Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.03

Bankruptcy or Receivership

Chapter 11 Filing

On August 16, 2022, Endo International plc, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Endo,” or the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors have filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administration of their chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure under the caption In re Endo International plc, et al. The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. To ensure their ability to continue operating in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors have also filed with the Bankruptcy Court a variety of motions seeking “first day” relief, including the authority to continue using their cash management system, pay employee wages and benefits and pay vendors in the ordinary course of business.

Restructuring Support Agreement

On August 16, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with an ad hoc group (the “Ad Hoc First Lien Group”) of certain creditors holding in excess of 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Secured Debt (as defined in that certain Collateral Trust Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2017, among Endo International plc, Endo Luxembourg Finance Company I S.à r.l., Endo LLC, Endo Designated Activity Company, Endo Finance LLC, Endo Finco Inc., the other grantors from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral trustee (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”)), pursuant to which, among other things, one or more entities formed in a manner acceptable to the Ad Hoc First Lien Group (the “Stalking Horse Bidder” or the “Purchaser”) will serve as stalking horse bidder as the Company seeks to sell all or substantially all of its assets in a sale pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Restructuring Support Agreement contemplates a marketing process and auction that will be conducted under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court. If the Stalking Horse Bidder’s bid is selected following said marketing process and auction, the Ad Hoc First Lien Group will direct the Collateral Trustee (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) to assign its rights to credit bid, on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), to the Stalking Horse Bidder, so as to enable the Stalking Horse Bidder to credit bid for all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in exchange for the extinguishment of the obligations to the Secured Parties, which obligations hold a face value in excess of $5.8 billion. The Restructuring Support Agreement further contemplates that the Purchaser will fund one or more trusts for parties with opioid-related claims against the Company.

The foregoing description of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the transactions and documents contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restructuring Support Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Incentive and Retention Program

On August 11, 2022, Endo International plc (the “Company”) entered into a retention and incentive agreement with each of the Company’s named executive officers (the “Participants”). The retention and incentive program provides for the prepayment of 2023 short- and long-term target incentive compensation (the “2023 Awards”), subject to a clawback as further described below.

 


The amounts paid pursuant to the program must generally be repaid by a Participant if the Participant voluntarily resigns employment without good reason or is terminated for cause prior to (i) with respect to sixty percent (60%) of the 2023 Awards, December 31, 2023 and (ii) with respect to forty percent (40%) of the 2023 Awards, March 1, 2024 (the “Performance-Based Component”). In addition, up to the whole amount of the Performance-Based Component must be repaid if certain pre-established financial and operational targets are not satisfied. If such pre-established financial and operational targets are satisfied above the target level of performance, each named executive officer will also be eligible to receive an additional bonus of up to forty percent (40%) of his 2023 Award, based on the level of overachievement, subject to his continued employment through March 1, 2024.

The amounts paid pursuant to this program include the following payments to the following named executive officers, in respect of the 2023 Awards: (i) $11,850,000 for Blaise Coleman, President and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) $3,465,743 for Mark Bradley, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, (iii) $3,517,470 for Matthew J. Maletta, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Company Secretary, and (iv) $3,258,833 for Patrick Barry, Executive Vice President and President, Global Commercial Operations.

On July 15, 2022, the Company also prepaid an aggregate of $13,483,968 of incentive and retentive compensation to certain senior employees (none of whom were named executive officers) and approved retention awards totaling an aggregate of $17,995,859 for certain additional employees (but did not provide for prepayment of such amounts). All prepaid compensation is subject to clawback in the event that the applicable performance-based or time-based conditions are not met.

Employment Agreement Extension

In connection with the program, each of our named executive officers entered into an amendment to his employment agreement, which extended the term of each named executive officer’s existing employment agreement through March 31, 2024, so as not to expire during the program clawback period.

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 16, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Filings”).

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished herewith and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Information Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities.

The Company continues to face certain risks and uncertainties that have been affecting its business and operations, and these risks and uncertainties may affect the Company’s ability to enter into a sale transaction and could impact the outcome of the Chapter 11 Filings. Holders of the Company’s equity securities will likely be entitled to little or no recovery on their investment following the Chapter 11 Filings, and recoveries to other stakeholders cannot be determined at this time. The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities given the pendency of the Chapter 11 Filings is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual value realized, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Filings. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.

 


Forward-looking statements

Certain information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation, including, but not limited to, statements with respect to the restructuring support agreement and the sale transaction, the Chapter 11 proceedings and recognition proceedings, and any other statements that refer to our expected, estimated or anticipated future results or that do not relate solely to historical facts. Statements including words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” “look forward,” “intend,” “guidance,” “future,” “potential” or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this communication reflect Endo’s current views as of the date of this communication about its plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to it and on assumptions it has made. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from current expectations based on a number of factors, including, among other things, the following: the outcome of our contingency planning and restructuring activities; the timing, impact or results of any pending or future litigation, investigations, proceedings or claims, including opioid, tax and antitrust related matters; actual or contingent liabilities; settlement discussions or negotiations; the Company’s liquidity, financial performance, cash position and operations; the Company’s strategy; risks and uncertainties associated with Chapter 11 proceedings; the negative impacts on the Company’s businesses as a result of filing for and operating under Chapter 11 protection; the time, terms and ability to confirm a sale of the Company’s businesses under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; the adequacy of the capital resources of the Company’s businesses and the difficulty in forecasting the liquidity requirements of the operations of the Company’s businesses; the unpredictability of the Company’s financial results while in Chapter 11 proceedings; the Company’s ability to discharge claims in Chapter 11 proceedings; negotiations with the holders of the Company’s indebtedness and its trade creditors and other significant creditors; risks and uncertainties with performing under the terms of the restructuring support agreement and any other arrangement with lenders or creditors while in Chapter 11 proceedings; the Company’s ability to conduct business as usual; the Company’s ability to continue to serve customers, suppliers and other business partners at the high level of service and performance they have come to expect from the Company; the Company’s ability to continue to pay employees, suppliers and vendors; the ability to control costs during Chapter 11 proceedings; adverse litigation; the risk that the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases may be converted to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; the Company’s ability to secure operating capital; the Company’s ability to take advantage of opportunities to acquire assets with upside potential; the Company’s ability to execute on its strategic plan to pursue, evaluate and close an asset sale of the Company’s businesses pursuant to Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; the impact of competition, including the loss of exclusivity and generic competition for VASOSTRICT®; our ability to satisfy judgments or settlements or pursue appeals including bonding requirements; our ability to adjust to changing market conditions; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; our inability to maintain compliance with financial covenants and operating obligations which would expose us to potential events of default under our outstanding indebtedness; our ability to incur additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, business development, debt service requirements, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes; our ability to refinance our indebtedness; a significant reduction in our short-term or long-term revenues which could cause us to be unable to fund our operations and liquidity needs or repay indebtedness; supply chain interruptions or difficulties; changes in competitive or market conditions; changes in legislation or regulatory developments; our ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection for our intellectual property rights; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes, including regulatory decisions, product recalls, withdrawals and other unusual items; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment reforms, including government pricing, tax and reimbursement policies; technological advances and patents obtained by competitors; the performance, including the approval, introduction, and consumer and physician acceptance of new products and the continuing acceptance of currently marketed products; our ability to integrate any newly acquired products into our portfolio and achieve any financial or commercial expectations; the impact that known and unknown side effects may have on market perception and consumer preference for our products; the effectiveness of advertising and other promotional campaigns; the timely and successful implementation of any strategic initiatives; unfavorable publicity regarding the misuse of opioids; the uncertainty associated with the identification of and successful consummation and execution of external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions; our ability to advance our strategic priorities, develop our product pipeline and continue to develop the market for QWO® and other products; and our ability to obtain and successfully manufacture, maintain and distribute a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner. In addition, U.S. and international economic conditions, including consumer confidence and debt levels, taxation, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, international relations, capital and credit availability, the status of financial markets and institutions, the impact of and response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of continued economic volatility, can materially affect our results. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Endo expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required to do so by law.

(iii) The board of directors or other governing body of any Debtor determines in good faith after consultation with counsel that continued performance under this Agreement, the PSA, or the Definitive Documents (including taking any action or refraining from taking any action) would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

8. TRANSFER OF CLAIMS.

(a) Each Consenting First Lien Creditor agrees that, during the Restructuring Support Period, it shall not sell, transfer, loan, issue, pledge, hypothecate,1 assign, or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”, provided that any pledge, lien, security interest, or other encumbrance in favor of a bank or broker dealer at which a Consenting First Lien Creditor maintains an account, where such bank or broker dealer holds a security interest in or other encumbrances over property in the account generally shall not be deemed a “Transfer” for any purposes hereunder) any of its Claims or any option thereon or any right or interest therein or any other Claims against or interests in the Debtors at any time acquired or managed by such Consenting First Lien Creditor (collectively, the “Subject Claims”) (including, other than as set forth herein, grant any proxies, deposit any Subject Claims into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any such Subject Claims), unless the transferee thereof either (i) is a Consenting First Lien Creditor, in which case within five (5) Business Days of such Transfer the transferee shall provide written notice of such Transfer to Skadden (or to Gibson Dunn to give such notice to Skadden), which notice shall disclose the principal amount of Subject Claims transferred and identity of the Consenting First Lien Creditor who has transferred the Subject Claims to the transferee, or (ii) before such Transfer, agrees in writing for the benefit of the Parties to become a Consenting First Lien Creditor and to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Consenting First Lien Creditors (including with respect to any and all Subject Claims it already may hold against or in the Debtors before such Transfer) by executing a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Joinder Agreement”), and

 

1 

Provided that the prohibition with respect to pledges and hypothecations set forth in this Section 8(a) shall not apply with respect to any pledges or hypothecations that are granted as part of a collateralized loan obligation structure by any Consenting First Lien Creditor that is a collateralized loan obligation issuer or manager.

 

33


delivering an executed copy thereof within five (5) Business Days following such execution, to (A) Skadden and (B) Gibson Dunn (provided that if such transferee fails to timely deliver such notice of Transfer, the transferor may provide such notice, and any notice so delivered shall be deemed effective for purposes of this Section 8(a)), in which event (1) the transferee shall be deemed to be a Consenting First Lien Creditor hereunder to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations and all other Claims it may own or control, and (2) the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations, except for any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Transfer and any remedies with respect to such claim) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations. Each Consenting First Lien Creditor agrees that any Transfer of any Subject Claims that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth herein shall be deemed void ab initio, and each other Party shall have the right to enforce the voiding of such Transfer, provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any purchase, acquisition, or assumption by any Consenting First Lien Creditor of any Loans, First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, or Unsecured Notes, such Claims shall automatically be deemed to be subject to all the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Consenting First Lien Creditor may Transfer its Claims to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker become a Party; provided, however, that (i) the transferee of such Claims from the Qualified Marketmaker is or shall become a Consenting First Lien Creditor hereunder and comply in all respects with the terms of this Agreement (including executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement) and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that a Consenting First Lien Creditor, acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, acquires any Claims from a holder of such Claims that is not a Consenting First Lien Creditor, such Qualified Marketmaker may Transfer such Claims without the requirement that the transferee be or become a Consenting First Lien Creditor.

(c) Additional Subject Claims. Each Consenting First Lien Creditor agrees that if a Consenting First Lien Creditor acquires or owns additional Subject Claims (other than in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker), then without any further action such Subject Claims shall be subject to this Agreement (including the obligations of the Consenting First Lien Creditors under this Section 8).

(d) Forbearance. During the Restructuring Support Period, each Consenting First Lien Creditor agrees to forbear from the exercise of its rights (including any right of set-off) or remedies it may have under any of the Indentures, each other Notes Document, the Credit Agreement, each other Credit Document and any agreement contemplated thereby or executed in connection therewith, as applicable, and under applicable U.S. or non-U.S. law or otherwise, in each case, with respect to any breaches, defaults, events of defaults or potential defaults by the Debtors. Each Consenting First Lien Creditor specifically agrees that this Agreement constitutes a direction to the First Lien Notes Indenture Trustee, the First Lien Collateral Trustee, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to refrain from exercising any remedy available or power conferred to such Persons against the Debtors or any of its assets except as necessary to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, the Restructuring and/or the Sale. Further, the Debtors and each Consenting First Lien Creditor holding Loans (thereby comprising Required Lenders) agrees that this Agreement

 

34


constitutes a request and notice under Section 2.08(e) of the Credit Agreement that as of the Agreement Effective Date (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Borrowing of CDOR Loans and (ii) (A) each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (and any such Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be redenominated in Dollars, based on the Dollar Amounts thereof, at the time of such conversion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) each Borrowing of CDOR Loans shall be converted at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing (each capitalized term in this sentence not defined herein shall have the meaning therefor set forth in the Credit Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph (d) shall restrict or limit the Consenting First Lien Creditors, the First Lien Notes Indenture Trustee, the First Lien Collateral Trustee, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, the Unsecured Notes Indenture Trustee or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, from taking any action permitted or required to be taken hereunder for the purposes of the Restructuring.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on the Debtors to issue any “cleansing” letter or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling a Consenting First Lien Creditor to Transfer any Subject Claims.

9. DISCLOSURE; PUBLICITY. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Debtors shall submit drafts to Gibson Dunn of any press releases regarding the Restructuring or the Sale at least one (1) Business Day prior to making any such disclosure; provided that, the Debtors shall not include the name of any Consenting First Lien Creditor in a press release or any other public filing without the express written consent (email being sufficient) of such Consenting First Lien Creditor or as required by applicable law, rule, or regulation. Except as required by applicable law, rule, or regulation and notwithstanding any provision of any other agreement between the Debtors and such Consenting First Lien Creditor to the contrary, no Party or its advisors shall disclose to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting First Lien Creditor), other than advisors to the Debtors and the Ad Hoc First Lien Group, the principal amount or percentage of any Claims against the Debtors held by any Consenting First Lien Creditor without such Consenting First Lien Creditor’s prior written consent; provided that (a) if such disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or regulation, the disclosing Party shall afford the relevant Consenting First Lien Creditor a reasonable opportunity to review and comment before such disclosure and shall take commercially reasonable measures to limit such disclosure, (b) the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate percentage or aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans, First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, or Unsecured Notes held by all Consenting First Lien Creditors and (c) any Party may disclose information requested by a regulatory or self-regulatory authority with jurisdiction over its operations to such authority on a confidential basis without limitation or notice to any other Party. All signature pages executed by Consenting First Lien Creditors shall (a) to the extent delivered to other Consenting First Lien Creditors, be delivered in a redacted form that removes such Consenting First Lien Creditors’ beneficially owned outstanding principal amount of Loans, First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes, and Unsecured Notes, and (b) be delivered to the Debtors, Skadden, and the Debtors’ other advisors in an unredacted form, but which shall be held confidentially by such recipients to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including the Bankruptcy Code, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Consenting First Lien Creditor.

10. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (including any exhibits or schedules hereto) may not be waived, modified, amended, or supplemented except in a writing signed by the Debtors and the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors (with an email from Skadden and Gibson Dunn being sufficient with respect to each such party).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 10(a):

(i) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to Section 3(d)(vi), this Section 10 or the definitions of “Required Consenting First Lien Creditors” shall require the written consent of each Consenting First Lien Creditor and the Debtors; and

(ii) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement in a manner that has a material, disproportionate, and adverse effect on the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness held by, or rights or economic recoveries of, a Consenting First Lien Creditor or its treatment relative to the rights or economic recoveries or treatment of all other Consenting First Lien Creditors hereunder or as set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet shall require the prior written consent of such disproportionately and adversely affected Consenting First Lien Creditor to effectuate such modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver.

11. EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon the occurrence of the Agreement Effective Date.

12. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the Parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. The Parties irrevocably agree that any legal action, suit, or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Applicable Court, and the Parties hereby irrevocably and generally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Applicable Court with respect to any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Restructuring. The Parties agree not to commence any Proceeding relating hereto or thereto except in the Applicable Court. The Parties further agree that notice as provided in Section 23 shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to assert that a Proceeding in the Applicable Court is brought in an inconvenient forum, the venue of such Proceeding is improper, or that the Bankruptcy Court lacks authority to enter a final order pursuant to Article III of the United States Constitution.

 

36


(B) THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

13. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE/REMEDIES. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorneys’ fees and costs) as a remedy of any such breach, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no right or remedy described or provided in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Agreement, at law, or in equity. The Parties hereby waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties will be liable for, and none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover on the basis of anything in this Agreement, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits, in each case against any other Party to this Agreement.

14. SURVIVAL. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7, Sections 1, 1230 shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that any liability of a Party for failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

15. HEADINGS. The headings of the sections, paragraphs, and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.

16. NO WAIVER OF PARTICIPATION AND PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims, and defenses or any waiver of any rights such Party may have under any subordination or intercreditor agreement, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims, and defenses, except as expressly provided herein and subject to the transactions contemplated hereby.

17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and representatives; provided that nothing contained in this Section 17 shall be deemed to permit Transfers of any Claims other than in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Upon any such determination of invalidity, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effectuate the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

37


18. SEVERAL, NOT JOINT, OBLIGATIONS. The agreements, representations, and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

19. ACCESSION. After the date hereof, additional holders of Loans and/or First Lien Notes (which holders may also hold Second Lien Notes, or Unsecured Notes) may become Consenting First Lien Creditors by executing a Joinder Agreement and delivering such Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 23.

20. RELATIONSHIP AMONG PARTIES. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting First Lien Creditor has any fiduciary duty, duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Consenting First Lien Creditor, the Debtors, or any other stakeholder of the Debtors and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Definitive Document, there are no commitments among or between them. No Party shall have any responsibility for the transfer, sale, purchase, or other disposition of securities by any other entity (other than any beneficial owner with respect to which it has investment or voting discretion over such security) by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any securities of the Debtors and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

21. PRIOR NEGOTIATIONS; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto (including the Restructuring Term Sheet), constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all other prior negotiations regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof, except that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements executed between the Debtors and each Consenting First Lien Creditor before the execution of this Agreement and all intercreditor agreements shall continue in full force and effect.

22. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.

(b) Each Consenting First Lien Creditor acknowledges that it, or its advisors, has had an opportunity to receive information from the Debtors and that it has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Consenting First Lien Creditor with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.

25. NO ADMISSION. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence, and any other applicable Law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.

39


26. MAKE-WHOLE RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Neither this Agreement nor the Restructuring Term Sheet provide for the treatment of the Make-Whole Claims, and all Parties’ rights related thereto are fully reserved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that a Consenting First Lien Creditor may hold Loans, First Lien Notes, Second Lien Notes and/or Unsecured Notes and that the entry into this Agreement does not limit, waive, impair, or otherwise affect any Consenting First Lien Creditor’s right to negotiate for and seek allowance of, or to object to and seek disallowance of, any Make-Whole Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases or in connection with the Restructuring or the Sale. Nothing contained herein or in the Cash Collateral Order limits, waives, impairs, or otherwise affects the Debtors’ right to object to, or seek disallowance of, any Make-Whole Claims in the Chapter 11 Cases or in connection with the Restructuring or the Sale and any such actions taken in connection with defending or objecting to the Make-Whole Claims is not inconsistent with the Debtors’ obligations under this Agreement. Any settlement and/or compromise of any Make-Whole Claim shall be acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors, and any documents evidencing such settlement and/or compromise shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors.

27. FEES AND EXPENSES. The Debtors shall reimburse all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including success or completion fees) (regardless of whether such fees and expenses were incurred before or after the Petition Date and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable engagement letter or fee reimbursement letter with the Debtors, which agreements shall not be terminated by the Debtors before the termination of this Agreement) of the following professionals and advisors within eight (8) Business Days of the delivery to the Debtors of any invoice in respect thereto: (a) Gibson Dunn, (b) Evercore, and (c) FTI; provided that to the extent that the Debtors terminate this Agreement under Section 7(b), the Debtors’ reimbursement obligations under this Section 27 shall survive with respect to any and all such fees and expenses incurred on or prior to the Termination Date.

28. BUSINESS DAY CONVENTION. When a period of days under this agreement ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or any legal holiday as defined in Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a), then such period shall be extended to the specified hour of the next Business Day.

29. REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL. The Parties agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding, or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

30. FIDUCIARY DUTIES.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall require the Debtors or their subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their respective directors, managers, officers or members, as applicable (each in such person’s capacity as a director, manager, officer or member), to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent that taking such action or refraining from taking such action would be inconsistent with, or cause such party to breach, such party’s fiduciary obligations under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as required under applicable law, nothing in this Agreement shall create

 

40

As set forth in the Bidding Procedures, the following timeframes shall apply to a sale process unless otherwise agreed by the Debtors and the Required Holders:

 

•  The hearing for consideration of the Bidding Procedures Order shall be scheduled for the date that is 70 calendar days after the Petition Date;

 

•  The deadline to submit a non-binding indication of interest shall be scheduled for the date that is 120 calendar days after the Petition Date;

•  The hearing for consideration of the Sale Order shall be scheduled for the date that is 205 calendar days after the Petition Date, subject to potential acceleration as set forth in the Bidding Procedures.

 

The PSA will be filed with the Court no later than seven days before the objection deadline on the Bidding Procedures.

 

The Bidding Procedures will, among other things, provide that a Qualified Bid (as defined in the Bidding Procedures) must exceed the Stalking Horse Bid and, taking into account both the Bidder Cash Purchase Price (as defined in the Bidding Procedures) and any cash to be retained by the Debtors, must (i) provide for the indefeasible payment in cash in an amount that exceeds the sum, without duplication, of the following amounts: (1) the amount of the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, plus (2) $5 million in cash on account of certain unencumbered Transferred Assets, plus (3) the Wind-Down Amount, plus (4) the Stalking Horse Expense Reimbursement (collectively, the “Minimum Bid Amount”), and (ii) provide for the funding of (x) the Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts, plus (y) all outstanding fees and expenses due under the Cash Collateral Order, plus (z) Non-U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes.

   approval of the Bidding Procedures, the Debtors will seek, and the Bidding Procedures Order shall provide, authorization of the Bankruptcy Court for the Debtors’ implementation of the steps necessary (including any necessary steps prior to the Closing) to implement and consummate a tax-efficient transaction under Irish law, the specific steps to be mutually agreed by the Required Holders and the Company (such agreed steps, the “Transaction Steps”), and that preserve the ability of the First Lien Collateral Trustee to credit bid in respect of the assets subject to such Transaction Steps in a manner consistent with such Transaction Steps.
Bidding Protections   

The Stalking Horse Bidder will not be entitled to a break-up fee.

 

The Bidding Procedures Order will provide that in the event that the Debtors consummate a sale or restructuring transaction with respect to all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests to be acquired pursuant to the Sale Transaction, other than the Sale Transaction (an “Alternative Transaction”) or the RSA is terminated by the Debtors pursuant to the Fiduciary Out or either the RSA or PSA is terminated as a result of Debtors’ breach of the RSA or PSA, as applicable, the Debtors will pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Required Holders’ advisors in an aggregate amount not to exceed $7 million in connection with the formulation, proposal, negotiation, finalization, filing, effectuation, and defense of the Sale Transaction (such payment and reimbursement obligations, the “Stalking Horse Expense Reimbursement”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Stalking Horse Expense Reimbursement shall be in addition to the Debtors’ obligations to pay reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Required Holders’ advisors pursuant to the Cash Collateral Orders, provided, however, that this provision does not provide an entitlement to recover on account of the same fees and expenses twice.

Back-Up Bid    In the event that the Stalking Horse Bid is not selected as the successful bid but is otherwise the next highest or best alternative bid, the Stalking Horse Bidder will serve as the “back-up bid” for the Transferred Assets and will be binding and irrevocable until the date on which an Alternative Transaction is consummated.
Assumption of Contracts: Cure Costs   

On the Closing Date, except as otherwise determined by Newco in consultation with the Company, those executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on a schedule to the PSA will be assumed and assigned to Newco in accordance with section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (such schedule subject to revision by Newco prior to the Closing). All cure costs will be paid by Newco in connection with the Closing or as a deduction from Transferred Cash.

 

The Participation Agreement and all employment contracts, including for the avoidance of doubt any agreements related to target short and long term incentive opportunities, with respect to any employee employed by the Sellers as of the Closing Date will be deemed a transferred contract.

Sale Order    The Bankruptcy Court will enter the Sale Order, which will, among other things, (a) provide that the Transferred Assets are sold free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, claims, and other interests (other than liabilities specifically designated as assumed liabilities under the PSA), (b) contain findings of fact and conclusions of law that Newco is a good faith purchaser entitled to and granted the

 

9


  

protections of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) in the event that the Stalking Horse Bid is not selected as the successful bid, provide that the proceeds of the sale to the “successful bidder” under the Bidding Procedures and/or any excluded cash to be retained by the Debtors will be used to pay the sum, without duplication, of (i) the Minimum Bid Amount, plus (ii) the Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts, plus (ii) all outstanding fees and expenses due under the Cash Collateral Order, plus (iv) Non-U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes.

 

The Sale Order will contain full mutual general releases (the “Sale Releases”), effective on the Closing Date, by and among the Debtors, Newco, the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties, and such entities’ respective current and former affiliates, and such entities’ and their current and former affiliates’ current and former officers, managers, directors, equity holders (regardless of whether such interests are held directly or indirectly), predecessors, successors, and assigns, subsidiaries, and each of their current and former officers, managers, directors, equity holders, principals, members, employees, agents, financial advisors, partners, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, representatives, and other professionals, each in their capacity as such, for any claims up to the Closing Date, except as preserved in the PSA and related documentation implementing the Sale Transaction.

 

The terms of the Sale Order, including the Sale Releases, will be acceptable to the Required Holders in their sole discretion and to the Debtors in their reasonable discretion.

Newco
Newco Capitalization   

Immediately prior to Closing, the Required Holders will direct the First Lien Collateral Trustee to assign its rights to credit bid, on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), to the Stalking Horse Bidder, so as to enable the Stalking Horse Bidder to credit bid up to the entire amount of the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness.

 

At Closing, in the event the Stalking Horse Bidder is determined to be the “successful bidder” of the Transferred Assets, Newco will issue to the First Lien Creditors, pro rata based on their respective amounts of the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, (i) 100% of the outstanding common stock of Newco (subject to dilution by any issuances under the MIP (as defined below) to be approved by the board of directors of Newco (the “Newco Board”) and the Rights Offering (as defined below)) and (ii) a takeback tranche of new first lien debt as described below (the “Newco 1L Debt”).

 

Such common stock will be subject to the Newco governance documents.

 

The Newco 1L Debt is intended to be in an amount no greater than 4.0x net funded leverage at Closing, subject to revision based on market conditions at Closing (including the results of a potential marketing process for a portion of the Newco 1L Debt) but, under any and all circumstances, no greater than 4.5x net funded leverage at Closing (the “Leverage Cap”).

 

10


  

In addition, Newco may raise exit capital at Closing, as determined by the Required Holders in their sole discretion, in the form of (i) a new money rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), (ii) a first out new money tranche of the Newco 1L Debt, or (iii) a combination thereof, which, in each case, will be offered on a pro rata basis to the Consenting First Lien Creditors party to the RSA on the original execution date thereof and shall be based on terms acceptable in all respects to the Required Holders in their sole discretion; provided, however, that such terms do not otherwise conflict with the Leverage Cap.

Newco Governance   

Newco governance documents to be determined by Required Holders in their sole discretion.

 

Newco Board members to be determined by Required Holders in their sole discretion but in all cases will include the Chief Executive Officer of Newco.

Tax Structure and Indemnity   

To the extent the Stalking Horse Bidder is the “successful bidder,” the Stalking Horse Bidder has the right to consummate the Sale Transaction in a manner to be determined in the Stalking Horse Bidder’s reasonable discretion so long as such tax structuring is not materially adverse to the Company. The Company will cooperate in good faith with the Stalking Horse Bidder and will use reasonable best efforts to provide any information and analyses necessary to enable the Stalking Horse Bidder to make tax-related determinations, including by providing reasonable access to the Company’s employees and outside advisors (e.g., tax accountants, lawyers, and other consultants), subject to the information and access covenant to be agreed in the definitive PSA; provided, however, it being understood that, with respect to any tax-related issues involving the Debtors other than the Sale Transaction, the Debtors and their advisors will not provide information and analyses that would conflict with any applicable requirements of law or any binding agreement, or that would waive any attorney-client or similar privilege or work product doctrine; provided, however, that through the completion of the Wind-Down Period, the Stalking Horse Bidder will not take any position in reporting the consequences of the Sale Transaction to applicable taxing authorities that is inconsistent with the allocation of value (i) among the Debtors as set forth in the cleansing materials related to this potential Sale Transaction included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed on August 16, 2022 as further allocated among the assets of the Debtors by the Debtors acting in good faith and in consultation with the Stalking Horse Bidder or (ii) as otherwise agreed between the Debtors and the Stalking Horse Bidder. The Company will take any steps reasonably requested by the Stalking Horse Bidder (including, without limitation, seeking any necessary

 

11


  

approvals from the Bankruptcy Court) as are necessary to implement and effect the Sale Transaction in a tax-efficient manner as mutually agreed by the Debtors and the Stalking Horse Bidder, including such steps as may be necessary prior to the execution of the PSA and/or approval of the Bidding Procedures.

 

Solely to the extent that a Sale Transaction with the Stalking Horse Bidder is consummated in a manner reasonably agreed between the Stalking Horse Bidder and the Company, the Company will be indemnified by the Purchaser (the “Sale Transaction Tax Indemnity”) for any and all non-U.S. taxes (including transfer taxes) arising by reason of the Sale Transaction, including for the avoidance of doubt, any such taxes triggered on any steps taken by the Debtors after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases but prior to the Closing of the Sale Transaction that may be agreed by the Stalking Horse Bidder and the Company (collectively, the “Non-U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be indemnified by the Stalking Horse Bidder for any liability for any taxes that were in existence or assertable against the applicable Seller by a taxing authority prior to the Closing Date (other than to the extent that any such liability for taxes is triggered solely by the Sale Transaction, or any steps necessary to effect the Sale Transaction by the Stalking Horse Bidder that are agreed to by the Stalking Horse Bidder and taken by the Company prior to the Closing of the Sale Transaction).

Voluntary Opioid Claimants Settlement Trust   

Purchaser will provide for the establishment of separate trusts (the “Voluntary Opioid Trusts”) for the benefit of public, tribal, and private opioid claimants, respectively, that affirmatively agree to, among other things, (x) release any and all Opioid Claims against the Released Parties (each term as defined in the Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet) (the “Opioid Release”) and (y) only assert such claims and causes of action against the applicable Voluntary Opioid Trust.

 

The Voluntary Opioid Trusts will be formed, funded, and administered as set forth in the “Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet” attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Opioid Release will be substantially in the form attached to the Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet as Exhibit 1.

Voluntary Operating Injunction    The Required Holders and the Debtors have reached a consensual resolution with respect to injunctive terms with the State Attorney General Endo Executive Committee and other relevant parties.
Miscellaneous
Wind-Down Amount   

Purchaser shall provide $122 million of cash, which may be funded from Transferred Cash, (the “Wind-Down Amount”) to fund an orderly wind down process during the Wind-Down Period, subject to a budget (the “Wind-Down Budget”) attached hereto as Exhibit D, that will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders. The Purchaser and the Debtors agree to negotiate in good faith the specific mechanics of the funding of the Wind-Down Amount from the Purchaser.

 

Unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser, (i) on or immediately after the Closing Date, to the extent any cash is available to the Debtors to fund the Wind-Down in excess of the Wind-Down Amount (the “Excess Cash”), the Wind-Down Amount shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to account for such Excess Cash and (ii) if, at any time after the Wind-Down Amount has been funded, the Debtors receive any Excess Cash or there is otherwise Excess Cash made available to the Debtors, the Debtors shall remit such Excess Cash to the Purchaser within five (5) business days. Except as set forth herein, any subsequent adjustments to the Wind-Down Amount and the Wind-Down Budget will require the consent of the Required Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

12


  

In addition, with respect to (i) the unsecured creditors committee, (ii) the official opioid committee (if appointed), and (iii) a future claims representative (if appointed) ((i)-(iii), the “Committees/FCR”), the Purchaser agrees to provide cash that will be in excess of the Wind-Down Amount to fund a budget that will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders for purposes of such entities and their advisors; provided further that if the Debtors and the Required Holders cannot reach agreement as to a budget for such entities, the Debtors will be entitled to seek an order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to resolve the issue.

 

Further, if the Debtors reasonably determine that there is expected to be a recovery available for general unsecured creditors (taking into account the cost of the Claims Processes (as defined below)), the Purchaser agrees to provide cash that will be in excess of the Wind-Down Amount to fund a noticing and bar date process and proof of claims process (the “Claims Processes”), in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders; provided further that if the Debtors and the Required Holders cannot reach agreement as to a budget for such entities, the Debtors will be entitled to seek an order from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to resolve the issue. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts will take into account the likelihood of success in confirming a plan and the expected recovery to general unsecured creditors.

 

The Purchaser will agree to provide finance, IT and legal personnel via a transition services agreement with the Debtors to assist the Debtors with wind-down workstreams at no cost to the Debtors through completion of the Wind-Down Period.

 

To the extent any of the Wind-Down Amount remains after satisfaction of the items set forth in the Wind-Down Budget at the completion of the Wind-Down Period or any Excess Cash becomes available, any such remainder or Excess Cash shall be remitted to Newco.

Professional Fee Escrow Accounts    No later than ten (10) business days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Debtors shall deposit the Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts in segregated professional fee escrow accounts for each professional the Debtors’ estates are obligated to pay (the “Professional Fee Escrow Accounts”), including, without limitation, all of the professionals retained under Bankruptcy Code sections 326 through 331 and ordinary course professionals. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wind-Down Amount shall be in addition to the funds used to fund the Professional Fee Escrow Accounts.
Document Repository    In the event the Debtors reach a global resolution with the Multi-State Executive Committee (the “Endo EC”) and the Plaintiffs Executive Committee in In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, MDL No. 1:17-MD-2804 (N.D. Ohio), the Debtors may create a public document repository (the “Document Repository”) on terms to be agreed. The Document Repository may include documents about the Debtors and the opioid crisis, including documents that the Debtors produced in investigations and litigation.

(b) Definition of Carve Out. As used in this Interim Order, the “Carve Out means the sum of (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses up to $250,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (iii) to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise, all unpaid fees and expenses (the “Allowed Professional Fees”) incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328, or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Debtor Professionals”) and any Committee pursuant to section 328 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Committee Professionals”) and the FCR (if any) and persons or firms retained by the FCR pursuant to an order of the Court (collectively, the “FCR Professionals” and, together with the Debtor Professionals and the Committee Professionals, the “Professional Persons”) at any time before or on the first business day following delivery by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group of

 

44


a Carve Out Trigger Notice (as defined below), whether allowed by the Court prior to or after delivery of a Carve Out Trigger Notice, (the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), the “Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap”); (iv) Allowed Professional Fees of Professional Persons in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25 million incurred after the first business day following delivery by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group of the Carve Out Trigger Notice, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise; and (v) all amounts required to be paid to (x) PJT Partners LP on account of any transaction fees earned under that certain engagement letter between PJT Partners LP and the Debtors, dated as of September 21, 2021, and (y) transaction fees (if any) earned by the Committee Professionals or the FCR Professionals, payable under sections 328, 330, and/or 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent not yet paid or due as of the delivery of a Carve Out Trigger Notice and allowed by a separate order of this Court at any time (the amounts set forth in clause (iv) above and this clause (v) being the “Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap”). For purposes of the foregoing, “Carve Out Trigger Notice” shall mean a written notice delivered by email (or other electronic means) by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group to the Debtors, their lead restructuring counsel (Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP), the U.S. Trustee, and counsel to any Committee (if any), which notice may be delivered following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event (as defined below) stating that the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap has been invoked.

(c) Carve Out Reserves. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined below), on the day on which a Carve Out Trigger Notice is given by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group (the “Termination Declaration Date”), the Carve Out Trigger Notice shall constitute a demand to the Debtors to utilize all cash on hand as of such date and any available cash thereafter held by any Debtor to fund a reserve in an amount equal to the then unpaid amounts

 

45


of the Allowed Professional Fees plus reasonably estimated fees and expenses not yet allowed for the period through and including the Termination Declaration Date (the “Allowed and Estimated Professional Fees”). The Debtors shall deposit and hold such amounts in a segregated account in trust to pay the Allowed and Estimated Professional Fees (the “Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve”) prior to any and all other claims. On the Termination Declaration Date, the Carve Out Trigger Notice shall also constitute a demand to the Debtors to utilize all cash on hand as of such date and any available cash thereafter held by any Debtor, after funding the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve, to fund a reserve in an amount equal to the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap. The Debtors shall deposit and hold such amounts in a segregated account in trust to pay such Allowed Professional Fees benefiting from the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap (the “Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve” and, together with the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve, the “Carve Out Reserves”) prior to any and all other claims. All funds in the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve shall be used first to pay the obligations set forth in the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap (the “Pre-Carve Out Amounts”), but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap, until paid in full, and then, to the extent the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve has not been reduced to zero, any such excess shall be paid to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties in accordance with their respective rights and priorities as of the Petition Date. All funds in the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve shall be used first to pay all the amounts set forth in the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap (the “Post-Carve Out Amounts”), and then, to the extent the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve has not been reduced to zero, any such excess shall be used first to pay any unpaid Pre-Carve Out Amounts until paid in full, and then paid to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties in accordance with their respective rights and priorities as of the Petition Date. Notwithstanding anything to the

 

46


contrary in the Prepetition Documents or this Interim Order: (i) following delivery of a Carve Out Trigger Notice, the First Lien Collateral Trustee shall not sweep or foreclose on cash (including cash received as a result of the sale or other disposition of any assets) of the Debtors until the Carve Out Reserves have been fully funded, but shall have a security interest in any residual interest in the Carve Out Reserves, with any excess paid to the First Lien Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with the Prepetition Documents and Intercreditor Agreements; (ii)(A) disbursements by the Debtors from the Carve Out Reserves shall not increase or reduce the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness, (B) the failure of the Carve Out Reserves to satisfy in full the Allowed Professional Fees shall not affect the priority of the Carve Out, and (C) in no way shall the Approved Budget, Proposed Budget, Carve Out, Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap, Carve Out Reserves, or any of the foregoing be construed as a cap or limitation on the amount of the Allowed Professional Fees due and payable by the Debtors; and (iii) the Carve Out shall be senior to all liens and claims securing the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness, the Adequate Protection Liens, the Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims, any claims arising under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any and all other forms of adequate protection, liens, or claims securing the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if either of the Carve Out Reserves is not funded in full in the amounts set forth herein, then any excess funds in one of the Carve Out Reserves following the payment of the Pre-Carve Out Amounts and Post-Carve Out Amounts, respectively, shall be used to fund the other Carve Out Reserve, up to the applicable amount set forth herein, prior to making any payments to the Prepetition Secured Parties. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the automatic stay provisions of Bankruptcy Code section 362 are hereby modified to permit the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties to retain and apply all collections or remittances from any Carve Out Reserve subject to and in accordance with this Interim Order, the Credit Documents, the First Lien Notes Documents, and the Intercreditor Agreements to the extent the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties are entitled to any excess from the Carve Out Reserves.

 

47


(d) Professional Fee Reserve Account. Upon entry of this Interim Order, the Debtors shall establish a separate segregated account not subject to the control or liens of any party, which shall be for the sole purpose of paying unpaid Allowed Professional Fees (the “Professional Fee Reserve Account”). Within ten (10) business days of a Professional Person submitting an invoice to the Debtors for professional fees, the Debtors shall fund the Professional Fee Reserve Account in an amount equal to 20% of the professional fees set forth in such invoice, including, without limitation, any additional amounts required to be held back pursuant to an order of the Court (such professional fees, expenses, and additional amounts, the “Reserve Amounts”). Upon release of any Reserve Amounts from the Professional Fee Reserve Account and payment thereof to the applicable Professional Person, the Professional Fee Reserve Account shall be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the amount paid to such Professional Person. Upon the delivery of a Carve Out Trigger Notice, all funds in the Professional Fee Reserve Account shall be used first to pay the Pre-Carve Out Amounts. If, after payment in full of all amounts included in the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap and Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap, the Professional Fee Reserve Account has not been reduced to zero, all remaining funds shall be returned to the Prepetition Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors’ obligations to pay Allowed Professional Fees shall not be limited or deemed limited to funds held in the Professional Fee Reserve Account.

 

48


(e) No Direct Obligation To Pay Allowed Professional Fees. Subject to the terms of the restructuring support agreement, dated August 16, 2022, by and between the Debtors and certain of the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties (the “RSA”), the Prepetition Secured Parties reserve the right to object to the allowance of any fees and expenses, whether or not such fees and expenses were incurred in accordance with the Approved Budget. Except for permitting the funding of the Carve Out Reserves as provided herein, none of the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of any fees or disbursements of any Professional Person or any fees or expenses of the U.S. Trustee or Clerk of the Court incurred in connection with the Cases or any successor cases under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (“Successor Cases”). Nothing in this Interim Order or otherwise shall be construed to obligate the Prepetition Secured Parties, in any way, to pay compensation to, or to reimburse expenses of, any Professional Person or to guarantee that the Debtors have sufficient funds to pay such compensation or reimbursement.

(f) Payment of Carve Out After the Termination Declaration Date. Any payment or reimbursement made after the occurrence of the Termination Declaration Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees shall permanently reduce the Carve Out on a dollar for-dollar basis; provided, however, if the Debtor Professionals use their retainers to pay such Allowed Professional Fees, such payments shall not reduce the Carve Out.

7. Access and Information. Subject to the Prepetition Documents, upon reasonable prior written notice (as applicable, including via acknowledged electronic mail) during normal business hours, the Debtors shall permit the Ad Hoc First Lien Advisors, to (a) have reasonable access to information regarding the operations, business affairs, and financial condition of the Debtors, (b) have reasonable access to and inspect the Debtors’ properties, and (c) discuss the Debtors’ affairs, finances, and condition with the Debtors’ advisors; it being understood that nothing in this paragraph shall require the Debtors (or any of their advisors) to take any action that would conflict with any applicable requirements of law or any binding agreement, or that would waive any attorney-client or similar privilege.

 

49


8. Termination. Subject to the Remedies Notice Period (as defined below) and paragraph 6, the Debtors’ right to use the Cash Collateral pursuant to this Interim Order shall automatically cease without further court proceedings on the Termination Date (as defined herein).

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Debtors’ authorization to use Cash Collateral hereunder shall automatically terminate (except for purposes of funding the Carve Out, as provided in paragraph 6) on the date (such date, the “Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the effective date of any chapter 11 plan with respect to the Debtors confirmed by the Court; (ii) the date on which all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors are sold in a sale under any chapter 11 plan or pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (iii) five (5) business days from the date (the “Termination Declaration Date”) on which written notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event is given by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group (which notice may be given by electronic mail (or other electronic means)) to Debtors’ counsel, each Committee counsel (if appointed), and the U.S. Trustee (the “Termination Declaration,” and such period commencing on the Termination Declaration Date and ending five (5) business days later, the “Remedies Notice Period”); provided that, until expiration of the Remedies Notice Period, the Debtors may (a) continue to use Cash Collateral to make payments in respect of expenses reasonably necessary to keep the business of the Debtors operating, solely in accordance with the Approved Budget and this Interim Order, (b) contest or cure any alleged Termination Date, and (c) seek other relief as provided for in this paragraph; and provided, further, that the Debtors may continue to use Cash Collateral during or after expiration of the Remedies Notice Period solely to the extent necessary to fund the Carve Out Reserves subject to paragraph 6 hereof. The automatic stay in the Cases otherwise applicable to the Prepetition Secured Parties is hereby modified such that, upon the expiration of the Remedies Notice Period, the First Lien Collateral Trustee (with the prior written approval of the Ad Hoc First Lien Group) and the other Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies in accordance with the Prepetition Documents, Intercreditor Agreements, and this Interim Order with respect to the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral.

Upon expiration of the Remedies Notice Period, if applicable, the First Lien Collateral Trustee (with the prior written approval of the Ad Hoc First Lien Group), and the other Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties shall be permitted to exercise all rights and remedies in accordance with the Prepetition Documents, Intercreditor Agreements, and this Interim Order, and as otherwise available at law or in equity without further order of or application or motion to this Court consistent with this Interim Order.

Any delay or failure of the First Lien Collateral Trustee and/or the other Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties to exercise rights under the Prepetition Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements, or this Interim Order shall not constitute a waiver of its respective rights hereunder, thereunder or otherwise. The occurrence of the Termination Date or a Termination Event shall not affect the validity, priority, or enforceability of any and all rights, remedies, benefits, and protections provided to any of the Prepetition Secured Parties under this Interim Order, which rights, remedies, benefits, and protections shall survive the Termination Date or the delivery of a Termination Declaration.

 

55


10. Payments Free and Clear. Any and all payments or proceeds remitted to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties and the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Interim Order or any subsequent order of this Court shall be irrevocable (subject to paragraphs 4(d), 4(g), 5(e), and 19 of this Interim Order), received free and clear of any claim, charge, assessment or other liability, including without limitation, subject to entry of the Final Order, any such claim or charge arising out of or based on, directly or indirectly, Bankruptcy Code sections 506(c) (whether asserted or assessed by, through or on behalf of the Debtor) or 552(b).

11. Limitation on Charging Expenses Against Collateral. Subject to entry of the Final Order, all rights to surcharge the interests of the Prepetition Secured Parties in any Prepetition Collateral or any Collateral under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable principle or equity or law shall be and are hereby finally and irrevocably waived, and such waiver shall be binding upon the Debtors and all parties in interest in the Cases.

12. Reservation of Rights of the Prepetition Secured Parties. Except as expressly set forth in this Interim Order, the entry of this Interim Order is without prejudice to, and does not constitute or operate as a waiver of, expressly or implicitly, or otherwise impair any rights or remedies of any of the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties or the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties arising under or related to any of the Credit Documents, the First Lien Notes Documents, and/or the Second Lien Notes Documents, applicable law, these Cases (and any issue or dispute arising therein), or otherwise. This Interim Order and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be without prejudice to (a) the rights of any of the Prepetition Secured Parties to,

 

56


subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, seek additional or different adequate protection, move to vacate the automatic stay, move for the appointment of a trustee or examiner, move to dismiss or convert the Cases, or to take any other action in the Cases and to appear and be heard in any matter raised in the Cases, or any party in interest from contesting any of the foregoing and (b) any and all rights, remedies, claims and causes of action which the Prepetition Secured Parties may have against any non-Debtor party. For all adequate protection purposes throughout the Cases, each of the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be deemed to have requested relief from the automatic stay and adequate protection for any Diminution in Value from and after the Petition Date and, for the avoidance of doubt, such request will survive termination of this Interim Order. Without limiting the foregoing, any delay in, or failure of, the Administrative Agent, any of the Prepetition First Lien Loan Secured Parties, the First Lien Indenture Trustee, the First Lien Collateral Trustee, and/or any of the Prepetition First Lien Notes Secured Parties, or the Second Lien Indenture Trustee, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee, and/or any of the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties to seek relief or otherwise assert or exercise any of their rights or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy and all such rights and remedies are reserved and preserved in all respects.

13. Modification of Automatic Stay. The Debtors are authorized to perform all acts and to make, execute, and deliver any and all instruments as may be reasonably necessary to implement the terms and conditions of this Interim Order and the transactions contemplated hereby. The stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby modified to permit the parties to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Interim Order.

 

57


14. Survival of Interim Order. The provisions of this Interim Order shall be binding upon any trustee appointed during the Cases or upon a conversion to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive entry of any order which may be entered converting the Cases to chapter 7 cases, dismissing the Cases under section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, confirming or consummating any plan(s) of reorganization or liquidation or otherwise, or approving or consummating any sale of any Prepetition Collateral or Collateral, whether pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or included as part of any plan. The terms and provisions of this Interim Order, as well as the priorities in payments, liens, and security interests granted pursuant to this Interim Order shall continue notwithstanding any conversion of the Cases to chapter 7 cases under the Bankruptcy Code, dismissal of the Cases, confirmation or consummation of any plan(s) of reorganization or liquidation, approval or consummation of any sale, or otherwise. Subject to the limitations described in paragraphs 4(d), 4(g), 5(e), and 19 of this Interim Order, the adequate protection payments made pursuant to this Interim Order shall not be subject to counterclaim, setoff, subordination, recharacterization, defense or avoidance in the Cases or any subsequent chapter 7 cases or other proceeding (other than a defense that the payment has actually been made).

15. No Third-Party Rights. Except as explicitly provided for herein, this Interim Order does not create any rights for the benefit of any third party, creditor, equity holder, or any direct, indirect, or incidental beneficiary.

16. Release. Subject to the rights and limitations set forth in paragraph 19 of this Interim Order, effective upon entry of the Interim Order, each of the Debtors and the Debtors’ estates, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of their predecessors, their successors, and assigns, shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, unconditionally, irrevocably, and fully forever release, remise, acquit, relinquish, irrevocably waive, and discharge each of the Prepetition Secured Parties (each in their respective roles as such), and each of their respective affiliates,

 

58


former, current, or future officers, employees, directors, agents, representatives, owners, members, partners, financial advisors, legal advisors, shareholders, managers, consultants, accountants, attorneys, affiliates, assigns, agents, and predecessors in interest, each in their capacity as such, of and from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, responsibilities, disputes, remedies, causes of action, indebtedness and obligations, rights, assertions, allegations, actions, suits, controversies, proceedings, losses, damages, injuries, attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, or judgments of every type, whether known, unknown, asserted, unasserted, suspected, unsuspected, accrued, unaccrued, fixed, contingent, pending, or threatened, including, without limitation, all legal and equitable theories of recovery, arising under common law, statute, or regulation or by contract, of every nature and description that exist on the date hereof with respect to or relating to the Prepetition First Lien Loans, the First Lien Notes, the Prepetition Second Lien Notes, the Prepetition Liens, the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness, the Prepetition Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements, or this Interim Order, as applicable, and/or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder including, without limitation, (i) any so-called “lender liability” or equitable subordination claims or defenses, (ii) any and all claims and causes of action arising under the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) any and all claims and causes of action regarding the validity, priority, extent, enforceability, perfection, or avoidability of the liens or claims of the Prepetition Secured Parties; provided, however, no such parties will be released to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such parties’ gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct.

 

59


17. Binding Effect. The terms of this Interim Order shall be valid and binding upon the Debtors, all creditors of the Debtors and all other parties in interest from and after the entry of this Interim Order by this Court. Notwithstanding anything in this Interim Order or any other agreement or document to the contrary, upon entry of this Interim Order, the Ad Hoc First Lien Advisors shall provide written confirmation (the “Requisite Group Notice”) to the Debtors, the First Lien Indenture Trustee, and the First Lien Collateral Trustee that (a) the Ad Hoc First Lien Group represents the holders of more than 50% of the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Secured Debt (as defined in the First Lien Collateral Trust Agreement) (including the face amount of outstanding letters of credit whether or not available or drawn) (the “Required Holders”) and (b) each member of the Ad Hoc First Lien Group consents to the delivery by the Ad Hoc First Lien Advisors of any consents and waivers as a block on behalf of each member of the Ad Hoc First Lien Group pursuant to this Interim Order. The Debtors, the Administrative Agent, the First Lien Indenture Trustee and the First Lien Collateral Trustee shall be permitted to rely upon the Requisite Group Notice. The Ad Hoc First Lien Advisors shall promptly provide written notice to the Debtors, the Administrative Agent, the First Lien Indenture Trustee, and the First Lien Collateral Trustee if, at any time, the Ad Hoc First Lien Group no longer constitutes Required Holders (a “Subsequent Group Notice”). In the event the Ad Hoc First Lien Advisors provide a Subsequent Group Notice, consent and waiver rights under this Interim Order in favor of the Ad Hoc First Lien Group shall be deemed to be in favor of the Required Holders (which consent or waiver may be provided by the First Lien Collateral Trustee, acting pursuant to an Act of Required Secured Parties (as defined in the First Lien Collateral Trust Agreement)), unless and until the Ad Hoc First Lien Advisors provide a Requisite Group Notice providing written confirmation that the Ad Hoc First Lien Group constitutes holders representing Required Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Interim Order, nothing in this Interim Order prejudices the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties’ respective rights under the First Lien Collateral Trust Agreement.

In the event the provisions of this Interim Order are reversed, stayed, modified or vacated by court order following notice and any further hearing, such reversals, modifications, stays or vacatur shall not affect the rights and priorities of the Prepetition Secured Parties granted pursuant to this Interim Order. Notwithstanding any such reversal, stay, modification or vacatur by court order, any indebtedness, obligation or liability incurred by the Debtors pursuant to this Interim Order arising prior to the First Lien Collateral Trustee’s or Second Lien Collateral Trustee’s receipt of notice of the effective date of such reversal, stay, modification or vacatur shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Interim Order, and the Prepetition Secured Parties shall continue to be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, privileges and benefits, including any payments authorized herein and the security interests and liens granted herein, with respect to all such indebtedness, obligation or liability, and the validity of any payments made or obligations owed or credit extended or lien or security interest granted pursuant to this Interim Order is and shall remain subject to the protection afforded under the Bankruptcy Code.

19. Reservation of Certain Third-Party Rights and Bar of Challenge and Claims.

standing granted by order of the Court (or other court of competent jurisdiction) has timely and properly filed an adversary proceeding or contested matter under the Bankruptcy Rules (i) before the earlier of (A) except as to any Committee, seventy-five (75) calendar days after entry of the Final Order, and (B) in the case of any such adversary proceeding or contested matter filed by any Committee, sixty (60) calendar days after the entry of the Final Order, subject to further extension by written agreement of the Debtors and the Ad Hoc First Lien Group or further extension by the Court for cause shown upon a motion filed and served within the applicable period (in each case, a “Challenge Period” and, the date of expiration of each Challenge Period, a “Challenge Period Termination Date”); provided, however, that if, prior to the end of the Challenge Period, (x) the cases convert to chapter 7, or (y) a chapter 11 trustee is appointed, then, in each such case, the Challenge Period shall be extended by the later of (I) the time remaining under the Challenge Period plus ten (10) days or (II) such other time as ordered by the Court solely with respect to any such trustee, commencing on the occurrence of either of the events discussed in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y); (ii) seeking to avoid, object to, or otherwise challenge the findings or Debtors’ Stipulations regarding: (A) the validity, enforceability, extent, priority, or perfection of the mortgages, security interests, and liens of the Prepetition Secured Parties; or (B) the validity, enforceability, allowability, priority, secured status, or amount of the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness (any such claim, a “Challenge”); and (iii) in which the Court enters a final order in favor of the plaintiff sustaining any such Challenge in any such timely filed adversary proceeding or contested matter.

 

62


(b) Upon the expiration of the Challenge Period without the filing of a Challenge (or if any such Challenge is filed and overruled): (i) any and all such Challenges by any party (including, without limitation, any Committee, the FCR, any chapter 11 trustee, and/or any examiner or other estate representative appointed or elected in these Cases, and any chapter 7 trustee and/or examiner or other estate representative appointed or elected in any Successor Case) shall be deemed to be forever barred; (ii) the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness shall constitute allowed claims, not subject to counterclaim, setoff, recoupment, reduction, subordination, recharacterization, defense, or avoidance for all purposes in the Debtors’ Cases and any Successor Cases; (iii) the Prepetition Liens shall be deemed to have been, as of the Petition Date, legal, valid, binding, and perfected secured claims, not subject to recharacterization, subordination, or avoidance; and (iv) all of the Debtors’ stipulations and admissions contained in this Interim Order, including the Debtors’ Stipulations, and all other waivers, releases, affirmations, and other stipulations as to the priority, extent, and validity as to the Prepetition Secured Parties’ claims, liens, and interests contained in this Interim Order shall be in full force and effect and forever binding upon the Debtors, the Debtors’ estates, and all creditors, interest holders, and other parties in interest in these Cases and any Successor Cases.

(c) If any such adversary proceeding or contested matter is timely and properly filed under the Bankruptcy Rules, the stipulations and admissions contained in this Interim Order, including the Debtors’ Stipulations, shall nonetheless remain binding and preclusive on any Committee and any other person or entity except to the extent that such stipulations and admissions were expressly challenged in such adversary proceeding or contested matter prior to the Challenge Period Termination Date. Nothing in this Interim Order vests or confers on any person (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code), including, without limitation, any Committee appointed in the Cases, standing or authority to pursue any cause of action belonging to the Debtors or their estates, including, without limitation, any challenges (including a Challenge) with respect to the Prepetition Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Prepetition Liens, the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness, and a separate order of the Court conferring such standing on any Committee or other party-in-interest shall be a prerequisite for the prosecution of a Challenge by such Committee or such other party-in-interest.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Interim Order, except as expressly permitted by this Interim Order, or any other document, none of the Collateral, the Prepetition Collateral, including Cash Collateral, or the Carve Out or proceeds of any of the foregoing may be used: (a) to investigate (including by way of examinations or discovery proceedings), initiate, assert, prosecute, join, commence, support, or finance the initiation or prosecution of any claim, counterclaim, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, application, motion, objection, defense, adversary proceeding, or other litigation of any type (i) against any of the Prepetition Secured Parties (in their capacities as such), and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, consultants, financial advisors, affiliates, assigns, or successors, with respect to any transaction, occurrence, omission, action, or other matter (including formal discovery proceedings in anticipation thereof), including, without limitation, any so-called “lender liability” claims and causes of action, or seeking relief that would impair the rights and remedies of the Prepetition Secured Parties under the Prepetition Documents, Intercreditor Agreements, this Interim Order, or any other applicable document or agreement, including, without limitation, for the payment of any services rendered by the professionals retained by the Debtors or any Committee appointed (if any) in these Cases in connection with the assertion of or joinder in any claim, counterclaim, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, application, motion, objection, defense, adversary proceeding, or other contested matter, the purpose of which is to seek, or the result of which would be to obtain, any order, judgment, determination, declaration, or similar relief that would impair the ability of

 

64


any of the Prepetition Secured Parties to recover on the Prepetition Collateral or the Collateral or seeking affirmative relief against any of the Prepetition Secured Parties related to the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness; (ii) invalidating, setting aside, avoiding, or subordinating, in whole or in part, the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness or the Prepetition Secured Parties’ respective Prepetition Liens or security interests in the Prepetition Collateral or the Collateral, as applicable; or (iii) for monetary, injunctive, or other affirmative relief against any of the Prepetition Secured Parties or the Prepetition Secured Parties’ respective liens on or security interests in the Prepetition Collateral or the Collateral that would impair the ability of any of the Prepetition Secured Parties to assert or enforce any lien, claim, right, or security interest or to realize or recover on the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness, to the extent applicable; (b) for objecting to or challenging in any way the legality, validity, priority, perfection, or enforceability of the claims, liens, or interests (including, without limitation, the Prepetition Liens) held by or on behalf of each of the Prepetition Secured Parties related to the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness; (c) for asserting, commencing, or prosecuting any claims or causes of action whatsoever, including, without limitation, any Avoidance Actions related to or in connection with the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness or the Prepetition Liens; or (d) for prosecuting an objection to, contesting in any manner, or raising any defenses to, the validity, extent, amount, perfection, priority, or enforceability of: (i) any of the Prepetition Liens or any other rights or interests of any of the Prepetition Secured Parties related to the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness or the Prepetition Liens, provided that no more than $50,000 of the proceeds of the Collateral, or the Prepetition Collateral, including the Cash Collateral, in the aggregate, may be used solely by any Committee appointed (if any) in these Cases, if any, solely to investigate, within the Challenge Period, the claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings, or other litigation against the Prepetition Secured Parties solely concerning

 

65


the legality, validity, priority, perfection, enforceability or extent of the claims, liens, or interests (including, without limitation, the Prepetition Liens) held by or on behalf of each of the Prepetition Secured Parties related to the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness; provided, further, that any such Committee shall not assert an administrative expense claim against the Debtor for any fees and expenses incurred in excess of $50,000; and provider, further, that nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit the Debtors from exercising rights conferred to them in this Interim Order.

21. Enforceability; Waiver of Any Applicable Stay.

22. Proofs of Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any prior or subsequent order of the Court, including, without limitation, any order establishing a deadline for the filing of proofs of claim or requests for payment of administrative expenses under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) the Prepetition Secured Parties shall not be required to file any proof of claim or request for payment of administrative expenses with respect to any of the Prepetition Secured Indebtedness, the Adequate Protection Liens, or the Adequate Protection Superpriority Claims; and the failure to file any such proof of claim or request for payment of administrative expenses shall not affect the validity, priority, or enforceability of any of the Prepetition Documents or of any other indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations arising at any time thereunder or under this Interim Order or prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the Prepetition Secured Parties’ rights, remedies, powers, or privileges under any of the Prepetition Documents,

 

66


this Interim Order, or applicable law, (ii) the First Lien Collateral Trustee and the Prepetition First Lien Agents (on behalf of themselves and the other Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties) are hereby authorized and entitled, in their sole discretion, but not required, to file (and amend and/or supplement, as they see fit) in the applicable Debtor’s Case, a single master proof of claim in the Cases for any and all claims of the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties arising from the applicable Credit Documents and/or First Lien Notes Documents, and (iii) the Second Lien Collateral Trustee and Second Lien Indenture Trustee (on behalf of themselves and the other Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties) are hereby authorized and entitled, in their sole discretion, but not required, to file (and amend and/or supplement, as they see fit) in the applicable Debtor’s Case, a single master proof of claim in the Cases for any and all claims of the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties arising from the applicable Second Lien Notes Documents; provided, that nothing herein shall waive the right of any Prepetition Secured Party to file its own proofs of claim against any of the Debtors. The provisions set forth in this paragraph are intended solely for the purpose of administrative convenience and shall not affect the substantive rights of any party-in-interest or their respective successors-in-interest.

23. Intercreditor Agreements. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Intercreditor Agreements and any other applicable intercreditor, subordination and/or turnover provisions contained in any of the Prepetition Documents or any of the Secured Debt Documents (as defined in each Collateral Trust Agreement), shall (a) remain in full force and effect, (b) continue to govern the relative obligations, priorities, rights and remedies of (i) the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties in the case of the First Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, (ii) the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Trust Agreement, and (iii) the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties and the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties in the case of the 1L-2L Intercreditor Agreement, and (c) not be deemed to be amended, altered or modified by the terms of this Interim Order.

 

67


24. Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Subject to entry of the Final Order, the (i) Prepetition Secured Parties shall each be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) the “equities of the case” exception under section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall not apply to any of the Prepetition Secured Parties with respect to proceeds, products, offspring or profits of any of the Prepetition Collateral or the Collateral.

25. No Marshaling. Subject to entry of the Final Order, the Prepetition Secured Parties shall not be subject to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any other similar doctrine with respect to any of the Prepetition Collateral or the Collateral.

(a) Any of the Debtors’ obligations to pay, in accordance with this Interim Order, the principal, interest, fees, payments, expenses, or any other amounts described in the Prepetition Documents or this Interim Order as such amounts become due, shall not require the Debtors or any party to obtain further Court approval. For the avoidance of doubt, such payments include, without limitation, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Interim Order, the Administrative Agent’s fees, including the fees of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, each First Lien Indenture Trustee’s fees, the First Lien Collateral Trustee’s fees, the Ad Hoc First Lien Group’s fees, including the Ad Hoc First Lien Advisor fees, the Second Lien Indenture Trustee’s fees, the Second Lien Collateral Trustee’s fees, the Ad Hoc Cross-Holder Group’s fees, including the Ad Hoc Cross-Holder Advisor fees, and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel and other professionals and any other principal, interest, fees, payments, expenses as set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Interim Order, whether or not such fees arose before or after the Petition Date, all to the extent provided in this Interim Order.

 

68


(b) The Prepetition Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses described above, which obligations shall constitute Prepetition Secured Indebtedness. The Debtors shall pay the reasonable and documented professional fees and expenses of professionals to the extent provided for in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Interim Order without the necessity of filing formal fee applications or complying with the U.S. Trustee Guidelines, including such amounts arising before the Petition Date; provided, that copies of invoices for such professional fees, expenses and disbursements (the “Invoiced Fees”) shall be served by email on the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee, and counsel to any Committee, who shall have five (5) business days (the “Review Period”) to review and assert any objections thereto. Invoiced Fees shall be in the form of an invoice summary for professional fees and categorized expenses incurred during the pendency of the Cases, and such invoice summary shall not be required to contain time entries, but shall include a list of professionals providing services, with rates and hours worked, and a general, brief description of the nature of the matters for which services were performed, and which may be redacted or modified to the extent necessary to delete any information subject to the attorney-client privilege, any work product doctrine, privilege or protection, common interest doctrine privilege or protection, any other evidentiary privilege or protection recognized under applicable law, or any other confidential information, and the provision of such invoices shall not constitute any waiver of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, privilege or protection, common interest doctrine privilege or protection, or any other evidentiary privilege or protection recognized under applicable law. The Debtors, any Committee, or the U.S. Trustee may dispute the payment of any portion of the Invoiced Fees (the

 

69


Disputed Invoiced Fees”) if, within the Review Period, a Debtor, any Committee that may be appointed in these Cases, or the U.S. Trustee notifies the submitting party in writing setting forth the specific objections to the Disputed Invoiced Fees (to be followed by the filing with the Court, if necessary, of a motion or other pleading, with at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to the submitting party of any hearing on such motion or other pleading). For avoidance of doubt, the Debtors shall promptly pay in full all Invoiced Fees other than the Disputed Invoiced Fees.

(c) Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, nothing in this Interim Order shall abrogate the indemnification provisions set forth in any of the Credit Documents or any of the First Lien Notes Documents.

27. Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement. Following entry of this Interim Order, the Debtors shall be authorized, but not directed, to request that the Issuing Banks (as defined in the Credit Agreement) extend, renew, or otherwise amend letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement (“Letters of Credit”), in accordance with the practices and procedures in the Credit Agreement, and to take all actions reasonably appropriate with respect thereto (including seeking that the applicable beneficiaries of such letters of credit approve the same), and the Issuing Banks in their discretion are each authorized to extend, renew, or otherwise amend the Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, provided that no Issuing Bank or any other Prepetition First Lien Loan Secured Party shall have any obligation to extend, renew, or otherwise amend the Letters of Credit and the obligations of the parties with respect to the Letters of Credit shall not be modified by this Interim Order.

 

70

No Debtor shall object to, or solicit, support, or encourage any objection to, any rights set forth in this paragraph and all relevant provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement shall apply and be binding with respect to any and all rights set forth in this paragraph.

(1)

Forecast assumes a preliminary injunction is in place in connection with the opioid litigation. Litigation costs would be significantly higher in the event an injunction is not granted.

(2)

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Motion, the RSA (as defined below), or the Stalking Horse Agreement (as defined below), as applicable.


On [                ], 2022, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), entered the Order Establish Bidding, Noticing, and Assumption and Assignment Procedures for the Sale of Substantially All of the Debtors’ Assets and for Related Relief [Docket No. [    ]) (the “Bidding Procedures Order”), which, among other things, authorized (a) the Debtors to solicit bids for the Sale in accordance with these Bidding Procedures outlined herein and (b) the Debtors’ entry into a purchase and sale agreement (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Stalking Horse Agreement”) with one or more entities (or their designees) formed in a manner acceptable to the Required Holders in their sole discretion (the “Stalking Horse Bidder”) for the sale of the Transferred Assets, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, claims, and other interests, pursuant to which the Stalking Horse Bidder has committed to provide aggregate consideration consisting of (collectively, the “Stalking Horse Bid”): (i) a credit bid, pursuant to section 363(k) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in full satisfaction of the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness (the “Stalking Horse Credit Bid”); (ii) $5 million in cash on account of certain unencumbered Transferred Assets (the “Stalking Horse Cash Purchase Price”); (iii) the Wind-Down Amount; (iv) the Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts; and (v) assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. Pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order, the Stalking Horse Bid is subject to higher or better offers, the outcome of the Auction and the approval of the Court.

The Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2022 (the “RSA”),3 currently contemplates that the Sale will be implemented pursuant to the terms and conditions of either (i) the Stalking Horse Agreement or, (ii) in the event one or more third-party purchaser(s) is determined to have submitted the highest or otherwise best offer or offers for the Assets (as defined below) in accordance with these Bidding Procedures, the purchase and sale agreement(s) agreed to by the Debtors and such third-party purchaser(s).

DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSETS

The Debtors seek to sell substantially all of the assets of the Debtors (including the Debtors’ intellectual property, certain customer and vendor contracts, accounts receivable and goodwill) and assign certain contracts material to the operation of the Debtors’ businesses (collectively, the “Assets”).

The Debtors will only consider bids (including bids from multiple bidders and multiple bids submitted by the same bidder) that are made for either (a) all or substantially all of the Debtors’ Assets, or (b) (i) at least one of the Debtors’ Business Segments (as defined below), and/or (ii) all of the Specified Group One Assets (as defined below), and/or (iii) all of the Specified Group Two Assets (as defined below). The Debtors will not consider bids that are made for individual assets or a group of assets that do not comprise a Business Segment, all of the Specified Group One Assets or all of the Specified Group Two Assets.

As used herein, the term “RSA” refers to both the RSA and Restructuring Term Sheet (as defined in the RSA).

 

2


The Debtors have four principal operating segments (each, a “Business Segment”):

(a) Branded Pharmaceuticals: The Debtors’ branded business focuses on products that have inherent scientific, regulatory, legal, and technical complexities, and markets such products under recognizable brand names that are trademarked. Products in the Branded Pharmaceuticals segment include: XIAFLEX®, SUPPRELIN® LA, NASCOBAL®, AVEED®, QWO® (QWO®, together with XIAFLEX®, the “Specified Group One Assets”), PERCOCET®, TESTOPEL®, EDEX®, and LIDODERM®.

(b) Sterile Injectables: The Sterile Injectables segment includes a product portfolio of more than 30 product families. In this portfolio, there are (i) branded sterile injectable products that are protected by certain patent rights and have inherent scientific, regulatory, legal and technical complexities, and (ii) generic sterile injectable products that are difficult to formulate or manufacture or face complex legal and regulatory challenges. The Debtors’ sterile injectables products are manufactured in sterile facilities in vial dosages and are administered at hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities. Products in the Sterile Injectables segment include: VASOSTRICT®, ADRENALIN®, Ertapenem for injection, APLISOL®, and Ephedrine sulfate injection.

(c) Generic Pharmaceuticals: Generic products are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of branded products and are generally marketed under their generic (chemical) names rather than their brand names. For generic products, the Debtors’ focus is on high-barrier-to-entry products, with an emphasis on complex sterile injectable products, such as ready-to-use products, and first-to-file or first-to-market opportunities that are difficult to formulate or manufacture. The Generic Pharmaceuticals’ product portfolio includes solid oral extended-release (e.g., pills), solid oral immediate-release, liquids, semi-solids, patches (medicated adhesive patches designed to deliver the pharmaceutical through the skin), powders, ophthalmics (sterile pharmaceutical preparations administered for ocular conditions), and sprays, and includes other products that treat and manage a wide range of medical conditions. This segment includes approximately 135 generic product families, including ENDOCET® (ENDOCET®, together with PERCOCET®, the “Specified Group Two Assets”).

(d) International Pharmaceuticals: The International Pharmaceuticals segment sells a variety of specialty pharmaceutical products outside the United States, primarily in Canada through Debtor Paladin Labs Inc. The key products of this segment serve various therapeutic areas, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, pain, women’s health, oncology, and transplantation.

Any party interested in submitting a bid for any of the Debtors’ Assets should contact the Debtors’ investment banker, PJT Partners LP, 280 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (Attn: Tom Davidson (davidson@pjtpartners.com), Mark Buschmann (buschmann@pjtpartners.com), Tarek Aguizy (aguizy@pjtpartners.com), and Scott Mates (mates@pjtpartners.com)).

The Debtors will provide actual notice of the Sale to known parties in interest (i.e., the Sale Notice Parties) as well as publication and other notice to unknown parties (e.g., potential litigation claimants with identities or addresses not presently known or reasonably ascertainable by the Debtors) (together, the “Sale Notice Procedures”). The Sale Notice Procedures provide for the following:

Sale Notice. On or before the date that is five business days after entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors shall file with the Court, serve on the Sale Notice Parties by first class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, and cause to be published on the dedicated website hosted and maintained by Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC, the Debtors’ claims and noticing agent in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Noticing Agent”), located at https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/Endo (such website, the “Case Website”), the notice of the Sale, substantially in the form attached to the Bidding Procedures Order as Exhibit 2 (the “Sale Notice”).

 

8


The Sale Notice will (a) include a general description of the Assets for sale; (b) prominently display the date, time, and place (as applicable) of the (i) Indication of Interest Deadline, (ii) Accelerated Sale Hearing, (iii) Bid Deadline, (iv) Auction and (v) Sale Hearing; and (c) prominently display the deadlines and procedures for filing a Sale Objection.

Supplemental Notice Plan. In addition, the Sale Notice Procedures include a comprehensive media plan for providing publication notice to unknown claimants (such plan, the “Supplemental Notice Plan”).8 The target date to launch the Supplemental Notice Plan is the date that is five business days after entry of the Bidding Procedures Order. The Supplemental Notice Plan is to run for no less than 65 calendar days.

 

  B.

The Debtors developed procedures (such procedures, the “Assumption and Assignment Procedures”) to facilitate the fair and orderly assumption, assumption and assignment, and rejection of certain executory contracts (the “Contracts”) or unexpired leases (the “Leases”) as may be designated in the Stalking Horse Agreement or any other Successful Bid(s) (as defined below). Pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order, the Assumption and Assignment Procedures contemplate: (a) the amendment of certain indemnification and reimbursement clauses in applicable Assumed Contracts; and (b) the release of the Debtors (and any of the Debtors’ assignees or successors to the applicable Assumed Contracts) from any obligations, liabilities, claims, or other rights of recovery arising thereunder.

The Assumption and Assignment Procedures provide for notice regarding such assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of the Contracts and Leases to Counterparties (such notice, substantially in the form attached to the Bidding Procedures Order as Exhibit 3, the “Assumption and Assignment Notice”). The Debtors shall provide the Assumption and Assignment Notice in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order.

MULTI-PHASE PROCESS

The marketing, bidding and sale process for the Debtors’ Assets will take place in two phases:

 

1.

Phase 1: The first phase will commence following entry of the Bidding Procedures Order and conclude upon the Indication of Interest Deadline (“Phase 1”). During Phase 1, Prospective Bidders that intend to submit a Qualified Bid must timely submit Preliminary Bid Documents and an Indication of Interest in accordance with these Bidding Procedures (the “Phase 1 Requirements”).

 

 

8 

The Supplemental Notice Plan is described in the Declaration of [] filed contemporaneously with the Sale Motion.

 

9


2.

Phase 2: The second phase will commence immediately following the Indication of Interest Deadline and will conclude at the Auction (“Phase 2”). During Phase 2, Prospective Bidders that (a) have satisfied the Phase 1 Requirements or (b) are otherwise authorized to participate in Phase 2 as determined by the Debtors, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, will have the opportunity to conduct additional due diligence and submit a Qualified Bid in accordance with these Bidding Procedures.

As described below, if a Sale Acceleration Event occurs following Phase 1, the Debtors may elect not to proceed with Phase 2 and accelerate the hearing with respect to the Sale in accordance with these Bidding Procedures.

 

I.

  (a)

an executed confidentiality agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors;

 

  (b)

Promptly after a Prospective Bidder delivers Preliminary Bid Documents, the Debtors will (a) determine and notify each Prospective Bidder as to whether such Prospective Bidder has submitted acceptable Preliminary Bid Documents and (b) provide copies of any such Preliminary Bid Documents to the Consultation Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stalking Horse Bidder is exempted from the foregoing requirements.

 

  B.

Due Diligence

Only the Stalking Horse Bidder and Prospective Bidders that have submitted Preliminary Bid Documents acceptable to the Debtors, will be eligible to receive access to the Debtors’ electronic data room and the confidential information memorandum relating to the Sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Prospective Bidder who is a competitor or customer of the Debtors or is affiliated with any competitors or customers of the Debtors, the Debtors reserve the right to withhold or modify any diligence materials that the Debtors determine are business-sensitive or otherwise inappropriate for disclosure to such bidder.

 

10


During Phase 1, the Debtors will not make their management team available for discussions with any Prospective Bidders and the Debtors will determine, in their sole discretion, whether to respond to any other additional due diligence requests.

 

  C.

All Prospective Bidders must submit to the Debtors’ investment banker, PJT Partners LP, a non-binding indication of interest (an “Indication of Interest”) by [December 14], 2022 at [4:00 p.m.] (prevailing Eastern Time) (as may be extended by the Debtors without further notice or a hearing, the “Indication of Interest Deadline”), that includes, but is not limited to, the following information:

  (f)

Prospective Plans. Each Indication of Interest must disclose a Prospective Bidder’s proposed plans for the business following consummation of the Transaction, including intentions for management, employees and facilities, as well as any relevant experience in similar transactions. In addition, if a Prospective Bidder anticipates submitting a Bid for (x) one or more Business Segments, and/or (y) all of the Specified Group One Assets, and/or (z) all of the Specified Group Two Assets (but not all or substantially all of the Debtors’ Assets), the Indication of Interest should provide that the Prospective Bidder agrees to cooperate with the Debtors and other Prospective Bidders whose Indications of Interest contemplate potential Bids for other Business Segments, and/or the Specified Group One Assets and/or the Specified Group Two Assets, as applicable, in order to facilitate the sale of one or more of the Debtors’ other Business Segments and/or the Specified Group One Assets and/or the Specified Group Two Assets, as applicable, including if required, to provide services to such other Prospective Bidders in connection therewith.

Each Indication of Interest should provide any other information that a Prospective Bidder considers relevant for the Debtors and their advisors in evaluating such Indication of Interest or that a Prospective Bidder believes will distinguish its organization and capabilities in consummating the Transaction.

 

  D.

Indication of Interest Review Process

Reasonably promptly after a Prospective Bidder delivers an Indication of Interest, the Debtors will (a) determine and notify each Prospective Bidder as to whether such Prospective Bidder has submitted an acceptable Indication of Interest in compliance with these Bidding Procedures and (b) provide copies of any such Indications of Interest to the Consultation Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stalking Horse Bidder is exempted from the requirement to submit an Indication of Interest.

If (i) a Prospective Bidder does not submit an Indication of Interest prior to the Indication of Interest Deadline or (ii) the Debtors determine, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, that (1) an Indication of Interest fails to materially comply with the requirements described in these Bidding Procedures, or (2) an Indication of Interest, viewed individually or together with other Indications of Interest, is not reasonably likely to result in the submission of a Qualified Bid, then the Debtors are authorized (but not directed) to deny the Prospective Bidder further diligence access or the opportunity to participate in Phase 2.

The Stalking Horse Bidder and each Prospective Bidder that has submitted an Indication of Interest acceptable to the Debtors by the Indication of Interest Deadline shall be an “Acceptable Bidder.”

 

  E.

Sale Hearing Acceleration

If (a) no parties submit an Indication of Interest prior to the Indication of Interest Deadline or (b) the Debtors, in their reasonable business judgment and in consultation with the Consultation Parties, determine that no Indication of Interest received prior to the Indication of Interest Deadline, viewed individually or together with other Indications of Interest, is reasonably likely to result in the submission of a Qualified Bid (the events described in clauses (a) and (b), each a “Sale Acceleration Event”), then the Debtors are authorized (but not directed) to elect not to proceed with Phase 2 (a “Sale Acceleration Election”). In the event that the Debtors make a Sale Acceleration Election, the Debtors will file with the Court, serve on the Core Notice

 

13


Parties, and cause to be published on the Case Website, a notice: (i) indicating that the Debtors will not proceed with Phase 2; (ii) naming the Stalking Horse Bidder as the sole Successful Bidder (as defined below); and (iii) setting forth the date and time of the Accelerated Sale Hearing (as defined below).

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Debtors may, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, proceed to Phase 2 even if a Sale Acceleration Event occurs.

 

II.

Phase 2 Bidder Qualifications

 

  A.

Phase 2 Due Diligence

Except as provided below, the Debtors will provide to each Acceptable Bidder reasonable due diligence information, as reasonably requested by such Acceptable Bidder in writing, and the Debtors shall post substantially all written due diligence provided to any Acceptable Bidder to the Debtors’ electronic data room; provided that the Debtors will provide to the Stalking Horse Bidder any and all due diligence information provided to any Acceptable Bidder to the extent such information has not already been provided to the Stalking Horse Bidder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following procedures shall apply to requests by Acceptable Bidders for due diligence information and to additional non-public information regarding the Debtors:

 

  (a)

The Debtors will have the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to make members of their management team available for discussions with any Acceptable Bidders relating to a potential Bid. In the event that the Debtors agree to make members of their management team available for a discussion with an Acceptable Bidder, the Debtors and their management team will have the right to determine, in their sole discretion, what, if any, information should be disclosed to the Acceptable Bidder in the course of such discussion.

 

  (b)

The Debtors, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, may decline to provide such information to Acceptable Bidders who, in the Debtors’ reasonable business judgment have not established, or who have raised doubt, that such Acceptable Bidders intend in good faith to, or have the capacity to, consummate the Transaction(s).

 

  (c)

For any Acceptable Bidder (including any Qualified Bidder) who is a competitor or customer of the Debtors or is affiliated with any competitors or customers of the Debtors, the Debtors reserve the right to withhold or modify any diligence materials that the Debtors determine are business-sensitive or otherwise inappropriate for disclosure to such bidder.

 

  (d)

The Debtors shall not be obligated to furnish any due diligence information after the Bid Deadline to any party that has not submitted a Qualified Bid (as defined below). Except as contemplated pursuant to the terms of a purchase and sale agreement with the Successful Bidder(s) (as defined below), the availability of additional due diligence to a Qualified Bidder will cease on the conclusion of the Auction.

 

14


All due diligence requests shall be directed to the Debtors’ investment banker, PJT Partners LP, 280 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (Attn: Tom Davidson (davidson@pjtpartners.com), Mark Buschmann (buschmann@pjtpartners.com), Tarek Aguizy (aguizy@pjtpartners.com), and Scott Mates (mates@pjtpartners.com)).

Acceptable Bidders will not, directly or indirectly, contact or initiate or engage in discussions in respect of matters relating to the Debtors or a potential transaction with any customer, supplier, or other Counterparties of the Debtors without the prior written consent of the Debtors.

Each Acceptable Bidder (including any Qualified Bidder), other than the Stalking Horse Bidder, shall comply with all reasonable requests for additional information and due diligence access requested by the Bid Notice Parties regarding the ability of such Acceptable Bidder (including any Qualified Bidder) to consummate its contemplated transaction. Failure by an Acceptable Bidder (including any Qualified Bidder), other than the Stalking Horse Bidder, to comply with such reasonable requests for additional information and due diligence access may be a basis for the Debtors to determine that such bidder (including any Qualified Bidder) is no longer an Acceptable Bidder or that the Bid (as defined below) made by such bidder will not be considered a Qualified Bid.

 

  B.

Qualified Bid Requirements

Both (a) a bid for all of the Assets or a portion of the Assets that comprise at least one Business Segment submitted by an Acceptable Bidder (each, a “Bid”) that is determined by the Debtors to meet the requirements set forth below and (b) the Stalking Horse Bid will be considered a “Qualified Bid.” The Stalking Horse Bidder and any other Acceptable Bidder that submits a Qualified Bid will be considered a “Qualified Bidder.”

To qualify as a Qualified Bidder, an Acceptable Bidder (other than the Stalking Horse Bidder) must deliver a Bid that meets the following criteria to the Bid Notice Parties by the Bid Deadline:

 

  (a)

Identity. Each Bid must fully disclose the legal identity of each person or entity (including such entity’s shareholders, partners, investors, and ultimate controlling entities) bidding for the Assets or otherwise participating in the Auction in connection with such Bid (including any parent companies, equity holders, or other financial backers), and the complete terms of any such participation and must also disclose any connections, arrangements or agreements, whether oral or written, with the Debtors, any other known bidder, and any officer or director of the foregoing. Each such Bid must also include contact information for the specific person(s) the Debtors should contact in the event they have questions about the Bid.

 

  (b)

Purchased Assets. Each Bid must clearly include the following:

 

15


  (i)

A clear statement that the Bid includes an offer to purchase either (1) all or substantially all of the Assets, or (2) (x) one or more Business Segments and/or (y) all of the Specified Group One Assets and/or (z) all of the Specified Group Two Assets, and expressly identify the Assets being bid upon, including any Contracts and Leases of the Debtors that would be assumed and assigned in connection with the proposed Sale (all such Contracts and Leases, the “Proposed Assumed Contracts”);

 

  (ii)

the proposed cash purchase price of the Bid (the “Bidder Cash Purchase Price”); and

 

  (iii)

the proposed liabilities to be assumed, including any debt to be assumed (together with the Bidder Cash Purchase Price, as determined by the Debtors, the “Bid Value”).

The Debtors reserve the right to ask any Acceptable Bidder to allocate the value ascribed to a Bid for any particular Asset, and to ask about any significant assumptions on which such valuations are based.

 

  (c)

Consolidated Bid. Each Bid for less than all of the Assets must identify whether or not the Acceptable Bidder is willing to aggregate its Bid into an acceptable consolidated bid with other Acceptable Bidders.

 

  (d)

Minimum Bid. The Bid Value proposed in a Bid or sum of Bids (as such Bid or Bids may be aggregated with other Acceptable Bidders) must exceed the Stalking Horse Bid and, taking into account both the Bidder Cash Purchase Price and any cash to be retained by the Debtors, must (i) provide for the indefeasible payment in cash in an amount that exceeds the sum, without duplication, of the following amounts: (1) the amount of the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, plus (2) $5 million in cash on account of certain unencumbered Transferred Assets, plus (3) the Wind-Down Amount, plus (4) the Stalking Horse Expense Reimbursement (collectively, the “Minimum Bid Amount”), and (ii) provide for the funding of (1) the Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts, plus (2) all outstanding fees and expenses due to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) under the Cash Collateral Order, plus (3) Non-U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes. If the Acceptable Bidder believes that the Bid Value relative to the Stalking Horse Bid should include additional non-cash components (such as fewer contingencies than are in the Stalking Horse Agreement), the Bid must include a detailed analysis of the value of any such additional non-cash components and any back-up documentation to support such value.

 

  (e)

Credit Bid. The Stalking Horse Bid includes the Stalking Horse Credit Bid and is a Qualified Bid.

Unless otherwise consented to by the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors, any other Acceptable Bidder (including any of the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) or their respective

 

16


designees) whose Bid contemplates a credit bid for any or all of the Debtors’ Assets shall (i) deliver to PJT Partners LP at the time of the submission of its Indication of Interest written evidence of its financial wherewithal (as of the date of such commitment) to fund the Bidder Cash Purchase Price upon the closing of the Sale; and (ii) provide in its Bid for the payment in cash in at least the dollar amount equivalent of the sum of (1) the Minimum Bid Amount, plus (2) the Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts, plus (3) all outstanding fees and expenses due to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties under the Cash Collateral Order, plus (4) the Non-U.S. Sale Transaction Taxes.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting any other Qualified Bid requirements set forth herein, any bid by any of the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties or their respective designees, by credit bid or otherwise, shall provide at the closing of the applicable Transaction that (a) the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, the Stalking Horse Expense Reimbursement, and all outstanding fees and expenses due under the Cash Collateral Order are indefeasibly paid in cash to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties and (b) the Wind-Down Amount and Pre-Closing Professional Fee Reserve Amounts are indefeasibly paid in full in cash or from cash retained by the Debtors.

 

  (f)

Good Faith Deposit. Each Bid must provide a deposit of ten percent (a “Good Faith Deposit”) of the Acceptable Bidder’s proposed Bid Value. The Debtors reserve their rights, in their sole discretion, to waive the requirement to provide a Good Faith Deposit with respect to any Bid by the Prepetition Second Lien Notes Secured Parties; provided that such determination will be made prior to the deadline to object to the Bidding Procedures Motion. Good Faith Deposits shall be deposited prior to the Bid Deadline with an escrow agent selected by the Debtors (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement to be provided by the Debtors to the Acceptable Bidders, and Qualified Bidders shall provide information reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent to establish the deposit, including “know your customer” information. All Good Faith Deposits of Acceptable Bidders shall be released in accordance with the provisions of these Bidding Procedures.

To the extent that an Acceptable Bidder increases its Bid at or prior to the Auction and such Acceptable Bidder is deemed a Successful Bidder or a Back-Up Bidder (as defined below), the bidder must pay an additional amount into escrow, on or before [March 8], 2023, such that the final Good Faith Deposit for the Bid equals ten percent of the Bidder Cash Purchase Price.

 

  (g)

Proposed Purchase and Sale Agreement. Each Bid must constitute an irrevocable offer and be in the form of a purchase and sale agreement reflecting the terms and conditions of the Bid (a “Proposed PSA”), which Proposed PSA must be marked to reflect the amendments and modifications made to the proposed form of the Stalking Horse Agreement, which amendments and modifications may not be materially more burdensome than the Stalking Horse Agreement or otherwise inconsistent with these Bidding Procedures. The Debtors, in their reasonable business judgement, will determine whether any such amendments and modifications are materially more burdensome.

  (b)

the Bid Value;

 

  (c)

the contracts included in or excluded from the Bid, including any Proposed Assumed Contracts;

  (f)

whether the Bid provides for indemnities for collateral trustees to the extent requested by such trustees in connection with the execution of any required enforcement of security to the extent such indemnity is requested by the First Lien Collateral Trustee;

whether the Bid provides for the establishment of a trust or other consideration for the benefit of opioid claimants or other means to address opioid claims against the Debtors as well as the terms of such trust or mechanism; and

 

  (l)

The Debtors, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, will make a determination regarding which Bids qualify as a Qualified Bids, and will notify Acceptable Bidders whether they have been selected as Qualified Bidders before or on [March 2], 2023 at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time). For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise consented to by the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors in their sole discretion, a Bid (or sum of Bids) shall not qualify as a Qualified Bid unless such Bid(s) (a) provides for a Bidder Cash Purchase Price that is equal to or exceeds the Minimum Bid Amount and (b) contemplates the indefeasible payment to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties at the closing of the applicable Transaction in cash and in at least the dollar amount equivalent of the sum of (i) the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, plus (ii) the Stalking Horse Reimbursement, plus (iii) all outstanding fees and expenses due under the Cash Collateral Order (without duplication of the Stalking Horse Reimbursement), to be paid from the Bidder Cash Purchase Price and/or cash on the Debtors’ balance sheet that is not subject to such Bid.

The Debtors reserve the right to, in advance of the Auction, work with: (a) any Prospective Bidder to cure any deficiencies in the Prospective Bidder’s Preliminary Bid Documents causing such Prospective Bidder to not initially be deemed an Acceptable Bidder and (b) any Acceptable Bidder to cure any deficiencies in the Acceptable Bidder’s Bid causing such Bid to not initially be deemed a Qualified Bid. Without the prior written consent of the Debtors, a Qualified Bidder may not modify, amend, or withdraw its Qualified Bid, except for proposed amendments to increase the cash purchase price or otherwise improve the terms of the Qualified Bid. If the Debtors, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, determine that there is more than one Qualified Bid, then the Debtors are authorized to conduct an Auction.

If the Debtors conduct an Auction, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, the Debtors shall make a determination regarding the following:

 

  (a)

the highest or best Qualified Bid(s) (the “Baseline Bid”) to serve as the starting point at the Auction; and

 

  (b)

which bids have been determined to be Qualified Bids.

The Debtors will consult with the Consultation Parties regarding the designation of the Baseline Bid and, at least 24 hours before the start of the Auction, confirm the identity of the designated Baseline Bid and provide copies of such Baseline Bid to the Consultation Parties and the Stalking Horse Bidder.

 

22


THE AUCTION

If the Debtors make a Sale Acceleration Election, the Debtors will not conduct an Auction for the Stalking Horse Bid. In addition, if the Debtors do not make a Sale Acceleration Election but no Qualified Bid other than the Stalking Horse Bid is received by the Bid Deadline, the Debtors will not conduct an Auction for the Stalking Horse Bid, and shall file with the Court, serve on the Core Notice Parties, and cause to be published on the Case Website a notice: (a) indicating that the Auction for the Stalking Horse Bid has been cancelled; (b) naming the Stalking Horse Bidder as the sole Successful Bidder, and (c) setting forth the date and time of the Sale Hearing.

The proceedings of the Auction will be transcribed, video recorded, or both transcribed and video recorded. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Debtors, after consultation with the Consultation Parties, may at any time choose to adjourn the Auction by announcement at the Auction. The Debtors shall promptly file notice of such adjournment with the Court.

 

I.

Auction Procedures

The Auction shall be governed by the following procedures, subject to the Debtors’ right to modify such procedures in their reasonable business judgment and in a manner consistent with their fiduciary duties and applicable law, including, for example and without limitation, other procedures necessary for the Debtors to consider any bids to purchase fewer than all of the Assets:

 

  (a)

Participation. Only Qualified Bidders (along with their respective representatives and advisors) are eligible to participate in the Auction, subject to other limitations as may be reasonably imposed by the Debtors in accordance with these Bidding Procedures. Only Qualified Bidders will be entitled to make bids at the Auction. The Debtors may, in their reasonable business judgment, establish a reasonable limit on the number of representatives and professional advisors that may appear on behalf of or accompany each Qualified Bidder and other parties in interest at the Auction.

 

23


  (b)

In-Person Bidding. Qualified Bidders participating in the Auction must appear in person at the Auction, or through a duly authorized representative. All persons appearing in person at the Auction shall be in compliance with all health policies generally applicable to visitors at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, which, as of the date hereof, requires visitors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The Auction will be conducted openly, and all Qualified Bidders shall have the right to submit additional bids and make modifications to their Proposed PSA at the Auction to improve their bids. The Debtors may, in their reasonable business judgment, negotiate with any and all Qualified Bidders participating in the Auction.

 

  (c)

No Collusion. Each Qualified Bidder participating in the Auction will be required to confirm in writing and on the record at the Auction that (i) it has not engaged in any collusion with respect to the submission of any bid or the Auction, and (ii) its Qualified Bid represents a binding, good faith, and bona fide offer to purchase the Assets if selected as a Successful Bidder.

 

  (d)

Bidding Increments. Bidding shall commence at the amount of the Baseline Bid(s). Qualified Bidders may submit successive bids higher than the previous bid, based on and increased from the Baseline Bid(s). The Debtors shall, in consultation with the Consultation Parties, announce at the outset of the Auction the minimum required increments for successive Qualified Bids (the “Minimum Overbids”). The Debtors may, in their reasonable business judgment, announce increases or reductions to Minimum Overbids at any time during the Auction. After the first round of bidding and between each subsequent round of bidding, the Debtors shall announce the Bid that they believe to be the highest or best offer (each such bid, a “Leading Bid”). Each round of bidding will conclude after each participating Qualified Bidder has had the opportunity to submit a subsequent bid with full knowledge of the Leading Bid.

 

  (e)

Highest or Best Offer. The Debtors shall have the right to determine, in their reasonable business judgment, which bid (or combination of bids) is the highest or best bid and reject, at any time, any bid that the Debtors deem to be inadequate or insufficient, not in conformity with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the Southern District of New York (the “Local Rules”), these Bidding Procedures, any order of the Court, or the best interests of the Debtors and their estates; provided, however, that a Bid (or sum of Bids) shall not qualify as the highest or best Bid(s) unless (i) the Bid Value provides for a Bidder Cash Purchase Price that is equal to or exceeds the Minimum Bid Amount and (ii) the Bid contemplates the indefeasible payment to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties at the closing of the applicable Sale in cash and in at least the dollar amount equivalent of the sum of (1) the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, plus (2) the Stalking Horse Reimbursement, plus (3) all outstanding fees and expenses due to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties under the Cash Collateral Order (without duplication of the Stalking Horse Reimbursement), to be paid from the Bidder Cash Purchase Price and/or cash on the Debtors’ balance sheet that is not subject to such Bid.

II.

Auction Results

 

  A.

Successful Bid

In consultation with the Consultation Parties, and subject to approval by the Court the Debtors shall (a) determine, consistent with these Bidding Procedures, which Qualified Bid or combination of Qualified Bids constitutes the highest or otherwise best offer for the purchase of the Assets (each such bid, a “Successful Bid” and jointly, to the extent applicable, the “Successful Bid(s)”); and (b) notify all Qualified Bidders at the Auction of the identity of the bidder or bidders who submitted the Successful Bid (each such bidder, a “Successful Bidder” and jointly, to the extent applicable, the “Successful Bidder(s)”), the amount of the purchase price, and other material terms of the Successful Bid(s). In selecting the Successful Bid(s), the Debtors may consider all factors, including the amount of the purchase price, the form and total amount of consideration being offered, the likelihood of each Qualified Bidder’s ability to close a transaction and the timing thereof, the form and substance of the Proposed PSA requested by each Qualified Bidder, and the net benefit to the Debtors’ estates. In addition, to the extent any Prospective Bidder submits a Bid that includes the establishment of one or more trusts for the benefit of opioid claimants on substantially similar terms to those agreed by the Stalking Horse Bidder, the Debtors shall take the provision of such trust into consideration in determining whether such Bid is the Successful Bid. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors shall not be allowed to determine that a Bid (or sum of Bids) qualifies as the Successful Bid unless (i) the Bid Value provides for a Bidder Cash Purchase Price that is equal to or exceeds the Minimum Bid Amount and (ii) the Bid contemplates the indefeasible payment to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties at the closing of the applicable Sale in cash and in at least the dollar amount equivalent of the sum of (1) the Prepetition First Lien Indebtedness, plus (2) the Stalking Horse Reimbursement, plus (3) all outstanding fees and expenses due to the Prepetition First Lien Secured Parties under the Cash Collateral Order (without duplication of the Stalking Horse Reimbursement), to be paid from the Bidder Cash Purchase Price and/or cash on the Debtors’ balance sheet that is not subject to such Bid.

 

  B.

Back-Up Bids

In consultation with the Consultation Parties, and subject to approval by the Court, the Debtors shall (a) determine, consistent with these Bidding Procedures, which Qualified Bid or combination of Qualified Bids constitute the next highest or next best offer after the Successful Bid(s) (each such bid, a “Back-Up Bid” and jointly, to the extent applicable, the “Back-Up Bid(s)”); and (b) notify all Qualified Bidders at the Auction of the identities of the Back-Up Bidder(s), the amount of the purchase price, and other material terms of the Back-Up Bid(s). The Back-Up Bid(s) shall remain open and irrevocable until the Back-Up Bid Outside Date. If the Sale with a Successful Bidder is terminated prior to the Back-Up Bid Outside Date, the Back-Up Bidder(s) shall be deemed the new Successful Bidder(s) and shall be obligated to consummate each Back-Up Bid as if it were a Successful Bid at the Auction.

 

  C.

Notice of Auction Results

If the Debtors hold the Auction, the Debtors will, as soon as reasonably practicable after selecting the Successful Bid(s), file (but not serve) and publish on the Case Website a notice of the results of the Auction (such notice, the “Notice of Auction Results”).

The Successful Bidder(s) shall, on or before the date that is one calendar day after the filing of the Notice of Auction Results, submit to the Debtors fully executed revised documentation memorializing the terms of the Successful Bid(s). The Successful Bid(s) may not be assigned to any party without the consent of the Debtors.

DISPOSITION OF GOOD FAITH DEPOSITS

 

I.

Acceptable Bidders

On or before the date that is four business days after the Bid Deadline, the Escrow Agent shall return to each Acceptable Bidder that was determined not to be a Qualified Bidder, as confirmed by the Debtors, such Acceptable Bidder’s Good Faith Deposit, plus any interest accrued thereon.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Stalking Horse Bidder shall not be required to post a Good Faith Deposit.

 

II.

Qualified Bidders

 

  (a)

Forfeiture of Good Faith Deposit. The Good Faith Deposit of a Qualified Bidder will be forfeited to the Debtors if (a) the applicable Qualified Bidder attempts to modify, amend, or withdraw its Qualified Bid, except as permitted by these Bidding Procedures, during the time the Qualified Bid remains binding and irrevocable under these Bidding Procedures; or (b) the Qualified Bidder is selected as a Successful Bidder and fails to enter into the required definitive documentation or to consummate a Sale in accordance with these Bidding Procedures and the terms of the transaction documents with respect to the applicable Successful Bid.

  (b)

Return of Good Faith Deposit.

Successful Bidder(s). Before the Debtors designate any Qualified Bidder as the Successful Bidder, such Qualified Bidder (other than the Stalking Horse Bidder) shall deposit into escrow the incremental Good Faith Deposit amount required under these Bidding Procedures. The Good Faith Deposit of the Successful Bidder(s) shall be applied against the cash portion of the purchase price of the Successful Bid(s) upon the consummation of the Sale.

 

III.

Escrow Instructions

The Debtors and, as applicable, the Acceptable Bidder, Qualified Bidder, and Back-Up Bidder(s) agree to execute an appropriate joint notice to the Escrow Agent providing instructions for the return of any Good Faith Deposit, to the extent such return is required by these Bidding Procedures. If either party fails to execute such written notice, the Good Faith Deposit may only be released by an order of the Court.

FIDUCIARY OUT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bidding Procedures or the Bidding Procedures Order, nothing in these Bidding Procedures or the Bidding Procedures Order shall require a Debtor or the board of directors or other governing body of a Debtor to take any action or to refrain from taking any action to the extent the board of directors or other governing body of such Debtor determines in good faith after consultation with counsel that continued performance under these Bidding Procedures or the Bidding Procedures Order (including taking any action or refraining from taking any action) would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Project Zed FOOTNOTES General: 1. The key assumptions underlying the wind-down budget include: a. Sale: All debtor assets are sold and equity of non-debtor entities are sold to a purchaser (“Purchaser”). All (x) administrative claims arising prior to the sale closing, (y) litigation claims reserves and (z) other reserves contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement and sale term sheet are assumed to be satisfied as part of the sale closing and are not included in the sizing of the wind-down budget b. Liquidation: Chapter 11 liquidating plan c. Claims Administration: At sale closing, the debtors will decide whether to proceed with issuing a bar date notice to all general unsecured creditors and undertake related claims processing, taking into account the anticipated recovery to general unsecured creditors and the cost of such notice and processing d. Timeline: 6-month timeframe for wind-down (i.e., plan of liquidation process) from the date of the sale-closing, followed by a 3-month post-emergence wind-down period e. Remaining Entities: All entities, other than the Indian entities, assumed to remain after the asset sale closing and are part of the wind-down process being contemplated in these materials under a Ch 11 liquidating plan (collectively, the “Remaining Entities”) f. Regulatory Approvals: This budget assumes that all necessary regulatory requirements are achieved within the 6-month wind-down period. Any incremental regulatory timing delays will result in incremental costs which are not included in this wind-down budget g. Remaining Operations / Business: None; all assumed to be part of the sale h. Remaining Claims: Certain derivative claims, unencumbered assets, and avoidance causes of action are acquired by Purchaser and are not pursued post-closing i. Taxes Arising in Connection with Sale: All non-US taxes arising directly or indirectly from the transaction will be paid pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) j. Priority Claims: The Debtors, after consultation with the Ad Hoc First Lien Group, reserve the right to use a portion of the funds under the wind-down budget to settle priority claims k. Professional Fees: Assumes all accrued and unpaid professional fees prior to the sale-closing date are paid in full in cash pursuant to the terms under the PSA l. Return of Funds: Debtors proposed wind-down budget would provide that any excess cash remaining after dissolution of the Remaining Entities would revert to the Purchaser m. Domicile: The location of the Debtors’ businesses, including their tax domiciles, remain the same


LOGO

Wind-Down Costs: 2. Personnel Costs (via TSA): Reflects finance, IT and legal personnel who are providing services via the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) to assist with wind-down workstreams. Wind-down budget assumes these to be provided by the Purchaser at no cost. 3. Information Technology Costs: Includes services from an outsourced IT service provider, license and subscription costs. Wind-down budget assumes these to be provided by the Purchaser at no cost. 4. TSA Costs: TSA costs for accessing historical records and IT systems. Wind-down budget assumes these to be provided by the Purchaser at no cost. TSA income for services provided by the Remaining Entities to the Purchaser are assumed to be zero for purposes of the wind-down budget 5. Governance – US Board Fees/Insurance: Assumes the US board of directors is replaced by two independent directors ($75k/quarter) 6. Governance – Foreign Director Fees/Insurance: Includes lower of (i) current payroll cost; or (ii) $75k/quarter for existing directors at Canadian, Ireland, Luxembourg, UK and Bermuda 7. 503(b)(9) and Other Administrative Claims: Assumes that most of the 503(b)(9) claims and operating costs incurred immediately prior to the sale-closing date that have been incurred but not yet paid are either paid prior to the sale-closing date or are covered separately under the PSA. In the event that the debtors propose to settle any administrative claims arising from the sale transaction, such settlement amount must be funded first from this line and then must be limited to amounts available in the contingency line, unless otherwise agreed to by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group 8. Other Costs: Other filing and regulatory fees Professional Fees: 9. Legal Counsel – Primary: Reflects costs for US legal counsel to pursue liquidating chapter 11 plan and satisfy all related Bankruptcy Code requirements for the same, wind-down related activities, coordinate non-U.S. based insolvency proceedings, other bankruptcy court requirements, tax, and regulatory workstreams 10. Legal Counsel – SDNY (Efficiency/Conflicts Counsel): Reflects costs for US conflicts and efficiency counsel in SDNY for remaining bankruptcy-related wind-down work, court filings, monthly operating report reviews court hearings required for the wind-down of the entities, and matters requiring conflicts counsel 11. Financial Advisor – Primary: Includes costs for monthly operating reports, TSA cost tracking, wind-down budget reporting, priority, administrative and 503(b)(9) claims reconciliation, overseeing personnel, IT and liquidity management 12. Financial Advisor – Data Retention: No costs are estimated as this assumes that the Purchaser adheres to data retention requirements and provides access to all necessary IT systems in order to facilitate the wind-down process


LOGO

Financial Advisor – Tax: Reflects all-in global tax advisory fees to complete the relevant forms, preparing supporting calculations and handling associated interactions with global, fed and state taxing authorities. This assumes that the wind-down period does not straddle two tax years, which would otherwise require an incremental $2.4 million per annum Other Liquidation Proceeding – FA/Counsel): Includes Canada, Ireland, Bermuda, Luxembourg, England, and Cyprus Official Opioid Committee – FA/Counsel: In the event there is an OOC, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind-down budget. Future Claims Rep – FA/Counsel: In the event there is an FCR, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind- down budget. Unsecured Creditors Committee – FA/Counsel: In the event there is an UCC, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind-down budget. Bar Date Noticing and Claims Processing: Ballot and bar date noticing and POC administration associated costs. In the event it is determined that there is a recovery available for general unsecured creditors, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties taking into account the foregoing costs, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind- down budget. UST Quarterly Fees: Assumes quarterly fees of (i) 1% of total wind-down budget disbursements (max cap is intentionally ignored to account for multiple entities making disbursements); and (ii) $325 filing fee for [150] legal entities

Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet

This Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet dated August 16, 2022, by and among the Debtors, the Consenting First Lien Creditors, and the Initial Supporting Governmental Entities (as defined below) describes the proposed settlement of Opioid Claims in connection with the Restructuring contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, as well as certain related implementation and other matters being resolved pursuant to the resolution of Opioid Claims through the establishment of voluntary trusts by the Purchaser (as defined herein) as described herein (the “Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement”). This Voluntary Opioid Trust 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 Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet have the meanings assigned in the Restructuring Support Agreement or the Restructuring Term Sheet, as applicable.

This Voluntary Opioid Trust 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 Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement, which remain subject to negotiation in accordance with the terms herein and the Restructuring Support Agreement, as applicable.

The Purchaser will, upon the consummation of a Sale Transaction (as defined in the Restructuring Term Sheet), provide for the establishment of the Public Opioid Settlement Trust (as defined below), which will be settled with the Public Settlement Trust Consideration (as defined below) provided by the Purchaser. As a condition to the participation in the Public Opioid Settlement Trust by a Participating Public Opioid Claimant, such Participating Public Opioid Claimant shall release all of its Opioid Claims against the Debtors, the Purchaser and the other Released Parties and shall be consensually enjoined from asserting any such Opioid Claims against the Debtors, the Purchaser, and the other Released Parties.

 

The Purchaser will also provide for the establishment of a settlement trust in which Private Opioid Claimants will be entitled to participate (the “Private Opioid Settlement Trust”), the terms of which shall be subject to definitive documentation in form and substance acceptable


 

to the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors and the Purchaser. As a condition to the participation in the Private Opioid Settlement Trust by a Participating Private Opioid Claimant, such Participating Private Opioid Claimant shall release all of its Opioid Claims against the Debtors, the Purchaser and the other Released Parties and shall be enjoined from asserting any such Opioid Claims against the Debtors, the Purchaser, and the other Released Parties.

It is contemplated that, for efficiency purposes to reduce the administrative costs associated with trust administration, the Tribal Opioid Settlement Trust may be created as a sub-trust to the Public Opioid Settlement Trust. As a condition to the participation in the Tribal Opioid Settlement Trust by a Participating Tribal Opioid Claimant, such Participating Tribal Opioid Claimant shall release all of its Opioid Claims against the Debtors, the Purchaser, and the other Released Parties and shall be enjoined from asserting any such Opioid Claims against the Debtors, the Purchaser, and the other Released Parties.

The Public Opioid Settlement Trust shall be funded in accordance with the provisions of this Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet. The sole recourse of any Participating Public Opioid Claimant on account of any Opioid Claim shall be to the Public Opioid Settlement Trust, and each such Participating Public Opioid Claimant shall have no right whatsoever at any time to assert any Opioid Claim against any Released Party. For the avoidance of doubt, and as will be provided for in the Sale Order, the Purchaser shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to any Opioid Claim.

[NTD: Procedures for political subdivision participation to be determined by the parties.]


 

Committee (the “Endo EC”) shall retain the right to object to any Qualified Bid by, or sale to, a third party (i.e., a party other than the Purchaser) irrespective of whether such Qualified Bid and/or sale provides for the establishment of an opioid trust or similar mechanism.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Public Opioid Trust Documents shall be construed to waive or otherwise impact any regulatory approval process required by the States (including their respective state agencies) in connection with the Sale.

 

Any Public Opioid Claimant that has failed to elect to participate in the Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Public Opioid Trust Documents (including with respect to the releases and injunctive terms described herein and therein), shall not be permitted to subsequently participate in the Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement.

Participation By Prior Settling States in Public Settlement

An Opt-In Prior Settling State shall retain the Retained Amount, and the retention of the Retained Amount by an Opt-In Prior Settling State shall constitute full satisfaction of the obligation of the Public Opioid Settlement Trust to make distributions to the Opt-In Prior Settling State. Subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, the Opt-In Prior Settling State shall receive a full and complete release from any claim for the return of settlement funds under chapter 5 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

 

For any Prior Settling State that chooses not to participate in the Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement and the Public Settlement Opioid Trust, the Debtors’ estates (including its successors and assigns), on the one hand, and the Prior Settling State, on the other hand, shall retain whatever rights and remedies are available to each under applicable law and the respective settlement agreements.

reimbursement of any plaintiffs’/claimants attorneys’ fees and costs for any Participating Opioid Claimants (or a group thereof) (other than the Endo EC Professional Fees) (the “Public Trust Expenses”) shall, in accordance with the Public Opioid Trust Documents, be paid from the Public Settlement Trust Consideration, and shall not be an obligation of the Purchaser, the Obligors, or the Debtors.

 

All expenses for the administration of the Private Opioid Settlement Trust and the Tribal Opioid Settlement Trust, related trustees and trustee professionals, and the reimbursement of any plaintiffs’/claimants attorneys’ fees and costs for any Participating Private Opioid Claimants (or a group thereof) or any Participating Tribal Opioid Claimants (or a group thereof) (the “Non-Public Trust Expenses”) shall, in accordance with the applicable documents governing the Private Opioid Settlement Trust and the Tribal Opioid Settlement Trust, respectively, be paid from the Private Settlement Trust Consideration and the Tribal Settlement Trust Consideration, respectively, and Non-Public Trust Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Purchaser, the Obligors, or the Debtors.

Tax Matters  

The Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement shall be implemented with the objective of maximizing tax efficiency to the Purchaser, including with respect to the availability, location and timing of tax deductions.

 

Each of the Public Opioid Settlement Trust, the Private Opioid Settlement Trust, and the Tribal Opioid Settlement Trust is intended to be treated as a qualified settlement fund for tax purposes and the Parties agree to treat it as such to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

The Parties intend that payments to the Public Settlement Opioid Trust, the Private Opioid Settlement Trust, and the Tribal Opioid Settlement Trust will constitute “restitution” within the meaning of Section 162(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Parties agree to treat them as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent allowed by applicable law.

Public Opioid Trust Documents   The Public Opioid Trust Documents shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors, the Endo EC, and the Debtors; provided that approval of such Public Opioid Trust Documents shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Participating Opioid Claimant Release & Injunction   The Sale Order will contain (i) a release by Participating Opioid Claimants and (ii) an injunction enjoining all Opioid Claims of Participating Opioid Claimants against the Released Parties, in each case, substantially on the terms set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto; provided that the injunction of Participating Public Opioid Claimants and Opt-In Prior Settling States shall be consensual.7

[NTD: form of release by governmental entities will be limited to opioid claims.]


Operating Injunction   The Purchaser and applicable subsidiaries shall be subject to an injunctive order on the terms set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto (the “Operating Injunction”).
Sale Process   In connection with the Sale Process, the Bidding Procedures shall provide that the Debtors will take into account whether any Qualified Bid (and any subsequent bid submitted at the Auction) provides for the establishment of an opioid trust or similar mechanism for the benefit of Participating Public Opioid Claimants, as well as the terms of such trust or mechanism.
Document Repository  

In addition to the Public Settlement Payments, the Company, on the later of the Closing Date and the effective date of the Debtors’ chapter 11 plan, but in any event no later than immediately prior to conversion or dismissal of the chapter 11, or the Purchaser, upon consummation of the Sale Transaction, shall undertake to pay $2.75 million to help defray the costs and expenses of the establishment and maintenance of public document repository (the “Document Repository”). All costs and expenses in excess of this amount shall be paid by the Gross Public Settlement.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, this amount is in addition to the Company’s obligation to pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated with the review of the Company’s documents to be disclosed through the Document Repository, as set forth in the Operating Injunction.

 

Also for the avoidance of doubt, and as set forth in the Operating Injunction, the provisions of the Operating Injunction shall apply to the operation of Endo’s opioid business by any subsequent purchaser.

Independence of Public Opioid Settlement   The terms of the Voluntary Opioid Trust Settlement as set forth herein are and will be independent of and not conditioned upon (a) any settlement(s) with Private Opioid Claimants or (b) any settlement(s) being accepted by such Private Opioid Claimants. The Consenting First Lien Creditors, the Debtors and the Endo EC acknowledge that the Endo EC has not negotiated any term of the settlement trusts described herein other than with respect to Public Opioid Claims, and that provisions herein relating to the Tribal Opioid Claimants and Private Opioid Claimants represent a proposal for the establishment of settlement trusts subject to voluntary participation therein by such respective claimants.


Other Settlements   Nothing in this Voluntary Opioid Trust Term Sheet limits the ability of the Debtors or the Required Consenting First Lien Creditors to reach agreements and/or settlements with other creditors (including with respect to opioid-related claims) that do not impair or otherwise change the terms set forth herein.

  7.

Nothing herein shall prevent Endo from sponsoring or providing financial support or In-Kind Support for an accredited or approved continuing medical education program required by either an FDA-approved Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”) program or other federal or state law or regulation applicable in the state where the program is provided through an independent Third Party, which shall be responsible for the continuing medical education program’s content without the participation of Endo.

 

D.

No Financial Reward or Discipline Based on Volume of Opioid Sales

 

  1.

Endo shall not provide financial incentives to its sales and marketing employees or discipline its sales and marketing employees based upon sales volume or sales quotas for Opioid Products. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not prohibit financial incentives (e.g., customary raises or bonuses) based on the performance of the overall company or branded, generics, or sterile injectable business segments, as measured by EBITDA, revenue, cash flow, or other similar financial metrics.

 

7


  2.

Endo shall not offer or pay any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate) directly or indirectly to or from any person in return for the prescribing, sale, or use of an Opioid Product. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not prohibit rebates or chargebacks to the extent permitted by other provisions of this Agreement.

 

  3.

Endo’s compensation policies and procedures shall ensure compliance with this Agreement.

 

E.

Ban on Funding/Grants to Third Parties

 

  1.

Subject to subsections III.C.2, 4, 6 and 7, Endo shall not, directly or indirectly, provide financial support or In-Kind Support to any Third Party for Promotion of or education about Opioids, Opioid Products, products indicated for the treatment of Opioid-induced side effects, or the Treatment of Pain. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not prohibit support expressly allowed by this Agreement or required by a federal or state agency. This provision does not prohibit an accredited independent continuing medical education grant related to TLC599 or Lidoderm (or any other non-Opioid products or therapies that Endo and the Participating States may subsequently agree shall not be subject to this provision) given in accordance with the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education of the ACCME.

 

  2.

Endo shall not create, sponsor, provide financial support or In-Kind Support to, or otherwise operate or control any medical society or patient advocacy group that primarily engages in conduct that Promotes Opioids, Opioid Products, or the Treatment of Pain. This provision does not prohibit an accredited independent continuing medical education grant related to TLC599 or Lidoderm (or any other non-Opioid products or therapies that Endo and the Participating States may subsequently agree shall not be subject to this provision) given in accordance with the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education of the ACCME.

 

  3.

Subject to subsections III.C.2, 4, 6 and 7, Endo shall not provide links to any Third Party website or materials or otherwise distribute materials created by a Third Party for the purpose of Promoting Opioids, Opioid Products, products indicated for the treatment of Opioid-induced side effects, or the Treatment of Pain.

  6.

Endo shall not compensate or provide In-Kind Support to Health Care Providers (other than Endo employees) or organizations to advocate for formulary access or treatment guideline changes for the purpose of increasing access to any Opioid Product through third-party payers, i.e., any entity, other than an individual, that pays or reimburses for the dispensing of prescription medicines, including but not limited to managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers. Nothing in this provision, however, prohibits Endo from using independent contractors who operate under the direction of Endo to provide information to a payor, formulary committee, or other similar entity as permitted in subsection III.C.2, provided that any such persons are bound by the terms of this Agreement. Nor does this provision prohibit the payment of customary rebates or other pricing concessions to third-party payers, including state Medicaid programs, as part of an overall pricing agreement.

 

  7.

No officer or management-level employee (vice president-level or above) of Endo may concurrently serve as a director, board member, employee, agent, or officer of any entity (other than Endo International plc or a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary thereof) that primarily engages in conduct that Promotes Opioids, Opioid Products, products indicated for the treatment of Opioid-related side effects, or the Treatment of Pain. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this provision shall preclude an officer or management-level employee of Endo from concurrently serving on the board of a hospital.

 

  8.

Endo shall play no role in appointing persons to the board, or hiring persons to the staff, of any entity (other than Endo International plc or a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary thereof) that primarily engages in conduct that Promotes Opioids, Opioid Products, products indicated for the treatment of Opioid-induced side effects, or products indicated for the Treatment of Pain.

  9.

For the avoidance of doubt:

 

  a.

Nothing in this section III.E shall be construed or used to prohibit Endo from providing financial or In-Kind Support to:

 

  i

medical societies and patient advocate groups who are principally involved in issues relating to (I) the treatment of OUD; (II) the prevention, education and treatment of opioid abuse, addiction, or overdose, including medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction; and/or (III) rescue medications for opioid overdose; or

The prohibitions in this section III.E shall not apply to engagement with Third Parties based on activities related to (i) medications with an FDA-approved label that lists only the treatment of opioid abuse, addiction, dependence and/or overdose as their “indications and usage,” to the extent they are sold to addiction treatment facilities; (ii) raw materials, APIs and/or immediate precursors used in the manufacture or study of Opioids or Opioid Products, but only when such materials, APIs and/or immediate precursors are sold or marketed exclusively to DEA registrants or sold outside the United States or its territories; or (iii) education warning about drug abuse or promoting prevention or treatment of drug misuse.

 

  c.

Endo will be in compliance with subsections III.E.2 and III.E.3 with respect to support of an individual Third Party to the extent that a Participating State determines that such support does not increase the risk of the inappropriate use of Opioids and that Endo has not acted for the purpose of increasing the use of Opioids.

I.

Miscellaneous Terms

 

  1.

To the extent that any provision in this Agreement conflicts with federal or relevant state law or regulation, the requirements of the law or regulation will prevail. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is in conflict with federal or relevant state law or regulation such that Endo cannot comply with both the law or regulation and the provision of this Agreement, Endo may comply with such law or regulation. In the event Endo identifies such a conflict, it shall provide written notice to the Attorney General of the relevant State(s) pursuant to section V.D below.

 

  2.

The Participating States and Endo enter into this Agreement solely for the purpose of settlement, and nothing contained therein may be taken as or construed to be an admission or concession concerning the strength or weakness of any claim or defense, or concerning any other matter of fact or law. Endo expressly denies any violation of law, rule, or regulation or any liability or wrongdoing. No part of this Agreement, including its statements and commitments, shall constitute evidence of any liability, fault, or wrongdoing by Endo. Nor shall any part of this Agreement be construed as approval by any Participating State of any prior business act or practice. This Agreement is not intended for use by any Third Party for any purpose, including submission to any court for any purpose.

The lead Qualified Researcher may also share findings bearing on the risk-benefit assessment regarding the product with regulatory authorities. Endo’s pharmacovigilance staff shall take all necessary and appropriate steps upon receipt of such safety information, including but not limited to notifying the appropriate regulatory authorities or the public.

 

  e.

Endo shall bear all costs for making data and/or information available to the third-party data archive.

V. ENFORCEMENT

 

A.

For the purpose of resolving disputes with respect to Endo’s compliance with this Agreement, should any Participating State have a reasonable basis to believe that Endo has engaged in a practice that violates a provision of this Agreement, such Participating State shall notify Endo in writing of the specific objection, identify with particularity the provision of the Agreement that the practice allegedly violates, and give Endo thirty (30) days to respond in writing to the notification; provided, however, that any Participating State may take any action authorized by law if such Participating State believes that, because of the specific practice, a threat to health or safety of the public requires immediate action.

 

B.

Upon receipt of written notice, Endo shall provide a good-faith written response to the applicable Participating State’s notification, containing either a statement explaining why Endo believes it is in compliance with the relevant provision of the Agreement, or a detailed explanation of how the alleged violation occurred and a statement explaining how and when Endo intends to remedy or has remedied the alleged breach. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit a Participating State’s investigative authority with respect to conduct occurring after the Effective Date, to the extent such authority exists

 

17


  under applicable law, after providing Endo an opportunity to respond to the notification described in section V.A above, and Endo reserves all of its rights in responding to a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) or investigative subpoena issued pursuant to such authority.

 

C.

The applicable Participating State may agree, in writing, to provide Endo with additional time beyond thirty (30) days to respond to a notice provided under section V.A above.

 

D.

In the event of a conflict between the requirements of the Agreement and any other law, regulation, or requirement such that Endo cannot comply with the law without violating the terms of the Agreement or being subject to adverse action, including fines or penalties, Endo shall document such conflicts and notify the applicable Participating State of the extent to which Endo will comply with the Agreement in order to eliminate the conflict within thirty (30) business days of Endo’s discovery of the conflict. Endo shall comply with the terms of the Agreement to the fullest extent possible without violating the law.

 

E.

Endo or a Participating State may request that Endo and such Participating State meet and confer regarding the resolution of an actual or potential conflict between the Agreement and any other law, or between interpretations of the Agreement by different courts. In the event such Participating State disagrees with Endo’s interpretation of the conflict, such Participating State reserves the right to pursue any remedy or sanction that may be available regarding compliance with this Agreement. Nothing herein is intended to modify or extend the jurisdiction of any judicial authority as provided by law.

 

F.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, any (i) assertion of claims that Endo has violated the Agreement, (ii) commencement of any separate civil action to enforce compliance with this Agreement or (iii) assertion of other rights relating to or arising out of this Agreement, in each case, by a Participating State or any interested party shall be asserted in or brought before the Bankruptcy Court, and the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such action.

VI. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

 

A.

Definitions

As used in this section:

“Document(s)” means original or duplicate writings, recordings, or photographs as defined in Federal Rule of Evidence 1001.

“Endo Witness” means a witness who testified, whether at deposition or trial, in his or her capacity as a current or former Endo employee.

“Opioid-Related Action” means any of the following: the Opioid Multi-District Litigation (In re Nat’l Prescription Opiate Litig., No. 1:17-MD-2804 (N.D. Ohio)); any of the constituent cases pending in the Opioid Multi-District Litigation; and any action pending in any other forum in the United States or its territories that asserts claims substantially similar to the foregoing in a forum other than the Opioid Multi-District Litigation. For avoidance of doubt, a case that asserts antitrust- or patent-based claims is not an Opioid-Related Action for purposes of this section.

“Testimony” means any writing or recording of sworn testimony taken of an Endo Witness during a court proceeding or deposition in an Opioid Related Action.

 

B.

19


C.

Information That May Be Redacted

The following categories of information are exempt from public disclosure:

 

  1.

Information subject to trade secret protection. A “trade secret” is information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process, that (a) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure and use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. Even if the information falls within the definition, “trade secret” does not include information or communications concerning the sale, marketing, or promotion of Opioid Products.

 

  2.

Confidential personal information. “Confidential personal information” means individual Social Security or tax identification numbers, personal financial account numbers, passport numbers, driver license numbers, home addresses, personal telephone numbers, personal email addresses, and other personally identifiable information protected by law from disclosure. “Confidential personal information” does not include the names of prescribers or of officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, or consultants of Endo or of a government agency.

 

  3.

Information that is inappropriate for public disclosure because it is subject to personal privacy interests recognized by law (e.g., HIPAA), or the confidentiality interests of third parties that Endo may not abrogate.

 

  4.

Information regarding Endo employees’ personal matters unrelated to Endo (including emails produced by Endo custodians discussing vacation or sick leave, family, or other personal matters), or such other matters on which Endo and the Participating States may agree. For avoidance of doubt, no Endo employee shall be construed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement based on this exemption.

 

  5.

Information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product protection, or other legally valid privilege.

 

D.

Redaction of Documents Containing Protected Information

 

  1.

Whenever a Document contains information subject to an exemption under section C, Endo must provide the Document in redacted form and indicate the basis for each such redaction in the Document’s metadata. Endo shall narrowly tailor its redactions so as to protect only the information that is exempt from disclosure under section C. The redacted documents produced by Endo may be publicly disclosed in accordance with Section F below.

 

20


  2.

Endo must provide to the Participating States a redaction log identifying the basis for each redaction, with sufficient detail to allow assessment of the redaction’s merits. The log is subject to public disclosure in perpetuity. The log shall be produced simultaneously with the production of documents required by Section G.

 

  3.

In addition to the redacted documents, Endo shall, upon the Participating States’ request, also produce to the Participating States all documents identified in section B above in unredacted form (except for redactions pursuant to section C.5 above). Such unredacted documents shall be available only to the Participating States unless Endo’s claim of exemption under section C is successfully challenged in accordance with this section, or the trade secret designation expires in accordance with section E.

 

  4.

Anyone, including members of the public and the press, may challenge the appropriateness of redactions by providing written notice to Endo and a Participating State, which Participating State shall review the challenge and inform Endo of whether the challenge has sufficient merit to warrant triggering the remaining provisions of this paragraph. If the challenge is not resolved by agreement, it must be resolved in the first instance by a third party to be jointly appointed by the Participating States and Endo to resolve such challenges. The decision of the third party may be appealed to a court with enforcement authority over this Agreement. If not so appealed, the third party’s decision is final. In connection with such challenge, a Participating State may provide copies of relevant unredacted documents to the parties or the decisionmaker, subject to appropriate confidentiality and/or in camera review protections, as determined by the decisionmaker. Each party shall bear its own costs in any such redaction challenge process.

 

E.

Review of Trade Secret Redactions

Seven years after the Effective Date, Endo (or any purchaser of substantially all of Endo’s assets) shall review all assertions of trade secret protection made in accordance with section C.1 and provide the Participating States with a correspondingly updated redaction log in the same format as the initial redaction log required by section D. Any newly unredacted documents may then be publicly disclosed by the Participating States in accordance with section F.

 

F.

Public Disclosure through a Document Repository

Each Participating State may publicly disclose all Documents subject to public disclosure pursuant to this section through a public repository maintained by a governmental, non-profit, or academic institution or entity. Each Participating State may specify the terms of any such repository’s use, protection, and preservation of those Documents, including allowing the repository to index, screen, and make searchable all Documents subject to public disclosure.

 

21


G.

Timeline for Production

Endo must produce all required Documents within nine months from the Effective Date. This timeline may be extended by written agreement between Endo and the Participating State(s) taking delivery of Endo’s Documents pursuant to section F.

 

H.

Costs

Endo shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated with the review of Endo’s Documents subject to public disclosure. In addition, Endo shall pay $2.75 million on the Effective Date, but in any event no later than immediately prior to the conversion or dismissal of the Chapter 11, to help defray the costs and expenses of the establishment and maintenance of the public document repository. All costs and expenses in excess of this amount shall be paid by the Gross Public Settlement. For the avoidance of doubt, this amount is in addition to the Company’s obligation to pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated with the review of the Company’s documents to be disclosed through the public document repository.

VII. COMPLIANCE TERM

 

  A.

Unless addressed in section VII.B, each provision of this Agreement shall apply for 8 years from the Petition Date.

The provisions of section III.A (“General Provisions”), section III.C (“Ban on Promotion”), section III.D (“No Financial Reward or Discipline Based on Volume of Opioid Sales”), section III.G (“Ban on Prescription Savings Programs”), section III.H (“Monitoring and Reporting of Direct and Downstream Customers”), section III.I (“Miscellaneous Terms”), section III.J (“Compliance with Laws and Regulations Relating to the Sale, Promotion, and Distribution of Any Opioid or Any Product Indicated for the Treatment of Pain”), and section VI (“Public Disclosure”) shall not be subject to any term.

The PSA shall be terminable by the Company (the “Termination Right”) if the Company determines in good faith based on (i) its analysis as of the date of such determination of the relevant facts and circumstances (which may include, among other things, any information that may reasonably inform the probability of any contingent events occurring) and/or (ii) claims actually asserted against the Debtors as of the date of such determination, that the consummation of the Sale Transaction would be reasonably likely to result in the Company having insufficient cash to pay its administrative expense claims that are generated by the Sale; it being understood that, as of the date of the Term Sheet, the Company has not determined that it is reasonably likely that the consummation of the Sale Transaction would result in the Company having insufficient cash to pay its administrative expense claims that are generated by the Sale. Prior to exercising the Termination Right, the Debtors shall provide the Required Holders with at least fifteen (15) business days’ notice, during which time the Debtors and the Required Holders will discuss a proposed resolution in good faith.

Endo Enters Into Restructuring Support Agreement with Senior Secured Debtholders to Strengthen

Financial Position and Advance Ongoing Business Transformation

Sale Transaction Would Result in a Substantial Reduction of Debt and Contemplates Purchaser-Established Voluntary

Trusts Funded with $550 Million to Benefit Opioid Claimants

Patients and Customers Will Continue to Receive Highest Quality Products and Excellent Service

Ample Liquidity to Fund Day-to-Day Operations and Ordinary Course Investments During Court-Supervised Process

DUBLIN, AUGUST 16, 2022 – Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) (“Endo” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a restructuring support agreement (“RSA”) with holders of more than a majority of Endo’s first lien debt on a sale transaction that would substantially reduce outstanding indebtedness, address remaining opioid and other litigation-related claims, and best position Endo for the future. This will allow Endo to advance its business transformation with a strengthened balance sheet to create compelling value for its stakeholders over the long term.

Under the RSA, the debtholder group has committed to providing total purchase consideration of approximately $6 billion in the form of a credit bid, plus assumption of certain liabilities, for substantially all of the Company’s assets. The transaction contemplates that the purchaser will:

 

   

Offer employment to all of Endo’s active team members;

 

   

Establish voluntary trusts, to be funded with $550 million over 10 years, whereby future proceeds will be set aside for certain opioid claims; and

 

   

Have net funded leverage in an amount no greater than 4.5x.

This “stalking horse” bid will be subject to higher or otherwise better offers.

To facilitate the sale process and provide an appropriate forum for bringing closure to opioid-related and other uncertainties without the need for continued costly, time-consuming litigation, Endo and certain of its subsidiaries initiated voluntary prearranged Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (“Court”). Endo’s India-based entities are not part of the Chapter 11 proceedings. The Company expects to file recognition proceedings in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

“Today’s announcement is a significant milestone as we advance our strategic priorities and business transformation so that Endo’s value proposition can be realized,” said Blaise Coleman, Endo’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “By definitively addressing the more than $8 billion of debt that has burdened our balance sheet and establishing a pathway to closure with respect to the thousands of opioid-related and other lawsuits that the Company has been defending at an unsustainable cost, we will be able to move forward as a new Endo and reach our full potential.”


Mr. Coleman continued, “This process will enable us to continue our ongoing business transformation, including investing in our core areas of growth, as we work to execute a transaction to strengthen our balance sheet and secure a strong tomorrow. Our commitment to our mission, team members, customers, patients, and communities will not change, and we look forward to emerging from this process better positioned to continue helping everyone we serve live their best lives.”

The Company’s secured creditors have consented to use of cash collateral to fund the Company’s day-to-day business during the process. This significant cash on hand, coupled with positive cash flow from operations, will provide ample liquidity as the Company continues to deliver the life-enhancing products that its customers and their patients expect today and in the future. Notably, the Company and a consortium of state attorneys general have agreed on certain injunctive terms relating to the sale of Endo’s opioid products, including with respect to promotion, funding/grants to third parties, and suspicious order monitoring, which will be presented to the Court for approval.

The Company is filing with the Court a series of customary motions to maintain business-as-usual operations on all fronts and uphold its commitments to its stakeholders, including team members, customers, suppliers, and business partners, during the process. Approval of these routine “first day” motions, which the Company expects to receive in short order, will help facilitate a smooth transition into the process.

LOGO

Medical Therapeutics represents a very attractive growth area The Medical Therapeutics (MT) portfolio, which consists of Xiaflex (XPD and XDC), Supprelin LA, TLC599 and other smaller brands is expected to achieve nearly $1.0B of revenue in 2026. Ongoing commercial and R&D investments are expected to drive future growth in the Xiaflex franchise and promising new orthopedic indications exist in the current pipeline to expand Xiaflex and introduce a new CCH-XTEND product — Xiaflex: Adhesive Capsulitis (AC), Plantar Fibromatosis (PFI), and Chronic/Treatment Recalcitrant Plantar (PFA) — CCH XTEND: Arthrofibrosis post-total knee replacement (TKR) targeted as initial indications with others to follow TLC599 enables earlier move into lower extremity orthopedics with initial OAK pain indication and multiple life-cycle opportunities including other OA joints (e.g., hand, hip, shoulder) and other conditions (e.g., interdigital neuroma) New early-stage urology opportunity with intravesical pentosan polysulfate sodium (iPPS), a urology in-office administered treatment to address high-unmet need in treating interstitial cystitis; additional potential LCM combo products for IC. Proven commercial capabilities are well-aligned with the targeted HCP universe, including market access, patient support hub, and specialty distribution through exclusive distribution partnerships (i.e., buy and bill; specialty pharmacy). Enhanced clinical development, evidence generation, and regulatory strategy capabilities, as well as evolving manufacturing capabilities, will also be leveraged to support the portfolio. Existing capabilities are scalable and can readily accommodate existing pipeline opportunities (i.e., Orthopedics commercial footprint can expand into lower extremity foot and ankle & podiatry specialists in support of future Xiaflex indications and TLC599)

Financial Projections


LOGO

There are several key assumptions underpinning our Long-Term Plan ▪Xiaflex revenue will continue to grow driven by an expected recovery in office-based procedures beginning in 2H22 coupled with a strong response to planned advertising and promotion investment in on-market indications and the launch of new indications (Plantar Fibromatosis, Adhesive Capsulitis) in 2026. ▪Qwo revenue growth assumes a solution for bruising and discoloration is identified through the Aphrodite-1 study. ▪TLC599 is expected to launch in 2025 and will be supported by planned commercial investment. ▪Vasostrict franchise revenue declines as a result of price erosion and market share loss; pre-mix bottle market share gains partially offset vial market share losses. ▪Continued investment in the SI pipeline is expected to drive meaningful growth from new product launches starting in 2023 following the significant decline in revenue from the full impact from the Vasotrict LOE. ▪Varenicline revenue is expected to decline due to potential competition assumed in 2H22; however, meaningful upside may be possible if competition is not approved. ▪Lubiprostone revenue will decline in 2023 following expiration of exclusive contract period. ▪Gross margin and GM% are expected to expand starting in 2024 as a result of shift in product mix and reflects annual COGS savings of ~$65-70M beginning in 2024 ▪OPEX and OPEX % expected to decline starting in 2023 and reflects annual OPEX run rate savings of ~$75-90M[a] reached by early 2024. ▪1x payments excludes mesh and opioid litigation and settlement payments and other potential payments for contingent liabilities/settlements. [a] Includes $20-25M plus $55-65M of savings resulting from initiatives announced in Nov 2020 and 2Q22, respectively.

Project Zed FOOTNOTES General: 1. The key assumptions underlying the wind-down budget include: a. Sale: All debtor assets are sold and equity of non-debtor entities are sold to a purchaser (“Purchaser”). All (x) administrative claims arising prior to the sale closing, (y) litigation claims reserves and (z) other reserves contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement and sale term sheet are assumed to be satisfied as part of the sale closing and are not included in the sizing of the wind-down budget b. Liquidation: Chapter 11 liquidating plan c. Claims Administration: At sale closing, the debtors will decide whether to proceed with issuing a bar date notice to all general unsecured creditors and undertake related claims processing, taking into account the anticipated recovery to general unsecured creditors and the cost of such notice and processing d. Timeline: 6-month timeframe for wind-down (i.e., plan of liquidation process) from the date of the sale-closing, followed by a 3-month post-emergence wind-down period e. Remaining Entities: All entities, other than the Indian entities, assumed to remain after the asset sale closing and are part of the wind-down process being contemplated in these materials under a Ch 11 liquidating plan (collectively, the “Remaining Entities”) f. Regulatory Approvals: This budget assumes that all necessary regulatory requirements are achieved within the 6-month wind-down period. Any incremental regulatory timing delays will result in incremental costs which are not included in this wind-down budget g. Remaining Operations / Business: None; all assumed to be part of the sale h. Remaining Claims: Certain derivative claims, unencumbered assets, and avoidance causes of action are acquired by Purchaser and are not pursued post-closing i. Taxes Arising in Connection with Sale: All non-US taxes arising directly or indirectly from the transaction will be paid pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) j. Priority Claims: The Debtors, after consultation with the Ad Hoc First Lien Group, reserve the right to use a portion of the funds under the wind-down budget to settle priority claims k. Professional Fees: Assumes all accrued and unpaid professional fees prior to the sale-closing date are paid in full in cash pursuant to the terms under the PSA l. Return of Funds: Debtors proposed wind-down budget would provide that any excess cash remaining after dissolution of the Remaining Entities would revert to the Purchaser m. Domicile: The location of the Debtors’ businesses, including their tax domiciles, remain the same


LOGO

Wind-Down Costs: 2. Personnel Costs (via TSA): Reflects finance, IT and legal personnel who are providing services via the Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) to assist with wind-down workstreams. Wind-down budget assumes these to be provided by the Purchaser at no cost. 3. Information Technology Costs: Includes services from an outsourced IT service provider, license and subscription costs. Wind-down budget assumes these to be provided by the Purchaser at no cost. 4. TSA Costs: TSA costs for accessing historical records and IT systems. Wind-down budget assumes these to be provided by the Purchaser at no cost. TSA income for services provided by the Remaining Entities to the Purchaser are assumed to be zero for purposes of the wind-down budget 5. Governance — US Board Fees/Insurance: Assumes the US board of directors is replaced by two independent directors ($75k/quarter) 6. Governance — Foreign Director Fees/Insurance: Includes lower of (i) current payroll cost; or (ii) $75k/quarter for existing directors at Canadian, Ireland, Luxembourg, UK and Bermuda 7. 503(b)(9) and Other Administrative Claims: Assumes that most of the 503(b)(9) claims and operating costs incurred immediately prior to the sale-closing date that have been incurred but not yet paid are either paid prior to the sale-closing date or are covered separately under the PSA. In the event that the debtors propose to settle any administrative claims arising from the sale transaction, such settlement amount must be funded first from this line and then must be limited to amounts available in the contingency line, unless otherwise agreed to by the Ad Hoc First Lien Group 8. Other Costs: Other filing and regulatory fees Professional Fees: 9. Legal Counsel — Primary: Reflects costs for US legal counsel to pursue liquidating chapter 11 plan and satisfy all related Bankruptcy Code requirements for the same, wind-down related activities, coordinate non-U.S. based insolvency proceedings, other bankruptcy court requirements, tax, and regulatory workstreams 10. Legal Counsel — SDNY (Efficiency/Conflicts Counsel): Reflects costs for US conflicts and efficiency counsel in SDNY for remaining bankruptcy-related wind-down work, court filings, monthly operating report reviews court hearings required for the wind-down of the entities, and matters requiring conflicts counsel 11. Financial Advisor — Primary: Includes costs for monthly operating reports, TSA cost tracking, wind-down budget reporting, priority, administrative and 503(b)(9) claims reconciliation, overseeing personnel, IT and liquidity management 12. Financial Advisor — Data Retention: No costs are estimated as this assumes that the Purchaser adheres to data retention requirements and provides access to all necessary IT systems in order to facilitate the wind-down process


LOGO

13. Financial Advisor — Tax: Reflects all-in global tax advisory fees to complete the relevant forms, preparing supporting calculations and handling associated interactions with global, fed and state taxing authorities. This assumes that the wind-down period does not straddle two tax years, which would otherwise require an incremental $2.4 million per annum 14. Other Liquidation Proceeding — FA/Counsel): Includes Canada, Ireland, Bermuda, Luxembourg, England, and Cyprus 15. Official Opioid Committee — FA/Counsel: In the event there is an OOC, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind-down budget. 16. Future Claims Rep — FA/Counsel: In the event there is an FCR, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind-down budget. 17. Unsecured Creditors Committee — FA/Counsel: In the event there is an UCC, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind-down budget. 18. Bar Date Noticing and Claims Processing: Ballot and bar date noticing and POC administration associated costs. In the event it is determined that there is a recovery available for general unsecured creditors, a reasonable budget will be agreed to by the parties taking into account the foregoing costs, or ordered by the court if agreement is not reached, and included in the wind-down budget. 19. UST Quarterly Fees: Assumes quarterly fees of (i) 1% of total wind-down budget disbursements (max cap is intentionally ignored to account for multiple entities making disbursements); and (ii) $325 filing fee for [150] legal entities

Overview â–º On August 12, without warning, Endo received a Termination Notice (Notice) from a contract counterparty (Counterparty) alleging incurable, material breaches by Endo of the parties’ agreement (Agreement). â–º The Agreement provides for termination upon a material breach following a cure period (which can be extended if the issue is being resolved), or immediately upon an “incurable” material breach. â–º The Notice alleges Endo failed to launch a product within the requisite timeframe following regulatory approval and, more generally, alleges failure by Endo to use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill its obligations under the Agreement. Counterparty immediately canceled all scheduled joint meetings between the parties. â–º Endo believes the Notice is baseless and constitutes an anticipatory repudiation (breach) of the Agreement. â–º Endo notified Counterparty that it rejected the Notice and would allow Counterparty until August 15 to withdraw and continue to perform under the Agreement. â–º If Counterparty fails to do so, Endo will prepare to file a lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment, damages and potentially other relief.


LOGO

Potential Economic Impact â–º The products subject to the Agreement are forecast to generate gross profit of approximately: – $1M in 2022 – $20M in 2023 – $40M in 2024 – $55M in 2025 – $50M in 2026 â–º The Company has already paid the Counterparty approximately $40M in upfront and milestone payments. The Counterparty is potentially entitled to receive up to an additional $5M of milestone payments over the next several years.

The 2Q22A Xiaflex favorability will be partially offset by slightly lower XPD demand volumes in 2H22 based on 2Q22A trends. The 2Q22A Vasostrict favorability is expected to be offset by higher-than-expected price erosion in 2H22 resulting from more aggressive pricing by post day 181 competitor entrants. The 2Q22A Varenicline favorability and the benefit of delayed competition in 3Q22 are reflected in FY22E. 2Q22A and FY22E Gross Margin and GM% favorability is primarily driven by better-than-expected net sales and product mix across all segments. 2Q22A OPEX favorability was primarily driven by lower A&P and sales force costs ($7M), lower G&A ($8M) and R&D costs ($5M) due to timing. A portion of the 2Q22A G&A and R&D favorability is expected to pull through to FY22E. 2Q22A ΔNWC & OA/OL unfavorability was primarily due to AR being a use of cash versus a source of cash due to higher-than-expected 2Q22A sales. The 2Q22A unfavorability is expected to reverse in 2H22 as AR is projected to be a source of cash with the decline in Varenicline sales resulting from expected competition in 2H22. FY22 favorability in OA/OL is expected to offset unplanned insider compensation prepayments and a D&O insurance tail payment in 3Q22. 2Q22A 1x Proceeds favorability was due to the receipt of a confidential settlement payment in 2Q22 vs.3Q22. The FY22E 1x Payments unfavorability is due to the unplanned 3Q22 PCC funding ($40M), partially offset by proceeds from the unplanned 3Q22 sale of the Chestnut Ridge NY building ($18M).
