Mallinckrodt PLC has reached a settlement agreement with certain
creditors to win their support for a planned reorganization, the
latest step for the drugmaker as it responds to lawsuits accusing
it of helping fuel the opioid crisis.
The new agreement is with Mallinckrodt's committee of
opioid-related creditors and its restructuring support agreement
parties. The company said it has also reached agreements with its
committee of unsecured creditors and some of its second-lien
noteholders.
Mallinckrodt's latest restructuring plans, which include legal
settlements, would reduce the company's debt by about $1.3 billion,
the company said. The plans have now won support from holders of
about 84% of the company's guaranteed unsecured notes, holders of
$1.3 billion of first-lien term loans and an executive committee of
plaintiffs who are engaged in litigation against the company.
The next step is for a bankruptcy court to hold a hearing to
consider approving the plan, Mallinckrodt said. If the plan is
approved, Mallinckrodt would file a proceeding in Ireland to
commence the reorganization, which would take 90 to 150 days, it
estimated.
