Item 8.01Other Events

 

Strategic Review of Non-Core Assets

 

On October 1, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company had retained a financial advisor to assist with a strategic review of assets that are non-core to the Company’s long-term strategy.  The Company further disclosed in this press release that it had undertaken a strategic review of these non-core assets in response to inbound interest and evolving market conditions in respect of these non-core assets.  In the press release, Jason Grenfell-Gardner, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, noted that exploring options to monetize certain of these non-core assets was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. While the Company will make any determination at the applicable time, the Company’s potential use of proceeds from the sale of these non-core assets would include the repayment of its secured indebtedness and general corporate and working capital purposes. Prior to the initiation of such review, the Company received unsolicited, preliminary, non-binding offers of $60 million for a portion of the Company’s U.S. portfolio of topical products and up to $45 million for certain foreign assets.  The Company carefully evaluates the merits of any unsolicited offer it receives, but the Company is not currently positioned to offer any additional updates on the process of its strategic review of any non-core assets or any specific offers or discussions. There can be no assurances that the Company will pursue any unsolicited, preliminary, non-binding offer, and there can be no assurance that, even if the Company were to pursue any such offer, it would be able to complete a transaction on such terms or at all.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide any updates with respect to any specific offer or any other matter related to the strategic review of its non-core assets, except to the extent required under applicable law. 

 

Highbridge Capital Management

 

On October 24, 2019, the Company received a letter on behalf of Highbridge Capital Management, LLC as trading manager for Highbridge Tactical Credit Management Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Highbridge”), a significant bondholder of the Company, in which, among other things, Highbridge reviewed its discussions with the Company regarding a potential financing transaction and expressed concern that such transaction would disadvantage Highbridge and other existing bondholders.  Highbridge expressed a desire to find a mutually beneficial solution but indicated that it would be willing to exercise its creditors rights, including in an organized fashion with other bondholders.  The Company believes Highbridge’s concerns are without merit and, should any claims be made, intends to defend them vigorously.
