Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 12, 2020, Mallinckrodt plc (“Mallinckrodt” or the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries voluntarily initiated proceedings (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The entities that filed the Chapter 11 Cases include the Company, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, including its specialty generics-focused subsidiaries (collectively, “Specialty Generics”) and specialty brands-related subsidiaries (collectively, “Specialty Brands”), and certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries (together with the Company, Specialty Generics and Specialty Brands, the “Debtors”). On June 24, 2021, Mallinckrodt commenced a solicitation of a proposed Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Mallinckrodt plc and Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated as of June 18, 2021 (the “Proposed Plan”) the Chapter 11 Cases.

On October 26, 2021, the Debtors anticipate filing with the Bankruptcy Court a brief in support of the confirmation of the Proposed Plan and reply to objection filed thereto, which will discuss an update to the Debtors’ financial projections through the fiscal year ending December 26, 2025 (the “Refreshed Projections”). The Refreshed Projections were developed in September 2021 by the Debtors’ management team as a limited update to account for observations and performance since the Company’s strategic plan that was developed in January 2021, which was included as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 10, 2021. The Refreshed Projections were prepared on a “top-down” basis, addressing only those products where material changes impact Mallinckrodt’s business during the time period covered by the Refreshed Projections as well as certain cost assumptions. A summary of the Refreshed Projections and the methodology and assumptions used therein are furnished herein as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

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

SUBJECT TO FRE 408, STATE LAW EQUIVALENTS Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals: Refresh of 2021 Strategic Plan September 2021

SUBJECT TO FRE 408, STATE LAW EQUIVALENTS Disclaimers Cautionary Statements Related to Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this document that are not strictly historical, including statements regarding future financial condition and operating results, legal, economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting the businesses of Mallinckrodt plc (“Mallinckrodt”), and any other statements regarding events or developments the company believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, may be “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

SUBJECT TO FRE 408, STATE LAW EQUIVALENTS Disclaimers Non-GAAP Financial Measures When the Company provides its expectation for adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. This document contains financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and free cash flow, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. Adjusted EBITDA represents amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP and adjusts for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss), adjusted for interest expense, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business and additional adjustments. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, net; non-restructuring impairment charges; inventory step-up expense; discontinued operations; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; significant legal and environmental charges; divestitures; separation costs; gain on debt extinguishment, net; unrealized gain on equity investment; research & development upfront payments; reorganization items, net; share-based compensation and other items identified by the Company. Net debt represents the total principal debt outstanding less cash, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided these adjusted financial measures because they are used by management, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the company’s operating performance. In addition, the Company believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt’s operating results. Management believes that presenting these adjusted measures provides useful information about the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. When the Company provides its expectation for adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected net income, total principal debt outstanding, cash, operating cash flow and capital expenditures) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. This non-GAAP information should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. 2 2
