TERMS OF THE GLOBAL OPIOID SETTLEMENT
Overview / Plan Support

The Global Opioid Settlement shall constitute a compromise and settlement of all disputed issues between and among the Parties relating to the Plan including, among other things, the Additional Insurance Rights and scope of Assigned Third-Party Claims related to Co-Defendant Claims.

 

In consideration of the compromises and settlements set forth herein, (a) the OCC will (i) support the Plan and (ii) encourage all holders of Opioid Claims entitled to vote on the Plan to vote in favor of the Plan (including by transmitting to holders of Opioid Claims a letter supporting the Plan), in each case, so long as the Plan and any related Definitive Documents are not inconsistent with this Global Opioid Settlement and (b) the GAHC and MSGE Group each reaffirm their obligations under the Restructuring Support Agreement (as expressly modified hereby). Such letter shall also be filed on the docket of the Debtors’ bankruptcy case and be made available on the Debtors’ restructuring website and the OCC’s website, and the OCC’s prior letter regarding the Plan shall be removed from such websites. The OCC shall take an active role in defending the Plan, including, among other things, presenting evidence and filing pleadings, as necessary, to support both the settlement as well as the value allocated to non-opioid creditors.

•   50% of the Debtors’ interest in any Claims and Causes of Action against present or former shareholders that are not Released Parties arising from the Debtors’ share repurchase program between 2015-2018 (the “Share Repurchase Claims”); and the Opioid MDT II shall control the decision–making, prosecution, settlement, monetization, and ultimate disposition of such Share Repurchase Claims (it being understood and agreed that any such settlement, monetization, or disposition cannot treat holders of such interests in such Share Repurchase Claims inconsistently without such holders’ consent or, if applicable, without

New Opioid Warrants Terms    The terms of the New Opioid Warrants shall be modified to provide that they are exercisable through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date (regardless of whether the Reorganized Debtors exercise the Prepayment Option and prepay the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments in full), instead of being exercisable (i) at any time on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) through and including the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date if the Reorganized Debtors exercise the Prepayment Option and prepay the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments in full.

Co-Defendant Indemnity Releases / Assigned Third-Party Claims   

The Debtors will designate the holders of Co-Defendant Claims with alleged contractual indemnity rights against the Debtors to which the Debtors will offer and negotiate full mutual releases (including full releases by Released Co-Defendants of all claims against any Opioid Insurance Policies transferred to the Opioid MDT II, irrespective of whether such Released Co-Defendants may be insured under such insurance policies) as of the Effective Date (the “Released Co-Defendants”), which holders shall be disclosed to the Supporting Parties and the OCC.
