Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the settlements described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Mallinckrodt plc, an Irish public limited company (“Mallinckrodt”) provided certain materials regarding Mallinckrodt to certain creditors of Mallinckrodt and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”). A copy of the materials provided to these lenders is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein 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.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Mallinckrodt on June 24, 2021, Mallinckrodt has 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”) in the cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) of the Debtors 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”).

On September 2, 2021, Mallinckrodt reached agreements in principle with (1) the Governmental Plaintiff Ad Hoc Committee (the “GAHC”), the Multi-State Governmental Entities Group (the “MSGE Group”) and the Official Committee of Opioid Related Claimants appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “OCC” and, together with the GAHC and the MSGE Group, the “Opioid Claimants”), (2) the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “UCC”) and (3) holders (the “Settling Second Lien Noteholders”) of more than two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the 10.000% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) issued by Mallinckrodt’s subsidiaries Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. and Mallinckrodt CB LLC and the trustee for the Second Lien Notes (the “Second Lien Notes Trustee”), in each case relating to the treatment of certain claims pursuant to the Proposed Plan, as it shall be amended to conform to such agreements in principle (the “Amended Plan”).

Opioid Settlement

Pursuant to the agreement in principle with the Opioid Claimants (the “Amended Opioid Settlement”), the Amended Plan shall not provide for the assignment of any Additional Insurance Rights (as defined in the Proposed Plan) to the trust to be established for the benefit of the holders of opioid claims (the “Opioid Trust”) and the Debtors shall be permitted to offer and negotiate full mutual releases with certain co-defendants. In addition, (1) the Debtors will make an additional $125 million contribution in cash to the Opioid Trust on the eighth anniversary of the effective date of the Amended Plan, increasing the aggregate cash contributions to the Opioid Trust pursuant to the Amended Plan to $1.725 billion, (2) the Debtors will contribute, in addition to the other assets set forth in the Proposed Plan, 50% of the Debtors’ interest in certain claims arising from the Debtors 2015-2018 share repurchase program and (3) holders of opioid claims shall receive a release from the Debtors and certain other parties.

The Opioid Settlement further provides that the terms of the Debtors’ option to prepay the cash contributions to the Opioid Trust shall be modified, including to extend the Debtors’ right to prepay such claims at a specified discount until 18 months (from 12 months) after the effective date of the Amended Plan, and that the terms of the New Opioid Warrants (as defined in the Proposed Plan) shall be modified so as to be exercisable for six years from the Effective Date of the Amended Plan in all cases. Finally, the Debtors and the Opioid Claimants have agreed in principle on the covenants to be set forth in the Opioid Deferred Cash Payments Terms (as defined in the Proposed Plan).

As a result of the Amended Opioid Settlement, the OCC will support the Amended Plan and the GAHC and the MSGE Group will reaffirm their previously agreed support for the Amended Plan.

The foregoing summary of the Amended Opioid Settlement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the term sheet governing the Opioid Settlement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference. Such term sheet is itself a summary of the terms of the Amended Opioid Settlement, does not necessarily contain all terms of the Amended Opioid Settlement and is not binding on the Debtors or the other parties described therein.

UCC Settlement

Pursuant to the agreement in principle with the UCC (the “UCC Settlement”), the Amended Plan shall provide for the establishment of a trust for the benefit of the holders of general unsecured claims against the Debtors (the “GUC Trust”), into which the Debtors shall contribute the following: (1) $135 million in cash (in lieu of the treatment currently set forth in the Proposed Plan); (2) certain preference actions; (3) $20 million in cash contingent upon both (A) the receipt of regulatory approval of Terlivaz by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and (B) reaching $100 million of cumulative net sales of Terlivaz; (4) all avoidance actions arising out of the acquisition of Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. against selling shareholders; (5) 50% of the Debtors’ interest in certain claims arising from the Debtors 2015-2018 share repurchase program; (6) all proceeds of the Debtors’ 63% ownership interest in the priority review voucher related to VTS-270 and (7) 35% of the proceeds of a sale of Debtors’ priority review voucher related to Stratagraft.

As a result of the UCC Settlement, the UCC will support the Amended Plan.

The foregoing summary of the UCC Settlement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the term sheet governing the UCC Settlement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference. Such term sheet is itself a summary of the terms of the UCC Settlement, does not necessarily contain all terms of the UCC Settlement and is not binding on the Debtors or the other parties described therein.

Second Lien Notes Settlement

Pursuant to the agreement in principle with the Settling Second Lien Noteholders and the Second Lien Trustee (the “Second Lien Notes Settlement”), the holders of Second Lien Notes shall receive pursuant to the Plan new 10.000% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2025 that will have the same principal amount and other economic terms as the Second Lien Notes, but shall have covenants substantially equivalent to those set forth in the Takeback Second Lien Notes Indenture (as defined in the Proposed Plan). The Debtors shall also pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Settling Second Lien Noteholders, the Second Lien Trustee and the collateral agent for the Second Lien Notes.

As a result of the Second Lien Notes Settlement, the Settling Second Lien Noteholders have confirmed that they will vote in favor of the Amended Plan.

The foregoing summary of the Second Lien Notes Settlement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the term sheet governing the Second Lien Notes Settlement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.

These factors include risks and uncertainties related to Mallinckrodt’s business are identified and described in more detail in Part I, Item 1A.

The forward-looking statements made herein speak only as of the date hereof and Mallinckrodt does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures When the Company provides its expectation for adjusted net sales and adjusted EBITDA 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 net sales and adjusted EBITDA, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. Adjusted net sales represents net sales prepared in accordance with GAAP adjusted to remove the impact of the significant legal and environmental charge related to the Medicaid lawsuit and foreign currency fluctuations. 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. Consolidated 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. When the Company provides its expectation for adjusted net sales and adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures 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, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, 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. 2SUBJECT 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 Mallinckrodt’s businesses, 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.

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.

Exhibit 99.3

As of the Plan Effective Date, the GUC Trust will be formed and shall receive the GUC Trust Consideration as set forth in the GUC Settlement Term Sheet. All GUC Claims shall automatically, and without further act, deed, or court order, be assumed by the GUC Trust and all of Mallinckrodt’s liability for GUC Claims shall be assumed by, the GUC Trust as more fully set forth in the GUC Settlement Term Sheet. Each GUC Claim shall be resolved in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the GUC Settlement Term Sheet and the GUC Trust Documents.

Mallinckrodt GUC Settlement Term Sheet

This GUC Settlement Term Sheet, by and among the Debtors and the Supporting Parties, describes the proposed treatment of GUC Claims to be incorporated in the Restructuring contemplated by the Plan as well as certain related implementation and other matters (collectively, the “GUC Settlement”). This GUC 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 GUC Settlement Term Sheet have the meanings assigned in the Plan, as applicable.

This GUC 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 GUC Settlement and broader restructuring of claims against and interests in the Debtors, which remain subject to negotiation among the parties.

GUC SETTLEMENT TERMS

 

Overview / Plan Support   

The GUC Settlement will be implemented through the Plan, as amended as appropriate, consistent with the terms of (a) this GUC Settlement Term Sheet, and (b) Restructuring Support Agreement (including all exhibits thereto). The GUC Settlement shall constitute a compromise and settlement of all disputed issues between and among the Parties relating to the Plan.

 

In consideration of the compromises and settlements set forth herein, the UCC will (i) support the Plan and (ii) encourage all holders of GUC Claims entitled to vote on the Plan to vote in favor of the Plan (including by transmitting to holders of GUC Claims a letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parties supporting the Plan), in each case, so long as the Plan and any related Definitive Documents are not inconsistent with this GUC Settlement. 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 UCC’s prior letter regarding the Plan shall be removed from such website.

 

The Plan will provide for the establishment of the GUC Trust, which will receive the GUC Trust Consideration (as defined below) and such other consideration it may obtain post-emergence from third-parties subject to the reasonable consent right of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable. All GUC Claims will be deemed assumed by the GUC Trust and be discharged, released, and enjoined as to the Debtors and the other Released Parties. The GUC Trust will be solely responsible for any and all costs, expenses, fees, taxes, disbursements, debts or obligations incurred from the operation and administration of the GUC Trust.


Treatment / Reconciliation of GUC Claims   

As of the Plan Effective Date, Mallinckrodt’s liability for all GUC Claims shall automatically, and without further act, deed, or court order, be assumed by the GUC Trust, as described herein. Each GUC Claim shall be resolved in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the GUC Trust Documents; provided, that allocations of the GUC Trust Consideration (as defined below) and distributions on account of GUC Claims shall satisfy the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules; provided, further, that any settlement that results in allowance of any Acthar Claims shall require the reasonable consent of the Debtors and shall not include any direct or indirect admission of fault or liability as to Mallinckrodt or any Released Party and shall not include any terms that allow for, establish, or tend to establish any legal or factual predicate for postpetition or post- emergence claims, liabilities, or obligations, including as to any form of legal or equitable relief, against Mallinckrodt or any Released Party; provided, further, that the Debtors shall have the right to control the defense of and settle, with the reasonable consent of and at the expense of the GUC Trust, Acthar Claims to the extent such Claims are the subject of litigation.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) all administrative, secured, and priority claims, including any GUC Claim where a portion thereof is asserted to be an administrative, secured, or priority claim and (b) any GUC Claim seeking injunctive relief, shall be resolved by the Debtors in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the Plan; provided, however, that if such GUC Claim is later determined not to be an administrative, secured, or priority claim, or any request for injunctive relief has been dismissed, such GUC Claim shall be resolved by the GUC Trust in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the GUC Trust Documents and shall be controlled by the GUC Trustee, with the reasonable consent of the Debtors.

 

On the GUC Trust Settlement Date, the Debtors shall agree to forbear from (a) filing additional objections to GUC Claims, (b) prosecuting the Second Omnibus Claims Objection [D.I. 3189]; Third Omnibus Claims Objection [D.I. 3190]; and Fourth Omnibus Claims Objection [D.I. 3191], and (c) deeming any Claims to be allowed Claims without the UCC’s consent; provided, however, that: (x) forbearance would not impact or hinder, in the Debtors’ discretion, (i) the Debtors’ ability to confirm the Plan or (ii) the Reorganized Debtors; and (y) the UCC agrees to the terms set forth herein and agrees to support the Plan.

 

The GUC Trust shall be funded in accordance with the provisions of this Term Sheet. The sole recourse of any GUC Claimant on account of such GUC Claim shall be to the GUC Trust, and each such GUC Claimant shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert its GUC Claim against any Released Party.


  

 

For the avoidance of doubt, allowed Asbestos Late Claims shall be included in the definition of GUC Claims, but Asbestos Claims shall be excluded from the GUC Trust.

Treatment of Generics Price Fixing Claims    Pursuant to the UCC Settlement Implementation (defined below), in full and final satisfaction of the Generics Price Fixing Claims, in lieu participating in the claims reconciliation process, holders of Generics Price Fixing Claims shall receive their pro rata share of $8 million to be paid from the GUC Trust cash payment by the GUC Trust, based on estimated claim amounts, to be paid to holders of Generics Price Fixing Claims on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter.

As of the Plan Effective Date, the Debtors’ liability, if any, for all Asbestos Claims timely filed by the February 16, 2021 at 4:00 pm (et) bar date shall automatically, and without further act, deed, or court order, be assumed by the Asbestos Trust, as described herein. For the avoidance of doubt, litigations concerning asbestos commenced against the Debtors after the Effective Date will be addressed by the Reorganized Debtors; provided, that, this does not affect the Asbestos Trust’s obligation to resolve Asbestos Late Claims.

 

Each Asbestos Claim shall be resolved in accordance with the terms, provisions, and procedures of the Asbestos Trust Documents; provided, that allocations of the Asbestos Trust Consideration and distributions on account of Asbestos Claims shall satisfy the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules. The Asbestos Claims shall be excluded from the Treatment of GUC Claims and shall be exclusively resolved through the Asbestos Trust. Asbestos Late Claims will be resolved by the GUC Trust. On the Effective Date, the Asbestos Trust shall be established, and the Asbestos Trustee shall be appointed, as selected by the UCC in consultation with the Debtors.

 

Pursuant to the UCC Settlement Implementation (defined below), the Asbestos Trust Consideration shall be $18 million, to be paid from the GUC Trust cash payment by the GUC Trust to the Asbestos Trust, payable as follows:

 

•  The initial cash payment shall be $[] million payable on the Effective Date; and


  

•  The remaining cash payment shall be provided within 90 days of the Effective Date.

 

The Asbestos Cost Sharing Agreement and the Asbestos Insurance Policies shall be excluded from the Asbestos Trust and remain with the Reorganized Debtors. The Asbestos Trustee shall be responsible for management and distribution of the Asbestos Trust Consideration, including the resolution of the Asbestos Claims.

 

After the Debtors’ contributions to the Asbestos Trust set forth above have been made in full, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain all proceeds of any Asbestos Insurance Policies, including those that are part of the Asbestos Cost Sharing Agreement. To the extent the Asbestos Trustee comes into possession of any proceeds of Asbestos Insurance Policies, the Asbestos Trust shall turn such proceeds over to the reorganized Debtors, and if for any reason the Asbestos Trust is required to pursue any such proceeds, it shall do so at the sole cost and expense of the reorganized Debtors. In the event of any default of the Debtors’ contribution obligations set forth above, the Asbestos Trustee shall be deemed to have succeeded to the Debtors rights as the insured under the Asbestos Cost Sharing Agreement and any and all Asbestos Insurance Policies, and may pursue and retain such insurance proceeds for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Asbestos Trust.

 

At no point will the Asbestos Trust Consideration be commingled with the GUC Trust Consideration on or after the Effective Date. Prior to the Effective Date, the Asbestos Trust Documents shall be filed.

Tax Matters1   

The GUC Settlement and the Asbestos 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 GUC Claimants and Asbestos Claimants, including with respect to the tax classification of the GUC Trust and Asbestos Trust, respectively.

 

The GUC Trust and the Asbestos Trust will be treated as a qualified settlement funds for tax purposes.

GUC Trust Documents    The GUC Trust Documents will comply with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code. The material terms of the GUC Trust Documents will be described in a Plan Supplement and forms of the GUC Trust Documents shall be included in the Plan Supplement, with such summaries and forms of documents to be reasonably acceptable to the UCC and the Debtors.
GUC Assigned Preference Claims and Assigned Sucampo Avoidance Claims Cooperation   

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases and after the Plan Effective Date, the Debtors shall cooperate with professionals retained by the UCC or the GUC Trust, as applicable, in connection with the investigation and preservation of the Assigned Preference Claims and Assigned Sucampo Avoidance Claims, including by providing non-privileged information (including, without limitation, documents, emails and access to individuals with information), at the request of professionals retained by the UCC or the GUC Trust.

NOT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mallinckrodt Reaches Settlements with the Official Committee of Opioid Related Creditors, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and Second Lien Noteholders

Company to File Amended Plan of Reorganization to Incorporate Terms

Company Anticipates Commencing its Confirmation Hearing in September 2021

DUBLIN, Ireland, September 3, 2021 – Mallinckrodt plc (OTCMKTS: MNKKQ) (“Mallinckrodt” or the “Company”) today announced that it has reached an agreement with the Official Committee of Opioid Related Creditors (the “OCC”) and the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) Parties to support an amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Amended Plan”), which the Company will file in the coming days. The agreement with the OCC follows recently announced agreements to support the Amended Plan that Mallinckrodt reached with the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in its Chapter 11 cases (the “UCC”) and certain of Mallinckrodt’s second lien noteholders. The terms of all three settlements were filed today with the Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K.

Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mallinckrodt, said, “With this additional support, we are continuing to build consensus for our restructuring plan, which addresses litigation claims, reduces debt and positions the Company for the long term. The support of these important stakeholder groups reinforces our confidence that this is the best path forward for Mallinckrodt and its creditors, enabling us to preserve value while continuing to serve our customers and patients, support employees and work with our suppliers and other partners. As we continue to make important progress in this process, we remain committed to developing new therapies, improving patient health outcomes and supporting underserved patients with severe and critical conditions.”

The Amended Plan is based on the Company’s previously announced the RSA and includes key legal settlements that resolve, among other claims, opioid claims brought against the Company. The Amended Plan and RSA provide for a financial restructuring designed to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and reduce its total debt by approximately $1.3 billion.1 Implementing the Amended Plan and RSA will significantly improve Mallinckrodt’s financial position and resolves the numerous lawsuits facing the Company, enabling the Company to continue executing its strategic priorities and developing and commercializing therapies that improve health outcomes.

The Amended Plan is now supported by:

 

   

Holders of approximately 84% of the Company’s guaranteed unsecured notes;

 

   

An ad hoc group of first lien term lenders holding approximately $1.3 billion of the Company’s outstanding first lien term loans;

 

   

50 states and territories and the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in the opioid multidistrict litigation, which will recommend that more than 1,000 plaintiffs in multi-district litigation against the Company support the Amended Plan and RSA;

 

   

The Multi-State Governmental Entities Group (the “MSGE Group”), which represents more than 1,300 counties, municipalities, tribes and other governmental entities, across 38 states and territories, with opioid-related litigation against the Company;

 

   

An ad hoc group of second lien noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding second lien notes;

 

1 

Excluding a previously disclosed 2020 excess cash flow sweep of approximately $114 million to First Lien Term Loan Lenders.

 

1


   

The UCC; and

 

   

The OCC.

The UCC and the OCC are recommending that the constituents they represent, which include all of the Company’s unsecured creditors and opioid plaintiffs, vote in favor of the Plan.

The Bankruptcy Court will hold a confirmation hearing to consider approval of the Plan, which will commence in September 2021. If the Amended Plan is confirmed, the Company intends to file an examinership proceeding in Ireland to effectuate the reorganization in Ireland, which the Company expects may take approximately 90-150 days.
