with the appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to applicable law; and

 

   

all other actions that the Reorganized Debtors determine are necessary or appropriate.

The Plan further contemplates the treatment of Allowed Claims and Interests as set forth in the below table of “Summary Of Expected Recoveries”.

With respect to implementing the Restructuring Transactions under the Plan, the Debtors intend to disclose the precise steps to be taken in the Restructuring Transactions in the Plan Supplement and will make those transactions public with sufficient time for all voting creditors to consider them before submitting their Ballots.

3. The General Unsecured Claims Cash or Equity Preference Indication

The Plan provides that Holders of General Unsecured Claims are entitled to indicate their preference, via a duly-submitted Ballot, to receive New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares as a portion of their distribution under the Plan. The proportion of the distributions made to such Holders in the form of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will be equal to the proportion of the Ballots submitted by Holders of General Unsecured Claims indicating the requisite election, calculated using the amount of General Unsecured Claims attributed to each such Ballot for purposes of voting on the Plan under the Disclosure Statement Order.

B. Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests Under the Plan

The following table provides a summary of the classification and treatment of Claims and Equity Interests and the potential distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests under the Plan.

THE PROJECTED RECOVERIES SET FORTH IN THE TABLE BELOW ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND THEREFORE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, INCLUDING BASED ON THE LIQUIDATION OF CLAIMS CURRENTLY ASSERTED AS UNLIQUIDATED. FOR A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBTORS’ CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS, REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE ENTIRE PLAN AND THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE IX BELOW. THE TABLE IS INTENDED FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A REVIEW OF THE PLAN AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY. FOR CERTAIN CLASSES OF CLAIMS, THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS COULD BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNTS SHOWN IN THE TABLE BELOW.

FOR HOLDERS OF APPLICABLE GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIMS IN EACH OF CLASSES 6(A)-(F), THE FOLLOWING RECOVERY RANGES TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION CONTINGENT CLAIMS THAT ARE EITHER ALLOWED IN FULL OR DISALLOWED IN FULL. THESE CATEGORIES OF CONTINGENT CLAIMS ARE DESCRIBED FURTHER IN ARTICLE IV.U BELOW. EACH CREDITOR REVIEWING THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SHOULD REVIEW ARTICLE IV.U BELOW CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF CONTINGENT LITIGATION CLAIMS ON THEIR RESPECTIVE DISTRIBUTIONS.

Based on the Debtors’ diligence and analysis prepared in early Q1 2021, the Debtors believe Holders of Trade Claims and General Unsecured Claims in Classes 6 and 7, respectively, in the aggregate, would be entitled to approximately $34 million, as a midpoint, in the absence of any of the settlements embodied in the Restructuring Support Agreement and in a strict application of the absolute priority rule under the Bankruptcy Code, applied entity-by-entity among all the Debtors and Non-Debtor Affiliates. Moreover, such Holders would recover less than $7 million in the aggregate in a chapter 7 liquidation, as demonstrated in the Debtors’ Liquidation Analysis attached to this Disclosure Statement. Accordingly, the Debtors believe the Plan provides such creditors with multiples more than their entitlements by making available $150 million for these claimants. The Debtors will substantiate these creditors’ entitlements in connection with the Confirmation Hearing.

Further, to calculate the General Unsecured Claims Total Implied Equity Valuation, the Debtors used the same process by which they determined creditors’ relative entitlements, which shows General Unsecured Creditors and Trade Claimants are entitled to approximately $ 34 million in a strict application of the absolute priority rule. The Debtors used this analysis to determine the distributable value for the Reorganized Debtors at which General Unsecured Creditors (not including Trade Claimants) would be entitled to approximately $100 million. That implied distributable value was then used to calculate the General Unsecured Claims Total Implied Equity Valuation.

The Plan is based on the Debtors’ conclusion that the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes have a structurally senior position to the vast majority of General Unsecured Claims, due to the guarantees that support the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes from, among other Debtors, the Debtors that owned substantially all of the Specialty Brands’ intellectual property as of the Petition Date. The Debtors expect a limited number and amount of General Unsecured Claims to be Allowed against these entities. In addition, holders of First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims, 2024 First Lien Term Loan Claims, 2025 First Lien Term Loan Claims, First Lien Notes Claims, and Second Lien Notes Claims have Secured Claims against such Debtors, among others.

 

3


The Plan provides that distributions to creditors with Claims in Classes 6(a)-6(f) will be made pro rata and on a consolidated basis from all Debtors among all such creditors, regardless of against which Debtor the Claim is asserted, except that non-ratable distributions may be necessary and be made to satisfy applicable requirements under the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of Claims in Classes 6(a)-6(f) should be aware that if such distributions were made other than on a consolidated basis from all Debtors their respective recoveries could differ materially, either greater or lesser, depending on the Allowed amount of such Claims against each Debtor and the value available to General Unsecured Claims from each Debtor.

The following “Summary of Expected Recoveries” chart refers to the “Filed Amount”, which is the aggregate of all liquidated amounts asserted in filed Proofs of Claim, less any redundant Proofs of Claim filed by the same creditor(s) that assert(s) substantially identical disputed, unliquidated, or contingent Claims against multiple Debtors, plus any unmatched prepetition amounts reflected in the Debtors’ books and records as of the fiscal month ended April 23, 2021. The “Filed Amount” does not include any provision for Proofs of Claim as unliquidated and with no asserted amounts and settled claims to be exempted from the claims register. Further, for Classes 6(a)-(f), references below to the “scheduled amount” refers to the Debtors’ Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and reference to the “books and records amounts” means as of the fiscal month ended April 23, 2021.

The recovery rate of 28.4% for Settled Federal/State Acthar Claims in Class 10 is based on the fair value of the $260 million Acthar Settlement amount. The Acthar Settlement, in sum and substance, provides that the Debtors will make cash payments in eight installments, beginning on the Plan’s Effective Date and on each of the first seven anniversaries thereof, totaling $260 million, to the DOJ and various states; provided that the Federal/State Acthar Deferred Cash Payments shall bear interest at a variable rate equal to the nominal interest rate on special issues of government securities to the Social Security trust funds, measured as of each payment date and accruing from September 21, 2020. As set forth in the Financial Projections, the fair value reflects the post-emergence Federal/State Acthar Deferred Cash Payments of $170 million plus the Initial Federal/State Acthar Settlement Payment of $15 million, which equals a fair value of $185 million. That amounts to 28.4% of the $650 million civil judgment awarded to Holders of Settled Federal/State Acthar Claims.

Based on the foregoing, the Debtors are soliciting votes to accept the Plan only from Holders of Claims in Classes 2(b), 2(c), 3, 4, 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 (the “Voting Classes”), including by acting through a Voting Representative, because Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes are Impaired under the Plan and, therefore, have the right to vote to accept or reject the Plan. For purposes of determining acceptance and rejection of the Plan, each such Class (including each Class identified by a number and letter) will be regarded as a separate voting Class and votes will be tabulated on a Debtor-by-Debtor basis.

There are Voting Classes that are presumed to accept or entitled to vote on the Plan depending on their ultimate treatment under the Plan. Specifically, Class 2(b) is either (a) Impaired if receiving the New Takeback Term Loans, and Holders of 2024 First Lien Term Loan Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan or (b) Unimpaired if repaid in full in Cash, and Holders of 2024 First Lien Term Loans are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan. Class 2(c) is either (a) Impaired if receiving the New Takeback Term Loans, and Holders of 2025 First Lien Term Loan Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan or (b) Unimpaired if repaid in full in Cash, and Holders of 2025 First Lien Term Loans are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan.

Class 3 is either (i) Impaired, if receiving the Cram-Down First Lien Notes, and Holders of First Lien Notes Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, or (ii) Unimpaired either if the Allowed First Lien Notes Claims are Reinstated or if receiving Cash, and Holders of First Lien Notes Claims are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (and, therefore, Holders of First Lien Notes Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan).

Class 4 is either (i) Impaired, if receiving the Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, and Holders of Second Lien Notes Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, or (ii) Unimpaired either if the Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims are Reinstated or if receiving Cash, and Holders of Second Lien Notes Claims are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (and, therefore, Holders of Second Lien Notes Claims are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan).

Further, with respect to Class 7 Trade Claimants, the Trade Claimants are a subset of unsecured creditors with whom the Reorganized Debtors intend to continue doing business with post-confirmation. In sum and substance, Trade Claimants will receive a Ballot that includes the option to (a) accept the Plan and continue to provide consistent Favorable Trade Terms with the Reorganized Debtors and receive its pro rata share from the Trade Claim Cash Pool or (b) to reject the Plan and receive its pro rata share from the General Unsecured Claims Distribution.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Claim in Class 8(a)-(d) and Class 9(a)-(h) shall be accorded one (1) vote and valued at One Dollar ($1.00) for voting purposes only, and not for purposes of allowance or distribution, unless such Claim is disputed.

The Debtors are not soliciting votes on the Plan from (a) Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 1 and 2(a) because such parties are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan, (b) Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14 because such parties are conclusively presumed to have rejected the Plan, and (c) Claims and Interests in Classes 11 and 12 because such parties are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan or conclusively presumed to have rejected the Plan (collectively, the “Non-Voting Classes”). In lieu of a Solicitation Package, the Non-Voting Classes will receive a certain Notice of Non-Voting Status (as defined in the Disclosure Statement Order).

 

  4.

The Voting Record Date

The Bankruptcy Court has approved June 17, 2021, as the voting record date (the “Voting Record Date”) with respect to all Claims and Equity Interests other than Opioid Claims in Voting Classes 8(a)- (d) and 9(a)-(h) . The Voting Record Date is the date on which it will be determined: (a) which Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan and receive Solicitation Packages in

 

24


accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order and (b) which Holders of Claims and Equity Interests in the Non-Voting Classes are entitled to receive the Confirmation Hearing Notice, including notice of such Holder’s non-voting status, in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Voting Record Date shall not apply to Opioid Claimants in Voting Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h).

Distribution of the Solicitation Package to Holders of Claims Entitled to Vote on the Plan

With the assistance of the Notice and Claims Agent, the Debtors intend to distribute Solicitation Packages to the applicable parties (other than Holders of Opioid Claims) no later than Five (5) Business Days after entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and complete distribution as soon as reasonably practical thereafter (the Solicitation Mailing Date”). The Debtors submit that the timing of such distribution will provide such Holders of Claims and Interests with adequate time within which to review the materials required to allow such parties to make informed decisions with respect to voting on the Plan in accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 3017(d) and 2002(b). The Debtors will make every reasonable effort to ensure that Holders who have more than one Allowed Claim in the Voting Classes receive no more than one Solicitation Package. If a Holder holds Claims in more than one Class and is entitled to vote in more than one Class, such Holder will receive separate Ballots which must be used for each separate Class of Claims.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and subject to the Non-Notes Master Ballot Solicitation Procedures (as defined in the Solicitation Procedures attached as Attachment 1 to the Disclosure Statement Order)), all Holders of Opioid Claims in Voting Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall be entitled to obtain a Solicitation Package (with a Ballot) and vote on the Plan. All materials included in the Solicitation Package for Opioid Claimants shall be made available free of charge online at a dedicated opioid claimant webpage. The dedicated opioid claimant webpage shall contain an online portal(s) whereby Opioid Claimants may request (and immediately obtain) and submit a Ballot.

 

  7.

Distribution of Notices to Holders of Claims in Non-Voting Classes and Holders of Disputed Claims

As set forth above, certain Holders of Claims and Equity Interests are not entitled to vote on the Plan. As a result, such parties will not receive Solicitation Packages and, instead, will receive the appropriate notice and an Opt-Out Form:

 

   

Unimpaired Claims – Deemed to Accept. Other Secured Claims and First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims in Classes 1 and 2(a), respectively, are Unimpaired under the Plan and their Holders are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan. As such, Holders of such Claims will receive, in lieu of a Solicitation Package, the applicable Notice of Non-Voting Status attached as Exhibit 4.4 to the Disclosure Statement Order.

 

   

Impaired Claims – Deemed to Reject. Holders of No Recovery Opioid Claims, Subordinated Claims, and Equity Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14, respectively, are receiving no distribution under the Plan on account of such Claims and Equity Interests and, therefore, are conclusively presumed to reject the Plan. The Holders of Subordinated Claims and Equity Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14 will receive the applicable Notice of Non-Voting Status attached as Exhibits 4.5, 4.6, and 4.12 to the Disclosure Statement Order.

 

   

Unimpaired or Impaired Claims – Deemed to Accept or Reject. Intercompany Claims in Class 11 and Intercompany Interests in Class 12 are either deemed to accept or reject the Plan (as applicable) and are held by other Debtors and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The Holders of Intercompany Claims in Class 11 and Intercompany Interests in Class 12 will receive the applicable Notice of Non-Voting Status.

 

   

Disputed Claims.

 

26


   

If any party in interest with appropriate standing has filed an objection to a Claim on or before July 12, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) (such claim, a “Disputed Claim”), such Disputed Claim (or the portion thereof that is Disputed) is temporarily disallowed for voting purposes, except as otherwise provided in a stipulation, settlement, or other agreement filed by the Debtors (in consultation with the Supporting Parties) and approved or as may be otherwise ordered by the Court prior to or concurrent with entry of an order confirming the Plan, including pursuant to an order on any Rule 3018 Motion (as described below) filed regarding such Claim; provided that if the objection seeks to reclassify or reduce the allowed amount of such Claim, then such Claim is temporarily allowed for voting purposes in the reduced amount and/or as reclassified, except as otherwise provided in a stipulation, settlement, or other agreement filed by the Debtors (in consultation with the Supporting Parties) and approved or as may be otherwise ordered by the Court prior to or concurrent with entry of an order confirming the Plan. Such Holders of Disputed Claims will receive a “Notice of Non-Voting Status To Holders of Disputed Claims,” attached as Exhibit 4.7 to the Disclosure Statement Order, which notice will explain this designation as well as the Holder’s rights with respect thereto.

 

   

If any claimant seeks to challenge the disallowance of its Claim for voting purposes, such claimant must file a motion with the Court for an order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3018(a) temporarily allowing such Claim for voting purposes (a “Rule 3018 Motion”) on or before July 26, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) (the “Rule 3018(a) Motion Filing Deadline”), unless such deadline is extended by agreement of the Debtors (in consultation with the Supporting Parties). Upon the filing of a timely Rule 3018 Motion, the Notice and Claims Agent will provide such claimant with a Ballot or Master Ballot or a new Ballot or Master Ballot with an updated voting amount (as applicable). For purposes of filing the Voting Report, if the Rule 3018 Motion is resolved by order of the Court, stipulation, or settlement by the business day before the deadline to file the Voting Report, the Notice and Claims Agent will tabulate (or not tabulate, as applicable) such vote according to any aforementioned resolution. Otherwise, the Notice and Claims Agent will treat the vote with respect to such Claim as disallowed for voting purposes to the extent provided above for the purposes of tabulating (or not tabulating) votes in connection with preparation and filing of the Voting Report. The vote with respect to such Claim shall be treated as disallowed for voting purposes to the extent provided above for purposes of confirmation of the Plan except as otherwise provided in a stipulation, settlement, or other agreement filed by the Debtors (in consultation with the Supporting Parties) and approved or as may be otherwise ordered by the Court prior to or concurrently with entry of an order confirming the Plan, including pursuant to an order on any Rule 3018 Motion.

 

   

If a Claim for which a Proof of Claim has been timely filed is wholly contingent, unliquidated, or disputed (based on the face of such Proof of Claim or as determined upon the review of the Debtors), such Claim is accorded one (1) vote and valued at One Dollar ($1.00) for voting purposes only, and not for purposes of allowance or distribution, unless such Claim is a Disputed Claim as set forth above. Such Holders will receive (a) a Solicitation Package that contains the applicable Ballot or Master Ballot, (b) a Confirmation Hearing Notice and (c) a “Notice of Limited Voting Status to Holders of Contingent, Unliquidated or Disputed Claims for Which No Objection Has Been Filed by the Debtors,” in the form attached as Exhibit 4.8 to the Disclosure Statement Order, which notice informs such Person or Entity that its entire Claim has been allowed temporarily for voting purposes only and not for purposes of allowance or distribution, at $1.00.

 

27


   

If a Claim is listed on a timely filed Proof of Claim as contingent, unliquidated, or disputed in part, such Claim is temporarily allowed in the amount that is liquidated, noncontingent and undisputed, unless such Claim is a Disputed Claim as set forth above. Such Holders will receive (a) a Solicitation Package that contains the applicable Ballot or Master Ballot, (b) a “Confirmation Hearing Notice,” (c) a “Notice of Limited Voting Status to Holders of Contingent, Unliquidated or Disputed Claims for Which No Objection Has Been Filed by the Debtors,” attached as Exhibit 4.8 to the Disclosure Statement Order.

 

   

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Claim in Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall be accorded one (1) vote and valued at One Dollar ($1.00) for voting purposes only, and not for purposes of allowance or distribution, unless such Claim is disputed as set forth pursuant to the terms of this paragraph. Opioid Claims may only be disputed and subject to disallowance on non-substantive grounds under the Local Rules (i.e., duplicative, wrong case or wrong class, amended or superseded, etc.), and may not be disputed or subject to disallowance on non-substantive grounds pertaining to late filed claims and claims that do not have a basis in the Debtors’ books and records. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) any Claim in Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall not be required to file a Proof of Claim for such Opioid Claims to be temporarily allowed for voting purposes and (b) any Claim in Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) that is disputed and subject to disallowance but is otherwise temporarily allowed for voting purposes shall be accorded one (1) vote and valued at One Dollar ($1.00) for voting purposes only, and may not be disallowed for voting purposes for any reason other than as set forth in this paragraph;

 

   

Contract and Lease Counterparties. Parties to certain of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases may not have scheduled Claims or Claims based upon Proofs of Claim pending the disposition of their contracts or leases by assumption or rejection. Without amending or altering any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumption or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, to ensure that such parties nevertheless receive notice of the Plan, counterparties to the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases will receive, in lieu of a Solicitation Package, a “Contract/Lease Party Notice” attached as Exhibit 4.9 to the Disclosure Statement Order.

 

  8.

Additional Distribution of Solicitation Documents

In addition to the distribution of Solicitation Packages to Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes, the Debtors will also provide parties who have filed requests for notices under Bankruptcy Rule 2002 as of the Voting Record Date with this Disclosure Statement, Disclosure Statement Order, and Plan. Additionally, parties may request (and obtain at the Debtors’ expense) a copy of this Disclosure Statement (and any exhibits thereto, including the Plan) by: (a) calling the Notice and Claims Agent at 877-467-1570 (Toll-Free) (US/Canada); 347-817-4093 (International); (b) writing to Mallinckrodt plc Ballot Processing, c/o Prime Clerk LLC One Grand Central Place, 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 1440, New York, NY 10165 or mallinckrodtinfo@primeclerk.com; and/or (c) visiting the Debtors’ restructuring website at: https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/mallinckrodt.

Voting Instructions

Under the Plan, Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Those Holders may so vote by completing a Ballot or Master Ballot, as applicable, and returning it to the Notice and Claims Agent prior to the Voting Deadline. Each Ballot (other than the Ballots for Opioid Claimants in Classes 8(a)-(d) and Classes 9(a)-(h)) will include an option to affirmatively opt out of the Releases by Non-Debtor Releasing Parties Other than Opioid Claimants contained in Article IX.C of the Plan.

All Holders of Opioid Claims in Voting Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall be entitled to obtain a Solicitation Package (with a Ballot) and vote on the Plan. The dedicated opioid claimant webpage shall contain an online portal(s) whereby Opioid Claimants may request (and immediately obtain) and submit a Ballot.

Where any portion of a single Claim has been transferred to a transferee, all Holders of any portion of such single Claim will be (i) treated as a single creditor for purposes of the numerosity requirements in section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (and for the other voting and solicitation procedures set forth herein), and (ii) required to vote every portion of such Claim collectively to accept or reject the Plan.

  a.

Voting Procedures with Respect to Holders of Class 3 – First Lien Notes Claims, Class 4 – Second Lien Notes Claims, Class 5 – Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims, and Class 6(d) - Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims

The Debtors believe that all Holders of Claims in Class 3 (First Lien Notes Claims), Class 4 (Second Lien Notes Claims), Class 5 (Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims), and Class 6(d) - Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims hold their Claims through Nominees. As a result, for votes with respect to such Classes’ Claims to be counted, Class 3, 4, 5, and 6(d) Ballots and Notes Master Ballots must be mailed to the appropriate Nominees at the addresses on the envelopes enclosed with the such Class Ballots and Notes Master Ballots (or otherwise delivered to the appropriate Nominees in accordance with such Nominees’ instructions) so that such Nominees have sufficient time to record the votes of such beneficial owner on a Notes Master Ballot aggregating votes of Beneficial Holders) and return such Notes Master Ballot so it is actually received by the Notice and Claims Agent by the Voting Deadline.

All Notes Master Ballots, in order to be counted, must be properly completed in accordance with the voting instructions on the Notes Master Ballot and actually received from the Nominee no later than the Voting Deadline (i.e., September 3, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time)) by the Notice and Claims Agent through one of the following means:

The Debtors intend to seek approval for an attorney representing Holders of Claims in Classes 6(a)-(c) and (e)-(f) and Class 10 to submit the votes of its clients through the Non-Notes Master Ballot so long as such attorney follows specified procedures set forth in the Solicitation Procedures, the Solicitation Directive Notice and Solicitation Directive attached as Attachment 1, Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, to the Disclosure Statement Order. An attorney electing to utilize such procedure will be required to collect and record the votes of its clients through customary and accepted practices, or obtain authority to procedurally cast such clients’ votes. If your attorney has indicated that your vote will be submitted by a Non-Notes Master Ballot, but you prefer to vote by means of an individual Ballot, you may contact the Notice and Claims Agent at (a) 877-467-1570 (Toll-Free) (US/Canada); 347-817-4093 (International); (b) writing to Mallinckrodt plc Ballot Processing, c/o Prime Clerk LLC One Grand Central Place, 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 1440, New York, NY 10165 or mallinckrodtinfo@primeclerk.com; and/or (c) visiting the Debtors’ restructuring website at: https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/mallinckrodt. The Non-Notes Master Ballot must be delivered pursuant to the instructions set forth on each applicable Non-Notes Master Ballot.

If you are a holder of a Claim in Classes 6(a)-(c) and (e)-(f) or 10 and are represented by an attorney, you may be eligible to have your attorney vote to accept or reject the Plan on your behalf via the Non-Notes Master Ballot Solicitation Method (as defined in the Solicitation Procedures attached as Attachment 1 to the Disclosure Statement Order). In such case, your attorney will be required to collect and record your vote through customary and accepted practices, or obtain authority to procedurally cast your vote. In the event that your attorney votes to accept or reject the Plan on your behalf via the applicable Non-Notes Master Ballot and you also submit an individual Ballot to accept or reject the Plan, your individual Ballot will control over any duplicate vote on the applicable Non-Notes Master Ballot.

Please carefully review the Disclosure Statement Order and the Solicitation Procedures attached thereto as “Attachment 1,” including the voting procedures identified as the “Non-Notes Master Ballot Solicitation Procedures,” for more details concerning the procedures to vote on the Plan.

Although a majority of the funds in the opioid trusts under the Plan will be used to fund abatement of the opioid crisis, certain Holders of Opioid Claims may be entitled to receive money from one of the opioid trusts established under the Plan. If the Plan is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, Holders of Allowed Opioid Claims will be entitled to assert their Opioid Claims directly against the applicable opioid trust at a later time. Holders of Opioid Claims do NOT need to file an official Proof of Claim form in order to assert their Opioid Claims against any of the opioid trusts. Holders of Opioid Claims will be notified of how to assert their Opioid Claims against one of the opioid trusts at a later date.

All Holders of Opioid Claims in Voting Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall be entitled to obtain a Solicitation Package (with a Ballot) and vote on the Plan. All materials included in the Solicitation Package for Opioid Claimants shall be made available free of charge online at the dedicated opioid claimant webpage.

There are many ways Holders of Opioid Claims in Voting Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) may cast a vote on the Plan.

First, Holders of Opioid Claims in Classes 8(a)- (d) and 9(a)-(h) may visit the dedicated opioid claimant webpage where there is an online portal whereby Opioid Claimants may request (and immediately obtain) and submit a Ballot to vote on the Plan.

(b)

Then request from the Notice and Claims Agent (a) a copy of the Plan and Disclosure Statement and (b) an individual Opioid Claims Ballot.

 

(c)

Carefully review the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and Ballot (and the instructions on the Ballot). You may wish to consult a lawyer on how your rights, if any, may be affected by the Plan.

 

(d)

(e)

Submit the completed and signed Ballot back to the Notice and Claims Agent so that it is actually received by 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on September 3, 2021. Ballots received after that time will NOT be counted.

Third, Holders of Opioid Claims in Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) may authorize their lawyer, if they have one or choose to engage one, to complete and cast their vote on the Plan on their behalf. If a lawyer completes the Ballot on the Opioid Claimant’s behalf, the Opioid Claimant still must sign and certify the Ballot as required by the Ballot’s instructions.

Finally, the Debtors intend to seek approval for an attorney representing Holders of Claims in Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) to submit the votes of its clients through the Non-Notes Master Ballot so long as such attorney follows specified procedures set forth in the Solicitation Procedures, the Solicitation Directive Notice and Solicitation Directive attached as Attachment 1, Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, to the Disclosure Statement Order. An attorney electing to utilize such procedure will be required to collect and record the votes of its clients through customary and accepted practices, or obtain authority to procedurally cast such clients’ votes. If your attorney has indicated that your vote will be submitted by a Non-Notes Master Ballot, but you prefer to vote by means of an individual Ballot, you may contact the Notice and

Claims Agent at (a) 877-467-1570 (Toll-Free) (US/Canada); 347-817-4093 (International); (b) Mallinckrodt plc Ballot Processing, c/o Prime Clerk LLC One Grand Central Place, 60 East 42nd Street, Suite 1440, New York, NY 10165 or mallinckrodtinfo@primeclerk.com; and/or (c) the Debtors’ restructuring website at: https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/mallinckrodt. The Non-Notes Master Ballot must be delivered pursuant to the instructions set forth on each applicable Non-Notes Master Ballot.

If you are a holder of a Claim in Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) and are represented by an attorney, you may be eligible to have your attorney vote to accept or reject the Plan on your behalf via the Non-Notes Master Ballot Solicitation Method (as defined in the Solicitation Procedures attached as Attachment 1 to the Disclosure Statement Order). In such case, your attorney will be required to collect and record your vote through customary and accepted practices, or obtain authority to procedurally cast your vote. In the event that your attorney votes to accept or reject the Plan on your behalf via the applicable Non-Notes Master Ballot and you also submit an individual Ballot to accept or reject the Plan, your individual Ballot will control over any duplicate vote on the applicable Non-Notes Master Ballot.

\Effect of Confirmation of the Plan

Article IX of the Plan contains certain provisions relating to (a) the compromise and settlement of Claims, (b) the release of the Released Parties by the Debtors and certain Holders of Claims, and each of their respective Related Persons, and (c) exculpation of certain parties. It is important to read such provisions carefully so that you understand the implications of these provisions with respect to your Claim such that you may cast your vote accordingly.

 

THE PLAN WILL BIND ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTWITHSTANDING WHETHER OR NOT SUCH HOLDER (A) WILL RECEIVE OR RETAIN ANY PROPERTY OR INTEREST IN PROPERTY UNDER THE PLAN, (B) HAS FILED A PROOF OF CLAIM OR INTEREST IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES, OR (C) FAILED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN OR VOTED TO REJECT THE PLAN

 

  G.

The Plan Releases

The Plan contains two separate, non-overlapping releases that will bind certain holders of Claims and Interests. Various parties have asserted that the Plan is unconfirmable because of its release provisions, but the Debtors believe these provisions comply fully with applicable law. The following summary of those provisions is subject in all respects to the Plan itself.

 

 

38


Article IX.C of the Plan provides that the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties will be deemed to have released the Released Parties from Claims and Causes of Action relating to the Debtors and their restructuring and Chapter 11 Cases, among other things. The Released Parties include, without limitation, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Non-Debtor Affiliates, their directors, officers, employees, and advisors, the parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors’ secured lenders and noteholders, the Opioid MDT II and the Opioid Creditor Trusts, and their respective, advisors and representatives.

The Debtors’ position is that this “third party release” is consensual under prevailing practice in the Bankruptcy Court because applicable Holders of Claims and Interests, other than those that are Unimpaired under the Plan, have the ability to “opt out” of the release by timely submitting an opt out election. This structural element of the Plan, combined with the Debtors’ anticipated solicitation and noticing process, justify deeming any applicable Holder of a Claim or Interest to have consented to the release. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors also believe the “third party release” is justified as a non-consensual release under applicable legal precedent.

Importantly, Article IX.C of the Plan does not apply to Holders of Opioid Claims in their capacity as such. Instead, such Holders, in that capacity, are subject to Article IX.D of the Plan, which provides for a non-consensual release of the Protected Parties from any Claims and Causes of Action relating to the Debtors and their restructuring and Chapter 11 Cases, among other things. The Protected Parties include, without limitation, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Non-Debtor Affiliates, and their directors, officers, employees, and advisors; but the Protected Parties generally do not include any third party lenders or other creditors.

The Debtors’ position is that this “opioid claimant release” is justified as non-consensual under applicable legal precedent and as a further effectuating mechanism for the Channeling Injunction of Opioid Claims to the Opioid MDT II and the Opioid Creditor Trusts, which is provided under Article IX.G of the Plan. These Chapter 11 Cases are the first ever reorganization of a defendant in the nationwide opioid litigation that will not come to be owned by opioid claimant trusts, and which involves secured and unsecured funded debt and material, non-opioid businesses. The unprecedented circumstances of these cases and of the opioid abuse epidemic, as well as the substantial contributions to the Debtors’ restructuring made by the Protected Parties, will be demonstrated by the Debtors at the Confirmation Hearing in support of the Plan.

Finally, the Released Parties also would be released from any Claims and Causes of Action held by the Estates under the Plan. The Debtors, through independent board members and counsel, are conducting two separate diligence processes—one for Specialty Generics and one for all the other Debtors—to evaluate whether granting those releases by implementing the Plan is consistent with the Debtors’ fiduciary duties. The Specialty Generics process is being conducted by the independent directors of Specialty Generics, Sherman Edmiston and Marc Beilinson, with their counsel Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and financial advisor PJT Partners, and the second process is being conducted by two independent directors of Mallinckrodt plc, Anne Whitaker and Paul Carter, with the assistance of the Debtors’ counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP and Richards Layton & Finger, P.A., and the Debtors’ restructuring advisors AlixPartners LLP. Importantly, if any board of any Debtor determines that these releases, as currently constructed, would not be consistent with such Debtor’s or such board’s fiduciary duties, the Restructuring Support Agreement can be terminated by the Debtors’ board. Please see section IV.P of this Disclosure Statement titled “The Debtors’ Diligence Related to the Plan Releases” for more information regarding these diligence processes.

Additionally, from and after the Effective Date, Security Holders who have not validly opted out of the third party release under the Plan will be barred from proceeding with Claims against any Released Party, regardless of the extent of available insurance coverage. From and after the Effective Date, Security Holders will be barred from proceeding with claims against the Debtors, regardless of the extent of available insurance coverage.

 

 

39


All Holders of Claims and Interests are advised to read the Article IX of the Plan which sets forth in greater detail the information disclosed in this section I.G of this Disclosure Statement.

 

H.

Consummation of the Plan

It will be a condition to confirmation of the Plan that all provisions, terms and conditions of the Plan are approved in the Confirmation Order unless otherwise satisfied or waived pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII of the Plan. Following confirmation, the Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date.

Risk Factors

Prior to deciding whether and how to vote on the Plan, each Holder of a Claim in a Voting Class should consider carefully all of the information in this Disclosure Statement, including the Risk Factors described in Section IX herein titled, “Risk Factors to Consider Before Voting.”

II.

BACKGROUND TO THE CHAPTER 11 CASES

 

  A.

The Debtors’ Corporate Structure

Prior to our filing for Chapter 11, our ordinary shares were traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MNK.” On October 13, 2020, the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the SEC to delist the ordinary shares, $0.20 par value, of the registrant from the NYSE. The delisting became effective October 26, 2020. The deregistration of the ordinary shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act became effective on January 11, 2021, at which point the ordinary shares were deemed registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The registrant’s ordinary shares began trading on the OTC Pink Marketplace on October 13, 2020 under the symbol “MNKKQ.”

The subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc are divided into two business segments: (a) Specialty Brands and (b) Specialty Generics. The two businesses are fundamentally distinct and are operated accordingly. The segments share limited corporate services and insurance coverage, are combined for U.S. tax reporting purposes (in returns filed by Debtor MEH, Inc.), and use some of the same physical facilities, all on documented, market-based terms. But beyond these aspects, any other business overlap (such as common vendor relationships) is de minimis. Each of Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics has its own management team directing core decision-making and driving their respective successes, as well as separate boards of directors or managers (as applicable), including different independent board members for Mallinckrodt plc and for the Specialty Generics Debtors.

A detailed organizational chart, including all the Debtors and Non-Debtor Affiliates, is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The following is a simplified version to depict the legal and operating structure as relevant to the Debtors, with blue boxes depicting Debtor entities and white boxes depicting Non-Debtor Affiliates:16

This simplified version is illustrative and does not purport to depict every legal entity or corporate relationship between entities, and is subject to further updates by the Debtors as changes are made to the Debtors’ corporate structure. The chart in Exhibit C to this Disclosure Statement is a complete and accurate version.

The Debtors’ Business Operations

 

  1.

Business Segments

As described above, Mallinckrodt is split into two separate business segments – Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics – operated by different sets of legal entities. For the fiscal year ended December 25, 2020, Specialty Brands accounted for $2,059.6 million in net sales, while Specialty Generics accounted for $689.8 million.

 

  a.

Specialty Brands

Specialty Brands is owned and operated by the Debtors and certain foreign Non-Debtor Affiliates and focuses on autoimmune and rare diseases in specialty areas like neurology, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonology and ophthalmology, as well as immunotherapy and neonatal respiratory critical care therapies and non-opioid analgesics.

 

42


Specialty Brands currently produces, markets, and sells the following branded products, among others:

 

   

Acthar, an injectable drug approved by the FDA for use in 19 indications, including, among others, monotherapy for the treatment of infantile spasms in infants and children under 2 years of age. The currently approved indications of Acthar are not subject to patent or other exclusivity;

 

   

INOmax, an inhaled gas delivered by a proprietary delivery device, which is a pulmonary vasodilator marketed as part of the INOmax Total Care Package, which includes the drug product, drug-delivery device, technical and clinical assistance, 24/7/365 customer service, emergency supply and delivery and on-site training;

 

   

Ofirmev, a proprietary intravenous formulation of acetaminophen, a non-opioid analgesic used for post-operative pain management;

 

   

Therakos, a global leader in autologous immunotherapy delivered through extracorporeal photopheresis (“ECP”), provided by a proprietary medical device and related consumables, providing the only integrated ECP system in the world; and

 

   

Amitiza, a global leader in the branded constipation market.

Specialty Generics

Specialty Generics offers a portfolio of over twenty specialty generic product families, most of which are controlled substances regulated by the DEA. Altogether, Specialty Generics operates one of the largest controlled substance pharmaceutical businesses in the U.S., offering generic products for pain management, substance abuse disorders, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) used by other pharmaceutical manufacturers to produce finished dosage pharmaceutical products. Notably, it is the only producer of the API for acetaminophen in the North American and European regions.

Specialty Generics’ revenues are well-diversified, with roughly half of its revenue coming from APIs, and the other half from finished dosage pharmaceutical products:

Research and Development

The Debtors devote significant resources to research and development (“R&D”).

 

  a.

Specialty Brands

Specialty Brands’ R&D investments center on building a diverse, durable portfolio of innovative therapies that provide value to patients, physicians and payers. This strategy focuses on growth, including pipeline opportunities related to early—and late- stage development products to meet the needs of underserved patient populations, where the Specialty Brands Debtors execute on the development process and perform clinical trials to pursue regulatory approval of new products.

Within Specialty Brands’ pipeline are innovative products that, if approved, will give more patients suffering from difficult-to-treat and often overlooked conditions better treatment options. This includes StrataGraft®, an investigative regenerative skin tissue therapy developed as a biologic and in partnership with BARDA through Project BioShield, that is used for the treatment of severe burns and may reduce the need for autografting in certain patients. StrataGraft is among the first products to be designated as a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy by the FDA under the provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act, and in August the FDA accepted our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for review.

The Debtors also hold an equity investment in Silence Therapeutics as part of a collaboration to develop and commercialize novel RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics for the treatment of serious diseases, including autoimmune diseases.

Specialty Brands’ significant investment in R&D is paving the way for the future of the business, with multiple products in various stages of development, which the Debtors believe will provide long-term organic growth and diversification.

 

  b.

Specialty Generics

Specialty Generics’ R&D objective is to use their proven development, formulation, and material characterization capabilities to develop hard-to-manufacture complex generic pharmaceuticals with difficult-to-replicate characteristics, such as their release, absorption, or metabolism profiles (among other things). In particular, the Specialty Generics Debtors are developing a number of non-opioid and non-controlled substance complex generic pharmaceutical products, some of which will take advantage of their API and drug product manufacturing capabilities and expertise.

Debtor Mallinckrodt plc, as parent, Debtors Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. and Mallinckrodt CB LLC, as borrowers, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Secured Lenders” and, together with the Agent, the “First Lien Secured Parties”), are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2014, as amended by Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 1, dated August 14, 2014, Refinancing Amendment No. 1

 

 

45


and Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 2, dated August 28, 2015, Refinancing Amendment No. 2 and Incremental Assumption Agreement No. 3, dated February 28, 2017, and Incremental Assumption Agreement no. 4, dated February 13, 2018, and Amendment, dated as of February 21, 2018 (as further modified, amended, or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides three separate credit facilities: (a) a revolving credit facility maturing in 2022, (b) a term loan due 2024, and (c) a term loan due 2025. As of the Petition Date, the aggregate outstanding principal of (a) the revolving credit facility was $900,000,000.00, (b) the term loan due 2024 was $1,505,211,683.76, and (c) the term loan due 2025 was $399,488,946.81.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, each of the Debtors (other than Mallinckrodt Group S.à r.l. and Mallinckrodt Canada ULC) and the non-Debtor guarantors party thereto provided an unconditional guaranty of all obligations under the Credit Agreement, and entered into security documents providing for first-priority liens on substantially all assets, including all accounts, chattel paper, cash and deposit accounts, documents, equipment, fixtures, general intangibles (including, without limitation, all intellectual property), instruments, inventory, investment property, letters of credit and letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims, books and records, customer lists, credit files, programs, printouts and other computer materials and records pertaining to foregoing, as well as all proceeds, supporting obligations and products of any and all of the foregoing.

III.

KEY EVENTS LEADING TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES

 

  A.

The Opioid Litigations

Over the three years prior to the Petition Date, certain of the Debtors and their ultimate parent Debtor Mallinckrodt plc have been involved in 3,034 cases in 50 states and Puerto Rico filed against the Debtors—with 2,785 cases in federal court and 249 cases in state court as of October 7, 2020— concerning the production and sales of its opioid products. The federal cases have been, and continue to be, largely consolidated into a multi-district litigation in Cleveland, Ohio—In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL No. 2804 (the “MDL”) . But the cases in state court proliferated and progressed with alarming speed, as depicted in the graphic below. Prior to the Petition Date, state court judges had set various schedules for litigating different causes of action involving different discovery and different plaintiffs. As a result, prior to the Petition Date, Mallinckrodt was fighting lawsuits in 136 different state courts, with 8 trial dates scheduled or expected to begin within the year after the Petition Date in state or federal forums. Until the Petition Date, new litigation against the Debtors continued to be filed weekly.

Plaintiffs bringing the lawsuits include U.S. states, counties, cities, towns and other governmental persons or entities, Native American tribes, third -party payers, hospitals, health systems, unions, health and welfare funds, individuals, and others. The lawsuits assert a variety of claims, including, but not limited to, public nuisance, negligence, civil conspiracy, fraud, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act or similar state laws, violations of state Controlled Substances Acts or state False Claims Acts, product liability, consumer fraud, unfair or deceptive trade practices, false advertising, insurance fraud, unjust enrichment and other common law and statutory claims arising from the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and promotion of opioids. Generally, the plaintiffs seek restitution, damages, including punitive damages and penalties, abatement, injunctive and other relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

 

  B.

The Opioid Settlement Negotiations and Summary of Terms

For more than two years, Mallinckrodt engaged in settlement discussions with numerous States Attorneys General, as well as the court-appointed plaintiffs’ executive committee in the national opioid MDL (“Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee”). In August 2019, Mallinckrodt engaged directly with the plaintiffs in two “Track One” bellwether trials that were scheduled in the multidistrict litigation in October 2019. After several weeks of discussions, Mallinckrodt and those two plaintiffs—two counties in northern Ohio—agreed to settle the suits for cash payment in the amount of $24 million and contribution of generic products, including addiction treatment products, worth $6 million.

Mallinckrodt then engaged in months of intensive discussions with a committee of counsel from the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee, as well as certain State Attorneys General. Discussions were fruitful from the start, and Debtor Mallinckrodt plc and certain of the Specialty Generics Debtors agreed to pay for professionals (subject to reasonable terms) to advise the plaintiffs’ negotiating committee in settlement negotiations with Mallinckrodt.

In February 2020, the Specialty Generics Debtors, Debtor Mallinckrodt plc, and the plaintiff committee announced they had finally reached the core economic terms of a settlement (the “Opioid Settlement”). In addition to establishing global economic terms for payment of all outstanding opioid-related liabilities, the Opioid Settlement accomplishes a second critical objective: it establishes certain agreed go-forward operational parameters for the Debtors’ opioid business, largely codifying previously established practices and procedures, compliance with which will dramatically reduce the risk to that business going forward.

 

49


After agreeing to the Opioid Settlement in early 2020, the Debtors began to prepare a chapter 11 strategy through which the Opioid Settlement would become binding on all opioid claimants. As part of this effort and to facilitate the implementation of the Opioid Settlement through a chapter 11 plan structure, the Debtors entered into an engagement letter with Roger Frankel of Frankel Wyron LLP on February 24, 2020 to serve as a proposed future claims representative (the “FCR”) to represent the interests of individuals who may in the future assert opioid-related claims against the Debtors.18 The FCR retained multiple advisors, including counsel, an investment banker, a claims estimator, special litigation counsel, and a medical advisor (collectively, the “FCR Advisors”). Together with the FCR Advisors, the FCR initiated an extensive diligence process into the Debtors’ businesses and the pending opioid litigations, subject to confidentiality agreements.

However, events that occurred in the Spring of 2020 – including adverse events in certain Specialty Brands-related litigations (described in section C below), the financial impact of the emergent COVID-19 pandemic, and the termination of negotiations around a potential recapitalization transaction – made clear that the Debtors needed to address their capital structure more broadly, including potentially seeking protection under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Ultimately, the Debtors determined that the most value-maximizing path forward was a chapter 11 filing of both of the Debtors’ business divisions, Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics.

Following their determination to file both the Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics business divisions, the Debtors engaged in hard fought, multi-party negotiations within the context of a comprehensive restructuring of the Debtors with the plaintiff negotiating committee comprised of the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee and certain State Attorneys General, as well as the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, who collectively hold over 84% of the Debtors’ fulcrum funded debt securities. These negotiations culminated in the proposed restructuring embodied in the Restructuring Support Agreement and included a revised Opioid Settlement that largely adhered to the terms of the February 2020 agreement in principle.

The principal terms of the revised Opioid Settlement contained in the Restructuring Support Agreement are as follows:

 

   

The Plan will provide for the establishment of the Opioid MDT II, which will receive the following “Opioid MDT II 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

 

18 

As described in more detail in this Disclosure Statement, on March 16, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court appointed Roger Frankel as the FCR for the purposes of permitting him to participate in an ongoing mediation over the allocation of the Opioid MDT II assets. The Debtors’ motion for the appointment of the FCR on a permanent basis remains pending.

  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”); 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, which includes Additional Insurance Rights, remains subject to discussion among the Supporting Parties and the Debtors in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement.

 

   

All Opioid Claims will be assumed by the Opioid MDT II, the respective Opioid Creditor Trusts, and the Ratepayer Account (as applicable), and be discharged, released, and enjoined as to the Debtors and the other Released Parties.

 

   

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 MDT II, the respective Opioid Creditor Trusts, and the Ratepayer Account (as applicable).

 

   

Each Opioid Claim shall be resolved in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the Opioid MDT II Documents and the Opioid Creditor Trust Documents (as applicable).

 

   

The sole recourse of any Opioid Claimant on account of such Opioid Claim shall be to the Opioid MDT II, the Opioid Creditor Trusts or the Ratepayer Account (as applicable), and solely in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents, and the Opioid Creditor Trust Documents (as applicable) and each such Opioid Claimant shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert its Opioid Claim against any Protected Party.

 

   

The Plan and the Confirmation Order will contain (a) a release by holders of Opioid Claims and an injunction channeling all Opioid Claims against the Protected Parties to the Opioid MDT II, the Opioid Creditor Trusts, and the Ratepayer Account (as applicable).

 

   

The Debtors 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. The Confirmation Order will extend the Opioid Operating Injunction to govern the Reorganized Debtors’ operations after the Plan Effective Date.

The recoveries to Holders of Opioid Claims and other terms set forth in the Opioid Settlement term sheet are the result of months of hard-fought negotiations. The Debtors believe these terms are well within the range of reasonableness applicable to settlements under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. Furthermore, the terms are justified by the potential amount and nature of the Opioid Claims, their corresponding entitlements, potential Avoidance Actions relating to the Specialty Generics Debtors, and the terms of the Plan itself, which release and channel Opioid Claims away from all of the Debtors and Non-Debtor Affiliates, including Specialty Brands Debtors and non-Debtors.

 

51


Settlement payments relating to the Opioid Settlement and the Plan’s treatment of Opioid Claims will generally be funded from balance sheet cash and cash from operations, subject to the Debtors’ right to exercise the Prepayment Option with proceeds of an equity raise and to the Debtors’ right generally to prepay any amounts with the proceeds of a capital raise.

 

  C.

Litigation

 

  1.

Acthar Related Litigations

As of the Petition Date, the Specialty Brands Debtors faced more than 25 litigations and government investigations, which exposed the Debtors to over $15 billion in aggregate alleged potential damages. The majority of these litigations are related to Acthar® Gel (“Acthar”), and of that group, among the most publicized cases are the declaratory judgement action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (now on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit) and the False Claims Act action in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts based on the same fact pattern but asserting treble damages, which could be crippling to the Debtors. These two actions related to the calculation of rebates that the Debtors pay to state Medicaid programs. Since 2016, Debtor Mallinckrodt ARD LLC (“ARD”) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“CMS”) have been in a dispute regarding the appropriate base date Average Manufacturer Price (a “Base Date AMP”) for Acthar, which is used in the calculation of rebates.

In 2016, CMS notified ARD that it believed Acthar was not eligible for the Base Date AMP in use since 2013, which CMS had, in two separate written communications (including communications to predecessors to ARD), previously authorized in connection with Acthar’s use in treating infantile spasms. In May 2019, CMS notified ARD that unless it updated the Base Date AMP for Acthar within 14 days, it would be declared “out of compliance” with the Drug Data Reporting for Medicaid system, forcing ARD to file a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking injunctive relief and a determination that CMS’s changed position was unlawful (the “CMS Action”). That suit led ultimately to a summary judgment against ARD in March 2020, which ARD timely appealed.

Further, in March 2020, the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) intervened in a qui tam lawsuit under the False Claims Act filed in 2018 against ARD in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “FCA Action”),19 accusing Mallinckrodt of knowingly using an incorrect Base Date AMP for Acthar. Mallinckrodt disputes the DOJ’s allegations and believes it has strong defenses, but because of the False Claims Act’s provision for treble punitive damages, the Debtors are exposed to a potential judgment that could result in more than $1.9 billion in liabilities.

 

  2.

Other Litigations

In addition to the CMS Action and the FCA Action, the Debtors are involved in an additional False Claims Act litigation, multiple putative class actions, private actions, and securities litigations, including:

 

19 

The FCA Action is United States of America et al. ex rel. Landolt v. Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Inc., No. 18-11931-PBS (D. Mass.).

 

 

52


 

   

ARD is a defendant in another qui tam False Claims Act litigation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in which the DOJ has intervened, relating to Acthar payments made through charitable foundations;20

 

   

ARD is a defendant in multiple private actions and putative class actions brought on behalf of public and private payers related to the pricing of Acthar. The plaintiffs in these cases allege, among other things, that Debtors Mallinckrodt plc and ARD engaged in (a) anti-competitive acts, (b) violations of consumer protection laws and unfair trade practices, and (c) unjust enrichment (the “Prepetition Acthar Actions”).21 All Prepetition Acthar Actions are stayed indefinitely against the Debtors pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 362, and all Prepetition Acthar Actions are stayed as against co-defendants Express Scripts, Inc. and its affiliates for at least 270 days from November 25, 2021, pursuant to this Court’s order under Bankruptcy Code Section 105.

 

   

Mallinckrodt plc is a defendant in multiple securities class actions and derivative litigations alleging, among other things, false and misleading statements related to Acthar;22 and

 

   

Mallinckrodt Inc. has been named as a defendant in several private putative class actions filed against dozens of pharmaceutical companies alleging antitrust violations with respect to generic pharmaceutical pricing that have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.23 In addition, Mallinckrodt Inc., Mallinckrodt LLC, and Mallinckrodt plc have been named as defendants in a government lawsuit brought nearly 50 states alleging antitrust violations related to generic pharmaceutical pricing as well in the District of Connecticut (collectively, the “Generics Price Fixing Actions”).

 

  D.

The Federal/State Acthar Settlement Agreement

Simultaneous with ongoing negotiations with opioid plaintiffs and multiple groups of lenders and noteholders, the Debtors actively engaged with the DOJ to try to settle ARD’s Acthar-related liabilities in connection with the CMS Action and beyond. Starting in late spring of 2020, these discussions included providing the DOJ with considerable financial diligence and several rounds of offers and counteroffers.

In September 2020, the Debtors reached an agreement in principle with the DOJ, contingent upon a chapter 11 filing by Mallinckrodt plc, to resolve most Acthar-related claims and investigations of the federal government against the Debtors (the “Acthar Settlement”), including certain of the matters described above.24 The terms of the agreement in principle were set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement. As described in the Restructuring Support Agreement, the terms of the settlement will be effectuated through the Debtors’ Plan. The deal, in short, calls for the Debtors to make cash payments in eight installments, beginning on the Plan’s Effective Date and on each of the first seven anniversaries thereof, totaling $260,000,000, to the DOJ and various states. In return, the Debtors will be released by the relevant governmental agencies for these Acthar-related claims.

 

20 

This case is United States of America, et al., ex rel., Charles Strunck, et al. v. Mallinckrodt ARD LLC, Case No. 12-175-BMS (E.D. Penn.)

21 

The Prepetition Acthar Actions include, among others, City of Rockford v. Mallinckrodt ARD, Inc., et al.(N.D. Ill.); MSP Recovery Claims, Series II, LLC, et al. v. Mallinckrodt ARD, Inc., et al. (N.D. Ill.); Humana Inc. v. Mallinckrodt ARD LLC, et al. (C.D. Calif.); Acument Global Technologies, Inc., v. Mallinckrodt ARD Inc., et al. (Tenn. Cir. Ct.); Int’l Union of Operating Engineers Local 542 v. Mallinckrodt ARD Inc., et al. (Pa. Ct. Common Pleas); United Association of Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 322 of Southern New Jersey v. Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC, et al. (D. N.J.); Steamfitters Local Union No. 420 v. Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC, et al. (E.D. Pa.); and City of Marietta v. Mallinckrodt ARD LLC (N.D. Ga.).

22 

These cases are Shenk v. Mallinckrodt Plc, et al. (D.D.C); Strougo v. Mallinckrodt Plc, et al. (D.N.J.); Solomon v. Mallinckrodt Plc, et al. (D.D.C.); and Brandhorst v. Mark Trudeau, et al. (D.D.C.)

23 

These cases are consolidated in the MDL captioned as In re: Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust MDL, 16-MD-2724 (E.D. Pa.).

24 

Specifically, the Debtors and the United States (including CMS and DOJ) reached a settlement in principle with respect to two Acthar related qui tam litigations: United States of America, et al., ex rel., Charles Strunck, et al. v. Mallinckrodt ARD LLC (E.D. Pa.) and United States of America et al. ex rel. Landolt v. Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC (D. Mass.); and Mallinckrodt ARD LLC v. Verma et al. (D.D.C.),and all related matters.

 

 

53


The Debtors’ negotiations with CMS and the DOJ lasted several months, and the settlement reached was the product of those hard-fought negotiations. The Debtors believe the settlement satisfies applicable standards under Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code because the governmental creditors that hold the settled claims are uniquely situated from any of the Debtors’ other creditors, and also serve as the Company’s regulators. After the March 2020 summary judgment against ARD in favor of CMS, the Debtors’ obligations for back-rebates owed to various state Medicaid agencies were calculated to be approximately $ 650 million, and the DOJ thereafter intervened in a False Claims Act suit that would have trebled those damages, resulting in as much as approximately $1.95 billion in claims for the state and federal governments.

In addition to the DOJ, twenty-six states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico filed a complaint-in-intervention in the FCA Action asserting Medicaid back-rebate related claims arising from the sale of Acthar. In these Chapter 11 Cases, each of the 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico (collectively, the “Acthar Settling States”), filed Proofs of Claim in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.95 billion based on the alleged back-rebates. Like the DOJ’s back-rebate claims, the Acthar Settling States’ claims are the subject of an “agreement in principle” described in the Restructuring Support Agreement, which sets forth the economic terms of the agreement, as set forth in Schedule 2 to the Restructuring Support Agreement (i.e., the Plan Term Sheet). The Debtors and the Acthar Settling States (through the Ad Hoc Committee of Government Entities Holding Medicaid Rebate Claims which the Acthar Settling States formed for this purpose), are currently engaged in good faith negotiations to memorialize a definitive agreement to which the parties may agree. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors’ agreement with the DOJ regarding back-rebate claims is separate from the agreement the Debtors are negotiating with the States, and any agreement between the DOJ and the Debtors does not bind the States. Nothing in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, as amended, should be deemed in any way to be inconsistent with this paragraph and the Federal/State Acthar Settlement Agreements shall govern in the event of any inconsistency. All rights of the Acthar Settling States to object to the Plan, either individually or through the Ad Hoc Committee of Governmental Entities Holding Medicaid Rebate Claims, are fully reserved, including, without limitation, on the meaning and applicability of the Restructuring Support Agreement.

The Debtors will demonstrate at Confirmation that the Plan and the Acthar Settlement do not result in unfair discrimination against General Unsecured Creditors.

Settlement payments relating to the Acthar Settlement and the Settled Federal/State Acthar Claims will generally be funded from balance sheet cash and cash from operations in the amounts and at the dates set forth in the Plan.

 

  E.

The Restructuring Support Agreement

As it became clear that the Debtors would need to pursue a whole-company chapter 11, the Debtors opened discussions with the Ad Hoc First Lien Term Lender Group, an ad hoc group of Holders of First Lien Revolving Facility Claims, and an ad hoc group of Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims in an effort to address near-term maturities and to set an appropriate and sustainable capital structure for the Reorganized Debtors. The Debtors spent considerable time and effort responding to diligence requests from all parties involved, as well as conducting extensive, multifaceted discussions. In the end, while not all the Debtors’ creditor groups are party to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors and the ad hoc group of Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims were able to reach an agreement on the terms of a financial restructuring, which is memorialized in the Restructuring Support Agreement and the terms of which are reflected in the Plan. The Opioid Settlement and the Acthar Settlement are also included as part of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the terms of which are reflected in the Plan.

 

54


As of the Petition Date, the Restructuring Support Agreement was signed by the Debtors; unsecured noteholders holding more than 84 percent of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims; 50 Attorneys General of states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories with respect to their opioid claims; and the members of the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee, who will recommend that the more than 1,000 plaintiffs they represent in the MDL support the Opioid Settlement and the Restructuring Support Agreement. After the Petition Date, the MSGE Group, including more than 1,300 governmental opioid claimants, and the Supporting Term Lenders (as detailed below) joined the Restructuring Support Agreement.

The agreements reflected in the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement are the product of extensive negotiations among the Debtors and Supporting Parties regarding several complex disputes related to the allowance of various components of the First Lien Term Loan Claims (including the rate of postpetition interest and issues related to principal repayments due under the First Lien Credit Agreement) and the treatment of such Claims under the Plan, particularly whether such Claims could be reinstated under the Bankruptcy Code. These agreements comprise an integrated and non-severable compromise and settlement of these several disputes, which compromise and settlement is reflected in the Plan and certain orders of the Bankruptcy Court, is fair and reasonable, and falls well above the lowest point in the range of reasonableness.

Specifically, as provided for in Article IV.S of the Plan and pursuant to the negotiated terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors agreed to pay the Noteholder Consent Fee and the Term Loan Exit Payment. The Debtors’ paying the Term Loan Exit Payment and Noteholder Consent Fee is justified as a sound business judgment of the Debtors, in light of such payment being a condition to the support of the applicable Supporting Parties for the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions and to Consummation of the Plan. Failure to make such payments would jeopardize the Debtors’ ability to effectuate the Plan and emerge from these Chapter 11 Cases. Moreover, the Term Loan Exit Payment is the product of an integrated settlement of multiple disputes with respect to the First Lien Term Loan Claims and the entitlements of the First Lien Term Lenders, which were the subject of litigation in the Chapter 11 Cases. Recognizing that payment of the Term Loan Exit Payment is necessary to preserve such settlement and the corresponding estate benefits reflected in the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement, the Debtors sought the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Term Loan Exit Payment and certain other relief, and the Bankruptcy Court granted such relief pursuant to the Order (I) Modifying Cash Collateral Order With Respect To Adequate Protection Terms, (II) Permitting The Debtors To Pay Certain Amounts, And (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 2021].

 

  1.

The DOJ/CMS/States Settlement

CMS, the Debtors, the DOJ, and the Acthar Settling States agreed in principle to the material economic terms of a settlement agreement in connection with the Federal/State Acthar Settlement, to be incorporated into the Plan and to be documented in the Federal/State Acthar Settlement Agreements, which remains subject to continued good faith negotiations. Under the settlement in principle, in full and final satisfaction of all claims at issue in connection with the Federal/State Acthar Settlement, the United States of America and the Acthar Settling States agreed to accept cash payments totaling $260 million in the aggregate in accordance with the below schedule, with deferred payments bearing interest at a variable rate equal to the nominal interest rate on special issues of government securities to the Social Security trust funds, measured as of each payment date and accruing from September 21, 2020:

  2.

The Management Incentive Plan

As part of the good- faith hard fought negotiations of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors and the Supporting Parties also agreed on the provision of the Management Incentive Plan. The Management Incentive Plan is an integral part of the Chapter 11 Plan and is necessary to the success of the Reorganized Debtors and, by extension, the completion of the distributions and structured payments contemplated by the Plan. The Debtors operate, and the Reorganized Debtors will operate, in the highly competitive biopharmaceutical industry, where standard practice is for officer compensation to include significant proportions of equity awards and equity-based incentives, which will be reflected in the Management Incentive Plan. Failure to provide for the Management Incentive Plan would, therefore, jeopardize the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to attract, retain, and incentivize talented management personnel for the go-forward business. Moreover, the Management Incentive Plan most directly affects the recovery of the Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims, who are otherwise receiving all or nearly all of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares on the Effective Date. A substantial majority of those Holders are Supporting Parties (i.e. , parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement) and, therefore, support the Management Incentive Plan contemplated by the Plan.

 

  F.

Prepetition Retention Payments

The Debtors’ management team’s immediate goal prior to filing the Chapter 11 Cases was to maintain stability with their workforce, vendors, customers and distributors.

On September 1, 2020, the below referenced named executive officers (“NEOs”) of the Debtors entered into award agreements issued pursuant to the 2020/2021 executive retention bonus program (“2020/2021 ERBP”) for cash-based retention bonus awards. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Debtors’ Board of Directors (the “HRCC”), following extensive consultation with their compensation and legal advisors, approved the 2020/2021 ERBP, including the cash retention bonuses made thereunder (each, a “Retention Bonus”) and a form of retention bonus agreement (the “Retention Bonus Agreement”). The full Board approved Mr. Mark Trudeau’s Retention Bonus. The Retention Bonus amounts reflect each named executive officer’s base salary multiplied by 1.5.

The 2020/2021 ERBP was implemented to demonstrate the Debtors’ support for its employees, including certain members of the management team. The Retention Bonuses enabled the Debtors to retain and motivate certain executives through the volatile and uncertain environment affecting the Debtors’ business. The Retention Bonuses under the 2020/2021 ERBP were paid on September 3, 2020 and are subject to the executive’s obligation to repay the net after-tax bonus in the event that he resigns, retires, voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated by the Debtors for cause prior to the earlier of (x) May 15, 2022, and (y) the date the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy. The aggregate amount of the Retention Bonuses paid to the NEOs was approximately $ 5.2 million. The Retention Bonuses received by the Debtors’ executive officers are set forth in the table below.

Name

  

Title

   Retention Bonus  

Mark Trudeau

   President and Chief Executive Officer    $ 1,575,000  

Mark Casey

   Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer    $ 900,000

Bryan Reasons

   Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer    $ 900,000  

Steven Romano

   M.D., Executive Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer    $ 930,000  

The Retention Bonuses were announced in the Debtors’ Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on September 8, 2020. The Debtors do not believe any of the foregoing transactions constitute a fraudulent conveyance, preference, or would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code.

Retention of the Debtors’ Advisors

The Debtors have needed to engage various advisors in connection with the Opioid Litigations (and the MDL), the Opioid Settlement, the Specialty Brands litigations, the Acthar Settlement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, and these Chapter 11 Cases. Specifically, the Debtors’ primary professional advisors include (a) AlixPartners LLP (“AlixPartners”), restructuring consultant and financial advisor to the Debtors; (b) Latham & Watkins LLP (“Latham”), legal co-counsel to the Debtors; (c) Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. (“RLF”), legal co-counsel to the Debtors; (d) Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz (“Wachtell”), legal co-counsel to the Debtors; (e) Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes”), special litigation counsel to the Debtors; (f) Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim Securities”), investment banker to the Debtors; (g) Prime Clerk LLC (“Prime Clerk”), claims and noticing agent to the Debtors; (h) Hogan Lovells US LLP (“Hogan Lovells”), as special counsel to the Debtors; and (i) Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP (“A&P”), as special counsel to the Debtors related to regulatory, antitrust and litigation matters. All of the aforementioned advisors have been retained in these Chapter 11 Cases, as set forth in Section IV below.

 

  H.

The Specialty Generics Independent Directors

Further, on August 30, 2019, certain boards of directors of the Specialty Generics Debtors, acting by unanimous written consent in lieu of a special meeting, appointed Marc Beilinson and Sherman Edmiston III as disinterested managers (the “Disinterested Managers”) of the Specialty Generics Debtors. The Disinterested Managers were subsequently appointed to additional boards of directors of the Specialty Generics Debtors. On December 17, 2019, the Disinterested Managers engaged legal counsel, Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (“Katten”), to render legal services at the direction of the Disinterested Managers.

In connection with ongoing restructuring efforts, the boards of directors of the Specialty Generics Debtors delegated certain authority to the Disinterested Managers pursuant to certain resolutions adopted via unanimous written consent in lieu of a special meeting, dated February 27, 2020 (the “Delegating Resolutions”). Pursuant to the Delegating Resolutions, the boards of directors of the Specialty Generics Debtors delegated to the Disinterested Managers certain rights, authority and powers in connection with reviewing and acting upon any matter arising in or related to, among other things, intercompany balances, intercompany agreements and intercompany transactions between the Specialty Generics Debtors and affiliates (collectively, the “Intercompany Matters”).

On November 2, 2020, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Application For Entry Of An Order Authorizing The Employment And Retention Of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP As Counsel To The Specialty Generics Debtors, At The Sole Direction Of The Disinterested Managers, Effective Nunc Pro Tunc To The Petition Date [Docket No. 381] (the “Katten Retention Application”). Pursuant to the Katten Retention Application, the Specialty Generics Debtors determined that the retention of independent counsel, acting at the sole direction of the Disinterested Managers, was necessary to the Disinterested Managers fulfilling their fiduciary duties in these Chapter 11 Cases, including with respect to investigating and assessing the Intercompany Matters, and that the employment of Katten would be in the best interest of the Specialty Generics Debtors’ estates.

 

57


On November 19, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting Debtors’ Application For Entry Of An Order Authorizing The Employment And Retention Of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP As Counsel To The Specialty Generics Debtors, At The Sole Direction Of The Disinterested Managers, Effective Nunc Pro Tunc To The Petition Date [Docket No. 561] approving the Disinterested Directors’ engagement of Katten.

EVENTS DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASES

 

  A.

Commencement of Chapter 11 Cases

After the execution of the Restructuring Support Agreement, also on October 12, 2020, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors continue managing their operations in the ordinary course pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  B.

First Day Motions

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed multiple motions seeking various relief from the Bankruptcy Court and authorizing the Debtors to maintain their operations in the ordinary course (the “First Day Motions”). Such relief was aimed at ensuring a seamless transition between the Debtors’ prepetition and postpetition business operations, facilitating a smooth reorganization through the chapter 11 process, and minimizing disruptions to the Debtors’ businesses. The Bankruptcy Court granted substantially all of the relief requested in the First Day Motions and entered various orders authorizing the Debtors to, among other things:

 

   

Continue paying employee wages and benefits and processing workers’ compensation claims [Docket No. 510];

 

   

Continue the use of the Debtors’ cash management system, bank accounts, and business forms [Docket No. 552];

Subsequently, on October 21, 2020, the Debtors filed an Amended Complaint and Supplemental Motion for Injunctive Relief Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 105, seeking relief in respect of certain prepetition proceedings commenced against third parties inextricably bound to the Debtors [Docket No. 16 in Adv. Pro. No. 20-50850]. On November 23, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court granted both motions, entering 270- day injunctions staying government plaintiffs and certain other plaintiffs from pursuing claims against the Debtors and certain non-debtor parties [Docket No. 164 in Adv. Pro. No. 20-50850].

 

  D.

Procedural Motions

The Debtors have filed and received approval of various motions regarding procedural issues common to other chapter 11 cases of similar size and complexity, including approval of a motion for entry of an order establishing procedures for the interim compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals [Docket No. 770], a motion for entry of an order extending the time for the Debtors to file their schedules and statements until December 24, 2020 [Docket No. 461] and a motion for entry of an order authorizing the Debtors to employ professionals used in the ordinary course of business [Docket No. 474].

New PharmaTop LP subsequently resigned from the UCC after its claim was paid in full in connection with the Debtors’ assumption of its executory contract as part of the IP Restructuring (described further below). The UCC has retained Cooley LLP and Robinson & Cole LLP, as co-counsel, Alvarez & Marsal and Dundon Advisers LLC as co-financial advisors.

  G.

Bar Date Motion

On October 20, 2020, the Debtors filed a motion seeking entry of an order establishing deadlines to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases and approval of related procedures. On November 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 667] (the “Bar Date Order”) establishing certain deadlines for the filing of proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases. By the Bar Date Order, the Bankruptcy Court established February 16, 2021 at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time (the “General Bar Date”) as

 

 

59


the general deadline for all Entities other than Governmental Units to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases for all claims other than Opioid Claims against the Debtors that arose or are deemed to have arisen prior to the Petition Date, including, but not limited to, secured claims, priority claims, asbestos-related claims, and claims arising under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code (each such claim, a “General Claim”), except as otherwise provided in the Bar Date Order. By the Bar Date Order, the Court also established April 12, 2021 at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time (the “Governmental Bar Date”) as the general deadline for all Governmental Units to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases for all claims other than Opioid Claims against the Debtors that arose or are deemed to have arisen prior to the Petition Date, except as otherwise provided in the Bar Date Order. No deadline to file Opioid Claims has been set by the Bankruptcy Court.

In addition to the General Bar Date and Governmental Bar Date described above, any Entity asserting claims arising from or relating to the Debtors’ rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court that is entered prior to confirmation of a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases is required to file a proof of claim on or before the later of: (a) the General Bar Date; and (b) 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, on the date that is 30 days after the effective date of rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease. Further, as described in the Bar Date Order, if the Debtors amend or modify schedule D, E, or F of the schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs filed in the Chapter 11 Cases to reduce the undisputed, non-contingent and liquidated amount or to change the nature or classification of any General Claim against the Debtors, the affected claimant may file a timely proof of claim or amend any previously filed proof of claim in respect of the amended scheduled claim on or before the later of (a) the General Bar Date or (b) 30 days after the date that notice of the applicable amendment to the schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs is served on the affected claimant.

 

  H.

On November 2, 2020, the Debtors filed the Motion of Debtors for Order Authorizing Intercompany Restructuring Transactions [Docket No. 385] requesting authority to implement certain intercompany restructuring transactions relating to certain intellectual property of the Specialty Brands business. Following substantial negotiations with the Debtors’ major creditor constituencies, the Court entered an order approving this motion on November 25, 2020 [Docket No. 633]. Thereafter, on December 24, 2020, the transactions contemplated by this motion and order were consummated.

  J.

The Voluntary Injunction and Appointment of the Monitor

Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors agreed to 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. Specifically, the Restructuring Support Agreement required the Debtors within one week after the Petition Date to file with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking to impose a voluntary injunction on the Debtors to enjoin them from engaging in certain conduct related to the manufacture, marketing, sale, and distribution of opioids effective as of the Petition Date (the “Voluntary Injunction”). Further, the Restructuring Support Agreement requires that the Confirmation Order (or a separate order of the Bankruptcy Court) extend the Voluntary Injunction to govern the Reorganized Debtors’ operations after the Effective Date. The Debtors engaged in negotiations over the terms of the Voluntary Injunction with the Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants ( i.e., the 50 U.S. states and territories that became parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement) and also consulted with the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders regarding same. As such, pursuant to the Voluntary Injunction Motion filed on the Petition Date, the Debtors also voluntarily requested the Bankruptcy Court to subject certain Debtors, namely, Mallinckrodt Enterprises LLC, Mallinckrodt LLC, and SpecGx LLC (collectively, the “VI-Specific Debtors”) to the terms of the Voluntary Injunction.

On January 8, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting Certain Debtors’ Motion For Injunctive Relief Pursuant To 11 U.S.C. § 105 With Respect To The Voluntary Injunction [Docket No. 196 in Adv. Pro. No. 20-50850] (the “Voluntary Injunction Order”) binding the VI-Specific Debtors to the terms of the Voluntary Injunction. Specifically, the Voluntary Injunction provides, among other things and in pertinent part, that the VI-Specific Debtors shall not engage in the promotion of opioids or opioid products, including but not limited to, by:

 

   

employing or contracting with sales representatives or other persons to promote opioids or opioid products to health care providers or patients or to persons that influence or determine the opioid products included in formularies; (b) using speakers, key opinion leaders, thought leaders, lecturers, and/or speaking events for promotion of opioids or opioid products;

 

   

sponsoring, or otherwise providing financial support or in-kind support to medical education programs relating to opioids or opioid products;

 

   

creating, sponsoring, operating, controlling, or otherwise providing financial support or in-kind support to any website, network, and/or social or other media account for the promotion of opioids or opioid products;

 

   

creating, sponsoring, distributing, or otherwise providing financial support or in-kind support for materials promoting opioids or opioid products, including but not limited to brochures, newsletters, pamphlets, journals, books, and guides;

 

   

creating, sponsoring, or otherwise providing financial support or in-kind support for advertisements that promote opioids or opioid products, including but not limited to internet advertisements or similar content, and providing hyperlinks or otherwise directing internet traffic to advertisements; and

 

   

engaging in internet search engine optimization or other techniques designed to promote opioids or opioid products by improving rankings or making content appear among the top results in an internet search or otherwise be more visible or more accessible to the public on the internet.

Please refer to Annex I of the Voluntary Injunction Order for more details of the terms of the Voluntary Injunction.

 

 

62


Pursuant to section VI of the Voluntary Injunction, the VI-Specific Debtors were required to retain an outside, independent individual to evaluate and monitor their compliance with the Voluntary Injunction, who will serve at the cost and expense of the VI-Specific Debtors (the “Monitor”). Further, section VI.A.3 of the Voluntary Injunction required that the VI-Specific Debtors propose a list of three individuals, groups of individuals, or firms to serve as the proposed Monitor within 30 days of the Petition Date.

Shortly after the Petition Date, and in accordance with the terms of the Voluntary Injunction, the VI-Specific Debtors launched a search process for the selection of the proposed Monitor, and on November 11, 2020, the VI-Specific Debtors proposed three (3) highly qualified candidates to the Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants. On December 11, 2020, after careful consideration, the Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants ultimately agreed to jointly support, with the VI-I Specific Debtors, the selection of Mr. R. Gil Kerlikowske as the Monitor.

On January 21, 2021, the Debtors filed the Joint Motion Of Debtors And Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee For Entry Of An Order (I) Appointing R. Gil Kerlikowske As Monitor For Voluntary Injunction And (II) Approving The Monitor’s Employment Of Saul Ewing As Counsel At The Cost And Expense Of The Debtors [Docket No. 1203] (the “Monitor Motion “) seeking entry of an order (a) approving the Monitor, (b) permitting the VI-Specific Debtors to retain the Monitor pursuant to the terms set forth in a separate monitor agreement entered into by the Monitor and the VI-Specific Debtors, and (c) approving the Monitor’s employment of legal counsel Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP (“Saul Ewing”).

Mr. Kerlikowske’s long law enforcement and regulatory career made him uniquely qualified to serve as the Monitor. Mr. Kerlikowske, among other things, served from 2009-2014 as the Director for the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP)—the Presidentially appointed “U.S. Drug Czar.” Pursuant to the Voluntary Injunction, Mr. Kerlikowske, as Monitor, is responsible for evaluating and monitoring the VI-Specific Debtors’ compliance with the Voluntary Injunction, including by, among other things, filing periodic reports with the Bankruptcy Court regarding the VI-Specific Debtors’ compliance with the Voluntary Injunction.

On February 8, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Appointing R. Gil Kerlikowske As Monitor For Voluntary Injunction And (II) Approving The Monitor’s Employment Of Saul Ewing As Counsel At The Cost And Expense Of The Debtors [Docket No. 1306] thereby appointing R. Gil Kerlikowske, through Gil Kerlikowske LLC as the Monitor and approving his retaining of Saul Ewing and his compensation and the monitor agreement.

Please refer to Exhibit C of the Monitor Motion and the Voluntary Injunction Order for more details of the terms of the Monitor’s compensation, scope of authority, and responsibilities.

The Monitor has filed and will be filing periodic reports with the Bankruptcy Court as required by the Voluntary Injunction Order. Any such reports may be found on the Bankruptcy Court docket.

First Lien Term Lender Joinder and Mandatory Prepayment

On February 17, 2021, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Motion For Order (I) Authorizing Use Of Cash Collateral Other Than In The Ordinary Course Of Business, (II) Granting Limited Relief From The Automatic Stay, And (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 1441] (the “ECF Prepayment Motion”). Under the ECF Prepayment Motion, the Debtors sought to make a mandatory excess cash flow (“ECF”) prepayment to the First Lien Term Lenders in the amount of $114 million that is required under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Debtors argued in the ECF Prepayment Motion that the prepayment of the ECF amounts was warranted in order to best position the Debtors in any plan confirmation litigation over reinstatement of the First Lien Term Loans by mooting arguments that there would be a default to the extent such payments were not made.

 

63


Before the Bankruptcy Court ruled on the ECF Prepayment Motion, on March 10, 2021, the Debtors announced it reached an agreement with the Ad Hoc First Lien Term Lender Group to support the Debtors’ Restructuring Support Agreement and entered into that certain Joinder Agreement and Amendment to the Restructuring Support Agreement. On that same day, the Debtors filed the Notice of Filing of Joinder Agreement and Amendment to Restructuring Support Agreement, Dated as of March 10, 2021 [Docket No. 1631].

As discussed above, the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement was based on, among other things, providing new term loans financing to replace the First Lien Term Loans and settled several complex and open disputes between the Debtors and the First Lien Term Loan Lenders as to how such lenders are to be treated under the Plan, the amount of their Claims, among other issues, and served to extend near-term debt maturities and provide the Debtors with clear runway to refinance the First Lien Term Loan Claims at their option.

Further, as part of their broader integrated settlement and compromise, the Debtors and the Supporting Term Lenders agreed to settle under Rule 9019 of the Bankruptcy Rules their dispute with respect to the amount and manner of payment of the ECF prepayment required to be made to the First Lien Term Lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement for fiscal year 2020. The parties agreed that the Debtors shall satisfy their obligation to make the 2020 ECF prepayment with a payment in cash in the amount of $114 million. The material terms of the treatment bargained for under the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement for the Ad Hoc First Lien Term Lender Group is included in the Plan.

After agreeing to the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement and settling the ECF prepayment, on March 11, 2021, the Debtors filed their Debtors’ Supplement To The Motion For Order (I) Authorizing Use Of Cash Collateral Other Than In The Ordinary Course Of Business, (II) Granting Limited Relief From The Automatic Stay, And (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 1659] (the “Supplemental ECF Motion”) supplementing their prior request under the ECF Prepayment Motion to pay $114 million in ECF prepayments to the First Lien Term Lenders.

Under the Supplemental ECF Motion, the Debtors explained that after finalizing their fiscal 2020 reporting, they believed the proper ECF prepayment amount is $113.9 million. Absent the settlement, the Supplemental ECF Motion stated that the First Lien Term Loan Lenders would potentially advocate for an ECF prepayment significantly greater amount than $114 million. The Debtors proposed paying the settled $ 114 million amount to avoid further disputes regarding the amount of the ECF prepayment, and to settle any disputes regarding the manner in which the prepayment is made. The Supplemental ECF Motion stressed that no other aspects of the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement are being sought to be approved under the ECF Prepayment Motion or Supplemental ECF Motion.

On March 16, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting Motion For Order (I) Authorizing Use Of Cash Collateral Other Than In The Ordinary Course Of Business, (II) Granting Limited Relief From The Automatic Stay, And (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 1745] (the “ECF Prepayment Order”) granting the Debtors’ Supplemental ECF Motion to make the $114 million ECF prepayment to the First Lien Term Loan Lenders. The ECF Prepayment Order was entered after the Debtors resolved an objection by the First Lien Agent.

Prior to the filing of this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors made the ECF prepayment in the amount of approximately $114 million to the First Lien Term Loan Lenders in accordance with the ECF Prepayment Order, and the Term Loans Outstanding Amount has been updated to reflect such payment.

Settlement Discussions Regarding First Lien Notes Claims

Beginning on June 1, 2021, the Debtors commenced discussions and negotiations with the members of a certain ad hoc group of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes with respect to the possible treatment of their claims in respect of the First Lien Notes under the Plan. As of June 14, 2021, the Debtors have not reached agreement with such Holders as to the terms of a settlement. The most recent drafts of term sheets relating to the terms of a proposed settlement are set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Mallinckrodt plc on June 14, 2021. The Debtors may continue negotiations with such Holders or other Holders of the First Lien Notes or the Second Lien Notes in the future and the terms of any settlement reached may be different from the treatment of the First Lien Notes or the Second Lien Notes currently set forth in the Plan and in the recoveries set forth above in this Disclosure Statement.

Exclusivity

Section 1121(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides for a period of 120 days after the commencement of a chapter 11 case during which time a debtor has the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization (the “Exclusive Plan Period”). In addition, section 1121(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that if a debtor files a plan within the Exclusive Plan Period, it has a period of 180 days after commencement of the chapter 11 case to obtain acceptances of such plan, before the expiration of which no other party in interest may file a plan (the “Exclusive Solicitation Period,” and together with the Exclusive Plan Period, the “Exclusive Periods”). Pursuant to section 1121(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court may, upon a showing of cause, extend the Exclusive Periods.

On February 9, 2021 the Debtors filed a motion for an order (a) extending the Exclusive Plan Period by 180 days through and including August 9, 2021, and (b) extending the Exclusive Solicitation Period by 180 days through and including October 11, 2021 [Docket No. 1341]. On February 25, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the Debtors’ motion thereby extending the Exclusive Periods.

The Key Employee Incentive Plan

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors employed approximately 3,000 employees in the U.S. and internationally. The Debtors have historically maintained incentive and compensation programs designed to attract, retain, or incentivize key employees.

On March 9, 2021, the Debtors filed the Motion Of Debtors For Order (I) Approving The Q4 2020 Payment Under The 2020 Key Employee Incentive Plan, (II) Approving The Debtors’ 2021 Key Employee Incentive Plan, And (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 1628] (the “KEIP Motion”), seeking approval of the Debtors’ key employee incentive programs (the “KEIP”).

The Debtors’ KEIP, as further described in the KEIP Motion, requested an Order (a) approving payment under the Debtors’ 2020 KEIP (the “2020 KEIP”) for twelve Insiders (as defined in the KEIP Motion) (collectively, the “KEIP Participants”) for the Debtors’ fourth fiscal quarter ending on December 25, 2020 (“Q4”); (b) approving the structure of the Debtors’ 2021 KEIP (the “2021 KEIP,” and together with the 2020 KEIP, the “Compensation Plans”) for the KEIP Participants for the Debtors’ 2021 fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021, subject to achievement of certain objectives, that appropriately incentivize the KEIP Participants in connection with the Debtors’ restructuring efforts. The United States Trustee, the UCC, and the OCC objected to the KEIP Motion. Prior to the KEIP Motion hearing, the Debtors reached a settlement on the KEIP with the OCC. The Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on the KEIP Motion on March 31 and April 1, 2021 and was provided with live testimony and documentary evidence.

 

 

65


On April 5, 2021, after hearing all of the evidence in connection with the contested hearing, the Bankruptcy Court overruled the United States Trustee’s and the UCC’s objections and entered the Order (I) Approving The Q4 2020 Payment Under The 2020 Key Employee Incentive Plan, (II) Approving The Debtors’ 2021 Key Employee Incentive Plan, And (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 1954] (the “KEIP Order”) thereby approving the structure of the 2021 KEIP as well as the Q4 payment on account of the 2020 KEIP. Specifically, the Bankruptcy Court in the KEIP Order determined, among other things, that the KEIP is a true incentive plan with challenging metrics for participants to meet to qualify for the payments. The KEIP Order also includes a clawback provision and provides the OCC with additional discovery in connection with its investigations.

The KEIP Motion and the KEIP Order, together, contain a fulsome description of the KEIP Participants, targets, and metrics of the Compensation Plans, and are all available on the Bankruptcy Court’s docket at the above referenced docket numbers.

Appointment of a FCR

On October 13, 2020, the Debtors filed the Motion Of Debtors For Entry Of An Order Appointing Roger Frankel, As Legal Representative For Future Claimants, Effective As Of The Petition Date [Docket No. 189] (the “Future Claimants Representative Motion”) seeking to appoint Roger Frankel as the FCR. The role of the FCR is to represent “individuals who may assert in the United States a claim or claims in the future against a Debtor for harm arising out of the use of opioid products prior to the effective date of the Debtors’ plan or plans of reorganization” and whose claim “is to be addressed by a trust established to assume the liabilities of the Debtors for damages allegedly caused by the use of opioid products.” The Debtors sought the appointment of the FCR effective as of the Petition Date. The FCR has standing to represent such future claimants “in all matters” relating to the Debtors’ case and the powers and duties of a committee appointed under Bankruptcy Code section 1103.

The Debtors believe that the appointment of the FCR is critically important to represent any future claimants’ interests, including with respect to negotiating the Plan, the terms of the Opioid MDT II Documents, the Opioid MDT II, the Opioid Permanent Channeling Injunction, and the structure and terms of any compensation to such claim holders.

The Debtors chose Mr. Frankel to act as the FCR on February 24, 2020 after evaluating several potential candidates and after Mr. Frankel served as the prepetition representative of future claimants. The FCR’s professionals include the FCR’s law firm, Frankel Wyron LLP, as well as Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, as counsel, Greenberg Traurig, LLP as special counsel, Ducera Partners LLC as investment banker, NERA Economic Consulting as consultant, and Laurence Westreich MD LLC, as medical consultant.

On November 28, 2020, the OCC filed The Official Committee Of Opioid Related Claimants’ (I) Request For Adjournment Of Or, In The Alternative, Objection To Motion Of Debtors To Appoint Future Claimants Representative And (II) Cross-Motion To Compel Debtors To Establish Bar Date And Noticing Program For Opioid Claimants [Docket No. 658] (the “OCC FCR Objection”). The OCC FCR Objection asserted, among other things, that the appointment of the FCR was premature and undermined the OCC’s mandate and responsibilities.

The Debtors agreed with the OCC, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group to mediation and deferred litigation on the appointment of the FCR and prosecution of the OCC FCR Objection.

 

66


On March 16, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order Provisionally Appointing Roger Frankel As Legal Representative For Future Claimants [Docket No. 1747] for the purposes of permitting the FCR to participate in an ongoing mediation over the allocation of the Opioid MDT II. On June 11, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Appointing Roger Frankel, as Legal Representative for Future Claimants, Effective as of the Petition Date [Docket No. 2813] (the “FCR Order”) appointing the FCR on a permanent basis.

Since the FCR’s provisional appointment, the FCR has been in discussions with the Debtors and other parties with respect to the implementation of the Opioid Settlement, including with respect to the Opioid MDT II and the PI Trust, including, without limitation, the distribution procedures under the aforementioned trusts. The FCR is still reviewing the Plan and draft documents relating to the Opioid MDT II and the PI Trust. These documents are not final and remain subject to further negotiation. The FCR and other parties need more time to complete this process. Until these documents are further negotiated and the FCR is finished with its assessment, the FCR is not in a position to determine whether to support the Plan.

The Debtors’ Diligence Related to the Plan Releases

Prior to these Chapter 11 Cases, on June 28, 2013, Debtor Mallinckrodt plc and certain of its subsidiaries were formed through a spinoff from an entity named Covidien plc25 (the “Spin-Off”). Since then, Debtor Mallinckrodt plc has grown considerably, including through strategic acquisitions of branded pharmaceutical and device products and its own research and development. After the Spin-Off and in the ordinary course of business, Debtor Mallinckrodt plc undertook certain strategic and/or financial transactions in light of ordinary course business operations, including certain mergers, acquisitions, and the exchanges of debt (any such transaction or any combination of the foregoing, a “Post Spin-Off Transaction”).

The Debtors’ Plan contemplates the Debtor Release, which includes the Debtors’ releasing, among other things, any and all Claims, counterclaims, disputes, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, liens, remedies, losses, contributions, indemnities, costs, liabilities, attorneys’ fees and expenses whatsoever, including any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of the Debtors against each of the Debtors’ current and former directors and officers, each Debtor Entity and each of their current and former directors and officers, and certain other parties in connection with or related to, among other things, the Spin- Off, the Post Spin-Off Transaction, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Chapter 11 Cases, and the Restructuring Transactions.

On numerous occasions during these Chapter 11 Cases, the UCC and OCC have both expressed their desire to investigate the propriety of the releases under the Plan, including the Debtor Release. They have suggested that one of their goals during these Chapter 11 Cases is to determine if there are any claims in connection with, among other things, certain prepetition debt exchanges, the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Restructuring Transactions therein, the decision to commence the Chapter 11 Cases, and the proposed recoveries to general unsecured creditors and opioid claim holders under the Plan, that are improper or should not otherwise be included in the Plan’s releases by the Debtors, including the Specialty Generics Debtors.

As such, on or around March 30, 2021, the Specialty Generics Debtors’ Board of Directors resolved to conduct further due diligence to evaluate the various releases under the Plan, including the Debtor Release. Specifically, the Specialty Generics Debtors’ Board of Directors delegated to the two Disinterested Managers the authority to conduct due diligence to evaluate the various releases under the Plan, including the Debtor Release, to determine whether they are in the best interests of the Specialty Generics Debtors and whether any matter arising in or related to the Spin-Off, the Post Spin-Off

Transaction, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Restructuring Transactions gives rise to any Cause of Action or Claim on behalf of any of the Specialty Generics Debtors that should not be included in the Plan’s releases. Similarly, at or around the same time, the Board of Directors for Debtor Mallinckrodt plc also determined to conduct due diligence to evaluate the various releases under the Plan, including the Debtor Release, in relation to Debtor Mallinckrodt plc. The Board of Directors for Debtor Mallinckrodt plc authorized two of its independent directors to conduct a similar due diligence process as to the releases to be given by the Debtors other than the Specialty Generics Debtors.

The objective of these due diligence exercises are two-fold: (a) to formulate a view on the propriety of the releases to be granted by the Specialty Generics Debtors and Debtor Mallinckrodt plc in favor of their directors and officers and Affiliates under the Plan and (b) for the Specialty Generics Debtors and Debtor Mallinckrodt plc to determine if any matter arising in or related to the Spin-Off, the Post Spin-Off Transaction, the Chapter 11 Cases, the Restructuring Support Agreement, or the Restructuring Transactions gives rise to any Cause of Action or Claim against any of the Specialty Generics Debtors or Debtor Mallinckrodt plc that should not be included in the releases under the Plan. These efforts are ongoing and will continue as the UCC and OCC pursue their respective investigations.

Extension of the Challenge Period Under the Cash Collateral Order

On March 10, 2021, the UCC filed its Motion Of The Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors (1) For An Order Pursuant To Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Authorizing Discovery Of The Debtors And Third Parties, And (2) For An Order Extending Period To (A) Challenge The Debtors’ Stipulations As Set Forth In The Final Cash Collateral Order And (B) Assert Related Claims Or Causes Of Actions [Docket No. 1632] (the “UCC 2004 Motion”). Under the UCC 2004 Motion, the UCC sought (a) authority from the Bankruptcy Court to conduct discovery of the Debtors pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 and (b) an extension of the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order). The UCC asserted in that discovery of the Debtors was necessary to conduct its essential investigation of the Debtors’ assets and liabilities, the merits of the Restructuring Support Agreement, and the prepetition conduct of the Debtors’ directors, officers and secured lenders, including related to certain debt restructuring efforts in 2019 and 2020.

On April 5, 2021, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Omnibus Objection To The Motion Of The Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors (1) For An Order Pursuant To Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Authorizing Discovery Of The Debtors And Third Parties, And (2) For An Order Extending Period To (A) Challenge The Debtors’ Stipulations As Set Forth In The Final Cash Collateral Order And (B) Assert Related Claims Or Causes Of Actions And To Humana Inc.’s Joinder Thereto [Docket No. 1944] (the “Rule 2004 Objection”). Pursuant to the Rule 2004 Objection, the Debtors objected to the UCC’s request for an extension to the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) based on, among other things, that the extension was unwarranted.

Additional objections to the UCC 2004 Motion were filed by, among others, an ad hoc First Lien Notes group (filed April 5, 2021), the First Lien Agent (filed April 7, 2021), and the Ad Hoc First Lien Term Lender Group (filed April 7, 2021). These objections generally echoed the Debtor arguments in the Rule 2004 Objection, i.e., that the Challenge Period Termination Date extension should be denied because the applicable parties have cooperated with all of the UCC’s discovery requests and the requested extension is not warranted under the circumstances.

On the eve of the hearing by the Bankruptcy Court to consider the UCC 2004 Motion, the Debtors and UCC resolved their discovery disputes. As such, on April 13, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Extending The Challenge Period Termination Date Set Forth In The Final Cash Collateral Order And (II) Denying The Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors’ Motion To Extend The

 

 

68


Challenge Period Termination Date As Moot [Docket No. 2022] (the “Challenge Period Order”). Pursuant to the terms of the Challenge Period Order, (a) the UCC 2004 Motion with respect to the relief related to the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) was denied as moot and (b) the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) was extended for 30 days (i.e., an extension to May 19, 2021) with respect to certain types of collateral and certain potential avoidance actions, giving the UCC, the OCC, and the FCR additional time to receive and review documents in connection with its investigation.

On May 26, 2021, the Debtors, the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order), the First Lien Indenture Trustee (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order), the Second Lien Collateral Agent (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order), the UCC, the OCC, and the FCR entered into a Stipulation Extending The Challenge Period Termination Date Set Forth In The Final Cash Collateral Order [Docket No. 2576-1] (the “Challenge Period Stipulation”) further extending the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order). The Bankruptcy Court entered an Order approving the Challenge Period Stipulation on the same date [Docket No. 2576].

Specifically, under the Challenge Period Stipulation, the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) applicable to the OCC and the FCR (if any, solely with respect to the right to intervene in any challenge litigation) was extended to June 11, 2021 solely in respect of those potential actions seeking avoidance of the guarantees of, and liens securing, the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) provided by Mallinckrodt LLC, SpecGx LLC, SpecGx Holdings LLC and Mallinckrodt APAP LLC that would have been preserved for the OCC pursuant to the Cash Collateral Order if the OCC had timely filed a motion seeking standing to file an adversary proceeding asserting the Challenges (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) set forth in the draft complaint delivered by the OCC to the Debtors, the Administrative Agent, the First Lien Indenture Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent on May 19, 2021 (which Challenges seek avoidance of the guarantees of, and liens securing, the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) provided by Mallinckrodt LLC, SpecGx LLC, SpecGx Holdings LLC and Mallinckrodt APAP LLC on the grounds that the granting of such guarantees and liens constituted constructive fraudulent transfers).

Further, under the Challenge Period Stipulation, the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) applicable to the UCC and the FCR (if any, solely with respect to the right to intervene in any challenge litigation) was extended to July 2, 2021 solely in respect of potential actions challenging the validity, perfection, enforceability, priority or extent of any Prepetition Liens (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) on (i) insurance receivables; (ii) assets held in a rabbi trust; (iii) the Deposit Accounts set forth in Exhibit 1 to the Challenge Period Stipulation; and (iv) tax refunds (if any) for tax years ending after the Petition Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would include the foreign tax year ended in December 2020 for Mallinckrodt plc and certain foreign Debtors, but would exclude the U.S. tax year ended in September 2020 for certain domestic Debtors).

On June 11, 2021, the Debtors filed their Debtors’ Emergency Motion For Extension Of OCC/FCR Challenge Period Extension Date [Docket No. 2822] seeking a further extension to the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) applicable to the OCC and the FCR solely for the claims that the OCC wishes to preserve to June 25, 2021. That certain ad hoc First Lien Notes Group objected to the requested extension. On June 14, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Extending OCC/FCR Challenge Period Extension Date With Respect To OCC Challenges [Docket No. 2842] whereby the Bankruptcy granted the extension to the Challenge Period Termination Date (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) applicable to the OCC and the FCR solely for the claims that the OCC wishes to preserve to June 25, 2021.

Potential Estate Causes of Action

During the Chapter 11 Cases, various parties have asserted that the Estates may have meritorious Avoidance Actions in connection with the exchange transactions undertaken by the Debtors in December 2019 and April 2020 (i.e., the December 2019 Exchange Offer and the April 2020 Private Exchange), as further described in section II.C.2-3 of this Disclosure Statement. The Debtors disagree with that suggestion for a number of reasons, including that (a) the Debtors obtained substantial value in those transactions and (b) those transactions are likely subject to the safe harbor from avoidance provided under section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, in May 2021, the UCC confirmed publicly its intent not to pursue any Avoidance Actions relating to the December 2019 Exchange Offer and the April 2020 Private Exchange transactions on behalf of the Estates.

Relatedly, various parties have asserted that certain of the Debtors’ Estates may possess valuable Claims and Causes of Action, including Avoidance Actions, against other Debtors or the Non-Debtor Affiliates. As an initial matter, the Debtors have reviewed dozens of historical transactions amongst them and the Non-Debtor Affiliates and do not believe any of these Claims or Causes of Action would, if asserted, result in materially greater value being recovered by any individual creditor or group of creditors than the distributions contemplated by the Plan. Furthermore, the Debtors, through independent board members and counsel, are conducting two separate diligence processes—one for Specialty Generics and one for all the other Debtors—that will evaluate whether any material intercompany claims may be meritorious. Importantly, if any board of any Debtor determines that it would be inconsistent to release such Claims or Causes of Action (as contemplated by the Plan) in lieu of pursuing them, the Restructuring Support Agreement can be terminated by the Debtors’ board. Please see section IV.P of this Disclosure Statement titled “The Debtors’ Diligence Related to the Plan Releases” for more information regarding these diligence processes.

 

  Q.

The SEC Letter Regarding the Debtors’ Releases Under the Plan

On April 27, 2021, the SEC served the Debtors with a letter expressing its view on the Debtors’ releases under the Plan. The SEC expresses in its letter that, among other things, in its view, requiring creditor-investors, public shareholders and holders of subordinated claims to opt out of the non-debtor third-party releases in the Plan renders such releases non-consensual. The Debtors disagree with the SEC’s views on the non-debtor third-party release in the Plan.

Acthar Claims Related Litigation in these Chapter 11 Cases

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors faced, and continue to face, more than 25 claims seeking damages of over $15 billion, the majority of which are related to Acthar.

The Debtors and the plaintiffs in certain Prepetition Acthar Actions have been involved in claims related litigation in these Chapter 11 Cases. Specifically, these plaintiffs in the Prepetition Acthar Actions have filed Proofs of Claim, including putative class Proofs of Claim, in these Chapter 11 Cases against the Debtors for damages related to the sale and distribution of Acthar, including those claims asserted in the Prepetition Acthar Actions (the “Acthar Claims”, and such claimants the “Acthar Claimants”). The Acthar Claims are among the largest claims asserted against the Debtors, and the Acthar business is the largest contributor to product sales in the Debtors’ pharmaceutical portfolio.

Four of the Prepetition Acthar Actions are putative class actions: (a) City of Rockford v. Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC, No. 3:17-cv-50107 (N.D. Ill.) (“Rockford”), (b) Steamfitters Local 420 v. Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC, No. 2:19-cv-03047-BMS (E.D. Pa.) (“Steamfitters”), (c) United Ass’n of Plumbers & Pipefitter Local 322 of S. N.J. v. Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC, No. 1:20-cv-00188-RBK-KMW (D.N.J.) (“Plumbers”), and (d) City of Marietta v. Mallinckrodt ARD LLC, et al. No. 1:20-cv-00552- CC (N.D. Ga.) (“ Marietta”) (collectively, the “Prepetition Class Acthar Actions”). The putative class in Rockford is “All third party payors and their beneficiaries in the United States and its Territories that paid for Acthar from August

 

 

70


2007 through the present.”See Rockford, Second Amended Complaint ¶ 165, Dkt. No. 98. The putative class in Steamfitters is a subset of the putative class in Rockford: “All third-party payors and their beneficiaries in the United States and its Territories that paid for Acthar from August 2007 through the present for any unapproved indication or dose.”See Steamfitters, Complaint ¶ 445 (emphasis added), Dkt. No. 1. And the putative class in Plumbers is yet a different subset of the purported class in Rockford: “All third-party payors and their beneficiaries (1) who are current citizens and residents of the State of New Jersey, and (2) who, for purposes other than resale, purchased or paid for Acthar from August 27, 2007 through the present.” See Plumbers, Amended Complaint ¶ 419, Dkt. No. 40. The putative class in Marietta is comprised of “all third-party payors and their beneficiaries that paid for Acthar from four years prior to the filing of the Complaint on February 6, 2020 until the date of trial” and a subclass consisting of “all third-party payors and their beneficiaries and people without insurance in Georgia that paid for Acthar from within four years prior to the filing of the Complaint until the date of trial.”See Marietta, Complaint, ¶¶ 50, 51.

The Prepetition Acthar Actions allege, among other things, that the Acthar Claimants paid more for the drug Acthar than they otherwise would have paid, that the Debtors were unjustly enriched because of the illegal conduct, including preventing competition from entering the market that could have lowered the price of the drug, and violations of federal and state antitrust laws, federal RICO, and the consumer fraud laws of various states. The Debtors disagree with the aforementioned allegations. Notably, the two primary antitrust theories alleged in the Prepetition Acthar Actions have each been dismissed in certain of those actions, with the applicable courts accepting certain of the Debtors’ arguments made in support of dismissal. For example, one court has rejected a claim based on the acquisition of a license for a product called Synacthen by the Debtors’ predecessor, noting the claim for damages “at present appears to be entirely speculative and hypothetical” and explaining that the claimant “alleges neither that West has already secured FDA approval of Synacthen nor alleged any reasonable estimate regarding when the FDA will approve Synacthen or when Synacthen will actually be available for purchase in the U.S.”26 The same court also rejected the theory that the Debtors’ relationship with its exclusive distributor for Acthar, Express Scripts, is anticompetitive, ruling “[t]he Court is not persuaded by Plaintiff’s arguments that Defendant’s actions to limit distribution to a single distributor, Express Scripts, artificially maintained the price of Acthar because it prevented multiple distributors from negotiating to lower prices, because Defendant was still the only producer of Acthar and could thereby set whatever price it wished regardless of the number of distributors i[t] dealt with.“27

The parties asserting Acthar Claims include, among others, (a) Humana Inc. (“Humana”), which has asserted Acthar Claims arising from its purchase of over a billion dollars of Acthar, (b) Attestor Capital (“Attestor”), who has rights to participate in the Humana claim and also holds claims arising from over a billion dollars of other third party purchases of Acthar (Humana and Attestor, collectively referred to as the “Acthar Insurance Claimants”); (c) multiple individual plaintiffs and putative class representatives represented by the Haviland Hughes and Ciardi, Ciardi, & Astin firms (the “Acthar Ad Hoc Group”), which the Debtors understand from Rule 2019 statements includes one member of the UCC; and (d) the City of Marietta, Georgia.

Class Proof of Claim Objections

On April 30, 2021, the Debtors filed their Debtors’ Omnibus Objection To Class Proofs Of Claim [Docket No. 2164] and on May 8, 2021, the Debtors filed Debtors’ Objection to City of Marietta Class Proof of Claim [Docket No. 2231] (collectively, the “Class Proof of Claim Objections”) after the

putative class of plaintiffs in the Prepetition Class Acthar Actions filed approximately 162 class Proofs of Claim. The Debtors’ Class Proof of Claim Objections requested that the Bankruptcy Court disallow and otherwise bar the class Proofs of Claim filed in these Chapter 11 Cases by the plaintiffs in the Prepetition Class Acthar Actions. Specifically, the Debtors argued, among other things, that (a) the claims should be disallowed because they are procedurally improper, class treatment is unnecessary to protect the interests of putative class members, and they are burdensome to the Debtors’ estates and reorganization process; (b) the Bankruptcy Code does not provide for class proofs of claim, and the Third Circuit has never held that they are allowed; (c) even if there is no categorical bar to a class proof of claim, they are permitted at the discretion of the Court only in narrowly-defined circumstances that are not present with the filed claims, i.e., the claimants disobeyed proper procedure in filing the class Proofs of Claim; (d) no claimant had filed a motion for class certification or obtained class certification in the Prepetition Class Acthar Actions before such litigation was stayed; and (e) the vast majority of the class Proofs of Claim were filed against Debtors that are not defendants in the underlying Prepetition Class Acthar Actions (“Non-Defendant Debtors”). The Class Proof of Claim Objections seeks to disallow approximately $10.5 billion in class Proofs of Claim against the Debtors. The Prepetition Class Acthar Action Claimants have filed responses to the Class Proof of Claim Objections on the grounds that (a) class proofs of claim are permitted in the Third Circuit and (b) sufficient cause exists for the Court to invoke Bankruptcy Rule 7023 and allow the class Proofs of Claim.

Relatedly, also on April 30, 2021, the Debtors filed their Debtors’ First Omnibus Objection To Unsubstantiated Claims (Substantive) [Docket No. 2165] (the “First Proof of Claim Objection”) whereby they sought to disallow and expunge other Acthar Claims related to the Prepetition Acthar Actions, specifically, Proofs of Claim filed by Humana, among others. The Debtors argued in their First Proof of Claim Objection that these Acthar Claims are duplicative and/or unsubstantiated against all Debtors other than Mallinckrodt plc and ARD, to the extent those parties are the named defendants in the Prepetition Acthar Actions. The Acthar Insurance Claimants, the Acthar Ad Hoc Group, Marietta, among others purportedly holding Acthar Claims, continue to pursue the allowance of their filed Proofs of Claim and class Proofs of Claim and believe their Claims are valid and should be Allowed. In particular, in the Opposition of Attestor Limited and Humana Inc. to the Debtors’ First Omnibus Objection to “Unsubstantiated” Claims [Docket No. 2577], the Acthar Insurance Claimants argue, among other things, that (a) the Acthar Insurance Claimants have met the relatively low threshold for establishing prima facie valid claims and (b) there is ample evidence supporting the Acthar Insurance Claimants’ claims against entities outside of ARD and Mallinckrodt plc. The Debtors disagree and believe these Claims should be disallowed and/or otherwise expunged.

 

  2.

Discharge and Related Claim Litigation

Certain of the Acthar Claimants have also made other bankruptcy-specific arguments in the pursuit of their Acthar Claims, which caused the Debtors to commence litigation against the Acthar Claimants to respond to these arguments. Specifically, the Acthar Ad Hoc Group have maintained that the liabilities from the Acthar Claims may be non-dischargeable under section 1141(d)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors, in response, filed a Complaint for Determination and Declaration of Dischargeability of Alleged Claims and Debts of City of Rockford and a brief in support of summary judgment for their Complaint [Docket Nos. 1, 3 in Adv. Pr. No. 21-50428 (JTD)] (collectively, the “Discharge Action”). The Debtors’ papers in the Discharge Action reject the Acthar Ad Hoc Group’s position that any liability from the Acthar Claims are non-dischargeable under sections 1141(d)(6) and 523(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code as debts owed to a domestic governmental unit obtained by “false pretenses, a false representation, or actual fraud.” The Debtors’ Discharge Action seeks a determination that the City of Rockford’s Acthar Claims are dischargeable. The Debtors’ papers in the Discharge Action highlight that the City of Rockford’s fraud claims in its Prepetition Acthar Action was dismissed for failure to adequately plead the components of a valid fraud claim. The City of Rockford subject to the Discharge Action filed a motion to dismiss the Discharge Action on procedural grounds asserting, among other things, that the

 

 

72


City of Rockford has not moved to determine dischargeability [Docket No. 13 in Adv. Pr. No. 21-50428 (JTD)]. Also, under the Discharge Action, the Debtors seek to disallow $203 billion in unsubstantiated Proofs of Claim against the Non-Defendant Debtors because they do not reflect a present liability of the Debtors and are not supported by any basis stated in, or any documentation supplied with, the Proofs of Claim. This litigation remains ongoing before the Bankruptcy Court and will continue as the parties seek to resolve various issues in connection with this litigation.

On May 21, 2021, the City of Rockford in the Discharge Action filed the Defendant’s Brief In Opposition To Motion For Summary Judgment [Docket No. 21 in Adv. Pr. No. 21-50428 (JTD)] (the “Acthar Discharge Opposition”). The City of Rockford maintains that the Debtors’ Discharge Action simply seeks a tactical advantage and that, in any event, they should be granted leave to amend their complaint forming the basis for fraud in the Prepetition Acthar Action, and that the Debtors are not entitled to summary judgment because there are unresolved factual disputes in the litigation that require discovery.

The Acthar Discharge Opposition also argues that the Bankruptcy Court should rule on its motion to dismiss the Debtors’ Discharge Action before considering the Debtors’ summary judgment motion in connection to the Discharge Action. According to the Acthar Discharge Opposition, this is especially true, because the City of Rockford has requested substantial discovery related to the Debtors’ summary judgment request. The City of Rockford maintains that a litany of material facts remain in dispute between the parties, including the following: (a) the Debtors allegedly promoted the use of Acthar off-label in violation of FDA regulations; (b) the Debtors’ alleged fraudulent marketing efforts increased prescriptions for Acthar for off-label uses and in doses for which Acthar was not proven to be safe, effective or useful; and (c) the Debtors allegedly unlawfully promoted Acthar for usage in populations for which it had not received FDA approval and for which the safety and efficacy had not been established through adequate clinical evidence.

Further, the Acthar Discharge Opposition argues that the Debtors’ omnibus claim objection to “unsubstantiated” claims embedded in their Discharge Action ignored the “substantiation” provided in alleged timely filed proofs of claim and exhibits. The City of Rockford contends that the Debtors failed to prove that they have standing to object to those claims.

 

  3.

The Humana Claims Motions

On April 30, 2021, the Acthar Insurance Claimants filed two claims-related motions: (a) Motion Of Attestor Limited And Humana Inc. For Entry Of An Order Pursuant To 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(A) And 502(C) (I) Authorizing Estimation Of Humana’s Acthar-Related Claims And (II) Allowing Humana’s Acthar-Related Claims For All Purposes In These Bankruptcy Cases [Docket No. 2157] (the “Estimation Motion”) and (b) Motion Of Attestor Limited And Humana Inc. For Entry Of An Order Allowing And Compelling Payment Of Administrative Claims Pursuant To Section 503(B) Of The Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 2159] (the “Administrative Claim Motion”). The Acthar Insurance Claimants’ Estimation Motion seeks to estimate their Acthar Claims and their Administrative Claim Motion seeks allowance of an administrative expense claim against the Debtors arising from amounts paid for Acthar since the Petition Date. According to the Acthar Insurance Claimants’ motions, their general unsecured and alleged administrative Acthar Claims must be determined prior to confirmation because, among other reasons, the determination of the size of Humana’s Acthar Claims is necessary to determine if the Plan meets the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, including whether the Plan is feasible, whether it meets the “best interests of creditors” test and whether it does not unfairly discriminate amongst creditors. The Acthar Insurance Claimants also assert that resolution of the Estimation Motion and Administrative Claim Motion is necessary to determine whether the Debtors will continue to incur significant liability after emergence because the Debtors have not lowered the allegedly artificially inflated, supracompetitive price of Acthar. In the Administrative Claim Motion, the Acthar Insurance Claimants assert that the Debtors continue to practice illegal conduct in its sale of Acthar at overinflated prices which give rise to

 

 

73


tens of millions of dollars of administrative (or in the future, post-bankruptcy) claims each month arising from post-petition sales of Acthar (approximately $255.8 million through the end of March and averaging approximately $51.1 million each month). The Debtors maintain that the claims set forth in Humana’s Estimation Motion and Administrative Claim Motion are meritless because, among others, (a) applicable antitrust doctrines render them without merit, (b) there simply is no present continuation of the alleged conduct at issue, (c) any damages presently arising would merely be future damages from the original underlying action, (d) there is no generating of new claims currently, and (e) none of the Acthar Claimants, including the Acthar Insurance Claimants, has offered any evidence (nor is there any) that any alleged improper marketing is occurring now.

On May 21, 2021, the Debtors filed an objection to the Acthar Insurance Claimants’ Estimation Motion and Administrative Claim Motion [Docket No. 2521] (the “Humana Claims Objection”) . The Debtors argue in their Humana Claims Objection that the Estimation Motion and Administrative Claim Motion constitute an improper attempt by Attestor/Humana to estimate their administrative expenses and then have them allowed and paid immediately. The Debtors assert that the motions should be denied because section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code explicitly allows only “actual” administrative expenses, not estimated amounts. The Debtors also assert that no provision in the Bankruptcy Code requires immediate payment of administrative expenses, as requested by Attestor/Humana, as opposed to waiting until the plan Effective Date.

The Debtors contend that once these improper requests are set aside, the remaining aspects of the Estimation Motion and Administrative Claim Motion are either premature (such as estimating their administrative expenses for feasibility purposes) or unnecessary (such as estimating their pre-petition claims to determine feasibility or unfair discrimination). According to the Debtors, the Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date (as defined below) and objection process will most efficiently allow the Bankruptcy Court to determine whether there are actual administrative expenses through the Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date. At that point, if there are Administrative Claims, then it would be necessary to estimate any remaining administrative expenses through the plan confirmation process. The Debtors conclude the Humana Claims Objection by requesting the Bankruptcy Court to deny the Estimation Motion and Administrative Claim Motion.

All of the above litigation remains ongoing before the Bankruptcy Court and will continue as the parties seek to resolve various issues in connection with this litigation. The Debtors continue to oppose any and all allegations against them in the above referenced litigation. All parties’ rights in the above mentioned litigation remain reserved.

Acthar Administrative Claims and the Setting of an Administrative Claim Bar Date and Post-Reorganization Liabilities

The Debtors have continued post-petition, and intend to continue post-reorganization, to operate their Acthar-related business generally consistent with their historical practices, including those practices that are the subject of the Acthar Claims. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have net sales of approximately $200 million of Acthar using their historical pricing. The Acthar Claimants contend that such post-petition activity gives rise to post-petition claims entitled to administrative priority. The Debtors disagree.

On May 20, 2021, the Court entered the Admin Claims Bar Date Order (as defined below) [see Docket No. 2480], setting June 28, 2021 (i.e., Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date (as defined below)) as the deadline to file proofs of Administrative Claims. The Acthar Claimants contend that the Acthar Claimants’ Administrative Claims may reflect a substantial portion of all postpetition Acthar sales. Similarly, the Acthar Claimants contend that claims will continue to accrue post-reorganization. The Debtors disagree with both of the latter contentions.

 

 

74


The Acthar Claimants believe that the Administrative Claims asserted by Acthar Claimants and post-reorganization liabilities owed to Acthar Claimants for continuing to operate their Acthar-related business generally consistent with historical practices might create a risk regarding the feasibility of the Plan. The Debtors disagree and believe the Plan is feasible. Alternatively, because the Debtors are dependent on the historical practices related to Acthar, the Acthar Claimants believe that it may not be possible to fund the Plan without engaging in what has been alleged to be actionable historical operating and sales practices. The Debtors disagree with such assertion.

Generics Price Fixing Litigation

Certain other plaintiffs in the prepetition Generics Price Fixing Actions have also filed class Proofs of Claim in these Chapter 11 Cases against the Debtors that relate to the Specialty Generics side of the Debtors’ company, primarily against Debtor Mallinckrodt LLC (the “Generics Price Fixing Claims”). The claimants asserting Generics Price Fixing Claims include AFSCME District Council 47 Health and Welfare Fund (“DC 47”), which sits on the UCC, as will certain State Attorneys General in connection with their joint price fixing lawsuit against the Debtors and other generic drug manufacturers.28

The Debtors have no knowledge of any wrongdoing by them, by their employees, or by any other company or person, and neither the Debtors nor any of their current or former employees has been charged in connection with the Generics Price Fixing Actions. Moreover, none of the Debtors were added to the Generics Price Fixing Actions until December 2019–over three years after the litigation was filed. As of the Petition Date, there were eight cases pending against the Debtors: two putative class actions— filed by the End-Payer Plaintiffs (“EPPs”) and Direct-Purchaser Plaintiffs (“DPPs”); one action by the State Attorneys General; four direct actions by private plaintiffs; and one action by Suffolk County, New York. The Debtors believe that the DPPs have not filed a class claim, but the EPPs have (without authorization from the court to do so). The Debtors intend to object to the filed class claim.

The Generics Price Fixing Claims present similar issues from a bankruptcy perspective as the Acthar Claims: dischargeability of the claims, continuing conduct (i.e., administrative and post-bankruptcy claims), and the allowance of the class claims. This litigation remains ongoing before the Bankruptcy Court and will continue as the parties seek to resolve various issues in connection with this litigation.

Generics Price Fixing Lift Stay Motion

On April 20, 2021, the EPPs filed their End- Payer Plaintiffs’ Motion For Declaratory Relief, Or In The Alternative, Relief From The Automatic Stay And Waiver Of The Stay Imposed By Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4001 (the “EPP Lift Stay Motion”) [Docket No. 21 in Adv. Pr. No. 20-12522 (JTD)] seeking entry of an order declaring that the automatic stay does not preclude the discovery sought by the EPPs in the prepetition Generics Price Fixing Actions, and granting them relief from the automatic stay for cause. Pursuant to the EPP Lift Stay Motion, the EPPs argue that participation by the named Debtors in the Generics Price Fixing Actions is important and absent their ongoing meaningful participation, the plaintiffs in such actions risk substantial prejudice not only as to their case against the named Debtors, but also to a full and fair opportunity to prove their cases against the alleged co-conspirators in such cases.

The EPPs further argue that continuation of the Generics Price Fixing Actions against the named Debtors would allegedly not create any serious burden or prejudice to the Debtors’ Plan. They maintain that the directives of the District Court in the Generics Price Fixing Actions will allegedly not force the Debtors to expend significant time or financial resources on the discovery process. Further, they argue that attention of high-ranking executives will not be diverted from the reorganization process. Additionally,

75


they contend the majority of the Mallinckrodt-affiliated individuals involved in discovery in the Generics Price Fixing Actions are former employees, and none of the current employees identified as potential document custodians for discovery purposes are high-ranking directors or officers of Mallinckrodt known to be involved in the reorganization process. Finally, the EPPs maintain that litigation in the District Court will allegedly be less burdensome to all parties, including Mallinckrodt, than beginning proceedings from scratch in the bankruptcy forum.

The Debtors disagree with the EPPs assertions in the EPP Lift Stay Motion and opposes any order seeking to lift the stay to proceed with the Generics Price Fixing Actions. The Debtors intend to file an objection to the EPP Lift Motion in the near future.

The Administrative Claims Bar Date

On April 30, 2021, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Setting an Initial Bar Date for Filing Proofs of Administrative Claim, (II) Establishing Administrative Claims Procedures, (III) Approving the Form and Manner of Filing Proofs of Administrative Claim, (IV) Approving Notice of the Initial Administrative Claim Bar Date, and (V) Granting Related Relief (the “Admin Claims Bar Date Motion”) [Docket No. 2162] with the Bankruptcy Court.

A hearing to consider the relief requested in the Admin Claims Bar Date Motion was held before the Bankruptcy Court on May 20, 2021. At the hearing, the Bankruptcy Court indicated that it would approve the Admin Claims Bar Date Motion and enter the proposed order, subject to certain revisions being made to the proposed order. On that same date, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Setting An Initial Bar Date For Filing Proofs Of Administrative Claim (II) Establishing Administrative Claims Procedures, (III) Approving The Form And Manner Of Filing Proofs Of Administrative Claim, (IV) Approving Notice Of The Initial Administrative Claim Bar Date, And (V) Granting Related Relief (the “Admin Claims Bar Date Order”) [Docket No. 2480].

Pursuant to the Admin Claims Bar Date Order, each Person or Entity that asserts a claim (other than an Opioid Claim or VI Opioid Claim) (each as defined in the Admin Claims Bar Date Order) against the Debtors that arose after the Petition Date, but prior to April 30, 2021, at 11:59 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, shall be required to file an original, written proof of Administrative Claim (a “Proof of Administrative Claim”). Except in the cases of certain exceptions explicitly set forth in the Admin Claims Bar Date Order, all Proofs of Administrative Claim for any Administrative Claim arising on or prior to April 30, 2021, at 11:59 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, must be filed so that they are actually received by Prime Clerk by June 28, 2021, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time (the “Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date”).

The Admin Claims Bar Date Order sets forth certain categories of claimants that are not required to file a Proof of Administrative Claim by the Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date, which includes, among others, (a) any person or entity whose postpetition claim has previously been allowed by order of the Court; (b) any person or entity holding an Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims; (c) any current or former officer, director, or employee of any Debtor for claims based on wages, benefits (including retirement, pension, and other postemployment obligations), indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement; and (d) the United States Trustee, on account of claims for fees payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930. This list of categories is non-exhaustive. Please refer to the Admin Claims Bar Date Order for the complete list of categories of claimants who are not required to file a Proof of Administrative Claim by the Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date.

Nothing in the Plan or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court bars any party from asserting a Claim it believes to be an Administrative Claim. The Debtors reserve the right to object to any such Claim or Administrative Claim.

Contingent Claims Asserted Against the Debtors

A substantial number and amount of contingent Claims have been filed in these Chapter 11 Cases, including, substantial contingent Claims in connection with the Acthar Claims, Generics Price Fixing Claims, and Asbestos Claims, among others. For instance, the contingent litigation Claims in connection with the Acthar Claims and Generics Price Fixing Claims are described above in section IV.S-T of this Disclosure Statement.

The Plan seeks to limit General Unsecured Claims recoveries to the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool, which provides a recovery pool with an aggregate value of $100,000,000 for all General Unsecured Claims. Under the Plan, the Debtors retain the right to assert objections to these contingent Claims (other than Opioid Claims or Claims Allowed under the Plan) and, as such, the Allowance or disallowance of these contingent Claims may not be decided until after you vote on the Plan. The Allowance or disallowance of these contingent Claims (other than Opioid Claims or Claims Allowed under the Plan) either will be determined by, among other things, the Debtors’ claims reconciliation process that will likely take place after the Confirmation Hearing, the outcome of the Acthar Claims-related litigation described in Article IV.S above, any mediation involving the Debtors and the Holders of these contingent Claims, and any estimation motions or claim objections filed by the Debtors. While the Debtors believe the determination can occur post- confirmation, the Achtar Insurance Claimants strongly contend that the claims must be determined prior to confirmation of the Plan, as they believe such determination affects the Plan’s confirmability. The Allowance or disallowance of these contingent Claims, in whole or in part, will meaningfully affect recoveries and distributions to other Holders of General Unsecured Claims.

Opioid Claimant Mediation and Opioid Trusts

On February 3, 2021 the Debtors filed their Motion for Entry of an Order (A) Appointing a Mediator and (B) Establishing Mediation Procedures as Set Forth in the Proposed Order Filed [Docket No. 1276] requesting, among other things entry of an order (the “Opioid Mediation Order”) (a) appointing Kenneth R. Feinberg to mediate the allocation of the Opioid MDT II Consideration, and (b) establishing mediation procedures as set forth in the Opioid Mediation Order. The Bankruptcy Court entered the Opioid Mediation Order [Docket No. 1381] on February 11, 2021.

Mediation commenced on February 11, 2021. The mediation parties included: (a) the Debtors; (b) the OCC; (c) the Ad Hoc Group of NAS Children; (d) a certain ad hoc group of personal injury claimants (the “Ad Hoc Group of Personal Injury Claimants”); (e) the Governmental Ad Hoc Committee; (f) the MSGE Group; (g) counsel to Life Point Health System and counsel to various hospitals, including a putative class of hospital claimants; (h) counsel to a putative class of emergency room physicians; (i) counsel to Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, various third party payors and health insurance carrier plaintiffs; (j) counsel to Thornton Township High School District 205 and certain other public school districts as representatives of a putative class of school district class claimants; (k) counsel to the putative classes of purchasers of private health insurance represented by Stevens & Lee, P.C.; (l) the Federal Healthcare Agency Opioid Claimants (each as defined in the Opioid Mediation motion and Order); and (m) the FCR.

The mediation continued for approximately three months and resulted in the allocations set forth in the Plan for certain of the Holders of private Opioid Claims and for Holders of Opioid Claims represented by the mediation groups mentioned above (i.e., third-party payors, Hospitals, public schools, emergency room physicians, etc.). These allocations are the product of hard-fought negotiations and will be the subject of trust distribution procedures (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) to be filed with the Court on the earlier of (a) 30 days from entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (b) July 21, 2021. There are objecting opioid creditors who remain dissatisfied with their respective treatments and discussions with certain of those parties remain ongoing. The mediation resulted in

 

 

77


negotiated agreements that are subject to express conditions, including that a resolution is reached with the DOJ that is acceptable to certain public entities, members of the PI Trust, and the FCR, and that the public entities reach agreement on allocation issues with a critical mass of private entities, to be determined in the sole discretion of the relevant public entities. The negotiated agreements from the mediation are subject in all respects to the applicable parties reaching agreement on definitive documents, including the Plan and the relevant trust agreements and trust distribution procedures. The Debtors and Supporting Parties reserve all rights with respect to the proposed negotiated agreements in principle set forth in this section of the Disclosure Statement, and the proposed negotiated agreements in principle are subject to change.

  2.

The Opioid Trusts and Abatement

All Opioid Claims will be channeled to various opioid trusts as described in the Plan. Under the Plan, the vast majority of the funds directed to these various opioid trusts will be dedicated to programs to abate the opioid crisis. Most of the opioid trusts will have a mission to fund abatement of the opioid crisis. A substantial portion of the Opioid Settlement amount will flow into abatement trusts established for the benefit of states and localities, as well as other creditor groups such as Native American Tribes, hospitals, ratepayers, third-party payors, emergency room physicians, and children with a history of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and their guardians. These abatement trusts will require that the funds be dedicated exclusively to opioid abatement efforts, and there will be transparency to so ensure. There will also be a substantial portion of the Opioid Settlement amount that will be provided to a trust that will make distributions to qualified personal injury claimants – specifically, the PI Trust. Applicable trust documents (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time), which will be finalized and filed with the Court on the earlier of (a) 30 days from entry of the Disclosure Statement Order, and (b) July 21, 2021, will provide more detailed information with respect to each particular trust including information regarding, among other things, the mission, funding, and distribution procedures of a particular opioid trust.

 

  3.

The Public Opioid Creditor Trusts

Public Creditor Trusts. The Plan also provides for the establishment of two public creditor trusts, the National Opioid Abatement Trust II (the “NOAT II”), on account of the State Opioid Claims and the Municipal Opioid Claims, and the TAFT II, on account of the Tribe Opioid Claims. All value distributed to the NOAT II and the TAFT II will be exclusively dedicated to programs designed to abate the opioid crisis and for no other purpose, other than to fund administration of the programs themselves and to pay fees and costs, including through the funding of the Opioid Attorneys’ Fee Fund, which will be established for reimbursement of State Opioid Claimant, Municipal Opioid Claimant, and Tribe Opioid Claimant costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees). The Opioid Attorneys’ Fee Fund will be funded in an amount and structure to be agreed upon by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group from the Public Opioid Creditor Share.

A schedule of the distributions to be received by the NOAT II and the TAFT II is set forth below:

 

     Allocation Between the  

Aggregate Amount Distributable

   NOAT II and the TAFT II

over $625 million – $1.25 billion

     97.05     2.95

over $1.25 billion

     97     3.0

National Opioid Abatement Trust II. The funds distributed to the NOAT II under the Plan will be allocated to each State for use within that State based on a detailed mediation and settlement framework for the NOAT II that resulted in a detailed methodology for determining the percentage of abatement funds allocated to each State, which is based on, among other things, prescription opioid sales, the prevalence of pain reliever use disorder, overdose deaths, population and other factors. That methodology resulted in the state-by-state percentage allocations set forth in the NOAT II Documents to be filed with the Plan Supplement. Within- state allocations of those funds to local governments and other Municipal Units within each State will be determined either by a default allocation mechanic or a “Statewide Abatement Agreement” if the required level of support can be reached within the applicable State no

later than two weeks following the Effective Date.29 Under the default allocation mechanic, the within-state allocations of funds for abatement purposes shall be apportioned by region, and the specific abatement uses of the funds shall be determined by the state, with input from a consulting body that includes broad local government representation. Further detail on the inter-state allocation model and intra-state allocation mechanisms is described in the NOAT II Documents that will be filed with the Plan Supplement. Also, the core abatement purposes for which each State may allocate abatement funds are described in the NOAT II Documents distribution procedures, with priority given to the “core strategies” set therein.

The applicable NOAT II trustees shall distribute the NOAT II funds consistent with the allocation percentages set forth below and in accordance with the NOAT II Documents.

The allocation of public funds within a Territory or the District of Columbia will be determined by its local legislative body within the time frame set forth in the procedures of the NOAT II Documents filed with the Plan Supplement, unless that legislative body is not in session, in which case, the allocation of public funds shall be distributed pursuant to the direction of the Territory’s or District of Columbia’s executive, in consultation – to the extent applicable – with its government participation mechanism, all as set forth in the NOAT II Documents filed with the Plan Supplement.

Tribe Opioid Claims and the TAFT II . Distributions to the Tribes on account of Tribe Opioid Claims will be required to be used exclusively for abatement purposes and permitted administrative costs, and will be made through the TAFT II in accordance with the TAFT II Documents to be filed with the Plan Supplement.30 The allocation of distributions among Tribes will be consistent with the allocation percentages set forth in the TAFT II Documents. The Tribes will use the tribal allocation of abatement funds for programs on the approved list of abatement strategies (see the TAFT II Documents and procedures therein to be filed with the Plan Supplement) and also for culturally appropriate activities, practices, teachings or ceremonies that are, in the judgment of a tribe or tribal health organization, aimed at or supportive of remediation and abatement of the opioid crisis within a tribal community. A list of representative examples of such culturally appropriate abatement strategies, practices, and programs is attached to the TAFT II Documents and referred to therein as the “Tribal Abatement Strategies”. The separate allocation of abatement funding and illustrative list of Tribal Abatement Strategies recognizes that American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes and the communities they serve possess unique cultural histories, practices, wisdom, and needs that are highly relevant to the health and well-being of American Indian and Alaska Native people and that may play an important role in both individual and public health efforts and responses in Native communities.

Each of the NOAT II and the TAFT II shall (i) monitor the use of funds received by any applicable recipients in accordance with the NOAT II Documents and TAFT II Documents and (ii) prepare and deliver to the Opioid MDT II for publication annual reports on the disbursement, use and, to the extent feasible and cost-effective, efficacy of abatement distributions from such Trusts and the compliance by abatement distribution recipients with the authorized abatement purposes set forth in the applicable trust documents. The Debtors believe that funding these dedicated abatement funds is in the best interest of creditors and of the American public.

TAFT II may consist of one or more trusts, limited liability companies, or other Persons or Entities, to be identified in the Plan Supplement.

The Opioid Noticing Program

On June 8, 2021, the Debtors filed their Additional Opioid Notice Plan [Docket No. 2771, Ex. 5] (the “Opioid Notice Plan”). The Opioid Notice Plan provides that the Debtors will use multiple channels in the United States (including territories and tribes) and Canada to provide notice to known and unknown Holders of Opioid Claims. The Debtors will implement a combination of direct mailings, media campaigns and advertising (i.e., primarily television, online social/search media, and radio), print publications (i.e., newspapers and magazines), and community outreach to provide notice to known and unknown Opioid Claimants. The Debtors’ Opioid Notice Plan will involve a direct notice strategy and a media and community outreach strategy.

 

  1.

The Opioid Notice Plan - Direct Notice

The Debtors propose to send direct, mailed notice, and a Solicitation Package (including the applicable Ballot), to the following known Holders of Opioid Claims and/or their lawyers.

 

   

Existing Opioid Plaintiffs: All plaintiffs with pending opioid lawsuits against the Debtors.

 

   

Non-Plaintiff, Known Claimants: All persons and entities that have filed opioid-related Proofs of Claim in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases (if any), and all Persons and Entities that have appeared in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases on the basis of opioid-related claims, regardless of whether any of the foregoing have filed lawsuits against the Debtors relating to opioids.

 

   

Co-Defendants: All co-defendants to the Debtors in their prepetition opioid litigations.

 

   

Putative Class Representatives: All putative class representatives to the various opioid claim classes in these Chapter 11 Cases (e.g., the hospitals, ratepayers, ERP’s, NAS, Public Schools, etc.).

The Debtors will also send direct, mailed notice to the following potential Holders of Opioid Claims and/or their lawyers. Such notice will include information on how to retrieve a Solicitation Package directly from the Notice and Claims Agent, and vote on the Debtors’ Plan.

 

   

Related Consolidated Third Party Payors: Collective group of more than 450,000 insurance payors who have filed Proofs of Claim in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases relating to Acthar® Gel and asserted generics price fixing claims—the Debtors understand that group entirely or nearly entirely overlaps with the consolidated group of payors that filed opioid claims in the chapter 11 cases for In re Purdue Pharma L.P., Case No. 19-23649 (RDD) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.).

 

   

Opioid Claimants who filed a Proof of Claim in Purdue: The Debtors propose to utilize publicly available opioid claimant notice information from the Purdue Chapter 11 Cases, and to seek permission from the applicable bankruptcy court for Prime Clerk to utilize non-publicly available opioid claimant notice information, to send direct notice to such persons and entities.

 

83


  2.

The Opioid Notice Plan - Media and Community Outreach Strategy

The Debtors will conduct the following media and community outreach noticing programs to provide notice to all unknown Opioid Claimants. The following notice programs will disseminate information on how to obtain a Solicitation Package and an applicable Ballot, how to cast a vote on the Debtors’ Plan, provide notice of all relevant deadlines for the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, and directions for how to contact the Notice and Claims Agent with any questions.

The Debtors and their Notice and Claim Agent will commence a media/advertising outreach campaign that will include:

 

   

Television: Broadcast network and cable;

 

   

Online Media: Display internet banner advertising (United States and U.S. territories in both English and Spanish);

 

   

Search: Key word and search terms (United States, U.S. territories and Canada in English, Spanish and French);

 

   

Social Media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok (United States and U.S. territories in both English and Spanish) and Canada (English and French);

 

   

Radio: Tribal and Univision (United States and U.S. territories in Spanish); and

 

   

Press Releases (released approximately 2 weeks after entry of the Disclosure Statement Order): Releases in both United States (including U.S. territories and tribes in both English and Spanish) and Canada (in both English and French);

 

   

Print (Newspapers and Magazines):

 

   

United States and U.S. territories: Wall Street Journal, seventy-eight (78) local newspapers and over fifty (50+) tribal newspapers;

 

   

U.S. territories: six (6) local newspapers in Spanish and English; and

 

   

Canada: Maclean’s, Canadian Living, Reader’s Digest (English) and Reader’s Digest (French)

The Debtors’ media outreach timeline will last approximately seventy-three (73) days before the Voting Deadline (i.e., starting on or around June 22, 2021 and ending on or around September 3, 2021). This media outreach campaign is intended to target over ninety percent (90+%) of all adults eighteen and older regardless of age, gender, income, ethnicity or socio-economic condition in the United States and over eighty percent (80+%) of the same in Canada.

For television, the Debtors would propose a thirty-second (:30) television commercial, delivering information about the Debtors’ Plan process and the potential right to vote, for viewers that may have a potential Opioid Claim against the Debtors. The commercial will direct viewers to a dedicated webpage where the Opioid Claimant could obtain relevant materials, including the Plan and Disclosure Statement, and cast a vote on the Plan.

In paper print media, the Debtors will use a simplified notice that will deliver key information alerting the reader to the Debtors’ Plan process and their potential right to vote, if they believe they may have an Opioid Claim against the Debtors.

In online channels, the Debtors would further streamline the information conveyed in the primary advertisement by creating an online banner with information substantially in the form below:

 

 

84


If you or a family member has been harmed by the use of an opioid product, then any claim you may have against Mallinckrodt, which is an opioid manufacturer, may be impacted by Mallinckrodt’s bankruptcy plan and channeled to a trust for any recovery. As a result, you may have the right to vote on Mallinckrodt’s plan. If you want to vote on, or object to, Mallinckrodt’s plan, you must do so by September 3, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. (ET) . Please visit the dedicated opioid claimant webpage for more information and read Mallinckrodt’s plan and disclosure statement to help you decide whether and how to vote and request and submit a ballot. If you have questions about the information contained herein, you may also contact the Debtors at MallinckrodtInfo@primeclerk.com or the Official Committee of Opioid Related Claimants at MLNKOpioidcreditorinfo@primeclerk.com.

The Debtors will also deliver notice through a community outreach program via a short simplified notice that will explain the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases and the process for obtaining a Ballot and voting on the Plan if the recipient believes he or she may have an Opioid Claim and wishes to vote on the Plan. This community outreach notice is expected to reach over 330,000 parties in various categories of communities and organization, including without limitation, Addiction Treatment Centers; Public Schools; Church Organizations; Crisis Intervention Service, Help Lines, Intervention Centers; Dependency Information & Help Centers; Drug Abuse & Addiction Info & Treatment Centers; Emergency Rooms; Hospitals (For Profit, Psychiatry, Teaching, Veterans, Women’s, Government Owned, Rehabilitation, Chemical Dependency, Children); Mental Health Clinics; NAS Support Groups; Native American Reservations & Tribes; and Opioid/Opiate Treatment Centers.

The Debtors and their Notice and Claims Agent are also investigating whether they could conduct a notice program with counties, cities, towns and other local governments in the United States. The notice would be similar to the community outreach notice above (i.e., a short notice explaining the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases and the process for obtaining a Ballot and voting on the Plan). The Debtors’ investigation is still ongoing and, if it’s possible, the Debtors will indeed provide notice to certain counties, cities, towns and other local governments in the United States.

The Canadian Recognition Proceedings

In parallel with these Chapter 11 Cases, Mallinckrodt Canada ULC, Mallinckrodt plc, Mallinckrodt Hospital Products Inc., Mallinckrodt LLC, and MNK 2011 LLC (collectively, the “Canadian Filing Entities”) have commenced proceedings under Part IV of the Canadian Companies Arrangement Act (the “Canadian Recognition Proceedings”) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Canadian Court”) to recognize the Chapter 11 Cases as foreign main proceedings or foreign non-main proceedings, as applicable, in Canada and to recognize in Canada certain Orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In the Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order appointing Mallinckrodt Canada ULC as the foreign representative (the “Foreign Representative”) of itself, Mallinckrodt plc, and the other Canadian Filing Entities.

On October 16, 2020, the Foreign Representative, under Part IV of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”) applied for and was granted an Initial Recognition Order (Foreign Main Proceeding and Foreign Non-Main Proceeding) and a Supplemental Order as to Mallinckrodt ULC, Mallinckrodt plc, and Mallinckrodt Hospital Products Inc. (together, the “Initial CCAA Recognition Orders”). The Canadian Recognition Proceedings are pending before the Honourable Mr. Justice Hainey of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) under Case No. CV-20-00649441-00CL. Among other things, the Initial CCAA Recognition Orders: (a) recognize the Chapter 11 Cases as a “foreign main proceeding” and a “foreign non-main proceeding”; (b) recognize Mallinckrodt Canada ULC as the Foreign Representative in respect of the Canadian Filing Entities; (c) grant a stay of proceedings in Canada in respect of the Canadian Filing Entities and their officers and directors and other standard relief; (d) recognize and give effect in Canada to certain interim orders made by the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases; and (e) appoint Ernst & Young Inc. as Information Officer in the Canadian Recognition Proceedings.

 

85


The Debtors initiated the Canadian Recognition Proceedings in order to (a) channel certain claims (the “Canadian Opioid Claims”) related to the B.C. Class Action Litigation (as defined below) to the Opioid MDT II, and (b) to stay that and certain other litigation, including the Ontario Litigation (as defined below) and the Eaton Litigation (as defined below), during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Canadian Filing Entities are defendants in three actions in Canada (the “Canadian Litigations”). The Canadian Litigations are comprised of:

 

   

a civil claim dated June 1, 2020, filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia under the Class Proceedings Act (British Columbia) (the “B.C. Class Action Litigation”) naming Mallinckrodt Canada ULC and Mallinckrodt plc (the “B.C. Mallinckrodt Defendants”) as defendants and alleging, among other things, that following a switch from the generic methadone compound to Methadose: a) the B.C. Mallinckrodt Defendants knew that Methadose was less effective than the compounded generic methadone in question; b) the B.C. Mallinckrodt Defendants knew or ought to have known that restricting patient access to compounded generic methadone and the switch to Methadose could result in relapse and harms associated with relapse; and c) the B.C. Mallinckrodt Defendants – through acts or omissions – committed various wrongdoings, including making false representations regarding Methadose and the switch from compounded generic methadone, and failing to warn patients;

 

   

a civil claim dated July 2, 2015, filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the “Ontario Litigation”) naming Ikaria Inc. (a predecessor company to Mallinckrodt Hospital Products Inc.) as a defendant, alleging, negligence, conversion, interference with property and/or breach of contract in respect of the destruction of certain product stock; and

 

   

a civil claim dated June 3, 2020, filed in the Federal Court of Canada in Toronto, Ontario, under the Competition Act (Canada) and the Federal Courts Act (Kathryn Eaton v Teva Canada Limited et al. – Court File No. T-607-20) (the “Eaton Litigation”), naming Mallinckrodt LLC, Mallinckrodt Canada ULC, Mallinckrodt plc and 71 other unrelated pharmaceutical entities, as defendants, and alleging, that the defendants participated in a conspiracy across North America to allocate the market, fix prices and maintain the supply of certain generic drugs.

After the Confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, applications will be made by the Canadian Filing Entities seeking orders from the Canadian Court recognizing the Confirmation Order as a matter of Canadian law, the effect of which, among other things, will be to channel all Canadian Opioid Claims to the Opioid MDT II pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors reserve the right to file additional Canadian Recognition Proceedings for Debtors other than the Canadian Filing Entities, to the extent necessary or advisable to consummate the Plan. Entry of an order by the Canadian Court recognizing the Confirmation Order in the Canadian Recognition Proceedings and giving full force and effect to the Confirmation Order in Canada (and such recognition order becoming a Final Order) is a condition precedent to the Effective Date under Article VIII of the Plan.

 

  Y.

The Irish Examinership Proceedings

In accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Plan, the Parent anticipates filing a petition to commence the Irish Examinership Proceedings following confirmation of the Plan. The filing of the Irish Examinership Proceedings will commence the protection period during which the Parent will, under Irish law, have the benefit of protection against enforcement and other actions by its creditors for a period of up to 100 calendar days (or as otherwise amended under applicable Irish insolvency law).

 

 

86


The Parent intends to continue operating its business in the ordinary course during the protection period, save that an Examiner will be in place whose primary function will be to seek approval for its proposals for a Scheme of Arrangement in relation to the Parent.

The Irish Debtors believe that the terms of the proposals for a Scheme of Arrangement which will accompany the Irish Examinership Proceedings will, inter alia, deal with the: (i) cancellation of all Equity Interests; (ii) issue of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants as of the Effective Date, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the New Opioid Warrants) to the Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims; and (iii) issue of New Opioid Warrants to the Opioid MDT II each on terms consistent with the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the above, the Debtors reserve the right to file additional Irish Examinership Proceedings for Debtors other than Parent, to the extent necessary or advisable to consummate the Plan.

Furthermore, one of the Holders of ordinary shares of Mallinckrodt plc, the Buxton Helmsley Group (“BHG”), filed The Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc.’s Joinder In Acthar Plaintiffs’ Preliminary Objections To Debtors’ Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2385] asserting, among other things, that the Debtors and their directors may have violated certain aspects of Irish law in connection with their restructuring and these Chapter 11 Cases. Thus, according to BHG, Mallinckrodt plc may have undisclosed Claims against it that may interfere with the Debtors’ ability to consummate the Irish Examinership Proceeding and, accordingly, to consummate the Plan. The Debtors disagree with BHG’s assertions in its joinder pleading.

 

  1.

Petition Hearing

On the petition hearing date of the Irish Examinership Proceedings, the Parent will apply to have the Examiner’s appointment confirmed. The Parent will be required to establish that it is insolvent and that there is a reasonable prospect of the survival of both the company and its undertaking. It is intended that the petition will be accompanied by the Scheme of Arrangement.

 

  2.

Approval of Proposals for the Scheme of Arrangement

The Examiner will convene meetings of classes of creditors and the shareholders of the Parent. The Scheme of Arrangement is required to be approved by in excess of 50% plus one in value and in number of at least one class of impaired creditors.

 

  3.

Approval by the High Court of Ireland

Once the requisite creditor classes have voted in favor of the Scheme of Arrangement, the Examiner will file a report containing details of the outcome of the votes of the class meetings with the High Court of Ireland and apply to the High Court of Ireland for a hearing date to confirm the Scheme of Arrangement. At such hearing the Examiner will be required to establish that the proposals are fair and equitable to any class of creditors which has not accepted the proposals and whose interests would be impaired by the proposals and that the proposals are not unfairly prejudicial to the interests of any interested party.

Entry of an order confirming the Scheme of Arrangement in the Irish Examinership Proceedings and the Scheme of Arrangement becoming effective in accordance with its terms (or becoming effective concurrently with effectiveness of the Plan) is a condition precedent to the Effective Date under Article VIII of the Plan.

Disclosure Statement Objections

Various parties have filed objections to this Disclosure Statement and the Disclosure Statement Order. The Debtors have engaged with some of these objecting parties to resolve their objections and intend to continue engaging with objecting parties to resolve objections. Below are additional disclosures with respect to said Disclosure Statement objections.

As set forth in the Objection of the Ad Hoc First Lien Notes Group to Approval of the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement [Dkt. No. 2377], the Objection of Columbus Hill Capital Management, L.P. to Debtors’ Motion for Approval of Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt PLC and Its Debtor Affiliates under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Dkt. No. 2350], the Supplemental Objection of Columbus Hill Capital Management, L.P. to Debtors’ Motion for Approval of Disclosure Statement for Joint Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt Plc and Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Dkt. No. 2859] and various informal communications, that certain ad hoc First Lien Notes group, Columbus Hill Capital Management, L.P. and/or that certain ad hoc Second Lien Notes group have raised objections to (i) the Debtors’ proposed Reinstatement of the First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes, as applicable, under the Plan, including without limitation, whether the First Lien Notes or Second Lien Notes may be reinstated absent the inclusion of the “Applicable Premium” under the Indentures in the reinstated principal balance of the notes; and (ii) the Debtors’ proposed alternative treatment of the First Lien Notes Claims and Second Lien Notes Claims under the Plan in the form of Cram-Down First Lien Notes or Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, as applicable, including, without limitation, whether the Cram-Down First Lien Notes or Cram-Down Second Lien Notes satisfy the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors disagree with their positions, and their other assertions in their objections, and submit that the First Lien Notes and the Second Lien Notes may be Reinstated without paying any “Applicable Premium” and that the treatment of First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes under the Plan is otherwise appropriate.

The UCC filed its Preliminary Objection Of Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors To Motion Of Debtors For Entry Of Order (I) Approving The Disclosure Statement And Form And Manner Of Notice Of Hearing Thereon, (II) Establishing Solicitation Procedures, (III) Approving The Form And Manner Of Notice To Attorneys And Solicitation Directive, (IV) Approving The Form Of Ballots, (V) Approving Form, Manner, And Scope Of Confirmation Notices, (VI) Establishing Certain Deadlines In Connection With Approval Of Disclosure Statement, And Confirmation Of Plan, And (VII) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 2392]. The UCC’s objection asserts that it does not support the Plan.

In response to the UCC’s objection, (a) the Debtors will include with the Solicitation Package correspondence from the UCC directed to Holders of General Unsecured Claims stating its position with respect to the Plan; (b) the Debtors believe the Asbestos Claims asserted against the Debtors primarily relate to a refractory product sold by a legacy affiliated entity prior to 1974; and (c) certain plaintiffs have also alleged premises liability Asbestos Claims against the Debtors.

The Acthar Ad Hoc Group and certain other Acthar Claimants filed their Acthar Plaintiffs’ Preliminary Objections To Debtors’ Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2244] and their Supplemental Preliminary Objections Of The Acthar Plaintiffs To Disclosure Statement For Joint Chapter 11 Plan Of Reorganization Of Mallinckrodt Plc And Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 Of The Bankruptcy Code And Joinder [Docket No. 2415]. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosures to resolve the Acthar Ad Hoc Group’s objection.

 

88


The Plan divides unsecured Claims into various Classes, specifically, Classes 5-11 and Class 13. Those Classes (inclusive of Classes identified with an enumerated sub-clause) are entitled to varying recoveries from varying sources under the Plan. The varying recoveries reflect (a) the interrelated settlements that underpin the Restructuring Support Agreement and that have been agreed during these Chapter 11 Cases and (b) the varying legal entitlements of the creditors within each Class, as demonstrated by (among other things) the Liquidation Analysis, which is filed at Docket No. 2285-2 and set forth in Exhibit E hereto. A material portion of the Debtors’ profits were earned in connection with the sale of Acthar both pre- and post-petition. The Debtors will not be substantively consolidated for all purposes through the Plan. The Plan seeks to limit the Acthar Claimants’ recovery to sharing in the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool. The Debtors intend to demonstrate at the Confirmation Hearing the propriety of the treatments applicable to different Classes of unsecured Claims, a position that is disputed by the Acthar Claimants and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

The Acthar Claimants, including multiple individual plaintiffs and putative class representatives represented by the Haviland Hughes and Ciardi, Ciardi, & Astin firms, have stated in their pleadings that they intend to pursue legal action against the Reorganized Debtors, the New Board, and Holders of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares after the Effective Date, for purported violations of antitrust and price fixing laws they assert will occur.

The Debtors have not appointed any non-employee directors to U.S. Specialty Brands subsidiaries of Debtor Mallinckrodt plc. Mallinckrodt plc’s board of directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors.

The Debtors will disclose the assumption or rejection of any applicable Executory Contracts with Express Scripts or any of its affiliated entities in connection with the Plan Supplement, which will be filed twenty-eight (28) days before the Voting Deadline. The consequences of such assumption or rejection will be as dictated by the Bankruptcy Code, including section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors do not expect that Article V.G of the Plan, which applies to opioid-related indemnification obligations, would apply to any such Executory Contracts. However, to the extent that any such Executory Contracts do give rise to Co-Defendant Claims (i.e., based on or in connection with Opioid Claims), such indemnification obligations would be subject to Article V.G of the Plan.

From and after the Effective Date, the Debtors intend to continue operating their Acthar-related businesses generally consistent with their historical practices. The Acthar Claimants take the position that such historical practices form the basis for Administrative Claims that have accrued post-petition and will continue to accrue, and the Debtors disagree with that position.

The Debtors’ Statements of Financial Affairs disclose all transfers among the Debtors for the one- year prior to the Petition Date. The Ad Hoc Acthar Group has identified $14 billion of such transfers that it believes may be subject to challenge and/or avoidance. The Debtors’ position is that the transfers identified in their Statements largely reflect ordinary course intercompany business activity and/or satisfaction of non-avoidable obligations, the general structures of which are described in more detail in the Debtors’ “Cash Management Motion” filed at Docket No. 23 in the Chapter 11 Cases.

In addition, in further response to the Acthar Ad Hoc Group’s objection, the Debtors have confirmed that the following parties are not “Released Parties” as defined in the Plan:

 

 

89


Cigna Corp.; Cigna Holding Co.; Express Scripts, Inc.; Express Scripts Holding Company; CuraScript, Inc., d/b/a CuraScript, SD, f/k/a CuraScript Pharmacy, Inc.; Accredo Health Group, Inc.; Avista Capital Partners; United BioSource Corporation; United Biosource LLC; United Biosource Holdings, Inc.; Aetna; Aetna Rx; Avella; Biologics/Care Advantage; CVS Caremark; CVS Health Corp.; Caremark LLC; CVS Pharmacy, Inc.; Cigna Specialty; Cigna Tel Drug; Coram; Diplomat Pharmacy; Optum; OptumRx, Inc. f/k/a SXC Health Solutions, Inc.; United Health Group; BriovaRx; Freedom Fertility; Humana Inc.; Humana Specialty; RightSource SP; Kroger Specialty; McKesson Specialty; Medmark; PerformRx; Pharmacare; PrecisionRx; Premier; Prime Therapeutics SP; SenderraRx.; US Bioservices; Walgreens Specialty; Walgreens Boots Alliance; Biosolutia; CareMetx; NORD (National Ass’n of Rare Disease); CDF (Chronic Disease Fund); CDF RX, Inc.; Michael Banigan; CVC (Caring Voice Coalition); Sonexus Health; The Assistance Fund (TAF); Good Days; Novartis Pharmaceuticals; Sigma Tau.

The Acthar Insurance Claimants filed their Objection of Attestor Limited and Humana, Inc. to the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement for Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt plc and its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 2384]. The Debtors hereby include the following disclosures, which have been drafted, proposed, and alleged by the Acthar Insurance Claimants, to resolve certain of the Acthar Insurance Claimants’ objections to this Disclosure Statement. The Debtors do not necessarily agree with or endorse any of the statements or allegations in the following disclosures.

The Acthar Insurance Claimants, holders of claims arising from nearly $2.4 billion in purchases of Acthar, have grave concerns regarding the Plan and, in their view, the Disclosure Statement, misstates, mischaracterizes, and plainly omits several of the key facts necessary for creditors to make an informed decision regarding the Plan. Accordingly, the information presented below summarizes Humana and Attestor’s position and facts underlying such position, so that creditors have adequate information when deciding whether to vote to accept or reject the Plan. For the reasons set forth below, Humana and Attestor urge Class 6 creditors to vote to REJECT the Plan.

History of Acthar: Acthar is a naturally derived ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) drug that was developed in the 1940s (and approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1952), is administered by injection, and produced only by Mallinckrodt. While initially approved to treat a wide range of ailments, over time many alternative anti-inflammatory drugs have been developed, which are in pill form. Today, with the exception of infantile spasms, for which it is standard of care, Acthar typically is a last resort treatment when multiple other treatment options, including steroids, have failed, and for most indications, there is a lack of medical evidence to support Acthar’s use over alternative, more convenient, and far cheaper treatments.

In 2001, the Debtors’ predecessor, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., acquired exclusive rights to Acthar for a modest $100,000, and in 2014, the Debtors purchased Questcor for $5.6 billion. Since 2001, Questcor and the Debtors have leveraged their monopoly power to increase the price of a single vial of Acthar from $40 in 2001 to $23,269 in 2007, then continued to raise the price to $ 38,892 in 2018. This represents an overall price-hike of approximately 97,500%. Presently, for those indications where alternatives are available, a typical treatment course for Acthar costs approximately $120,000 per patient compared to less than $20 for first line alternatives.

The Acthar Related Claims: The Acthar Insurance Claimants, as well as a multitude of other private healthcare companies and governmental entities, have brought litigation and filed claims in these cases asserting that the Debtors have conducted a series of unlawful schemes over the past decade to illegally prop up the price of Acthar, ensuring that doctors would prescribe it in large volume, all while patients are insulated to the costs. Allegedly, as a result, prescribed volume for Acthar has increased dramatically, with sales volume increasing more than eightfold from 2011 to 2016 for Medicare spending alone. In particular, among other things, the Debtors are alleged to have (1) acquired and eliminated Synacthen, which the Acthar Insurance Claimants allege to be Acthar’s only potential direct competitor in the United States, by purchasing it from Novartis in 2013 and purposefully failing to commercialize it; (2) illegally paid patient co-pays for Acthar through certain allegedly “charitable” funds operated by the Chronic Disease Fund Inc. in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act, thereby allowing the Debtors to market Acthar as “free” to patients and physicians despite the enormously higher costs compared to possible alternative treatments; and (3) illegally paid kickbacks and bribes to physicians in exchange for their agreement to overprescribe Acthar. The Acthar Insurance Claimants believe that the result of this tri-partite scheme was to overprescribe an outdated and ineffective drug to innumerable patients—primarily elderly people covered by Medicare—while severely overbilling those patients’ health insurers and other third-party payers. The Debtors maintain, among other things, that Synacthen is not Acthar’s only potential direct competitor in the United States. The drug Sabril was approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat infantile spasms in August 2009. Acthar is considered the standard of care for infantile spasms, but there is another approved treatment for infantile spasms available in the U.S. other than Acthar.

On August 8, 2019, Humana initiated litigation against the Debtors, alleging violations of the Sherman Act, the federal RICO Act, and various state laws due to the Debtors’ monopoly power over the U.S. market for long-acting ACTH drugs. This litigation was initially brought against Debtor Mallinckrodt ARD LLC, the entity which Humana purchased Acthar from, but the Acthar Insurance Claimants are continuing to investigate and seek discovery as to which Debtor entities are responsible and liable for the Debtors’ illegal conduct. Mallinckrodt twice sought to dismiss Humana’s claims, but the court overseeing the cases (the United States District Court for the Central District of California) denied such requests. However, the court did dismiss Humana’s tortious interference claim against Mallinckrodt with prejudice. Besides Humana, multiple other parties, including federal and state governmental entities and regulators, have brought similar allegations based on the same facts, and the Debtors have previously entered into a $100 million antitrust settlement with the FTC and a $15 million settlement with the DOJ, both relating to their Acthar-related business practices.

Continuing Acthar-Related Liability: Despite facing such allegations and liability for years, the Acthar Insurance Claimants believe that the Debtors continue to engage in illegal business practices related to Acthar and the Debtors continue to charge them and others monopolistic prices for Acthar. Humana, for example, continues to spend an average of approximately $ 7.5 million per month for Acthar. In total, the Debtors’ post-petition net sales of Acthar through the end of March (i.e., less than six months since the petition date) was approximately $ 255.8 million, averaging approximately $51.1 million each month. As described in the Administrative Claim Motion, the Acthar Insurance Claimants assert that the Debtors continue to accrue millions of dollars of administrative claims each month as a result of their continuing conduct. Such claims

must be paid in full and in cash before the Debtors can emerge from bankruptcy. If the Acthar Insurance Claimants are able to successfully demonstrate ongoing anticompetitive or racketeering conduct by the Debtors, the Debtors will face significant challenges in confirming the Plan. Further, such ongoing conduct means that once out of bankruptcy, the reorganized Debtors will continue to accrue millions of dollars of additional liability each month post-reorganization, casting significant doubt on the feasibility of the Debtors’ plan to successfully reorganize without another bankruptcy looming in the near future.

Other Serious Concerns With the Plan: Despite Acthar’s importance as the largest contributor to product sales in Mallinckrodt’s pharmaceutical portfolio, and its ongoing contributions to Mallinckrodt’s business that is vital to support its post- emergence capital structure, the Acthar Insurance Claimants and other parties that have paid billions of dollars for Acthar, and continue to pay millions each month, are being forced under the Plan to wrangle over a portion of a $100 million pot shared with other general unsecured creditors. This is a pittance in comparison to what unsecured creditors that are party to the Restructuring Support Agreement are receiving.

The holders of Opioid Claims, who only have claims against Debtors of the Specialty Generics business, which contributes only 25% of total Mallinckrodt revenues and an even lower share of its profits, and have no claims against the Specialty Brands and Acthar-related Debtors, are receiving $1.6 billion under the Plan in addition to new warrants for 19.99% of all outstanding shares in the Reorganized Debtors. The Acthar Insurance Claimants believe that the Specialty Generics business cannot possibly have the value to support this amount (which cash amount is sixteen times the value being ascribed to all other General Unsecured Claims including private Acthar Claims) without taking value away from the creditors of the Debtor entities where the real value resides. Further, the holders of the Federal/State Acthar Claims have been allocated a separate $ 260 million pool with no reasoning given by the Debtors. Lastly, the Debtors’ unsecured bondholders are not only receiving $375 million (almost 25% of their total principal outstanding today) in new higher-priority secured notes, but also all of the equity of the reorganized Debtors upon emergence.

While these classes of unsecured claims are set to receive billions of dollars of value under the Plan, general unsecured creditors like the Acthar Insurance Claimants are left to divide $100 million among billions of dollars of asserted claims, meaning the Debtors believe that general unsecured creditors would receive essentially no value in a liquidation scenario. The Acthar Insurance Claimants believe that the Debtors’ position is premised on an overly-conservative and flawed valuation and liquidation analysis and that it is prudent for the Debtors to reassess the Plan they developed almost a year ago given the red-hot state of the financing and mergers and acquisitions markets. Further consideration should be given by the Debtors to publicly available metrics related to both the Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics businesses, which the Acthar Insurance Claimants believe would result in implied consolidated enterprise values for the business of greater than $6 billion, and under some metrics greater than $7 billion (versus the narrow $5.2 billion to $5.7 billion range given by the Debtors). The Acthar Insurance Claimants also believe that higher going concern values for the Debtors’ businesses and successful resolution of Acthar Claims against the Debtors’ key Acthar-related entities would lead to gross recoveries to private Acthar- related claimants of many hundreds of millions of dollars on top of the already hundreds of millions of dollars that would be owed to them on account of the substantial administrative expense claims

that arise from the Debtors’ ongoing practices. The Acthar Insurance Claimants plan to demonstrate at the Confirmation Hearing that the Debtors analyses are fundamentally flawed and that the Plan cannot be confirmed.

Cotter Corporation filed its Cotter Corporation (N.S.L.)’s Objection To Adequacy Of Mallinckrodt Plc’s Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2380]. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosures to resolve Cotter Corporation’s objection.

The Debtors have agreed with the United States government that any of the Debtors’ liabilities that are indemnified by the United States government arising from the West Lake Landfill site in the St. Louis, Missouri area and in connection with the Manhattan Project will not be discharged and will be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors on the Effective Date.

The Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc., a registered investment adviser, and Alexander Parker, a representative of The Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc. filed The Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc.’s Joinder In Acthar Plaintiffs’ Preliminary Objections To Debtors’ Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2385]. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosures to resolve the Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc.’s and Alexander Parker’s joinder.

One of the Holders of ordinary shares of Mallinckrodt plc, the Buxton Helmsley Group (“BHG”), filed The Buxton Helmsley Group, Inc.’s Joinder In Acthar Plaintiffs’ Preliminary Objections To Debtors’ Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2385] asserting, among other things, that the Debtors and their directors may have violated certain aspects of Irish law in connection with their restructuring and these Chapter 11 Cases. Thus, according to BHG, Mallinckrodt plc may have undisclosed Claims against it that may interfere with the Debtors’ ability to consummate the Irish Examinership Proceeding and, accordingly, to consummate the Plan. The Debtors disagree with BHG’s assertions in its joinder pleading.

Objecting creditors, Kenneth R. Greathouse, Stuart Rose, and Lloyd Glenn filed their Objection Of Greathouse, Rose, And Glenn To The Disclosure Statement For Joint Chapter 11 Plan Of Reorganization Of Mallinckrodt Plc And Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 Of The Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 2371]. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosures to resolve these objecting creditors’ objection.

Greathouse, Rose, and Glenn assert that the Financial Projections do not account for a return to pre-COVID net sales. The Debtors disagree with that assumption for the Financial Projections as it is speculative and unsubstantiated. The actual results of the business may be greater or lesser than those set forth in the Financial Projections and all holders of the new equity (including Class 6 holders) will inherently receive any increased value or share in any decreased value in the New Mallinckrodt Shares.

Article V of the Plan contains provisions regarding the treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Debtors’ position is that Article V provides sufficient disclosure to holders of such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases of their treatment. However, certain parties have filed objections to the Disclosure Statement and Disclosure Statement Order regarding the need for further clarification regarding the treatment of Insurance Contracts and Co-Defendant Claims. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosure to resolve such objections:

 

 

93


All executory contracts will be assumed by the Debtors on the Effective Date in accordance with Article V of the Plan. Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, to be disclosed in the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List in the Plan Supplement (which will be filed twenty-eight (28) days before the Voting Deadline), will be rejected pursuant to the Plan. The consequences of such assumption (in the case of Executory Contracts), or rejection (in the case of the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List) will be as dictated by the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law, including section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The treatment of the Insurance Contracts and the Assigned Insurance Rights under the Plan, and certain defined terms related thereto, remain subject to discussion among the Debtors and certain parties in interest.

Opioid MDT II, the Opioid Creditor Trusts, and the Ratepayer Account are trusts or accounts (as applicable) established in the Debtors’ chapter 11 plan to be the legal successor to the Protected Parties for all purposes of allocating or determining fault or liability related to Opioid Claims. In connection with the exercise of Co- Defendant Defensive Rights, solely with respect to verdict sheets, in lieu of naming the Protected Parties on verdict sheets in any litigation, Claim, Cause of Action or the like based in whole or in part on Opioid-Related Activities, the Plan shall permit a co-defendant in any such action to name and identify Opioid MDT II, the applicable Opioid Creditor Trust, or the Ratepayer Account in the following manner: “[Opioid MDT II / the applicable Opioid Creditor Trust / the Ratepayer Account], as successor in interest, and successor in liability, to the Debtors, including without limitation, Mallinckrodt.” In addition, in that context the Plan shall permit discussing any aspect of the Debtors’ prepetition business and in so naming the Opioid MDT II, the applicable Opioid Creditor Trust, or the Ratepayer Account as the successor in interest and liability to the Debtors, it is understood that such named entity is to be treated in that context for all purposes as if the Debtors themselves were named.

Co-Defendant Claims for indemnification under Executory Contracts will be treated in accordance with Article V.G of the Plan, unless the Holder of a Co-Defendant Claim objects to such treatment. Any Claims for indemnification arising from the rejection of such Executory Contracts will be channeled to the Other Opioid Claims Reserve or, if they are No Recovery Opioid Claims, receive no recovery. If any such Executory Contract is assumed (without any agreement to the contrary), any Cure Cost associated therewith will be an obligation of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and will not be channeled to the Other Opioid Claims Reserve.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed the Limited Objection of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission to Approval of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Debtors’ Joint Plan of Reorganization [Docket No. 2401], objecting to the releases in the Plan. The Debtors disagree with this objection, which will be addressed at the appropriate time in connection with confirmation of the Plan.

Blake Kim, as CEO of Burlingame Investment Group, a representative of holders of 4.750% Senior Notes due April 2023 filed an objection to the Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2509], objecting to (i) the treatment of the 4.750% Senior Notes due April 2023, and (ii) the Debtors’ valuation. The Debtors disagree with these objections, which will be addressed at the appropriate time in connection with confirmation of the Plan.

Columbia Casualty Company filed the Columbia Casualty Company’s Objection To Approval Of Debtors’ Disclosure Statement [Docket No. 2400]. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosures to resolve Columbia Casualty Company’s objection.

Any self-insured retentions that remain to be paid under any applicable Opioid Insurance Policy or in connection with any Assigned Insurance Rights shall be satisfied to the extent and in the manner required by applicable law.

The Plan proposes to permit the Opioid MDT II to conduct Rule 2004 discovery regarding Assigned Insurance Rights without filing a motion with the Bankruptcy Court after confirmation of the Plan. The Plan does not propose to permit Rule 2004 discovery in lieu of discovery under the applicable federal or state rules of civil procedure in connection with pending litigation, and the rules of civil procedure applicable to such litigation shall control. Certain of the Debtors’ insurers assert that the Opioid MDT II should not be (i) permitted to use Rule 2004 for post-Confirmation discovery, (ii) excused from the requirement of filing a motion to conduct any Rule 2004 discovery, or (iii) permitted to use Rule 2004 for discovery against them in anticipation of litigation.

Certain insurance contracts have self-insured retentions. Certain insurers may assert that, under the Plan, self-insured retentions may be unfunded or underfunded. They may further assert that they have no obligations under their policies until the applicable self-insured retentions are actually paid in full in accordance with the policies, which they assert may not be accomplished under the Plan.

The DOJ filed its United States’ Objection To The Debtors’ Disclosure Statement For The Joint Chapter 11 Plan Of Reorganization Of Mallinckrodt Plc And Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 Of The Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 2507]. The Debtors hereby include the following additional disclosures to resolve the DOJ’s objection.

The United States informed the Debtors that it objects to the treatment set forth in Class 8(d) (U.S. Government Opioid Claims) and reserves, among other things, the United States’ rights under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, 42 USC §§ 1395y(b)(2),(8) (“MSP”), section 111 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110 -173) (“MMSEA”), and the Federal Medical Care Recovery Act (“FMCRA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2651-2653, and may seek to assert such rights, if necessary, with respect to distributions under the Plan against any and all parties. The rights of all parties to object to this position are reserved. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the language or herein precludes the United States from objecting to or voting against the Plan.

  A.

Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan

The Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 Plan of reorganization for each Debtor. The provisions of Article III of the Plan governs Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. Except for the Claims addressed in Article II of the Plan (or as otherwise set forth therein), all Claims and Interests are placed in Classes for each of the applicable Debtors. For all purposes under the Plan, each Class will exist for each of the Debtors; provided, that any Class that is vacant as to a particular Debtor will be treated in accordance with Article III.G of the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have not classified Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims as described in Article II of the Plan.

The categories of Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and Interests for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation and distribution pursuant hereto and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan deems a Claim or Interest to be classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. A Claim or an Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

Acceptance or Rejection of the Plan; Effect of Rejection of Plan

 

  1.

Presumed Acceptance of Plan

Claims in Classes 1 and 2(a) are Unimpaired under the Plan and their Holders are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 1 and 2(a) are not entitled to vote on the Plan and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.31

 

  2.

Voting Classes

Claims in Classes 2(b)-(c), 3, 4, 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 are Impaired under the Plan and the Holders of Allowed Claims in all such Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, including by acting through a Voting Representative. 32 For purposes of determining acceptance and rejection of the Plan, each such Class (including each Class identified by a number and letter) will be regarded as a separate voting Class and votes will be tabulated on a Debtor-by-Debtor basis.

An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if (a) the Holders, including Holders acting through a Voting Representative, of at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount of Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan and (b) the Holders, including Holders acting through a Voting Representative, of more than one-half (1/2) in number of Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan. Holders of Claims in Classes 2(b)-(c), 3, 4, 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 (or, if applicable, the Voting Representatives of such Holders) shall receive ballots containing detailed voting instructions. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to and except as otherwise provided in the Disclosure Statement Order, each Claim in (x) Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) and (y) any other Class entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan that is not Allowed pursuant to the Plan and, in each case, is

The Plan provides for potential treatment which would render Claims in Classes 2(b), 2(c), 3, and 4 Unimpaired, in which case such Claims would be conclusively presumed to accept the Plan, and Holders of such Claims would not be entitled to vote.

32 

Holders of Claims in Class 2(b), Class 2(c), Class 3, and Class 4 are entitled to vote, but the Plan provides for potential treatment which would render these Claims Unimpaired, in which case such Claims would be conclusively presumed to accept the Plan, and any votes by Holders of such Claims will be moot and disregarded.

 

97


wholly contingent, unliquidated, or disputed (based on the face of such Proof of Claim or as determined upon the review of the Debtors), in each case, shall be accorded one (1) vote and valued at one dollar ($1.00) for voting purposes only, and not for purposes of Allowance or distribution. Based on the foregoing sentence, Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan if the Holders, including Holders acting through a Voting Representative, of at least two-thirds (2/3) in number of Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

 

  3.

Deemed Rejection of the Plan

Claims and Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14 are Impaired under the Plan and their Holders shall receive no distributions under the Plan on account of their Claims or Interests (as applicable) and are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14 are not entitled to vote on the Plan and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

 

  4.

Presumed Acceptance of the Plan or Deemed Rejection of the Plan

Claims and Interests in Classes 11 and 12 are either (a) Unimpaired and are, therefore, conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (b) Impaired and shall receive no distributions under the Plan and are, therefore, deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 11 and 12 are not entitled to vote on the Plan and votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

 

  5.

Subordinated Claims

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests, and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan, shall take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such Allowed Claims or Interests and their respective treatments set forth herein shall not be subject to setoff, demand, recharacterization, turnover, disgorgement, avoidance, or other similar rights of recovery asserted by any Person. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, except where otherwise provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination rights relating thereto.

 

  6.

Vacant and Abstaining Classes

Any Class of Claims or Interests that is not occupied as of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or a Claim or Interest temporarily Allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018 shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan and for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, any Class of Claims that is occupied as of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by an Allowed Claim or a Claim temporarily Allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, but as to which no vote is cast, shall be deemed to accept the Plan pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

98


  7.

Intercompany Interests and Intercompany Claims

To the extent Intercompany Interests and Intercompany Claims are Reinstated under the Plan, distributions on account of such Intercompany Interests and Intercompany Claims are not being received by Holders of such Intercompany Interests or Intercompany Interests on account of their Intercompany Interests or Intercompany Claims, but for the purposes of administrative convenience and to maintain the Debtors’ (and their Affiliate- subsidiaries) corporate structure , for the ultimate benefit of the Holders of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, to preserve ordinary course intercompany operations, and in exchange for the Debtors’ and Reorganized Debtors’ agreement under the Plan to make certain distributions to the Holders of Allowed Claims.

 

  8.

New Credit Facilities

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent incurred prior to the Effective Date, the New Credit Facilities shall survive the Effective Date and shall not be entitled to treatment within any Class set forth herein.

 

  C.

Means of Implementation of the Plan

Article IV of the Plan governs and describes the means of implementation of the Plan.

Article IV.A (“General Settlement of Claims and Interests”) provides that in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under the Plan, on the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a set of integrated, good-faith compromises and settlements of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action and controversies resolved pursuant to the Plan. The Plan shall be deemed a motion by the Debtors to approve such compromises and settlements pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of such compromises and settlements under Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such integrated compromises or settlements are in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates and Holders of Claims and Interests, and are fair, equitable and within the range of reasonableness. Subject to Article VI of the Plan, distributions made to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests in any Class are intended to be and shall be final and indefeasible and shall not be subject to avoidance, turnover, or recovery by any other Person.

Article IV.B (“Restructuring Transactions”) provides that on or prior to the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors shall, consistent with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and subject to the applicable consent and approval rights thereunder, take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by or necessary to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions (including any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan), and as set forth in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, including: (a) the creation of NewCo and/or any NewCo Subsidiaries that may, at the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ option in consultation with the Supporting Parties, acquire all or substantially all the assets of one or more of the Debtors; (b) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of sale, merger, consolidation, or reorganization containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (c) the execution and delivery of the Transfer Agreement and any other appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (d) the filing of appropriate certificates of incorporation, merger, migration, consolidation, or other organizational documents with the appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to applicable law; and (e) all other actions that the Reorganized Debtors determine are necessary or appropriate.

The Restructuring Transactions shall not (a) adversely affect the recoveries under the Plan (i) of holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims without the consent of the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, and (ii) the holders of Opioid Claims without the consent of the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group, or (b) materially adversely affect the rights or recoveries under the Plan of the holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims without the consent of the Required Supporting Term Lenders.

 

99


The Confirmation Order shall and shall be deemed to, pursuant to both section 1123 and section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, authorize, among other things, all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate Restructuring Transactions (including any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan).

Article IV.D (“Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtors”) provides that except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated therein, including the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, on the Effective Date, all property of each Debtor’s Estate, including (a) all Causes of Action other than (i) the Assigned Third-Party Claims, and (ii) the Assigned Insurance Rights, and (b) any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan, in each case, shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall in any way limit or affect the standing of the First Lien Agent, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, or the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to appear and be heard in the Chapter 11 Cases or any other proceeding in which they are or may become party on and after the Effective Date, to enforce any provisions of the Plan or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent incurred prior to the Effective Date, the New Credit Facilities shall survive the Effective Date and shall not be terminated in accordance herewith.

Article IV.G (“Sources for Plan Distributions and Transfers of Funds Among Debtors”) provides that the Debtors shall fund Cash distributions under the Plan with Cash on hand, including Cash from operations, and the proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility. Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan will be made by the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with Article VI of the Plan. Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in any post -Effective Date agreement (including the New Governance Documents), the Reorganized Debtors will be entitled to transfer funds between and among themselves as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Reorganized Debtors to satisfy their obligations under the Plan. Except as set forth herein, any changes in intercompany account balances resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in accordance with the Debtors’ historical intercompany account settlement practices and will not violate the terms of the Plan. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in any post-Effective Date agreement (including the New Governance Documents and the New Takeback Term Loans Documentation), shall have the right and authority without further order of the Bankruptcy Court to raise additional capital and obtain additional financing in accordance with, and subject to, applicable law.

Article IV.L (“Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes and Recording Fees”) provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfer from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any Entity pursuant to, in contemplation of, or in connection with the Plan or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, securities, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such

Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action other than the Assigned Third-Party Claims, and the Assigned Insurance Rights, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any specific Cause of Action as any indication that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Opioid MDT II will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Opioid MDT II expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to any Cause of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or any order entered in these Chapter 11 Cases, as of and after the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors forever waive, relinquish, and release any and all Causes of Action the Debtors and their Estates had, have, or may have (1) against any Released Party, or (2) that arise under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code (and analogous non-bankruptcy law) against any Holder of a Trade Claim on account of such Trade Claims.

Prior to or on the Effective Date, each of the Debtors is authorized, in its sole discretion, to change its name or corporate form and to take such other action as required to effectuate a change of name or corporate form in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.

Article IV.R (“Listing of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares”) provides that, the Debtors’ board of directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, or the New York Stock Exchange on the Effective Date.

Article IV.V.1 (“Settlements of Opioid Claims - Non-Precedential Effect for Holders of Opioid Claims”) provides that the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Confirmation Order constitute a good faith full and final comprehensive compromise and settlement of Opioid Claims and controversies based upon the unique circumstances of these Chapter 11 Cases (such as the unique facts and circumstances relating to these Debtors as compared to other defendants in the general opioid litigations, and the need for an accelerated resolution without litigation) such that (i) none of the foregoing documents, nor any materials used in furtherance of Confirmation (including, but not limited to, the Disclosure Statement, and any

 

 

106


notes related to, and drafts of, such documents and materials), may be offered into evidence, deemed an admission, used as precedent, or used by any party or Person in any context whatsoever beyond the purposes of the Plan, in any other litigation or proceeding except as necessary, and as admissible in such context, to enforce their terms and to evidence the terms of the Plan before the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and (ii) any obligation by any party, in furtherance of such compromise and settlement, to not exercise rights that might be otherwise applicable to such party shall be understood to be an obligation solely in connection with this specific compromise and settlement and to be inapplicable in the absence of such compromise and settlement. the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Confirmation Order will be binding as to the matters and issues described therein, but will not be binding with respect to similar matters or issues that might arise in any other litigation or proceeding involving Opioid Claims in which none of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts is a party; provided that such litigation or proceeding is not to enforce or evidence the terms of the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order. Any Opioid Claimants’ support of, or position or action taken in connection with, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Confirmation Order may differ from his position or testimony in any other litigation or proceeding except in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases. Further, the treatment of Opioid Claims as set forth in the Plan is not intended to serve as an example for, or represent the parties’ respective positions or views concerning any other chapter 11 cases relating to opioid products, nor shall it be used as precedent by any Entity or party in any other chapter 11 cases related to opioid products.

Article IV.V.2 (“Settlements of Opioid Claims - Transferability of Opioid Claim Distribution Rights”) provides that any right of a Holder of an Opioid Claim to receive a distribution or other payment from the Opioid MDT II or the Opioid Creditor Trusts on account of an Opioid Claim shall not be evidenced by any certificate, security, receipt or in any other form or manner whatsoever, except on the books and records of the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts, as applicable. Further, any right of a Holder of an Opioid Claim to receive a Distribution or other payment from the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts on account of an Opioid Claim shall be nontransferable and nonassignable except by will, intestate, succession or operation of law. Any rights of Holders of Opioid Claims to receive a Distribution or other payment from the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts on account of Opioid Claims shall not constitute “securities” and shall not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act. If it is determined that such rights constitute “securities,” the exemption provisions of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code would be satisfied and such securities would be exempt from registration.

Article IV.W.1 (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Transfer of Books and Records to the Opioid MDT II”) provides that, on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to the Opioid MDT II copies of all books and records necessary for, and for the sole purpose of enabling and to the extent necessary to enable, the defense of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement,35 including, for the avoidance of doubt, both privileged and non-privileged documents; provided, that, after the transfer of such books and records the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may destroy copies of such books and records in accordance with their record management policies. The transfer of any privileged books and records provided to the Opioid MDT II necessary for the defense of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) shall not result in the destruction or waiver of any applicable privileges pertaining to such books and records. No documents or communications subject to a privilege shall be publicly disclosed by the Opioid MDT II or communicated to any person not entitled to receive such information or in a manner that would diminish the protected status of such information, unless such disclosure or

 

35 

Cooperation Agreement will provide for sharing of information by the Opioid MDT II with Opioid Creditor Trusts required for defense of Opioid Claims.

 

107


communication is reasonably necessary to defend the Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands). Further, pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, none of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any of the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ Affiliates or the Disinterested Managers shall be liable for violating any confidentiality or privacy protections as a result of transferring the books and records to the Opioid MDT II in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, and the Opioid MDT II, upon receipt of the books and records, shall take appropriate steps to comply with any such applicable protections.

Article IV.W.2.a (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Funding the Opioid MDT II Opioid MDT II Funding Amount”) provides that the Opioid MDT II shall be funded solely by the Opioid MDT II Consideration. On the Effective Date, the obligations to provide the Opioid MDT II Consideration shall constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtors, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof. The financial accommodations to be extended in connection with the Opioid MDT II Consideration are being extended, and shall be deemed to have been extended, in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, are reasonable, shall not be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination (including equitable subordination) for any purposes whatsoever, and shall not constitute preferential transfers, fraudulent conveyances, or other voidable transfers under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable non-bankruptcy law.

Article IV.W.2.b (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Funding the Opioid MDT II Payments to the Opioid MDT II”) provides that, on the Effective Date, the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors will make the Initial Opioid MDT II Payment, and thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors or Reorganized Mallinckrodt will make each of the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments subject to the Prepayment Option; provided 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 the agreements governing their funded indebtedness (as may be modified from time to time), 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 MDT II; and the amount of such net proceeds actually conveyed to the Opioid MDT II will be deemed a ratable repayment against the remaining Opioid Deferred Cash Payments that the Opioid MDT II 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. The Debtors intend that payments to the Opioid MDT II (whenever made, and from whatever source) will constitute “restitution . . . for damage or harm” 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 a government or governmental entity. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence is intended to apply to the tax characterization of payments to the Opioid MDT II on account of Opioid Claims, and such tax characterization shall not be construed to be dispositive for any non-tax purpose. Nor shall such tax characterization be construed to mean that Debtors’ payments satisfy the full extent of the liability associated with Opioid Claims, the satisfaction of which remains a valuable right assigned to the Opioid MDT II, nor that the remaining liability associated with Opioid Claims seeks restitution as a form of relief.

Article IV.W.2.c (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Funding the Opioid MDT II New Opioid Warrants”) provides that, on the Effective Date, Reorganized Mallinckrodt shall issue, and the Debtors shall cause to be transferred, the New Opioid Warrants to the Opioid MDT II.36

The Opioid MDT II may not be the owner of the New Opioid Warrants for tax purposes, but may hold the New Opioid Warrants as agent or trustee for its beneficiaries.

Article IV.W.2.d (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Funding the Opioid MDT II Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights”) provides that, as of the Effective Date, the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed to have assigned the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights to the Opioid MDT II; provided, that the exercise of remedies (including rights of setoff and/or recoupment) by non-Debtor third parties against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (but not the Opioid MDT II) on account of any Assigned Third-Party Claims shall be enjoined and barred. The Reorganized Debtors shall transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to the Opioid MDT II copies of books and records necessary for, and for the sole purpose of enabling and to the extent necessary to enable, the prosecution of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, both privileged and non-privileged documents; provided, that, after the transfer of such books and records the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may destroy copies of such books and records in accordance with their record management policies. Such transfer shall not result in the destruction or waiver of any applicable privileges pertaining to such books and records. No documents or communications subject to a privilege shall be publicly disclosed by the Opioid MDT II or communicated to any person not entitled to receive such information or in a manner that would diminish the protected status of such information, unless such disclosure or communication is reasonably necessary to preserve, secure, prosecute, or obtain the benefit of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights. The Opioid MDT II shall be authorized to conduct Rule 2004 examinations, to the fullest extent permitted thereunder, to investigate the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights, without the requirement of filing a motion for such authorization; provided, however, that no such Rule 2004 examinations shall be taken of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective then-current or former employees, officers, directors or Representatives without further order of the Bankruptcy Court (if the Chapter 11 Cases remain open) after notice and an opportunity to object and be heard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) employees, officers, directors or Representatives of Medtronic plc and/or its subsidiaries, and each of their predecessors, successors, and assigns, are not exempt from Rule 2004 examinations, and nothing herein shall interfere with the obligations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective then-current or former employees, officers, directors or Representatives to cooperate with the Opioid MDT II as set forth herein and in the Cooperation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the context of an actual pending litigation or contested matter, the rules of discovery applicable to such litigation or contested matter will control. 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 and the MSGE Group or the Opioid MDT II, on the other hand, shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith concerning (x) treatment of unsatisfied self-insured retentions under the applicable Insurance Contracts with the objective of minimizing adverse consequences to Mallinckrodt, Reorganized Mallinckrodt, and the Opioid MDT II (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 (y) any actions by the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or the Opioid MDT II to pursue or preserve the Insurance Contracts relating to the Assigned Insurance Rights.

Article IV.W.3 (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights Cooperation”) provides that, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and counsel to the MSGE Group in connection

The Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to provide all available, non-privileged information relating to the Assigned Third- Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights to counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and to counsel to the MSGE Group during the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases; provided, however, that such information shall be provided prior to entry of the Confirmation Order. On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Opioid MDT II in connection with the Opioid MDT II’s investigation, preservation, pursuit, and securing of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights. The terms and conditions of such cooperation shall be set forth in the Cooperation Agreement and included in the Confirmation Order. The Opioid MDT II 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 Effective Date. Any request by the Opioid MDT II, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, or the MSGE Group for cooperation by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall be on reasonable advance notice, and provided during normal business hours and otherwise in a manner that does not disrupt commercial operations.

Article IV.W.4 (“Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II – Vesting of the Opioid MDT II Consideration in the Opioid MDT II”) provides that, on the Effective Date or on the date which an Opioid Deferred Cash Payment is actually made, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan and in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents, the Opioid MDT II Consideration shall be transferred or issued to and vest in the Opioid MDT II free and clear of all Claims, Interests, Liens, other encumbrances and liabilities of any kind (other than the Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands)).

The Opioid MDT II’s liability for such assumed Opioid Claims shall be limited to the U.S. Government Opioids Claim Share, and the Other Opioid Claims Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and the Opioid MDT II Documents, the Opioid MDT II shall have all defenses, cross-claims, offsets, and recoupments, as well as rights of indemnification, contribution, subrogation, and similar rights, regarding such Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors has or would have had under applicable law.

However, the applicable Claimant and its counsel, in their sole discretion, may agree that an amount up to but not exceeding 40% of the amount payable under Article IV.X.8 of the Plan may be applied to the reimbursement of actual costs and expenses incurred by such Claimant’s counsel, in which case such agreed cost-reimbursement amount shall not reduce the contingency fee amounts payable to such counsel.

Article IV.Y (“Administration of Opioid Claims”) provides that, all Opioid Claims will be administered, liquidated and discharged pursuant to the applicable Opioid MDT II Documents or Opioid Creditor Trust Documents. The Opioid MDT II Trustee(s) and Opioid Creditor Trustee(s), as applicable, shall determine the eligibility, amount and Allowance of the applicable Opioid Claims in accordance with the applicable Opioid MDT II Documents or Opioid Creditor Trust Documents.

Distributions in respect of Allowed Opioid Claims shall be made by the applicable Opioid MDT II Trustee(s) or Opioid Creditor Trustee(s), in accordance with the trust distribution procedures and other provisions of the applicable Opioid MDT II Documents or Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, from the applicable Opioid MDT II or Opioid Creditor Trust. Distributions from the Opioid MDT II, Opioid Creditor Trusts, and the Ratepayer Account shall be the sole source of recovery for Holders of Allowed Opioid Claims, and no Holder of an Opioid Claim shall have any other or further recourse to the Opioid Creditor Trusts, the Opioid MDT II, the Debtors or their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, NewCo, any NewCo Subsidiaries, or the Released Parties. Holders of disallowed Opioid Claims shall have no recourse to the Opioid Creditor Trusts, the Ratepayer Account, the Opioid MDT II, the Debtors or their Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, NewCo, any NewCo Subsidiaries, or the Released Parties in respect of such disallowed Claims.

Article IV.Y.4 (“Administration of Opioid Claims - Disallowance of Other Opioid Claims”) provides that, any Other Opioid Claims held by an Entity from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, as determined by a Final Order, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Other Opioid Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Other Opioid Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

Article IV.Y.5 (“Administration of Opioid Claims - Estimation of Other Opioid Claims”) provides that, the Opioid MDT II Administrator may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Other Opioid Claims pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason or purpose, regardless of whether the Opioid MDT II Administrator has previously objected to such Other Opioid Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Other Opioid Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Other Opioid Claim, including, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. If the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Other Opioid Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute the maximum limitation on such Other Opioid Claim, and the Opioid MDT II Administrator may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the ultimate allowance of such Other Opioid Claim. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Other Opioid Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any holder of an Other Opioid Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such Other Opioid Claim unless the holder of such Other Opioid Claim has filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before twenty (20) calendar days after the date such Other Opioid Claim is estimated by the Bankruptcy Court. The Opioid MDT II Administrator reserves the right to reduce the Other Opioid Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with any such estimation.

Article IV.Y.6 (“Administration of Opioid Claims - Periodic Distributions from Other Opioid Claims Reserve”) provides that, the Opioid MDT II Trustee(s) shall make distributions from time to time in their discretion from the Other Opioid Claims Reserve to holders of Allowed Other Opioid Claims, upon their determination that after distribution, and consistent with and subject to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Other Opioid Claims Reserve shall entitle such holder an aggregate amount equal to the Pro Rata Share of each distribution that would have been made to holders of Other Opioid Claims that remain Disputed and allocate such amount to the Other Opioid Claims Reserve as if each such Other Opioid Claim that remains Disputed were Allowed Claims, for each Other Opioid Claim in the amount equal to the least of (i) the filed amount of such Other Opioid Claim, (ii) the amount determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of fixing the amount to be retained for such Other Opioid Claim, and (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the Holder of such Other Opioid Claim and the Opioid MDT II Administrator.

Treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; Employee Benefits; and Insurance Policies

Article V of the Plan governs the treatment of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, among other things.

Article V.A (“Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases”) provides on the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases not previously rejected, assumed, or assumed and assigned pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code except any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) identified on the Rejected Executory

 

116


Contract/Unexpired Lease List (which shall initially be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Plan Supplement Filing Date) as an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be rejected, (2) that is the subject of a separate motion or notice to reject pending as of the Confirmation Date, or (3) that previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms (disregarding any terms the effect of which is invalidated by the Bankruptcy Code).

Further, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumption of the Restructuring Support Agreement pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Restructuring Support Agreement shall be binding and enforceable against the parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the assumption of the Restructuring Support Agreement herein shall not otherwise modify, alter, amend, or supersede any of the terms or conditions of the Restructuring Support Agreement including, without limitation, any termination events or provisions thereunder.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumptions of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order, and not assigned to a third party on or prior to the Effective Date, shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the execution of any other Restructuring Transaction (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, consummation of the Restructuring Transactions shall not be deemed an assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease of the Debtors, notwithstanding any change in name, organizational form, or jurisdiction of organization of any Debtor in connection with the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, (except for the Consent Rights of Supporting Parties in Article I.C of the Plan), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to amend or supplement the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List in their discretion prior to the Confirmation Date (or such later date as may be permitted by Article V.B or Article V.E of the Plan), provided that the Debtors shall give prompt notice of any such amendment or supplement to any affected counterparty and such counterparty shall have no less than seven (7) days to object thereto on any grounds.

Article V.B (“Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases”) provides that any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Cost in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree. No later than the Plan Supplement Filing Date, to the extent not previously Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on affected counterparties, the Debtors shall provide notices of the proposed assumption and proposed Cure Costs to be sent to applicable counterparties, together with procedures for objecting thereto and for resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objection by a contract or lease counterparty to a proposed assumption or related Cure Cost must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors by the date on which objections to confirmation are due (or such other date as may be provided in the applicable assumption notice).

 

117


Furthermore, any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or Cure Cost will be deemed to have assented to such assumption and Cure Cost. Any timely objection to a proposed assumption or Cure Cost will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the Reorganized Debtors’ first scheduled omnibus hearing after the date that is ten (10) days after the date on which such objection is Filed. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any Cure Cost, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code under any Executory Contract or the Unexpired Lease, and/or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption and/or assignment, then such dispute shall be resolved by a Final Order; provided that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may settle any such dispute and shall pay any agreed upon Cure Cost without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan (except for the Consent Rights of Supporting Parties in Article I.C of the Plan), the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease previously designated for assumption within forty five (45) days after the entry of a Final Order resolving an objection to the assumption or to the proposed Cure Cost.

Furthermore, assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full satisfaction and cure of any Claims and defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy- related defaults, under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease arising at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will continue to honor all postpetition and post-Effective Date obligations under any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with their terms, regardless of whether such obligations are listed as a Cure Cost, and whether such obligations accrued prior to or after the Effective Date, and neither the payment of Cure Costs nor entry of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, from such obligations.

Article V.C (“Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases”) provides that unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any Proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise must be filed with the Notice and Claims Agent within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the rejection of the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be automatically disallowed without further order of the Bankruptcy Court. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall constitute General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III.B of the Plan

Article V.D (“Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date “) provides that any contracts or leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, will be performed by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, liable thereunder in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

Article V.E (“Reservation of Rights”) is a reservation of the Debtors’ rights and provides that neither anything contained in the Plan nor the Debtors’ delivery of a notice of proposed assumption and proposed Cure Cost to any contract and lease counterparties, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any

 

118


such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease. If there is a dispute regarding a Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s liability under an assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Article X.C of the Plan.

Article V.F (“Indemnification Provisions and Reimbursement Obligations”) provides that, on and as of the Effective Date, and except as prohibited by applicable law and subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, the Indemnification Provisions will be assumed and irrevocable and will survive the effectiveness of the Plan, and the New Governance Documents will provide to the fullest extent provided by law for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ current and former directors, officers, equity holders, managers, members, employees, accountants, investment bankers, attorneys, other professionals, agents of the Debtors, and such current and former directors’, officers’, equity holders’, managers’, members’ and employees’ respective Affiliates (each of the foregoing solely in their capacity as such) at least to the same extent as the Indemnification Provisions, against any Claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, and, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, none of the Reorganized Debtors will amend and/or restate the New Governance Documents before or after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect any of the Indemnification Provisions.

Article V.G (“Co-Defendant Indemnification Obligations”) provides that, as of the Effective Date, any term of any policy, contract or other obligation applicable to any Debtor shall be void and of no further force or effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent such policy, contract or other obligation creates an obligation of any Debtor, or gives rise to a right under any Insurance Contract of any Debtor, for the indemnification or reimbursement of any Person other than the Opioid MDT II for costs, losses, damages, fees, expenses or any other amounts whatsoever relating to or arising from any actual or potential litigation or dispute, whether accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, existing or hereinafter arising, based on or relating to or in connection with, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, any Opioid Claim or any Opioid Demand (excluding any indemnification obligations expressly assumed pursuant to, or otherwise provided for in, the Plan) . Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall interfere with the Assigned Insurance Rights or the Opioid MDT II’s exercise of the Assigned Insurance Rights.

The Plan shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, constitute (i) an amendment to each assumed or assumed and assigned contract to sever any and all provisions thereof that give rise to any obligation or right described in Article V.G of the Plan and (ii) an agreement by each counterparty to release any and all obligations and liabilities arising under or relating to such severed provisions and any and all Co-Defendant Claims and Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) arising under such contract, including any Co-Defendant Claims and Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) that might otherwise be elevated to administrative status through assumption of such contract. The severed portion of each such contract shall be rejected as of the Effective Date, and any Claims resulting from such rejection shall be forever released and discharged, with no distribution on account thereof. Except to the extent included in the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List, each such contract, solely as amended pursuant to Article V.G of the Plan, shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor and, as applicable, may be assigned to NewCo (or one of the NewCo Subsidiaries). No counterparty or any other Person shall have or retain any Claim, Cause of Action or other right of recovery against the Debtors or any other Person, including without limitation NewCo or any Insurer, except for the Other Opioid Claims Reserve (if applicable), for or relating to any obligation or right described in Article V.G of the

 

 

119


Plan, any Co-Defendant Claim or the amendment of any contract, or the severance and rejection of obligations and liabilities in connection therewith, described in Article V.G of the Plan. On the Effective Date, all Co-Defendant Claims arising under or related to any contract of the Debtors shall be released and discharged to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law with no consideration on account thereof, and all Proofs of Claim in respect thereof shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice, or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Person, and any Opioid Claims arising under or related to any contract of the Debtors will be treated in accordance with Article of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, no Co-Defendant Claim or Opioid Claim will be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors or NewCo, elevated to administrative priority status or otherwise receive modified treatment as a result of the assumption or assumption and assignment of any contract pursuant to Article V.G of the Plan.

The Debtors shall provide notice to all known counterparties to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease of Article V.G of the Plan. To the extent an objection is not timely filed and properly served on the Debtors with respect to any contract of the Debtors in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order, the counterparty to such contract and all other Persons shall be bound by and deemed to have assented to the amendment of such contract, the assumption or assumption and assignment of such amended contract and the severance and release of obligations, liabilities and Claims described in Article V.G of the Plan. Except to the extent that the Holder of a Co-Defendant Claim otherwise agrees or fails to object to such treatment, the assumption or rejection of a contract or lease with the Holder of a Co-Defendant Claim shall not operate as a release, waiver or discharge of any Co-Defendant Defensive Rights or Co-Defendant Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, if a counterparty to any contract timely files and properly serves an objection on the Debtors, (x) such objecting party will not be bound by Article V.G. of the Plan, (y) any Cure Costs for such contract (if applicable) will be payable only by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or NewCo (as applicable), and (z) any Claims for rejection damages (if applicable) relating to the Co-Defendant Claims arising thereunder will be either Other Opioid Claims or No Recovery Opioid Claims and treated in accordance with the Plan, and any other Claims for rejection damages (if applicable) will be General Unsecured Claims.

Article V.H (“Employee Compensation and Benefits”) concerns the Debtors’ Compensation and Benefit Programs and the Debtors’ Workers’ Compensation Programs.

Article V.H.1 provides that, subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs (other than awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other equity awards) shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. All Proofs of Claim Filed for amounts due under any Compensation and Benefits Program shall be considered satisfied by the applicable agreement and/or program and agreement to assume and cure in the ordinary course as provided in the Plan. All collective bargaining agreements to which any Debtor is a party, and all Compensation and Benefits Programs which are maintained pursuant to such collective bargaining agreements or to which contributions are made or benefits provided pursuant to a current or past collective bargaining agreement, will be deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Reorganized Debtors reserve all of their rights under such agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall honor all their obligations under section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code. None of the Restructuring, the Restructuring Transactions, or any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the terms in the Plan shall be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, vesting, termination, acceleration or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

 

 

120


Article V.H.2 provides that as of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under: (a) all applicable state workers’ compensation laws; and (b) the Workers’ Compensation Contracts. All Proofs of Claims filed by the Debtors’ current or former employees on account of workers’ compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court based upon the treatment provided for herein; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to the Workers’ Compensation Contracts; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable non-bankruptcy law and/or the Workers’ Compensation Contracts.

Additionally, under the Plan, except with respect to the Opioid Insurance Policies and the Assigned Insurance Rights, the Debtors intend to assume all Insurance Contracts to the extent they are Executory Contracts, and to the extent they are not Executory Contracts, the vesting of all Estate assets in the Reorganized Debtors will include any non-executory rights under any Insurance Contracts or other insurance policies. Further, to the extent that any self- insured retentions are required and remain to be paid under any applicable Opioid Insurance Policy or in connection with any Assigned Insurance Rights, the obligation to make such payments will not be Impaired by the Plan.

 

  F.

Provisions Governing Distributions

Article VI of the Plan sets forth the mechanics by which Plan distributions will be made. As set forth more fully therein, Article VI of the Plan provides, among other things, that (a) subject to certain exceptions, distributions under the Plan of the full amount provided for thereunder (i) on account of Claims and Interests, other than Opioid Claims, Allowed on or before the Effective Date will generally be made on the Initial Distribution Date, and (ii) on account of Disputed Claims other than Opioid Claims, Allowed after the Effective Date will generally be made on the next Periodic Distribution Date that is at least thirty (30) days after the Claim is Allowed (VI.A-C).

Article VI.D.1 (“Delivery of Distributions – Record Date for Distributions”) provides that for purposes of making distributions on the Initial Distribution Date only, the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those Holders of Claims other than Opioid Claims reflected in the Debtors’ books and records as of the close of business on the Confirmation Date; provided, however, that such record date will not apply to any distributions related to the First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, or Guaranteed Unsecured Notes maintained through DTC, and the record date for Holders of Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims shall be the Effective Date. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if a Claim other than an Opioid Claim is transferred (a) twenty-one (21) or more days before the Confirmation Date and reasonably satisfactory documentation evidencing such transfer is Filed with the Bankruptcy Court before the Confirmation Date, the Distribution Agent shall make the applicable distributions to the applicable transferee, or (b) twenty (20) or fewer days before the Confirmation Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form is Filed with the Bankruptcy Court before the Confirmation Date and contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

Article VI.D.2 (“Delivery of Distributions – Delivery of Distributions in General “) provides that except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims other than Opioid Claims at the address for each such Holder as indicated in the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution, including the address set forth in any Proof of Claim Filed by that Holder or, with respect to Holders of Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims, the address recorded as of the Effective Date in the register maintained by the First Lien Agent, as applicable; provided that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

121


Article VI.D.3 (“Delivery of Distributions – Distributions by Distribution Agents”) provides that the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the authority to enter into agreements with one or more Distribution Agents to facilitate the distributions required hereunder. Except in the case of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, each serving as a Distribution Agent, to the extent the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, determine to utilize a Distribution Agent to facilitate the distributions under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims other than Opioid Claims, Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims, and Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims, any such Distribution Agent would first be required to: (a) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any documents; (b) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any recoveries or distributions required under the Plan; and (c) waive any right or ability to setoff, deduct from or assert any lien or encumbrance against the distributions required under the Plan to be distributed by such Distribution Agent; provided, that no Distribution Agent (including the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee) will be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

Subject to Section Article VI.D.4 of the Plan, distributions on account of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims will be made to or at the direction of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee or Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, as applicable, and such trustee will be, and will act as, the Distribution Agent with respect to the applicable Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable debt documents. Distributions on account of the Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims will be made to the First Lien Agent or the New Takeback Term Loan Agent, as applicable, and the First Lien Agent or the New Takeback Term Loan Agent (as applicable) will be, and will act as, the Distribution Agent with respect to the Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable debt documents.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay to the Distribution Agents all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Distribution Agents without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, or consents. The Distribution Agents shall submit detailed invoices to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for all fees and expenses for which the Distribution Agent seeks reimbursement and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall promptly pay those amounts that they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable, and shall object in writing to those fees and expenses, if any, that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, deem to be unreasonable. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, object to all or any portion of the amounts requested to be reimbursed in a Distribution Agent’s invoice, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and such Distribution Agent shall endeavor, in good faith, to reach mutual agreement on the amount of the appropriate payment of such disputed fees and/or expenses. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and a Distribution Agent are unable to resolve any differences regarding disputed fees or expenses, either party shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court.

Article VI.D.4 (“Delivery of Distributions – Distributions to Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims”) provides that the distributions of Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be made under the Plan to Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims shall be deemed made by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee which shall transmit (or cause to be transmitted) such distributions to such Holders as set forth below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, may transfer or facilitate the transfer of such distributions through the facilities of DTC in exchange for the relevant Guaranteed Unsecured Notes. If it is necessary to adopt alternate, additional or supplemental distribution procedures for any reason including because such distributions cannot be made through the facilities of DTC, to otherwise effectuate the distributions under the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized

 

122


Debtors, as applicable, shall implement the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall use their best efforts to make the Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be distributed to Holders of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes eligible for distribution through the facilities of DTC.

The distributions of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be made under the Plan to Holders of Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims as part of the General Unsecured Claims Distribution shall be deemed made by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee which shall transmit (or cause to be transmitted) such distributions to such Holders as set forth below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, may transfer or facilitate the transfer of such distributions through the facilities of DTC in exchange for the relevant Legacy Unsecured Notes. If it is necessary to adopt alternate, additional or supplemental distribution procedures for any reason including because such distributions cannot be made through the facilities of DTC, to otherwise effectuate the distributions under the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall implement the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall use their best efforts to make the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be distributed to Holders of the Legacy Unsecured Notes eligible for distribution through the facilities of DTC.

The obligations of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee under or in connection with the Plan, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indentures, the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indentures, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, the Legacy Unsecured Notes, and any related notes, stock, instruments, certificates, agreements, side letters, fee letters, and other documents, shall be discharged and deemed fully satisfied upon the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, each in its capacity as trustee shall be appointed and act as a Distribution Agent with respect to the applicable Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims to facilitate the distributions provided for in the Plan to the applicable Holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims. The obligations of each of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, under or in connection with the Plan shall be discharged and deemed fully satisfied upon either: (i) DTC’s receipt of the distributions with respect to the Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims; or (ii) if the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process is utilized, upon the earlier of the completion of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee’s or Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee’s role in such process or in accordance with the terms of the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process and, in either case, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall not, in any capacity, have liability to any person for having made, or facilitating the making of, the distributions through the foregoing items (i) and (ii). The Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, each as a Distribution Agent under the Plan will be entitled to recognize and deal with for all purposes the Holders of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes or Legacy Unsecured Notes to the extent necessary to facilitate the distributions with respect to Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims to such Holders. Regardless of which capacity it is acting, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee or the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee in any capacity shall not be responsible for, and may conclusively rely on, the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process.

Notwithstanding any policies, practices or procedures of DTC or any other applicable clearing system, DTC and all other applicable clearing systems shall cooperate with and take all actions reasonably requested by the Notice and Claims Agent, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, or the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to facilitate distributions to Holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims without requiring that such

 

 

123


distributions be characterized as repayments of principal or interest. No Distribution Agent, including the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee in any capacity, shall be required to provide indemnification or other security to DTC in connection with any distributions to Holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims through the facilities of DTC.

Article VI.D.5 (“Delivery of Distributions – Minimum Distributions”) provides that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than on account of Unimpaired Claims, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agents shall not be required to make distributions or payments of less than $100 (whether Cash or otherwise) and shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars or distributions of fractions of a New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Share. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar or a fraction of a New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Share would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding down of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar or nearest whole New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Share.

Article VI.D.6 (“Delivery of Distributions – Undeliverable Distributions”) provides that undeliverable distributions will remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to Article VI.D.5.b of the Plan, until such time as any such distributions become deliverable or are otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law. Undeliverable distributions will not be entitled to any additional interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind on account of their distribution being undeliverable. Nothing contained in the Plan requires the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim. Further, checks issued by the Reorganized Debtors (or their Distribution Agent) on account of Allowed Claims are null and void if not negotiated within 90 days after the issuance of such check. Requests for reissuance of any check will be made directly to the Distribution Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued.

Finally, as set forth more fully in the Plan, Article VI of the Plan provides, among other things, that (a) to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors will comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be subject to such requirements (VI.E); (b) except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the applicability of Insurance Contracts (VI.F); (c) all distributions to Holders of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) shall be made by and from the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable (VI.G); (d) except with respect to the 2024 First Lien Term Loan Claims and the 2025 First Lien Term Loan Claims and as otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Reorganized Debtors), distributions with respect to an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the principal portion of such Allowed Claim (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any (VI.H); and (e) notwithstanding anything else in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, postpetition interest shall accrue and be paid on the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims, the First Lien Term Loan Claims, the First Lien Notes Claims, and the Second Lien Notes Claims as set forth in the Plan, and unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan (including the preceding sentence and Article II.B.2 of the Plan), the Confirmation Order, the Cash Collateral Order, or Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, as required pursuant to section 506(b) or section 511 of the Bankruptcy Code), postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any other Claims and no Holder of any other Claims shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim (VI.I).

 

  G.

Procedures for Resolving Disputed, Contingent, and Unliquidated Claims or Interests

Article VII.A (“Allowance and Disallowance of Claims Other than Opioid Claims”) provides that, after the Effective Date, and except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will have and

will retain any and all available rights and defenses that the Debtors had with respect to any Claim other than Opioid Claims and any other Claims Allowed under the Plan (including the First Lien Term Loan Claims), including the right to assert any objection to Claims based on the limitations imposed by section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, but are not required to, contest the amount and validity of any Disputed Claim other than Opioid Claims or contingent or unliquidated Claim other than Opioid Claims in the ordinary course of business in the manner and venue in which such Claim would have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

Article VII.B (“Prosecution of Objections to Claims other than Opioid Claims”) provides that, after the Confirmation Date but before the Effective Date, the Debtors, and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors will have the authority to File objections to Claims (other than Claims that are Allowed under the Plan or Opioid Claims) and settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to any and all such Claims, regardless of whether such Claims are in an Unimpaired Class or otherwise; provided, however, this provision will not apply to Professional Fee Claims, which may be objected to by any party-in-interest in these Chapter 11 Cases. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim other than Opioid Claims without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtors will have the sole authority to administer and adjust the Claims Register and their respective books and records to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Article VII.C (“Estimation of Claims and Interests of than Opioid Claims”) provides that before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim other than any Opioid Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection; and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection; provided that if the Bankruptcy Court resolves the Allowed amount of a Claim, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not be permitted to seek an estimation of such Claim. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim subject to applicable law.

Article VII.D (“No Distributions Pending Allowance”) provides that if any portion of a Claim other than an Opioid Claim is Disputed, no payment or distribution provided in the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim

Article VII.E (“Time to File Objections to Administrative Claims”) provides that any objections to Administrative Claims shall be Filed on or before the Administrative Claims Objection Deadline, subject to any extensions thereof approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Article VII.F (“Procedures Regarding Opioid Claims”) provides that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Articles VII.A through VII.E of the Plan shall not apply to any Opioid Claims, and all procedures for resolving contingent, unliquidated, and disputed Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) shall be governed by the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable.

 

125


Article VII.G (“No Filing of Proofs of Claim for Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims”) provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims shall not be required to File a Proof of Claim or a request for payment of an Administrative Claim on account of such Holder’s Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims, and no such Holders should File such a Proof of Claim or such request for payment; provided , however, that a Holder of an Opioid Claim or VI Opioid Claim that wishes to assert Claims against the Debtors that are not Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims must File a Proof of Claim or a request for payment of an Administrative Claim with respect to such Claims which are not Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims on or before the applicable Claims Bar Date. The Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts will make distributions on account of Opioid Claims in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable. Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall File a report identifying all Proofs of Claim that are reasonably determined by the Debtors, in consultation with the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, the MSGE Group, the Future Claims Representative, and the Opioid MDT II Trustee(s), to be on account of any Opioid Claim, and upon the Filing of such report and notice to the Holders of such Proofs of Claim who shall have 14 days to object to such determination, all identified Proofs of Claim shall be deemed withdrawn and removed from the applicable claims register; provided that Proofs of Claim on account of Opioid Claims filed after the Effective Date shall automatically be deemed withdrawn and expunged; provided, further, that upon a motion and hearing with notice to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, the MSGE Group, the Future Claimants Representative, the Opioid MDT II Trustee(s), and, solely in the case of clause (b) below, the Holders of affected Proofs of Claim, the Debtors (a) may seek an extension to the deadline to File such report from the Bankruptcy Court and (b) may seek determination by the Bankruptcy Court that any Proof of Claim is on account of any Opioid Claim.

Article VII.H.1 (“Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve”) provides that on or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right, but are not required, to establish a Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve in Cash from the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool and the Trade Claim Cash Pool Unallocated Amount. Such Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve may also include New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable from the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool that will be issued by the Reorganized Debtors if and when needed for distributions from the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Governance Documents shall ensure that the Reorganized Debtors are able to issue the number of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares needed to satisfy obligations of the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool. The Debtors reserve the right to estimate the value of Disputed General Unsecured Claims in the Bankruptcy Court for distribution purposes and to reduce the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with any such estimation.

Article VII.H.2 provides that subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall treat the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and Holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims) shall be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

Article VII.H.3 provides that the Reorganized Debtors shall hold in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve all distributions to be made on account of (a) Disputed General Unsecured Claims and (b) Disputed Trade Claims whose Holders (i) vote to reject the Plan or (ii) do not agree to maintain Favorable Trade Terms in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Disclosure Statement Order, for the benefit of all Holders Claims entitled to receive a General Unsecured Claims Distribution. All taxes imposed on the assets or income of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve shall be payable by the Reorganized Debtors from the assets of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve.

 

 

126


Article VII.H.4 provides that in the event assets in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve are insufficient to satisfy all of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims that have become Allowed, such Allowed Claims shall be satisfied pro rata from such remaining assets in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve. After all assets have been distributed from the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve, no further distributions shall be made in respect of Disputed General Unsecured Claims. At such time as all Disputed General Unsecured Claims have been resolved, any remaining assets in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve shall be distributed pro rata to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims.

Article VII.H.5 provides that the Reorganized Debtors may request an expedited determination of taxes under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all returns filed for or on behalf of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve for all taxable periods through the date on which final distributions are made.

Article VII.I (“Distributions After Allowance”) provides that to the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtors shall provide to the Holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any postpetition interest to be paid on account of such Claim.

Article VII.J (“Disallowance of Certain First Lien Credit Agreement Claims, First Lien Notes Claims, and Second Lien Notes Claims”) provides that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan (except for the Consent Rights of Supporting Parties in Article I.C of the Plan), the following Claims shall be disallowed on the Effective Date except as otherwise ordered by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court before the Effective Date: (a) any First Lien Credit Agreement Claims (i) for default rate interest under Section 2.13(c) of the First Lien Credit Agreement in excess of the non-default rate applicable under Sections 2.13(a) or (b) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, or (ii) for interest based on the asserted conversion of any “Eurocurrency Borrowing” to an “ABR Borrowing” (each as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) under Section 2.07(e) of the First Lien Credit Agreement, to the extent such interest exceeds the interest payable on such borrowing as a Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims shall include the applicable amount of First Lien Term Loans Accrued and Unpaid Interest and such First Lien Term Loans Accrued and Unpaid Interest shall not be subject to disallowance; provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Cash Collateral Order or the First Lien Credit Agreement, all adequate protection payments made by the Debtors pursuant to the Cash Collateral Order during the Chapter 11 Cases to the First Lien Revolving Lenders, the First Lien Term Lenders and their respective agents and professionals shall be retained by the First Lien Revolving Lenders, the First Lien Term Lenders and such agents and professionals, as applicable, and not recharacterized as principal payments (other than payments of principal made on or prior to April 23, 2021 and First Lien Term Loan Principal Payments) or otherwise subject to disgorgement, recovery, or avoidance by any party under any legal or equitable theory regardless of whether such payments arguably exceed the Allowed amount of the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims or the First Lien Term Loan Claims, as applicable (b) any First Lien Notes Claims (i) for any principal premium in excess of the principal amount of such Claims outstanding immediately before the Petition Date, including for any “Applicable Premium” (as defined in the First Lien Notes Indenture) or optional redemption premium, (ii) for any “Additional Amounts” (as defined in the First Lien Notes Indenture), or (iii) for default rate interest under Section 2.11 of the First Lien Notes Indenture; (c) any Second Lien Notes Claims (i) for any principal premium in excess of the principal amount of such Claims outstanding immediately before the Petition Date, including for any “Applicable Premium” (as defined in the Second Lien Notes Indenture) or optional redemption premium, (ii) for any “Additional Amounts” (as defined in the Second Lien Notes Indenture), or (iii) for default rate interest under Section 2.11 of the Second Lien Notes Indenture; and (d) any Claims for payment of

Any and all such New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants) and New Opioid Warrants so issued under the Plan and, where applicable, the Scheme of Arrangement, will be freely tradable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and any rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such Securities and instruments; and (3) any other applicable regulatory approval.

The Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Scheme of Arrangement, or the Irish Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares or New Opioid Warrants under applicable securities laws.

 

151


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Person or Entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) shall be entitled to require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the Takeback Second Lien Notes, the Cram-Down First Lien Notes or Cram-Down Second Lien Notes (if any), the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants), and the New Opioid Warrants are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. All such Persons and Entities including DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Scheme of Arrangement, or the Irish Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the Takeback Second Lien Notes, the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants), and the New Opioid Warrants are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

Corporate Governance and Management of the Reorganized Debtors

 

  1.

Debtors’ Organizational Matters

Article IV.C of the Plan (“Corporate Existence”) provides that, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate Entity, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective memorandum and articles of association, certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such memorandum and articles of association, certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended by the Plan, by the Debtors, or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be amended pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state, provincial, or federal law).

Article IV.E of the Plan (“Indemnification Provisions in Organizational Documents”) provides that as of the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor’s memorandum and articles of association, bylaws, and other New Governance Documents shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, provide for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and advancement of fees and expenses to, current and former managers, directors, officers, equity holders, members, employees, accountants, investment bankers, attorneys, other professionals, or agents of the Debtors and such current and former managers’, directors’, officers’, equity holders’, members’, employees’, accountants’, investment bankers’, attorneys’, other professionals’ and agents’ respective Affiliates to the same extent as set forth in the Indemnification Provisions, against any claims or causes of action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted. None of the Reorganized Debtors shall amend and/or restate its memorandum and articles of association, certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational document after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect, in relation to conduct occurring prior to the Effective Date, (1) any of the Indemnification Provisions or (2) the rights of such current and former managers, directors, officers, equity holders, members, employees, or agents of the Debtors and such current and former managers’, directors’, officers’, equity holders’, members’, employees’, and agents’ respective Affiliates referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

Article IV.K of the Plan (“Organizational Documents”) provides that, subject to Articles IV.E and IV.F of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall enter into such agreements and amend their corporate governance documents to the extent necessary to implement the terms and provisions of the Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall be governed by the New Governance Documents applicable to it. From and after the

 

152


Effective Date, the organizational documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors will comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable. On or immediately before the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor will file its New Governance Documents with the applicable Secretary of State and/or other applicable authorities in its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation in accordance with applicable laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, to the extent required for such New Governance Documents to become effective.

 

  2.

Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors

Article IV.M.1 of the Plan (“Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors – The Reorganized Board”) provides that, prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors will undertake any necessary or advisable steps to have the Reorganized Board in place immediately prior to the Effective Date. The occurrence of the Effective Date will serve as ratification of the appointment of the Reorganized Board.

The Reorganized Board will initially consist of at least seven (7) members, which shall be comprised of the Chief Executive Officer of the Reorganized Debtors, and six (6) other directors, which shall be designated by the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders; provided, that, the members of the Reorganized Board, other than the Reorganized Debtors’ Chief Executive Officer, shall be independent under applicable listing standards and shall be independent of the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, unless the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, the MSGE Group, and the Debtors otherwise consent; provided, further, that if the Reorganized Board is not fully selected by the Effective Date then the members of the Reorganized Board selected as of the Effective Date shall select the remaining members in consultation with the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will, to the extent reasonably practicable, disclose in advance of Confirmation the identity and affiliations of any person proposed to serve on the Reorganized Board. The occurrence of the Effective Date shall have no effect on the composition of the board of directors or managers of each of the subsidiary Debtors.

 

  3.

Senior Management

Article IV.M.2 of the Plan (“Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors – Senior Management”) provides that the existing officers of the Debtors as of the Effective Date shall remain in their current capacities as officers of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to the ordinary rights and powers of the Reorganized Board to remove or replace them in accordance with the New Governance Documents and any applicable employment agreements that are assumed pursuant to the Plan.

 

  4.

Management Incentive Plan

Article IV.M.3 the Plan (Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors – Management Incentive Plan”) provides that, on the Effective Date, equity grants under the Management Incentive Plan shall be reserved for management, key employees, and directors of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

  5.

Disinterested Managers

Article IV.M.4 the Plan (Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors – Disinterested Managers”) provides that, following the Effective Date, the Disinterested Managers shall retain authority solely with respect to matters related to Professional Fee Claim requests by Professionals acting at their authority and direction in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Disinterested Managers, in such capacity, shall not have any of their respective privileged and confidential documents, communications or information transferred (or deemed transferred) to the Reorganized Debtors.

 

153


  6.

Directors and Officers Insurance Policies

Article IV.N the Plan (“Directors and Officers Insurance Policies”) provides that, on the Effective Date the Reorganized Debtors will be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors’ D&O Liability Insurance Policies pursuant to sections 105 and 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Confirmation of the Plan will not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be Filed. The Debtors and, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain the ability to supplement such D&O Liability Insurance Policies as the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may deem necessary and in consultation with the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders. For the avoidance of doubt, entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Reorganized Debtors’ foregoing assumption of each of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

In addition, subject to the Additional Insurance Rights, on or after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policies in effect on or prior to the Effective Date, with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and all current and former directors, officers, and managers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policies for the full term of such policies regardless of whether such current and former directors, officers, and managers remain in such positions after the Effective Date, all in accordance with and subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, which shall not be altered.

VII.

CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

The Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan only if all of the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code are met. Among the requirements for confirmation are that the Plan is (A) accepted by all impaired Classes of Claims and Interests entitled to vote or, if rejected or deemed rejected by an impaired Class, that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” as to such Class; (B) in the “best interests” of the holders of Claims and Interests impaired under the Plan; and (C) feasible.

 

  A.

Confirmation Hearing

Section 1128(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court to hold a confirmation hearing upon appropriate notice to all required parties. The Confirmation Hearing is scheduled for September 21, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the Bankruptcy Court without further notice except for the announcement of the continuation date made at the Confirmation Hearing, at any subsequent continued Confirmation Hearing, or pursuant to a notice filed on the docket for the Chapter 11 Cases.

Section 1128(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that any party in interest may object to the confirmation of a plan. Any objection to confirmation of the Plan must be in writing, must conform to the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Bankruptcy Rules, must set forth the name of the objector, the nature and amount of Claims or Interests held or asserted by the objector against the Debtors’ estates or properties, the basis for the objection and the specific grounds therefore, and must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court, with a copy to the chambers of Judge John T. Dorsey, together with proof of service thereof, and served upon all of the below parties.

  B.

Confirmation

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code have been satisfied with respect to the Plan.

 

  1.

Confirmation Requirements

Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan under section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires, among other things, that:

 

   

the plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

   

the proponent of the plan has complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

   

the plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law;

 

   

any plan payment made or to be made by the proponent under the plan for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the chapter 11 case, or in connection with the plan and incident to the case, has been approved by, or is subject to the approval of, the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable;

 

156


   

the proponent has disclosed the identity and affiliations of any individual proposed to serve, after confirmation of the plan, as a director, officer, or voting trustee of the debtor, an affiliate of the debtor participating in the plan with the debtor, or a successor to the debtor under the plan. The appointment to, or continuance in, such office by such individual must be consistent with the interests of creditors and equity security holders and with public policy and the proponent must have disclosed the identity of any insider that the reorganized debtor will employ or retain, and the nature of any compensation for such insider;

 

   

with respect to each impaired class of claims or interests, either each holder of a claim or interest of such class has accepted the plan, or will receive or retain under the plan, on account of such claim or interest, property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the debtor were liquidated on such date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

   

subject to the “cramdown” provisions of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, each class of claims or interests has either accepted the plan or is not impaired under the plan;

 

   

except to the extent that the holder of a particular claim has agreed to a different treatment of such claim, the plan provides that allowed administrative expenses and priority claims will be paid in full on the effective date (except that holders of priority tax claims may receive deferred Cash payments of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the allowed amounts of such claims and that holders of priority tax claims may receive on account of such claims deferred Cash payments, over a period not exceeding 5 years after the date of assessment of such claims, of a value, as of the effective date, equal to the allowed amount of such claims);

 

   

if a class of claims is impaired, at least one (1) impaired class of claims has accepted the plan, determined without including any acceptance of the plan by any insider holding a claim in such class; and

 

   

confirmation of the plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of the debtor or any successor to the debtor under the plan, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the plan.

The Debtors believe that:

 

   

the Plan satisfies all of the statutory requirements of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

   

the Debtors, as the proponents of the Plan, have complied or will have complied with all of the requirements of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code; and

 

   

the Plan has been proposed in good faith.

Set forth below is a summary of certain relevant statutory confirmation requirements.

 

157


  a.

Acceptance

Claims in Classes 2(b) (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 2(c) (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 3 (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 4(unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 are Impaired under the Plan and are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan; Classes 1 and 2(a) are Unimpaired and are therefore conclusively deemed to accept the Plan; Classes 13 and 14 are Impaired and will receive no distributions under the Plan and therefore are conclusively deemed to reject the Plan; Claims and Interests in Classes 11 and 12 will either be Unimpaired or Impaired and receive no distributions, and will be conclusively deemed to accept or to reject the Plan, as applicable.

With respect to any Class of Claims or Interests that rejects (or is deemed to reject) the Plan, the Debtors will be required to demonstrate that the plan satisfies the requirements for nonconsensual confirmation under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (which are discussed immediately below). While the Debtors believe the Plan satisfies such requirements with respect to all Classes of Claims and Interests that may reject the Plan, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will determine that the Plan meets such requirements. The Debtors also will seek confirmation of the Plan over the objection of any individual holders of Claims who are members of an accepting Class.

 

  b.

Unfair Discrimination and Fair and Equitable Test

To obtain nonconsensual confirmation of the Plan, it must be demonstrated to the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each impaired, non-accepting Class. The Bankruptcy Code provides a non-exclusive definition of the phrase “fair and equitable” for, respectively, secured creditors, unsecured creditors and holders of equity interests. In general, section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code permits confirmation notwithstanding non-acceptance by an impaired class if that class and all junior classes are treated in accordance with the “absolute priority” rule, which requires that the dissenting class be paid in full before a junior class may receive anything under the plan.

A chapter 11 plan does not “discriminate unfairly” with respect to a non-accepting class if the value of the Cash and/or securities to be distributed to the non-accepting class is equal to, or otherwise fair when compared to, the value of the distributions to other classes whose legal rights are similar to those of the non-accepting class. The Debtors believe the Plan will not discriminate unfairly against any non-accepting Class.

 

  c.

Feasibility; Financial Projections

The Bankruptcy Code permits a plan to be confirmed only if confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any successor to the Debtors, unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the Plan. For purposes of determining whether the Plan meets this requirement, the Debtors have analyzed the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to meet their obligations under the Plan and retain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to conduct their business. Under the terms of the Plan, the Allowed Claims potentially being paid in whole or in part in Cash are the Other Secured Claims, General Unsecured Claims, Trade Claims, Opioid Claims, and the Settled Federal/State Acthar Claims. As shown in Exhibit D to this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors anticipate emerging with over $1 billion in cash on the balance sheet to be used to satisfy over $800 million in cash payments on the Effective Date, leaving the Reorganized Debtors with approximately $200 million cash on hand. Along with access to up to approximately $200 million New AR Revolving Facility and cash generation post-Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors expect sufficient liquidity to address its post-emergence obligations and to also deleverage over time.

In connection with developing the Plan, the Debtors have prepared detailed financial projections (the “Financial Projections”), as filed at Docket No. 2285-1 and set forth in Exhibit D hereto, which demonstrate among other things, the financial feasibility of the Plan. The Financial Projections indicate, on a pro forma basis, that the projected level of Cash flow is sufficient to satisfy all of the Reorganized Debtors’ future debt and debt related interest cost, research and development, capital expenditure and other obligations during this period.38 Accordingly, the Debtors believe that confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or further reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

 

158


THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, INCLUDING THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS, SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED IN EVALUATING THE PLAN. WHILE MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, WHEN CONSIDERED ON AN OVERALL BASIS, WERE REASONABLE WHEN PREPARED IN LIGHT OF CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND EXPECTATIONS, NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS WILL BE REALIZED. THE DEBTORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS. THE PROJECTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND ASSUMPTIONS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW UNDER ARTICLE IX. IN LIGHT OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS.

The Debtors prepared the Financial Projections based upon certain assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Financial Projections have not been examined or compiled by independent accountants. Moreover, such information has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Debtors make no representation as to the accuracy of the Financial Projections or their ability to achieve the projected results. Many of the assumptions on which the Financial Projections are based are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and their management. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the actual financial results. Therefore, the actual results achieved may vary from the projected results and the variations may be material. All holders of Claims that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan are urged to examine carefully all of the assumptions on which the Financial Projections are based in connection with their evaluation of the Plan.

 

  2.

Valuation of the Debtors

In conjunction with formulating the Plan and satisfying its obligations under section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors determined that it was necessary to estimate the post-confirmation going concern value of the Reorganized Debtors, which estimate is filed at Docket No. 2285-3 and set forth in Exhibit F attached to this Disclosure Statement (the “Valuation Analysis”). The value of the Reorganized Debtors’ equity is included in the Valuation Analysis (see Valuation Analysis at 3) as well as the assumptions used to calculate that value. The Valuation Analysis should be considered in conjunction with the risk factors discussed in Section IX of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Risk Factors to Consider Before Voting,” and the Financial Projections. The Valuation Analysis was conducted as of April 16, 2021, and is based on data and information as of that date. The Valuation Analysis assumes the Effective Date occurs on September 24, 2021. The Valuation Analysis is subject to various important qualifiers and assumptions that are filed at Docket No. 2285-3 and set forth in Exhibit F, and holders of Claims and Interests should carefully review the information at Docket No. 2285-3 and set forth in Exhibit F in its entirety.

 

 

38 

The Financial Projections were prepared assuming the First Lien Notes Makewhole Claims and Second Lien Notes Makewhole Claims are not Allowed. To the extent these Claims are Allowed, the Debtors would issue Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes that would lead to interest savings of up to $30 million per year.

 

159


Various parties have asserted that the Debtors’ Financial Projections and Valuation Analysis should be split between the Specialty Brands Debtors and the Specialty Generics Debtors. The Debtors do not believe that doing so is necessary to make an informed vote on the Plan or to Confirmation because the Plan’s distributions to Class 6 and Class 7 are not reliant in any way on the valuation or projections of the two businesses separately.

 

  3.

Best Interests Test

The “best interests” test requires that the Bankruptcy Court find either:

 

   

that all members of each impaired class have accepted the plan; or

 

   

that each holder of an allowed claim or interest in each impaired class of claims or interests will receive or retain under the plan on account of such claim or interest, property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount such holder would receive or retain if the debtor were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

To determine what the holders of Claims and Interests in each impaired Class would receive if the Debtors were liquidated under chapter 7 on the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court must determine the dollar amount that would have been generated from the liquidation of the Debtors’ assets and properties in a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Cash that would be available for satisfaction of Claims and Interests would consist of the proceeds from the disposition of the assets and properties of the Debtors, augmented by the existing Cash held by the Debtors. Such Cash amount would be: (i) reduced by the amount of Allowed First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims, Allowed 2024 First Lien Term Loan Claims, Allowed 2025 First Lien Term Loan Claims, Allowed First Lien Notes Claims, Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims, and Allowed Other Secured Claims; (ii) second, reduced by the costs and expenses of liquidation under chapter 7 (including the fees payable to a chapter 7 trustee and the fees payable to professionals that such trustee might engage) and such additional administrative claims that might result from the termination of the Debtors’ business; and (iii) third, reduced by the amount of the General Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims. Any remaining net Cash would be allocated to creditors and stakeholders in strict order of priority contained in section 726 of the Bankruptcy Code. Additional claims would arise by reason of the breach or rejection of obligations under unexpired leases and executory contracts.

To determine if the Plan is in the best interests of each impaired Class, the present value of the distributions from the proceeds of a liquidation of the Debtors’ assets and properties, after subtracting the amounts discussed above, must be compared with the value of the property offered to each such Class of Claims under the Plan.

After considering the effects that a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the ultimate proceeds available for distribution to creditors, the Debtors have determined that confirmation of the Plan will provide each holder of an Allowed Claim with a recovery that is not less than such holder would have received pursuant to the liquidation of the Debtors under chapter 7.

Moreover, the Debtors believe that the value of distributions to each Class of Allowed Claims in a chapter 7 case would be materially less than the value of distributions under the Plan and any distribution in a chapter 7 case would not occur for a substantial period of time. It is likely that a liquidation of the Debtors’ assets could take close to or more than a year to complete, and distribution of the proceeds of the liquidation could be delayed for up to nine months after the completion of such liquidation to resolve claims and prepare for distributions. In the likely event litigation was necessary to resolve claims asserted in the chapter 7 case, the delay could be prolonged.

 

160


The Debtors, with the assistance of their financial advisors and legal counsel, have prepared a liquidation analysis that summarizes the Debtors’ best estimate of recoveries by Holders of Claims and Interests in the event of liquidation on or around September 30, 2021 (the “Liquidation Analysis”), which is filed at Docket No. 2285-2 and set forth in Exhibit E hereto. The Liquidation Analysis provides: (a) a summary of the liquidation values of the Debtors’ assets, assuming a chapter 7 liquidation in which a trustee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court would liquidate the assets of the Debtors’ estates, and (b) the expected recoveries of Holders of Claims and Interests under the Plan.

The Liquidation Analysis contains a number of estimates and assumptions that, although developed and considered reasonable by the Debtors’ management, are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and their management. The Liquidation Analysis also is based on assumptions with regard to liquidation decisions that are subject to change and significant economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtors and their management. Accordingly, the values reflected might not be realized. The chapter 7 liquidation period is assumed to last 12 to 21 months following the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee, allowing for, among other things, the discontinuation and wind-down of operations, the sale of the operations as going concerns or as individual assets, the collection of receivables and the finalization of tax affairs. All holders of Claims that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan are urged to examine carefully all of the assumptions on which the Liquidation Analysis is based in connection with their evaluation of the Plan.

 

  C.

Classification of Claims and Interests

The Debtors believe that the Plan complies with the classification requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, which require that a chapter 11 plan place each claim and interest into a class with other claims or interests that are “substantially similar.”

 

  D.

Consummation

The Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date. The Effective Date will occur on the first Business Day on which the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Plan (see Article V.H hereof and Article VIII of the Plan) have been satisfied or waived pursuant to the Plan. The Plan is to be implemented pursuant to its terms, consistent with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  E.

Exemption from Certain Transfer Taxes

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfer from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any Entity pursuant to, in contemplation of, or in connection with the Plan or pursuant to: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, securities, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (3) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; or (4) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any U.S. federal, state, or local document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles, or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate U.S. state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

 

161


  F.

Dissolution of Committees

On the Effective Date, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Opioid-Related Claimants shall be dissolved and the members of each of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Opioid-Related Claimants and each of their legal, consulting, financial, and/or other professional advisors shall be deemed released of all their duties, responsibilities, and obligations in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and its implementation; provided, however, that following the Effective Date, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Opioid-Related Claimants shall continue in existence and have standing and a right to be heard for the following limited purposes: (a) applications, and any relief related thereto, for compensation by Professional Persons and requests for allowance of fees and/or expenses under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) any appeals of, or related to, the Confirmation Order or other appeal to which the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors or the Official Committee of Opioid-Related Claimants is a party.

 

  G.

Modification of Plan

Subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the limitations contained in the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Restructuring Support Agreement: (1) amend or modify the Plan prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order, including amendments or modifications to satisfy section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) amend or modify the Plan after the entry of the Confirmation Order in accordance with section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Restructuring Support Agreement upon order of the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan upon order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  H.

Effect of Confirmation on Modifications

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall mean that all modifications or amendments to the Plan since the solicitation thereof are approved pursuant to section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and do not require additional disclosure or re-solicitation under Bankruptcy Rule 3019.

 

  I.

Revocation of Plan; Reservation of Rights if Effective Date Does Not Occur

Subject to the conditions to the Effective Date, the Debtors reserve the right, subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order and to File subsequent Plans of reorganization. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan, or if entry of the Confirmation Order or the Effective Date does not occur, or if the Restructuring Support Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Date, then: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of executory contracts or leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant hereto shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against, or any Equity Interests in, such Debtor or any other Entity; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity; provided, that any Restructuring Expenses that have been paid as of the date of revocation or withdrawal of the Plan shall remain paid and shall not be subject to disgorgement or repayment without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

162


  J.

Post-Confirmation Jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court

Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, except to the extent set forth in the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code, including jurisdiction to:

If the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising, or declines to exercise, jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter arising in, arising under, or related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including the matters set forth in Article X of the Plan, the provisions of Article X of the Plan shall have no effect on and shall not control, limit, or prohibit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having competent jurisdiction with respect to such matter.

Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine disputes concerning Claims against or Interests in the Debtors that arose prior to the Effective Date.

VIII.

ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN

The Debtors have determined that the Plan is the best alternative available for their successful emergence from chapter 11. If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, the alternatives to the Plan are (A) continuation of the Chapter 11 Cases, which could lead to the filing of an alternative plan of reorganization and/or a sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, (B) a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (C) dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases, leaving Holders of Claims and Interests to pursue available non-bankruptcy remedies. These alternatives to the Plan are not likely to benefit Holders of Claims and Equity Interests.

 

  A.

Continuation of Chapter 11 Cases

If the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtors (or, if the Debtors’ exclusive period in which to file a plan of reorganization has expired, any other party in interest) could attempt to formulate a different plan or sell all or substantially all of their assets outside of a plan. Such a scenario might entail a reorganization and continuation of the Debtors’ business, or an orderly liquidation of their assets; in either case, the Debtors expect that recoveries to their stakeholders would be diminished relative to those available under the Plan.

 

165


  B.

Liquidation under Chapter 7

If no plan can be confirmed, the Chapter 11 Cases may be converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in which a trustee would be elected or appointed to liquidate the assets of the Debtors for distribution to their creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The effect a chapter 7 liquidation would have on the recovery of holders of Allowed Claims and Interests is set forth in the Liquidation Analysis filed at Docket No. 2285-2 and set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto.

As demonstrated in the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors believe that liquidation under chapter 7 would result in smaller distributions to creditors than those provided for in the Plan because of, among other things, the delay resulting from the conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7, the additional administrative expenses associated with the appointment of a trustee and the trustee’s retention of professionals, and the loss in value attributable to an expeditious liquidation of the Debtors’ assets as required by chapter 7.

 

  C.

Dismissal of Chapter 11 Cases.

If the Chapter 11 Cases are dismissed, Holders of Claims or Interests would be free to pursue non-bankruptcy remedies in their attempts to satisfy Claims against or Interests in the Debtors. However, in that event, Holders of Claims or Interests would be faced with the costs and difficulties of attempting, each on its own, to recover from a non-operating entity. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the Plan will enable all creditors to realize the greatest possible recovery on their respective Claims with the least delay.

IX.

RISK FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE VOTING39

BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN, HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE SHOULD READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH BELOW, IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT TOGETHER WITH ANY ATTACHMENTS, EXHIBITS, OR DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HERETO. THE FACTORS BELOW SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS THE ONLY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLAN OR ITS IMPLEMENTATION.

 

  A.

Certain Bankruptcy Law Considerations

 

  1.

General

While the Debtors believe that the Chapter 11 Cases will not be materially disruptive to their business, the Debtors cannot be certain that this will be the case. Although the Plan is designed to minimize the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, it is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of time that one or more of the Debtors may spend in bankruptcy or to assure parties in interest that the Plan will be confirmed. Even if confirmed on a timely basis, bankruptcy proceedings to confirm the Plan could have an adverse effect on the Debtors’ business. Among other things, it is possible that bankruptcy proceedings could adversely affect the Debtors’ relationships with their key customers, suppliers and employees. The process will also involve additional expense and may divert some of the attention of the Debtors’ management away from business operations.

 

 

39 

This Article IX, Risk Factors To Consider Before Voting, of this Disclosure Statement remains subject to review and revision.

 

166


  2.

Risk of Non-Confirmation of Plan

Although the Debtors believe that the Plan will satisfy all requirements necessary for confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion or that modification to the Plan will not be required for confirmation or that such mortifications would not necessitate re-solicitation of votes. Moreover, the Debtors can make no assurances that they will receive the requisite acceptances to confirm the Plan, and even if all voting Classes voted in favor of the Plan or the requirements for “cramdown” are met with respect to any Class that rejects the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court, which may exercise substantial discretion as a court of equity, may choose not to confirm the Plan. If the Plan is not confirmed, it is unclear what distributions holders of Claims ultimately would receive with respect to their Claims in a subsequent plan of reorganization or otherwise.

 

  3.

Non-Consensual Confirmation

If any impaired class of Claims or Interests does not accept or is deemed not to accept a plan of reorganization, a bankruptcy court may nevertheless confirm such plan at the proponent’s request if at least one impaired class has accepted the plan (with such acceptance being determined without including the vote of any “insider” in such class), and as to each impaired class that has accepted the plan, the bankruptcy court determines that the plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to the dissenting impaired classes. Should any Class vote to reject the plan, then these requirements must be satisfied with respect to such rejecting Classes. The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies these requirements, but there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion and confirm the Plan on a non-consensual basis.

 

  4.

Financial Projections

The Debtors have prepared financial projections on a consolidated basis with respect to the Reorganized Debtors based on certain assumptions, as filed at Docket No. 2285-1 and set forth in Exhibit D hereto. The projections have not been compiled, audited, or examined by independent accountants, and neither the Debtors nor their advisors make any representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the projections or the ability to achieve forecasted results.

Many of the assumptions underlying the projections are subject to significant uncertainties that are beyond the control of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, including the timing, confirmation, and consummation of the Plan, consumer demands for the Reorganized Debtors’ products, inflation, and other unanticipated market and economic conditions. Some assumptions may not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the actual results. Projections are inherently subject to substantial and numerous uncertainties and to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks, and the assumptions underlying the projections may be inaccurate in material respects.

 

  5.

Risks Related to Parties in Interest Objecting to the Debtors’ Classification of Claims and Interests

Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan may place a claim or an interest in a particular class only if such claim or interest is substantially similar to the other clams or interests in such class. The Debtors believe that the classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. However, there can be no assurance that a party in interest will not object or that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the classifications.

 

167


To the extent that the Bankruptcy Court finds that a different classification is required for the Plan to be confirmed, the Debtors would seek (a) to modify the Plan to provide for whatever classification might be required for confirmation and (b) to use the acceptances received from any holder of Claims pursuant to this solicitation for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Class or Classes of which such holder ultimately is deemed to be a member. Any such reclassification of Claims, although subject to the notice and hearing requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, could adversely affect the Class in which such holder was initially a member, or any other Class under the Plan, by changing the composition of such Class and the vote required for approval of the Plan. There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court, after finding that a classification was inappropriate and requiring a reclassification, would approve the Plan based upon such reclassification. Except to the extent that modification of classification in the Plan requires resolicitation, the Debtors will, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, seek a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that acceptance of the Plan by any holder of Claims pursuant to this solicitation will constitute a consent to the Plan’s treatment of such holder, regardless of the Class as to which such holder is ultimately deemed to be a member.

 

  6.

Risks Related to Possible Objections to the Plan

There is a risk that certain parties could oppose and object to either the entirety of the Plan or specific provisions of the Plan. Although the Debtors believe that the Plan complies with all relevant Bankruptcy Code provisions, there can be no guarantee that a party in interest will not file an objection to the Plan or that the Bankruptcy Court will not sustain such an objection.

 

  7.

Releases, Injunctions, Exculpation Provisions May Not Be Approved

Article IX of the Plan provides for certain releases, injunctions, and exculpations for claims and Causes of Action that may otherwise be asserted against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties, as applicable. The releases, injunctions, and exculpations provided in the Plan are subject to objection by parties in interest and may not be approved. If the releases and exculpations are not approved, certain parties may not be considered Releasing Parties, Released Parties, or Exculpated Parties, and certain Released Parties or Exculpated Parties may withdraw their support for the Plan.

 

  8.

Risk of Non-Occurrence of Channeling of Opioid Claims

Under the terms of the Plan, all Opioid Claims shall automatically be channeled exclusively to the Opioid MDT II and, this will, among other things, bar the assertion of any of these Claims against any Protected Party. Although the Plan and the Opioid MDT II Documents all have been drafted with the intention of complying with section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, there is no guarantee that all Opioid Claims shall automatically be channeled to the Opioid MDT II or section 105(a) or the channeling of the all Opioid Claims to the Opioid MDT II will not be challenged, either before or after confirmation of the Plan. While the Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, certain objections might be lodged on grounds that the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code cannot be met given the unique facts of the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

168


  9.

Risk of Non-Occurrence of Effective Date

Although the Debtors believe that the Effective Date will occur on the timeline envisaged by the Restructuring Support Agreement, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the Effective Date. If the conditions precedent to the Effective Date set forth in the Plan have not occurred or have not been waived as set forth in Article VIII of the Plan, then the Confirmation Order may be vacated, in which event no distributions would be made under the Plan, the Debtors and all Holders of Claims or Interests would be restored to the status quo as of the day immediately preceding the Confirmation Date, and the Debtors’ obligations with respect to Claims and Interests would remain unchanged.

 

  10.

Risks of Termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement

The Restructuring Support Agreement contains certain provisions that give the parties thereto the ability to terminate the applicable agreement upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, including failure to achieve certain milestones in these Chapter 11 Cases. Termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement could result in protracted Chapter 11 Cases, which could significantly and detrimentally impact the Debtors’ relationships with vendors, suppliers, employees, and major customers.

 

  11.

Conversion into Chapter 7 Cases

If no plan of reorganization can be confirmed, or if the Bankruptcy Court otherwise finds that it would be in the best interest of holders of Claims and Interests, the Chapter 11 Cases may be converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to which a trustee would be appointed to liquidate the Debtors’ assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  12.

Risks of Non-Dischargeability of Claims

Certain creditors have taken or may take the position their claims are non-dischargeable. Such creditors may make such allegations at any time, notwithstanding the existence of deadlines established by the Bankruptcy Rules or applicable Court order, entry of the Confirmation Order, or the occurrence of the Effective Date. Such assertions of non-dischargeablility could result in denial of confirmation, changes to the Plan, or, if asserted after occurrence of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors being required to honor such claims.

 

  13.

Channeling Injunction

The Opioid Permanent Channeling Injunction, which, among other things, bars any Entity that has held or asserted, or that holds or asserts Opioid Claims (including any Opioid Demands), is a necessary element of the Plan. While the Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, certain objections might be lodged (including by the FCR) against the Plan on grounds that the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law are not met, including arguments that substantial support by each affected class is required. Overcoming such objections is a burden that could potentially be difficult to meet given the unique facts of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors believe that the Plan provides a sufficient basis for the issuance of the Opioid Permanent Channeling Injunction under section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. However, there is no guarantee that the validity and enforceability of the Opioid Permanent Channeling Injunction or the application of the Opioid Permanent Channeling Injunction to the Opioid Claims (including any Opioid Demands) arising out of or related thereto will not be challenged, either before or after Confirmation of the Plan.

 

  14.

Amendment of Plan Prior to Confirmation by Debtors

The Debtors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, reserve the right to modify the terms and conditions of the Plan or waive any conditions thereto if and to the extent necessary or desirable for confirmation. The potential impact of any such amendment or waiver on Holders of Claims and Interests cannot presently be foreseen but may include a change in the economic impact of the Plan on some or all of the proposed Classes or a change in the relative rights of such Classes.

 

169


  15.

Distributions under the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts

Opioid Claims will be resolved pursuant to the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents and the distribution procedures therein, and their treatment will be based upon, among other things, estimates of the number, types, and amount of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands), the value of the assets of the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts, the liquidity of these trusts, the expected future income and expenses, and other matters. There can be no certainty as to the precise amounts that will be distributed by the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts in any particular time period or when Opioid Claims will be resolved by the Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts.

 

  16.

Pending and Future Litigation

As discussed in this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors are involved various litigation, including but not limited to, the Acthar Lawsuits and Generics Price Fixing Claims—which so long as it remains unresolved represents a legal issue and potential Claim for monetary damages. Additionally, there is a risk of future litigation. Pending litigation or future litigation could result in a material judgment against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. Such litigation, and any judgment in connection therewith, could have a material negative effect on the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

 

  17.

Funding of Other Opioid Claims Reserve

Under the terms of the Plan, the funding of the Other Opioid Claims Reserve shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing and must be acceptable to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group. The size of the Other Opioid Claims Reserve may be dependent on the allowance of any No Recovery Opioid Claims under 502(j). The Public Opioid Creditor Share Distributable Value may be reduced by the size of the Other Opioid Claims Reserve with any Other Opioids Claims Reserve Excess thereafter being added back to the Public Opioid Creditor Distributable Value once all Other Opioid Claims are resolved. Therefore, the distributions to the NOAT II and TAFT II trusts may be delayed or reduced depending on the timing of allowance and the size of the Allowed Other Opioid Claims.

 

  18.

U.S. Government Statutory Payor Rights Reserved

 

   

The U.S. Department of Justice has reserved the rights of U.S. Government Opioid Claim holders with respect to the treatment of their claims. The DOJ has indicated that, absent a consensual resolution of its claims, it may assert the U.S. Government Payor Statutory Rights against the Protected Parties and recipients of distributions under the Plan which may delay or reduce distributions that would otherwise be made to Opioid Claimants. The Plan provides that any such claims against the Protected Parties are channeled to the Other Opioid Claims Reserve and cannot be asserted against the Protected Parties. The DOJ may challenge the Plan on these grounds, and, if so challenged, the issue will be decided by the Bankruptcy Court at the confirmation hearing if not resolved consensually. There can be no assurance as to how the Bankruptcy Court will rule on such contested matter, which could result in changes to the Plan or denial of confirmation.

 

 

170


  B.

Risks Relating to the Capital Structure of the Reorganized Debtors

 

  1.

Variances from Financial Projections

The Financial Projections filed at Docket No. 2285-1 and set forth in Exhibit D hereto reflect numerous assumptions, which involve significant levels of judgment and estimation concerning the anticipated future performance of the Reorganized Debtors, as well as assumptions with respect to the prevailing market, economic and competitive conditions, which are beyond the control of the Reorganized Debtors, and which may not materialize, particularly given the current difficult economic environment and product-specific market conditions. Any significant differences in actual future results versus estimates used to prepare the Financial Projections, such as lower sales, lower volume, lower pricing, increases in production costs, technological changes, environmental or safety issues, litigation, workforce disruptions, competition, regulatory decisions about pipeline products, or changes in the regulatory environment, could result in significant differences from the Financial Projections. The Debtors believe that the assumptions underlying the Financial Projections are reasonable. However, unanticipated events and circumstances occurring subsequent to the preparation of the Financial Projections may affect the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to initiate the endeavors and meet the financial benchmarks contemplated by the Plan. Therefore, the actual results achieved throughout the period covered by the Financial Projections necessarily will vary from the projected results, and these variations may be material and adverse.

 

  2.

Leverage

Although the Reorganized Debtors will have less indebtedness than the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors will still have a significant amount of secured indebtedness. On the Effective Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors will have approximately $3.9 billion in secured funded indebtedness and none in unsecured funded indebtedness.

The degree to which the Reorganized Debtors will be leveraged could have important consequences because, among other things, it could affect the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to satisfy their obligations under their indebtedness following the Effective Date; a portion of the Reorganized Debtors’ cash flow from operations will be used for debt service and settlement obligations under the Plan and unavailable to support operations, or for working capital, capital expenditures, expansion, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes; the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to obtain additional debt financing or equity financing, or pursue mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, may be limited; and the Reorganized Debtors’ operational flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in their businesses may be severely limited.

 

  3.

Ability to Service Debt

Although the Reorganized Debtors will have less indebtedness than the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors will still have significant interest expense and principal repayment obligations. The Reorganized Debtors’ ability to make payments on and to refinance their debt will depend on their future financial and operating performance and their ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, business, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond the control of the Reorganized Debtors.

Although the Debtors believe the Plan is feasible, there can be no assurance that the Reorganized Debtors will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that sufficient future borrowings will be available to pay off the Reorganized Debtors’ debt obligations. The Reorganized Debtors may need to refinance all or a portion of their debt on or before maturity; however, there can be no assurance that the Reorganized Debtors will be able to refinance any of their debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

171


  4.

Obligations Under Certain Financing Agreements

The Reorganized Debtors’ obligations under the New Credit Facilities, the New Takeback Term Loan Facility, the First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, the Takeback Second Lien Notes, the Cram-Down First Lien Notes, and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Reorganized Debtors (subject to certain exclusions set forth therein). If the Reorganized Debtors become insolvent or are liquidated, or if there is a default under certain financing agreements, including, but not limited to, the New Term Loan Documentation, the New AR Revolving Facility Documentation, the New Takeback Term Loans Documentation, the First Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes, the Cram-Down First Lien Notes, or the Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, and payment on any obligation thereunder is accelerated, the lenders under and holders of the New Credit Facilities, the New Takeback Term Loan Facility, the First Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes, the Cram-Down First Lien Notes, or the Cram-Down Second Lien Notes would be entitled, subject to the applicable intercreditor agreements and other applicable credit documents, to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law, including foreclosure on the collateral that is pledged to secure the indebtedness thereunder, and they would have a claim on the assets securing the obligations under the applicable facility that would be superior to any claim of the holders of unsecured debt.

 

  5.

Restrictive Covenants

The financing agreements governing the Reorganized Debtors’ indebtedness will contain various covenants that may limit the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors’ management by restricting the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge, consolidate and/or sell or dispose of all or substantially all of their assets. As a result of these covenants, the Reorganized Debtors will be limited in the manner in which they conduct their business and they may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs.

Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the financing agreements may result in an event of default. An event of default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. If the Reorganized Debtors are unable to repay amounts outstanding under their financing agreements when due, the lenders thereunder could, subject to the terms of the financing agreements, seek to foreclose on the collateral that is pledged to secure the indebtedness outstanding under such facility.

 

  6.

Market for Securities

There is currently no market for the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any market for such securities. There can also be no assurance that the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will be listed or traded on any securities exchange on or after the Effective Date. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the securities will be tradable or liquid at any time after the Effective Date. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of the securities may experience difficulty in reselling such securities or may be unable to sell them at all. Even if such a market were to exist, such securities could trade at prices higher or lower than the estimated value set forth in this Disclosure Statement depending upon many factors including prevailing interest rates, markets for similar securities, industry conditions, and the performance of, and investor expectations for, the Reorganized Debtors. Accordingly, holders of the securities may bear certain risks associated with holding securities for an indefinite period of time.

  7.

Potential Dilution

The ownership percentage represented by the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares distributed under the Plan as of the Effective Date will be subject to dilution from the equity issued in connection with the (a) Management Incentive Plan, (b) New Opioid Warrants, (c) any other equity that may be issued post-emergence, and (d) the exercise or conversion of any options, warrants, convertible securities, exercisable securities, or other securities that may be issued post-emergence. In the future, similar to all companies, additional equity financings or other equity issuances by Reorganized Mallinckrodt could adversely affect the value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. The amount and dilutive effect of any of the foregoing could be material.

 

  8.

Significant Holders of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

Certain holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are expected to acquire a significant ownership interest in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. Thus, such holders could be in a position to control the outcome of all actions of Reorganized Mallinckrodt requiring the approval of equity holders, including the election of directors or managers, without the approval of other equity holders. This concentration of ownership could also facilitate or hinder a negotiated change of control of Reorganized Mallinckrodt and, consequently, have an impact upon the value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

 

  9.

Interests Subordinated to the Reorganized Debtors’ Indebtedness

In any subsequent liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Reorganized Mallinckrodt, the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares would rank below all debt claims against Reorganized Mallinckrodt. As a result, holders of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will not be entitled to receive any payment or other distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Reorganized Mallinckrodt until after all applicable holders of debt have been paid in full.

 

  10.

Estimated Valuations of the Debtors and the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, and Estimated Recoveries to Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims Are Not Intended to Represent Potential Market Values

The Debtors’ estimated recoveries to Allowed Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are not intended to represent the market value of the Debtors’ Securities. The estimated recoveries are based on numerous assumptions (the realization of many of which will be beyond the control of the Debtors), including, among others: (a) the successful reorganization of the Debtors; (b) an assumed date for the occurrence of the Effective Date; (c) the Debtors’ ability to achieve the operating and financial results included in the Financial Projections; (d) the Debtors’ ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations; (e) the assumption that capital and equity markets remain consistent with current conditions; and (f) the Debtors’ ability to maintain critical existing customer relationships.

 

  11.

Dividends

Reorganized Mallinckrodt may not pay any dividends on the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares . In such circumstances, the success of an investment in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will depend entirely upon any future appreciation in the value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. There is, however, no guarantee that the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain their initial value.

 

 

173


  12.

Restrictions on Ability to Resell New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and/or New Opioid Warrants

Holders of securities issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code who are deemed to be “underwriters” under section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (“Section 1145 Underwriters”) will be subject to resale restrictions. Section 1145 Underwriters, should be aware that they may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the affected securities including New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and/or the New Opioid Warrants for an indefinite period of time.

 

  13.

If a United States Person is Treated as Owning At Least 10% of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, Such Holder May be Subject to Adverse U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.

Many of Mallinckrodt plc’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are classified as “controlled foreign corporations” for U.S. federal income tax purposes due to the application of certain ownership attribution rules within a multinational corporate group. If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” (a “10% U.S. Holder”) with respect to one or more of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s controlled foreign corporation subsidiaries. In addition, if the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares are treated as owned more than 50% (by voting power or value) by 10% U.S. Holders, Reorganized Mallinckrodt itself would be treated as a controlled foreign corporation. A 10% U.S. Holder may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income, as ordinary income, its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, whether or not Reorganized Mallinckrodt makes any distributions to such 10% U.S. Holder. An individual United States shareholder generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a corporate United States shareholder. A failure by a 10% U.S. Holder to comply with its reporting obligations may subject the 10% U.S. Holder to significant monetary penalties and may extend the statute of limitations with respect to the 10% U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which such reporting was due. Reorganized Mallinckrodt cannot provide any assurances that it will assist investors in determining whether it or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are controlled foreign corporations. Reorganized Mallinckrodt also cannot guarantee that it will furnish to 10% U.S. Holders information that may be necessary for them to comply with the aforementioned obligations. The risk of being subject to increased reporting and compliance obligations and taxation could impact the demand for, and value of, New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

 

  C.

Risks Relating to the Debtors’ Business Operations and Financial Conditions

THE FOLLOWING PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEBTORS’ BUSINESSES. HOWEVER, THIS SECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE EXHAUSTIVE. ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS CONCERNING THE DEBTORS’ BUSINESSES ARE CONTAINED IN THE DEBTORS’ PREVIOUSLY-FILED ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 25, 2020.

 

  1.

The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases May Negatively Impact Future Operations.

While the Debtors believe that they will be able to emerge from chapter 11 relatively expeditiously, there can be no assurance as to timing for approval of the Plan or the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11. Additionally, notwithstanding the support of the signatories to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Chapter 11 Cases may adversely affect the Debtors’ ability to maintain relationships with existing customers and suppliers and attract new customers.

 

174


  2.

The Debtors’ Business May Be Adversely Affected by Public Health Crises and Epidemics/Pandemics, Including the Recent Coronavirus Outbreak.

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurring in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world could result in the Debtors’ business being adversely affected. Specifically, in December 2019, the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19 was identified in China, and subsequently spread to countries throughout the world, including Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the U.S., resulting in the World Health Organization declaring the COVID- 19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020. The Debtors’ business performance was significantly impacted by COVID-19, and the Debtors expect to continue to see pandemic-related challenges while the pandemic persists and likely during the aftermath and recovery, which could last for several years.

The Debtors may experience significant and unforeseen increases or decreases in demand for certain of their products as the needs of health care providers and patients evolve during this pandemic. For example, as the Debtors are among the world’s largest manufacturers of bulk acetaminophen and the only producer of acetaminophen in the North American and European regions, the Debtors could experience an increase in demand which the Debtors may not be able to meet in accordance with the needs of the market. Additionally, the Debtors’ INOmax product is a potential treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is a known clinical manifestation of infection with many respiratory viruses including the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and which could be subject to similar dynamics. Alternatively, because many non-critical and elective medical treatments were deferred or de-prioritized during the pandemic, demand for the Debtors’ Ofirmev product was negatively affected from the second quarter of 2020 onward. The Debtors also experienced and may continue to experience reduced demand for Therakos due to the phenomenon of immunosuppressed patients who would normally receive Therakos ECP therapy in a clinic setting, but who were instructed to or who chose to stay at home and/or pursue other treatment alternatives (even if less effective) to decrease risk of COVID-19 infection.

Furthermore, in 2020, then-U.S. President Trump invoked emergency powers under the Defense Production Act, which allows the U.S. government to direct private companies to meet the needs of the nation in the time of an emergency, and in early 2021, U.S. President Biden continued to invoke the same powers. Given the critical nature of some of the products the Debtors manufacture, as well as the Debtors’ pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing capabilities, the Debtors may be impacted by governmental action taken under this or similar legislative or executive action.

Many countries around the world have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus. Such disruptions could materially delay potential FDA approval with respect to the Debtors’ clinical trials and product candidates. Other factors caused by COVID-19 have already impacted and could materially delay or otherwise impact clinical trials the Debtors are conducting related to our products, including the ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID -19. Furthermore, business pressures driven by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have led the Debtors to prioritize certain investments over others, resulting in the termination of two Phase 4 studies related to Acthar Gel, and such pressures could result in similar decisions across the rest of the product portfolio. Any delays in the Debtors’ clinical trials or regulatory review resulting from such disruptions could materially affect the development or approval of pipeline product candidates or the Debtors’ lifecycle management efforts.

 

175


In addition, the economic impact of the spread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely affect the Debtors’ businesses. In particular, COVID-19 has affected demand for the Debtors’ products due to limitations on the ability of its sales representatives to meet with physicians, and a reduction in patient visits to their doctors and pharmacists in order to receive prescriptions for the Debtors’ products, all of which may continue so long as the pandemic continues. There is also an increased risk of supply interruption at the Debtors’ third-party suppliers to deliver components as well as the Debtors’ manufacturing facilities to produce finished products on a timely basis, which could result in business or operational disruption. Additionally, while the potential long-term economic impact of COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, which could reduce the Debtors’ ability to access capital, thereby negatively affecting the Debtors’ liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Debtors’ results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Given the rapid and evolving nature of the COVID- 19 pandemic, the full extent to which it will directly or indirectly impact the Debtors’ businesses, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

  3.

Sales of the Debtors’ Products Are Affected by the Reimbursement Practices of Governmental Health Administration Authorities, Private Health Coverage Insurers and Other Third-Party Payers, and the Debtors May Be Negatively Impacted by any Changes to Such Reimbursement Practices.

Sales of the Debtors’ products depend, in part, on the extent to which the costs of the Debtors’ products are reimbursed by governmental health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other third-party payers. The ability of patients to obtain appropriate reimbursement for products and services from these third-party payers affects the selection of products they purchase and the prices they are willing to pay. In the U.S., there have been, and the Debtors expect there will continue to be, a number of state and federal proposals that limit the amount that third-party payers may pay to reimburse the cost of drugs, for example with respect to Acthar Gel. The Debtors believe the increasing emphasis on managed care in the U.S. has and will continue to put pressure on the usage and reimbursement of Acthar Gel. The Debtors’ ability to commercialize their products depends in part on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of these products is available from government healthcare programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, private health insurers, and others. The Debtors cannot be certain that, over time, third-party reimbursements for the Debtors’ products will be adequate for the Debtors to maintain price levels sufficient for realization of an appropriate return on their investment.

Reimbursement of highly-specialized products, such as Acthar Gel, is typically reviewed and approved or denied on a patient-by-patient, case-by- case basis, after careful review of details regarding a patient’s health and treatment history that is provided to the insurance carriers through a prior authorization submission, and appeal submission, if applicable. During this case-by-case review, the reviewer may refer to coverage guidelines issued by that carrier. These coverage guidelines are subject to on-going review by insurance carriers. Because of the large number of carriers and variations in the coverage offered by the various plans offered by those carriers, there are a large number of guideline updates issued each year.

Furthermore, demand for new products may be limited unless the Debtors obtain reimbursement approval from governmental and private third- party payers prior to the introduction or launch of those products in the market. Reimbursement criteria, which vary by country, are becoming increasingly stringent and require management expertise and significant attention to obtain and maintain qualification for reimbursement.

 

176


  4.

Reimbursement Criteria or Policies and the Use of Tender Systems Outside the U.S. Could Reduce Prices for the Debtors’ Products or Reduce the Debtors’ Market Opportunities.

Markets in which the Debtors operate have implemented or may implement tender systems in an effort to lower prices. Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids which establish prices for products. The company that wins the tender receives preferential reimbursement for a period of time. Accordingly, the tender system often results in companies underbidding one another by proposing low pricing in order to win the tender. Certain other countries may consider implementation of a tender system. Even if a tender system is ultimately not implemented, the anticipation of such could result in price reductions. Failing to win tenders, or the implementation of similar systems in other markets leading to price declines, could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Debtors are unable to predict what additional legislation or regulation or changes in third-party coverage and reimbursement policies may be enacted or issued in the future or what effect such legislation, regulation and policy changes would have on their business.

 

  5.

The Failure of the Acthar Settlement May Subject the Debtors to Additional Risk and Uncertainties.

The failure of the Acthar settlement in principle may subject the Debtors to additional risk and uncertainties that could adversely affect the Debtors’ business prospects, including, the decision by CMS to exclude the Debtors from Medicare and/or Medicaid. Doing so may have an adverse impact on the Debtors’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to consummate the Plan.

 

  6.

The Debtors May Be Unable to Protect Their Intellectual Property Rights or Their Intellectual Property Rights May Be Limited.

The Debtors rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, proprietary know-how, market exclusivity gained from the regulatory approval process, and other intellectual property to support their business strategy, most notably in relation to Acthar Gel, INOmax, Therakos and Amitiza products. However, the Debtors’ efforts to protect their intellectual property rights may not be sufficient. If the Debtors do not obtain sufficient protection for their intellectual property, or if the Debtors are unable to effectively enforce their intellectual property rights, or if there is a change in the way courts and regulators interpret the laws, rules and regulations applicable to our intellectual property, the Debtors’ competitiveness could be impacted, which could adversely affect their competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Furthermore, the Debtors’ pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents, or the patents issued to or licensed by us in the past or in the future may be challenged or circumvented by competitors. Existing patents may be found to be invalid or insufficiently broad to preclude the Debtors’ competitors from using methods or making or selling products similar or identical to those covered by the Debtors’ patents and patent applications. Regulatory agencies may refuse to grant the Debtors the market exclusivity that they were anticipating, or may unexpectedly grant market exclusivity rights to other parties. In addition, the Debtors’ ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights is limited by the unique laws of each country. In some countries, it may be particularly difficult to adequately obtain or enforce intellectual property rights, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market share in such countries by utilizing technologies and product features that are similar or identical to those developed or licensed by the Debtors. Competitors also may harm the Debtors’ sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of our products or technology without infringing our patents, including by coupling separate technologies to replicate what our products accomplish through a single system.

 

177


Competitors may diminish the value of the Debtors trade secrets by reverse engineering or by independent invention. Additionally, current or former employees may improperly disclose such trade secrets to competitors or other third parties. The Debtors may not become aware of any such improper disclosure, and, in the event the Debtors do become aware, the Debtors may not have an adequate remedy available.

 

  7.

Debtors May Be Subject to Claims that they Infringe on the Intellectual Property Rights of Others.

The Debtors operate in an industry characterized by extensive patent litigation, and the Debtors may from time to time be a party to such litigation. The pursuit of or defense against patent infringement is costly and time-consuming and the Debtors may not know the outcomes of such litigation for protracted periods of time. The Debtors may be unsuccessful in efforts to enforce their patent or other intellectual property rights. In addition, patent litigation can result in significant damage awards, including the possibility of treble damages and injunctions. Additionally, the Debtors could be forced to stop manufacturing and selling certain products, or they may need to enter into license agreements that require the Debtors to make significant royalty or up- front payments in order to continue selling the affected products. Given the nature of the Debtors’ industry, the Debtors are likely to face additional claims of patent infringement in the future. A successful claim of patent or other intellectual property infringement against the Debtors could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

  8.

The Loss of One or More of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s Key Personnel Could Disrupt Operations and Adversely Affect Financial Results

The Debtors are, and the Reorganized Debtors will be, highly dependent upon the availability and performance of their executive officers. Accordingly, the loss of services of any of the Debtors’ executive officers could materially and adversely affect the Reorganized Debtors’ business, financial condition and operating results.

 

  9.

Extensive Laws and Regulations Govern the Industry in Which the Debtors Operate and Any Failure to Comply with Such Laws and Regulations, Including Any Changes to Those Laws and Regulations May Materially Adversely Affect the Debtors.

The development, manufacture, marketing, sale, promotion, and distribution of the Debtors’ products are subject to comprehensive government regulations that govern and influence the development, testing, manufacturing, processing, packaging, holding, record keeping, safety, efficacy, approval, advertising, promotion, sale, distribution and import/export of our products.

Under these laws and regulations, the Debtors are subject to periodic inspection of their facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of their products by the FDA, the DEA and similar authorities within and outside the U.S., which conduct periodic inspections to confirm that the Debtors are in compliance with all applicable requirements. The Debtors are also required to track and report adverse events and product quality problems associated with our products to the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with the requirements of FDA or other regulatory authorities, including a failed inspection or a failure in our adverse event reporting system, or any other unexpected or serious health or safety concerns associated with our products, including their Debtors’ opioid pain products and Acthar Gel, could result in adverse inspection reports, warning letters, product recalls or

 

178


seizures, product liability claims, labeling changes, monetary sanctions, injunctions to halt the manufacture and distribution of products, civil or criminal sanctions, refusal of a government to grant approvals or licenses, restrictions on operations or withdrawal of existing approvals and licenses. Any of these actions could cause a loss of customer confidence in the Debtors’ products, which could adversely affect the Debtors’ sales, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the requirements of regulatory authorities, including interpretative guidance, are subject to change and compliance with additional or changing requirements or interpretative guidance may subject us to further review, result in product delays or otherwise increase our costs, and thus have a material adverse effect on the Debtors’ competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

  10.

The Debtors May be Unable to Successfully Develop, Commercialize or Launch New Products or Expand Commercial Opportunities for Existing Products or Adapt to a Changing Technology.

The Debtors’ future results of operations will depend, to a significant extent, upon the Debtors’ ability to successfully develop, commercialize and launch new products or expand commercial opportunities for existing products in a timely manner. There are numerous difficulties in developing, commercializing and launching new products or expanding commercial opportunities for existing products, including:

 

   

developing, testing and manufacturing products in compliance with regulatory and quality standards in a timely manner;

 

   

the Debtors’ ability to successfully engage with the FDA or other regulatory authorities as part of the approval process and to receive requisite regulatory approvals for such products in a timely manner, or at all;

 

   

the availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials, including API and other key ingredients;

 

   

developing, commercializing and launching a new product is time-consuming, costly and subject to numerous factors, including legal actions brought by our competitors, that may delay or prevent the development, commercialization and/or launch of new products;

 

   

unanticipated costs;

 

   

payment of prescription drug user fees to the FDA to defray the costs of review and approval of marketing applications for branded and generic drugs;

 

   

experiencing delays as a result of limited resources at the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

 

   

changing review and approval policies and standards at the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

 

   

potential delays in the commercialization of generic products by up to 30 months resulting from the listing of patents with the FDA;

 

   

effective execution of the product launches in a manner that is consistent with expected timelines and anticipated costs; and

 

179


   

identifying appropriate partners for distribution of our products, including any future over-the-counter commercialization opportunities, and negotiating contractual arrangements in a timely manner with commercially reasonable terms.

As a result of these and other difficulties, products currently in development by the Debtors may or may not receive timely regulatory approvals, or approvals at all. This risk is heightened with respect to the development of proprietary branded products due to the uncertainties, higher costs and length of time associated with R&D of such products and the inherent unproven market acceptance of such products. Moreover, the FDA regulates the facilities, processes and procedures used to manufacture and market pharmaceutical products in the U.S. Manufacturing facilities must be registered with the FDA and all products made in such facilities must be manufactured in accordance with cGMP regulations enforced by the FDA. Compliance with cGMP regulations requires the dedication of substantial resources and requires significant expenditures. The FDA periodically inspects both our facilities and procedures to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The FDA may cause a suspension or withdrawal of product approvals if regulatory standards are not maintained. In the event an approved manufacturing facility for a particular drug is required by the FDA to curtail or cease operations, or otherwise becomes inoperable, obtaining the required FDA authorization to manufacture at the same or a different manufacturing site could result in production delays, which could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Furthermore, the market perception and reputation of the Debtors’ products are important to their business and the continued acceptance of their products. Any negative press reports or other commentary about the Debtors’ products, whether accurate or not, could have a material adverse effect on their business, reputation, financial condition, results of operation or cash flows or could cause the market value of our common shares and/or debt securities to decline.

With respect to generic products for which the Debtors are the first developer to have its application accepted for filing by the FDA, and which filing includes a certification that the applicable patent(s) are invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed (known as a “Paragraph IV certification”), the Debtors’ ability to obtain and realize the full benefits of 180-days of market exclusivity is dependent upon a number of factors, including, being the first to file, the status of any litigation that might be brought against the Debtors as a result of our filing or not meeting regulatory, manufacturing or quality requirements or standards. If any of the Debtors products are not approved timely, or if the Debtors are unable to obtain and realize the full benefits of the respective market exclusivity period for their products, or if their products cannot be successfully manufactured or commercialized timely, the Debtors’ results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, the Debtors cannot guarantee that any investment they make in developing products will be recouped, even if the Debtors are successful in commercializing those products. Finally, once developed and approved, new products may fail to achieve commercial acceptance due to the price of the product, third-party reimbursement of the product and the effectiveness of sales and marketing efforts to support the product.

 

  11.

The Debtors’ Businesses May Face Risks Related to Indemnifications If Required to Assume Certain Executory Contracts

The Debtors’ businesses may face risks relating to opioid litigation and/or Acthar Claims if they are required to assume Executory Contracts with any co-defendant in such litigations and honor indemnification provisions thereunder after the Effective Date. Instead of assuming any such Executory Contracts, the Debtors may determine to reject them, in which case the Debtors’ businesses may face risks around distribution channels and their ability to sell their products. Either of these risks could substantially impair the Debtors’ profitability after the Effective Date.

 

180


  D.

Certain Risk Factors Related to the Irish Examinership Proceedings

 

  1.

General

The Irish Examinership Proceedings in relation to the Irish Debtors, will be of shorter duration than the Chapter 11 Cases and will run concurrently with the Chapter 11 Cases. It will entail the same risks with regard to the Debtors’ business. Further, as discussed in this Disclosure Statement, the filing of the Irish Examinership Proceedings will commence a protection period during which the Parent will, under Irish law, have the benefit of protection against enforcement and other actions by its creditors for a period of up to 100 calendar days (or as otherwise amended under applicable Irish insolvency law). In the event the Irish Examinership Proceedings are unsuccessful, the High Court of Ireland could potentially order the winding up of the Irish Debtors or convert the Irish Examinership Proceedings to a liquidation proceeding.

 

  2.

Parties in Interest May Object to the Appointment of an Examiner to the Irish Debtors.

Section 509 of the Companies Act 2014 (Ireland) provides that the High Court of Ireland may appoint an examiner to an Irish registered company if it is insolvent, has not been put into liquidation, no receiver has been appointed for three consecutive days prior to the presentation of the petition and that there is a reasonable prospect of the survival of both the company and its undertaking. In the case of the latter proof, the Parent, as the ultimate parent company of the Debtors, will be required to satisfy the High Court of Ireland that it has an undertaking in its own right and that there is a reasonable prospect of survival of its undertaking as a going concern. The Parent believes that it will be possible to satisfy each of these proofs but there can be no assurance that the High Court of Ireland will reach the same conclusion.

 

  3.

The Examiner May Not Put the Proposals Before the Members and Creditors of the Irish Debtors and Seek their Approval by the High Court of Ireland.

The examiner, when appointed, will be an independent officer of the High Court of Ireland and will be free to adopt or decline to adopt the terms of the proposals for a scheme of arrangement accompanying the petition to have an examiner appointed to the Irish Debtors. The Debtors believe that the examiner will adopt and put the proposals before meetings of the Irish Debtors’ shareholders and creditors and subsequently seek their approval by the High Court of Ireland, because the proposals will mirror the Plan and the Plan represents the best solution achievable for the Debtors, their creditors and shareholders. There can be no assurance however that the examiner will reach the same conclusion.

 

  4.

Parties in Interest May Object to the Examiner’s Classification of Claims.

The examiner will be required, pursuant to section 539 of the Companies Act 2014 (Ireland), to place creditors in classes of creditors and provide equal treatment for each claim within a particular class unless the holder of a particular claim agrees to less favorable treatment. It is likely that in considering any objection to the basis upon which classes have been formulated the High Court of Ireland would take the view that each class must be confined to those parties whose rights are not so dissimilar as to make it impossible for them to consult together with a view to their common interest. There can be no assurance that the High Court of Ireland will decide that the examiner’s formulation of classes was correct.

 

181


  5.

The Examiner May Not Be Able to Secure Confirmation of the Proposals for a Scheme of Arrangement.

Section 541 of the Companies Act 2014 (Ireland) provides that the High Court of Ireland is precluded from confirming proposals for a scheme of arrangement unless it is satisfied that the proposals are fair and equitable in relation to any class of members or creditors that has not accepted the proposals and whose interests or claims would be impaired by implementation of the proposals and not unfairly prejudicial to the interests of any interested party. Whether proposals are fair and equitable or not unfairly prejudicial to any party will usually be assessed by reference to how such party would be treated in a liquidation, pursuant to Part 11 of the Companies Act 2014 (Ireland), of the Irish Debtors. A shareholder or creditor should not be unfairly prejudiced and a class of shareholders or creditors should not be considered to have been treated unfairly or inequitably if that party’s treatment approximates to, or is better than, the manner in which such party would be treated in a liquidation of the Irish Debtors. Any creditor or shareholder whose interests would be impaired by the proposals if implemented and who did not vote in favor of the proposals may object to the proposals in the High Court of Ireland at the hearing convened to confirm the proposals. The Debtors believe that the terms of the Plan insofar as they relate to the Irish Debtors would not, if mirrored in a scheme of arrangement pursuant to Part 10 of the Companies Act 2014 (Ireland), be unfair or inequitable to any class of shareholders or creditors of the Irish Debtors and would not be unfairly prejudicial to the interests of any interested party. There is no assurance however that the High Court of Ireland will reach the same conclusion.

 

  E.

Certain Risk Factors Related to the Canadian Recognition Proceedings

 

  1.

Risk that the Canadian Court Will or Grant Recognition of the Confirmation Order.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Canadian Filing Entities intend to seek recognition of the Confirmation Order in Canada. There is a risk that the Canadian Court will not grant such recognition, which may affect the Canadian Debtors’ ability to effectuate certain relief granted pursuant to the Confirmation Order in Canada and channel the Canadian Opioid Claims to the Opioid MDT II.

 

  F.

Additional Factors

 

  1.

Debtors Could Withdraw Plan

Subject to, and without prejudice to, the rights of any party in interest, the Plan may be revoked or withdrawn before the Confirmation Date by the Debtors.

SECURITIES LAW MATTERS

 

A.

Issuance & Transfer of 1145 Securities

 

  1.

Issuance

The Plan provides for the offer, issuance, sale or distribution of shares of Securities (including, the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and New Opioid Warrants (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants as of the Effective Date, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the New Opioid Warrants)) pursuant to, among other things, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and Opioid MDT II distributions. The Debtors believe that the offer, issuance, sale or distribution by Reorganized Mallinckrodt of Securities, including the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and New Opioid Warrants (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants as of the Effective Date, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the New Opioid Warrants) as distributions, among others, on the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and to the Opioid MDT II (the “1145 Securities”) will be exempt from registration under section 5 of the Securities Act and under any state or local laws requiring registration for offer or sale of a security pursuant to section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, except with respect to an entity that is an underwriter as defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (see below).

Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under section 5 of the Securities Act and state or local securities laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: (i) the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be securities issued by the debtor, an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or a successor to the debtor under the plan; (ii) the securities must be in exchange for a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning, the debtor or such affiliate; and (iii) the securities must be issued entirely in exchange for such a claim or interest , or “principally” in exchange for such claim or interest and “partly” for cash or property.

The issuance of the Securities under the Plan (including the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and New Opioid Warrants (including any New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Opioid Warrants as of the Effective Date, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the New Opioid Warrants) on account of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and to the Opioid MDT II) satisfies the requirements of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

183


The exemptions of section 1145(a)(1) do not apply to an entity that is deemed an “underwriter” as such term is defined in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines four types of “underwriters”: (A) a Person who purchases a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor with a view to distributing any security received in exchange for such claim or interest (“accumulators”); (B) a Person who offers to sell securities offered or sold under a plan for the holders of such securities (“distributors”); (C) a Person who offers to buy securities offered or sold under a plan from the holders of such securities, if the offer to buy is: (i) with a view to distributing such securities; and (ii) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan; and (D) a Person who is an “issuer” (as defined in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act) with respect to the securities.

The definition of an “issuer” for purposes of whether a person is an underwriter under section 1145(b)(1)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, includes Persons directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the issuer. “Control,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Such Persons are referred to as “affiliates” of the issuer.

Accordingly, an officer or director of a reorganized debtor or its successor under a plan of reorganization may be deemed to be an issuer for these purposes and therefore an underwriter. In addition, the legislative history of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code suggests that a creditor who receives ten percent or more of a class of securities of a reorganized debtor may be presumed to be in a relationship of “control” with the reorganized debtor and, therefore, an underwriter, although the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has not endorsed this view.

 

  2.

Subsequent Transfers

Section 1145(c) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that securities issued pursuant to section 1145(a) are deemed to have been issued in a public offering. In general, therefore, resales of and subsequent transactions in the 1145 Securities will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder thereof is deemed to be an “issuer,” an “underwriter” or a “dealer” with respect to such securities. A “dealer,” as defined in section 2(a)(12) of the Securities Act, is any person who engages either for all or part of his or her time, directly or indirectly, as agent, broker or principal, in the business of offering, buying, selling or otherwise dealing or trading in securities issued by another person.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1145(b) regarding accumulators and distributors referred to above, the staff of the SEC has taken the position that resales of securities distributed under a plan of reorganization by accumulators and distributors of securities who are not affiliates of the issuer of such securities are exempt from registration under the Securities Act if effected in “ordinary trading transactions.” The staff of the SEC has indicated in this context that a transaction by such non-affiliates may be considered an “ordinary trading transaction” if it is made on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market and does not involve any of the following factors:

 

  (a) (i)

concerted action by the recipients of securities issued under a plan in connection with the sale of such securities or (ii) concerted action by distributors on behalf of one or more such recipients in connection with such sales;

 

184


  (b)

the use of informational documents concerning the offering of the securities prepared or used to assist in the resale of such securities, other than a Bankruptcy Court-approved disclosure statement and supplements thereto, and documents filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act; or

 

  (c)

the payment of special compensation to brokers and dealers in connection with the sale of such securities designed as a special incentive to the resale of such securities (other than the compensation that would be paid pursuant to arm’s-length negotiations between a seller and a broker or dealer, each acting unilaterally, not greater than the compensation that would be paid for a routine similar-sized sale of similar securities of a similar issuer).

The staff of the SEC has not provided any guidance for privately arranged trades. The views of the staff of the SEC on these matters have not been sought by the Debtors and, therefore, no assurance can be given regarding the proper application of the “ordinary trading transaction” exemption described above. Any persons intending to rely on such exemption is urged to consult their counsel as to the applicability thereof to their circumstances.

To the extent that Persons who receive 1145 Securities pursuant to the Plan are deemed to be underwriters (and who do not qualify for the treatment of “ordinary trading transactions” described above), resales by such Persons of 1145 Securities would not be exempted from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable laws by reason of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. However, Persons deemed to be underwriters may be permitted to resell such 1145 Securities without registration pursuant to the limited safe harbor resale provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or another available exemption under the Securities Act.

Generally Rule 144 of the Securities Act permits the public sale of securities if certain conditions are met, including a required holding period, certain current public information regarding the issuer being available and compliance with the volume, manner of sale and notice requirements. If the issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), adequate current public information as specified under Rule 144 is available if certain company information is made publicly available, as specified in section (c)(2) of Rule 144. Reorganized Mallinckrodt will not be subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. However, the Debtors currently expect that Reorganized Mallinckrodt will continue to be a voluntary filer and that current public information will be available to allow resales in accordance with Rule 144. The staff of the SEC has taken the position that Persons who are deemed to be underwriters solely because they are affiliates of a reorganized debtor are not subject to the holding period requirements of Rule 144. Accordingly, affiliates of Reorganized Mallinckrodt that receive 1145 Securities under the Plan may resell those securities following the Effective Date in reliance on Rule 144, subject to applicable volume, manner of sale and notice requirements.

Whether or not any particular Person would be deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to the 1145 Securities or any other security to be issued pursuant to the Plan depends upon various facts and circumstances applicable to that Person. Accordingly, the Debtors express no view as to whether any particular Person receiving 1145 Securities or any other securities under the Plan would be considered an “underwriter” under section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such securities, or whether such Person may freely resell such securities or the circumstances under which they may resell such securities.

 

185


Should the Reorganized Debtors elect on or after the Effective Date to cause the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and/or the New Opioid Warrants to be eligible for book-entry treatment under the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and/or the New Opioid Warrants under applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) shall be entitled to require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan under applicable securities laws, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and/or the New Opioid Warrants are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan or Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares and/or the New Opioid Warrants are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A PARTICULAR PERSON MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER OR AN AFFILIATE AND THE HIGHLY FACT-SPECIFIC NATURE OF THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING THE EXEMPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER SECTION 1145 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, NONE OF THE DEBTORS MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF ANY PERSON TO DISPOSE OF ANY SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED UNDER OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT. THE DEBTORS RECOMMEND THAT POTENTIAL RECIPIENTS OF THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED UNDER OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN CONSULT THEIR OWN COUNSEL CONCERNING WHETHER THEY MAY FREELY TRADE SUCH SECURITIES AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THEY MAY RESELL SUCH SECURITIES.

XI.

CERTAIN U.S. INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN

 

  A.

Introduction

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences expected to result from the consummation of the Plan. This discussion is only for general information purposes and only describes the expected tax consequences to MEH, Inc. and its subsidiaries included in its U.S. federal consolidated income tax group (collectively, the “U.S. Tax Group”) and Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims, First Lien Notes Claims, Second Lien Notes Claims, and Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims (such Claims, collectively, the “Prepetition Debt”), General Unsecured Claims, Trade Claims and Other Opioid Claims. It is not a complete analysis of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences and does not address any tax consequences arising under any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, resulting in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS, and no legal opinion of counsel will be rendered, with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences resulting from the consummation of the Plan or that any contrary position would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion assumes that Holders of Prepetition Debt have held such property as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Tax Code (generally, property held for investment) and will hold the New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares as capital assets. This discussion also assumes that the debt instruments to which any of the Debtors are, or Reorganized Debtors will be, a party will be respected as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

186


This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular Holder in light of that Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the tax on net investment income imposed by Section 1411 of the Tax Code and the effects of Section 451(b) of the Tax Code conforming the timing of certain income accruals to financial statements. In addition, it does not address considerations relevant to Holders subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies, tax-exempt organizations, tax-qualified retirement plans, partnerships and other pass-through entities, Governmental Claimants, Holders of Settled Federal/State Acthar Claims, Holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, Holders who utilize installment method reporting with respect to their Claims, Holders holding Prepetition Debt, New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram- Down Second Lien Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes or New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment, Tribes (as defined below), Non-U.S. Holders of Other Opioid Claims, U.S. Holders (as defined below) who have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, and, with limited exceptions, Holders that are “United States shareholders” as defined by Section 951(b) of the Tax Code with respect to Reorganized Mallinckrodt (“10% U.S. Holders”). This discussion also does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders (a) whose Claims are Unimpaired or otherwise entitled to payment in full under the Plan, or (b) that are deemed to accept or deemed to reject the Plan. Additionally, this discussion does not address any consideration being received other than in a person’s capacity as a Holder of a Claim. This summary also does not discuss the treatment of the receipt of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan. Any 10% U.S. Holder is urged to contact its own tax advisers as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to it and tax considerations relating to the ownership of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW TAKEBACK TERM LOANS, CRAM-DOWN FIRST LIEN NOTES, CRAM-DOWN SECOND LIEN NOTES, TAKEBACK SECOND LIEN NOTES AND/OR NEW MALLINCKRODT ORDINARY SHARES RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, OR ANY OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS. THE DEBTORS AND THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX LIABILITY OF A HOLDER OR ITS AFFILIATES.

 

  B.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to the U.S. Tax Group and the Trusts

The tax consequences of the implementation of the Plan to the U.S. Tax Group may differ depending on the nature of the Restructuring Transactions, including whether the Restructuring Transactions include one or more taxable or non-taxable asset transfers by members of the U.S. Tax Group or any partnership wholly or partially owned by the U.S. Tax Group (the “Alternative Structure”). Except where noted below, this discussion assumes that the consummation of the Plan occurs without implementing any Alternative Structure (the “Recapitalization Structure”). The Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, which will be included with the Plan Supplement, will describe the manner in which those transactions will be implemented.

 

187


  1.

Cancellation of Indebtedness and Reduction of Tax Attributes

Mallinckrodt plc owns all of the stock of Mallinckrodt International Finance SA (“LuxCo”). LuxCo owns all of the units of Mallinckrodt CB LLC (“Lux DRE”), an entity disregarded as separate from its owner under the Tax Code, and all of the stock of MEH, Inc. Mallinckrodt plc, LuxCo, Lux DRE and MEH, Inc. are Debtors. LuxCo and Lux DRE are not engaged in any trade or business in the United States. MEH, Inc. owns (directly and indirectly) all of the equity in the remaining active U.S. subsidiaries. MEH, Inc. is the parent of the U.S. Tax Group. LuxCo and Lux DRE are the original issuers of the Prepetition Debt, however, all of the First Lien Term Loan Claims are now characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as obligations of MEH, Inc. Members of the U.S. Tax Group are also party to Intercompany Claims owing to Debtors outside of the U.S. Tax Group.

A taxpayer generally should realize cancellation of indebtedness (“COD”) income to the extent the adjusted issue price of debt being compromised exceeds the sum of the adjusted issue price of any new debt issued in exchange therefor and any cash plus the fair market value of any property (including stock) paid with respect to the debt being compromised (other than cash or property paid on account of accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto). Accordingly, the U.S. Tax Group generally should realize COD income to the extent of the sum of (i) the adjusted issue price of the First Lien Term Loan Claims, and (ii) the adjusted issue price of the Intercompany Claims described above which are not Reinstated exceeds the sum of (x) the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans, (y) the Cash paid to Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (other than Cash paid on account of accrued and unpaid interest on such Claims), and (z) the value of property and any cash transferred with respect to the Intercompany Claims (other than with respect to accrued and unpaid interest). The amount of COD income that will be realized by the U.S. Tax Group is uncertain because it will depend on the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans, but is expected to be substantial predominantly due to the amount of Intercompany Claims and the likely treatment thereof.

Under Section 108 of the Tax Code, COD income realized by a debtor will be excluded from gross income if the discharge of debt occurs in a case brought under the Bankruptcy Code, the debtor is under the court’s jurisdiction in such case and the discharge is granted by the court or is pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the court (the “Bankruptcy Exception”). Because the Bankruptcy Exception will apply to the transactions consummated pursuant to the Plan, the U.S. Tax Group will be entitled to exclude from gross income any COD income realized as a result of the implementation of the Plan.

Under Section 108(b) of the Tax Code, a debtor that excludes COD income from gross income under the Bankruptcy Exception generally must reduce certain tax attributes by the amount of the excluded COD income. Attributes subject to reduction include net operating losses (“NOLs”), NOL carryforwards and certain other losses, credits and carryforwards, and the debtor’s tax basis in its assets (including stock of subsidiaries). The reduction in a debtor’s tax basis in its assets generally is limited to the excess of (i) its tax basis in assets held immediately after the discharge of indebtedness over (ii) the amount of liabilities remaining immediately after the discharge of indebtedness (the “Liability Floor”). NOLs for the taxable year of the discharge and NOL carryforwards to such year generally are the first attributes subject to reduction. However, a debtor may elect under Section 108(b)(5) of the Tax Code (the “Section 108(b)(5) Election”) to reduce its basis in its depreciable property first. If a debtor makes a Section 108(b)(5) Election, the Liability Floor does not apply to the reduction in basis of depreciable property. The U.S. Tax Group has not determined whether or not to make the Section 108(b)(5) Election.

As of the end of its tax year ending September 27, 2019, the U.S. Tax Group had approximately $ 982.3 million of NOL carryforwards. The U.S. Tax Group believes that it has generated additional NOL carryforwards of approximately $ 1.8 billion from the tax year ending September 25, 2020, and may generate additional NOLs for the tax year ending September 24, 2021. The amount of the U.S. Tax Group’s NOLs are subject to audit and possible challenge by the IRS. Accordingly, the amount of the U.S. Tax Group’s NOLs ultimately may vary from the amounts set forth above.

 

188


If the Recapitalization Structure is utilized and assuming that a Section 108(b)(5) Election is not made, the U.S. Tax Group currently anticipates that the application of Section 108(b) of the Tax Code will result in a reduction of a significant amount of its NOLs and a substantial reduction in asset basis. However, the ultimate effect of the attribute reduction rules is uncertain because, among other things, it will depend on the amount of COD income realized by the U.S. Tax Group. If certain Alternative Structures are used, members of the U.S. Tax Group may transfer, sell or be deemed to sell their assets to newly formed entities. Accordingly, in certain of these structures, such entities may not succeed to all or a portion of the tax attributes of the U.S. Tax Group, including any remaining consolidated NOLs or interest deductions suspended under Section 163(j) of the Tax Code. However, such Alternative Structures may mitigate the amount of asset basis reduction of the U.S. Tax Group under Section 108(b) of the Tax Code as compared to the Recapitalization Structure.

 

  2.

Section 382 Limitation on Net Operating Losses and Built-In Losses

The Tax Code applies certain limitations to the Reorganized Debtors’ ability to utilize the tax attributes remaining after the reduction pursuant to excluded COD income described above. Specifically, under Section 382 of the Tax Code, if a corporation or a consolidated group of corporations with NOLs or NOL carryforwards, interest deductions suspended under Section 163(j) of the Tax Code (collectively with NOLs and certain other tax attributes, the “Pre-Change Tax Attributes”) or built- in losses (a “loss corporation”) undergoes an “ownership change,” the loss corporation’s use of its Pre-Change Tax Attributes and recognized built-in losses (“RBILs”) generally will be subject to an annual limitation in the post-change period. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the value of the loss corporation’s stock owned by one or more direct or indirect “five percent shareholders” increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of value owned by the five percent shareholders at any time during the applicable testing period (an “Ownership Change”) . The testing period generally is the shorter of (i) the three- year period preceding the testing date or (ii) the period of time since the most recent Ownership Change of the corporation.

Subject to the special bankruptcy rules discussed below, the amount of the annual limitation on a loss corporation’s use of its Pre-Change Tax Attributes and RBILs is generally equal to the product of the applicable long- term tax- exempt rate (as published by the IRS for the month in which the Ownership Change occurs) and the value of the loss corporation’s outstanding stock immediately before the Ownership Change (excluding certain capital contributions). If a loss corporation has a net unrealized built-in gain (“NUBIG”) immediately prior to the Ownership Change, the annual limitation may be increased as certain gains are recognized (or treated as recognized pursuant to the safe harbors provided in IRS Notice 2003-65) during the five-year period beginning on the date of the Ownership Change (the “Recognition Period”) . Section 383 of the Tax Code applies a similar limitation to capital loss carryforwards and tax credits. If a loss corporation has a net unrealized built-in loss (“NUBIL”) immediately prior to the Ownership Change, certain losses recognized during the Recognition Period also would be subject to the annual limitation and thus may reduce the amount of Pre-Change Tax Attributes that could be used by the loss corporation during the Recognition Period.

A NUBIG or NUBIL is generally the difference between the fair market value of a loss corporation’s assets (or, if greater, the amount of a loss corporation’s relevant liabilities) and its tax basis in the assets, subject to a statutorily-defined threshold amount. The amount of a loss corporation’s NUBIG or NUBIL must be adjusted for built-in items of income or deduction that would be attributable to a pre-change period if recognized during the Recognition Period. The NUBIG or NUBIL of a consolidated group generally is calculated on a consolidated basis, subject to special rules which may apply to members of the consolidated group that were acquired from a different consolidated group (the “Subgroup Rules”).

If a loss corporation has a NUBIG immediately prior to an Ownership Change, any recognized built-in gains (“RBIGs”) will increase the annual limitation in the taxable year the RBIG is recognized. An RBIG generally is any gain (and certain income) with respect to an asset held immediately before the date of the Ownership Change that is recognized during the Recognition Period to the extent of the fair

 

189


market value of the asset over its tax basis immediately prior to the Ownership Change. However, the annual limitation will not be increased to the extent that the aggregate amount of all RBIGs that are recognized during the Recognition Period exceed the NUBIG. On the other hand, if a loss corporation has a NUBIL immediately prior to an Ownership Change, any RBILs will be subject to the annual limitation in the same manner as Pre -Change Tax Attributes. An RBIL generally is any loss (and certain deductions) with respect to an asset held immediately before the date of the Ownership Change that is recognized during the Recognition Period to the extent of the excess of the tax basis of the asset over its fair market value immediately prior to the Ownership Change. However, once the aggregate amount of all RBILs that are recognized during the Recognition Period exceeds the NUBIL, such excess RBILs are not subject to the annual limitation. RBIGs and RBILs may be recognized during the Recognition Period for depreciable and amortizable assets that are not actually disposed. At this time the Debtors are not certain whether the U.S. Tax Group will have a NUBIG or NUBIL on the Effective Date, as this will depend on the nature of certain pre- Effective Date transactions that may occur involving members of the U.S. Tax Group, the application of the complex Subgroup Rules and the fair value of the assets of the U.S. Tax Group on the Effective Date.

The Debtors expect the consummation of the Plan will result in an Ownership Change of MEH, Inc. Because the Ownership Change will occur in a case brought under the Bankruptcy Code, one of the following two special rules should apply in determining the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to utilize in post-Effective Date tax periods Pre-Change Tax Attributes and RBILs attributable to tax periods preceding the Effective Date provided there is no Ownership Change of the U.S. Tax Group prior to the Effective Date.

Under Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, an Ownership Change in bankruptcy will not result in any annual limitation on the debtor’s Pre-Change Tax Attributes and RBILs arising during the Recognition Period if the stockholders and qualified creditors of the debtor receive at least 50% of the stock (by vote and value) of the reorganized debtor in the bankruptcy reorganization as a result of being stockholders or creditors of the debtor. Instead, the debtor’s pre-change NOLs are reduced by the amount of any interest deductions with respect to debt converted into stock in the bankruptcy reorganization that were allowed in the three full taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the Ownership Change occurs and in the part of the taxable year prior to and including the date of the Ownership Change attributable to the bankruptcy reorganization (the “Plan Ownership Change”). However, if any Pre-Change Tax Attributes and built-in losses of the debtor already are subject to an annual usage limitation under Section 382 of the Tax Code at the time of an Ownership Change subject to Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, those Pre- Change Tax Attributes and built-in losses generally will continue to be subject to such limitation.

A qualified creditor is any creditor who has held the debt of the debtor continuously beginning at least eighteen months prior to the petition date through the Effective Date or who has held “ordinary course indebtedness” that has been owned at all times by such creditor. A creditor who does not become a direct or indirect five percent shareholder of the reorganized debtor generally may be treated by the debtor as having always held any debt owned immediately before the Ownership Change, unless the creditor’s participation in formulating the plan of reorganization makes evident to the debtor that the creditor has not owned the debt for the requisite period.

A debtor may elect not to apply Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code to an Ownership Change that otherwise satisfies its requirements. This election must be made on the debtor’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Ownership Change occurs. If Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code applies to an Ownership Change (and the debtor does not elect out), any subsequent Ownership Change of the debtor within the two-year period following the date of the Plan Ownership Change will result in the debtor being unable to use any pre- change losses in any taxable year ending after such subsequent Ownership Change to offset future taxable income.

 

190


If an Ownership Change pursuant to a plan of reorganization in chapter 11 does not satisfy the requirements of Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, or if a debtor elects not to apply Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, the debtor’s use of its Pre-Change Tax Attributes and RBILs arising during the Recognition Period will be subject to an annual limitation as determined under Section 382(l)(6) of the Tax Code. In such case, the amount of the annual limitation generally will be equal to the product of the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate (1.64% for ownership changes occurring in May 2021) and the value of the debtor’s outstanding stock (in this case, the stock of MEH, Inc.) immediately after the bankruptcy reorganization, provided such value may not exceed the value of the debtor’s gross assets immediately before the Ownership Change, subject to certain adjustments. However, if any Pre- Change Tax Attributes and built-in losses of the debtor already are subject to an annual limitation at the time of an Ownership Change subject to Section 382(l)(6) of the Tax Code, those Pre-Change Tax Attributes and built-in losses will generally be subject to the lower of the two annual limitations.

The Debtors are unable to determine whether the Ownership Change expected to result from the consummation of the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, as such determination will depend on, among other things, the extent to which Holders of the Prepetition Debt immediately prior to consummation of the Plan may be treated as qualified creditors for purposes of Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code. If the Reorganized Debtors determine that the Ownership Change resulting from the consummation of the Plan may satisfy the requirements of Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, the Reorganized Board, in consultation with the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders (and subject to any other consent and/or consultation rights in the Restructuring Support Agreement), will determine whether or not the U.S. Tax Group will elect out of Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code. In the event that the U.S. Tax Group elects out of or fails to qualify for Section 382(l)(5) of the Tax Code, the U.S. Tax Group’s Pre-Change Tax Attributes remaining after reduction for excluded COD income will, pursuant to Section 382(l)(6) of the Tax Code, be subject to an annual limitation generally equal to the product of the long-term tax-exempt rate for the month in which the Plan Ownership Change occurs and the value of the stock of MEH, Inc. (or its successor) immediately after consummation of the Plan. This base limitation is expected to limit the U.S. Tax Group’s ability to use a material portion of its remaining Pre-Change Tax Attributes in each taxable period following the Effective Date. Subject to the application of the Subgroup Rules, the base limitation would then be increased by RBIGs recognized during the Recognition Period in the event that the U.S. Tax Group has a NUBIG. Pre-Change Tax Attributes not utilized in a given year due to the annual limitation generally may be carried forward for use in future years. To the extent the U.S. Tax Group’s annual limitation following the Effective Date exceeds its taxable income (for purposes of Section 382) in a given year, the excess will increase the annual limitation in future taxable years.

Alternative Structures

The Debtors and the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, in consultation with the Supporting Parties, are evaluating the Alternative Structures, whereby the assets of some of the Debtors (including stock in their subsidiaries) would be transferred or deemed transferred to Reorganized Mallinckrodt and/or certain of its subsidiaries in transactions that could be treated as taxable and/or non-taxable asset transfers for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Those Debtors which are members of the U.S. Tax Group which engage in taxable transfers (or are deemed to do so) pursuant to an Alternative Structure could recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value (as of the relevant closing date) of their assets over the tax basis in such assets (as of the relevant closing date). Some or all of such gain may be offset with the Pre-Change Tax Attributes and losses recognized in the taxable asset transfers. In certain of the Alternative Structures, the Reorganized Debtors, Reorganized Mallinckrodt or their Affiliates may not succeed to some or all of the remaining Pre-Change Tax Attributes, but the assets of some or all of the Reorganized Debtors would have basis equal to fair market value, which could result in greater depreciation and amortization deductions as compared to the Recapitalization Structure.

  4.

The Trusts

The tax treatment of transfers of property by Debtors to the Opioid MDT II and any other trust formed in connection with the Restructuring Transactions (the “Trusts”) will vary depending on the characterization of each of the Trusts, e.g., as a “grantor trust” as defined by Section 671 et seq. of the Tax Code, or as a “qualified settlement fund” (“QSF”) as defined by Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B- 1 et seq. The Restructuring Support Agreement requires that the Opioid MDT II be treated as a QSF for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the Debtors currently expect that the other Trusts formed in connection with the Restructuring Transactions will be treated as QSFs. Assuming that each of the Trusts is treated as a QSF, the U.S. Tax Group should be entitled to a deduction for the payments it makes or is deemed to make to the Trusts in the taxable year in which such payment was made to the same extent it would have been entitled to a deduction if such amounts had been paid directly to the Holder of an Opioid Claim. Accordingly, the determination of whether the payments to the Trusts are deductible will depend upon a number of factors, including (i) the extent to which such payments are made or deemed to be made by the U.S. Tax Group, (ii) the identity of the Holders of Opioid Claims and allocation of payments among such Holders, (iii) the permitted uses of such payments by the Holders of Opioid Claims pursuant to the Opioid MDT II Documents and (iv) if the U.S. Tax Group has a NUBIL, the extent to which the payments to the Trusts are treated as subject to any limitation on RBILs. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary, or the receipt of a determination by the IRS, the Opioid MDT II shall treat the Other Opioid Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including, to the extent applicable, the Opioid MDT II and Holders of Other Opioid Claims) shall be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

If the Trusts are QSFs, they will be treated as separate taxable entities. Their modified gross income will consist generally of investment earnings and gains on assets recognized by the Trusts (less administrative fees and related costs). Each Trust’s modified gross income will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the maximum rate applicable to trusts, which is currently thirty-seven percent (37%); provided that the income of certain of the Trusts may be exempt from U.S. federal income tax, including pursuant to Section 115 of the Tax Code, and certain of the Trusts may seek guidance from the IRS to that effect. For purposes of determining the Trusts’ modified gross income, payments to the Trusts from the Debtors and payments from the Trusts to Claimants in settlement of their Claims will not be taken into account. The Trusts’ basis of the assets received will generally be the fair market value of such assets at the time of transfer.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Holders of Certain Claims

 

  1.

Definition of U.S. Holder and Non-U.S. Holder

A “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of the Prepetition Debt, New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes or New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source;

 

192


   

a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

   

the government of the United States, any state, political subdivision or territory thereof or the District of Columbia; or

 

   

any American Indian or Alaska Native Tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village or community, that the U.S. Secretary of the Interior acknowledges as an Indian Tribe, as provided in the Federally Recognized Tribe List Act of 1994, 25 U.S.C. section 5130, and as periodically listed by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior in the Federal Register pursuant to 25 U.S.C. section 5131; and any “Tribal Organization” as provided in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, as amended, 25 U.S.C. section 5304(l) (“Tribes”).

A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the Prepetition Debt, New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes or New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares that is not a U.S. Holder and is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation (or other entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes), estate or trust.

If a partnership or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Prepetition Debt, New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes or New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Beneficial owners of the Prepetition Debt, New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes or New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares who are partners in a partnership holding any of such instruments should consult their tax advisors.

 

  2.

U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))

 

  a.

Term Loan Exchange

Debtors’ Option. At the Debtors’ option, the First Lien Term Loans will be (i) exchanged for (A) the New Takeback Term Loans, (B) repayment in full in Cash of the First Lien Term Loans Accrued and Unpaid Interest, and (C) the Term Loan Exit Payment (the “Term Loan Exchange”) or (ii) paid in full in Cash.

Significant Modification. An actual exchange of debt instruments will be treated as an exchange, rather than as a continuation of the old debt instrument, for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the differences between the old and new debt instrument constitute a “significant modification” of the old debt instrument under applicable Treasury Regulations. A “significant modification” occurs if, based on all the facts and circumstances and taking into account all modifications of the debt instrument collectively, the legal rights or obligations that are altered and the degree to which they are altered is “economically significant.”

Prior modifications to the First Lien Term Loans, including in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, may have resulted in one or more significant modifications. Further, on the basis of these Treasury Regulations, the Term Loan Exchange should result in a “significant modification” of the First Lien Term Loans and thus an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the First Lien Term Loans for the New Takeback Term Loans.

 

193


Treatment as Security. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Term Loan Exchange will also depend on whether the First Lien Term Loans and New Takeback Term Loans constitute “securities” for purposes of the provisions of the Tax Code relating to tax- free transactions. The test of whether a debt obligation is a security involves an overall evaluation of the nature of the obligation, with the term of the obligation usually regarded as one of the most significant factors. Debt obligations with a term of five years or less generally have not qualified as securities, whereas debt obligations with a term of ten years or more generally have qualified as securities. Another important factor in determining whether a debt obligation is a security is the extent to which the obligation is senior to or subordinated to other liabilities of the issuer. Generally, the more senior the debt obligation, the less likely it is to be a security.

Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that each of the 2024 First Lien Term Loans and 2025 First Lien Term Loans constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes because each had an original term which exceeded ten years. While the First Lien Term Loans may have been significantly modified one or more times prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors currently intend to take the position that such significant modifications should not alter the conclusion that the First Lien Term Loans constitute securities, consistent with IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-78, though there can be no assurances that the IRS won’t take a contrary position. Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that the New Takeback Term Loans constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes because they have a term of greater than five years. If the First Lien Term Loans and New Takeback Term Loans are each securities, the Term Loan Exchange will be a nontaxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as discussed below under “—Issuer for Tax Purposes “ and “—Nontaxable ExchangeRecognition of Gain or Loss”. However, if the First Lien Term Loans and/or the New Takeback Term Loans are not securities, the Term Loan Exchange will be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Issuer for Tax Purposes. As noted above, all of the First Lien Term Loans are now characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as obligations of MEH, Inc. If no action is taken prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors also intend to treat all of the New Takeback Term Loans as obligations of MEH, Inc. However, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors continue to evaluate which entity or entities should be characterized as the issuer of the New Takeback Term Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may take certain actions the effect of which would be to designate all or a portion of the New Takeback Term Loans as obligations of LuxCo, LuxDRE or a direct or indirect subsidiary of LuxCo domiciled outside the United States (each, a “Non-U.S. Subsidiary”). Except as noted below, this discussion assumes that the New Takeback Term Loans will not be issued by a Non-U.S. Subsidiary.

If all or a portion of the New Takeback Term Loans are treated as obligations of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary, (i) the Term Loan Exchange with respect to such New Takeback Term Loans would be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) a U.S. Holder of such New Takeback Term Loans would be subject to special U.S. tax considerations, discussed below under “—New Takeback Term Loans”.

A U.S. Holder should contact its tax advisor if all or a portion of the New Takeback Term Loans are treated as obligations of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary.

 

  (1)

Nontaxable Exchange

Recognition of Gain or Loss. If the Term Loan Exchange generally qualifies as a nontaxable exchange, a U.S. Holder should not recognize income, gain or loss except that (i) a U.S. Holder should recognize interest income to the extent that the Cash received in the Term Loan Exchange is allocable to accrued interest (discussed below under “—Accrued but Untaxed Interest”) and (ii) a U.S. Holder should recognize gain (but not loss) to the extent of the lesser of the remaining Cash received in the Term Loan Exchange and the amount of gain, if any, realized in the Term Loan Exchange. The character of such

 

194


gain or loss as capital or ordinary will be determined by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the tax status of the U.S. Holder, whether the First Lien Term Loans constitutes a capital asset in the U.S. Holder’s hands, whether the First Lien Term Loans have market discount, and whether and to what extent the U.S. Holder previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to the First Lien Term Loans. Gain realized must be calculated separately for each identifiable block of First Lien Term Loans surrendered in the Term Loan Exchange, and the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any capital gain recognized in the Term Loan Exchange will generally be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder has held the First Lien Term Loans for more than one year as of the date of disposition. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Takeback Term Loans should generally be equal to the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the First Lien Term Loans surrendered in the non- taxable exchange, increased by any gain recognized on the exchange and decreased by Cash received in exchange for the First Lien Term Loans. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Takeback Term Loans will include the holding period of the First Lien Term Loans surrendered in exchange.

Term Loan Exit Payment. The tax treatment of the receipt of the Term Loan Exit Payment by a U.S. Holder is subject to uncertainty because there are no cases or published rulings that directly address the treatment of such payments. Subject to the discussion below regarding accrued but untaxed interest, any amount received by a holder on retirement of a debt instrument generally is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as being received in exchange for the debt instrument. We therefore intend to treat the Term Loan Exit Payment as additional consideration received by a U.S. Holder in exchange for its First Lien Term Loans. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will agree with such treatment. If so treated, the Term Loan Exit Payment would be taken into account in determining the amount of gain or loss, if any, on the Term Loan Exchange, in the manner described in the discussion above. It is also possible that the Term Loan Exit Payment may be treated as a separate fee rather than as additional consideration for a First Lien Term Loan, in which case the Term Loan Exit Payment could be subject to tax as ordinary income. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors as to the proper treatment of the Term Loan Exit Payment.

Accrued but Untaxed Interest. To the extent a Holder of a First Lien Term Loan Claim receives consideration that is attributable to unpaid accrued interest on the First Lien Term Loan Claim, the Holder may be required to treat such consideration as a payment of interest. In this regard, the Plan provides that (i) Cash paid in respect of the First Lien Term Loans Accrued and Unpaid Interest shall be allocated first to the unpaid interest that has accrued on the First Lien Term Loans Claims, with any excess allocated to the principal amount of such Claims (in each case as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and (ii) all distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims (other than First Lien Term Loans Claims) shall be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims (other than First Lien Term Loans Claims), with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims (in each case as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Notwithstanding the Plan provision, there is general uncertainty regarding the extent to which the receipt of cash or other property should be treated as attributable to unpaid accrued interest. Certain legislative history indicates that an allocation of consideration as between principal and interest provided in a chapter 11 plan of reorganization is binding for U.S. federal income tax purposes, while certain Treasury Regulations treat payments as allocated first to any accrued but untaxed interest. To the extent any property received pursuant to the Plan is considered attributable to unpaid accrued interest (including but not limited to the Cash paid in respect of the First Lien Term Loans Accrued and Unpaid Interest), a Holder will recognize ordinary income to the extent the value of the property exceeds the amount of unpaid accrued interest previously included in gross income by the Holder. A Holder’s tax basis in such property should be equal to the amount of interest income treated as satisfied by the receipt of the property, and its holding period in the property should begin on the day after the Effective Date. A Holder generally will be entitled to recognize a loss to the extent any accrued interest previously included in its gross income is not paid in full. Although not entirely clear, such a loss may be treated as an ordinary loss rather than a capital loss.

 

195


HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EXTENT TO WHICH CONSIDERATION RECEIVED UNDER THE PLAN SHOULD BE TREATED AS ATTRIBUTABLE TO UNPAID ACCRUED INTEREST.

Market Discount. In general, a debt instrument is considered to have been acquired with “market discount” if it is acquired other than on original issue and if the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the debt instrument is less than (i) the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding “qualified stated interest” or (ii) in the case of a debt instrument issued with original issue discount (“OID”), its adjusted issue price, in each case, by at least a de minimis amount (equal to 0.25% of the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding qualified stated interest, multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity).

Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on the disposition of a First Lien Term Loan Claim that was acquired with market discount should be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued thereon while such Claim was considered to be held by the U.S. Holder (unless the U.S. Holder elected to include market discount in income as it accrued). Any accrued but unrecognized market discount on the First Lien Term Loan Claims after the application of the prior sentence will not have to be recognized as income at the time of the Term Loan Exchange. However, such accrued market discount will generally carry over to the New Takeback Term Loans received by the U.S. Holder in the Term Loan Exchange and any gain recognized on a subsequent taxable disposition of the New Takeback Term Loans may have to be treated as ordinary income to the extent of such accrued but unrecognized market discount. In addition, if a U.S. Holder acquired the First Lien Term Loan at market discount, the New Takeback Term Loan may be treated as acquired at a market discount as discussed below.

 

  (2)

Taxable Exchange

Recognition of Gain or Loss. If the Term Loan Exchange constitutes a taxable exchange, the U.S. Holder should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of New Takeback Term Loans and any Cash, in each case, received in the taxable exchange (other than the amount of New Takeback Term Loans or Cash, in each case, allocable to accrued interest, discussed above under “—Non-Taxable ExchangeAccrued but Untaxed Interest”) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the First Lien Term Loans Claims surrendered in the taxable exchange for such New Takeback Term Loans. The character of such gain or loss as capital or ordinary will be determined by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the tax status of the U.S. Holder, whether the First Lien Term Loan Claims constitute capital assets in the U.S. Holder’s hands, whether the First Lien Term Loan Claims have been held for more than one year, whether the First Lien Term Loan Claims have market discount, and whether and to what extent the U.S. Holder previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to the First Lien Term Loan Claims. Gain or loss realized must be calculated separately for each identifiable block of First Lien Term Loan Claims surrendered in the Term Loan Exchange, and the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in New Takeback Term Loans (other than New Takeback Term Loans, if any, allocable to accrued interest) should equal the fair market value of New Takeback Term Loans on the Effective Date. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Takeback Term Loans should begin on the day following the Effective Date.

Market Discount. Under the “market discount” provisions of the Tax Code, some or all of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder in the Term Loan Exchange may be treated as ordinary income (instead of capital gain), to the extent of the amount of accrued “market discount” on such U.S. Holder’s First Lien Term Loans Claims (unless the U.S. Holder elected to include “market discount” in income as it accrued). In general, a debt instrument is considered to have been acquired with “market discount” if it is acquired other than on original issue and if the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the debt instrument is less than (i) the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding “qualified stated interest” or (ii) in the case of a debt instrument issued with OID, its adjusted issue price, in each case, by at least a de minimis amount (equal to 0.25% of the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding qualified stated interest, multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity).

 

196


  b.

New Takeback Term Loans

Issue Price. The issue price of a debt instrument issued in exchange for another debt instrument depends on whether either debt instrument is considered “traded on an established market” (“publicly traded”). If the New Takeback Term Loans are treated as “publicly traded” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the “issue price” of the New Takeback Term Loans will be the fair market value of the New Takeback Term Loans as of their issue date. If the 2024 First Lien Term Loans and/or 2025 First Lien Term Loans are, but the New Takeback Term Loans are not, treated as publicly traded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans received in exchange for the relevant First Lien Term Loans will be the fair market value of the First Lien Term Loans exchanged for the New Takeback Term Loans, as determined on the issue date of the New Takeback Term Loans. If neither the First Lien Term Loans nor the New Takeback Term Loans are treated as publicly traded, then the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans issued in exchange for the First Lien Term Loans will be the principal amount of such New Takeback Term Loans.

The New Takeback Term Loans will be considered to be publicly traded if, at any time during the 31-day period ending 15 days after their issue date, the New Takeback Term Loans are traded on an “established market.” The New Takeback Term Loans will be considered to trade on an established market if (i) there is a price for an executed purchase or sale of the New Takeback Term Loans that is “reasonably available” within a reasonable period of time after the sale; (ii) there is at least one price quote for the New Takeback Term Loans from at least one reasonably identifiable broker, dealer or pricing service, which price quote is substantially the same as the price for which the person receiving the quoted price could purchase or sell the New Takeback Term Loans (a “firm quote”), or (iii) there is at least one price quote for the New Takeback Term Loans other than a firm quote, available from at least one such broker, dealer, or pricing service.

Treasury Regulations require the Reorganized Debtors to make a determination as to whether the First Lien Term Loans or New Takeback Term Loans are publicly traded, and if the Reorganized Debtors determine that the First Lien Term Loans or New Takeback Term Loans are publicly traded, to determine the fair market value of the New Takeback Term Loans on their issue date which will establish their “issue price.” The Treasury Regulations require the Reorganized Debtors to make such determinations available to U.S. Holders in a commercially reasonable fashion, including by electronic publication, within 90 days of the issue date of the New Takeback Term Loans. The Treasury Regulations provide that each of these determinations is binding on a Holder unless the Holder satisfies certain conditions. Certain rules apply as to whether a sales price or quote may establish the fair market value of the New Takeback Term Loans and under what conditions the Reorganized Debtors may otherwise establish the fair market value of the New Takeback Term Loans.

Because the relevant trading period for determining whether the First Lien Term Loans and New Takeback Term Loans are publicly traded and the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans has not yet occurred, the Debtors are unable to determine the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans at this time. It appears likely that New Takeback Term Loans will be publicly traded during the relevant period, in which case the issue price of the New Takeback Term Loans will be their fair market value as of their issue date.

 

197


Payments of Qualified Stated Interest. Payments of qualified stated interest on a New Takeback Term Loan generally will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income at the time such interest is received or accrued, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such interest income will be treated as U.S. source to the extent the New Takeback Term Loans are treated as obligations of the U.S. Tax Group, and will generally be treated as foreign source if treated as an obligation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary. Qualified stated interest generally means stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or in property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate or a single qualified floating rate.

Contingent Payment Debt Instruments. Under certain circumstances, the Reorganized Debtors may become obligated to make prepayments of principal on the New Takeback Term Loans prior to their stated maturity date. The obligation to make these payments may implicate the provisions of the Treasury Regulations relating to contingent payment debt instruments. Treasury Regulations provide special rules for contingent payment debt instruments which, if applicable, could cause the timing, amount and character of a holder’s income, gain or loss with respect to the New Takeback Term Loans to be different from the consequences discussed herein. Although the issue is not free from doubt, the Debtors currently intend to take the position that the possibility of the payment of such partial prepayments will not result in the New Takeback Term Loans being treated as a contingent payment debt instrument under the applicable Treasury Regulations, but such determination will ultimately have to be based on the relevant facts and circumstances on the Effective Date. The Debtors’ position is binding on a holder subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless such holder discloses on its tax return that such holder is taking a contrary position. This position is not binding on the IRS, which may take a contrary position and treat the New Takeback Term Loans as a contingent payment debt instrument. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the New Takeback Term Loans are not treated as contingent payment debt instruments. Holders should consult with their tax advisors about the potential tax consequences if the New Takeback Term Loans is determined to be a contingent payment debt instrument.

Original Issue Discount. The New Takeback Term Loans will be treated as issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes if the “stated redemption price at maturity” exceeds their “issue price” (see “—Issue Price” above) by an amount equal to or more than a statutorily defined de minimis amount (generally, 0.0025 multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity and the number of complete years to maturity). The “stated redemption price at maturity” of the New Takeback Term Loans is the total of all payments to be made under the New Takeback Term Loans other than qualified stated interest.

If the New Takeback Term Loans were treated as having been issued with more than de minimis OID, U.S. Holders would be required to include the OID in ordinary income on an annual basis under a constant yield accrual method regardless of such U.S. Holder’s regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such OID will generally be treated as U.S. source to the extent the New Takeback Term Loans are treated as obligations of the U.S. Tax Group, and will generally be treated as foreign source if treated as an obligation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary. A U.S. Holder must include in income in each taxable year the sum of the daily portions of OID for each day on which it held a Loan during the taxable year. To determine the daily portions of OID, the amount of OID allocable to an accrual period is determined, and a ratable portion of such OID is allocated to each day in the accrual period. An accrual period may be of any length and the length of the accrual periods may vary over the life of the New Takeback Term Loan, provided that no accrual period may be longer than one year and each scheduled payment of interest or principal on the New Takeback Term Loan must occur on either the first day or last day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to an accrual period will equal (A) the product of (i) the New Takeback Term Loan’s adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period and (ii) the New Takeback Term Loan’s yield to maturity (adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period), less (B) any qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period.

A New Takeback Term Loan’s adjusted issue price at any time generally will be its original issue price, increased by the amount of OID on such New Takeback Term Loan accrued for each prior accrual period and decreased by the amount of payments on such New Takeback Term Loan other than payments of qualified stated interest. A New Takeback Term Loan’s yield to maturity is the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value of all principal and interest payments to be made on the New Takeback Term Loan, produces an amount equal to the New Takeback Term Loan’s original issue price.

 

198


Amortizable Bond Premium and Acquisition Premium. To the extent a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in a New Takeback Term Loan is greater than its stated redemption price at maturity, the U.S. Holder generally will be considered to have acquired the New Takeback Term Loan with amortizable bond premium (and would not be required to accrue any OID on the New Takeback Term Loan). Generally, a holder that acquires a debt obligation at a premium may elect to amortize bond premium from the acquisition date to the debt’s maturity date under a constant yield method. Once made, this election applies to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. The amount amortized in any taxable year generally is treated as an offset to payments of qualified stated interest on the related debt obligation.

If a U.S. Holder’s initial adjusted tax basis in New Takeback Term Loan is less than its stated redemption price at maturity but greater than its issue price, the U.S. Holder generally will be considered to have acquisition premium with respect to the New Takeback Term Loans. In such case, the U.S. Holder may reduce the accrual of OID on the New Takeback Term Loans by a fraction the numerator of which is the excess of the U.S. Holder’s initial adjusted basis over the issue price and the denominator of which is the stated redemption price over such issue price.

Market Discount. If the Term Loan Exchange qualifies as a non-taxable transaction and in the Exchange the US Holder exchanges a First Lien Term Loan with accrued market discount, then (i) the accrued market discount, except to the extent recognized as ordinary income, will carry over to the New Takeback Term Loan received by the US Holder in the Exchange and (ii) such New Takeback Term Loan should also have market discount to the extent its issue price exceeds the US Holder’s initial tax basis (increased solely for these purposes by the accrued market discount described in (i)) by more than the statutorily defined de minimis amount. In such case, a U.S. Holder may elect to accrue such market discount over the term of the New Takeback Term Loan. In addition, such U.S. Holder may be required to defer, until the maturity of the New Takeback Term Loan or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of all or a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the New Takeback Term Loan, in the absence of an election to accrue market discount currently. Any market discount will be considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the New Takeback Term Loan unless a U.S. Holder elects to accrue on a constant yield method. A U.S. Holder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either a ratable or constant yield method.

Sale, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition. A U.S. Holder of a New Takeback Term Loan will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the New Takeback Term Loan equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition (less a portion allocable to any accrued interest that has not yet been included in income by the U.S. Holder, which generally will be taxable as ordinary income) and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Takeback Term Loan. Any gain or loss on the sale, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of the New Takeback Term Loans generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the New Takeback Term Loan for more than one year as of the date of disposition. However, any accrued market discount carried over from the First Lien Term Loan (as discussed above under “—Term Loan ExchangeNon-Taxable ExchangeMarket Discount”) or accrued on the New Takeback Term Loan (as discussed above under “—Market Discount “) will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of any gain, unless previously recognized as ordinary income. The determination of a U.S. Holder’s basis and holding period is discussed above in “—Term Loan ExchangeNon-Taxable ExchangeRecognition of Gain or Loss” and “—Term Loan ExchangeTaxable ExchangeRecognition of Gain or Loss”. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. There are limitations on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and noncorporate taxpayers.

  c.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding.

A U.S. Holder generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding when the U.S. Holder receives Cash or other consideration in connection with the Term Loan Exchange, payments on a New Takeback Term Loan or proceeds from the sale or other taxable disposition (including a redemption or retirement) of a New Takeback Term Loan, and may be subject to information reporting (but not backup withholding) with respect to accruals of OID, if any. Certain U.S. Holders are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding with respect to such payments and proceeds if the U.S. Holder is not otherwise exempt and:

 

   

the U.S. Holder fails to furnish the U.S. Holder’s taxpayer identification number, which for an individual is ordinarily his or her social security number;

 

   

the U.S. Holder furnishes an incorrect taxpayer identification number;

 

   

the applicable withholding agent is notified by the IRS that the U.S. Holder previously failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

 

   

the U.S. Holder fails to certify under penalties of perjury that the U.S. Holder has furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified the U.S. Holder that the U.S. Holder is subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

In the event that all or portion of the New Takeback Term Loans are not treated as obligations of the U.S. Tax Group, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals and who hold an interest in “specified foreign financial assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code) will be required to report information relating to an interest in all or such portion of the New Takeback Term Loans, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for New Takeback Term Loans held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Under certain circumstances, an entity may be treated as an individual for purposes of the foregoing rules. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this requirement on their ownership and disposition of the New Takeback Term Loans.

 

  3.

U.S. Holders of First Lien Notes Claims and Second Lien Notes Claims (Classes 3 and 4)

 

  a.

Secured Notes Exchanges

Cram-Down Treatment. The treatment of the First Lien Notes Claims and Second Lien Notes Claims depend upon whether the First Lien Notes Makewhole Claims and the Second Lien Notes Makewhole Claims, respectively, are Allowed. If the First Lien Notes Makewhole Claims and/or the Second Lien Notes Makewhole Claims are not Allowed, the First Lien Notes Claims and/or Second Lien Notes Claims, respectively, would be Reinstated, and would be Unimpaired. If the First Lien Notes Makewhole

 

200


Claims are Allowed, the First Lien Notes Claims would be exchanged for the Cram-Down First Lien Notes, and if the Second Lien Notes Makewhole Claims are Allowed, the Second Lien Notes Claims would be exchanged for the Cram-Down Second Lien Notes (such exchanges, if applicable, the “Secured Notes Exchanges”), and the First Lien Notes Claims and/or Second Lien Notes Claims would be Impaired. Accordingly, the discussion below is limited to the Secured Notes Exchanges.

Treatment as Security. The treatment of the Secured Notes Exchanges will depend, in part, on whether the First Lien Notes Claims, Second Lien Notes Claims, Cram-Down First Lien Notes and/or Cram-Down Second Lien Notes constitute “securities” for purposes of the provisions of the Tax Code relating to tax-free transactions, which will be determined in the manner described above under “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—Term Loan ExchangeTreatment as Security”. Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that each of the First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes because each had an original term in excess of five years. Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors anticipate taking the position that the Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes because it is expected that their term will exceed five years. Accordingly, the Debtors currently intend to take the position that the Secured Notes Exchanges will be nontaxable exchanges for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as discussed below.

Other Consequences of the Exchange. Assuming that the Secured Notes Exchanges constitute nontaxable exchanges for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as described below, the consequences of such exchange to U.S. Holders of First Lien Notes Claims and/or Second Lien Notes Claims should be subject to the rules and considerations discussed in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—Term Loan ExchangeNon-Taxable Exchange”.

In addition, if any ordinary income is recognized in connection with the Secured Notes Exchange, such income will generally constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, interest income or ordinary income arising in connection with market discount, in each case, recognized in the Secured Notes Exchange, will generally constitute “passive category income.” The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances.

 

  b.

Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes

Except as set forth below, the rules and considerations applicable in determining the issue price of the Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes and the tax consequences of the receipt of qualified stated interest, OID, market discount, amortizable bond premium and gain or loss on the disposition of the Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, in each case, are discussed above in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—New Takeback Term Loans.”

Qualified stated interest paid and OID and market discount, if any, accrued with respect to the Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes will generally constitute foreign source “passive category income” for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals and who hold an interest in “specified foreign financial assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code) will be required to report information relating to an interest in the Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes held in

 

201


accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Under certain circumstances, an entity may be treated as an individual for purposes of the foregoing rules. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this requirement on their ownership and disposition of the Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes.

 

  4.

U.S. Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims (Class 5)

 

  a.

Exchange of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for Takeback Second Lien Notes

While not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that the exchange of certain Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for Takeback Second Lien Notes (the “Unsecured Notes Exchange”) will be treated as an exchange separate from the exchange of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (the “Notes/Shares Exchange”). Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to determine the portion of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims that is exchanged in each of the Unsecured Notes Exchange and the Notes/Shares Exchange based on the relative fair values of the Takeback Second Lien Notes and the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. The Debtors intend to promptly determine this allocation after the Effective Date and will make this information available to the holders of the Takeback Second Lien Notes and the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

Treatment as Security. The treatment of the Unsecured Notes Exchange will depend, in part, on whether the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and/or the Takeback Second Lien Notes constitute “securities” for purposes of the provisions of the Tax Code relating to tax-free transactions, which will be determined in the manner described above under “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—Term Loan ExchangeNon-Taxable ExchangeTreatment as Security”. Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that each of the 5.75% Senior Notes due 2022, the 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 and the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes because each had an original term in excess of five years. Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors also intend to take the position that the Takeback Second Lien Notes constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes because their term will exceed five years. Accordingly, the Debtors currently intend to take the position that the Unsecured Notes Exchange will be a nontaxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as discussed below.

Other Consequences of the Exchange. Assuming that the Unsecured Notes Exchange constitutes a nontaxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as described below, the consequences of such exchange to U.S. Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims should be subject to the rules and considerations discussed in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Notes Claims and Second Lien Notes Claims (Classes 3 and 4)—Secured Notes ExchangesOther Consequences of the Exchange”.

 

  b.

Exchange of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

Recognition of Gain or Loss. The Notes/Shares Exchange, as contemplated, appears to meet the requirements of Section 351 of the Tax Code and be subject to Section 367 of the Tax Code in light of Reorganized Mallinckrodt being a non-U.S. corporation. As such, a U.S. Holder of a Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim should be treated as receiving New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares in a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Tax Code. Section 351 of the Tax Code, when applicable, generally prevents recognition of both gains (subject to the rules regarding accrued but untaxed interest and market discount, discussed below under “—Accrued but Untaxed Interest” and “—Market Discount”) and losses. However, because Reorganized Mallinckrodt is not a United States corporation, Section 367 of the Tax Code will override the gain (but not the loss) deferral provisions of Section 351

 

202


of the Tax Code with respect to the Notes/Shares Exchange (i) for all U.S. Holders, if the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are not “securities” (discussed above in “—Exchange of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes for Takeback Second Lien Notes—Treatment as Security”) or (ii) solely with respect to U.S. Holders who will own (directly, indirectly or constructively) more than five percent of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares at the time of the Notes/Shares Exchange, subject to the discussion below regarding “gain recognition agreements.” Such gain recognized by a U.S. Holder should equal the excess (if any) of (i) the fair market value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares received on account of such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim over (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim contributed (or deemed contributed) in exchange for such New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. In general, with respect to a Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim for which gain is recognized, the character of such gain and such U.S. Holder’s basis and holding period in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares received with respect to such Claim should be determined pursuant to the same rules described above in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))— Term Loan ExchangeNon-Taxable ExchangeRecognition of Gain or Loss”. In the event that (i) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim contributed (or deemed contributed) in exchange for such New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares exceeds (ii) the fair market value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares received on account of such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim, no loss will be recognized, and, subject to the rules regarding accrued but untaxed interest, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares received with respect to such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim should equal the U.S. Holder’s basis in such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim surrendered therefor, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares received should include the holding period for the exchanged Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim. In general, a U.S. Holder will not be able to use unrecognized losses attributable to the Notes/Shares Exchange to offset recognized gains attributable to the Notes/Shares Exchange.

A U.S. Holder who will own (directly, indirectly or constructively) more than five percent of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares may be able to avoid current recognition of gain under Section 367 of the Tax Code if it enters into a “gain recognition agreement” that meets the requirements set forth in the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 367 of the Tax Code and certain other conditions are met. Pursuant to the “gain recognition agreement,” the U.S. Holder would agree to recognize the gain realized but not recognized in the Notes/Shares Exchange if a specified gain recognition event (a triggering event) occurs within a five-year period after the transfer and no exception to gain recognition applies with respect to such triggering event. Because Reorganized Mallinckrodt will, or should be deemed to, contribute all the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes it receives in the Notes/Share Exchange to LuxCo in extinguishment of the Notes, a U.S. Holder should enter into an additional “gain recognition agreement” with respect to the LuxCo shares issued, or deemed issued, in exchange for the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes and similar rules as discussed above should apply with respect to the such shares. A U.S. Holder which enters into a “gain recognition agreement” would nevertheless be subject to the rules regarding accrued but untaxed interest and market discount, discussed below under “—Accrued but Untaxed Interest” and “—Market Discount”.

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of Section 367 of the Tax Code, including gain recognition agreements.

Accrued but Untaxed Interest. The determination of whether a U.S. Holder of a Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim receives consideration in the Notes/Shares Exchange that is attributable to unpaid accrued interest on the Claim, and the resulting tax consequences, should be subject to the rules and considerations described in “—U.S. Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims (Class 5)— Exchange of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for Takeback Second Lien NotesOther Consequences of the Exchange”, above.

 

203


HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EXTENT TO WHICH CONSIDERATION RECEIVED UNDER THE PLAN SHOULD BE TREATED AS ATTRIBUTABLE TO UNPAID ACCRUED INTEREST.

Market Discount. Under the “market discount” provisions of the Tax Code, the gain realized by a U.S. Holder in the Notes/Shares Exchange may be treated as ordinary income (instead of capital gain), to the extent of the amount of “market discount” on such U.S. Holder’s Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims. Such market discount generally must be recognized as ordinary income to the extent of the gain realized notwithstanding any other nonrecognition provision. Although there are several exceptions to the aforementioned rule, because the Notes/Shares Exchange is a contribution to a corporation other than the issuer, a U.S. Holder of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims should be required to recognize accrued market discount to the extent of gain realized in the Notes/Shares Exchange.

In general, a debt instrument is considered to have been acquired with “market discount” if it is acquired other than on original issue and if the U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the debt instrument is less than (i) the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding “qualified stated interest” or (ii) in the case of a debt instrument issued with OID, its adjusted issue price, in each case, by at least a de minimis amount (equal to 0.25% of the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding qualified stated interest, multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity).

Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on the exchange of a Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claim that was acquired with market discount should be treated as foreign source ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued thereon while such Claim was considered to be held by the U.S. Holder (unless the U.S. Holder elected to include market discount in income as it accrued).

 

  c.

Takeback Second Lien Notes

The tax considerations applicable to the Takeback Second Lien Notes are similar to those applicable to the Cram- Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes discussed in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Notes Claims and Second Lien Notes Claims (Classes 3 and 4)—Cram-Down First Lien Notes and Cram-Down Second Lien Notes”.

 

  d.

New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

Distributions. Subject to the discussion of PFIC and CFC rules below, a U.S. Holder of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary dividend income the amount of any distributions paid on the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to the extent such distributions are paid out of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. “Qualified dividend income” received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder is subject to preferential tax rates. Distributions not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and will first be applied against and reduce a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, but not below zero. Any excess amount will be treated as gain from a sale or exchange of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. Because Reorganized Mallinckrodt is not a U.S. corporation, holders that are corporations and are not 10% U.S. Holders will generally not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction with respect to distributions they receive from Reorganized Mallinckrodt. Distributions taxable as dividends generally will be treated as foreign source “passive category income”.

 

204


Sale or Other Taxable Disposition. Subject to the discussion of PFIC and CFC rules below, a U.S. Holder of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or other taxable disposition of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. Subject to the recapture rules under Section 108(e)(7) of the Tax Code, any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares for more than one year as of the date of disposition. Under the Section 108(e)(7) recapture rules, a U.S. Holder may be required to treat gain recognized on the taxable disposition of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares as ordinary income if the U.S. Holder took a bad debt deduction with respect to the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims exchanged therefor. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. There are limitations on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and noncorporate taxpayers.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status. Reorganized Mallinckrodt will be a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “PFIC”) if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year consists of “passive income” (generally including dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property) or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (averaged over the year and generally determined based upon either value or tax basis depending on the application of certain tests) produce or are held for the production of passive income. For purposes of determining whether Reorganized Mallinckrodt will be a PFIC, Reorganized Mallinckrodt will be treated as earning and owning a proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of its subsidiaries that have made U.S. tax elections to be disregarded as separate entities from Reorganized Mallinckrodt as well as of any other corporate subsidiary in which Reorganized Mallinckrodt owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary’s stock. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute passive income. By contrast, royalties and rental income would generally constitute passive income unless Reorganized Mallinckrodt were treated under specific rules as deriving its royalties and rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business.

If Reorganized Mallinckrodt is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares for any taxable year, such holder generally would suffer adverse tax consequences, that may include having gains realized on the disposition of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain and being subject to punitive interest charges on the receipt of certain distributions and on the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder would be deemed to own shares in any of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s subsidiaries that are also PFICs and generally would be subject to the treatment described above with respect to any distribution on or disposition of such shares. If Reorganized Mallinckrodt is considered a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares will also be subject to information reporting requirements on an annual basis. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about the potential application of the PFIC rules to them.

Based on the past and anticipated future operations of Reorganized Mallinckrodt and the Debtors, the Debtors do not believe that Reorganized Mallinckrodt will be a PFIC with respect to future taxable years. However, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept this position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that Reorganized Mallinckrodt is a PFIC. Moreover, there can be no assurance that Reorganized Mallinckrodt will not become a PFIC in any future taxable year because (i) there are uncertainties in the application of the PFIC rules, (ii) the PFIC test is an annual test, and (iii) although Reorganized Mallinckrodt intends to manage its business so as to avoid PFIC status to the extent consistent with its other business goals, there could be changes in the nature and extent of operations in future years.

Controlled Foreign Corporation Status. If more than 50% of the total value or total combined voting power of all classes of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s stock is owned, directly, indirectly, or constructively by 10% U.S. Holders, Reorganized Mallinckrodt would be treated as a “controlled foreign corporation” (“CFC”). Moreover, regardless of whether Reorganized Mallinckrodt is a CFC, the non-U.S. direct and

 

205


indirect corporate subsidiaries of Reorganized Mallinckrodt are expected to be classified as CFCs in light of the application of attribution rules that became applicable as a result of changes to the Tax Code enacted in 2017. This classification results in the application of many complex rules, including the required inclusion in income by 10% U.S. Holders of their pro rata share of any “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income” and any investments in “U.S. property” (each as defined by the Tax Code) of Reorganized Mallinckrodt. In addition, under Section 1248 of the Tax Code, if Reorganized Mallinckrodt was a CFC at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale or exchange of its stock by a 10% U.S. Holder, gain from such sale or exchange would generally be treated as dividend income to the extent of Reorganized Mallinckrodt’s earnings and profits attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If Reorganized Mallinckrodt was to become a CFC, the PFIC rules discussed above would generally not apply with regard to any 10% U.S. Holder.

In addition to the rules described above, if Reorganized Mallinckrodt or any of its non-U.S. direct or indirect corporate subsidiaries is a CFC, 10% U.S. Holders would be subject to special information reporting requirements. A failure by a 10% U.S. Holder to comply with these reporting obligations may subject the 10% U.S. Holder to significant monetary penalties and may extend the statute of limitations with respect to the 10% U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which such reporting was due. Reorganized Mallinckrodt cannot provide any assurances that it will assist investors in determining whether it or any of its non-U.S. direct and indirect subsidiaries are controlled foreign corporations. Reorganized Mallinckrodt also cannot guarantee that it will furnish to 10% U.S. Holder information that may be necessary for them to comply with the aforementioned obligations.

Because of the complexity of the rules regarding Subpart F income and global intangible low-taxed income, a more detailed review of these rules is beyond the scope of this discussion and any holder that may become a 10% U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding as described above under “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding”. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this requirement on their ownership and disposition of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

 

  5.

U.S. Holders of General Unsecured Claims and Trade Claims (Classes 6 and 7)

A U.S. Holder of a General Unsecured Claim or Trade Claim (collectively, the “Unsecured Claims”) will receive Cash and, in some cases, New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares. Although the matter is not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that the exchange of Unsecured Claims for Cash (the “Unsecured Cash Exchange”) will be treated as an exchange separate from the exchange of Unsecured Claims for New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (the “Unsecured Shares Exchange”). Although the matter is not free from doubt, where applicable, the Debtors intend to determine the portion of the Unsecured Claims that is exchanged in each of the Unsecured Cash Exchange and the Unsecured Shares Exchange based on the ratio of the Cash received to the fair value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares received (calculated based on the General Unsecured Claims Total Implied Equity Valuation). While not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to treat any Unsecured Claims exchanged in the Unsecured Shares Exchange as contributed to Reorganized Mallinckrodt in exchange for the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

The Unsecured Cash Exchange and, to the extent the relevant Unsecured Claims are against Debtor Mallinckrodt plc, the Unsecured Shares Exchange, in each case, should generally be treated as taxable exchanges under Section 1001 of the Tax Code. Other than with respect to any amounts received that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, each U.S. Holder of Unsecured Claims exchanged in such

 

206


taxable exchanges should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (a) the amount of Cash plus the fair value of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (calculated based on the General Unsecured Claims Total Implied Equity Valuation) received in exchange for such Unsecured Claims, and (b) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis, if any, in such Unsecured Claims. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct any loss recognized on the exchange of its Unsecured Claims will depend on such U.S. Holder’s own circumstances and may be restricted under the Tax Code.

While not free from doubt, the Debtors intend to take the position that the exchange of an Unsecured Claim against a Debtor other than Mallinckrodt plc in the Unsecured Shares Exchange meets the requirements of Section 351 of the Tax Code and would accordingly be subject to Section 367 of the Tax Code in light of Reorganized Mallinckrodt being a non-U.S. corporation. The tax consequences of such exchange are described above in “—U.S. Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims (Class 5)— Exchange of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for New Mallinckrodt Ordinary SharesRecognition of Gain or Loss”; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the Unsecured Claims are not expected to constitute securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The character of any gain or loss recognized in the aforementioned exchanges as capital gain or loss or ordinary income or loss and, in the case of capital gain or loss, as short-term or long-term, will depend on a number of factors, including: (i) the nature and origin of the Unsecured Claim; (ii) the tax status of the U.S. Holder of such Unsecured Claim; (iii) the extent to which the U.S. Holder previously claimed a loss or bad debt deduction with respect to such Unsecured Claim; and (iv) whether such Unsecured Claim was acquired at a market discount. A U.S. Holder that purchased its Unsecured Claim from a prior holder at a market discount may be subject to the market discount rules of the Tax Code, described above in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—Term Loan ExchangeTaxable ExchangeMarket Discount”. A portion of the consideration received by a U.S. Holder of an Unsecured Claim may be attributable to accrued interest on such Unsecured Claim, which would be subject to the rules and considerations set forth in “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))—Term Loan ExchangeTaxable ExchangeAccrued but Untaxed Interest” above.

 

  6.

U.S. Holders of Other Opioid Claims (Class 9(h))

The Plan provides that (i) on the Effective Date, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of the Debtors’ obligations in respect of the Opioid Claims, the Opioid MDT II shall receive Opioid MDT II Consideration, which includes the (a) the Initial Opioid MDT II Payment; (b) the New Opioid Warrants; (c) the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments; (d) the Assigned Third-Party Claims and (e) the Assigned Insurance Rights and (ii) as of the Effective Date, all Opioid Claims shall be channeled to, and liability for all Opioid Claims shall be assumed by, the Opioid MDT II without further act or deed and shall be satisfied solely by funds or other property held by the Opioid MDT II. Holders of Other Opioid Claims are entitled to receive their Other Opioid Claims Share from the Opioid MDT II. The Plan further provides that the Opioid MDT II is intended to be treated as a QSF.

Accordingly, assuming this treatment is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder of Opioid Claims generally is not expected to be treated as receiving a distribution from the Opioid MDT II unless and until the holder is entitled to receive that distribution directly (or a distribution is made in satisfaction of an obligation of such Holder), and any amounts received by a U.S. Holder of an Opioid Claim from the Opioid MDT II generally are expected to be treated by such holder as if received directly from the Debtors. The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of Opioid Claims— including whether such holder may have income or loss on account of distributions it receives in respect of the Claim or may be entitled to claim a deduction on account of a distribution that satisfied an obligation of such holder—generally will depend upon the nature and origin of the Claim and the

 

207


particular circumstances applicable to such holder, including whether the holder is an entity exempt from taxation and whether the holder has previously claimed deductions or losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such Claim. Because the tax consequences under the Plan relevant to U.S. Holders of Opioid Claims will depend on facts particular to each holder, all U.S. Holders of Opioid Claims are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to their proper tax treatment under the Plan in light of their particular facts and circumstances.

 

  7.

Non-U.S. Holders

Except where noted below, the following discussion assumes that: (i) no portion of any gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to the Prepetition Debt, Unsecured Claims, New Takeback Term Loans, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which gain is attributable), and (ii) no Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition of any of the above-mentioned securities and meets certain other requirements. If the assumptions set forth above are not applicable to a Non-U.S. Holder, such Non-U.S. Holder should consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences applicable to them with respect to the Term Loan Exchange, Secured Notes Exchanges, Unsecured Notes Exchange, the Notes/Shares Exchange, Unsecured Cash Exchange or Unsecured Shares Exchange or the ownership or disposition of consideration received in connection therewith.

Because the issuers of the First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, Cram-Down First Lien Notes, Cram-Down Second Lien Notes, Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares (in each case as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) are entities organized outside of the United States, there generally should not be any U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to the Secured Notes Exchanges, Unsecured Notes Exchange or the Notes/Shares Exchange, or the ownership or disposition of consideration received in connection therewith. Similarly, there generally should not be any U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to the ownership or disposition of any New Takeback Term Loans treated as an obligation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary.

Contingent Payment Debt Instruments. This discussion assumes that the New Takeback Term Loans will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “—U.S. Holders of First Lien Term Loan Claims (Classes 2(b) and 2(c))— New Takeback Term Loans Contingent Payment Debt Instruments”.

Payments of Interest on New Takeback Term Loans. Interest (including, for purposes of this section, any OID) paid on the New Takeback Term Loans to a Non-U.S. Holder that is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, or withholding tax of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), provided that:

 

   

the Non-U.S. Holder does not, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of MEH, Inc. voting stock;

 

   

the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related to MEH, Inc. through actual or constructive stock ownership; and

 

208


   

either (1) the Non-U.S. Holder certifies in a statement provided to the applicable withholding agent under penalties of perjury that it is not a United States person and provides its name and address; (2) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the New Takeback Term Loans on behalf of the Non-U.S. Holder certifies to the applicable withholding agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the financial institution between it and the Non-U.S. Holder, has received from the Non-U.S. Holder a statement under penalties of perjury that such holder is not a United States person and provides a copy of such statement to the applicable withholding agent; or (3) the Non-U.S. Holder holds the New Takeback Term Loans directly through a “qualified intermediary” (within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations) and certain conditions are satisfied.

If a Non-U.S. Holder does not satisfy the requirements above, such Non-U.S. Holder may be entitled to a reduction in or an exemption from withholding on such interest as a result of an applicable tax treaty. To claim such entitlement, the Non-U.S. Holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) claiming a reduction in or exemption from withholding tax under the benefit of an income tax treaty between the United States and the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

If interest paid to a Non-U.S. Holder is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such interest is attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that interest paid on the New Takeback Term Loans is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States.

Any such effectively connected interest generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected interest, as adjusted for certain items.

The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of interest and must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. Holders that do not timely provide the applicable withholding agent with the required certification, but that qualify for a reduced rate under an applicable income tax treaty, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding on New Takeback Term Loans. Payments of interest (including OID) generally will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder certifies its non-U.S. status as described above under “—Payments of Interest on New Takeback Term Loans.” However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any interest paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

209


  8.

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Non-U.S. Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Tax Code (such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”) on certain types of U.S. source payments, including dividends and interest, made to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Tax Code), unless (1) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence, reporting and withholding obligations, (2) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Tax Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (3) the foreign financial institution or nonfinancial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence, reporting and withholding requirements in (1) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Tax Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Prior to the issuance of proposed Treasury Regulations, withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property on or after January 1, 2019. However, the proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN DESCRIBED HEREIN. NEITHER THE PROPONENTS NOR THEIR PROFESSIONALS WILL HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON OR HOLDER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN OR THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION.

XII. IRELAND INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

  A.

Irish Tax Consequences To The Plan

 

  1.

Introduction

The following is a summary of certain material Irish tax considerations for, among others, the Debtors and for Non-Irish Holders (as defined below) as a result of the implementation of the Plan and the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions. The summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to the Debtors and each of the Non-Irish Holders. The summary relates only to the position of persons who are the absolute beneficial owners of the Prepetition Debt or the Equity Interests and may not apply to certain other classes of persons such as dealers in securities or shares.

The summary is based upon Irish tax laws and the practice of the Irish Revenue Commissioners as at the date of the Plan. Changes in law and/or administrative practice may result in alteration of the tax considerations described below.

 

210


This summary does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a general guide. The summary is not exhaustive and Non-Irish Holders should consult their own tax advisors about the Irish tax consequences (and tax consequences under the laws of other relevant jurisdictions) of the Plan.

 

  a.

Definition of Non-Irish Holder

“Non-Irish Holder” means any Holder of Prepetition Debt or Equity Interests that is not resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes and who does not hold their Prepetition Debt or Equity Interests in connection with a trade or business carried on in Ireland.

 

  2.

Irish Tax Consequences to the Debtors and the Impact on Holders of Equity Interests in Connection with the Cancellation of the Equity Interests

 

  a.

Cancellation of the Equity Interests

Due to the fact that the Irish Parent is a publicly- listed company, the cancellation of the Equity Interests for no consideration under the Plan and pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions should be considered a capital disposal of the Equity Interests in the Parent upon their cancellation, and not a distribution by the Parent to the Holders of the Equity Interests.

The Irish tax treatment of the disposal of the Equity Interests by any existing Holder of Equity Interests will depend on whether they are a Non-Irish Holder or not and whether they hold the Equity Interests as a trading asset or capital asset.

Where the Equity Interests are held as a capital asset, any gain arising to an Irish tax resident Holder of Equity Interests should be subject to Irish capital gains tax (“CGT”) at a rate of 33% (unless participation exemption is available). However, on the understanding that the Equity Interests will be cancelled for no consideration, a capital loss should arise for an Irish tax resident Holder of Equity Interests (not applicable where participation exemption is available).

On the basis that the shares in the Parent are quoted at the time of the transaction, Non-Irish Holders who hold Equity Interests should not be subject to Irish CGT on any gain arising on the disposal.

Where the Equity Interests are held as a trading asset by an Irish tax resident company, or a Non-Irish Holder company that carries on a trade in Ireland through a branch, then the disposal of the Equity Interests should form part of the taxable profits of the Holder and be subject to Irish corporation tax at 12.5%.

In addition, where the Equity Interests are held by a regulated fund, then any income or gains arising to the fund may be exempt from Irish tax.

 

  b.

Stamp Duty and Value-Add Tax (“VAT”)

The rate of stamp duty (where applicable) on transfers of shares of Irish incorporated companies is 1% of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired, whichever is greater. Where Irish stamp duty arises it is generally a liability of the transferee. Generally, no stamp duty should arise for the Holders of Equity Interests on the cancellation of their Equity Interests. Further, the cancellation of the Equity Interests should be considered outside the scope of Irish VAT.

 

211


  3.

Irish Tax Consequences to the Parent in Connection with the Transfer/Assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims In Exchange for the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

 

  a.

Irish Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”)

The transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims from the Holders of such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes results in the acquisition of a chargeable asset by the Parent. However, on the basis that the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are contributed to Mallinckrodt International Finance SA (“LuxCo”) by the Parent on the same day on which they are assigned to the Parent by the Holders of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, and the value of the shares issued by Mallinckrodt plc equal the market value of the receivables on the date of the transaction no Irish CGT should arise. To the extent they are not transferred on the same day, or the value of the shares issued does not equal the market value of the receivables, then Irish CGT may arise on any increase in the value of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes (including taking into account foreign exchange).

 

  b.

Stamp Duty

The transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims from the Holders of such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes to the Parent will fall within the charge to Irish stamp duty. However, the transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims from the Holders of such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes to the Parent should be subject to the loan capital exemption from Irish stamp duty (provided that certain conditions are met).

 

  c.

Irish VAT

Any VAT on costs that relate to the issue of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares may be deductible to the extent that such costs have a direct and immediate link to the economic activities of the issuer.

 

  4.

Irish Tax Consequences to Holders of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares in Connection with the Cancellation of the Equity Interests and the Transfer/Assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims In Exchange for the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

 

  a.

Irish Tax on the Transfer/Assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims

Non-Irish tax resident Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims should not be subject to Irish CGT on the disposal of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims.

The treatment of the transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims for an Irish tax resident Holder of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims will depend on whether the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are held as a trading asset or capital asset. Where the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are held as a trading asset, the transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims should form part of the taxable profits of the Holder and subject to Irish corporation tax at 12.5%.

Where the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims are held as a capital asset, Irish tax law specifies that those debts are regarded as chargeable assets for Irish CGT purposes. The transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims to the Parent, by any Irish tax resident Holder of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims, should be considered, prima facie, disposals chargeable to Irish CGT, taxable at 33%.

 

212


  b.

Irish CGT Base Cost of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

The base cost for Irish CGT purposes of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares should be the market value of same at the date of issuance. This is only relevant for Irish tax resident shareholders.

 

  c.

Irish Dividend Withholding Tax (“DWT”) on Future Dividends

Dividends or distributions paid by the Parent may be subject to Irish DWT. DWT is applied at a rate of 25%. There are a number of exemptions that allow dividends to be paid without the deduction of DWT. For DWT purposes, a distribution includes any distribution that may be made by the Parent to its Holders of Equity Interests including cash dividends, non-cash dividends and additional stock taken in lieu of a cash dividend. Where an exemption does not apply in respect of a distribution made to a particular shareholder, the Parent is responsible for withholding DWT prior to making such distribution.

 

  d.

Stamp Duty

No stamp duty should arise on the issue of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to the Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims.

Irish stamp duty (at the rate of 1% of the price paid or the market value of the shares acquired, whichever is greater) may, depending on the manner in which the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares are held, be payable in respect of transfers of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares.

Shares Held Through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)

A transfer of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares effected by means of the transfer of book-entry interests in DTC will not be subject to Irish stamp duty.

Shares Held Outside of DTC or Transferred Into or Out of DTC

A transfer of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares where any party to the transfer holds such shares outside of DTC may be subject to Irish stamp duty. Shareholders wishing to transfer their shares into (or out of) DTC may do so without giving rise to Irish stamp duty provided that:

 

   

there is no change in the beneficial ownership of such shares as a result of the transfer; and

 

   

the transfer into (or out of) DTC is not effected in contemplation of a sale of such shares by a beneficial owner to a third party.

 

  e.

VAT

Any Irish VAT incurred on costs associated with the Restructuring Transactions by Holders of Equity Interests or holders of the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares may not be recoverable by any Irish VAT registered shareholders.

 

213


XIII. LUXEMBOURG INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

  A.

Luxembourg Tax Consequences To The Plan

 

  1.

Introduction

The purpose of this section of the Disclosure Statement is to outline the main Luxembourg income tax aspects related to the Disclosure Statement (and, in particular, the Waiver and Repayment in Kind (each as defined below)) and not to provide a comprehensive review of all Luxembourg tax considerations.

This section is strictly limited to Luxembourg income tax considerations, so that any legal, financial, regulatory or other aspects whatsoever as well as any foreign law aspects (if applicable) have not been reviewed nor covered by this section. Moreover, this section does not address Luxembourg net wealth tax considerations or any other direct or indirect Luxembourg tax considerations.

The information contained in this section deals with the Restructuring Transactions described in the Plan and the Disclosure Statement and, accordingly, is necessarily general and the applicability or effect of matters developed may vary if the Restructuring Transactions are implemented in a manner other than described in the Plan and Disclosure Statement.

This section is based on the Luxembourg laws currently in force, the regulations thereto, relevant judicial decisions and our understanding of the current administrative practices as of the date of this section. The law and the administrative practices are subject to change. In the event of such changes, the content of this section may be adversely affected. The Debtors assume no responsibility (i) to update this section for any such changes or (ii) to monitor the continuing relevance or suitability of this section for the purposes for which it was delivered.

No assurance can be given that the Luxembourg income tax authorities (Administration des contributions directes) (“Lux Tax Authorities”) or any other tax authority would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a different position than any position discussed herein.

This summary does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a general guide. The summary is not exhaustive and Holders of Prepetition Debt or Equity Interests should consult their own tax advisors about the Luxembourg tax consequences (and tax consequences under the laws of other relevant jurisdictions) of the Plan.

 

  2.

Preliminary Debt Assumption By LuxCo Prior to the Waiver or Repayment of the Prepetition Debt

As part of the Restructuring Transactions under the Plan, LuxCo would assume a portion of the obligations of the First Lien Term Loan Claims at face value from MEH, Inc. (the “Debt Assumption”). LuxCo will not assume any Prepetition Debt fees as part of the Debt Assumption.

The Debt Assumption would be executed such that LuxCo will assume a portion of the Prepetition Debt of MEH, Inc. at face value in exchange for an increase of the acquisition price of MEH, Inc. (i.e., the Debt Assumption will be enacted as an equity contribution from LuxCo equivalent to the amount of the Debt Assumption). Subsequent to the increase of the equity value of MEH, Inc. as the result of the Debt Assumption, an impairment test should be made to conclude whether or not a durable impairment on LuxCo’s participation in MEH, Inc. has to be recorded through the profit and loss account. The Debt Assumption is not expected to lead to adverse Luxembourg tax consequences.

Any subsequent impairment that could be booked for accounting purposes would be tax deductible, but will be subject to certain Luxembourg tax deduction limitation rules.

Any interest to accrue on the debt or associated debt charges (such as external fees) relating to the Debt Assumption should be tax deductible subject to various Luxembourg tax deduction limitation rules (i.e., mainly interest limitation rules and recaptures rules).

 

214


  3.

Luxembourg Tax Consequences in Connection with the Transfer/Assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims in Exchange for the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares

 

  a.

At the Level of LuxCo

There will be a transfer/assignment of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims from the Holders of such Guaranteed Unsecured Notes to Mallinckrodt Plc via the issuance of Mallinckrodt Plc shares, either structured as: (a) an exchange where Mallinckrodt Plc transfers shares in exchange for the Prepetition Debt held by the creditors towards LuxCo or (b) the creditors of LuxCo are contributing their Prepetition Debt to Mallinckrodt Plc in exchange for the shares issuance (the “Repayment in Kind”). After the Repayment in Kind, LuxCo should recognise a change of creditors as Mallinckrodt Plc will hold directly the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims towards LuxCo. Immediately following the Repayment in Kind, Mallinckrodt Plc will contribute the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims to LuxCo in exchange for newly issued shares of LuxCo (the “Settlement”).

The Repayment in Kind (i.e., the acquisition of the Prepetition Debt of LuxCo by Mallinckrodt Plc from the creditors of LuxCo) should not create any adverse Luxembourg tax consequences to the extent that the subsequent settlement of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims (via the equity contribution from Mallinckrodt Plc to LuxCo) is carried out at face value and related accrued interest, and for an equivalent consideration.

The Settlement (whereby Mallinckrodt Plc contributes the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims to LuxCo in exchange for shares) must be carried out at fair value. If the fair value of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims under the Settlement is lower than its face value, such a transaction should lead to an increase of LuxCo’s wealth and hence, is a taxable event (for the amount by which the face value exceeds the fair value) at the level of LuxCo from a Luxembourg corporate income tax perspective. In this scenario, the Settlement should lead to an increase of the equity of LuxCo and realization of a commercial profit (for the difference between the contribution value and the face value of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims) which should be subject to Luxembourg tax at the global income tax rate of 24.94% (for the fiscal year 2021). As of the date of this Disclosure Statement, Luxembourg should have the right to tax such a capital gain (if any) without specific limitations. However, such taxable income may be offset with the available tax losses carried forward of LuxCo. Considering the amount of tax losses of LuxCo, this scenario would likely be anticipated as the amounts of tax losses is expected to exceed any gain resulting from the Settlement.

Under Luxembourg Income Tax Law (the “Luxembourg ITL”), for any tax losses incurred starting from the tax year 2017, the carry-forward of those losses is limited to 17 years. The carry-forward is unlimited for older tax losses, with such older tax losses being deducted first.

By derogation, Article 52 of the Luxembourg ITL sets forth that the net gain realized by a Luxembourg fully taxable corporation (such as LuxCo), upon total or partial debt forgiveness that has occurred in the framework of a debt reorganization aiming at the financial recovery of the business of the debtor (the so called “gain d’assainissement”), is to be eliminated from the taxable result.

Since Mallinckrodt Plc is treated as a corporation for Luxembourg tax purposes, dividend distributions or any assimilated flow of funds to be carried out by LuxCo to Mallinckrodt Plc should be exempt from withholding tax as the relevant conditions provided by Article 147 of the Luxembourg ITL should be met.

 

215


Under 156 (8) of Luxembourg ITL, non-residents are subject to capital gains tax in Luxembourg if they dispose of shares in important participations within a period of six months. Because Mallinckrodt Plc has been a shareholder of LuxCo for more than six months, there should be no application of the non-resident capital gains taxation in Luxembourg.

 

  b.

At the Level of the Creditors

As a general rule, the repayment of a claim at face value to a creditor does not lead to an increase or decrease of his wealth and, hence, should not be a tax event at his/her level from a Luxembourg income tax perspective.

However, if the terms of payment is a payment in kind (such as the delivery of the Mallinckrodt Plc shares under the Repayment in Kind) made at the FMV (not the same as the face value) on the transfer date and if cumulatively, the transferee is either a Luxembourg tax resident or a non-Luxembourg tax resident who has a permanent establishment in Luxembourg to which his stake in the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims is allocated, the Repayment in Kind amount should be expected to be a taxable event (gain or loss recognition). The tax treatment of such gain or loss will depend on the specific tax position of each creditor. Moreover, with respect to the Mallinckrodt Plc shares transferred to such creditor, the initial acquisition price set at the Repayment in Kind date should be one of the elements to assess the eligibility of Mallinckrodt Plc to the Luxembourg participation exemption regime at the level of such creditors.

While the intent is not to have any Holders of the Prepetition Debt becoming direct shareholders of LuxCo, it has to be noted that if such a situation materializes, Luxembourg withholding tax implications should be considered. Double Tax Treaties (“DTT’s”) may provide for a reduced rate of 5% withholding tax provided amongst other provisions that the beneficiaries of dividend distributions are capital companies owning either 10% (DTT between the United States and Luxembourg dated April 3, 1996) or 25% (DTT between Ireland and Luxembourg dated January 14, 1972) of LuxCo shares.

Also, while the intent is not to have any Holders (non-Luxembourg resident) of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims become direct shareholders of LuxCo, it has to be noted that if such a situation materializes, the non-resident capital gains taxation rules should only apply if the shares in LuxCo would be disposed of by a given shareholder within a period of 6 months after the acquisition of the LuxCo shares (participation of 10% or more).

However, the taxation right of Luxembourg is restricted by the DTT’s signed between Luxembourg and foreign jurisdictions. Subject to the availability of the tax conventions, Article 14 (5) of the DTT between the United States and Luxembourg dated April 3, 1996 grants exclusive taxing rights over any capital gain to the United States. In this context, the application of 156 (8) of the Luxembourg ITL should be overridden by Article 14 (5) of the DTT US-Lux. In addition, Article 12 of the DTT between Ireland and Luxembourg dated January 14, 1972 grants exclusive taxing rights over any capital gain to Ireland. In this context, the application of 156 (8) of the Luxembourg ITL should be overridden by Article 12 of the DTT Irish-Lux.

The present section does not provide for an in-depth analysis of all the conditions to benefit from the double tax treaties and the related reduced withholding tax rates (a case-by-case assessment has to be carried out).

Regarding any non-Luxembourg tax residents creditors that do not have a permanent establishment in Luxembourg (to which their stake in the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims is allocated), the Repayment in Kind should not generate Luxembourg income tax implications at their level. The above withholding tax and non-resident capital gains consideration have to, however, be further assessed.

 

216


XIV.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The Debtors believe the Plan is in the best interests of all stakeholders and urge the holders of Claims in Classes 2(b) (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 2(c) (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 3 (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 4 (unless otherwise Unimpaired in accordance with the Plan), 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 to vote in favor thereof.

Administrative Claims

 

  1.

General Administrative Claims

Subject to the provisions of sections 328, 330(a), and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim and the applicable Debtor(s) or Reorganized Debtor(s), as applicable, agree to less favorable treatment with respect to such Allowed General Administrative Claim, each Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim will receive, in full and final satisfaction of its General Administrative Claim, an amount in Cash equal to the unpaid amount of such Allowed General Administrative Claim in accordance with the following: (a) if such General Administrative Claim is Allowed on or prior to the Effective Date, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter or, if not then due, when such Allowed General Administrative Claim is due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (b) if such General Administrative Claim is Allowed after the Effective Date, on the date such General Administrative Claim is Allowed or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter or, if not then due, when such Allowed General Administrative Claim is due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (c) at such time and upon such terms as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be; or (d) at such time and upon such terms as set forth in an order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that Allowed General Administrative Claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business during the Chapter 11 Cases shall be paid in full in Cash in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice.

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Opioid Claims arising after the Petition Date and based upon or arising from the Debtors’ pre-Effective Date conduct or activities (and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any VI Opioid Claims), shall receive the treatment set forth herein for Classes 8(a)-8(d) and 9(a)-9(i) (as applicable) and shall not receive the treatment described above for General Administrative Claims. Upon the Effective Date, all General Administrative Claims that are Opioid Claims shall be channeled to the Opioid MDT II or the Opioid Creditor Trusts, as applicable, as set forth in Articles IV.W.5, IV.X.5, and IX.G herein, and shall no longer have General Administrative Claim status. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent incurred prior to the Effective Date, the New Credit Facilities shall survive the Effective Date and shall not constitute General Administrative Claims entitled to the treatment set forth in this Article II.A.1.

 

  2.

Professional Fee Claims, Restructuring Expenses, and Post Effective Date Implementation Expenses

All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Effective Date must be Filed no later than 45 days after the Effective Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amounts of such Professional Fee Claims after notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and prior Bankruptcy Court orders. The Reorganized Debtors shall pay Professional Fee Claims owing to the Retained Professionals in Cash to such Retained Professionals in the amount the Bankruptcy Court Allows from funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Professional Fee Claims are Allowed by entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations to pay Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall not be limited or deemed limited to funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account. To the extent that funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the Allowed amount of Professional Fee Claims owing to the Retained Professionals, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay such amounts within ten (10) Business Days of entry of the order approving such Professional Fee Claims.

 

43


No later than the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Escrow Amount. The Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be maintained in trust solely for the Retained Professionals and for no other Entities until all Professional Fee Claims Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been irrevocably paid in full in Cash to the Retained Professionals pursuant to one or more Final Orders of the Bankruptcy Court. No Liens, claims, or interests shall encumber the Professional Fee Escrow Account or Cash held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account in any way. No funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be property of the Estates of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. When all Professional Fee Claims Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been irrevocably paid in full in Cash to the Retained Professionals pursuant to one or more Final Orders of the Bankruptcy Court, any remaining funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be remitted to the Reorganized Debtors without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity being required.

The Retained Professionals shall deliver to the Debtors a reasonable and good-faith estimate of their unpaid fees and expenses incurred in rendering services to the Debtors before and as of the Effective Date projected to be outstanding as of the anticipated Effective Date, and shall deliver such estimate no later than five Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no such estimate shall be considered or deemed an admission or limitation with respect to the amount of the fees and expenses that are the subject of a Retained Professional’s final request for payment of Professional Fee Claims Filed with the Bankruptcy Court, and such Retained Professionals are not bound to any extent by the estimates. If a Retained Professional does not provide an estimate, the Debtors may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and expenses of such Retained Professional. The total aggregate amount so estimated to be outstanding as of the anticipated Effective Date shall be utilized by the Debtors to determine the amount to be funded to the Professional Fee Escrow Account; provided that the Reorganized Debtors shall use Cash on hand to increase the amount of the Professional Fee Escrow Account to the extent fee applications are Filed after the Effective Date in excess of the amount held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account based on such estimates.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Restructuring Expenses and Post Effective Date Implementation Expenses shall be paid in accordance with Article IV.S of the Plan, and the terms under this Article II.A.2 shall not apply to the parties entitled to receive the Restructuring Expenses. The Reorganized Debtors shall pay the Post Effective Date Implementation Expenses that they incur on or after the Effective Date in the ordinary course of business and without application or notice to, or order of, the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  3.

Administrative Claims Bar Date

If a Holder of an Administrative Claim (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, VI Opioid Claims, Cure Costs, Professional Fee Claims, Restructuring Expenses, Indenture Trustee Fees (to the extent they would be Administrative Claims) or United States Trustee quarterly fees payable pursuant to Article II.C below) is required to, but does not, File and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claim by the Administrative Claims Bar Date, such Administrative Claim shall be considered Allowed only if and to the extent that no objection to the allowance thereof has been interposed within three months following the subsequent filing and service of such request or as otherwise set by the Bankruptcy Court or such an objection is so interposed and the Claim has been Allowed by a Final Order; provided that any Claim Filed after entry of a decree closing the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases shall not be Allowed unless the Holder of such Claim obtains an order of the Bankruptcy Court allowing such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Claims that were subject to the Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date, proof of which was not timely submitted in accordance with the Initial Administrative Claims Bar Date Order, shall be disallowed.

 

44


The Reorganized Debtors, in their sole and absolute discretion, may settle Administrative Claims in the ordinary course of business without further Bankruptcy Court approval. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may also choose to object to any Administrative Claim no later than the Administrative Claims Objection Deadline, subject to extensions by the Bankruptcy Court, agreement in writing of the parties, or on motion of a party in interest approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Unless the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors (or other party with standing) object to a timely-Filed and properly served Administrative Claim, such Administrative Claim will be deemed Allowed in the amount requested. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors object to an Administrative Claim, the parties may confer to try to reach a settlement and, failing that, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether such Administrative Claim should be Allowed and, if so, in what amount.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, VI Opioid Claims shall not be subject to any Administrative Claims Bar Date or any procedures governing the assertion of, and objection to, Administrative Claims contained in the Plan. All VI Opioid Claims shall survive Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan and shall be obligations of the relevant Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

B.

To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on or before the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and such Holder, or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business.

 

C.

Other Priority Claims

To the extent any Allowed Other Priority Claim is not due and owing on or before the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors (or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) and such Holder, or as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business.

Article III.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

 

A.

Classification of Claims

The Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 Plan of reorganization for each Debtor. The provisions of this Article III govern Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. Except for the Claims addressed in Article II above (or as otherwise set forth herein), all Claims and Interests are placed in Classes for each of the applicable Debtors. For all purposes under this Plan, each Class will exist for each of the Debtors; provided, that any Class that is vacant as to a particular Debtor will be treated in accordance with Article III.G below. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have not classified Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and Other Priority Claims as described in Article II.

The categories of Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and Interests for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation and distribution pursuant hereto and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan deems a Claim or Interest to be classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. A Claim or an Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

Therefore, in each case, Holders of Class 12 Intercompany Interests are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

 

  13.

  a.

Classification: Class 13 consists of all Subordinated Claims.

Acceptance or Rejection of the Plan

 

  1.

Presumed Acceptance of Plan

Claims in Classes 1 and 2(a) are Unimpaired under the Plan and their Holders are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 1 and 2(a) are not entitled to vote on the Plan and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.4

 

4 

The Plan provides for potential treatment which would render Claims in Classes 2(b), 2(c), 3, and 4 Unimpaired, in which case such Claims would be conclusively presumed to accept the Plan, and Holders of such Claims would not be entitled to vote.

 

63


  2.

Voting Classes

Claims in Classes 2(b)-(c), 3, 4, 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 are Impaired under the Plan and the Holders of Allowed Claims in all such Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, including by acting through a Voting Representative. 5 For purposes of determining acceptance and rejection of the Plan, each such Class (including each Class identified by a number and letter) will be regarded as a separate voting Class and votes will be tabulated on a Debtor-by-Debtor basis.

An Impaired Class of Claims shall have accepted this Plan if (a) the Holders, including Holders acting through a Voting Representative, of at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount of Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept this Plan and (b) the Holders, including Holders acting through a Voting Representative, of more than one-half (1/2) in number of Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept this Plan. Holders of Claims in Classes 2(b)-(c), 3, 4, 5, 6(a)-(f), 7, 8(a)-(d), 9(a)-(h), and 10 (or, if applicable, the Voting Representatives of such Holders) shall receive ballots containing detailed voting instructions. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to and except as otherwise provided in the Disclosure Statement Order, each Claim in (x) Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a) -(h) and (y) any other Class entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan that is not Allowed pursuant to the Plan and, in each case, is wholly contingent, unliquidated, or disputed (based on the face of such Proof of Claim or as determined upon the review of the Debtors), in each case, shall be accorded one (1) vote and valued at one dollar ($1.00) for voting purposes only, and not for purposes of Allowance or distribution. Based on the foregoing sentence, Classes 8(a)-(d) and 9(a)-(h) shall be deemed to have accepted this Plan if the Holders, including Holders acting through a Voting Representative, of at least two-thirds (2/3) in number of Claims actually voting in such Class have voted to accept the Plan.

 

  3.

Deemed Rejection of the Plan

Claims and Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14 are Impaired under the Plan and their Holders shall receive no distributions under the Plan on account of their Claims or Interests (as applicable) and are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 9(i), 13, and 14 are not entitled to vote on the Plan and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

 

  4.

Presumed Acceptance of the Plan or Deemed Rejection of the Plan

Claims and Interests in Classes 11 and 12 are either (a) Unimpaired and are, therefore, conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (b) Impaired and shall receive no distributions under the Plan and are, therefore, deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 11 and 12 are not entitled to vote on the Plan and votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

 

5 

Holders of Claims in Class 2(b), Class 2(c), Class 3, and Class 4 are entitled to vote, but the Plan provides for potential treatment which would render these Claims Unimpaired, in which case such Claims would be conclusively presumed to accept the Plan, and any votes by Holders of such Claims will be moot and disregarded.

Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of the Plan by an Impaired Class of Claims.

The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan in accordance with Article XI of the Plan to the extent, if any, that Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires modification, including by modifying the treatment applicable to a Class of Claims or Interests to render such Class of Claims or Interests Unimpaired to the extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules.

G.

Vacant and Abstaining Classes

Any Class of Claims or Interests that is not occupied as of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or a Claim or Interest temporarily Allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018 shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan and for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, any Class of Claims that is occupied as of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by an Allowed Claim or a Claim temporarily Allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, but as to which no vote is cast, shall be deemed to accept the Plan pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.

To the extent Intercompany Interests and Intercompany Claims are Reinstated under the Plan, distributions on account of such Intercompany Interests and Intercompany Claims are not being received by Holders of such Intercompany Interests or Intercompany Interests on account of their Intercompany Interests or Intercompany Claims, but for the purposes of administrative convenience and to maintain the Debtors’ (and their Affiliate-subsidiaries) corporate structure, for the ultimate benefit of the Holders of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares, to preserve ordinary course intercompany operations, and in exchange for the Debtors’ and Reorganized Debtors’ agreement under the Plan to make certain distributions to the Holders of Allowed Claims.

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Opioid MDT II expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to any Cause of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Any Opioid Claimants’ support of, or position or action taken in connection with, this Plan, the Plan Supplement, and the Confirmation Order may differ from his position or testimony in any other litigation or proceeding except in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases. Further, the treatment of Opioid Claims as set forth in this Plan is not intended to serve as an example for, or represent the parties’ respective positions or views concerning any other chapter 11 cases relating to opioid products, nor shall it be used as precedent by any Entity or party in any other chapter 11 cases related to opioid products.

Transferability of Opioid Claim Distribution Rights

Any right of a Holder of an Opioid Claim to receive a distribution or other payment from the Opioid MDT II or the Opioid Creditor Trusts on account of an Opioid Claim shall not be evidenced by any certificate, security, receipt or in any other form or manner whatsoever, except on the books and records of the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts, as applicable. Further,

 

81


any right of a Holder of an Opioid Claim to receive a Distribution or other payment from the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts on account of an Opioid Claim shall be nontransferable and nonassignable except by will, intestate, succession or operation of law. Any rights of Holders of Opioid Claims to receive a Distribution or other payment from the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, the Opioid MDT II, or the Opioid Creditor Trusts on account of Opioid Claims shall not constitute “securities” and shall not be registered pursuant to the Securities Act. If it is determined that such rights constitute “securities,” the exemption provisions of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code would be satisfied and such securities would be exempt from registration.

Transfers of Property to and Assumption of Certain Liabilities by the Opioid MDT II

 

  1.

Transfer of Books and Records to the Opioid MDT II

On the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to the Opioid MDT II copies of all books and records necessary for, and for the sole purpose of enabling and to the extent necessary to enable, the defense of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, both privileged and non-privileged documents; provided, that, after the transfer of such books and records the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may destroy copies of such books and records in accordance with their record management policies. The transfer of any privileged books and records provided to the Opioid MDT II necessary for the defense of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) shall not result in the destruction or waiver of any applicable privileges pertaining to such books and records. No documents or communications subject to a privilege shall be publicly disclosed by the Opioid MDT II or communicated to any person not entitled to receive such information or in a manner that would diminish the protected status of such information, unless such disclosure or communication is reasonably necessary to defend the Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands). Further, pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, none of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, any of the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ Affiliates or the Disinterested Managers shall be liable for violating any confidentiality or privacy protections as a result of transferring the books and records to the Opioid MDT II in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, and the Opioid MDT II, upon receipt of the books and records, shall take appropriate steps to comply with any such applicable protections.

 

  2.

Funding the Opioid MDT II

 

  a.

Opioid MDT II Funding Amount

The Opioid MDT II shall be funded solely by the Opioid MDT II Consideration. On the Effective Date, the obligations to provide the Opioid MDT II Consideration shall constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the applicable Reorganized Debtors, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof. The financial accommodations to be extended in connection with the Opioid MDT II Consideration are being extended, and shall be deemed to have been extended, in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, are reasonable, shall not be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination (including equitable subordination) for any purposes whatsoever, and shall not constitute preferential transfers, fraudulent conveyances, or other voidable transfers under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable non-bankruptcy law.

 

  b.

Payments to the Opioid MDT II

On the Effective Date, the Debtors and/or the Reorganized Debtors will make the Initial Opioid MDT II Payment, and thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors or Reorganized Mallinckrodt will make each of the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments subject to the Prepayment Option; provided after any sale of (i) Mallinckrodt Enterprises Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, its

 

82


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 the agreements governing their funded indebtedness (as may be modified from time to time), 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 MDT II; and the amount of such net proceeds actually conveyed to the Opioid MDT II will be deemed a ratable repayment against the remaining Opioid Deferred Cash Payments that the Opioid MDT II 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. The Debtors intend that payments to the Opioid MDT II (whenever made, and from whatever source) will constitute “restitution . . . for damage or harm” 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 a government or governmental entity. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence is intended to apply to the tax characterization of payments to the Opioid MDT II on account of Opioid Claims, and such tax characterization shall not be construed to be dispositive for any non-tax purpose. Nor shall such tax characterization be construed to mean that Debtors’ payments satisfy the full extent of the liability associated with Opioid Claims, the satisfaction of which remains a valuable right assigned to the Opioid MDT II, nor that the remaining liability associated with Opioid Claims seeks restitution as a form of relief.

 

  c.

New Opioid Warrants

On the Effective Date, Reorganized Mallinckrodt shall issue, and the Debtors shall cause to be transferred, the New Opioid Warrants to the Opioid MDT II.8

The Reorganized Debtors shall transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to the Opioid MDT II copies of books and records necessary for, and for the sole purpose of enabling and to the extent necessary to enable, the prosecution of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights in accordance with the Cooperation Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, both privileged and non-privileged documents; provided, that, after the transfer of such books and records the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may destroy copies of such books and records in accordance with their record management policies. Such transfer shall not result in the destruction or waiver of any applicable privileges pertaining to such books and records. No documents or communications subject to a privilege shall be publicly disclosed by the Opioid MDT II or communicated to any person not entitled to receive such information or in a manner that would diminish the protected status of such information, unless such disclosure or communication is reasonably necessary to preserve, secure, prosecute, or obtain the benefit of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights.

The Opioid MDT II shall be authorized to conduct Rule 2004 examinations, to the fullest extent permitted thereunder, to investigate the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights, without the requirement of filing a motion for such authorization; provided, however, that no such Rule 2004 examinations shall be taken of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective then-

83


current or former employees, officers, directors or Representatives without further order of the Bankruptcy Court (if the Chapter 11 Cases remain open) after notice and an opportunity to object and be heard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) employees, officers, directors or Representatives of Medtronic plc and/or its subsidiaries, and each of their predecessors, successors, and assigns, are not exempt from Rule 2004 examinations, and nothing herein shall interfere with the obligations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective then- current or former employees, officers, directors or Representatives to cooperate with the Opioid MDT II as set forth herein and in the Cooperation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the context of an actual pending litigation or contested matter, the rules of discovery applicable to such litigation or contested matter will control.

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 and the MSGE Group or the Opioid MDT II, on the other hand, shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith concerning (x) treatment of unsatisfied self-insured retentions under the applicable Insurance Contracts with the objective of minimizing adverse consequences to Mallinckrodt, Reorganized Mallinckrodt, and the Opioid MDT II (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 (y) any actions by the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or the Opioid MDT II to pursue or preserve the Insurance Contracts relating to the Assigned Insurance Rights.

 

  3.

Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights Cooperation

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and counsel to the MSGE Group in connection with their investigation, preservation, pursuit, and securing of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights, including by providing non-privileged information (including, without limitation, data, documents, emails, and access to individuals with information), at the reasonable request of counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and counsel to the MSGE Group.

The Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to provide all available, non-privileged information relating to the Assigned Third -Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights to counsel to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and to counsel to the MSGE Group during the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases; provided, however, that such information shall be provided prior to entry of the Confirmation Order.

On and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Opioid MDT II in connection with the Opioid MDT II’s investigation, preservation, pursuit, and securing of the Assigned Third-Party Claims and the Assigned Insurance Rights. The terms and conditions of such cooperation shall be set forth in the Cooperation Agreement and included in the Confirmation Order. The Opioid MDT II 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 Effective Date.

Any request by the Opioid MDT II, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, or the MSGE Group for cooperation by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall be on reasonable advance notice, and provided during normal business hours and otherwise in a manner that does not disrupt commercial operations.

87


accordance with the order of either the MDL Court or the Bankruptcy Court, as will be reasonably agreed to by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group, establishing the Common Benefit Fund.

However, the applicable Claimant and its counsel, in their sole discretion, may agree that an amount up to but not exceeding 40% of the amount payable under this Article IV.X.8 may be applied to the reimbursement of actual costs and expenses incurred by such Claimant’s counsel, in which case such agreed cost-reimbursement amount shall not reduce the contingency fee amounts payable to such counsel. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Debtors, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, and the MSGE Group agree to any reduced or less restrictive terms concerning the 5% Common Benefit Fund assessment (or its implementation) provided under any portion of this Article IV.X.8 for any of the Private Opioid Creditor Trusts and the Ratepayer Account, then such modifications shall apply to each of the groups, mutatis mutandis.

The NAS Monitoring Attorney Fee Fund shall be administered by the NAS Monitoring Trust on terms acceptable to the NAS Committee.

F. PI Claimant Costs and Expenses. The Opioid Creditor Trustee of the PI Trust shall pay or reimburse, as applicable, the compensation, costs and fees of professionals that represented or advised the Ad Hoc Group of Personal Injury Victims and the NAS Committee in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, as and to the extent provided in the PI Trust Documents.

In this regard, the payment of the assessments described in this Article IV.X.8 shall be the only payment that such Holders (or their counsel) shall ever have to make to the Common Benefit Fund with respect to amounts distributed under this Plan, and shall not be subject to any further or other common benefit or similar assessments with respect to amounts distributed pursuant to the Plan or payments to attorneys in respect thereof.

The Opioid MDT II Administrator shall implement procedures, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, for the submission of Other Opioid Claims, including notice procedures with respect thereto, and for the resolution of such Other Opioid Claims, which shall permit (but not require) that any litigation thereon occur in the Bankruptcy Court.

All Other Opioid Claims shall be Disputed Claims under the Plan. Only Other Opioid Claims that become Allowed Claims pursuant to the procedures contained in Article IV.Y.2 herein shall be entitled to distributions from the Other Opioid Claims Reserve, Pro Rata with other Allowed Other Opioid Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, Other Opioid Claims, whether Allowed or disallowed, shall not be entitled to any distributions from the Opioid MDT II or any Abatement Trust or other Opioid Creditor Trust, other than from the Other Opioid Claims Reserve. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary, the Opioid MDT II shall treat the Other Opioid Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including, to the extent applicable, the Opioid MDT II and Holders of Other Opioid Claims) shall be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

 

  2.

Objections to Other Opioid Claims

The Opioid MDT II Administrator shall be entitled to object to Other Opioid Claims. Any objections to Other Opioid Claims shall be served and filed on or before the later of (i) two-hundred and seventy (270) days after the Effective Date and (ii) such later date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court (as the same may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court for cause shown). The Opioid MDT II Administrator shall be entitled to use omnibus objections in compliance with Local Rule 3007-1 and may seek Bankruptcy Court approval to establish additional objection or estimation procedures as the Opioid MDT II Administrator believes appropriate.

 

  3.

Resolution of Disputed Other Opioid Claims

On and after the Effective Date the Opioid MDT II Administrator shall have the authority to compromise, settle, otherwise resolve, or withdraw any objections to Disputed Other Opioid Claims and to compromise, settle, or otherwise resolve any Disputed Other Opioid Claims without approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

  4.

Disallowance of Other Opioid Claims

Any Other Opioid Claims held by an Entity from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, as determined by a Final Order, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Other Opioid Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Other Opioid Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtors by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors.

 

  5.

Estimation of Other Opioid Claims

The Opioid MDT II Administrator may at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Other Opioid Claims pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason or purpose, regardless of whether the Opioid MDT II Administrator has previously objected to such Other Opioid Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection. The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Other Opioid Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Other Opioid Claim, including, during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. If the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Other Opioid Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute the maximum limitation on such Other Opioid Claim, and the Opioid MDT II Administrator may pursue supplementary proceedings to object to the ultimate allowance of such Other Opioid Claim. All of the aforementioned objection, estimation and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Other Opioid Claims may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any holder of an Other Opioid Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such Other Opioid Claim unless the holder of such Other Opioid Claim has filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before twenty (20) calendar days after the date such Other Opioid Claim is estimated by the Bankruptcy Court.

The Opioid MDT II Administrator reserves the right to reduce the Other Opioid Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with any such estimation.

 

  6.

Periodic Distributions from Other Opioid Claims Reserve

The Opioid MDT II Trustee(s) shall make distributions from time to time in their discretion from the Other Opioid Claims Reserve to holders of Allowed Other Opioid Claims, upon their determination that after distribution, and consistent with and subject to section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Other Opioid Claims Reserve shall entitle such holder an aggregate amount equal to the Pro Rata Share of each distribution that would have been made to holders of Other Opioid Claims that remain Disputed and allocate such amount to the Other Opioid Claims Reserve as if each such Other Opioid Claim that remains Disputed were Allowed Claims, for each Other Opioid Claim in the amount equal to the least of (i) the filed amount of such Other Opioid Claim, (ii) the amount determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court for purposes of fixing the amount to be retained for such Other Opioid Claim, and (iii) such other amount as may be agreed upon by the Holder of such Other Opioid Claim and the Opioid MDT II Administrator.

The VI- Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors and the Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, will work cooperatively to develop technical specifications for the productions.

 

  2.

Information That May Be Redacted

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 (i) 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 (ii) 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 the VI-Specific Debtors’ and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors’ officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys.

 

92


  (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 the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors may not abrogate.

 

  (d)

Information regarding the VI-Specific Debtors’ and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors’ employees’ personal matters unrelated to the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors, including emails produced by the VI-Specific Debtors’ custodians discussing vacation or sick leave, family, or other personal matters.

 

  3.

Redaction of Documents Containing Protected Information

Whenever a document contains information subject to a claim of exemption pursuant to Article IV.AA.2, the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors 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.

The VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall produce to the Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, 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 Article IV.AA.7.

In addition to the redacted documents, the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall, upon any Settling State’s request, also produce all documents identified in Article IV.AA.1 in unredacted form to such Settling State at the same time. The redacted documents produced by the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors may be publicly disclosed in accordance with Article IV.AA.6. The unredacted documents produced by the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors to a Settling State shall be available only to such Settling State unless the VI-Specific Debtors’ and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors’ claim of exemption under Article IV.AA.2 is successfully challenged in accordance with Article IV.AA.4 or the trade secret designation expires in accordance with Article IV.AA.5.

 

  4.

Challenges to Redaction

Anyone, including members of the public and the press, may challenge the appropriateness of redactions by providing notice to the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors. If the challenge is not resolved by agreement, it must be resolved in the first instance by a third party jointly appointed by the Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, and the VI -Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors to resolve such challenges. The decision of the third party may be appealed to a court with enforcement authority over the Opioid Operating Injunction. 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.

 

93


  5.

Review of Trade Secret Redactions

Ten years after the VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors complete the production of documents in accordance with this Article IV.AA, the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall review all trade secret assertions made in accordance with Article IV.AA.2 and all non-manufacturing trade secret designations shall expire. The newly unredacted documents may then be publicly disclosed by the Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, in accordance with Article IV.AA.6. The Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall produce to the Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, an updated redaction log justifying its designations of the remaining trade secret redactions as manufacturing trade secrets.

 

  6.

Public Disclosure through a Document Repository

The Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, may publicly disclose all documents covered by this Article IV.AA through a public repository maintained by a governmental, non-profit, or academic institution. The Minnesota State Attorney General, on behalf of the Settling States, 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 this Article IV.AA 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 this Article IV.AA.

 

  7.

Timeline for Production

The VI-Specific Debtors and/or the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall produce all documents required by Article IV.AA.1 within nine months from the Petition Date.

Monitor9

 

  1.Appointment

and Term

The Confirmation Order will provide for the appointment of the Monitor for a term of five years from the Petition Date. If, at the conclusion of the Monitor’s five-year term, the Settling States determine in good faith and in consultation with the Monitor that the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors have failed to achieve and maintain substantial compliance with the substantive provisions of the Opioid Operating Injunction, the Monitor’s engagement shall be extended for an additional term of up to two years, subject to the right of the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors to commence legal proceedings for the purpose of challenging the decision of the Settling States and to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief with respect thereto.

 

9 

This section is qualified in its entirety by the Voluntary Injunction and the Opioid Operating Injunction, and for any inconsistency between this section and the Voluntary Injunction and the Opioid Operating Injunction, the Voluntary Injunction and the Opioid Operating Injunction, as applicable, will govern.

 

94


2.

Identity

The Monitor for the full term shall be the Chapter 11 Monitor in place as of the Effective Date unless justifiable cause exists and the Monitor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect upon the Effective Date, unless amended or superseded by further order of the Bankruptcy Court, which order may be the Confirmation Order. For purposes of this paragraph, justifiable cause exists if the Monitor resigns or a court finds that the Monitor: (a) develops a conflict of interest that would undermine public confidence in the objectivity of his or her work; (b) has unreasonably failed to fulfill his or her material obligations under the Opioid Operating Injunction or pursuant to his or her work plan, (c) has engaged in any act of dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement, intentional fraud, or similar conduct; or (d) has engaged in an intentional act of bias or prejudice in favor or against either party. Justifiable cause shall not include the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors’ or the Settling States’ disagreements with the decisions of the Monitor, 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.

If a new Monitor must be appointed during the term, the Reorganized VI- Specific Debtors and the Settling States shall exchange pools of recommended candidates within 30 days of the Monitor’s departure. The pools shall each contain the names of three individuals, groups of individuals or firms and shall be based in part on 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.

After receiving the pools of Monitor candidates, the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors 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. The Reorganized VI- Specific Debtors 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 the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors or the Settling 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.

If the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors or the Settling States do not object to a proposed candidate, the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors 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.

Duties and Reporting

The Monitor shall be responsible for ensuring that the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors (and any successors during the Monitor’s term to the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors’ business operations relating to the manufacture and sale of opioid product(s) in the United States and its territories) are in compliance with the Opioid Operating Injunction. The Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors and their professionals and representatives shall cooperate and reasonably respond to requests by the Monitor in the performance of its responsibilities, including reasonable requests for access to relevant books and records of the Reorganized VI- Specific Debtors. Subject to any legally recognized privilege and as reasonably necessary to perform his or her duties, the Monitor shall have full and complete access to the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors’ personnel, books, records, and facilities, and to any other relevant information, as the Monitor may request. The Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall develop such information as the Monitor may request and shall fully, completely and promptly cooperate with the Monitor.

The manner in which the Monitor will carry out his or her responsibilities, the general scope of information that the Monitor will seek to review in fulfilling his or her duties and, where applicable, the methodologies to be utilized shall be consistent with the work plan used by the Chapter 11 Monitor as of the Effective Date (the “Work Plan”). The Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors, the Settling States, and the Monitor may jointly agree to revisions to the Work Plan.

 

95


The Monitor shall file a report with the Settling States regarding compliance by the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors with the terms of the Opioid Operating Injunction every 90 days after the Effective Date (the “Monitor Reports”). The Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors and the Settling States may jointly agree to decrease the frequency of Monitor Reports to every 180 days. To the extent permissible by state public record laws, these reports (in whole or in part) may be filed subject to restriction from public disclosure. The content of Monitor Reports shall be set forth in the Work Plan.

Prior to issuing a Monitor Report, the Monitor shall confer with Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors and the Settling States, either jointly or separately (in the discretion of the Monitor), regarding his or her preliminary findings and the reasons for those findings. The Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall have the right to submit written comments to the Monitor, which shall be appended to the final version of the Monitor Report.

 

  4.

Relief and Cure

In furtherance of the responsibilities of the Monitor, the Monitor shall be authorized to seek relief from the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent necessary to carry out its obligations hereunder.

In the event a Monitor Report identifies a potential violation of the Opioid Operating Injunction, the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors shall have the right to cure any potential violation within 30 days.

 

  5.

Professionals and Costs

The Monitor shall have the authority to employ, upon written consent from the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, such consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other representatives and assistants as are reasonably necessary to carry out the Monitor’s responsibilities. Requests to employ such individuals will be decided upon no later than ten (10) days from their receipt.

All compensation, costs and fees of the Monitor and any professionals retained by the Monitor shall be paid by the Reorganized VI-Specific Debtors.

No Substantive Consolidation

This Plan is being proposed as a joint chapter 11 plan of the Debtors for administrative purposes only and constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan for each Debtor.

Article V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS

AND UNEXPIRED LEASES; EMPLOYEE BENEFITS; AND INSURANCE POLICIES

 

A.

Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases not previously rejected, assumed, or assumed and assigned pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code except any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) identified on the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List (which shall initially be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Plan Supplement Filing Date) as an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be rejected, (2) that is the subject of a separate motion or notice to reject pending as of the Confirmation Date, or (3) that previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms (disregarding any terms the effect of which is invalidated by the Bankruptcy Code).

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumption of the Restructuring Support Agreement pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date. The Restructuring Support Agreement shall be binding and enforceable against the parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the assumption of the Restructuring Support Agreement herein shall not otherwise modify, alter, amend, or supersede any of the terms or conditions of the Restructuring Support Agreement including, without limitation, any termination events or provisions thereunder.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumptions of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order, and not assigned to a third party on or prior to the Effective Date, shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or

 

97


Unexpired Lease or the execution of any other Restructuring Transaction (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, consummation of the Restructuring Transactions shall not be deemed an assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease of the Debtors, notwithstanding any change in name, organizational form, or jurisdiction of organization of any Debtor in connection with the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan (except for the Consent Rights of Supporting Parties in Article I.C), the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to amend or supplement the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List in their discretion prior to the Confirmation Date (or such later date as may be permitted by Article V.B or Article V.E below), provided that the Debtors shall give prompt notice of any such amendment or supplement to any affected counterparty and such counterparty shall have no less than seven (7) days to object thereto on any grounds.

 

B.

Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Cost in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree. No later than the Plan Supplement Filing Date, to the extent not previously Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on affected counterparties, the Debtors shall provide notices of the proposed assumption and proposed Cure Costs to be sent to applicable counterparties, together with procedures for objecting thereto and for resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objection by a contract or lease counterparty to a proposed assumption or related Cure Cost must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors by the date on which objections to confirmation are due (or such other date as may be provided in the applicable assumption notice).

Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or Cure Cost will be deemed to have assented to such assumption and Cure Cost. Any timely objection to a proposed assumption or Cure Cost will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the Reorganized Debtors’ first scheduled omnibus hearing after the date that is ten (10) days after the date on which such objection is Filed. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any Cure Cost, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365(b) of the Bankruptcy Code under any Executory Contract or the Unexpired Lease, and/or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption and/or assignment, then such dispute shall be resolved by a Final Order; provided that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors may settle any such dispute and shall pay any agreed upon Cure Cost without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (except for the Consent Rights of Supporting Parties in Article I.C), the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to reject any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease previously designated for assumption within forty five (45) days after the entry of a Final Order resolving an objection to the assumption or to the proposed Cure Cost.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full satisfaction and cure of any Claims and defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease arising at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will continue to honor all postpetition and post-Effective Date obligations under any assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in accordance with their terms, regardless of whether such obligations are listed as a Cure Cost, and whether such obligations accrued prior to or after the Effective Date, and neither the payment of Cure Costs nor entry of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to release the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, from such obligations.

 

98


C.

Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any Proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise must be filed with the Notice and Claims Agent within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the rejection of the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be automatically disallowed without further order of the Bankruptcy Court. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall constitute General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III.B of the Plan.

 

D.

Contracts and Leases Entered into After the Petition Date

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, will be performed by such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, liable thereunder in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

 

E.

Reservation of Rights

Neither anything contained in the Plan nor the Debtors’ delivery of a notice of proposed assumption and proposed Cure Cost to any contract and lease counterparties shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have thirty (30) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease. If there is a dispute regarding a Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s liability under an assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Article X.C of the Plan.

 

F.

Indemnification Provisions and Reimbursement Obligations

On and as of the Effective Date, and except as prohibited by applicable law and subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Indemnification Provisions will be assumed and irrevocable and will survive the effectiveness of the Plan, and the New Governance Documents will provide to the fullest extent provided by law for the indemnification, defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ current and former directors, officers, equity holders, managers, members, employees, accountants, investment bankers, attorneys, other professionals, agents of the Debtors, and such current and former directors’, officers’, equity holders’, managers’, members’ and employees’ respective Affiliates (each of the foregoing solely in their capacity as such) at least to the same extent as the Indemnification Provisions, against any Claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, and, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, none of the Reorganized Debtors will amend and/or restate the New Governance Documents before or after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect any of the Indemnification Provisions.

As of the Effective Date, any term of any policy, contract or other obligation applicable to any Debtor shall be void and of no further force or effect to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent such policy, contract or other obligation creates an obligation of any Debtor, or gives rise to a right under any Insurance Contract of any Debtor, for the indemnification or reimbursement of any Person other than the Opioid MDT II for costs, losses, damages, fees, expenses or any other amounts whatsoever relating to or arising from any actual or potential litigation or dispute, whether accrued or unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, existing or hereinafter arising, based on or relating to or in connection with, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, any Opioid Claim or any Opioid Demand (excluding any indemnification obligations expressly assumed pursuant to, or otherwise provided for in, the Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall interfere with the Assigned Insurance Rights or the Opioid MDT II’s exercise of the Assigned Insurance Rights.

The Plan shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, constitute (i) an amendment to each assumed or assumed and assigned contract to sever any and all provisions thereof that give rise to any obligation or right described in this Article V.G and (ii) an agreement by each counterparty to release any and all obligations and liabilities arising under or relating to such severed provisions and any and all Co-Defendant Claims and Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) arising under such contract, including any Co-Defendant Claims and Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) that might otherwise be elevated to administrative status through assumption of such contract. The severed portion of each such contract shall be rejected as of the Effective Date, and any Claims resulting from such rejection shall be forever released and discharged, with no distribution on account thereof. Except to the extent included in the Rejected Executory Contract/Unexpired Lease List, each such contract, solely as amended pursuant to this Article V.G, shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor and, as applicable, may be assigned to NewCo (or one of the NewCo Subsidiaries). No counterparty or any other Person shall have or retain any Claim, Cause of Action or other right of recovery against the Debtors or any other Person, including without limitation NewCo or any Insurer, except for the Other Opioid Claims Reserve (if applicable), for or relating to any obligation or right described in this Article V.G, any Co-Defendant Claim or the amendment of any contract, or the severance and rejection of obligations and liabilities in connection therewith, described in this Article V.G. On the Effective Date, all Co- Defendant Claims arising under or related to any contract of the Debtors shall be released and discharged to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law with no consideration on account thereof, and all Proofs of Claim in respect thereof shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice, or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Person, and any Opioid Claims arising under or related to any contract of the Debtors will be treated in accordance with Article III of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, no Co-Defendant Claim or Opioid Claim will be assumed by the Reorganized Debtors or NewCo, elevated to administrative priority status or otherwise receive modified treatment as a result of the assumption or assumption and assignment of any contract pursuant to this Article V.G.

The Debtors shall provide notice to all known counterparties to any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease of this Article V.G. To the extent an objection is not timely filed and properly served on the Debtors with respect to any contract of the Debtors in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order, the counterparty to such contract and all other Persons shall be bound by and deemed to have assented to the amendment of such contract, the assumption or assumption and assignment of such amended contract and the severance and release of obligations, liabilities and Claims described in this Article V.G. Except to the extent that the Holder of a Co-Defendant Claim otherwise agrees or fails to object to such treatment, the assumption or rejection of a contract or lease with the Holder of a Co- Defendant Claim shall not operate as a release, waiver or discharge of any Co-Defendant Defensive Rights or Co- Defendant Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, if a counterparty to any contract timely files and properly serves an objection on the Debtors, (x) such objecting party will not be bound by this Article V.G., (y) any Cure Costs for such contract

 

100


(if applicable) will be payable only by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or NewCo (as applicable), and (z) any Claims for rejection damages (if applicable) relating to the Co- Defendant Claims arising thereunder will be either Other Opioid Claims or No Recovery Opioid Claims and treated in accordance with the Plan, and any other Claims for rejection damages (if applicable) will be General Unsecured Claims.

Employee Compensation and Benefits

 

  1.

Compensation and Benefits Programs

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs (other than awards of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other equity awards) shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. All Proofs of Claim Filed for amounts due under any Compensation and Benefits Program shall be considered satisfied by the applicable agreement and/or program and agreement to assume and cure in the ordinary course as provided in the Plan. All collective bargaining agreements to which any Debtor is a party, and all Compensation and Benefits Programs which are maintained pursuant to such collective bargaining agreements or to which contributions are made or benefits provided pursuant to a current or past collective bargaining agreement, will be deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Reorganized Debtors reserve all of their rights under such agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall honor all their obligations under section 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code.

None of the Restructuring, the Restructuring Transactions, or any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the terms herein shall be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, vesting, termination, acceleration or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

 

  2.

Workers’ Compensation Programs

As of the Effective Date, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under: (a) all applicable state workers’ compensation laws; and (b) the Workers’ Compensation Contracts. All Proofs of Claims filed by the Debtors’ current or former employees on account of workers’ compensation shall be deemed withdrawn automatically and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court based upon the treatment provided for herein; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to the Workers’ Compensation Contracts; provided , further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable non-bankruptcy law and/or the Workers’ Compensation Contracts.

Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Initial Distribution Date each Holder of an Allowed Claim other than an Opioid Claim shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. If and to the extent that any Disputed Claims exist, distributions on account of such Disputed Claims shall be made pursuant to Article VI.B and Article VII of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

 

D.

Delivery of Distributions

 

  1.

Record Date for Distributions

For purposes of making distributions on the Initial Distribution Date only, the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those Holders of Claims other than Opioid Claims reflected in the Debtors’ books and records as of the close of business on the Confirmation Date; provided, however, that such record date will not apply to any distributions related to the First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, or Guaranteed Unsecured Notes maintained through DTC, and the record date for Holders of Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims shall be the Effective Date. Subject to the foregoing sentence, if a

 

102


Claim other than an Opioid Claim is transferred (a) twenty-one (21) or more days before the Confirmation Date and reasonably satisfactory documentation evidencing such transfer is Filed with the Bankruptcy Court before the Confirmation Date, the Distribution Agent shall make the applicable distributions to the applicable transferee, or (b) twenty (20) or fewer days before the Confirmation Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form is Filed with the Bankruptcy Court before the Confirmation Date and contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

 

  2.

Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims other than Opioid Claims at the address for each such Holder as indicated in the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution, including the address set forth in any Proof of Claim Filed by that Holder or, with respect to Holders of Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims, the address recorded as of the Effective Date in the register maintained by the First Lien Agent, as applicable; provided that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors.

 

  3.

Distributions by Distribution Agents

The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have the authority to enter into agreements with one or more Distribution Agents to facilitate the distributions required hereunder. Except in the case of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, each serving as a Distribution Agent, to the extent the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, determine to utilize a Distribution Agent to facilitate the distributions under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims other than Opioid Claims, Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims, and Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims, any such Distribution Agent would first be required to: (a) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any documents; (b) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any recoveries or distributions required under the Plan; and (c) waive any right or ability to setoff, deduct from or assert any lien or encumbrance against the distributions required under the Plan to be distributed by such Distribution Agent; provided, that no Distribution Agent (including the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee) will be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

Subject to Section Article VI.D.4 below, distributions on account of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims will be made to or at the direction of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee or Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, as applicable, and such trustee will be, and will act as, the Distribution Agent with respect to the applicable Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable debt documents. Distributions on account of the Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims will be made to the First Lien Agent or the New Takeback Term Loan Agent, as applicable, and the First Lien Agent or the New Takeback Term Loan Agent (as applicable) will be, and will act as, the Distribution Agent with respect to the Allowed First Lien Term Loan Claims in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable debt documents.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay to the Distribution Agents all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Distribution Agents without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, or consents. The Distribution Agents shall submit detailed invoices to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, for all fees and expenses for which the Distribution Agent seeks reimbursement and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall promptly pay those amounts that they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable, and shall object in writing to those fees and expenses, if any, that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, deem to be unreasonable. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, object to all or any portion of the

 

103


amounts requested to be reimbursed in a Distribution Agent’s invoice, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and such Distribution Agent shall endeavor, in good faith, to reach mutual agreement on the amount of the appropriate payment of such disputed fees and/or expenses. In the event that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and a Distribution Agent are unable to resolve any differences regarding disputed fees or expenses, either party shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  4.

Distributions to Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims

The distributions of Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be made under this Plan to Holders of Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims shall be deemed made by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee which shall transmit (or cause to be transmitted) such distributions to such Holders as set forth below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, may transfer or facilitate the transfer of such distributions through the facilities of DTC in exchange for the relevant Guaranteed Unsecured Notes. If it is necessary to adopt alternate, additional or supplemental distribution procedures for any reason including because such distributions cannot be made through the facilities of DTC, to otherwise effectuate the distributions under this Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall implement the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall use their best efforts to make the Takeback Second Lien Notes and New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be distributed to Holders of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes eligible for distribution through the facilities of DTC.

The distributions of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be made under this plan to Holders of Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims as part of the General Unsecured Claims Distribution shall be deemed made by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, to the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee which shall transmit (or cause to be transmitted) such distributions to such Holders as set forth below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, may transfer or facilitate the transfer of such distributions through the facilities of DTC in exchange for the relevant Legacy Unsecured Notes. If it is necessary to adopt alternate, additional or supplemental distribution procedures for any reason including because such distributions cannot be made through the facilities of DTC, to otherwise effectuate the distributions under this Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall implement the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors (as applicable) shall use their best efforts to make the New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares to be distributed to Holders of the Legacy Unsecured Notes eligible for distribution through the facilities of DTC.

The obligations of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee under or in connection with this Plan, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indentures, the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indentures, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, the Legacy Unsecured Notes, and any related notes, stock, instruments, certificates, agreements, side letters, fee letters, and other documents, shall be discharged and deemed fully satisfied upon the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, each in its capacity as trustee shall be appointed and act as a Distribution Agent with respect to the applicable Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims to facilitate the distributions provided for in this Plan to the applicable Holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims. The obligations of each of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Trustee, in its capacity as Distribution Agent, under or in connection with this Plan shall be discharged and deemed fully satisfied upon either: (i) DTC’s receipt of the distributions with respect to the Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes

 

104


Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims; or (ii) if the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process is utilized, upon the earlier of the completion of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee’s or Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee’s role in such process or in accordance with the terms of the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process and, in either case, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee shall not, in any capacity, have liability to any person for having made, or facilitating the making of, the distributions through the foregoing items (i) and (ii). The Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, each as a Distribution Agent under this Plan will be entitled to recognize and deal with for all purposes the Holders of the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes or Legacy Unsecured Notes to the extent necessary to facilitate the distributions with respect to Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims to such Holders. Regardless of which capacity it is acting, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee or the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee in any capacity shall not be responsible for, and may conclusively rely on, the Alternate/Supplemental Distribution Process.

Notwithstanding any policies, practices or procedures of DTC or any other applicable clearing system, DTC and all other applicable clearing systems shall cooperate with and take all actions reasonably requested by the Notice and Claims Agent, the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee, or the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee to facilitate distributions to Holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims and Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims without requiring that such distributions be characterized as repayments of principal or interest. No Distribution Agent, including the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Legacy Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee in any capacity, shall be required to provide indemnification or other security to DTC in connection with any distributions to Holders of Allowed Guaranteed Unsecured Notes Claims or Allowed Legacy Unsecured Notes Claims through the facilities of DTC.

 

  5.

Minimum Distributions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than on account of Unimpaired Claims, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agents shall not be required to make distributions or payments of less than $100 (whether Cash or otherwise) and shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars or distributions of fractions of a New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Share. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar or a fraction of a New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Share would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding down of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar or nearest whole New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Share.

 

  6.

Undeliverable Distributions

 

  a.

Holding of Certain Undeliverable Distributions

Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to Article VI.D.5.b of the Plan, until such time as any such distributions become deliverable or are otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law. Undeliverable distributions shall not be entitled to any additional interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind on account of their distribution being undeliverable. Nothing contained herein shall require the Reorganized Debtors to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

 

  b.

Failure to Present Checks

Checks issued by the Reorganized Debtors (or their Distribution Agent) on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 90 days after the issuance of such check. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Distribution Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued.

 

105


E.

Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary (except for the Consent Rights of Supporting Parties in Article I.C), the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, including requiring as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, that the Holders of an Allowed Claim complete an IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.

 

F.

Applicability of Insurance Contracts Other than Opioid Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, payments to Holders of Claims covered by Insurance Contracts other than Opioid Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Contract. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including Insurers under any Insurance Contracts other than Opioid Insurance Policies, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such Insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers under the Insurance Contracts other than Opioid Insurance Policies and/or applicable non- bankruptcy law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article VI.F shall not apply to Opioid Insurance Policies.

 

G.

Distributions on Account of Opioid Claims

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Articles VI.A through VI.F (except as set forth in the last sentence of Article VI.E) shall not apply to any Opioid Claims, and all distributions to Holders of Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) shall be made by and from the Opioid MDT II and the Opioid Creditor Trusts in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable.

 

H.

Allocation of Distributions Between Principal and Interest

Except with respect to the 2024 First Lien Term Loan Claims and the 2025 First Lien Term Loan Claims and as otherwise required by law (as reasonably determined by the Reorganized Debtors), distributions with respect to an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the principal portion of such Allowed Claim (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) and, thereafter, to the remaining portion of such Allowed Claim, if any.

 

I.

Postpetition Interest on Claims

Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, postpetition interest shall accrue and be paid on the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims, the First Lien Term Loan Claims, the First Lien Notes Claims, and the Second Lien Notes Claims as set forth in the Plan. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan (including the preceding sentence and Article II.B.2 of the Plan), the Confirmation Order, the Cash Collateral Order, or Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or required by applicable bankruptcy law (including, without limitation, as required pursuant to section 506(b) or section 511 of the Bankruptcy Code), postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on any other Claims and no Holder of any other Claims shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim.

 

106


Article VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,

UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

 

A.

Allowance and Disallowance of Claims Other than Opioid Claims

After the Effective Date, and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall have and shall retain any and all available rights and defenses that the Debtors had with respect to any Claim other than Opioid Claims and any other Claims Allowed under this Plan (including the First Lien Term Loan Claims), including the right to assert any objection to Claims based on the limitations imposed by section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors may, but are not required to, contest the amount and validity of any Disputed Claim other than Opioid Claims or contingent or unliquidated Claim other than Opioid Claims in the ordinary course of business in the manner and venue in which such Claim would have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

 

B.

Prosecution of Objections to Claims other than Opioid Claims

After the Confirmation Date but before the Effective Date, the Debtors, and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the authority to File objections to Claims (other than Claims that are Allowed under this Plan or Opioid Claims) and settle, compromise, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to any and all such Claims, regardless of whether such Claims are in an Unimpaired Class or otherwise; provided, however, this provision shall not apply to Professional Fee Claims, which may be objected to by any party-in-interest in these Chapter 11 Cases. From and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim other than Opioid Claims without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the sole authority to administer and adjust the Claims Register and their respective books and records to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

C.

Estimation of Claims and Interests other than Opioid Claims

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim other than any Opioid Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection; and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection; provided that if the Bankruptcy Court resolves the Allowed amount of a Claim, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall not be permitted to seek an estimation of such Claim. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim subject to applicable law.

 

107


D.

No Distributions Pending Allowance

If any portion of a Claim other than an Opioid Claim is Disputed, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

E.

Time to File Objections to Administrative Claims

Any objections to Administrative Claims shall be Filed on or before the Administrative Claims Objection Deadline, subject to any extensions thereof approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

F.

Procedures Regarding Opioid Claims

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Articles VII.A through VII.E shall not apply to any Opioid Claims, and all procedures for resolving contingent, unliquidated, and disputed Opioid Claims (including Opioid Demands) shall be governed by the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable.

 

G.

No Filing of Proofs of Claim for Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims shall not be required to File a Proof of Claim or a request for payment of an Administrative Claim on account of such Holder’s Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims, and no such Holders should File such a Proof of Claim or such request for payment; provided, however, that a Holder of an Opioid Claim or VI Opioid Claim that wishes to assert Claims against the Debtors that are not Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims must File a Proof of Claim or a request for payment of an Administrative Claim with respect to such Claims which are not Opioid Claims or VI Opioid Claims on or before the applicable Claims Bar Date. The Opioid MDT II and Opioid Creditor Trusts will make distributions on account of Opioid Claims in accordance with the Opioid MDT II Documents and Opioid Creditor Trust Documents, as applicable. Within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall File a report identifying all Proofs of Claim that are reasonably determined by the Debtors, in consultation with the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, the MSGE Group, the Future Claimants Representative, and the Opioid MDT II Trustee(s), to be on account of any Opioid Claim, and upon the Filing of such report and notice to the Holders of such Proofs of Claim who shall have 14 days to object to such determination, all identified Proofs of Claim shall be deemed withdrawn and removed from the applicable claims register; provided that Proofs of Claim on account of Opioid Claims filed after the Effective Date shall automatically be deemed withdrawn and expunged; provided, further, that upon a motion and hearing with notice to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, the MSGE Group, the Future Claimants Representative, the Opioid MDT II Trustee(s), and, solely in the case of clause (b) below, the Holders of affected Proofs of Claim, the Debtors (a) may seek an extension to the deadline to File such report from the Bankruptcy Court and (b) may seek determination by the Bankruptcy Court that any Proof of Claim is on account of any Opioid Claim.

 

H.

Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve

1. On or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the right, but are not required, to establish a Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve in Cash from the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool and the Trade Claim Cash Pool Unallocated Amount. Such Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve may also include New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares issuable from the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool that will be issued by the Reorganized Debtors if and when needed for distributions from the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Governance Documents shall ensure that the Reorganized Debtors are able to issue the number of New Mallinckrodt Ordinary Shares needed to satisfy obligations of the General Unsecured Claims Recovery Pool. The Debtors reserve the right to estimate the value of Disputed General Unsecured Claims in the Bankruptcy Court for distribution purposes and to reduce the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve in a manner consistent with any such estimation.

 

108


2. Subject to definitive guidance from the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors shall treat the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve as a “disputed ownership fund” governed by Treasury Regulation section 1.468B-9 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, report consistently with the foregoing for state and local income tax purposes. All parties (including, to the extent applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and Holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims) shall be required to report for tax purposes consistently with the foregoing.

3. The Reorganized Debtors shall hold in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve all distributions to be made on account of (a) Disputed General Unsecured Claims and (b) Disputed Trade Claims whose Holders (i) vote to reject the Plan or (ii) do not agree to maintain Favorable Trade Terms in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Disclosure Statement Order, for the benefit of all Holders Claims entitled to receive a General Unsecured Claims Distribution. All taxes imposed on the assets or income of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve shall be payable by the Reorganized Debtors from the assets of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve.

4. In the event assets in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve are insufficient to satisfy all of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims that have become Allowed, such Allowed Claims shall be satisfied pro rata from such remaining assets in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve. After all assets have been distributed from the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve, no further distributions shall be made in respect of Disputed General Unsecured Claims. At such time as all Disputed General Unsecured Claims have been resolved, any remaining assets in the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve shall be distributed pro rata to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims.

5. The Reorganized Debtors may request an expedited determination of taxes under section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for all returns filed for or on behalf of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims Reserve for all taxable periods through the date on which final distributions are made.

 

I.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of this release by Opioid Claimants, which includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained herein, and, further, shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that this release is: (1) essential to the confirmation of the Plan; (2) given in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Protected Parties; (3) a good- faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by Article IX.D of the Plan; (4) in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and all Opioid Claimants; (5) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (6) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (7) a bar to any Opioid Claimant asserting any Claim or Cause of Action released pursuant to Article IX.D of the Plan.

For the avoidance of doubt, Claims or Causes of Action arising out of, or related to, any act or omission of a Protected Party prior to the Effective Date that is determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, including findings after the Effective Date, are not released pursuant to article IX.D of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases by the Opioid Claimants set forth above do not release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the Plan, any restructuring, any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan, or any Claims which are reinstated pursuant to the Plan.

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.

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.

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.

Annex 3

Term Sheet for Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Management Incentive Plan

The following term sheet summarizes the principal terms of a management incentive plan (the “MIP”) that certain creditors receiving equity securities (the “Investors”) of New Mallinckrodt (the “Company” and together with its controlled subsidiaries, the “Company Group”) will adopt effective upon emergence (the “Closing”).

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.

 

 

1 

Plan Reserve subject to adjustment in connection with share split, reverse share split, share dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities or similar corporate transaction or event.


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.

THIS TERM SHEET IS NOT AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OR A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OF A CHAPTER 11 PLAN WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. ANY SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND/OR PROVISIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS TERM SHEET SHALL BE AN ADMISSION OF FACT OR LIABILITY OR, UNTIL THE OCCURRENCE OF THE AGREEMENT EFFECTIVE DATE UNDER THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT AGREEMENT, DEEMED BINDING ON ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

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

 

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 Assigned Insurance Rights.

 

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;

 

 

4


  

•  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

 

•  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

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.

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.

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.

 

  6.

Unless justifiable cause exists, the Monitor appointed by the Bankruptcy Court shall continue to serve after the Effective Date. For purposes of this paragraph, justifiable cause exists if the Monitor resigns or a court finds that the Monitor: (a) develops a conflict of interest that would undermine public confidence in the objectivity of his or her work; (b) has unreasonably failed to fulfill his or her material obligations under this Agreement or pursuant to the Work Plan (as defined in Section VI.B3), (c) has engaged in any act of dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement, intentional fraud, or similar conduct; or (d) has engaged in an intentional act of bias or prejudice in favor or against either party. 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.

 

  7.

If a new Monitor must be appointed, Mallinckrodt and the Settling States shall follow the procedures and timeline set out above in subparagraphs 3-5. Court approval shall not be sought if Mallinckrodt is no longer under the Bankruptcy Court’s jurisdiction.

 

B.

Monitor’s Responsibilities

 

  1.

Between the Petition Date and the Effective Date, the Monitor’s duties shall be as follows:

 

  a.

The Monitor shall perform its duties according to the terms of this Agreement and shall be vested all rights and powers reasonably necessary to carry out such powers, duties, and responsibilities enumerated herein.

 

  b.

The Monitor shall work with all diligence perform his or her duties in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt the operation of Mallinckrodt’s business to confirm and oversee compliance with this Agreement.

 

  c.

The Monitor shall review and provide reports as outlined below.

 

22


  d.

Subject to any legally recognized privilege and as reasonably necessary to perform his or her duties hereunder, the Monitor shall have full and complete access to Mallinckrodt’s personnel, books, records, and facilities, and to any other relevant information, as the Monitor may request. Mallinckrodt shall develop such information as the Monitor may request and shall fully, completely and promptly cooperate with the Monitor. The Monitor may raise with the Bankruptcy Court any issues relating to any failure of or delay in such cooperation for an expedited resolution by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  e.

The Monitor shall serve, without bond or other security, at the cost and expense of Mallinckrodt, with the Monitor’s fees subject to final approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The Monitor shall have the authority to employ, upon written consent from Mallinckrodt, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and upon Court approval, at the cost and expense of the Debtors’ estates, such consultants, accountants, attorneys, and other representatives and assistants as are reasonably necessary to carry out the Monitor’s responsibilities. Requests to employ such individuals should be directed to Mallinckrodt’s General Counsel, and will be decided upon no later than ten (10) days from their receipt. The Monitor will work in good faith with Mallinckrodt to ensure such approved consultants will follow Mallinckrodt’s policies and procedures with respect to any payments remitted directly by Mallinckrodt.

 

  f.

The Monitor shall have no obligation, responsibility, or liability for the operations of Mallinckrodt.

 

  g.

The Monitor shall sign onto any Protective Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court, and any confidentiality agreement consistent with any Protective Order as deemed necessary by the parties, and each of the Monitor’s consultants, accountants, attorneys and other representatives and assistants shall also sign onto any Protective Order entered by the Court, and any confidentiality agreement consistent with any Protective Order as deemed necessary by the parties; provided, however, that nothing shall restrict the Monitor from providing any information to the Court and the parties consistent with the terms of any Protective Order.

 

  h.

The Monitor shall promptly seek an order from the Bankruptcy Court requiring compliance or such other remedies as may be appropriate under the circumstances should Mallinckrodt not comply with this Agreement.

 

  i.

The Monitor shall make a good faith effort to leverage Mallinckrodt’s existing compliance mechanisms when reviewing Mallinckrodt’s compliance with this Agreement.

 

  j.

The Monitor shall make a good faith effort to perform his or her duties in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt Mallinckrodt’s business operations. In this regard, Mallinckrodt shall designate senior officials within the Office of the General Counsel to serve as the primary points of

 

23


  contact for the Monitor in order to facilitate the Monitor’s access to documents, materials, or staff necessary to review Mallinckrodt’s compliance with this Agreement. The Monitor shall communicate any request for documents, materials, or access to staff to the designated contacts, unless otherwise instructed. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to prohibit the Monitor from speaking with a current or former employee of Mallinckrodt.

 

  2.

Reporting:

 

  a.

Within 45 days of the Petition Date, Mallinckrodt shall file a report with the Bankruptcy Court regarding its compliance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Mallinckrodt Compliance Report”). To the extent permissible by law, this report (in whole or in part) may be filed under seal or subject to such other confidentiality restrictions contained in a Protective Order.

 

  b.

The Monitor must file a report with the Bankruptcy Court regarding compliance by Mallinckrodt with the terms of this Agreement no later than 45 days after the Work Plan (as defined in Section VI.B.3) is finalized, and then additional reports every 90 days thereafter (the “Monitor Reports”). The Court may, in response to such reports, provide further direction to the Monitor as it deems appropriate. To the extent permissible by law, these reports (in whole or in part) may be filed under seal or subject to such other confidentiality restrictions contained in a Protective Order. The content of Monitor Reports shall be set forth in the Work Plan. The frequency of Monitor Reports may decrease to every 180 days after the Effective Date.

 

  c.

Prior to issuing any Monitor Report, the Monitor shall confer with Mallinckrodt regarding its preliminary findings and the reasons for those findings. Mallinckrodt shall have the right to submit written comments to the Monitor, which shall be appended to the final version of the Monitor Report.

 

  d.

In the event the Monitor Report identifies a potential violation of this Agreement, Mallinckrodt shall have the right to cure any potential violation within 30 days.

 

  3.

Work Plan: The manner in which the Monitor will carry out his or her compliance responsibilities under this Agreement, the general scope of information that the Monitor will seek to review in fulfilling his or her duties and, where applicable, the methodologies to be utilized shall be set forth in a work plan (the “Work Plan”). Within 30 days after the Monitor’s appointment by the Bankruptcy Court, the Settling States and Mallinckrodt shall agree with the Monitor on the Work Plan. If the Monitor, the Settling States, and Mallinckrodt fail to reach agreement on the Work Plan within the designated time frame, the Monitor, Settling States, and Mallinckrodt will submit any disputed issues to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution.

 

24


  4.

Post-Emergence: Before the Effective Date, the parties will work in good faith to establish procedures for resolving disputes (including disputes over the Work Plan) and overseeing the Monitor’s obligations after Bankruptcy Court approval of the Plan, and to make any other adjustments the parties agree to be reasonably necessary. The parties expect and agree that the principal obligations and conditions imposed by Section VI.B will otherwise remain in effect. After the Effective Date, all reasonable and necessary fees and costs of the Monitor shall be paid by Mallinckrodt.

Joinder Agreement

The undersigned counsel (“Counsel”) to the Multi-State Governmental Entities Group (the “MSGE Group”) representing the interests of the entities listed on the Verified Statement of the Multi-State Governmental Entities Group Pursuant to Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure [Docket No. 337] (the “MSGE Signatories”) hereby (a) acknowledges that it has reviewed and understands the Restructuring Support Agreement (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Agreement”)1 dated as of October 11, 2020 by and among (i) Mallinckrodt plc and each of its subsidiaries listed on Annex 1 to the Agreement, (ii) the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, and (iii) the Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants; and (b) acknowledges that the MSGE Signatories shall have the rights, and undertake the obligations, as the Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein) and that such rights and obligations shall be exercised by the MSGE Signatories through the MSGE Group over the matters set forth in the Agreement for which the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee has consent rights or obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the MSGE Signatories acknowledge that their rights and obligations as Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants are solely with respect to themselves and no other Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants and the MSGE Group’s rights and obligations are solely with respect to the MSGE Signatories.

In addition to the foregoing, the undersigned counsel to the MSGE Group or the MSGE Signatories agrees as follows as of the date of each of their respective execution of this Joinder Agreement:

 

  1.

Restructuring Support: The MSGE Signatories shall be subject to the support and other obligations set forth in Section 4(a) of the Agreement as Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants. In addition, Counsel agrees to recommend that the members of the MSGE Group that do not become MSGE Signatories to this Joinder Agreement take the actions contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) of Section 4(a) of the Agreement.

 

  2.

Breaches by the MSGE Group: The Company shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement as to all of the MSGE Signatories in the event that any of the MSGE Signatories breach, in any material respect, any of the representations, warranties, or covenants given under the Agreement, and such breach remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the MSGE Group from the Company of written notice of such breach, which written notice will set forth in reasonable detail the alleged breach; provided, that any such termination by the Company shall result in the termination of the Agreement solely as to the MSGE Signatories and shall not give rise to a termination right to any other Supporting Party.

 

 

 

1 

Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.


  3.

Termination of the Agreement by the MSGE Group: The sole remedy of the MSGE Signatories for any breach by the Supporting Parties of the Agreement shall be termination of this Joinder Agreement by notice in accordance with the Agreement delivered by the MSGE Group with such notice terminating the Agreement as to all MSGE Signatories. If the MSGE Group terminates this Joinder Agreement, such termination shall not result in a termination of the Agreement as to the other Supporting Parties (other than the MSGE Signatories) and shall not give rise to a termination right under Section 6(a)(xix) for any such Supporting Parties or for the Company under Section 6(b)(iv). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this Joinder Agreement, the MSGE Group only has the power to terminate the Agreement as to Supporting Governmental Opioid Claimants that are MSGE Signatories.

 

  4.

Milestones:

 

  a.

To the extent that the Company takes any action with respect to a Milestone without the consent of the MSGE Group, the sole remedy afforded to the MSGE Signatories shall be termination of this Joinder Agreement by the MSGE Group.

 

  b.

Counsel agrees to use best efforts to obtain the executed signature pages of the members of the MSGE Group to be appended hereto within two (2) months from the date of execution of this Joinder Agreement, which may be extended with the consent of the Company, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders (each of whom are intended third-party beneficiaries hereunder). Failure to satisfy the obligation in this paragraph shall result in a breach of this Joinder Agreement as set forth in Section 2 above.

b. The foregoing consent and approval rights in subsection (a) shall not limit, modify or otherwise affect the existing consent and approval rights of the other Supporting Parties under the Agreement, including with respect to Definitive Documents.

3. Breaches by the Supporting Term Lenders: The Company shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement as to all of the Supporting Term Lenders upon the breach in any material respect by the Supporting Term Lenders that would result in non-breaching Supporting Term Lenders and any other Supporting Parties holding less than 66.7% in outstanding principal amount of either the (i) First Lien Term Loan Claims maturing in 2024 or (ii) First Lien Term Loan Claims maturing in 2025, in each case with respect to any of the representations, warranties, or covenants of such Supporting Term Lenders set forth in the Agreement and which breach remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery by the Company to the applicable Supporting Term Lenders of written notice of such breach, which written notice will set forth in reasonable detail the alleged breach; provided that any such termination by the Company pursuant to the Agreement or this Joinder Agreement shall result in the termination of this Agreement solely as to the Supporting Term Lenders and shall not give rise to a termination right to any other Supporting Party; and provided, further, that, the Company may, at its option, terminate this Agreement solely as to any Supporting Term Lender that breaches, in any material respect, its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Agreement (to the extent such breach remains uncured for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery by the Company to the applicable Supporting Term Lender of written notice of such breach, which written notice

 

4


will set forth in reasonable detail the alleged breach), whether or not such breach would entitle the Company to terminate the Agreement with respect to all Supporting Term Lenders in accordance with this Section 3; provided, further, that if the Agreement or this Joinder Agreement is terminated by the Company solely as to the Supporting Term Lenders, then the amendments (a) to the Agreement in Articles II.A.1, II.A.2, II.A.3 (solely as to the definition of “Required Supporting Term Lenders”), II.B (solely as to the Supporting Term Lenders), and II.D, below and (b) to the Term Sheet (other than the addition of the condition precedent related to payment of the Transaction Fees), in each case, shall be null and void.

4. Termination of the Joinder Agreement by the Supporting Term Lenders:

a. The sole remedy of the Supporting Term Lenders for any breach by the Supporting Parties or the Company of the Restructuring Support Sections of the Agreement or this Joinder Agreement, including the DOJ/Opioid Settlement Cash Consent Right (as defined in the First Lien Settlement Term Sheet), shall be termination of this Joinder Agreement by written notice in accordance with the Agreement delivered by Supporting Term Lenders holding two-thirds in outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans then party to the Joinder Agreement with such notice terminating the Agreement and Joinder Agreement as to all Supporting Term Lenders. If the Supporting Term Lenders terminate this Joinder Agreement, such termination shall not result in a termination of the Agreement or this Joinder Agreement as to the other Supporting Parties (other than the Supporting Term Lenders) and shall not give rise to a termination right under Section 6(a)(xix) for any such Supporting Parties or for the Company under Section 6(b)(iv); provided, that if this Joinder Agreement is terminated by Supporting Term Lenders then the amendments (a) to the Agreement in Articles II.A.1, II.A.2, II.A.3 (solely as to the definition of “Required Supporting Term Lenders”), II.B (solely as to the Supporting Term Lenders), and II.D, below and (b) to the Term Sheet (other than the addition of the condition precedent related to payment of the Transaction Fees), in each case, shall be null and void.

b. Upon ten (10) days’ notice, any individual Supporting Term Lender may terminate this Joinder Agreement, as to itself only, by the delivery to counsel to the Company and the other Supporting Parties of a written notice in accordance with Section 7 hereof, in the event that (i) any waiver, modification, amendment or supplement of this Joinder Agreement or the Agreement materially disproportionately and materially adversely affects the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the Specified Claims and Interests of such Supporting Term Lender relative to (x), in the case of Specified Claims and Interests comprising First Lien Term Loan Claims, the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the First Lien Term Loan Claims of the other Supporting Term Lenders, or (y), in the case of Specified Claims and Interests comprising Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, relative to the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the Claims based on the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes of the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, in each case, without such Supporting Term Lender’s consent or (ii) any Definitive Document is filed with the Bankruptcy Court or later amended in such a way that materially disproportionately and materially adversely affects (x), in the case of Specified Claims and Interests comprising First Lien Term Loan Claims, the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the First Lien Term Loan Claims of such Supporting Term Lender relative to the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the First Lien Term Loan Claims of the other Supporting Term Lenders, or (y), in the case of Specified Claims and Interests comprising Guaranteed Unsecured Notes, the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the

 

5


Claims based on the Guaranteed Unsecured Notes of such Supporting Term Lender relative to the economic rights, recoveries, or treatment applicable to the Claims based on the Guaranteed Note Claims of the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, in each case, without such Supporting Term Lender’s consent (each such event, an “Individual Supporting Term Lender Termination Event”); provided, that, such Supporting Term Lender shall not object to the Company’s efforts to seek an expedited hearing to adjudicate whether an Individual Supporting Term Lender Termination Event has occurred.

5. Amendments and Waivers:

a. During the Support Period, this Joinder Agreement and, to the extent that the Supporting Term Lenders have the rights and are subject to the support and other obligations of Supporting Parties and Supporting Unsecured Noteholders of the relevant provision pursuant to Article I.B.1 hereof, the Agreement, including any exhibits or schedules hereto, may not be waived, modified, amended, or supplemented except in a writing signed by the Required Supporting Term Lenders; provided, that: (a) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to Section 4(f)(v), Section 6(e), Section 6(f), Section 6(g), Section 7(a), Section 8(b), Section 17, Section 21, or Section 22 of the Agreement, or Article I.B.4(b) or Article I.B.8 of this Joinder Agreement, or the definition of “Specified Claims and Interests” shall require the prior written consent of each Supporting Term Lender; (b) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to the definitions of “Required Supporting Term Lenders” shall require the prior written consent of each Supporting Term Lender; (c) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement of the Opioid Settlement or the CMS/DOJ/States Settlement shall comply with the monetary and payment frequency limitations set forth in the section entitled “DOJ/Opioid Settlement Cash Consent Right” in the First Lien Settlement Term Sheet (unless Required Supporting Term Lenders shall otherwise consent); and (d) any Definitive Document or any waiver, modification, amendment or supplement of this Joinder Agreement, the Agreement, or any Definitive Document, in each case, that requires any Supporting Term Lender to make any investment of new capital, including in any Mallinckrodt entity, may not be made without the prior written consent of such Supporting Term Lender; provided that, to the extent that the Company waives, modifies, amends, or supplements the Agreement (other than for the items expressly set forth or contemplated in the First Lien Settlement Term Sheet, including any such items as implemented or governed by any Definitive Document, including, without limitation, the Plan, Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, and the New Term Loan Documentation), including any exhibits or schedules hereto, without the consent of the Required Supporting Term Lenders, the sole remedy afforded to the Supporting Term Lenders shall be termination of this Joinder Agreement as to the Supporting Term Lenders by the Required Supporting Term Lenders.

Term Sheet for Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Management Incentive Plan

The following term sheet summarizes the principal terms of a management incentive plan (the “MIP”) that certain creditors receiving equity securities (the “Investors”) of New Mallinckrodt (the “Company” and together with its controlled subsidiaries, the “Company Group”) will adopt effective upon emergence (the “Closing”).

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.

Plan Reserve subject to adjustment in connection with share split, reverse share split, share dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities or similar corporate transaction or event.


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


   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”);11 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

 

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.


  

•  the Assigned Insurance Rights.

   The cash payments described above include amounts to be determined by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group 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 and the MSGE Group 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, the New First Lien Term Loans 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, the New First Lien Term Loans 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   

TheOpioid 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.


   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 and the MSGE Group, 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.
Opioid Trust Documents    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. 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 (i) to be acceptable to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders and (ii), to the extent practicable, delivered to the advisors to the Ad Hoc First Lien Term Lender Group prior to being filed with the Bankruptcy Court.
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, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, and the MSGE Group;

 

•  provide for a registration rights agreement satisfactory to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE


  

Group 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

 

•  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, and the MSGE Group) 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, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, and the MSGE Group, and reasonably acceptable to the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders.

The Debtors will implement the terms set forth herein through the New Term Loan Documentation and the Plan (to the extent necessary to implement this First Lien Settlement Term Sheet), which shall be consistent with the terms of this First Lien Settlement Term Sheet, the RSA and the exhibits and schedules annexed thereto; provided, that, to the extent that this First Lien Settlement Term Sheet conflicts with any other exhibit to the RSA, including the Restructuring Term Sheet, this First Lien Settlement Term Sheet shall govern.

Treatment of First Lien Credit Agreement Claims (Term Loans)    Holders of allowed First Lien Credit Agreement Claims in respect of term loans (the “First Lien Term Loan Claims”) shall receive, on the Plan Effective Date, in full and final satisfaction of such claims, at the Debtors’ option, either (i) (A) the New First Lien Term Loans plus (B) the 2020 ECF Payment to the extent not paid prior to the Plan Effective Date plus (C) payment in full in Cash of Accrued and Unpaid Interest to the Plan Effective Date plus (D) the Term Loan Exit Payment (collectively, the “New First Lien Term Loan Treatment”) or (ii) repayment of such Claims in full in cash in an amount equal to (A) the Outstanding Amount plus (B) the 2020 ECF Payment to the extent not paid prior to the Plan Effective Date plus (C) Accrued and Unpaid Interest plus (D) the Term Loan Exit Payment (collectively, such repayments, “Payment in Full of First Lien Term Loan Claims”).

Principal Payments” means any quarterly amortization payments, excess cash flow sweep payments and other express payments of principal (including the 2020 ECF Payment).

First Lien Term Loan Claims maturing in 2024 and First Lien Term Loan Claims maturing in 2025 shall be separately classified from one another and from all other Claims and Interests treated under the Plan, and each such class shall be deemed impaired and entitled to vote on the Plan.

TERMS OF NEW FIRST LIEN TERM LOANS

The Debtors shall request that such increased rate take effect upon the filing of the motion seeking entry of the CCO Modification Order and shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, apply retroactively to any earlier date or apply to any First Lien Credit Agreement Claims other than First Lien Term Loan Claims; provided, that, the Supporting Term Lenders shall not have any right to terminate the Joinder Agreement or the RSA based solely on the Bankruptcy Court declining to apply such increased rate retroactively to the date on which the motion seeking entry of the CCO Modification Order is filed. The Debtors shall file the motion seeking entry of the CCO Modification Order by no later than six (6) Business Days after the execution of the Joinder Agreement and such motion and the CCO Modification Order (subject to the NPT Exception) shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Supporting Term Lenders.1

Opioid Settlement Term Sheet


Execution Version

THIS TERM SHEET IS NOT AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OR A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OF A CHAPTER 11 PLAN WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. ANY SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND/OR PROVISIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS TERM SHEET SHALL BE AN ADMISSION OF FACT OR LIABILITY OR, UNTIL THE OCCURRENCE OF THE AGREEMENT EFFECTIVE DATE UNDER THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT AGREEMENT, DEEMED BINDING ON ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO.

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.

 

1


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 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

 

 

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.

 

3


  

•  the Assigned Insurance Rights.

 

The cash payments described above include amounts to be determined by the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group 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 and the MSGE Group 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, the New First Lien Term Loans 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, the New First Lien Term Loans 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.

 

4


   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 and the MSGE Group, 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 (i) to be acceptable to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group and reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders and (ii), to the extent practicable, delivered to the advisors to the Ad Hoc First Lien Term Lender Group prior to being filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

 

5


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, and the MSGE Group;

 

•  provide for a registration rights agreement satisfactory to the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee and the MSGE Group 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

 

•  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.

 

6


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, and the MSGE Group) 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 the MSGE Group, and reasonably acceptable to the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders.

 

7


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 and the MSGE Group Counsel 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 and the MSGE Group Counsel. 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 and the MSGE Group Counsel 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, the MSGE Group, 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.

 

Any request by the Opioid Trust or, the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee, or the MSGE Group for cooperation by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors shall be on reasonable advance notice, and provided during normal business hours and otherwise in a manner that does not disrupt commercial operations.

•  the Opioid Trust shall be authorized to conduct Rule 2004 examinations, to the fullest extent permitted thereunder, to investigate the Assigned Third-Party Claims and Assigned Insurance Rights, without the requirement of filing a motion for such authorization; provided, however, that no such Rule 2004 examinations shall be taken of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any of their respective then-current employees, officers, directors or representatives, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court after notice and an opportunity to object and be heard;

Exhibit D

Financial Projections


A. Introduction

The Debtors 1have prepared the Projections (as defined below) to assist the Bankruptcy Court in determining whether the Plan meets the “feasibility” requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors believe that the Plan meets such requirements. In connection with the negotiation and development of the Plan and for the purpose of determining whether the Plan meets the feasibility standard outlined in the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors analyzed their ability to satisfy their financial obligations while maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital resources during the Projection Period (as defined below). With this consideration in mind, the Debtors’ management and their financial advisor prepared these consolidated financial projections (the “Projections”) based on the Company’s business plan as presented in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2021 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 through the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025 (the “Projection Period”). The Projections have been prepared on a consolidated basis, consistent with the Company’s financial reporting practices, and include all Debtor and non-Debtor entities (hereafter defined as the “Company”).

The Debtors do not, as a matter of course, publish their projections, strategies, or forward-looking projections of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Accordingly, the Debtors do not anticipate that they will, and disclaim any obligation to, furnish updated projections to the holders of Claims or equity interests after the date of this Disclosure Statement, or to include such information in documents required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or to otherwise make such information public. The assumptions disclosed herein are those that the Debtors believe to be significant to the Projections and are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Projections present, to the best of the Debtors’ knowledge and belief, the Reorganized Debtors’ projected balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows for the Projection Period and reflect the Debtors’ assumptions and judgments of the projections based on an assumed and estimated emergence date of September 24, 2021 (the “Emergence Date”). The impact of the restructuring transaction and the recapitalization of the Company’s capital structure is shown on the Company’s balance sheet, as of September 24, 2021, the Company’s fiscal quarter end.

Although the Debtors believe these assumptions are reasonable under current circumstances, such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, including but not limited to, material changes to the economic environment, pricing pressure on certain products due to potential legislative changes, potential legal challenges, changes in health insurers’ and governmental health administration authorities’ reimbursement practices, changes in the competitive environment, pipeline drug developments, the ongoing and evolving impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic along with the eventual recovery from same, and other factors affecting the Company’s businesses. The likelihood, and related financial impact, of a change in any of these factors cannot be predicted with certainty. Consequently, actual financial results could differ materially from the Projections. The Projections assume the Plan will be implemented in accordance with its stated terms. The Projections should be read in conjunction with the assumptions and qualifications contained herein. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in either the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, as applicable.

THE PROJECTIONS WERE NOT PREPARED WITH A VIEW TOWARD COMPLIANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“GAAP”) IN THE UNITED STATES. FURTHERMORE, THE PROJECTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN AUDITED OR REVIEWED BY A REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

THE PROJECTIONS, WHILE PRESENTED WITH NUMERICAL SPECIFICITY, ARE BASED UPON A VARIETY OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS WHICH MAY NOT BE REALIZED AND ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS, ECONOMIC AND COMPETITIVE UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE DEBTORS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE PROJECTIONS SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY THE DEBTORS, OR ANY OTHER PERSON, AS TO THE ACCURACY OR PRECISION OF THE PROJECTIONS OR THAT THE PROJECTIONS WILL BE REALIZED. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE PRESENTED IN THE PROJECTIONS. HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS MUST MAKE THEIR OWN ASSESSMENT AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF SUCH ASSUMPTIONS AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE PROJECTIONS IN MAKING THEIR DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

B. Summary of Significant Assumptions

The Projections were developed by the Company’s management using detailed assumptions for net sales and costs, which were developed using a combination of both “bottoms-up” and “top-down” estimation techniques for each of the Company’s two major business units, Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics. The Company considered several factors in developing the Projections, including but not limited to:

 

  (i)

Current and projected market conditions in each of the Company’s respective products or product categories, geographic markets, and business segments

 

  (ii)

Capital expenditure and research and development levels to support growth assumptions

 

  (iii)

A de-levered capital structure with interest rates consistent with the current market

 

  (iv)

Working capital levels based on net sales projections, historical trends, and pipeline product launch assumptions

 

  (v)

No anticipated material acquisitions or divestitures

 

  (vi)

Inclusion of all Debtor and non-Debtor entities

 

  (vii)

The Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 on the Emergence Date

The Projections have been presented using accounting policies consistent with those applied in the Company’s historical financial statements and includes certain reorganization adjustments and simplified fresh-start accounting adjustments. The Projections do not reflect all the adjustments necessary to implement fresh-start accounting on the Emergence Date pursuant to ASC 852-10, including but not limited to detailed asset valuations and reassessment of the useful lives of depreciable and amortizable assets.

C. The Debtors’ Business Operations

The Company is a global business consisting of multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries that develop, manufacture, market, and distribute specialty pharmaceutical products and therapies, and operates in two reportable segments: Specialty Brands, which includes innovative specialty pharmaceutical brands, and Specialty Generics, which includes niche specialty generic drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”). For the fiscal year ended December 25, 2020, Specialty Brands accounted for $2,059.6 million in net sales, while Specialty Generics accounted for $689.8 million.

The following charts show the net sales revenue distribution by product for both Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics business units for FY2020.

 

LOGO

Specialty Brands

Specialty Brands markets branded pharmaceutical products for autoimmune and rare diseases in specialty areas like neurology, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonology, and ophthalmology; immunotherapy and neonatal respiratory critical care therapies; and non-opioid analgesics and gastrointestinal products. Specialty Brands’ diversified, in-line portfolio of both marketed and development products is focused on patients with significant unmet medical needs. It promotes its branded products directly to physicians in their offices, hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers (including neurologists, rheumatologists, nephrologists, pulmonologists, ophthalmologists, neonatologists, respiratory therapists, surgeons, and pharmacy directors) with multiple direct sales teams of approximately 400 sales representatives combined across the different products as of December 25, 2020. These products are purchased by independent wholesale drug distributors, specialty pharmaceutical distributors, retail pharmacy chains and hospital procurement departments, among others, and are eventually dispensed by prescription to patients. Specialty Brands also contracts directly with payer organizations to ensure reimbursement to patients that are prescribed products by their physicians.

 

 

4


Specialty Brands currently produces, markets, and sells the following branded products, among others:

 

  (i)

Acthar Gel is an injectable drug approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) for use in 19 indications, including monotherapy for the treatment of infantile spasms in infants and children under two years of age and various other on-label indications for neurology, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonology and ophthalmology conditions, which collectively generate substantially all of its net sales. The currently approved indications of Acthar Gel are not subject to patent or other exclusivity, but instead are protected by trade secret(s).

 

  (ii)

INOmax® (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation is a vasodilator that, in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents, is indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF) associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension. It is also approved in Australia for the treatment of perioperative pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) in adults in conjunction with cardiovascular surgery. It is marketed as part of the INOmax Total Care Package, which includes the drug product, proprietary drug-delivery systems, technical and clinical assistance, 24/7/365 customer service, emergency supply and delivery, and on-site training. The INOmax delivery device has certain IP attached to it, but the INOmax product itself (inhaled nitric oxide gas) is no longer protected by patents in any of the major markets where INOmax is marketed. Where competitors have entered to compete against Mallinckrodt in the inhaled nitric oxide market, they must do so with their own device technology, as Mallinckrodt’s nitric oxide cylinders are not compatible with devices outside the INOmax delivery system.

 

  (iii)

Therakos® photopheresis is a global leader in autologous immunotherapy delivered through extracorporeal photopheresis (“ECP”), provided by a proprietary medical device and related consumables. ECP is approved by the FDA for use in the palliative treatment of the skin manifestations of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”) that is unresponsive to other forms of treatment. Outside the U.S., ECP is approved to treat several other serious diseases that arise from immune system imbalances. Therakos’ product suite, which is sold to hospitals, clinics, academic centers and blood banks, includes an installed system, a disposable procedural kit used for each treatment and a drug, UVADEX® (methoxsalen) Sterile Solution (“UVADEX”), as well as instrument accessories, instrument maintenance and repair services.

 

  (iv)

Amitiza® (lubiprostone) is a leading global product in the branded constipation market. It is approved by the FDA in the U.S. for treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults; irritable bowel syndrome with constipation in women 18 years of age and older; and opioid-induced constipation in adult patients with chronic, non-cancer pain, including patients with chronic pain related to prior cancer or its treatment who do not require frequent opioid dosage escalation.

Specialty Generics

Specialty Generics is focused on providing its customers with high-quality specialty generic drugs and APIs. It offers a portfolio of product formulations containing hydrocodone-containing tablets, oxycodone-containing tablets, and several other controlled substances, all of which are significant products for the treatment of pain and which are regulated under U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) quota restrictions. Altogether, Specialty Generics operates one of the largest controlled substance pharmaceutical businesses in the U.S., offering generic products for pain management, substance abuse disorders, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (“ADHD”). Notably, Specialty Generics is the only producer of bulk acetaminophen in the North American and European regions.

 

 

5


The Specialty Generics business manufacture both (a) finished dosage products, meaning the product (whether in the form of a tablet, capsule, or liquid) that the patient ultimately ingests, and (b) APIs, which are then used to create finished dosage products. Specialty Generics does not promote its finished products directly to physicians, hospitals, or ambulatory surgical centers. Rather, the Company sells these products principally through independent channels, including drug distributors, specialty pharmaceutical distributors, retail pharmacy chains, food store chains with pharmacies, pharmaceutical benefit managers that have mail order pharmacies and hospital buying groups. Both finished dosage products and APIs are largely considered commodity products, and as such, Specialty Generics generally operates on much smaller margins as compared to the Specialty Brands business.

Specialty Generics’ revenues are diversified, with roughly half of its revenue coming from APIs, and the other half from finished dosage pharmaceutical products.

Income Statement Assumptions – Revenue

A. Net Sales

The Company forecasts its net sales in two different business segments, Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics. To develop these projections, the Company evaluated market conditions, surveyed the competitive landscape, assessed price and volume dynamics, and applied specific knowledge of key customer actions in each product category. Key factors considered in determining sales projections include, but are not limited to:

 

  (i)

Overall market trends for similar branded drugs (by category, therapeutic area, and/or disease state) and specialty generic segments, including finished dose and API, where the Company operates (or intends to launch new generic products);

 

  (ii)

Impact of anticipated competitive entrants in the branded drugs segment, or, in the case of Specialty Generics, changes in the expected number of competitors and/or their collective impact on pricing and market shares;

 

  (iii)

Analysis of in-line products and existing portfolio performance; and

 

  (iv)

An assessment of potential, recent developments, and expected progress/evolution of pipeline products.

Products in each of the business segments operate in competitive marketplaces with unique challenges and opportunities.

Acthar Gel – The Acthar Gel projections account for the impact of a potential new competitor partially offset by an assumed return to pre-pandemic prescriber and patient behavior, an increase in demand driven by the multi-year effort to complete clinical trials to broaden the published data for the product and to modernize the Acthar Gel brand, and the launch of a self-injector device that is expected to improve patient persistence on therapy and reduce patient and caregiver anxiety over the use of needles to administer the product.

INOmax – INOmax is expected to face continued price erosion and volume loss from competition during the early part of the Projection Period, stabilizing as a new competitive equilibrium is reached and with the launch of EVOLVE, the product’s next-generation delivery device, which is expected to further the technological (and related reliability and ease-of-use) advantages that INOmax enjoys versus its competitor delivery systems. In addition, increase revenue from growth in international markets is anticipated.

 

6


Therakos – Therakos is the only provider of extracorporeal photopheresis (“ECP”) used to treat Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (“CTCL”), and outside the U.S., the Therakos device is broadly approved, including for acute GvHD (Graft vs Host Disease) as well as CTCL. There are a number of competing therapies and treatments for these conditions, some of which have seen increases in utilization during the global pandemic. The Company’s focus is on solidifying its position in the ECP market within the U.S., while continuing to establish and grow the Therakos brand globally as it expands into new geographic markets.

Other Managed Brands – The Projections contemplates sales from two additional managed brands, Amitiza and Ofirmev. Amitiza sales begin to transition from exclusive branded sales to a generic market through an agreement with an authorized generic manufacturer in the U.S. Amitiza sales begin to show larger declines toward the end of the Projection Period as more generic competitors are expected to enter the market and erode market share and price.

Branded pipeline launches – StrataGraft is the only branded pipeline product with an expected launch during the Projection Period. Net sales contribution from StrataGraft are modest in the early years of the Projection Period and increase over time as the product is more broadly utilized.

Specialty Generics – The Specialty Generics business is focused on maintaining its base business for finished dose and API products, and advancing its pipeline of expected generics launch products to deliver revenue growth in the later years of the Projection Period. Net sales are expected to return to growth from 2022 onward after a multi-year decline driven by increased competition, payer consolidation, and market-wide reductions in demand for opioid products. As is to be expected in the generic pharmaceutical industry, the segment’s growth is driven by an expectation of successfully launching a continuous stream of newer generic products to offset regular declines in price as existing products become increasingly commoditized. In addition to its finished dosage generic products, the Company also expects its API business to remain steady across the Projection Period, with modest growth coming from capacity expansions, entrances into new international markets, and the growth in demand for higher margin stearate APIs for use in the nutraceuticals market.

As is typical in both branded and generic pharmaceutical markets, the Company’s net sales are based on its gross product sales, less the combined amounts of various government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, sales incentives, chargebacks, distribution service agreements fees, fees for services, and administration fees and discounts. These “gross-to-net” adjustments differ across products and product categories.

Income Statement Assumptions – Expenses

B. Cost of Goods Sold

The Company’s cost of goods sold (“COGS”) includes standard costs such as raw materials and manufacturing costs associated with the processing of materials to convert them into finished goods. In addition, it includes other cost of sales such as royalty expenses, handling costs (costs incurred to store, move, and prepare product for shipment), and other plant costs.

Manufacturing costs include wages and benefit costs, processing costs, maintenance costs, utility costs and other costs that are directly attributable to the production of products. Manufacturing costs have both fixed and variable cost components.

COGS, excluding depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net sales grows from 29.4% to 32.1% over the Projection Period driven by changes in product mix over time and slight margin compression.

A. Depreciation & Amortization

Depreciation for property, plant, and equipment, other than land and construction-in-process, is generally based upon the estimated useful life of the asset and is calculated using the straight-line method.

Amortization for intangible assets with finite useful lives is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Projected amortization reflects a ratable adjustment to the carrying value of other intangible assets at the Emergence Date in connection with the application of a simplified fresh-start accounting approach as described in the balance sheet assumptions for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Depreciation and amortization do not reflect the adjustments necessary to implement fresh-start accounting on the Emergence Date pursuant to ASC 852-10, including but not limited to detailed asset valuations and reassessment of the useful lives of amortizable assets.

B. Sales, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A costs include all direct and indirect selling, marketing, and administrative costs of the Debtors. Selling expense includes marketing expense, employee wages and benefits for the various commercial teams, commissions, and office expenses. General and administrative expense includes administrative employee wages and benefits, travel, rents, corporate overhead, insurance, information technology costs, office-related expenses, stock compensation expense, and other expenses.

SG&A expense, excluding reorganization expense and stock compensation expense, as a percentage of net sales improves from 26.5% to 24.0% over the Projection Period.

C. Research & Development (“R&D”)

R&D expenses comprise of internal research and development costs and are expensed as incurred. These expenses include salary and benefits, allocated overhead and occupancy costs, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing costs, contract services, medical affairs, and other related costs.

 

8


From time to time, the Company enters into licensing or collaborative agreements with third parties to develop a new drug candidate or intellectual property asset. These agreements may include R&D, marketing, promotion and selling activities to be performed by one or all parties involved. These collaborations generally include upfront, milestone and royalty or profit-sharing payments contingent upon future events tied to the developmental and commercial success of the asset. In general, upfront and milestone payments made to third parties under these agreements are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval of the product.

R&D expense, excluding one-time product-related contingent consideration expense, as a percentage of net sales declines from 10.0% to 9.1% over the Projection Period.

D. Interest Expense

Reflects interest on funded debt, estimated refinancing fees related to First Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes at maturity and interest on the Federal/State Acthar Settlement obligations. Funded debt interest is based upon projected debt levels and applicable interest rates for funded debt obligations outlined in the Plan and is assumed to be cash paid as incurred. The Projections assume that debt-related financing fees paid at emergence and post-emergence are expensed for accounting purposes and not capitalized.

Interest accretion on settlement obligations accounts for the difference between undiscounted cash flows in connection with the Opioid Trust and Federal/State Acthar Settlement (as provided in the balance sheet assumptions for Opioid Trust and Federal/State Acthar Settlement) and the fair values of these cash flows calculated on a present value basis.2

E. Taxes

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the reorganized Company is forecasting taxes payable in several taxing jurisdictions, most notably in Ireland and the U.S., based upon the anticipated capital structure and U.S. tax attribute reductions directly resulting from the implementation of the Plan. Taxable income projections include deductions for certain depreciable and amortizable assets subject to limitations and include continued use of pre-emergence Irish and Luxembourg net operating loss carryforwards. Taxable income projections (i) exclude the use of pre-emergence U.S. net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertain impact the restructuring will have on the Debtors’ ability to utilize them and (ii) exclude potential deductions from cash payments in connection with the Opioid Trust and Federal/State Acthar Settlement.

 

2 Fair values for the post-emergence Opioid Deferred Cash Payments and Federal/State Acthar Deferred Cash Payments (including the associated nominal interest) are calculated using a discount rate of 10.0%

Balance Sheet Assumptions

A. Cash & Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents.

B. Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects an estimate of losses inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio and is determined on the basis of historical experience. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines they are uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are also presented net of reserves related to chargebacks and rebates payable to customers.

C. Inventory

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, primarily using the first-in, first-out convention. The Debtors reduce the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors.

D. Other Current Assets

Other current assets primarily include prepaid expenses, the current portion of the CARES Act receivable, miscellaneous accounts receivable, royalties receivable, insurance receivable, deposits and restricted cash.

Projections assume the current portion of the CARES Act receivable of $177.8 million is collected in Q4 2021. See note on “Other Long-Term Assets” for details on the non-current portion of the CARES Act receivable.

E. Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation for property, plant, and equipment, other than land and construction in process, is generally based upon the following estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method:

Buildings: 10 - 45 years

Leasehold improvements: 1 - 20 years

Capitalized software: 1 - 10 years

Machinery and equipment: 1 - 20 years

F. Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets include income tax receivables, including the non-current portion of the CARES Act receivable, right of use asset lease, long-term investments, non-current insurance receivable, and restricted cash.

 

 

10


Projections assume the non-current portion of the CARES Act receivable of $136.6 million is collected in FY 2022. See note on “Other Current Assets” for details on the current portion of the CARES Act receivable.

G. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

For purposes of these Projections, the Debtors used a simplified fresh-start accounting approach and adjusted the carrying values of total Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for the difference between reorganization value and the projected book value of identifiable assets at the Emergence Date. The adjusted carrying values do not reflect the adjustments necessary to implement fresh-start accounting on the Emergence Date pursuant to ASC 852-10, including but not limited to detailed asset valuations and reassessment of the useful lives of amortizable assets.

H. Accounts Payable

The Debtors’ days payable3 is projected to be approximately 35 days at the Emergence Date increasing to approximately 50-60 days throughout the Projection Period, consistent with historical averages.

I. Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities primarily include accrued trade payables, accrued employee payroll and payroll-related costs, accrued utility expense, and accrued taxes.

J. Debt Obligations

Upon consummation of the Plan, the Debtors are assumed to have the following debt obligations:

 

  (i)

$900 million New Term Loan Facility at an annual interest rate of LIBOR + 530 bps

 

  (ii)

$200 million in New AR Revolving Facility4

 

  (iii)

$1,777 million New Takeback Term Loan Facility comprising of the following:

 

  a.

$1,404 million at an annual interest rate of LIBOR + 525 bps

 

  b.

$373 million at an annual interest rate of LIBOR + 550 bps

 

  (iv)

$495 million First Lien Notes at an annual interest rate of 10.00%5

 

  (v)

$323 million Second Lien Notes at an annual interest rate of 10.00%6

 

  (vi)

$375 million New Takeback Second Lien Notes at an annual interest rate of 10.00%

K. Opioid Trust

Pursuant to Article IV of the Plan, as of the Plan Effective Date, the Opioid Trust will be formed, and all Opioid Claims will be channeled exclusively to the Opioid Trust, and shall be resolved in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the Opioid Trust documents. The trust will receive the following cash payment consideration assuming the Reorganized Debtors do not elect to pre-pay any portion in the first year in accordance with the Opioid Trust terms.

L. Federal/State Acthar Settlement

In parallel with the Restructuring Support Agreement, CMS, the Debtors, the DOJ, and the States (excluding, for this purpose, any territories of the United States) agreed to the material terms of a settlement agreement in connection with the Federal/State Acthar Settlement, to be incorporated into the Plan. Under the settlement in principle, in full and final satisfaction of all claims at issue in connection with the Federal/State Acthar Settlement, Debtors Mallinckrodt plc and Mallinckrodt ARD, LLC agreed to make cash payments to the United States of America and the States (excluding, for this purpose, any territories of the United States other than the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) totaling $260 million in the aggregate in accordance with the below schedule, with deferred payments bearing interest at a variable rate equal to the nominal interest rate on special issues of government securities to the Social Security trust funds, measured as of each payment date and accruing from September 21, 2020:

Cash Flow Assumptions

A. Cash Flow from Operations Activities

The Company is expected to generate stable cash earnings from operations during the Projection Period. Net working capital is projected to be a use of cash over the course of the Projection Period driven by increasing accounts receivable due to increasing revenue and a gradual build-up in inventory, slightly offset by increased days payable outstanding of accounts payable post-emergence.

B. Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Cash usage from investing activities in the projection period is primarily driven by an increase in capital spending to support the launch of the INOmax EVOLVE device platform and conversion from the existing U.S. fleet of INOmax DSIR devices for Specialty Brands, as well as capital spending for Specialty Generics projects to increase plant capacity.

C. Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Cash usage from financing activities mainly reflect repayment of debt, Opioid Deferred Cash Payments, Federal/State Acthar Deferred Cash Payments, and contingent payments due to other parties under product acquisition or license agreements.

The Pro Forma Estimated Non-GAAP Cash Sources and Uses at the Emergence Date set forth below presents the estimated sources and uses of funds for the consummation of the restructuring transactions contemplated in the Plan (the “Restructuring Transactions”). These amounts are subject to adjustment and may differ at the time of the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions depending on several factors, including but not limited to, differences in estimated transaction fees and expenses, differences between actual and projected operating results and any differences in the contemplated debt financing when consummated.

Exhibit E

Liquidation Analysis


LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION

Under the “best interests” of creditors test (“Best Interests Test”) set forth in section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court may not confirm a plan of reorganization unless the plan provides each holder of a Claim or interest who does not otherwise vote in favor of the plan with property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 1129(a)(7). Accordingly, to demonstrate that the Debtors’ Plan satisfies the Best Interest Test, the Debtors have prepared this hypothetical liquidation analysis (“Liquidation Analysis”) presenting recoveries that may be obtained by Holders of Claims and Interests upon a disposition of assets in a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation as an alternative to recoveries provided under the Plan.

The Liquidation Analysis presents information based on, among other information, the Debtors’ books and records and good-faith estimates regarding asset recoveries and Claims resulting from a hypothetical liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The determination of the proceeds from the hypothetical liquidation of assets involves the use of estimates and assumptions. Although the Debtors consider the estimates and assumptions underlying the Liquidation Analysis to be reasonable under the circumstances, such estimates and assumptions are subject to business, economic, competitive, political, and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies beyond the Debtors’ control. Accordingly, the forecasted results set forth by the Liquidation Analysis may not be realized if the Debtors were liquidated. Actual results in such a case could vary from those presented herein, which could result in distributions to members of applicable Classes of Claims that differ from those set forth in this Liquidation Analysis.

The Liquidation Analysis indicates an estimated range of recovery values which may be realized by the Classes of Claims upon disposition of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to a chapter 7 liquidation, as an alternative to the Debtors’ proposed Plan. As illustrated by the Liquidation Analysis, impaired classes under the Plan would receive less recovery in a chapter 7 liquidation than they would under the Plan. Further, no holder of a Claim or interest would receive or retain property under the Plan of a value that is less than such holder would receive in a chapter 7 liquidation scenario as illustrated by the Liquidation Analysis. Therefore, the Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies the Best Interests Test as set forth in section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors, with the assistance of their legal, and financial advisor, have prepared this Liquidation Analysis in connection with the Debtors’ Plan and Disclosure Statement pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Liquidation Analysis provides a range of estimated recoveries based upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Debtors’ estates and their non-Debtor affiliates (“Non-Debtors”) if the Debtors’ current chapter 11 cases were converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis has been prepared assuming that the Debtors’ chapter 7 liquidation would commence on or around September 30, 2021 (the “Conversion Date”) and a chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) would be appointed to convert all of the Debtors’ and Non-Debtors’ assets into cash. Unless stated otherwise, the Liquidation

Analysis is based on net book values as of December 25, 2020, which is assumed to be representative of the Debtors’ and Non-Debtors’ assets as of the Conversion Date. In compliance with the Order Authorizing Intercompany Restructuring Transactions [Docket No. 633], the liquidation value of the intellectual property transferred in December 2020 to Debtor Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited is retained by the Debtors that held such intellectual property prior to the transfer. Cash generated from operations related to intellectual property is retained by the Debtors holding such cash in accordance with the Debtors’ post-transfer ordinary course cash management procedures.

The Liquidation Analysis is a hypothetical exercise that has been prepared for the sole purpose of presenting a reasonable good-faith estimate of the proceeds that would be realized if the Debtors were liquidated in accordance with chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Liquidation Analysis is not intended and should not be used for any other purpose. The Liquidation Analysis does not purport to be a valuation of the Debtors’ assets in the context of a holistic reorganization, and there may be a difference between the Liquidation Analysis and the values that may be realized, or Claims generated in an actual liquidation. The Liquidation Analysis should be read in conjunction with the assumptions, qualifications, and explanations set forth in the Disclosure Statement and the Plan in their entirety as well as the notes and assumptions set forth below.

Nothing contained in the Liquidation Analysis is intended to be, or constitutes, a concession, admission, or allowance of any claim by the Debtors. The actual amount or priority of Allowed Claims in the chapter 11 cases could differ from the estimated amounts set forth and used in the Liquidation Analysis. The Debtors reserve all rights to supplement, modify, or amend the analysis set forth herein.

NEITHER THE DEBTORS NOR THEIR ADVISORS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE ACTUAL RESULTS OF A LIQUIDATION OF THE DEBTORS WOULD OR WOULD NOT APPROXIMATE THE ESTIMATES OR PROJECTED RESULTS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE ACTUAL LIQUIDATION VALUE OF THE DEBTORS IS SPECULATIVE AND RESULTS COULD VARY MATERIALLY FROM ESTIMATES PROVIDED HEREIN.

METHODOLOGY AND RELATED KEY ASSUMPTIONS

This Liquidation Analysis assumes that proceeds available to creditors would be distributed in accordance with sections 726 and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Proceeds available for distribution that would be available for satisfaction of Claims would consist of the proceeds resulting from the disposition of the assets and properties of the Debtors in addition to cash held by the Debtors, as of the Conversion Date. The Debtors operate a highly complex and regulated business that includes various foreign operations. Debtors organized under foreign laws and Non-Debtor foreign affiliates are all assumed to be liquidated in a similar order of priority for distribution of value as described herein, although differing priorities may govern under applicable foreign law. Value from Non-Debtor affiliates is available to the Debtors through the equity ownership of these entities as well as through collection of intercompany receivables to the extent available. The Debtors prepared this Liquidation Analysis and reviewed recoveries on a Debtor-by-Debtor case.

This Liquidation Analysis assumes: (i) rapid, distressed sales of the Debtors’ branded and generics assets within 90 days post-conversion with certain operations being sold as operating business units; (ii) non-Debtor affiliates will wind-down and liquidate in conjunction with the Debtors’ liquidation; (iii) during the liquidation sales period, the Trustee will continue to maintain operations related to certain Specialty Brands products and the Specialty Generics’ APAP active pharmaceutical ingredient (“APAP-API”) business in an effort to maximize recoveries; (iv) an additional nine (9) months to wind-down the estates under the supervision of the Trustee to allow for monetization of assets and assessment of Claims which could take longer; (v) the continuation and cooperation of any accounting, treasury, tax, information technology support, and other corporate services necessary to wind-down the estates; and (vi) the Trustee has unrestricted access to cash and proceeds from asset sales held by foreign Debtors and any Non-Debtors, and the Trustee is able to repatriate proceeds. If there are foreign proceedings across the multiple jurisdictions and the Trustee is unable to access cash and sale proceeds generated at foreign entities, recoveries to creditors will be negatively impacted.

The Debtors face various litigations Claims including Opioid-related Claims and Acthar-related Claims. Various litigation creditors have asserted Claims against the Debtors in amounts totaling billions of dollars, and in some instances trillions of dollars, and such Claims are alleged to be at several or all Debtors in many instances. At the time the Disclosure Statement was filed, the Litigation Claims (as defined below) and Opioid Claims remained unliquidated, contingent, or disputed, and the aggregate amounts of such Claims are unknown. The Debtors dispute these Claims but do not have enough information to estimate the amount of these Claims for purposes of this analysis, and therefore no value has been assigned to such Claims and no recovery is currently projected. Allowed unliquidated or contingent Claims could meaningfully reduce recoveries to other General Unsecured Creditors, including but not limited to, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7 and Class 11 Claims, at the respective Debtors where these Claims are asserted. Under chapter 7, the Litigation Claims and Opioid Claims, or any portion of such Claims, would need to be resolved through litigation and the Trustee would need to engage litigation counsel to defend and liquidate those Claims. This differs significantly from the Plan, which proposes to (i) establish an Opioid Trust to resolve and distribute recovery to the Opioid Claims through the Opioid Trust distribution procedures from certain assets provided by the Debtors, and (ii) resolve Litigation Claims through the distribution of recoveries out of the General Unsecured Claims Cash Pool. As such, litigation in a chapter 7 liquidation is likely to be meaningfully more costly and time-consuming than resolving all Opioid Claims through the Opioid Trust and Litigation Claims through the General Unsecured Claims Cash Pool that are established under the chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. Litigation with respect to these Claims could extend beyond the contemplated wind-down period and could result in significant costs that would further dilute recoveries in a chapter 7 liquidation. All such litigation expenses would be paid in full ahead of any recovery to general unsecured creditors in a chapter 7 liquidation.

Upon conversion to a chapter 7 liquidation, the agreement in principle with the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (“CMS”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is assumed to be withdrawn, and the Restructuring Support Agreement terminated.

Proceeds from potential preference, fraudulent conveyance, or other Causes of Action may be available for distribution to Holders of Administrative Claims, Priority Claims, and General Unsecured Claims. However, litigation with respect to these Causes of Action would likely be extremely contentious, involve numerous parties and issues, and likely extend for many years beyond the contemplated wind-down period. This would result in significant costs that would be paid in full ahead of any recovery to general unsecured creditors in a chapter 7 liquidation. Further, the Debtors believe that recoveries from such Causes of Action would be speculative in nature. Accordingly, the Liquidation Analysis does not reflect any proceeds from potential Causes of Action that might be asserted by any Debtor’s estate.

Upon conversion to chapter 7, a Trustee would be appointed to manage the Debtors’ affairs, conduct a sale of the Specialty Brands’ and Specialty Generics’ assets and wind-down the Debtors’ operations. Given the specialized nature of the Debtors’ business that operates in a highly regulated environment, the Trustee would continue to rely upon existing management as well as specialized professionals to conduct the sale of the assets. Current employees and professionals will also need to be retained to assist with the wind-down of the estate. The Debtors’ conduct their manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceuticals drugs not only in the U.S. but also have significant operations and assets in various foreign jurisdictions. The Liquidation Analysis, herein, assumes the liquidation process is administered under the U.S. Bankruptcy Court; however, foreign jurisdictions may require separate foreign proceedings which could delay the liquidation process and reduce potential recoveries to creditors.

In order to maximize value from the liquidation of assets, the Debtors assume the Trustee will continue ordinary course operations of manufacturing and distributing product for certain of the Debtors’ Specialty Brands products, as well as the APAP-API Specialty Generics business. The Trustee would cease the manufacturing and distribution related to all other generic products, including opioid manufacturing and distribution. The Trustee will rely on continuing arrangements with non-Debtor affiliates that manage certain manufacturing capabilities and administer key personnel, such as sales representatives in key foreign markets. Certain developmental products that are extensions of current commercialized products are assumed to be sold with the intangible assets. The values are included in the asset sale proceeds.

The Debtors assume the Trustee will look to sell the underlying operations of INOmax, Amitiza, and the Specialty Generics’ APAP active pharmaceutical ingredient operations. The sale of these business operations include the intellectual property or product know-how, inventory, and the owned manufacturing facilities used to manufacture these products (the “Liquidated Operations”). For the remaining branded products, a range of liquidation values have been estimated assuming distressed sales of the existing intellectual property (“IP”), licenses, and rights associated with certain of the Debtors’ developed branded products (“Liquidated Product IP”). The intellectual property related to these branded products are assumed to be sold in one or more asset sales under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors assume the inventory for these branded products will be sold to the same buyer of the intellectual property in order to limit supply interruption as the product rights are transferred. Furthermore, the Debtors reviewed their product pipeline and included recoverable value for certain developmental products. Existing commercial arrangements are maintained as well as all regulatory authorizations, acknowledging the inherent challenges. If the commercial relationships are not maintained or regulatory authorizations are impeded, recoveries to creditors will be negatively impacted. The estimated net sales proceeds realized take into consideration, among other factors, the distressed nature of such a sales process, the likely negative press coverage and market reaction associated with conversion to chapter 7 liquidation, the difficulty of transferring marketing authorization or assigning contract manufacturing arrangements, and the Trustee’s limited ability to provide adequate representations, warranties, and indemnities to a buyer.

 

5


Furthermore, the Debtors believe there are additional factors that could negatively impact proceeds realized and recoveries to creditors as set forth in the Liquidation Analysis, which include, but are not limited to (a) turnover of key personnel; (b) challenging economic conditions; (c) delays in the liquidation process; (d) withdrawal of marketing authorizations by regulatory bodies due to the chapter 7 proceedings; (e) termination of manufacturing contracts limiting the Debtors ability to maintain continuity of supply; (f) termination of distribution arrangements or loss of customers; (g) negative impact from the termination of agreement in principle with CMS & DOJ as well as a termination of the settlement agreement with certain opioid plaintiffs; (h) complications related to assets and business operations held in foreign jurisdictions; and (i) possible negative impacts from litigation related to Acthar and opioid products. These factors may limit the amount of the liquidation proceeds available to the Trustee to satisfy Allowed Claims under this hypothetical liquidation as well as delay the Trustee’s ability to distribute funds to the respective creditors in an orderly and timely manner.

For the avoidance of doubt and as stated above, the Liquidation Analysis does not include: (a) estimates for the tax consequences that may be triggered upon liquidation and sale of assets which could lower potential recoveries to creditors; (b) estimated proceeds from insurance or indemnity recoveries; (c) recoveries from any potential preference, fraudulent transfer, or other litigation or avoidance actions. Any third-party litigation or avoidance Claims would likely inure to the benefit of the Holders of the Debtors’ Guaranteed Unsecured Notes or to Holders of Opioid Claims, given the asserted amount and/or structural seniority of these Claims relative to other unsecured Claims.

PROCEEDS FROM LIQUIDATED OPERATIONS

1. Proceeds from Liquidated Operations include proceeds from the distressed sales of the Liquidated Operations. These sales include the applicable intellectual property, owned manufacturing facilities, machinery & equipment, and inventory. These individual assets are held by different entities and the estimated value realized is allocated to the respective Debtors or Non-Debtors. The sales proceeds are net of commission fees equal to 1.5% of the gross proceed value.

ASSET RECOVERIES

2. Cash & Cash Equivalents includes cash held in the Debtors’ domestic and foreign bank accounts, cash equivalents, and money market accounts. Cash held by non-Debtor affiliates is a source of recovery to the Debtors through satisfaction of any intercompany activity and Investment in Subsidiary after the non-Debtor affiliates wind-down and satisfy their respective obligations. The Debtors’ cash is estimated as of the Conversion Date which includes adequate protection cash payments with respect to the Debtors’ Secured indebtedness, in accordance with the Debtors’ Cash Collateral Order1. Estimated recovery of Cash & Cash Equivalents is 100%.

3. Accounts Receivable, net of reserves includes all third-party trade accounts receivable, net of chargebacks, rebates, allowances and bad debt reserves. The liquidation of accounts receivable assumes that the Trustee will retain certain personnel from the Debtors and foreign Non-Debtors to oversee collection of outstanding trade accounts receivable. The estimated recoveries used in this Liquidation Analysis take into consideration the inevitable difficulty of collections during a liquidation process, and related concessions that might be required to facilitate the collection of certain receivables. The estimated recovery range for accounts receivable is 70% to 85% of net book value. Collections of trade receivables during a liquidation could be significantly compromised as customers attempt to set off outstanding amounts owed to the Debtors and Non-Debtors against alleged damage and breach of contract Claims, which could reduce recoveries.

4. Inventory includes raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory. The net book value of Finished Goods inventory is adjusted for transfer pricing. The inventory associated with the Liquidated Product IP is sold to the same buyer as the underlying intellectual property; otherwise, the inventory has limited recoverable value without the product intangibles and marketing authorizations. Inventory book values and proceeds realized from the Liquidated Operations, specifically INOmax, Amitiza, and APAP-API, are included in the Proceeds from Liquidated Operations. Recoveries are estimated for certain non-opioid related inventory held by Specialty Generics’ entities. However, inventory related to opioid products are assumed to have minimal to no recovery as the Trustee will cease selling opioid products upon a chapter 7 conversion. The estimated recoveries reflect the distressed nature of the respective asset sales and the expedited timeline to complete such a sale. The estimated blended recovery range for all inventory is 51% to 59% of net book value.

5. Prepaid Expenses consist of various expenses such as prepaid rent, prepaid maintenance and prepaid insurance. The Debtors estimate that there would be no recoverable value related to prepaid expenses since any prepayment would likely be depleted.

6. Other Current Assets includes VAT/sales tax receivables, insurance receivables, deposits, and other receivables. The estimated range of recovery for these assets is 20% to 40%. Restricted cash, also included, are controlled by third-parties for the benefit of surety bonds, letters of credit, and deposits. These funds may be difficult to recoup and recoverable value is estimated to be 0% to 30% of book value. CARES Tax Receivables include receivables from CARES Act related tax refunds based on the Debtors’ current estimates. Recoveries are estimated to range from 90% to 100%, net of reserves. These estimates are subject to change, and any refunds received are subject to IRS review both prior to and following receipt. The estimated blended recovery range for all Other Current Assets is 59% to 75%.

The Debtors reserve all rights as to whether any such adequate protection payments should be recharacterized as payments of principal in a liquidation scenario.

7. Property, Plant, and Equipment, net includes the Debtors’ land, building & building improvements, manufacturing machinery & equipment, furniture & fixtures, leasehold improvements, and capitalized software. The owned manufacturing machinery & equipment, land, and buildings related to the Liquidated Operations are included in the Proceeds from Liquidated Operations. Recoveries from the sale of these PP&E assets are net of commission fees of 1.5%. Given the difficulty and cost of liquidating the remaining property, plant and equipment assets in a compressed timeframe, the Debtors assumed the following recoveries:

 

   

Estimated recoveries for certain real property, which includes land & building assets, are based on recent third-party appraisals or real estate tax assessment values. These values are discounted by 15% to 20%. For properties where external values were not readily available, recoveries are estimated to be 40% to 60% of net book value. Recoverable value is reduced for non-dischargeable environmental liabilities that may be asserted at any of the real property.

 

   

Estimated recoveries for machinery & equipment are 10% to 20% of net book value due to the considerable deinstallation costs required to remove these assets as well as the unique use of these assets in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process.

 

   

Estimated recoveries for furniture and office equipment, including vehicles, are 10% to 20% of net book value.

 

   

Capitalized software, communication equipment, and computers are assumed to have a recovery of 5% to 10% of net book value given the specific use of these assets.

 

   

No recoverable value is ascribed to leasehold improvements and construction in progress.

8. Intangible Assets include patents, licenses, capitalized development of products, and trademarks. The recovery value for the Intangible Assets is based upon the potential value of the intellectual property assets sold to a third-party buyer under a distressed liquidation sale. An estimated fair market value was determined for the intangible assets to be sold in the chapter 7 liquidation. The value of the Intangible Assets is based on a net present value of the projected cash flows for the individual products. In process research & development related to existing Specialty Brands products are included in the respective intangible value. Proceeds related to intellectual property sold as part of Liquidated Operations are separately included in Proceeds from Liquidated Operations. Any other applicable proceeds for other Intangibles are accounted for in Intangible Asset recoveries. Recoveries from the sale of Intangible Assets are net of commission fees of 1.5%.

This analysis considers many factors, including but not limited to, remaining patent exclusivity, net cash flow generating value, and transition costs and time. The underlying value of these assets in a liquidation are impacted by many factors, such as (a) the short time period of the sale process; (b) possible discounts buyers would require due to the limited due diligence period; (c) the risk of maintaining contractual relationships with contract manufacturers and/or customers; (d) the uncertainty around the ability to transfer marketing authorizations efficiently; and (e) negative publicity and any litigation risk. Recoveries are projected to be 28% to 33% of net book value in aggregate, a portion of which is reflected in Proceeds from Liquidated Operations.

 

8


9. Other Non-Current Assets includes spare parts, non-current asbestos insurance receivables, long-term deposits, investments, long-term tax receivables, and other non-current assets. Long-term tax receivables relate to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act refund for the tax period ending September 2020. Blended recoveries for Other Non-Current Assets are estimated to be between 31% and 41%.

10. Intercompany Receivables include intercompany transactions both between Debtors and with non-Debtor affiliates. Intercompany transactions relate to trade activities from the sale and purchase of goods and services amongst entities, payment for management and corporate services, cash pooling arrangements and intercompany loans. Intercompany transactions are governed by distribution and supply agreements (primarily for cross-border activities), service agreements, cash management agreements, and intercompany loan documents. Transfer pricing used for product transfers and services comply with the Debtors’ debt document requirements. Any transfer pricing used is monitored and documented regularly. Recoveries on intercompany transactions are based on the obligor entity’s ability to satisfy its obligation, following the absolute priority rule, out of the net proceeds available to creditors. In the course of winding down foreign non-Debtors, to the extent intercompany receivables are subordinated, recoveries to the Debtors and their creditors could be reduced.

11. Investment in Subsidiary includes any value available for distribution to parent entities after satisfying all creditors at the respective legal entity. Any distribution to multiple parent entities is based on the equity percentage ownership.

12. Net Operating Cash Flow—Conversion Through Sale includes the net operating cash flows generated during the 90-day liquidation sales period. Upon conversion to chapter 7, the Trustee maintains ordinary course operations for 90 days in order to maximize potential recoveries to creditors. During the 90 days after the Conversion Date, the Debtors are estimated to generate positive free cash flow after assuming loss of sales and minimal vendor payment terms given the risks of continuing to do business with a company in a liquidation. Certain aspects of the current organizational structure is largely intact including the sales and marketing, supply chain, operations support, manufacturing & distribution, regulatory, and clinical service organizations. These functions are necessary to maintain continuity of supply and provide the necessary products and treatments to the Debtors’ customers and patients in order to preserve and maximize recoverable value.

CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION COSTS

The conversion of these chapter 11 cases to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code will result in additional costs to the Debtors including compensation of the Trustee, as well as retained counsel and other professionals, to oversee the wind-down of the Debtors’ and Non-Debtors’ estates in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The chapter 7 costs include the following:

13. Chapter 7 Trustee Fees include fees associated with the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee in accordance with section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code. Although section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for statutory Trustee fees of 3.0% for liquidation proceeds in excess of $1,000,000, for purposes of this analysis, Chapter 7 Trustee Fees are assumed to be 1.5% of total liquidation proceeds, excluding recoveries related to cash on hand. Should the Trustee’s fees exceed 1.5%, the proceeds available for distribution to creditors would be reduced. Chapter 7 Trustee Fees are allocated to the Debtor entities based on their pro-rata share of Gross Proceeds Available for Distribution.

 

9


14. Chapter 7 Trustee Professional Fees include the cost of financial advisors, attorneys, and other professionals retained by the Trustee in connection with the wind-down of the Debtors’ domestic and foreign operations. The fees represent tax, legal, accounting, claims reconciliation, regulatory and other related services to support the Trustee in this complex, expansive liquidation. The Debtors estimate the chapter 7 Trustee professionals will be retained over a 12-month period to not only manage the liquidation of the Debtors’ assets but also wind-down the corporate estates both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions including Ireland, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, and Japan. The fees are estimated to cover the monetization of the various assets as well as an additional nine (9) months to wind-down the U.S. and foreign operations with fees scaling down during the period. The Debtors estimate chapter 7 Trustee Professional Fees are estimated to be approximately $30 million to $34 million, excluding commission and transaction fees incurred as part of liquidating the Debtors’ assets.

Absent a settlement with the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services, the Department of Justice and with the public and private opioid plaintiffs, litigation amongst the creditor constituents could take many years and lead to a significant cost to the estate. The Liquidation Analysis assumes litigation could take up to three years or longer. The Trustee will need to retain professionals to assist with litigation related to claims allowance, estimation, and allocation of recoveries, and to the extent such litigation implicates any of the Debtors’ secured lenders or noteholders, the estate may also be required to bear such parties’ legal expenses. Such litigation will likely delay the Trustee’s ability to distribute proceeds to creditors. The chapter 7 litigation professional fee costs are estimated to be approximately $125 million to $150 million. Litigation related fees could be materially higher and further reduce recoveries to creditors. Total chapter 7 Trustee Professional Fees are allocated to the Debtor entities based on their pro-rata share of Gross Proceeds Available for Distribution.

15. Wind-Down Expense includes retention costs and expenses associated with the wind-down of the Debtors’ remaining estates, including the Non-Debtors affiliates, after completing the sale of the Debtors’ assets. Costs include additional retention compensation necessary to preserve the sales organization, supply chain, manufacturing, regulatory, clinical services and other functions during the liquidation sales process. The Debtors’ assume all sales, marketing, clinical services, manufacturing, supply chain, and other operating costs will essentially cease upon the completion of the asset sales. However, given the complex nature of the Debtors’ business operations across various domestic and foreign jurisdictions, additional costs will be incurred to wind-down the corporate affairs including legal, tax, accounting, claims reconciliation, compliance and other necessary functions. The Trustee will retain a number of corporate employees to assist with facilitating the liquidation of the Debtors’ assets, providing historical knowledge and insight to the Trustee regarding the Debtors’ complex businesses and the chapter 11 cases, and concluding the administrative wind-down of the organization in the various foreign jurisdictions where the Debtors’ have domiciled entities.

The estimated wind-down costs are based on a reduction to the current monthly run-rate operating expenses by department with further reductions throughout the wind-down period to complete the necessary wind-down activities. Wind-down costs for the nine (9) month period after the initial asset sale period is estimated to be approximately $26 million to $29 million, excluding employee retention costs. In addition, incremental retention programs are initiated to retain necessary key employees with institutional knowledge to assist the Trustee in facilitating an efficient wind-down process.

DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS

The Liquidation Analysis assumes that net proceeds from the sale of the assets will be distributed following the absolute priority rule provided in section 1129(b)(2) and in accordance with section 726 of the Bankruptcy Code, and no distributions will be made to holders of equity interests until all creditors are satisfied in full. Certain real property assets are not part of the secured creditors’ collateral, and the estimated recoveries from these unencumbered assets have been segregated and made available to Administrative, Priority, and General Unsecured Claims.

SECURED CLAIMS

16. Carve-Out includes certain unpaid holdback and accrued professional fees and costs entitled to priority above Secured Claims as outlined in the Cash Collateral Order. The Cash Collateral Order provides for a “Carve Out” (as defined therein) that is senior to all liens and Claims (including any super-priority Administrative Claims) held by First Lien Creditors. For purposes of the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors assumed that the “Carve Out Trigger Notice” (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) is delivered on the Conversion Date, requiring the Debtors to fund a reserve from the Debtors’ cash on hand in the amount of the Carve Out. The Carve-Out costs are estimated to be approximately $34 million to $37 million. This total includes accrued but unpaid fees and expenses incurred by the chapter 11 retained professionals, in addition to fees payable to the U.S. Trustee. Carve Out Claims are assumed to be paid from encumbered asset proceeds; however, such payments can be made out of unencumbered asset proceeds which would reduce recoveries to unsecured creditors.

 

11


17. Class 2 - First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Claims include estimated Claims of $906 million for the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims and $1.8 billion for the 2024 and 2025 First Lien Term Loan Claims. Claim amounts include accrued interest during the post-conversion period at prepetition interest rates. The First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Claims and First Lien Term Loan Claims are allocated amongst the obligor entities pro-rata based on the respective obligor entities’ Net Estimated Proceeds Available for Distribution, excluding estimated value attributable to unencumbered assets2. Secured contribution claims are asserted by obligor entities deemed to pay more than their fair allocated share of the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility and First Lien Term Loan Claims, as specified in the Credit Agreement, against obligor entities that under-pay their share of the bank debt claims. First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Claim recoveries are shown net of any secured contribution claim receivables or amounts paid, as applicable.

18. Class 3 - First Lien Note Claims include estimated Claims of $546 million which includes accrued interest of $12 million for the post-conversion period and a make-whole premium3 of $38 million, as of the estimated transaction date in December 2021. The First Lien Note Claims are allocated pro-rata to the obligor entities based on entity count until the Claim is paid in full in accordance with New York law.

19. Class 4 - Second Lien Note Claims include estimated Claims of $356 million which includes accrued interest of $8 million for the post-conversion period and a make-whole premium3 of $25 million, as of the estimated transaction date in December 2021. The Second Lien Note Claims are allocated pro-rata to the obligor entities based on entity count until the Claim is paid in full in accordance with New York law.

20. Purchase-Money Lien reflects a secured third-priority purchase-money lien (which is expressly junior in priority to the liens securing the First Lien Credit Agreement Secured Claims, First Lien Note Claims, and Second Lien Note Claims) that is asserted on the inventory held by Mallinckrodt ARD LLC and ST Operations LLC along with the proceeds from the sale of the secured inventory.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND PRIORITY CLAIMS

21. Administrative and Priority Claims include Priority tax, Administrative postpetition, and super-priority intercompany Claims. Priority tax Claims and Administrative postpetition Claims are asserted at certain Debtors based on the Debtors’ books and records. The Debtors assume that there will be no employment-related (including “WARN Act” Claims) as of the Conversion Date. To the extent any such Claims arise, recoveries to General Unsecured Claims at certain Debtor entities would be reduced. Postpetition intercompany Claims between Debtor entities are granted super-priority Adminstrative Claim status.

 

2 

Unencumbered assets include real property assets held by the respective legal entity.

3 

It is assumed, solely for purposes of this Liquidation Analysis, that make-whole premiums would be payable on the First Lien Note Claims and the Second Lien Note Claims in connection with a chapter 7 liquidation (as opposed to the treatment set forth in the Debtors’ Plan). The Debtors, however, reserve all rights as to whether any such make-whole premiums are payable and, if payable, how any such make-whole premium should be calculated. Furthermore, the Debtors specifically do not believe that any such make-whole premiums would be payable in connection with the treatment of the First Lien Note Claims and the Second Lien Note Claims set forth in the Debtors’ Plan.

 

12


GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIMS

General Unsecured Claims consist of all unsecured, non-priority Claims arising prior to the Petition Date. Estimates of such Claims are based on the Debtors’ books and records and a preliminary review of the proofs of Claim filed against the Debtors in these cases. The Liquidation Analysis includes known estimated contract rejection damage Claims. To the extent additional contract rejection damage Claims exist, the recovery to unsecured creditors at the respective Debtors where these Claims arise could be less.

Below are the various categories of Claims, described according to their Classes under the Plan, that would all be pari passu as General Unsecured Claims in chapter 7. The Liquidation Analysis reflects only liquidated Claims at the respective Debtors, as amounts associated with unliquidated claims, such as litigation Claims, are unknown. As previously described, the Debtors face various litigations Claims including Opioid- related Claims and Acthar-related Claims. Various litigation creditors have asserted Claims against the Debtors in amounts totaling billions of dollars, and in some instances trillions of dollars, and such Claims are alleged to be at several or all Debtors, in many instances. Allowed unliquidated or contingent Claims could meaningfully reduce recoveries to other General Unsecured Creditors, including but not limited to, Class 5, Class 6, Class 7 and Class 11 Claims, at the respective Debtors where these Claims are asserted.

22. Class 5 - Guaranteed Unsecured Note Claims include estimated Claims of $1.5 billion on the Conversion Date, including accrued interest through the Petition Date. The Guaranteed Unsecured Note Claims are obligations of 63 entities including the primary issuer, Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. The Guaranteed Unsecured Note Claims are allocated and then reallocated pro-rata to the obligor entities based on obligor entity count until the Claim is paid in full or until no value is available for distribution to unsecured creditors at the respective obligor entities, in accordance with New York law. Aggregate recoveries are estimated to be 15% to 58%. Recoveries on these Claims could be diluted if unliquidated, contingent, or disputed claims become Allowed Claims at the respective obligor entities.

23. Class 6 - General Unsecured Claims include the following general unsecured claims:

 

  a)

Other General Unsecured Claims include non-trade unsecured Claims, pension and retirement plan obligations, unsecured tax Claims, known estimated rejection damage Claims, and other miscelleanous unsecured Claims.

 

  b)

Environmental & Asbestos Claims include reserves for estimated environmental liabilities at the Conversion Date. Certain environmental liabilities deemed to be non-dischargeable are assumed to reduce the recoverable value of the related land and building assets, as previously noted. This analysis does not account for potential administrative costs to liquidate these sites. Asbestos Claims include reserves for estimated asbestos liabilities at the Conversion Date.

 

  c)

4.75% Unsecured Notes include estimated Claims of $136.8 million on the Conversion Date, including accrued interest through the Petition Date. The 4.75% Unsecured Notes are issued by Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. and guaranteed from Mallinckrodt plc.

 

13


  d)

Legacy Ludlow Debentures include estimated Claims of $15.3 million on the Conversion Date, including accrued interest through the Petition Date. The Ludlow Debentures only have a Claim against its issuer, Ludlow LLC (f/k/a Ludlow Corporation).

 

  e)

Litigation Claims” are Claims derived from pending non-opioid related litigation against the Debtors and all similar Claims, including but not limited to, various Acthar payor lawsuits and the generics price fixing lawsuits. These Claims are unliquidated, contingent, or disputed and the aggregate amount of such Claims are undetermined.

24. Class 7 - Trade Claims include estimated prepetition trade Claims as of the Conversion Date.

25. Class 8 - Governmental Opioid Claims & Class 9 - Other Opioid Claims include governmental state and non-state Opioid Claims, private plaintiff Opioid Claims, and a Canadian lawsuit. These Claims are unliquidated and the amount of such Claims are undetermined.

26. Class 10 - Settled Federal/State Acthar Claims include the CMS and DOJ Claims as well as the EDPA Foundation and Boston Foundation Claims which are settled as part of the Acthar Settlement Agreement. The CMS judgement Claim of $640 million is reflected as a Claim in the Liquidation Analysis. Other Claims in this Class are unliquidated or contingent and amounts are undetermined.

27. Class 11 - Intercompany Claims include prepetition intercompany payables between Debtor and non-Debtor affiliates. Prepetition intercompany payables are deemed pari passu to all unsecured Claims, except for non-ordinary course intercompany payables due from an obligor entity to a non-obligor entity, which are deemed subordinate to other unsecured creditors of the obligor entity. Settlement of intercompany payables is based on the obligor entity’s ability to satisfy its obligation out of net proceeds available to satisfy unsecured Claims.

SUBORDINATED UNSECURED & EQUITY CLASSES OF CLAIMS

28. Class 12 - Intercompany Interests include any value available for distribution to parent entities after satisfying all creditors at the respective legal entity.

29. Class 13 - Subordinated Claims are Claims derived from pending non-opioid related litigation against the Debtors, including but not limited, to subordinated litigation Claims related to penalties from False Claims Act, punitive damages for Acthar trade lawsuits, and securities lawsuit claims. These Subordinated Claims are unliquidated, contingent, or disputed and the aggregate amount of such Claims are unknown. Subordinated Claims also include a subordinated prepetiton intercompany loan due to a non-obligor affiliate. No recoverable value is available for Subordinated Claims.

 

14


30. Class 14 - Equity Interest includes any value available for distribution to the Equity Holders of Mallinckrodt plc. In the Liquidation Analysis, there is no recoverable value available to Equity Interest holders.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Under chapter 7, the litigation Claims in Class 6 and the Governmental and Other Opioid Claims in Class 8 and Class 9, would be resolved through litigation, and the Trustee would need to engage litigation counsel to defend and litigate these Claims. Claim estimates for unliquidated, contingent, or disputed Claims are unknown at the time the Disclosure Statement was filed. The Debtors do not have sufficient information to properly estimate the amount of these Claims for purposes of this analysis, and therefore, no value has been assigned to Class 6, Class 8, and Class 9 Claims; and thus no recovery value is projected. However, if the unliquidated, contingent or disputed Claims were deemed Allowed Claims at the Debtor entities that are named defendents in the various lawsuits, the aggregate proceeds available to Unsecured Claims range from approximately $3 million to $56 million across the relevant Debtor entities. These proceeds would primarily be available to Specialty Generics’ entities, which would substantially benefit the Class 5 Guaranteed Unsecured Note Claims and Class 8 & Class 9 Opioid Claims, given the potential size of these Claims.

Exhibit F

Valuation Analysis


Valuation Analysis

THE VALUATION INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT A PREDICTION OR GUARANTEE REGARDING, AND GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES, LLC (“GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES”) DOES NOT EXPRESS ANY VIEW OR OPINION AS TO, THE PRICE OR RANGE OF PRICES AT WHICH ANY OF THE SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES OF THE DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS MAY TRADE, BE SALEABLE OR OTHERWISE BE TRANSFERABLE AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUBSEQUENT TO CONSUMMATIFEAON OF THE PLAN.1

SUCH VALUATION INFORMATION IS PRESENTED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING ADEQUATE INFORMATION UNDER SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE TO ENABLE THE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN, TO MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGMENT ABOUT THE PLAN AND SHOULD NOT BE USED OR RELIED UPON FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF CLAIMS AGAINST OR INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES.

THE ESTIMATED VALUE SET FORTH IN THE VALUATION ANALYSIS DOES NOT PURPORT TO CONSTITUTE AN APPRAISAL OR NECESSARILY REFLECT THE ACTUAL MARKET VALUE THAT MIGHT BE REALIZED THROUGH A SALE OR LIQUIDATION OF THE DEBTORS OR THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS, THEIR SECURITIES OR THEIR ASSETS, WHICH MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ESTIMATES SET FORTH IN THE VALUATION ANALYSIS. ACCORDINGLY, SUCH ESTIMATED VALUE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF THE PRICES AT WHICH ANY SECURITIES OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS MAY TRADE AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EFFECTED BY THE PLAN AS OF OR FOLLOWING CONSUMMATION THEREOF. ANY SUCH PRICES MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN INDICATED BY THE VALUATION ANALYSIS.

IN THE EVENT THAT THE PLAN IS NOT CONSUMMATED AS OF THE EXPECTED EFFECTIVE DATE AS ASSUMED IN THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE VALUATION ANALYSIS CONTAINED HEREIN WILL CHANGE, POSSIBLY MATERIALLY.

With authorization from the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors retained Guggenheim Securities as their investment banker in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. Solely for purposes of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, Guggenheim Securities estimated the total enterprise value (the “Total Enterprise Value”)2 and the implied estimated equity value (the “Equity Value”) of the Reorganized Debtors on a consolidated going-concern basis and pro forma for the transactions contemplated by the Plan (the “Valuation Analysis”), all as set forth below. The Valuation Analysis was based on financial information provided by the Debtors’ senior management, including the Financial Projections (defined below) attached to the Disclosure Statement as Exhibit D, and information provided by other sources.

 

1 

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall, to the extent defined in (x) the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt plc and its Debtor Affiliates under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated April 20, 2021 (the “Plan”), or (y) the Disclosure Statement for Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt plc and its Debtor Affiliates under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated April 20, 2021 (the “Disclosure Statement”) have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan or Disclosure Statement, as the context requires.

2 

Total Enterprise Value is a financial term that generally means (a) the subject company’s equity value (i.e., the value of the subject company’s equity and equity-linked securities (i) inclusive of the value of (y) any minority investments held by the subject company and (z) any non-operating assets of the subject company and (ii) exclusive of the value of any non-controlling interests in the subject company’s businesses that are held by third parties) plus (b) the subject company’s funded debt less (c) the subject company’s excess cash, cash equivalents and short- and long-term marketable securities. But see, also, discussion below pertaining to the method used herein to derive the implied estimated equity value for the Reorganized Debtors.


In assessing and utilizing the Financial Projections for purposes of performing the Valuation Analysis, Guggenheim Securities took into account its discussions with the Debtors’ senior management regarding the risks and uncertainties of realizing the Financial Projections in light of (i) the current and prospective industry conditions and competitive dynamics facing the Debtors (and, as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors), (ii) the Debtors’ recent financial performance, (iii) the key commercial, operational and financial drivers underlying the Financial Projections, (iv) the impact and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on any of the foregoing and (v) various other facts and circumstances relevant to the Financial Projections.

The Valuation Analysis was conducted as of April 16, 2021 and assumes the effective date of the Plan occurs on September 24, 2021 (the “Effective Date”).

Estimated Total Enterprise Value and Equity Value

Based on the Financial Projections and other information and the financial analyses described herein, Guggenheim Securities estimated the Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors to be approximately $5,200 to $5,700 million, with a midpoint of $5,450 million. After deducting (i) pro forma net funded debt of $3,650 million3 as contemplated by the Plan as of the Effective Date, and (ii) the fair value of certain deferred settlement payments of $987 million,4 Guggenheim Securities’ estimated Total Enterprise Value implies an estimated Equity Value for the Reorganized Debtors of approximately $563 to $1,063 million, with a midpoint of $813 million.

THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS FOR, AND THE ESTIMATED TOTAL ENTERPRISE VALUE AND THE IMPLIED ESTIMATED EQUITY VALUE OF, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES THAT ARE INHERENTLY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. AMONG OTHER THINGS, SUCH ESTIMATED VALUES WILL FLUCTUATE BASED ON (I) GENERAL ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS, CAPITAL MARKETS CONDITIONS AND INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC AND COMPANY-SPECIFIC FACTORS AND (II) THE FINANCIAL CONDITION, FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL PROSPECTS OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS. MANY OF THE FOREGOING FACTORS AND/OR DRIVERS ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE DEBTORS, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS AND GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, THE ESTIMATED VALUES SET FORTH HEREIN ARE NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF ACTUAL OUTCOMES, WHICH MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE OR LESS FAVORABLE THAN THOSE SET FORTH HEREIN. BECAUSE THE ESTIMATED TOTAL ENTERPRISE VALUE AND THE IMPLIED ESTIMATED EQUITY VALUE OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS AS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SUCH UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, NONE OF THE DEBTORS, THE REORGANIZED DEBTORS, GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSUMES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACCURACY, ACHIEVABILITY OR REALIZATION. ANY VARIANCE IN ACTUAL RESULTS FROM THE ESTIMATES SET FORTH IN THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES’ VALUATION ANALYSIS.

Summary of Reviews, Financial Analyses and Valuation Methodologies

In the course of estimating the Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors, Guggenheim Securities:

 

   

reviewed the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, each dated as of April 20, 2021;

 

   

reviewed the Restructuring Support Agreement entered into on October 11, 2020 (as modified by the MSGE Group Joinder Agreement and the Supporting Term Lenders Joinder Agreement);

 

   

reviewed the pro forma capitalization of the Reorganized Debtors as contemplated by the Plan as of the Effective Date;

 

   

reviewed certain historical and forward-looking business and financial information regarding the business and prospects of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors (including certain consolidated financial projections for the Reorganized Debtors for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 through the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025 (the “Financial Projections”) and certain estimates as to potential realizable existing tax attributes expected to be utilized by the Reorganized Debtors), all as prepared and approved for Guggenheim Securities’ use by the Debtors’ senior management;

 

   

discussed with the Debtors’ senior management and the Debtors’ other advisors (as applicable) their respective views regarding the (i) business, operations, historical and projected financial results and future prospects of the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, (ii) key assumptions related to the Financial Projections and (iii) commercial, competitive and regulatory dynamics in the specialty pharmaceutical and generic pharmaceutical sectors;

 

   

performed discounted cash flow analyses based on the Financial Projections;

 

   

compared the financial performance of the Debtors with corresponding data for certain publicly traded companies that Guggenheim Securities deemed relevant in evaluating the Reorganized Debtors and reviewed the trading multiples for such publicly traded companies; and

 

   

conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as Guggenheim Securities deemed appropriate.

In connection with performing its Valuation Analysis, Guggenheim Securities:

 

   

based its Valuation Analysis on various assumptions, including assumptions concerning general economic, business and capital markets conditions and industry-specific and company-specific factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and Guggenheim Securities;

 

   

performed a variety of financial analyses and considered a variety of factors in assessing the estimated Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors;

 

   

did not form a view or opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor, whether positive or negative, considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its estimate of the Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors;

 

   

considered the results of all of its financial analyses (including the principal valuation analyses described below) and did not attribute any particular weight to any one analysis or factor; and

 

   

ultimately arrived at its estimate of the Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors based on the results of the financial analyses assessed as a whole and believes that the totality of the factors considered and the various financial analyses performed by Guggenheim Securities operated collectively to support its estimate of the Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors.

The following is a summary of the principal valuation analyses (commonly used by investment bankers and other financial advisor practitioners) that Guggenheim Securities performed and considered in estimating the Total Enterprise Value of the Reorganized Debtors: (i) Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and (ii) Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis involves estimating a subject company’s “intrinsic value” based on the sum of the present values of its (i) projected/forecasted annual unlevered after-tax free cash flows during an explicit projection/forecast period and (ii) estimated terminal/continuing value beyond the explicit projection/forecast horizon. Guggenheim Securities typically estimates the subject company’s terminal/continuing value by applying a range of assumed perpetual growth rates to the subject company’s projected/forecasted normalized unlevered after-tax free cash flow in the terminal year. The present values of such projected/forecasted annual unlevered after-tax free cash flows and estimated terminal/continuing value are then calculated by discounting them back to the present (i.e., in the case of the Reorganized Debtors, to the assumed Effective Date) based on the subject company’s estimated weighted average cost of capital. In connection with its Valuation Analysis, Guggenheim Securities based its Discounted Cash Flow Analysis on the Financial Projections for the Reorganized Debtors.

Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis

Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis involves estimating a subject company’s stand-alone fully distributed public market trading value based on both qualitative and quantitative reviews and analyses of the subject company versus certain publicly traded companies which are deemed to be reasonably comparable to the subject company. Among other things, such quantitative analyses typically include calculating various prevailing public market trading valuation multiples (based on various financial metrics considered appropriate given the subject company’s and its peer group’s industry or sector) and then applying such public market trading valuation multiples in the context of the subject company’s historical and projected/forecasted financial performance.

With respect to its Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis related to the Reorganized Debtors, Guggenheim Securities notes that none of the selected publicly traded companies used in the Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis is identical or directly comparable to the Reorganized Debtors; however, such companies were selected by Guggenheim Securities, among other reasons, because they represented publicly traded companies which may be considered broadly similar, for purposes of Guggenheim Securities’ financial analyses, to the Reorganized Debtors based on Guggenheim Securities’ familiarity with the specialty pharmaceutical and specialty generics sectors primarily based in the United States. In any event, the Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis is not mathematical; rather, such analysis involves complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in business, operating, financial and capital markets-related characteristics and other factors regarding the selected publicly traded companies to which the Reorganized Debtors were compared.

THE SUMMARY SET FORTH ABOVE DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE FINANCIAL ANALYSES PERFORMED BY GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES. GUGGENHEIM SECURITIES’ PREPARATION OF ITS VALUATION ANALYSIS INVOLVED VARIOUS COMPLEX DETERMINATIONS AND JUDGMENTS AS TO THE MOST APPROPRIATE AND RELEVANT METHODS OF VALUATION ANALYSIS AND THE APPLICATION OF THESE METHODS IN THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND, THEREFORE, SUCH ANALYSES ARE NOT READILY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SUMMARY DESCRIPTION.
