(1) | Includes tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offers, as of the Early Delivery Time, of (a) approximately $5.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 4.875% 2020 Notes in exchange for approximately $4.3 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes, (b) approximately $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 5.750% 2022 Notes in exchange for approximately $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes, (c) approximately $7.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 4.750% 2023 Notes in exchange for approximately $2.7 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes, (d) approximately $46.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 5.625% 2023 Notes in exchange for approximately $19.5 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes, and (e) approximately $82.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 5.500% 2025 Notes in exchange for approximately $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes. |
As of the Early Delivery Time, Mallinckrodt plc has not received the requisite consents from the holders of any series of Existing Notes that was the subject of a Consent Solicitation to amend (such amendments, the “Proposed Amendments”) the indenture governing such series of the Existing Notes (such indentures, the “Existing Indentures”) to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants under the Existing Indentures, modify or eliminate certain other provisions of the Existing Indentures, and waive certain defaults and events of default, if any, under the Existing Indentures.
Eligible Holders who did not tender at or prior to the Early Delivery may still tender Existing Notes in the Exchange Offers until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 4, 2019 (the “Expiration Time”), unless the Exchange Offers are extended or earlier terminated. Tenders may not be withdrawn after the Early Delivery Time, unless required by law.
As set forth in the Issuers' confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated November 5, 2019 (the "Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement"), for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes tendered after the Early Delivery Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time, Eligible Holders will receive the following consideration:
|
| |
Existing Notes to be Exchanged | Principal Amount of New Notes to be Delivered |
Existing 4.875% 2020 Notes | $800 |
Existing 5.750% 2022 Notes | $425 |
Existing 4.750% 2023 Notes | $320 |
Existing 5.625% 2023 Notes | $375 |
Existing 5.500% 2025 Notes | $375 |
We currently expect that the settlement date on which we will deliver the New Notes to participating Eligible Holders and to the Exchanging Holders will be December 6, 2019. The New Notes will be secured by a second lien security interest in all collateral that currently secures Mallinckrodt plc’s senior secured credit facilities (subject to certain exceptions described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement). The New Notes will be guaranteed by each entity that currently guarantees Mallinckrodt plc’s senior secured credit facilities (subject to certain exceptions described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement). The New Notes will accrue interest from the date of issuance. Eligible Holders will receive a cash payment for any amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes.
Each Exchange Offer and corresponding Consent Solicitation for a series of Existing Notes is being made independently of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for the other series of Existing Notes and is not conditioned upon the completion of any of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. The Issuers reserve the right to terminate, withdraw or amend each Exchange Offer or Consent Solicitation without also terminating, withdrawing or amending any of the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. The consummation of each Exchange Offer and corresponding Consent Solicitation is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, as described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement.
The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state or foreign securities laws. The New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are only being made to persons who certify that they are (a) “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) are not, and are not acting on behalf of, a “U.S. person” as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act (such persons, “Eligible Holders”). As such, documents relating to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will only be distributed to holders of Existing Notes who complete and return an eligibility letter (“Eligibility Letter”) confirming that they are Eligible Holders of Existing Notes.
The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, copies of which may be obtained by Eligible Holders by contacting D.F. King Co., Inc., the exchange agent and information agent in connection with the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, at: (866) 356-7814 (toll free) or: (212) 269-5550 (bankers and brokers call collect) or email at mnk@dfking.com. The Eligibility Letter is available electronically at: www.dfking.com/mnk. A copy of the Exchange Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Mallinckrodt with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2019.
