Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on March 10, 2020, Mallinckrodt plc, an Irish public limited company (“Mallinckrodt”), and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) agreed to a joinder and amendment (the “Joinder and Amendment”) to the Restructuring and Support Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2020, by and among the Debtors and certain of their creditors that would become effective upon receipt of signatures thereto from (i) lenders holding 66.7% of each of Mallinckrodt’s outstanding senior secured term loan due 2024 and its outstanding senior secured term loan due 2025, (ii) the required supporting unsecured noteholders, (iii) the governmental plaintiff ad hoc committee and (iv) the multi-state governmental entities group.

On March 11, 2021, Mallinckrodt received the required signatures for effectiveness of the Joinder and Amendment.

As previously reported in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 10, 2020, upon the effectiveness of the Joinder and Amendment, the RSA was amended as follows:

•The supporting parties under the RSA will support a plan of reorganization providing for distributions to lenders holding allowed claims in respect of Mallinckrodt’s senior secured term loans a mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to $114 million arising from excess cash flow with respect to the fiscal year ending December 25, 2020 (if not previously paid following Bankruptcy Court approval thereof) (the “ECF Payment”) and either (1) new senior secured term loans in an amount equal to the remaining principal amount of claims (as reduced by, inter alia, the ECF Payment) bearing interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 5.25% (with respect to the senior secured term loan due 2024) or LIBOR plus 5.50% (with respect to the senior secured term loan due 2025) (the “Adjusted Interest Rate”), maturing on the earlier of September 30, 2027 and 5.75 years after emergence and without any financial maintenance covenant or (2) payment in full in cash.

•The Debtors will seek bankruptcy court approval to make ongoing adequate protection interest payments in respect of the senior secured term loans at the Adjusted Interest Rate.

•The Debtors will seek bankruptcy court approval to pay an exit fee equal to 0.5% of the principal amount of the senior secured term loans (after giving effect to the ECF Payment), which fee will increase to 1.0% of such principal amount if the senior secured term loans are not paid in full in cash through the plan.

•Certain milestones were adjusted with the consent of the supporting parties.

The foregoing summary of the Joinder and Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joinder and Amendment, which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 10, 2020 and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
