The Borrower borrowed $1,200,000,000 under the Term Facility on August 1, 2025. The Facilities mature on July 31, 2030, unless extended pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement.

 

The Term Facility will amortize in quarterly installments as follows: (i) commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 through (and including) the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, 0.625% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility, (ii) from the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026 through (and including) the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027, 1.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility, (iii) from the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027 through (and including) the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2028, 1.875% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility and (iv) from the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2028 through the maturity date of the Term Facility, 2.50% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Facility.

 

The proceeds of the Term Facility will be used (i) to consummate the Transactions, including working capital and/or purchase price adjustments, to repay outstanding obligations under (x) that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Mallinckrodt Credit Agreement”), among, Mallinckrodt, as parent, Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. (“MIFSA”) and Mallinckrodt CB LLC (“MCB”), as borrowers, the lenders referred to therein, Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as co-administrative agent and collateral agent, Seaport Loan Products LLC, as co-administrative agent, and the other parties thereto, (y) the 14.75% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Existing Mallinckrodt Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of November 14, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Mallinckrodt Indenture”), among MIFSA and MCB, as issuers, the guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee, and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as collateral agent, and (z) (1) the ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “ABL Credit Agreement”), among ST US AR Finance LLC, as borrower, the lenders and L/C issuers from time to time party thereto and Barclays Bank plc, as agent and (2) the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” and, together with the ABL Credit Agreement, the “Existing ABL Facility”), among ST US AR Finance LLC, as buyer, the Borrower, as servicer, and certain subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt as originators, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (the “Transaction Expenses”) and (ii) for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Revolving Facility will be used for the payment of Transaction Expenses and for general corporate purposes.

 

 

 

 

The New Credit Agreement contains customary covenants applicable to Parent and its subsidiaries (including the Borrower), including covenants governing: incurrence of liens, incurrence of indebtedness, fundamental changes, asset sales, restricted payments and investments, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, modification of terms of restricted junior indebtedness, changes in nature of business and accounting changes. Additionally, in the event the aggregate outstanding revolving credit exposure under the Revolving Facility exceeds 40% of the aggregate revolving commitments then in effect, Parent and the Borrower will be required to comply with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio commencing with the test period ending December 31, 2025 not to exceed (i) on or prior to March 31, 2027, 4.00 to 1.00, (ii) after March 31, 2027 and on or prior to March 31, 2028, 3.25 to 1.00 and (iii) thereafter, 2.50 to 1.00. The New Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make payments, breach of covenants and breach of representations. Borrowings under the Facilities will be made in U.S. dollars and bear interest at rates per annum, determined, at the Borrower’s option, by reference to (i) for base rate loans, the applicable base rate (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus 600 basis points, and (ii) for SOFR loans, the applicable Term SOFR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus 700 basis points. The Borrower is also required to pay quarterly in arrears an undrawn commitment fee on the Revolving Facility of 25 basis points.

 

The obligations under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Parent and certain subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time, and secured by a lien on substantially all the assets (with certain exceptions) of the Borrower and the guarantors in accordance with the terms of the New Credit Agreement and the related security documents.

 

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Credit Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Also in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, on August 1, 2025, (x) Mallinckrodt and its subsidiaries redeemed in full approximately $477.2 million in outstanding principal amount of Existing Mallinckrodt Notes, constituting all of the Existing Mallinckrodt Notes outstanding under the Existing Mallinckrodt Indenture, for a redemption price equal to such outstanding principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and approximately $13.7 million in required makewhole premium and (y) all amounts outstanding under the Existing ABL Facility were repaid.

 

 

 

 

As a result of such prepayment, redemption and repayment, the Existing Mallinckrodt Credit Agreement and the Existing ABL Facility were terminated, the Existing Mallinckrodt Indenture was discharged and all guarantees of, and liens securing, the obligations thereunder were released.

 

Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information set forth in the Introductory Note is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

On July 31, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Endo (the “Endo common stock”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, other than the shares of Endo common stock owned by Endo, any Endo subsidiary, Mallinckrodt, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive approximately $1.31 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and 0.2575 of a Mallinckrodt ordinary share (the “Per Share Stock Consideration,”), without interest and subject to applicable withholding. Former holders of Endo common stock will receive cash in lieu of any fractional Mallinckrodt ordinary shares they would otherwise have been entitled to receive. The issuance of Mallinckrodt ordinary shares in connection with the Transactions was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below).

 

In addition, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time:

 

(i)  each outstanding restricted stock unit award in respect of Endo common stock that was subject only to time-based vesting requirements (an “Endo RSU Award”) and that was held by an employee of Endo or a subsidiary of Endo, was assumed by Mallinckrodt and converted into a restricted stock unit award in respect of a number of Mallinckrodt ordinary shares (a “Mallinckrodt RSU Award”), equal to (i) the total number of shares of Endo common stock underlying such Endo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the sum of (x) the Per Share Stock Consideration plus (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Cash Consideration by a measure of the price per share of Mallinckrodt ordinary shares as specified in the Transaction Agreement (referred to as the “Mallinckrodt Per Share Price”). Each Mallinckrodt RSU Award will continue to have, and will continue to be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedules) that applied to the corresponding Endo RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, except that such Mallinckrodt RSU Award will be accelerated upon certain terminations of employment, as described below;

 

(ii) each outstanding Endo RSU Award that was held by a non-employee director of Endo became fully vested and all rights in respect of such Endo RSU Award were canceled and automatically converted into the right of the holder to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Endo common stock underlying such Endo RSU Award multiplied by (ii) the sum of (x) the Mallinckrodt Per Share Price multiplied by the Per Share Stock Consideration plus (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration; provided, however, that for this purpose, Mr. Hirsch will be treated as a non-employee director;

 

(iii) each outstanding restricted stock unit award in respect of Endo common stock that was subject, in whole or in part, to performance-based vesting conditions (an “Endo PSU Award”) was assumed by Mallinckrodt and converted into a Mallinckrodt RSU Award in respect of a number of Mallinckrodt ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Endo common stock underlying such Endo PSU Award as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (assuming performance goals are achieved at the target level), multiplied by (ii) the sum of (x) the Per Share Stock Consideration plus (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Per Share Cash Consideration by the Mallinckrodt Per Share Price. Each such Mallinckrodt RSU Award will continue to have, and will continue to be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as applied to the corresponding Endo PSU Award as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, except that such Mallinckrodt RSU Award will be accelerated upon certain terminations of employment, as described below; and

 

 

 

 

(iv) each outstanding long-term cash award granted by Endo which was subject to time-based vesting requirements and/or performance-based vesting requirements (an “Endo Cash LTI Award”) was assumed by Mallinckrodt and converted into a long-term cash award granted by Mallinckrodt (a “Mallinckrodt Cash LTI Award”). Each such Mallinckrodt Cash LTI Award will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as applied to the corresponding Endo Cash LTI Award as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided that, any performance goals that applied to the Endo Cash LTI Award were assumed to have been earned at the target level as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and such Mallinckrodt Cash LTI Award will be accelerated upon certain terminations of employment, as described below. The Mallinckrodt RSU Awards and Mallinckrodt Cash LTI Awards issued in replacement of Endo RSU Awards, Endo PSU Awards and Endo Cash LTI Awards, as applicable, are referred to as “Replacement Awards.”

 

If the holder of any Replacement Award experiences a termination of employment (i) by Mallinckrodt or any subsidiary of Mallinckrodt without “cause” (as defined in the Endo, Inc. 2024 Stock Incentive Plan) or (ii) by the holder for “good reason” (to the extent such holder has an employment agreement that provides for severance benefits upon a resignation for “good reason,” and in such case as defined in such employment agreement), in either case, during the 24-month period following the Merger Effective Time, such Replacement Award will become fully vested at the time of such termination.

 

The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is included hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A summary of the principal terms of the Transaction Agreement is set forth in the section entitled “The Transaction Agreement” contained in Mallinckrodt’s registration statement on Form S-4 (file number 333-286694), declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), which summary is incorporated herein by reference.

These factors include risks and uncertainties related to, among other things:

 

(i)       transaction-related risks, including the Mallinckrodt’s ability to successfully integrate Mallinckrodt’s business and Endo’s business and unanticipated costs of such integration, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; uncertainties related to a future separation of the combined generics pharmaceuticals businesses of Mallinckrodt and Endo and Endo’s sterile injectables business; the risk that the expected benefits and synergies of the transactions may not be fully realized in a timely manner, or at all; unanticipated difficulties, liabilities or expenditures relating to the business combination transaction; the effect of the completion of the business combination transaction on Mallinckrodt’s and Endo’s business relationships and business operations generally; the effect of the completion of the business combination transaction on the long-term value of Mallinckrodt’s ordinary shares; risks that the business combination transaction may disrupt plans and operations of Mallinckrodt and Endo and their respective management teams and potential difficulties in hiring, retaining and motivating employees as a result of the transaction; risks related to our increased indebtedness as a result of the business combination transaction; significant transaction costs related to the business combination transaction; and potential litigation relating to the business combination transaction that could be instituted against Mallinckrodt, Endo or their respective officers or directors;

 

 

 

 

(ii)       risks related to Mallinckrodt’s business, including potential changes in Mallinckrodt’s business strategy and performance; exposure to global economic conditions and market uncertainty; the exercise of contingent value rights by the Opioid Master Disbursement Trust II; governmental investigations and inquiries, regulatory actions, and lawsuits, in each case related to Mallinckrodt or its officers; Mallinckrodt’s contractual and court-ordered compliance obligations that, if violated, could result in penalties; compliance with and restrictions under the global settlement to resolve all opioid-related claims; matters related to Acthar Gel, including the settlement with governmental parties to resolve certain disputes and compliance with and restrictions under the related corporate integrity agreement; the ability to maintain relationships with Mallinckrodt’s suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties following the emergence from the 2023 bankruptcy proceedings; scrutiny from governments, legislative bodies and enforcement agencies related to sales, marketing and pricing practices; pricing pressure on certain of Mallinckrodt’s products due to legal changes or changes in insurers’ or other payers’ reimbursement practices resulting from recent increased public scrutiny of healthcare and pharmaceutical costs; the reimbursement practices of governmental health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other third-party payers; complex reporting and payment obligations under the Medicare and Medicaid rebate programs and other governmental purchasing and rebate programs; cost containment efforts of customers, purchasing groups, third-party payers and governmental organizations; changes in or failure to comply with relevant laws and regulations; any undesirable side effects caused by Mallinckrodt’s approved and investigational products, which could limit their commercial profile or result in other negative consequences; Mallinckrodt’s and its partners’ ability to successfully develop, commercialize or launch new products or expand commercial opportunities of existing products, including Acthar Gel (repository corticotropin injection) SelfJect™ and the INOmax Evolve DS delivery system; Mallinckrodt’s ability to successfully identify or discover additional products or product candidates; Mallinckrodt’s ability to navigate price fluctuations and pressures, including the ability to achieve anticipated benefits of price increases of its products; competition; Mallinckrodt’s ability to protect intellectual property rights, including in relation to ongoing and future litigation; limited clinical trial data for Acthar Gel; the timing, expense and uncertainty associated with clinical studies and related regulatory processes; product liability losses and other litigation liability; material health, safety and environmental laws and related liabilities; business development activities or other strategic transactions; attraction and retention of key personnel; the effectiveness of information technology infrastructure, including risks of external attacks or failures; customer concentration; Mallinckrodt’s reliance on certain individual products that are material to its financial performance; Mallinckrodt’s ability to receive sufficient procurement and production quotas granted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration; complex manufacturing processes; reliance on third-party manufacturers and supply chain providers and related market disruptions; conducting business internationally; Mallinckrodt’s significant levels of intangible assets and related impairment testing; natural disasters or other catastrophic events; Mallinckrodt’s substantial indebtedness and settlement obligation, its ability to generate sufficient cash to reduce its indebtedness and its potential need and ability to incur further indebtedness; restrictions contained in the agreements governing Mallinckrodt’s indebtedness and settlement obligation on Mallinckrodt’s operations, future financings and use of proceeds; Mallinckrodt’s variable rate indebtedness; Mallinckrodt’s tax treatment by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 7874 and Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; future changes to applicable tax laws or the impact of disputes with governmental tax authorities; the impact of Irish laws; the impact on the holders of Mallinckrodt’s ordinary shares if Mallinckrodt were to cease to be a reporting company in the United States; the comparability of Mallinckrodt’s post-emergence financial results and the projections filed with the Bankruptcy Court; and the lack of comparability of Mallinckrodt’s historical financial statements and information contained in its financial statements after the adoption of fresh-start accounting following emergence from the 2023 bankruptcy proceedings; and

The Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with business combination transaction describes additional risks in connection with the transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. For additional information about other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to Mallinckrodt’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the SEC, which are available from the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) and Mallinckrodt’s website (www.mallinckrodt.com) and Endo’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, which are available from the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) and Endo’s website (www.endo.com). There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.

A notice issued pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be validly issued notwithstanding the provisions of articles 130 to 135 inclusive.

 

(iv)Voting

The rights attaching to the ordinary A shares may be subject to the terms of issue of any series or class of preferred shares allotted by the Directors from time to time in accordance with article 3(d).

 

(d)The Directors are authorised to issue all or any of the authorised but unissued preferred shares from time to time in one or more classes or series, and to fix for each such class or series such voting power, full or limited, or no voting power, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such class or series, including, without limitation, the authority to provide that any such class or series may be:

 

(i)redeemable at the option of the Company, or the Holders, or both, with the manner of the redemption to be set by the Board including, without limitation that any such class or series may be redeemable

 

10

 

 

(A)at such time or times, including upon a fixed date;

 

(B)at such price or prices; and

which rights and restrictions may be as stated in such resolution or resolutions of the Directors as determined by them in accordance with this article 3(d). The Board may at any time before the allotment of any preferred share by further resolution in any way amend the designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, or vary or revoke the designations of such preferred shares.

 

The rights conferred upon the Holder of any pre-existing shares in the share capital of the Company shall be deemed not to be varied by the creation, issue and allotment of preferred shares in accordance with this article 3(d).

 

(e)Unless the Board specifically resolves to treat such acquisition as a purchase for the purposes of the Act, an Ordinary Share shall be deemed to be a Redeemable Share on, and from the time of, the existence or creation of an agreement, transaction or trade between the Company and any third party pursuant to which the Company acquires or will acquire ordinary shares, or an interest in ordinary shares, from such third party and the Company is hereby authorised to enter into any such agreement, transaction or trade. In these circumstances, the acquisition of such shares or interest in shares by the Company, save where acquired otherwise than for valuable consideration in accordance with the Act, shall constitute the redemption of a Redeemable Share in accordance with the Act. No resolution, whether special or otherwise, shall be required to be passed to deem any Ordinary Share a Redeemable Share, or to authorise the redemption of such a Redeemable Share and once deemed to be a Redeemable Share such share shall be redeemable at the instance of the Company.

 

4.Subject to the provisions of the Act and the other provisions of these articles, the Company may:

 

(a)pursuant to the Act, issue any shares of the Company which are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the member on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by the Company in general meeting (by Special Resolution) on the recommendation of the Directors; or

 

(b)subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Act and without prejudice to any relevant special rights attached to any class of shares pursuant to the Act, purchase any of its own shares (including any Redeemable Shares and without any obligation to purchase on any pro rata basis as between members or members of the same class) and may cancel any shares so purchased or hold them as treasury shares (as defined in the Act) and may reissue any such shares as shares of any class or classes.

 

11

 

 

5.Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the Holders of any existing shares or class of shares, any share in the Company may be issued with such preferred or deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise, as the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution determine.

 

6.(a) Without prejudice to the authority conferred on the Directors pursuant to article 3 to issue preferred shares in the capital of the Company, if at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the Holders of three-fourths of the issued shares in that class, or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Holders of the shares of that class, provided that, if the relevant class of Holders has only one Holder, that person present in person or by proxy, shall constitute the necessary quorum. To every such meeting the provisions of article 39 shall apply.

 

(b)The redemption or purchase of preferred shares or any class of preferred shares shall not constitute a variation of rights of the preferred Holders.

 

(c)The issue, redemption or purchase of any of the 500,000,000 preferred shares of US$0.01 shall not constitute a variation of the rights of the Holders of ordinary shares.

 

(d)The issue of preferred shares or any class of preferred shares which rank pari passu with, or junior to, any existing preferred shares or class of preferred shares shall not constitute a variation of the existing preferred shares or class of preferred shares.

 

7.The rights conferred upon the Holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

 

8.(a) Subject to the provisions of these articles relating to new shares, the shares shall be at the disposal of the Directors (and/or by a committee of the Directors or by any other person where such committee or person is so authorised by the Directors), and they may (subject to the provisions of the Act) allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, on such terms and conditions and at such times as they may consider to be in the best interests of the Company and its members, but so that no share shall be issued at a discount to its nominal value save in accordance with the Act, and so that, save where the Act permits otherwise, the amount payable on application on each share shall not be less than one-quarter of the nominal amount of the share and the whole of any premium thereon.

 

(b)Subject to any requirement to obtain the approval of members under any laws, regulations or the rules of any stock exchange to which the Company is subject, the Board is authorised, from time to time, in its discretion, to grant such persons, for such periods and upon such terms as the Board deems advisable, options to purchase or subscribe for such number of shares of any class or classes or of any series of any class as the Board may deem advisable, and to cause warrants or other appropriate instruments evidencing such options to be issued.

 

12

 

 

(c)The Directors are, for the purposes of section 1021 of the Act, generally and unconditionally authorised to exercise all powers of the Company to allot and issue relevant securities (as defined by the said section 1021) up to the amount of Company’s authorised share capital and to allot and issue any shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act and held as treasury shares and this authority shall expire five years from the Adoption Date. The Company may before the expiry of such authority make an offer or agreement which would or might require relevant securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot relevant securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement notwithstanding that the authority hereby conferred has expired.

 

(d)The Directors are hereby empowered pursuant to sections 1022 and 1023 of the Act to allot equity securities within the meaning of the said section 1023 of the Act for cash pursuant to the authority conferred by paragraph (c) of this article as if section 1022 of the said Act did not apply to any such allotment. The Company may before the expiry of such authority make an offer or agreement which would or might require equity securities to be allotted after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of such an offer or agreement as if the power conferred by this paragraph (d) had not expired.

 

(e)Nothing in these articles shall preclude the Directors from recognising a renunciation of the allotment of any shares by any allottee in favour of some other person.

 

9.If by the conditions of allotment of any share the whole or part of the amount or issue price thereof shall be payable by instalments, every such instalment when due shall be paid to the Company by the person who for the time being shall be the Holder of the share.

 

10.The Company may pay commission to any person in consideration of a person subscribing or agreeing to subscribe, whether absolutely or conditionally, for any shares in the Company or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions, whether absolute or conditional, for any shares in the Company on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Directors may determine, including, without limitation, by paying cash or allotting and issuing fully or partly paid shares or any combination of the two. The Company may also, on any issue of shares, pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

 

11.The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained the Register in accordance with the Act.

 

12.If the Board considers it necessary or appropriate, the Company may establish and maintain a duplicate Register at such location or locations within or outside Ireland as the Board thinks fit. The original Register shall be treated as the register of members of the Company for the purposes of these articles and the Act.

 

13.The Company, or any agent(s) appointed by it to maintain the duplicate Register in accordance with these articles, shall as soon as practicable and on a regular basis record or procure the recording in the original Register of all transfers of shares effected on any duplicate Register and shall at all times maintain the original Register in such manner as to show at all times the member for the time being and the shares respectively held by them, in all respects in accordance with the Act.

 

14.Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share or (except only as by these articles or by law otherwise provided) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the Holder. This shall not preclude the Company from requiring the members or the transferee of shares to furnish the Company with information as to the beneficial ownership of any share when such information is reasonably required by the Company.

 

13

 

 

15.(a) The Directors may at any time and in their absolute discretion, if they consider it to be in the interests of the Company to do so, give to any shareholder or shareholders a notice (hereinafter referred to as an “Investigation Notice”) requiring such shareholder or shareholders to notify the Company in writing within the prescribed period of full and accurate particulars of all or any of the following matters, namely:

 

(i)his interest in any shares in the Company;

 

(ii)if his interest in the share does not consist of the entire beneficial interest in it, the interests of all persons having a beneficial interest in the share (provided that one joint shareholder of a share shall not be obliged to give particulars of interests of persons in the share which arise only through another joint shareholder of the Company); and

 

(iii)any arrangement (whether legally binding or not) entered into by him or any person having any beneficial interest in the share whereby it has been agreed or undertaken or the shareholder of such share can be required to transfer the share or any interest therein to any person (other than a joint shareholder of the share) or to act in relation to any meeting of the Company or of any class of shares of the Company in a particular way or in accordance with the wishes or directions of any other person (other than a person who is a joint shareholder of such share).

 

(b)Where an intermediary receives a Disclosure Notice and is in possession or control of the information which is required to be provided pursuant to these articles and applicable law, it shall as soon as practicable provide the Company with that information. Any intermediary that receives a Disclosure Notice and is not in possession or control of the information which is required to be provided pursuant to applicable law, shall as soon as practicable:

 

(i)inform the Company that it is not in possession or control of the information;

 

(ii)where the intermediary is part of a chain of intermediaries, transmit the request to each other intermediary in the chain known to the first mentioned intermediary as being part of the chain; and

 

(iii)provide the Company with the details of each intermediary, if any, to which the request has been transmitted under sub-paragraph (ii).

 

(c)If, pursuant to an Investigation Notice, the person stated to own any beneficial interest in a share or the person in favour of whom any shareholder (or other person having any beneficial interest in the share) has entered into any arrangements referred to in paragraph (a)(iii) is a body corporate, trust, society or any other legal entity or association of individuals and/or entities, the Directors may in their absolute discretion give a further Investigation Notice to the shareholders of, and/or any person whom such shareholder has stated as having any beneficial interest in, such a share requiring them to notify the Company in writing within the prescribed period of full and accurate particulars of the names and Addresses of the individuals who control (whether directly or indirectly and through any number of vehicles, entities or arrangements) the beneficial ownership of all the shares, interests, units or other measure of ownership of such body corporate, trust, society or other entity or association wherever the same shall be incorporated, registered or domiciled or wherever such individuals shall reside provided that if at any stage of such chain of ownership the beneficial interest in any share shall be established to the satisfaction of the Directors to be in the ownership of any body corporate any of whose share capital is listed or dealt in on any bona fide stock exchange, unlisted securities market or over the counter securities market, it shall not be necessary to disclose details of the individuals ultimately controlling the beneficial interests in the shares of such body corporate.

 

14

 

 

(d)Unless otherwise required by applicable law, where a notice is served pursuant to the terms of this article on the holder of a share and such holder is a central securities depository (or its nominee(s)) acting in its capacity as operator of a securities settlement system, the obligations of the central securities depository (or its nominee(s)) as a holder pursuant to this article shall be limited to disclosing to the Company in accordance with this article such information relating to the ownership of or interests in the share concerned as has been recorded by it pursuant to the rules made and practices instituted by the central securities depository, provided that nothing in this article shall in any other way restrict the powers of the Directors under this article. For the purposes of this article, a person, other than the holder of a share, shall be treated as appearing to be or to have been interested in that share if the holder has informed the Company that the person is, or may be, or has been, or may have been, so interested, or if the Company (after taking account of any information obtained from the registered holder or, pursuant to a Disclosure Notice, from anyone else) knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the person is, or may be, or has been, or may have been, so interested.

 

(e)Where any member, or any other person with an interest in shares held by such member, is deemed by Section 1048 or 1050 of the Act to have an interest in 3% or more of the issued share capital of the Company, such member or person shall be required to notify the Company both of the existence of such interest and any event which results in the member or person ceasing to be so interested. Such notification shall be made in the same manner and within the same time period as specified in Sections 1052 and 1053 of the Act.

 

(f)If at any time the Directors are satisfied that:

 

(i)any member has been served with an Investigation Notice, or

 

(ii)any member, or any other person appearing to be interested in shares held by such member, has been served with a Disclosure Notice,

 

and is in default for the prescribed period in supplying to the Company the information thereby required, or, in purported compliance with such a notice has made a statement which is false or inadequate, then the Directors may, in their absolute discretion at any time thereafter by notice (a “Disenfranchisement Notice”) to such member direct that in respect of the shares in relation to which the default occurred (the “Default Shares”) (which expression shall include any further shares which are issued in respect of such shares) the member shall not be entitled to attend or to vote either personally or by proxy at a general meeting of the Company or a meeting of the holders of any class of shares of the Company or to exercise any other rights conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company or meetings of the holders of any class of shares of the Company. Where a Disenfranchisement Notice is served on a central securities depository or its nominee(s) acting in its capacity as operator of a securities settlement system, the provisions of this article shall be treated as applying only to such number of shares as is equal to the number of Default Shares held by the central securities depository or its nominee(s) and not to any other shares held by the central securities depository or its nominee(s).

 

15

 

 

(g)Where the Default Shares represent at least three per cent. (3%) of the issued shares of that class (or such other percentage as may be determined under the provisions of Section 1052 of the Act), then the Disenfranchisement Notice may additionally direct that:

 

(i)any dividend (or part thereof) or other money which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Default Shares shall be retained by the Company without any liability to pay interest thereon when such money is finally paid to the member and/or

 

(ii)no transfer of any shares held by such member shall be registered unless;

 

(A)the member is not himself in default as regards supplying the information required; and

 

(B)the transfer is part only of the member's holding and when presented for registration is accompanied by a certificate by the member in a form satisfactory to the Directors to the effect that after due and careful enquiry, the member is satisfied that none of the shares, the subject of the transfer, is a Default Share.

 

(h)The Company shall send to each other person appearing to be interested in the shares, the subject of any Disenfranchisement Notice, a copy of the Disenfranchisement Notice but the failure or omission by the Company to do so shall not invalidate such Disenfranchisement Notice.

 

(i)Save as herein provided, any Disenfranchisement Notice shall have effect in accordance with its terms for so long as the default in respect of which the Disenfranchisement Notice was issued continues and for a period of one week thereafter provided that the Directors may at the request of the member concerned reduce or waive such one week period if they think fit.

 

(j)Any Disenfranchisement Notice shall cease to have effect in relation to any shares which are transferred by such member by means of an Approved Transfer (as defined in article 15(k)(iii)).

 

(k)For the purpose of this article:

 

(i)a person shall be treated as appearing to be interested in any shares if the member holding such shares has in response to a Disclosure Notice or Investigation Notice either:

 

(A)named such person as being so interested; or

 

(B)fails to establish the identities of those interested in the shares;

 

and (after taking into account the said response and any other relevant Disclosure Notice or Investigation Notice) the Company knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the person in question is or may be interested in the Shares;

 

(ii)in the case of both an Investigation Notice and a Disclosure Notice, the prescribed period is twenty-eight days from the date of service of the notice except that if the Default Shares represent at least five per cent. (5%) of the issued shares of that class, the prescribed period is fourteen days from such date; and

 

16

 

 

(iii)a transfer of shares is an “Approved Transfer” if, but only if:

 

(A)it is a transfer of shares to an offeror by way of or in pursuance of an acceptance of a takeover offer, merger, scheme or arrangement or consolidation of the Company; or

 

(B)the Directors are satisfied that the transfer is made pursuant to a sale of the whole of the beneficial ownership of the shares to a party unconnected with the member and with other persons appearing to be interested in such shares; or

 

(C)the transfer results from a sale made through a recognised stock exchange.

 

16.No person shall be entitled to a share certificate in respect of any Ordinary Share held by them in the share capital of the Company, whether such Ordinary Share was allotted or transferred to them, and the Company shall not be bound to issue a share certificate to any such person entered in the Register.

 

17.The Company shall not give, whether directly or indirectly and whether by means of a loan, guarantee, the provision of security or otherwise, any financial assistance for the purpose of a purchase or subscription made or to be made by any person of or for any shares in the Company or in its holding company, except as permitted by the Act.

 

18.(a) The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that share. The Directors, at any time, may declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this article. The Company’s lien on a share shall extend to all moneys payable in respect of it.

 

(b)The Company may sell in such manner as the Directors determine any share on which the Company has a lien if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within fourteen Clear Days after notice demanding payment, and stating that if the notice is not complied with the share may be sold, has been given to the Holder of the share or to the person entitled to it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder.

 

(c)To give effect to a sale, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall be entered in the Register as the Holder of the share comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase moneys nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale, and after the name of the transferee has been entered in the Register, the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

 

(d)The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable and any residue (upon surrender to the Company for cancellation of the certificate for the shares sold and subject to a like lien for any moneys not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) shall be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

 

17

 

 

19.(a) Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make calls upon the members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares and each member (subject to receiving at least fourteen Clear Days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made) shall pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A call may be revoked before receipt by the Company of a sum due thereunder, in whole or in part and payment of a call may be postponed in whole or in part. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which the call was made.

 

(b)A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed.

 

(c)The joint Holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

(d)If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due until it is paid at the rate fixed by the terms of allotment of the share or in the notice of the call or, if no rate is fixed, at the appropriate rate (as defined by the Act) but the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

 

(e)An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid the provisions of these articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

(f)Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference between the Holders in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their shares.

 

(g)The Directors, if they think fit, may receive from any member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may pay (until the same would, but for such advance, become payable) interest at such rate, not exceeding (unless the Company in general meeting otherwise directs) fifteen percent per annum, as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the member paying such sum in advance.

 

(h)(i) If a member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors, at any time thereafter and during such times as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid, may serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued.

 

(ii)The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen Clear Days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

(iii)If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with then, at any time thereafter before the payment required by the notice has been made, any shares in respect of which the notice has been given may be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. The forfeiture shall include all dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not paid before forfeiture. The Directors may accept a surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder.

(iv)On the trial or hearing of any action for the recovery of any money due for any call it shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the member sued is entered in the Register as the Holder, or one of the Holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued, that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book and that notice of such call was duly given to the member sued, in pursuance of these articles, and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call nor any other matters whatsoever, but the proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.

 

(i)Α forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal such a share is to be transferred to any person, the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share to that person. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of and thereupon he shall be registered as the Holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share.

 

(j)Α person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares, but nevertheless shall remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, without any deduction or allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the shares.

 

(k)Α statutory declaration that the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company, and that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.

 

(l)The provisions of these articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

(m)The Directors may accept the surrender of any share which the Directors have resolved to have been forfeited upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed and, subject to any such terms and conditions, a surrendered share shall be treated as if it has been forfeited.

 

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

20.(a) The instrument of transfer of any share may be executed for and on behalf of the transferor by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or any such person that the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary nominates for that purpose (whether in respect of specific transfers or pursuant to a general standing authorisation), and the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or the relevant nominee shall be deemed to have been irrevocably appointed agent for the transferor of such share or shares with full power to execute, complete and deliver in the name of and on behalf of the transferor of such share or shares all such transfers of shares held by the members in the share capital of the Company. Any document which records the name of the transferor, the name of the transferee, the class and number of shares agreed to be transferred, the date of the agreement to transfer shares and the price per share, shall, once executed by the transferor or the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or the relevant nominee as agent for the transferor, and by the transferee where required by the Act, be deemed to be a proper instrument of transfer for the purposes of the Act. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the Holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered on the Register in respect thereof, and neither the title of the transferee nor the title of the transferor shall be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale should the Directors so determine.

 

19

 

 

(b)The Company, at its absolute discretion, may, or may procure that a subsidiary of the Company shall, pay Irish stamp duty arising on a transfer of shares on behalf of the transferee of such shares of the Company. If stamp duty resulting from the transfer of shares in the Company which would otherwise be payable by the transferee is paid by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company on behalf of the transferee, then in those circumstances, the Company shall, on its behalf or on behalf of its subsidiary (as the case may be), be entitled to (i) seek reimbursement of the stamp duty from the transferee or transferor, (ii) set-off the stamp duty against any dividends payable to the transferee of those shares and (iii) claim a first and paramount lien on the shares on which stamp duty has been paid by the Company or its subsidiary for the amount of stamp duty paid. The Company’s lien shall extend to all dividends paid on those shares.

 

(c)Notwithstanding the provisions of these articles and subject to any regulations made under section 1086 of the Act, title to any shares in the Company may also be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument in accordance with section 1086 of the Act or any regulations made thereunder. The Directors shall have power to permit any class of shares to be held in uncertificated form and to implement any arrangements they think fit for such evidencing and transfer which accord with such regulations and in particular shall, where appropriate, be entitled to disapply or modify all or part of the provisions in these articles with respect to the requirement for written instruments of transfer and share certificates (if any), in order to give effect to such regulations.

 

21.Subject to such of the restrictions of these articles and to such of the conditions of issue of any share warrants as may be applicable, the shares of any member and any share warrant may be transferred by instrument in writing in any usual or common form or any other form which the Directors may approve.

 

22.(a) The Directors in their absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefor may decline to register:

 

(i)any transfer of a share which is not fully paid; or

 

(ii)any transfer to or by a minor or person of unsound mind;

 

but this shall not apply to a transfer of such a share resulting from a sale of the share through a stock exchange on which the share is listed.

 

(b)The Directors may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless:

 

(i)the instrument of transfer is accompanied by any evidence the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

 

(ii)the instrument of transfer is in respect of one class of share only;

 

(iii)the instrument of transfer is properly stamped (in circumstances where stamping is required);

 

20

 

 

(iv)a fee of €10 or such lesser sum as the Directors may from time to time require, is paid to the Company in respect of it;

 

(v)the instrument of transfer is in favour of not more than four transferees;

 

(vi)it is lodged at the Office or at such other place as the Directors may appoint;

 

(vii)the Board is satisfied, acting reasonably, that all applicable consents, authorisations, permissions or approvals of any governmental body or agency in Ireland and any other applicable jurisdiction required to be obtained under relevant law prior to such transfer have been obtained; and

 

(viii)the Board is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the transfer would not violate the terms of any agreement to which the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and the transferor are party to or subject.

 

23.If the Directors refuse to register a transfer, they shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferee notice of the refusal.

 

24.(a) The Directors may from time to time fix a record date for the purposes of determining the rights of members to notice of and/or to vote at any general meeting of the Company. The record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Directors, and the record date shall be not more than eighty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Directors, the record date for determining members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the members shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given. Unless the Directors determine otherwise, a determination of members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of members shall apply to any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement of the meeting.

 

(b)In order that the Directors may determine the members entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the members entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than thirty nor less than two days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining members for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Directors adopt the resolution relating thereto.

 

25.Registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such period, not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year, as the Directors may from time to time determine subject to the requirements of the Act.

 

26.All instruments of transfer shall upon their being lodged with the Company remain the property of the Company and the Company shall be entitled to retain them.

 

27.Subject to the provisions of these articles, whenever as a result of a consolidation of shares or otherwise any members would become entitled to fractions of a share, the Directors may sell or cause to be sold, on behalf of those members, the shares representing the fractions for the best price reasonably obtainable to any person and distribute the proceeds of sale (subject to any applicable tax and abandoned property laws) in due proportion among those members, and the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

21

 

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

28.In the case of the death of a member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint Holder, and the personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole Holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint Holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons.

 

29.Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the Directors and subject as herein provided, elect either to be registered himself as Holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the shares by that member before his death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

 

30.If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person registered, he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice of transfer were a transfer signed by that member.

 

31.A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Holder of the share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to the meetings of the Company, so, however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share, and if the notice is not complied with within 90 days, the Directors may thereupon withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

 

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

 

32.(a) The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the authorised share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

 

(b)Subject to the provisions of the Act, the new shares shall be issued upon such terms and conditions and with such rights and privileges annexed thereto as the general meeting resolving upon the creation thereof shall direct, or if no such direction be given, as the Directors shall determine.

 

(c)Except so far as otherwise provided by the conditions of issue or by these articles, any capital raised by the creation of new shares shall be subject to the provisions herein contained with reference to the payment of calls and instalments, transfer and transmission, forfeiture, lien and otherwise.

 

22

 

 

33.The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

 

(a)divide its share capital into several classes and attach to them respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions;

 

(b)consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

 

(c)subdivide its existing shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the memorandum of association subject, nevertheless, to the Act; or

 

(d)cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and reduce the amount of its authorised share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; and

 

(e)subject to applicable law, change the currency denomination of its share capital.

 

34.The Company may by Special Resolution (or by Ordinary Resolution where permitted by section 83 of the Act) reduce its company capital (including its share capital, any capital redemption reserve fund or any share premium account or undenominated capital account) in any manner and with and subject to any incident authorised, and consent required, by law.

 

GENERAL MEETINGS

 

35.The Company shall in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in addition to any other meeting in that year, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting of the Company and that of the next.

 

36.Subject to the Act, all general meetings of the Company may be held outside of Ireland.

 

37.All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

38.The Directors may, whenever they think fit, convene an extraordinary general meeting, and extraordinary general meetings shall also be convened on such requisition, or in default may be convened by such requisitionists, as provided in section 178(3) of the Act.

 

39.All provisions of these articles relating to general meetings of the Company shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to every separate general meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company, except that:

 

(a)the necessary quorum shall be two or more persons holding or representing by proxy (whether or not such Holder actually exercises his voting rights in whole, in part or at all at the relevant general meeting) at least one-half in nominal value of the issued shares of the class or, at any adjourned meeting of such Holders, one Holder present in person or by proxy, whatever the amount of his holding, shall be deemed to constitute a meeting; and

 

(b)each Holder of shares of the class shall have one vote in respect of every share of the class held by him.

 

40.A Director shall be entitled, notwithstanding that he is not a member, to attend and speak at any general meeting and at any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company.

 

23

 

 

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

 

41.(a) Subject to the provisions of the Act allowing a general meeting to be called by shorter notice, an annual general meeting, and an extraordinary general meeting called for the passing of a special resolution, shall be called by not less than twenty-one Clear Days’ notice and all other extraordinary general meetings shall be called by not less than fourteen Clear Days’ notice.

 

(b)Any notice convening a general meeting shall specify the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of that business and, in reasonable prominence, that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote in his place and that a proxy need not be a member of the Company. It shall also give particulars of any Directors who are to retire at the meeting and of any persons who are recommended by the Directors for appointment or re-appointment as Directors at the meeting or in respect of whom notice has been duly given to the Company of the intention to propose them for appointment or re-appointment as Directors at the meeting. Provided that the latter requirement shall only apply where the intention to propose the person has been received by the Company in accordance with, and the proposal is otherwise made in compliance with, the provisions of these articles, including articles 44 to 45 and articles 56 to 65. Subject to any restrictions imposed on any shares, the notice of the meeting shall be given to all the members of the Company as of the record date set by the Directors and to the Directors and the Auditors.

 

(c)The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting.

 

42.Where, by any provision contained in the Act, extended notice is required of a resolution, the resolution shall not be effective (except where the Directors of the Company have resolved to submit it) unless notice of the intention to move it has been given to the Company not less than twenty-eight days (or such shorter period as the Act permit) before the meeting at which it is moved, and the Company shall give to the members notice of any such resolution as required by and in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

 

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

 

43.All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting, and also all that is transacted at an annual general meeting, with the exception of the review by the members of the Company’s affairs declaring a dividend, the consideration of the Company’s statutory financial statements and the reports of the Directors and auditors, the election of Directors, the re-appointment of the retiring auditors and the fixing of the remuneration of the auditors.

 

44.At any annual general meeting of the members, only such nominations of individuals for election to the Board shall be made, and only such other business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations to be properly made at an annual general meeting, and for other business to be properly brought before an annual general meeting, such nominations and other business must be: (a) specified in the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board; (b) otherwise made at the annual general meeting, by or at the direction of the Board; (c) or otherwise properly requested to be brought before the annual general meeting by a member of the Company in accordance with this article 44 and articles 56 to 65. For nominations of individuals for election to the Board or other business to be properly requested by a member to be made at or brought before an annual general meeting pursuant to this article 44(c), a member must (i) be a member at the time of giving of notice of such annual general meeting by or at the direction of the Board, on the record date for determination of members entitled to vote at such meeting, and at the time of the annual general meeting, (ii) be entitled to vote at such annual general meeting and (iii) comply with the procedures set forth in these articles as to such nomination or other business. This article 44 shall be the exclusive means for a member to make nominations or to bring other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Company’s notice of meeting) before an annual general meeting of members.

 

24

 

 

45.At any extraordinary general meeting of the members, only such business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an extraordinary general meeting, such business must be (a) specified in the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) otherwise brought before the extraordinary general meeting, by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the extraordinary general meeting by any members of the Company pursuant to the valid exercise of power granted to them under the Act to submit a requisition to the Company to convene an extraordinary general meeting (such requisition, an “EGM Request”) and in accordance with this article 45 and articles 56 to 65; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board from submitting additional matters to members at any such extraordinary general meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at an extraordinary general meeting of members at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board, or (b) by any member of the Company who (i) is a member at the time of giving of notice of such extraordinary general meeting, on the record date for determination of members entitled to vote at such meeting and at the time of the extraordinary general meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (iii) complies with the procedures set forth in these articles as to such nomination. This article 45 shall be the exclusive means for a member to make nominations or bring other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Company’s notice of meeting) before an extraordinary general meeting of members. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in these articles shall be construed to confer on any member the right to request an extraordinary general meeting or to make nominations or to bring any other business at any extraordinary general meeting (whether requisitioned by members pursuant to an EGM Request or otherwise), or to expand any rights that members have with respect to any extraordinary general meeting that is held in connection with an EGM Request (including any such extraordinary general meeting that is convened by the Board in response to an EGM Request) beyond those rights provided to members under the Act.

 

46.No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. One or more Holders of shares, present in person or by proxy (whether or not such Holder actually exercises his voting rights in whole, in part or at all at the relevant general meeting), entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Company on the relevant record date shall constitute a quorum.

 

47.Any general meeting duly called at which a quorum is not present shall be adjourned and the Company shall provide notice pursuant to article 41 in the event that such meeting is to be reconvened.

 

48.The Chairman, if any, of the Board shall preside as Chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such Chairman, or if he is not present at the time appointed for the holding of the meeting or is unwilling to act, any Director of the Company or any other person nominated by the Board (or if the Board has not nominated any such person prior to the meeting or the Chairman or such person is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting or is unwilling to act, such an officer or Director or any other person elected by the Directors present at the meeting) shall preside as Chairman of the meeting.

 

25

 

 

49.If at any general meeting no person nominated in accordance with article 48 is willing to act as Chairman or if no such person is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the members present shall choose one of their number to be Chairman of the meeting.

 

50.The Chairman may, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present, and shall if so directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place without notice other than by announcement of the time and place of the adjourned meeting by the Chairman of the meeting. The Chairman of the meeting may at any time without the consent of the meeting adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place if, in his opinion, it would facilitate the conduct of the business of the meeting to do so or if he is so directed by the Board. Save as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

 

51.At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided by poll.

 

52.A poll shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting.

 

53.On a poll taken at any general meeting or any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company, a Holder, whether present in person or by proxy, entitled to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

 

54.Where there is an equality of votes, the Chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have.

 

55.Unless the Directors otherwise determine, no member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting or any separate meeting of the Holders of any class of shares in the Company, either in person or by proxy, or to exercise any privilege as a member in respect of any share held by him unless all monies then payable by him in respect of that share have been paid.

 

ADVANCE NOTICE OF MEMBER BUSINESS AND NOMINATIONS

 

56.Subject to article 63, but otherwise without qualification or limitation, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual general meeting by a member pursuant to article 44, the member must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary in proper form, and in accordance with this article 56 and articles 58 to 65, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for member action.

 

(a)To be timely, a member’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Office not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day and not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual general meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual general meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the member must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such annual general meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of such annual general meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual general meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual general meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company. In no event shall any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement of an annual general meeting, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a member’s notice as described above. For the avoidance of doubt, a member shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these articles.

 

26

 

 

(b)Notwithstanding anything in article 56(a) to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board is increased by the Board, and there is no public announcement by the Company naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least ten (10) days prior to the deadline for nominations that would otherwise be applicable under this article 56, a member’s notice required by this article 56 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Office not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.

 

57.Subject to article 63, but otherwise without qualification or limitation, for any business to be properly requested to be brought before an extraordinary general meeting by a member, the member must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary in proper form and in accordance with this article 57 and articles 58 to 65, and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for member action.

 

(a)Subject to article 63, in the event that an extraordinary general meeting of members is called by a member of the Company pursuant to an EGM Request, the purpose of which is the election of one or more Directors to the Board, the right of any member to nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Company’s notice of meeting shall be subject to such member having given timely notice thereof. To be timely, a member’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Office not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such extraordinary general meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of such extraordinary general meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such extraordinary general meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such extraordinary general meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the extraordinary general meeting and, if applicable, of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment, recess, rescheduling or postponement of an extraordinary general meeting of members, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a member’s notice as described above. For the avoidance of doubt, a member shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these articles.

 

(b)Notwithstanding anything in article 57(a) to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board is increased by the Board, and there is no public announcement by the Company naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least ten (10) days prior to the deadline for nominations that would otherwise be applicable under this article 57, a member’s notice required by this article 57 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Office not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Company.

 

27

59.Notwithstanding the provisions of these articles, a member giving the notice shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these articles; provided, however, that any references in these articles to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the separate and additional requirements set forth in these articles with respect to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered.

 

60.Only persons who are nominated by members in accordance with the procedures set forth in article 44 to 45 and articles 56 to 65 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of members of the Company to serve as Directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of members as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in articles 44 to 45 and articles  56 to 65. The procedures set forth in articles 44 to 45 and articles 56 to 65 for nomination for the election of Directors by members are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any procedures now in effect or hereafter adopted by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof.

 

61.Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of article 44 and articles 56 to 65, if the member giving the notice (or a qualified representative thereof) does not appear at the annual or extraordinary general meeting of members of the Company to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company.

 

30

 

 

62.Except as otherwise provided by law, the Board or the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power (a) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in articles 44 and 45 and articles 56 to 65 (including whether the member or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or business proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such member’s nominee or business proposal in compliance with such member’s representation as required by article 59(a)(v)) and (b) if any nomination or proposal was not made or proposed in compliance with articles 44 and 45 and articles 56 to 65, or if any of the information provided to the Company pursuant to articles 44 and 45 and articles 56 to 65 was inaccurate, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted.

Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, nothing in these articles shall be construed to permit any member, or give any member the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of Director or Directors or any other business proposal, unless such Member has complied with these articles, including the provision to the Company of notices required thereunder in a timely manner.

65.Any individual who is nominated for election to the Board, including pursuant to these articles 44 and 45 and articles 56 to 65 shall tender an irrevocable resignation in advance of the general meeting.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

 

66.Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached by or in accordance with these articles to any class of shares, every member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he is the Holder.

 

67.When there are joint Holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint Holders; and for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register.

 

68.A member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction (whether in Ireland or elsewhere) in matters concerning mental disorder, may vote, on a poll, by his committee, receiver, guardian or other person appointed by that court and any such committee, receiver, guardian or other person may vote by proxy on a poll. Evidence to the satisfaction of the Directors of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote shall be received at the Office or at such other address as is specified in accordance with these articles for the receipt of appointments of proxy and in default the right to vote shall not be exercisable.

 

69.No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered, and every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairman of the meeting, whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

 

70.Votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

 

71.(a) Every member entitled to attend and vote at a general meeting may appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote on his behalf and may appoint more than one proxy to attend, speak and vote at the same meeting. The appointment of a proxy shall be in any form which the Directors may approve (subject to compliance with any requirements as to form prescribed by the Act and the Exchange Act) and, if required by the Company, shall be signed by or on behalf of the appointor. In relation to written proxies, a body corporate must sign a form of proxy under its common seal (if applicable) or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney thereof. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The appointment of a proxy in electronic or other form shall only be effective in such manner as the Directors may approve and subject to any requirements of the Act. An instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy or a corporate representative (other than a standing proxy or representative) together with such evidence as to its due execution as the Board may from time to time require, may be returned to the address or addresses stated in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or any other information or communication by such time or times as may be specified by the Board in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or in any other such information or communication (which times may differ when more than one place is so specified) or, if no such time is specified, at any time prior to the holding of the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting at which the appointee proposes to vote, and, subject to the Act, if not so delivered the appointment shall not be treated as valid.

 

32

 

 

(b)Without limiting the foregoing, the Directors may from time to time permit appointments of a proxy to be made by means of an electronic or internet communication or facility and may in a similar manner permit supplements to, or amendments or revocations of, any such electronic or internet communication or facility to be made. For the avoidance of doubt, such appointments of proxy as made by electronic or internet communication or facility as permitted by the Directors will be deemed to be deposited at the place specified for such purpose once received by the Company. The Directors may in addition prescribe the method of determining the time at which any such electronic or internet communication or facility is to be treated as received by the Company. The Directors may treat any such electronic or internet communication or facility which purports to be or is expressed to be sent on behalf of a Holder of a share as sufficient evidence of the authority of the person sending that instruction to send it on behalf of that Holder.

 

72.Any body corporate which is a member of the Company may authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the body corporate which he represents as that body corporate could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company. The Company may require evidence from the body corporate of the due authorisation of such person to act as the representative of the relevant body corporate.

 

73.An appointment of proxy relating to more than one meeting (including any adjournment thereof) having once been received by the Company for the purposes of any meeting shall not require to be delivered, deposited or received again by the Company for the purposes of any subsequent meeting to which it relates.

 

74.Receipt by the Company of an appointment of proxy in respect of a meeting shall not preclude a member from attending and voting at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof. An appointment proxy shall be valid, unless the contrary is stated therein, as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates.

 

75.(a) A vote given in accordance with the terms of an appointment of proxy or a resolution authorising a representative to act on behalf of a body corporate shall be valid notwithstanding the death or insanity of the principal, or the revocation of the appointment of proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was appointed or of the resolution authorising the representative to act or transfer of the share in respect of which the proxy was appointed or the authorisation of the representative to act was given, provided that no intimation in writing (whether in electronic form or otherwise) of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer shall have been received by the Company at the Office before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the appointment of proxy is used or at which the representative acts.

 

33

 

 

(b)The Directors may send, at the expense of the Company, by post, electronic mail or otherwise, to the members forms for the appointment of a proxy (with or without stamped envelopes for their return) for use at any general meeting or at any class meeting, either in blank or nominating any one or more of the Directors or any other persons in the alternative.

 

76.Subject to the Act and the Exchange Act, a resolution in writing signed by all of the members for the time being entitled to attend and vote on such resolution at a general meeting (or being bodies corporate by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective for all purposes as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more persons, and if described as a special resolution shall be deemed to be a special resolution within the meaning of the Act. Any such resolution shall be served on the Company.

 

DIRECTORS

 

77.The number of Directors shall be as the Board may determine from time to time, but shall not be less than two nor more than twenty unless otherwise determined by the Company in a general meeting. The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, provided that if the number of the Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum the remaining Director or Directors shall appoint forthwith an additional Director or additional Directors to make up such minimum or shall convene a general meeting of the Company for the purpose of making such appointment. If, at any annual general meeting of the Company, the number of Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum due to the failure of any Directors to be re-elected, then in those circumstances, the two Directors which receive the highest number of votes in favour of re-election shall be re-elected and shall remain Directors until such time as additional Directors have been appointed to replace them as Directors. If, at any annual general meeting of the Company, the number of Directors is reduced below the prescribed minimum in any circumstances where one Director is re-elected, then that Director shall hold office until the next annual general meeting and the Director which (excluding the re-elected Director) receives the highest number of votes in favour of re-election shall be re-elected and shall remain a Director until such time as one or more additional Directors have been appointed to replace him or her. If there are no Director or Directors able or willing to act then any two members may summon a general meeting for the purpose of appointing Directors. Any additional Director so appointed shall hold office (subject to the provisions of the Act and these articles) only until the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company next following such appointment unless he is re-elected during such meeting.

 

78.Each Director (whether or not an employee) shall be paid a fee or other remuneration for their services at such rate and/or on such basis as may from time to time be determined by the Board. The Directors may also be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from meetings of the Directors or any committee of the Directors or general meetings of the Company or in connection with the business of the Company. The amount, rate or basis of the fees, remuneration or expenses paid to the Directors shall not require approval or ratification by the Company in a general meeting.

 

79.If any Director shall be called upon to perform extra services which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director, the Company may remunerate such Director either by a fixed sum or by a percentage of profits or otherwise as may be determined by a resolution passed at a meeting of the Directors and such remuneration may be either in addition to or in substitution for any other remuneration to which he may be entitled as a Director.

 

34

 

 

80.A Director (whether or not a member of the Company) shall be entitled to attend and speak at general meetings.

 

81.Unless the Company otherwise directs, a Director of the Company may be or become a Director or other officer of, or otherwise interested in, any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as Holder or otherwise, and no such Director shall be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a Director or officer of, or from his interest in, such other company.

 

BORROWING POWERS

 

82.Subject to the Act, the Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow or raise money, and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property, assets and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party, without any limitation as to amount.

 

POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE DIRECTORS

 

83.The business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors, who may pay all expenses incurred in promoting and registering the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not, by the Act or by these articles, required to be exercised by the Company in general meeting, subject, nevertheless, to any of these articles and to the provisions of the Act.

 

84.The Directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney appoint any company, firm or person or body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Directors, to be the attorney or attorneys of the Company for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Directors under these articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit, and any such power of attorney may contain such provisions for the protection of persons dealing with any such attorney as the Directors may think fit, and may also authorise any such attorney to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in him.

 

85.The Company may exercise the powers conferred by the Act with regard to having an official seal for use abroad and such powers shall be vested in the Directors.

 

86.

 

(a)Each Director is expressly permitted (for the purposes of Section 228(1)(d) of the Act) to use vehicles, telephones, computers, accommodation and any other Company property as may be specified by the directors where such use is approved by the Board or by any person so authorised by the Board or as permitted by their terms of employment or appointment.

 

(b)A Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors in accordance with the Act.

 

(c)As recognised by section 228(1)(e) of the Act, the Directors may agree to restrict their power to exercise an independent judgement but only where this has been approved by a resolution of the Board of the Company.

 

35

 

 

(d)Nothing in section 228(1)(d) or section 228(1)(f) of the Act shall restrict a Director from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that may from time to time be presented to Directors other than in their role as directors of the Company, even if the opportunity is one that the Company or its subsidiaries might reasonably be expected to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so. The Directors shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Company and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be deemed to have breached any fiduciary or other duty solely by reason of the fact that such Director pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, a business opportunity shall not be deemed to be an opportunity of the Company if it is an opportunity that the Company is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, by its nature, not in line with the Company’s business or is of no advantage to it or is one in which the Company has no interest or reasonable prospect.

 

87.Save as otherwise provided by these articles, a Director shall not vote at a meeting of the Directors or a committee of Directors on any resolution concerning a matter in which he has, directly or indirectly, an interest which is material or a duty which conflicts or may conflict with the interests of the Company. A Director shall not be counted in the quorum present at a meeting in relation to any such resolution on which he is not entitled to vote.

 

(a)A Director shall be entitled (in the absence of some other material interest than is indicated below) to vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of any resolutions concerning any of the following matters, namely:

 

(i)the giving of any security, guarantee or indemnity to him in respect of money lent by him to the Company or any of its subsidiary or associated companies or obligations incurred by him or by any other person at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiary or associated companies;

 

(ii)the giving of any security, guarantee or indemnity to a third party in respect of a debt or obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiary or associated companies for which he himself has assumed responsibility in whole or in part and whether alone or jointly with others under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;

 

(iii)any proposal concerning any offer of shares or debentures or other securities of or by the Company or any of its subsidiary or associated companies for subscription, purchase or exchange in which offer he is or is to be interested as a participant in the underwriting or sub-underwriting thereof;

 

(iv)any proposal concerning any other company in which he is interested, directly or indirectly and whether as an officer or member or otherwise howsoever, provided that he is not the Holder of or beneficially interested in 1% or more of the issued shares of any class of such company or of the voting rights available to members of such company (or of a third company through which his interest is derived) (any such interest being deemed for the purposes of this article to be a material interest in all circumstances);

 

(v)any proposal concerning the adoption, modification or operation of a superannuation fund or retirement benefits scheme under which he may benefit;

 

36

 

 

(vi)any proposal concerning the adoption, modification or operation of any scheme or plan for the remuneration or reward of any employee, officer or Director (or any of them) of the Company and/or any subsidiary thereof, including (without limitation) in relation to the award or acquisition of shares (or any interest in shares), under which the Director benefits or may benefit; or

 

(vii)any proposal concerning the giving of any indemnity pursuant to article 139(a) or the discharge of the cost of any insurance coverage purchased or maintained pursuant to article 94 and article 139(b).

 

(b)Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment (including fixing or varying the terms of appointment) of two or more Directors to offices or employments with the Company or any company in which the Company is interested, such proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each Director separately and in such case each of the Directors concerned (if not debarred from voting under sub-paragraph (a)(iv) of this article) shall be entitled to vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of each resolution except that concerning his own appointment,

 

(c)If a question arises at a meeting of Directors or of a committee of Directors as to the materiality of a Director’s interest or as to the right of any Director to vote and such question is not resolved by his voluntarily agreeing to abstain from voting, such question may be referred, before the conclusion of the meeting, to the Chairman of the meeting and his ruling in relation to any Director other than himself shall be final and conclusive. In relation to the Chairman, such question may be resolved by a resolution of a majority of the Directors (other than the Chairman) present at the meeting at which the question first arises.

 

(d)For the purposes of this article, an interest of a person who is the spouse or a minor child of a Director shall be treated as an interest of the Director.

 

(e)The Company by Ordinary Resolution may suspend or relax the provisions of this article to any extent or ratify any transaction not duly authorised by reason of a contravention of this article.

 

88.A Director may hold and be remunerated in respect of any other office or place of profit under the Company or any other company in which the Company may be interested (other than the office of auditor of the Company or any subsidiary thereof) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors may determine, and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting or being interested, directly or indirectly, in any contract or arrangement with the Company or any such other company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profits and advantages accruing to him from any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established.

 

89.The Directors may exercise the voting powers conferred by shares of any other company held or owned by the Company in such manner in all respects as they think fit and in particular they may exercise their voting powers in favour of any resolution appointing the Directors or any of them as Directors or officers of such other company or providing for the payment of remuneration or pensions to the Directors or officers of such other company.

 

90.Any Director may act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director, but nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

 

37

 

 

91.All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for money paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, by such person or persons and in such manner as the Directors shall from time to time by resolution determine.

 

92.The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books provided for the purpose:

(c)of all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company and of the Directors and of committees of Directors.

 

93.The Directors may procure the establishment and maintenance of or participate in, or contribute to any non-contributory or contributory pension or superannuation fund, scheme or arrangement or life assurance scheme or arrangement for the benefit of, and pay, provide for or procure the grant of donations, gratuities, pensions, allowances, benefits or emoluments to any persons (including Directors or other officers) who are or shall have been at any time in the employment or service of the Company or of any company which is or was a subsidiary of the Company or of the predecessor in business of the Company or any such subsidiary or holding Company and the wives, widows, families, relatives or dependants of any such persons. The Directors may also procure the establishment and subsidy of or subscription to and support of any institutions, associations, clubs, funds or trusts calculated to be for the benefit of any such persons as aforesaid or otherwise to advance the interests and well being of the Company or of any such other Company as aforesaid, or its members, and payments for or towards the insurance of any such persons as aforesaid and subscriptions or guarantees of money for charitable or benevolent objects or for any exhibition or for any public, general or useful object. Provided that any Director shall be entitled to retain any benefit received by him under this article, subject only, where the Act require, to disclosure to the members and the approval of the Company in general meeting.

 

DISQUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

 

94.The office of a Director shall be vacated ipso facto if the Director:

 

(a)is restricted or disqualified to act as a Director under the Act; or

 

(b)resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company or in writing offers to resign and the Directors resolve to accept such offer; or

 

(c)is requested to resign in writing by not less than three quarters of the other Directors; or

 

(d)is removed from office under article 99.

 

APPOINTMENT, ROTATION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

 

95.At every annual general meeting of the Company, all of the Directors shall retire from office unless re-elected by Ordinary Resolution at the annual general meeting. A Director retiring at a meeting shall retain office until the close or adjournment of the meeting.

 

96.Every Director shall be eligible to stand for re-election at an annual general meeting in accordance with articles 44 to 65.

 

38

 

 

97.If a Director offers himself for re-election, he shall be deemed to have been re-elected, unless at such meeting the Ordinary Resolution for the re-election of such Director has been defeated.

 

98.The Company may from time to time by Special Resolution increase or reduce the maximum number of Directors.

 

99.The Company may, by Ordinary Resolution, of which notice has been given in accordance with the Act, remove any Director before the expiration of his period of office notwithstanding anything in these articles or in any agreement between the Company and such Director. Such removal shall be without prejudice to any claim such Director may have for damages for breach of any contract of service between him and the Company.

 

100.The Company may, by Ordinary Resolution, appoint another person in place of a Director removed from office under article 99 and without prejudice to the powers of the Directors under article 77, the Company in general meeting by Ordinary Resolution may appoint any person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director; provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed the maximum number of Directors as determined by the Board in accordance with article 77, and further provided that if, at the time the Company files its definitive proxy statement for any general meeting of the Company, the number of persons who are at such time validly nominated in accordance with these articles for election or re-election as Directors (such person collectively, the “Director Nominees”) exceeds the maximum number of Directors as determined by the Board in accordance with article 77 (the “Available Director Positions”, and such an election, a “contested election”) (whether to fill a vacancy pursuant to this article 100 arising from a removal or if members have the right to nominate directors for election at an annual general meeting or otherwise), then those Director Nominees in number equal to the Available Director Positions who receive the highest number of votes in favour of their election (whether or not such votes in favour represent, with respect to each such Director Nominee, a majority of the votes cast in respect of the election of such Director Nominee) by the members present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors shall be appointed Directors. For clarity, notwithstanding the withdrawal of any nominations for Directors in a contested election subsequent to the time the Company files its definitive proxy statement, the plurality voting provisions of the proviso in this article 100 will continue to apply to the election of Directors at any such meeting. If such members do not appoint a Director to fill such vacancy within 45 days after the occurrence of such vacancy, the Board may appoint a Director to fill such vacancy until the next meeting of the members held for the purpose of electing Directors. If not re-appointed at such general meeting, such Director shall vacate office at the conclusion thereof. The Directors are not entitled to appoint alternate directors.

 

101.The Directors may appoint a person who is willing to act to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director, provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed the maximum number of Directors as determined by the Board in accordance with article 77. A Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting. If not re-appointed at such annual general meeting, such Director shall vacate office at the conclusion thereof. The Directors are not entitled to appoint alternate directors.

 

102.

 

(a)The Directors may appoint (and remove) any person to fill the position of Secretary (including more than one Secretary to act as joint secretary).

 

(b)It shall be the duty of the Secretary to make and keep records of the votes, doings and proceedings of all meetings of the members and Board of the Company, and of its committees, and to authenticate records of the Company. The Secretary shall be appointed by the Directors for such term, at such remuneration and upon such conditions as they may think fit; and any Secretary so appointed may be removed by them.

 

39

 

 

(c)A provision of the Act or these articles requiring or authorising a thing to be done by or to a Director and the Secretary shall not be satisfied by its being done by or to the same person acting both as Director and as, or in place of, the Secretary.

 

(d)The Secretary may appoint (and remove) any one or more persons as Assistant Secretary from time to time, who may be delegated such functions of the Secretary as the Secretary may determine from time to time.

 

(e)Without limitation to the preceding paragraph, the Secretary may delegate any of his functions to such one or more persons (including individuals, bodies corporate or firms) as may be nominated by the Secretary from time to time.

 

(f)In addition to the Board’s power to delegate to committees pursuant to article 107, the Board may delegate any of its powers to any individual Director or member of the management of the Company or any of its subsidiaries as it sees fit; any such individual shall, in the exercise of the powers so delegated, conform to any regulations that may be imposed on them by the Board. The Board shall also have the power to appoint and remove officers of the Company including, but not limited to, chief executive officer, president, vice president, treasurer, controller and assistant treasurer.

 

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

 

103.(a) The Directors may meet together for the dispatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they may think fit. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Directors shall be a majority of the Directors in office at the time when the meeting is convened. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes cast by Directors present or represented at such meeting. Each Director present and voting shall have one vote.

 

(b)Any Director may participate in a meeting of the Directors by means of telephonic or other such communication whereby all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other speak, and participation in a meeting in this manner shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at such meeting and any director may be situated in any part of the world for any such meeting.

 

104.The Chairman or any four Directors may, and the Secretary on the requisition of the Chairman or any four Directors shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors.

 

105.The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their number but, if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these articles as the minimum number of Directors, the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to that number or of summoning a general meeting of the Company but for no other purpose.

 

106.The Directors may elect a Chairman of their meetings and determine the period for which he is to hold office. Any Director may be elected no matter by whom he was appointed but if no such Chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the Chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be Chairman of the meeting.

 

40

 

 

107.The Board may from time to time designate committees of the Board, with such powers and duties as the Board may decide to confer on such committees, and shall, for those committees and any others provided for herein, elect a director or directors to serve as the member or members, designating, if it desires, other directors as alternate members who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Adequate provision shall be made for notice to members of all meetings; a majority of the members shall constitute a quorum unless the committee shall consist of one or two members, in which event one member shall constitute a quorum; and all matters shall be determined by a majority vote of the members present. Action may be taken by any committee without a meeting if all members thereof consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of such committees.

 

108.A committee may elect a chairman of its meeting. If no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, the members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

109.All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors or by any person acting as a Director shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

 

110.Notwithstanding anything in these articles or in the Act which might be construed as providing to the contrary, notice of every meeting of the Directors shall be given to all Directors either by mail, telephone, email, or any other electronic means on not less than 48 hours’ notice, or on such shorter notice as person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate and which is reasonable in the circumstances and shall specify the purpose of such meeting and provide other customary information regarding the topics to be considered. Any Director may waive any notice required to be given under these articles, and the attendance of a Director at a meeting shall be deemed to be a waiver by such Director.

 

111.A resolution or other document in writing (in electronic form or otherwise) signed (whether by electronic signature, advanced electronic signature or otherwise as approved by the Directors) by all the Directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Directors or of a committee of Directors shall be as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of Directors or (as the case may be) a committee of Directors duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in the like form each signed by one or more Directors, and such resolution or other document or documents when duly signed may be delivered or transmitted (unless the Directors shall otherwise determine either generally or in any specific case) by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or some other similar means of transmitting the contents of documents.

 

THE SEAL

 

112.(a) The Directors shall ensure that the Seal (including any official securities seal kept pursuant to the Act) shall be used only by the authority of the Directors or of a committee authorised by the Directors and that every instrument to which the seal shall be affixed shall be signed by a Director or some other person appointed by the Directors for that purpose.

 

(b)The Company may exercise the powers conferred by the Act with regard to having an official seal for use abroad and such powers shall be vested in the Directors.

 

DIVIDENDS AND RESERVES

 

113.The Company in general meeting may declare dividends, but no dividends shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

 

114.The Directors may from time to time pay to the members such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company.

 

41

 

 

115.No dividend or interim dividend shall be paid otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

 

116.The Directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and pending such application may at the like discretion either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Directors may lawfully determine. The Directors may also, without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profits which they may think it prudent not to divide.

 

117.Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, such share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

 

118.The Directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any member all sums of money (if any) immediately payable by him to the Company in relation to the shares of the Company.

 

119.Any general meeting declaring a dividend or bonus and any resolution of the Directors declaring an interim dividend may direct payment of such dividend or bonus or interim dividend wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid up shares, debentures or debenture stocks of any other company or in any one or more of such ways, and the Directors shall give effect to such resolution, and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient, and in particular may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed, in order to adjust the rights of all the parties, and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

 

120.Any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of any share may be paid by cheque or warrant sent by post, at the risk of the person or persons entitled thereto, to the registered address of the Holder or, where there are joint Holders, to the registered address of that one of the joint Holders who is first named on the members Register or to such person and to such address as the Holder or joint Holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Any joint Holder or other person jointly entitled to a share as aforesaid may give receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of the share. Any such dividend or other distribution may also be paid by any other method (including payment in a currency other than US$, electronic funds transfer, direct debit, bank transfer or by means of a relevant system) which the Directors consider appropriate and any member who elects for such method of payment shall be deemed to have accepted all of the risks inherent therein. The debiting of the Company’s account in respect of the relevant amount shall be evidence of good discharge of the Company’s obligations in respect of any payment made by any such methods.

 

121.No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

 

122.If the Directors so resolve, any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date of its declaration shall be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

 

42

 

 

ACCOUNTS

 

123.(a) The Company shall cause to be kept adequate accounting records, whether in the form of documents, electronic form or otherwise, that:

 

(i)correctly record and explain the transactions of the Company;

 

(ii)will enable, at any time, the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company to be determined with reasonable accuracy;

 

(iii)will enable the Directors to ensure that any financial statements of the Company comply with the requirements of the Act; and

 

(iv)will enable those financial statements of the Company to be readily and properly audited.

 

Accounting records shall be kept on a continuous and consistent basis and entries therein shall be made in a timely manner and be consistent from year to year. Adequate accounting records shall be deemed to have been maintained if they comply with the provisions of the Act and explain the Company’s transactions and facilitate the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit and loss of the Company and, if relevant, the Group and include any information and returns referred to in section 283(2) of the Act.

 

The Company may send by post, electronic mail or any other means of electronic communication a summary financial statement to its members or persons nominated by any member. The Company may meet, but shall be under no obligation to meet, any request from any of its members to be sent additional copies of its full report and accounts or summary financial statement or other communications with its members provided that, where the Directors elect to send summary financial statements to the members, any member may require that he be sent a copy of the statutory financial statements of the Company.

 

(b)The accounting records shall be kept at the Office or, subject to the provisions of the Act, at such other place as the Directors think fit and shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Directors.

 

(c)In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Directors shall cause to be prepared and to be laid before the annual general meeting of the Company from time to time such statutory financial statements and reports as are required by the Act to be prepared and laid before such meeting.

 

(d)A copy of every statutory financial statement of the Company (including every document required by law to be annexed thereto) which is to be laid before the annual general meeting of the Company together with a copy of the Directors’ report, or summary financial statements prepared in accordance with section 1119 of the Act, and Auditors’ report shall be sent by post, electronic mail or any other means of communication (electronic or otherwise), not less than twenty-one Clear Days before the date of the annual general meeting, to every person entitled under the provisions of the Act to receive them; provided that in the case of those documents sent by electronic mail or any other means of electronic communication, such documents shall be sent with the consent of the recipient, to the address of the recipient notified to the Company by the recipient for such purposes.

 

43

 

 

124.The Directors shall determine from time to time whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of members, not being Directors, and no member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by the Act or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting. No member shall be entitled to require discovery of or any information respecting any detail of the Company’s trading, or any matter which is or may be in the nature of a trade secret, mystery of trade, or secret process which may relate to the conduct of the business of the Company and which in the opinion of the Directors it would be inexpedient in the interests of the members of the Company to communicate to the public.

 

CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS

 

125.Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Directors as aforesaid and subject to the Directors’ authority to issue and allot shares under articles 8(c) and 8(d), the Directors may resolve to capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including any capital redemption reserve fund, share premium account, any undenominated capital, any sum representing unrealised revaluation reserves, merger reserves or other reserve account not available for distribution) or to the credit of the profit and loss account which is not available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up in full unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares to those members of the Company who would have been entitled to that sum if it were distributable and had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions). Whenever such a resolution is passed in pursuance of-this article, the Directors shall make all appropriations and applications of the amounts resolved to be capitalised thereby and all allotments and issues of fully paid shares or debentures, if any. Any such capitalisation will not require approval or ratification by the members of the Company.

 

126.Without prejudice to any powers conferred on the Directors by these articles, and subject to the Directors’ authority to issue and allot shares under articles 8(c) and 8(d), the Directors may resolve that any sum for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts (including any reserve account available for distribution) or to the credit of the profit and loss account be capitalised and applied on behalf of the members who would have been entitled to receive that sum if it had been distributed by way of dividend (and in the same proportions) either in or towards paying up amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to the sum capitalised (such shares or debentures to be allotted and distributed and credited as fully paid up to and amongst such Holders in the proportions aforesaid) or partly in one way and partly in another, so, however, that the only purposes for which sums standing to the credit of the capital redemption reserve fund or the share premium account or any undenominated capital shall be applied shall be those permitted by the Act.

 

127.The Directors may from time to time at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Act and, in particular, to their being duly authorised pursuant to Section 1021 of the Act, to allot the relevant shares, offer to the Holders of ordinary shares the right to elect to receive in lieu of any dividend or proposed dividend or part thereof an allotment of additional ordinary shares credited as fully paid. In any such case the following provisions shall apply.

 

(i)The basis of allotment shall be determined by the Directors so that, as nearly as may be considered convenient in the Directors’ absolute discretion, the value (calculated by reference to the average quotation) of the additional ordinary shares (excluding any fractional entitlement) to be allotted in lieu of any amount of dividend shall equal such amount. For such purpose the “average quotation” of an ordinary share shall be the average of the five amounts resulting from determining whichever of the following ((A), (B) or (C) specified below) in respect of ordinary shares shall be appropriate for each of the first five business days on which ordinary shares are quoted “ex” the relevant dividend and as determined from the information published by the New York Stock Exchange reporting the business done on each of these five business days:

 

(A)if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day, the average of the prices at which such dealings took place; or

 

44

 

 

(B)if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the price at which such dealing took place; or

 

(C)if there shall not be any dealing reported for the day, the average of the closing bid and offer prices for the day;

 

and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) or an offer (but not a bid) price reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer price reported, for any particular day then that day shall not count as one of the said five business days for the purposes of determining the average quotation. If the means of providing the foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to which the average quotation is to be determined is altered or is replaced by some other means, then the average quotation shall be determined on the basis of the equivalent information published by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on the New York Stock Exchange or its equivalent.

 

(ii)The Directors shall give notice in writing (whether in electronic form or otherwise) to the Holders of ordinary shares of the right of election offered to them and shall send with or following such notice forms of election and specify the procedure to be followed and the place at which, and the latest date and time by which, duly completed forms of election must be lodged in order to be effective. The Directors may also issue forms under which Holders may elect in advance to receive new ordinary shares instead of dividends in respect of future dividends not yet declared (and, therefore, in respect of which the basis of allotment shall not yet have been determined).

 

(iii)The dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been offered) shall not be payable on ordinary shares in respect of which the right of election as aforesaid has been duly exercised (the “Subject Ordinary Shares”) and in lieu thereof additional ordinary shares (but not any fraction of a share) shall be allotted to the Holders of the Subject Ordinary Shares on the basis of allotment determined aforesaid and for such purpose the Directors shall capitalise, out of such of the sums standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserves (including any capital redemption reserve fund or share premium account) or to the credit of the profit and loss account as the Directors may determine, a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of additional ordinary shares to be allotted on such basis and apply the same in paying up in full the appropriate number of unissued ordinary shares for allotment and distribution to and amongst the holders of the Subject Ordinary Shares on such basis.

 

128.(a) Any additional ordinary shares allotted pursuant to articles 125, 126 or 127 shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid ordinary shares then in issue save only as regards participation in the relevant dividend or share election in lieu.

 

(b)The Directors may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any capitalisation pursuant to articles 125, 126 or 127 with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit where shares would otherwise have been distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby, in whole or in part, fractional entitlements are disregarded and the benefit of fractional entitlements accrues to the Company rather than to the holders concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Holders interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

 

45

 

 

(c)The Directors may on any occasion determine that rights of election shall not be offered to any Holders of ordinary shares who are citizens or residents of any territory where the making or publication of an offer of rights of election or any exercise of rights of election or any purported acceptance of the same would or might be unlawful, and in such event the provisions aforesaid shall be read and construed subject to such determination.

 

ΑUDΙΤ

 

129.Auditors shall be appointed and their duties regulated in accordance with the Act or any statutory amendment thereof.

 

NOTICES

 

130.Any notice to be given, served, sent or delivered pursuant to these articles shall be in writing (whether in electronic form or otherwise).

 

131.(a) A notice or document to be given, served, sent or delivered in pursuance of these articles may be given to, served on or delivered to any member by the Company;

 

(i)by handing same to him or his authorised agent;

 

(ii)by leaving the same at his registered address;

 

(iii)by sending the same by the post in a pre-paid cover addressed to him at his registered address; or

 

(iv)by sending, with the consent of the member, the same by means of electronic mail or other means of electronic communication approved by the Directors, with the consent of the member, to the address of the member notified to the Company by the member for such purpose (or if not so notified, then to the address of the member last known to the Company) and this article 131(a)(iv) constitutes permission of the use of electronic means within the meaning of 218(3)(d) of the Act.

 

(b)For the purposes of these articles and the Act, a document shall be deemed to have been sent to a member if a notice is given, served, sent or delivered to the member and the notice specifies the website or hotlink or other electronic link at or through which the member may obtain a copy of the relevant document.

 

(c)Where a notice or document is given, served or delivered pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) of this article, the giving, service or delivery thereof shall be deemed to have been effected at the time the same was handed to the member or his authorised agent, or left at his registered address (as the case may be).

 

(d)Where a notice or document is given, served or delivered pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(iii) of this article, the giving, service or delivery thereof shall be deemed to have been effected at the expiration of twenty-four hours after the cover containing it was posted. In proving service or delivery it shall be sufficient to prove that such cover was properly addressed, stamped and posted.

 

46

 

 

(e)Where a notice or document is given, served or delivered pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(iv) of this article, the giving, service or delivery thereof shall be deemed to have been effected at the expiration of twelve hours after despatch.

 

(f)Every legal personal representative, committee, receiver, curator bonis or other legal curator, assignee in bankruptcy, examiner or liquidator of a member shall be bound by a notice given as aforesaid if sent to the last registered address of such member, or, in the event of notice given or delivered pursuant to sub-paragraph (a)(iv), if sent to the address notified by the Company by the member for such purpose notwithstanding that the Company may have notice of the death, lunacy, bankruptcy, liquidation or disability of such member.

 

(g)Notwithstanding anything contained in this article the Company shall not be obliged to take account of or make any investigations as to the existence of any suspension or curtailment of postal services within or in relation to all or any part of any jurisdiction or other area other than Ireland.

 

(h)Any requirement in these articles for the consent of a member in regard to the receipt by such member of electronic mail or other means of electronic communications approved by the Directors, including the receipt of the Company’s audited accounts and the directors’ and auditor’s reports thereon, shall be deemed to have been satisfied where the Company has written to the member informing him/her of its intention to use electronic communications for such purposes and the member has not, within four weeks of the issue of such notice, served an objection in writing on the Company to such proposal. Where a member has given, or is deemed to have given, his/her consent to the receipt by such member of electronic mail or other means of electronic communications approved by the Directors, he/she may revoke such consent at any time by requesting the Company to communicate with him/her in documented form; provided, however, that such revocation shall not take effect until five days after written notice of the revocation is received by the Company.

 

(i)Without prejudice to the provisions of sub-paragraphs (a)(i) and (ii) of this article, if at any time by reason of the suspension or curtailment of postal services in any territory, the Company is unable effectively to convene a general meeting by notices sent through the post, a general meeting may be convened by a public announcement and such notice shall be deemed to have been duly served on all members entitled thereto at noon on the day on which the said public announcement is made. In any such case the Company shall put a full copy of the notice of the general meeting on its website.

 

132.A notice may be given by the Company to the joint Holders of a share by giving the notice to the joint Holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the share and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint Holders.

 

133.(a) Every person who becomes entitled to a share shall before his name is entered in the Register in respect of the share, be bound by any notice in respect of that share which has been duly given to a person from whom he derives his title.

 

(b)A notice may be given by the Company to the persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member by sending or delivering it, in any manner authorised by these articles for the giving of notice to a member, addressed to them at the address, if any, supplied by them for that purpose. Until such an address has been supplied, a notice may be given in any manner in which it might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

 

47

 

 

134.The signature (whether electronic signature, an advanced electronic signature or otherwise) to any notice to be given by the Company may be written (in electronic form or otherwise) or printed.

 

135.A member present, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting of the Company or the Holders of any class of shares in the Company shall be deemed to have received notice of the meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which it was called.

 

WINDING UP

 

136.If the Company shall be wound up and the assets available for distribution among the members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid up or credited as paid up share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the members in proportion to the capital paid up or credited as paid up at the commencement of the winding up on the shares held by them respectively. And if in a winding up the assets available for distribution among the members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital paid up or credited as paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed among the members in proportion to the capital at the commencement of the winding up paid up or credited as paid up on the said shares held by them respectively. Provided that this article shall not affect the rights of the Holders of shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

 

137.(a) In case of a sale by the liquidator under the Act, the liquidator may by the contract of sale agree so as to bind all the members for the allotment to the members directly of the proceeds of sale in proportion to their respective interests in the Company and may further by the contract limit a time at the expiration of which obligations or shares not accepted or required to be sold shall be deemed to have been irrevocably refused and be at the disposal of the Company, but so that nothing herein contained shall be taken to diminish, prejudice or affect the rights of dissenting members conferred by the said section.

 

(b)The power of sale of the liquidator shall include a power to sell wholly or partially for debentures, debenture stock, or other obligations of another company, either then already constituted or about to be constituted for the purpose of carrying out the sale.

 

138.If the Company is wound up, the liquidator, with the sanction of a Special Resolution and any other sanction required by the Act, may divide among the members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not), and, for such purpose, may value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator, with the like sanction, may vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as, with the like sanction, he determines, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any assets upon which there is a liability.

 

INDEMNITY

 

139.(a) Subject to the provisions of and so far as may be admitted by the Act, every Director and the Secretary of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of the Company and in which judgement is given in his favour (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the Court.

 

48

 

 

(b)The Directors shall have power to purchase and maintain for any Director, the Secretary or other employees of the Company insurance against any such liability as referred to in the Act.

 

(c)As far as is permissible under the Act, the Company shall indemnify any current or former executive officer of the Company (excluding any present or former Directors of the Company or Secretary of the Company), or any person who is serving or has served at the request of the Company as a director or executive officer of another company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any Company subsidiary (each individually, a “Covered Person”), against any expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgements, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which he or she was or is threatened to be made a party, or is otherwise involved (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Covered Person; provided, however, that this provision shall not indemnify any Covered Person against any liability arising out of (a) any fraud or dishonesty in the performance of such Covered Person’s duty to the Company, or (b) such Covered Party’s conscious, intentional or wilful breach of the obligation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Act or to any person holding the office of auditor in relation to the Company.

 

(d)In the case of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the name of the Company, the Company shall indemnify each Covered Person against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defence or the settlement thereof, except no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for fraud or dishonesty in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, or for conscious, intentional or wilful breach of his or her obligation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Court or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, this section shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Act or to any person holding the office of auditor in relation to the Company.

 

(e)Any indemnification under this article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorised in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this article. Such determination shall be made by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Company. To the extent, however, that any Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defence of any proceeding, or in defence of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Covered Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without necessity of authorisation in the specific case.

 

(f)As far as permissible under the Act, expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in defending any proceeding for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to this article shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt by the Board of an undertaking by the particular indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to these articles.

 

49

 

 

(g)It being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in this article shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law, the indemnification provided by this article shall not be deemed exclusive (a) of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under these articles, any agreement, any insurance purchased by the Company, vote of members or disinterested directors, or pursuant to the direction (however embodied) of any court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, or (b) of the power of the Company to indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Company or of another company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise which he or she is serving or has served at the request of the Company, to the same extent and in the same situations and subject to the same determinations as are hereinabove set forth. As used in this article, references to the “Company” include all constituent companies in a scheme of arrangement, consolidation or merger in which the Company or a predecessor to the Company by scheme of arrangement, consolidation or merger was involved. The indemnification provided by this article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered Person and shall inure to the benefit of their heirs, executors, and administrators.

 

UNTRACED HOLDERS

 

140.(a) The Company shall be entitled to sell at the best price reasonably obtainable any share or stock of a member or any share or stock to which a person is entitled by transmission if and provided that:

 

(i)for a period of twelve years (not less than three dividends having been declared and paid) no cheque or warrant sent by the Company through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to the member or to the person entitled by transmission to the share or stock at his address on the Register or other last known address given by the member or the person entitled by transmission to which cheques and warrants are to be sent has been cashed and no communication has been received by the Company from the member or the person entitled by transmission; and

 

(ii)at the expiration of the said period of twelve years the Company has given notice by advertisement in a leading Dublin newspaper and a newspaper circulating in the area in which the address referred to in paragraph (a) of this article is located of its intention to sell such share or stock; and

 

(iii)the Company has not during the further period of three months after the date of the advertisement and prior to the exercise of the power of sale received any communication from the member or person entitled by transmission.

 

(b)To give effect to any such sale the Company may appoint any person to execute as transferor an instrument of transfer of such share or stock and such instrument of transfer shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered Holder of or person entitled by transmission to such share or stock. The Company shall account to the member or other person entitled to such share or stock for the net proceeds of such sale by carrying all monies in respect thereof to a separate account which shall be a permanent debt of the Company and the Company shall be deemed to be a debtor and not a trustee in respect thereof for such member or other person. Monies carried to such separate account may either be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments (other than shares of the Company or its holding company if any) as the Directors may from time to time think fit.

 

50

 

 

(c)To the extent necessary in order to comply with any laws or regulations to which the Company is subject in relation to escheatment, abandonment of property or other similar or analogous laws or regulations (“Applicable Escheatment Laws”), the Company may deal with any share of any member and any unclaimed cash payments relating to such share in any manner which it sees fit, including (but not limited to) transferring or selling such share and transferring to third parties any unclaimed cash payments relating to such share.

 

(d)The Company may only exercise the powers granted to it in sub-paragraph (a) above in circumstances where it has complied with, or procured compliance with, the required procedures (as set out in the Applicable Escheatment Laws) with respect to attempting to identify and locate the relevant member of the Company.

 

(e)Any stock transfer form to be executed by the Company in order to sell or transfer a share pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) may be executed in accordance with article 20(a).

 

DESTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

 

141.The Company may implement such document destruction policies as it so chooses in relation to any type of documents (whether in paper, electronic or other formats), and in particular (without limitation to the foregoing) may destroy:

 

(a)any dividend mandate or any variation or cancellation thereof or any notification of change of name or address, at any time after the expiry of two years from the date such mandate variation, cancellation or notification was recorded by the Company;

 

(b)any instrument of transfer of shares which has been registered, at any time after the expiry of six years from the date of registration; and

 

(c)any other document on the basis of which any entry in the Register was made, at any time after the expiry of six years from the date an entry in the Register was first made in respect of it,

 

and it shall be presumed conclusively in favour of the Company that every share certificate (if any) so destroyed was a valid certificate duly and properly sealed and that every instrument of transfer so destroyed was a valid and effective instrument duly and properly registered and that every other document destroyed hereunder was a valid and effective document in accordance with the recorded particulars thereof in the books or records of the Company provided always that:

 

(i)the foregoing provisions of this article shall apply only to the destruction of a document in good faith and without express notice to the Company that the preservation of such document was relevant to a claim;

 

(ii)nothing contained in this article shall be construed as imposing upon the Company any liability in respect of the destruction of any such document earlier than as aforesaid or in any case where the conditions of proviso (a) above are not fulfilled; and

 

(iii)references in this article to the destruction of any document include references to its disposal in any manner.

 

51

 

 

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

 

142.Subject to applicable law, the Directors are hereby expressly authorised to adopt any shareholder rights plan (a “Rights Plan”), upon such terms and conditions as the Directors deem expedient and in the best interests of the Company, including, without limitation, where the Directors are of the opinion that a Rights Plan could grant them additional time to gather relevant information or pursue strategies in response to or anticipation of, or could prevent, a potential change of control of the Company or accumulation of shares in the Company or interests therein.

 

143.The Directors may exercise any power of the Company to grant rights (including approving the execution of any documents relating to the grant of such rights) to subscribe for ordinary shares or preferred shares in the share capital of the Company (“Rights”) in accordance with the terms of a Rights Plan.

 

144.For the purposes of effecting an exchange of Rights for ordinary shares or preferred shares in the share capital of the Company (an “Exchange”), the Directors may:

 

(a)resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of the reserves of the Company (including, but not limited to, the share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account), whether or not available for distribution, being an amount equal to the nominal value of the ordinary shares or preferred shares which are to be exchanged for the Rights; and

 

(b)apply that sum in paying up in full ordinary shares or preferred shares and allot such shares, credited as fully paid, to those holders of Rights who are entitled to them under an Exchange effected pursuant to the terms of a Rights Plan.

 

145.The common law duties of the Directors to the Company are hereby deemed amended and modified such that the adoption of a Rights Plan and any actions taken thereunder by the Directors (if so approved by the Directors) shall be deemed to constitute an action in the best interests of the Company in all circumstances, and any such action shall be deemed to be immediately confirmed, approved and ratified.

 

BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

146.(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these articles, the Company shall not engage in any business combination with any Interested Member for a period of three years following the time that such member became an Interested Member, unless:

 

(i)prior to such time the Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the member becoming an Interested Member;

 

(ii)upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the member becoming an Interested Member, the Interested Member owned at least 85% of the voting shares of the Company outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting shares owned by the Interested Member) those shares owned (A) by persons who are directors and also officers and (B) employee shares plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

(iii)at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the Directors and authorised by way of Special Resolution without the Interested Member.

 

52

 

 

(b)The Directors shall have the power and duty to determine, on the basis of information known to them after reasonable inquiry, all facts necessary to determine compliance with this article, including, without limitation, (i) whether a Person is an Interested Member, (ii) the number of shares or other securities beneficially owned by any Person, (iii) whether a Person is an Affiliate or Associate of another, and (iv) the fair market value of the Company’s securities or securities of any subsidiary of the Company, and the good faith determination of the Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all the purposes of this article.

 

(c)As used in this article only, the term:

 

(i)“Affiliate” means a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, another person.

 

(ii)“Associate”, when used to indicate a relationship with any person, means: (A) any company, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity of which such person is a director, officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the owner of 20% or more of any class of voting shares; (B) any trust or other estate in which such person has at least a 20% beneficial interest or as to which such person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and (C) any relative or spouse of such person, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same residence as such person.

 

(iii)“Business combination”, when used in reference to any company and any Interested Member of such company, means:

 

(A)any scheme of arrangement, merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company with (1) the Interested Member, or (2) any other company, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity if the scheme of arrangement, merger or consolidation is caused by the Interested Member;

 

(B)any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a member of such company, to or with the Interested Member, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Company or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Company determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding shares of the Company;

 

(C)any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Company or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company of any shares of the Company or of such subsidiary to the Interested Member, except: (1) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into shares of such company or any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the Interested Member became such; (2) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into shares of such company or any such subsidiary which security is distributed, pro rata to all holders of a class or series of shares of such company subsequent to the time the Interested Member became such; (3) pursuant to an exchange offer by the Company to purchase shares made on the same terms to all holders of said shares; or (4) any issuance or transfer of shares by the Company; provided however, that in no case under items (3) and (4) of this subparagraph shall there be an increase in the Interested Member’s proportionate share of the shares of any class or series of the Company or of the voting shares of the Company;

 

53

 

 

(D)any transaction involving the Company or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the shares of any class or series, or securities convertible into the shares of any class or series, of the Company or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the Interested Member, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or as a result of any purchase or redemption of any shares of shares not caused, directly or indirectly, by the Interested Member; or

 

(E)any receipt by the Interested Member of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a member of such company), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits (other than those expressly permitted in subparagraphs (A)-(D) of this paragraph) provided by or through the Company or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary.

 

(iv)“Control”, including the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting shares, by contract or otherwise. A person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of any company, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting shares, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this article, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

 

(v)“Interested Member” means any Person, including its Affiliates and Associates (other than the Company and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company), that is, or was at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date in question, the Owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of the Company; provided, however, that the term “Interested Member” shall not include any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation set forth herein is the result of action taken solely by the Company; provided that such person shall be an Interested Member if thereafter such person acquires additional voting shares of the Company, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an Interested Member, the voting shares of the Company deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed to be owned by the person through application of (viii) of this subsection but shall not include any other unissued shares of such company which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

 

54

 

 

(vi)“Person” means any individual, company, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

 

(vii)“Shares” means, with respect to any company, capital shares and, with respect to any other entity, any equity interest.

 

(viii)“Voting shares” means, with respect to any company, shares of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and, with respect to any entity that is not a company, any equity interest entitled to vote generally in the election of the governing body of such entity.

(A)beneficially owns such Shares, directly or indirectly; or

 

(B)has (1) the right to acquire such Shares (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the Owner of Shares tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such person or any of such person’s affiliates or associates until such tendered Shares are accepted for purchase or exchange; or (2) the right to vote such shares pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the Owner of any Shares because of such person’s right to vote such Shares if the agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such shares arises solely from a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a proxy or consent solicitation made to 10 or more persons; or

 

(C)has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (2) of subparagraph (B) of this paragraph), or disposing of such Shares with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose Affiliates or Associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such Shares.

THIS DEED OF INDEMNIFICATION (this “Agreement”), dated as of _____, 20__, is made by and between Mallinckrodt plc, a public limited company incorporated in Ireland, and _______ (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, it is essential to Mallinckrodt plc to retain and attract as directors and secretary the most capable persons available;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director or secretary of Mallinckrodt plc;

WHEREAS, each of Mallinckrodt plc and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of expensive and time-consuming litigation and other claims currently being asserted against directors and officers of companies;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for Mallinckrodt plc contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity (as defined below) free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (i) substantial protection against personal liability, and (ii) specific contractual assurance that such protection will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association or any change in the composition of Mallinckrodt plc’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to Mallinckrodt plc), Mallinckrodt plc wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification by Mallinckrodt plc of Indemnitee and, to the extent insurance is maintained, to provide for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under Mallinckrodt plc’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, in each case as set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and of Indemnitee serving or continuing to serve Mallinckrodt plc directly or, at the request of Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

provided, however, that any occurrence that would, in the absence of this proviso, otherwise constitute a Change in Control pursuant to any of clause (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 1(c), shall not constitute a Change in Control if such occurrence is approved in advance by a majority of the directors on the Board.

(d)            Enterprise: Mallinckrodt plc and any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc as a director, officer, secretary, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary, board of directors’ committee member, employee or agent.

(a)            General Agreement. In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding in whole or in part by reason of (or arising in whole or in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, Mallinckrodt plc shall indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted (but in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits Mallinckrodt plc to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto). For the purposes of this Agreement, the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include, but not be limited to: (i) to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of Irish law and/or the Articles of Association of Mallinckrodt plc that authorize, permit or contemplate indemnification by agreement, court action or corresponding provisions of any amendment to or replacement of such provisions; and (ii) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of Irish law and/or the Articles of Association of Mallinckrodt plc adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a company may indemnify its directors or secretary.

- 3 -

(b)            Initiation of Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries or any director, officer, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries unless (i) Mallinckrodt plc has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; (ii) the Proceeding is one to enforce indemnification rights under Section 4; or (iii) the Proceeding is instituted after a Change in Control and Independent Counsel has approved its initiation.

(c)            Mandatory Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by Mallinckrodt plc hereunder against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(d)            Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by Mallinckrodt plc for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, Mallinckrodt plc shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled, including, but not limited to successfully resolved claims in any Proceeding.

(e)            Prohibited Indemnification. No indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Mallinckrodt plc:

(i)            on account of any Proceeding in which a final and non-appealable judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of Mallinckrodt plc pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws;

(iii)            on account of any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event as to which the Indemnitee has been convicted of a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the jurisdiction where the criminal action had been brought (or, where a jurisdiction does not classify any crime as a felony, a crime for which Indemnitee is sentenced to death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year); or

- 4 -

(iv)            on account of any Proceeding brought by Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries against Indemnitee.

3.            Reviewing Party; Exhaustion of Remedies.

(a)            Prior to any Change in Control, the reviewing party (the “Reviewing Party”) shall be any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Board or any other person or body appointed by the Board who is not a party to the particular Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification; after a Change in Control, the Independent Counsel referred to below shall become the Reviewing Party. With respect to all matters arising after a Change in Control concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances (as defined in the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement) under the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Sucampo Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc (“Sucampo” and such agreement, as it may be amended from time to time, the “Sucampo Indemnification Agreement”), this Agreement, or any other agreement to which Mallinckrodt plc or any of its Affiliates is a party, Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of Sucampo (as in effect from time to time, collectively, the “Sucampo Organizational Documents”) or applicable law, in each case as now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo shall seek legal advice only from independent counsel (“Independent Counsel”) selected by Indemnitee and approved by Mallinckrodt plc (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has not otherwise performed services for Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo or the Indemnitee (other than in connection with indemnification matters) within the five years prior to such appointment. The Independent Counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo or Indemnitee in an action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee should be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. In doing so, the Independent Counsel may consult with (and rely upon) counsel in any appropriate jurisdiction who would qualify as Independent Counsel (“Local Counsel”). Mallinckrodt plc agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel and the Local Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of Independent Counsel or the Local Counsel pursuant hereto.

(b)            The Sucampo Indemnification Agreement provides that, prior to making written demand on Sucampo for indemnification pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement or making a request for Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement, Indemnitee shall (i) seek such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, under any applicable insurance policy of Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) request that Mallinckrodt plc consider in its discretion whether to make such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable. Upon any such request by Indemnitee of Mallinckrodt plc, Mallinckrodt plc shall consider whether to make such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, based on the facts and circumstances related to the request. Mallinckrodt plc may require, as a condition to making any indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, that Indemnitee enter into an agreement providing for such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, to be made subject to substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to an indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, by Sucampo under the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement (including, without limitation, conditioning any Expense Advance upon delivery to Mallinckrodt plc of an undertaking of the type described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 2(c) of the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement).

- 5 -

4.            Indemnification Process and Appeal.

(a)            Indemnification Payment. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification of Expenses, and shall receive payment thereof, from Mallinckrodt plc in accordance with this Agreement as soon as practicable after Indemnitee has made written demand on Mallinckrodt plc for indemnification, unless the Reviewing Party has given a written opinion to Mallinckrodt plc that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law.

(b)            Adjudication or Arbitration. (i)  Regardless of any action by the Reviewing Party, if Indemnitee has not received in full the requested indemnification within thirty days after making a demand or request in accordance with Section 4(a) (a “Nonpayment”), Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its rights thereto under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court located in the country of Ireland (an “Irish Court”) having subject matter jurisdiction thereof seeking an initial determination by the court or by challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by Indemnitee in any such litigation shall be binding on Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee. The remedy provided for in this Section 4 shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Indemnitee at law or in equity. Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (A) consent to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of all Irish Courts for purposes of any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (B) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration in any Irish Court, and (C) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration brought in any Irish Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any right Indemnitee may have under applicable law to bring any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration in any other court.

(ii)            Alternatively, in the case of a Nonpayment, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(iii)            In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4(b), Mallinckrodt plc shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

- 6 -

(iv)            In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 4(b), seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, and it is determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive all or any part of the indemnification sought, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from Mallinckrodt plc, and shall be indemnified by Mallinckrodt plc against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration.

(c)            Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions. (i)  It shall be a defense to any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration brought by Indemnitee against Mallinckrodt plc to enforce this Agreement that it is not permissible under applicable law for Mallinckrodt plc to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

(ii)            In connection with any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration or any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on Mallinckrodt plc.

(iii)            Neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration by Indemnitee that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that the Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall, of itself, be a defense to the action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(iv)            For purposes of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the termination of any claim, action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

(v)            For purposes of any determination of good faith, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of any Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the management of such Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for such Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to such Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by such Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 4(c)(v) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law.

- 7 -

(vi)            The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, officer, agent or employee of any Enterprise shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(vii)            To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mallinckrodt plc shall be precluded from asserting in any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Agreement that the procedures or presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any court or before any arbitrator that Mallinckrodt plc is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

5.            Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing Rights. In addition to Indemnitee’s rights under Section 4(b)(iv), Mallinckrodt plc shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee:

(a)            for indemnification or advance payment of Expenses under any agreement to which Mallinckrodt plc or any of its Affiliates is a party (other than this Agreement) or under applicable law, Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, or the Sucampo Organizational Documents, in each case now or hereafter in effect, relating to indemnification or advance payment of Expenses for Indemnifiable Events, and/or

(b)            for recovery under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by Mallinckrodt plc,

but, in either case, only in the event that Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or expense advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

6.            Notification and Defense of Proceeding.

(a)            Notice. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Mallinckrodt plc under this Agreement, notify Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo will not relieve Mallinckrodt plc from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee, unless, and to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the interests of Mallinckrodt plc or Sucampo.

(b)            Defense. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo of the commencement thereof, Mallinckrodt plc will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense and except as otherwise provided below, to the extent Mallinckrodt plc so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from Mallinckrodt plc to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Proceeding, Mallinckrodt plc shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ legal counsel in such Proceeding, but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from Mallinckrodt plc of its assumption of the defense shall be at Indemnitee’s expense unless: (i) the employment of legal counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by Mallinckrodt plc, (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and Mallinckrodt plc in the defense of the Proceeding, (iii) after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel, or (iv) Mallinckrodt plc shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases all Expenses of the Proceeding shall be borne by Mallinckrodt plc. Mallinckrodt plc shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding (x) brought by or on behalf of Mallinckrodt plc or Sucampo, (y) as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in clause (ii) of this Section 6(b) or (z) after a Change in Control (it being specified, for the avoidance of doubt, that Mallinckrodt plc may assume defense of any such Proceeding described in this sentence with Indemnitee’s consent, provided that any such consent shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b)).

- 8 -

(c)            Settlement of Claims. Mallinckrodt plc shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without Mallinckrodt plc’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, Mallinckrodt plc shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. Mallinckrodt plc shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any liability, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Mallinckrodt plc’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if assumption of the defense of the Proceeding by Mallinckrodt plc was barred by this Agreement.

7.            Establishment of Trust. In the event of a Change in Control, Mallinckrodt plc shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee (the “Trust”) and from time to time upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request (a) to be incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, participating in, and/or defending any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event and (b) to be indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by the Independent Counsel. The terms of the Trust shall provide that (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (ii) the Trust shall continue to be funded by Mallinckrodt plc in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above, (iii) the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) all unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to Mallinckrodt plc upon a final determination by the Independent Counsel or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that the Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”) shall be chosen by the Indemnitee. Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve Mallinckrodt plc of any of its obligations under this Agreement. All income earned on the assets held in the Trust shall be reported as income by Mallinckrodt plc for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes. Mallinckrodt plc shall pay all costs of establishing and maintaining the Trust and shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the establishment and maintenance of the Trust.

- 9 -

8.            Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the Sucampo Organizational Documents, the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement, applicable law or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his capacity as an officer or director prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the Sucampo Organizational Documents, the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement, applicable law or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right.

9.            Liability Insurance. For so long as Indemnitee has indemnification rights hereunder or under the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement, Mallinckrodt plc shall maintain or cause to be maintained an insurance policy or policies providing general and/or directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering Indemnitee, in accordance with the terms of such policy or policies, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director, officer, secretary or employee, as applicable, of Mallinckrodt plc, provided and to the extent that such insurance is available on a commercially reasonable basis.

10.            Exclusions. In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Mallinckrodt plc shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement for which payment is expressly prohibited by law (including, with respect to any director or secretary of Mallinckrodt plc, in respect of any liability expressly prohibited from being indemnified pursuant to section 235 of the Irish Companies Act 2014 (as amended, including any successor provisions), but (i) in no way limiting any rights under section 233 or section 234 of the Irish Companies Act 2014 (each as amended from time to time and including any successor provisions), and (ii) to the extent any such limitations or prescriptions are amended or determined by a court of a competent jurisdiction to be void or inapplicable, or relief to the contrary is granted, then the Indemnitee shall receive the greatest rights then available under law.

11.            Continuation of Contractual Indemnity or Period of Limitations. All agreements and obligations of Mallinckrodt plc contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, serving in an Other Enterprise Capacity, and shall continue thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to, or involved in, any Proceeding for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of Mallinckrodt plc or any Affiliate of Mallinckrodt plc against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required by the laws of Ireland under the circumstances. Any claim or cause of action of Mallinckrodt plc or its Affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing and notice of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, the shorter period shall govern.

- 10 -

12.            Enforcement. Mallinckrodt plc expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or secretary and, if applicable, officer or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity, and Mallinckrodt plc acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or, while serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee, in an Other Enterprise Capacity.

13.            Amendment of this Agreement. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless in the form of a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought, and no such waiver shall operate as a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.

14.            Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement to Indemnitee, Mallinckrodt plc shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable Mallinckrodt plc effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

15.            No Duplication of Payments. Mallinckrodt plc shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made by Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the Sucampo Organizational Documents, the Sucampo Indemnification Agreement or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

16.            Obligations of Mallinckrodt plc. In the event a Proceeding results in a judgment in Indemnitee’s favor or otherwise is disposed of in a manner that allows Mallinckrodt plc to indemnify Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding under the Articles of Association of Mallinckrodt plc as then in effect, Mallinckrodt plc will provide such indemnification to Indemnitee and will reimburse Sucampo for any indemnification or Expense Advance previously made by Sucampo in connection with such Proceeding.

Exhibit 10.2

SUCAMPO FORM FOR MALLINCKRODT PLC DIRECTORS/SECRETARY

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of ________, 20__, is made by and between Sucampo Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sucampo”), and ________ (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, Sucampo is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc, a public limited company incorporated in Ireland;

WHEREAS, it is essential to Sucampo and Mallinckrodt plc that Mallinckrodt plc retain and attract as directors and secretary the most capable persons available;

WHEREAS, Sucampo has requested that the Indemnitee serve as a director or secretary of Mallinckrodt plc, and, if requested to do so by Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, each of Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of expensive and time-consuming litigation and other claims currently being asserted against directors and officers of companies;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for Sucampo contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;

WHEREAS, due to restrictions imposed by Irish law, the Articles of Association of Mallinckrodt plc do not confer indemnification and advancement rights on its directors and secretary as broad as the indemnification and advancement rights that are customarily provided to the directors and secretary of a company organized under the laws of a U.S. state;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity on the condition that the Indemnitee be indemnified as provided herein;

WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (i) substantial protection against personal liability, and (ii) specific contractual assurance that such protection will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of Sucampo (as in effect from time to time, collectively, the “Sucampo Organizational Documents”) or any change in the composition of Mallinckrodt plc’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to Mallinckrodt plc), Sucampo wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification by Sucampo of and the advancing by Sucampo of expenses to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and of Indemnitee serving or continuing to serve Mallinckrodt plc directly or, at the request of Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1.            Certain Definitions.

(a)            Affiliate: any corporation or other person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified.

(b)            Board: the Board of Directors of Mallinckrodt plc.

(c)            Change in Control: shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i)            any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 3(a)(9) and 13(d) of the Exchange Act, becomes a “beneficial owner,” as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, of 50% or more of the Voting Shares (as defined below) of Mallinckrodt plc;

(ii)            the majority of the Board consists of individuals other than Incumbent Directors, which term means the members of the Board as of the date hereof, provided that any person becoming a director after the date hereof whose election or nomination for election was supported by at least three-quarters of the directors who immediately prior to such election or nomination for election comprised the Incumbent Directors shall be considered to be an Incumbent Director;

(iii)            Mallinckrodt plc adopts any plan of liquidation providing for the distribution of all or substantially all of its assets;

(iv)            all or substantially all of the assets or business of Mallinckrodt plc is disposed of pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other transaction (unless the shareholders of Mallinckrodt plc immediately prior to such a merger, consolidation or other transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportion as they owned the Voting Shares of Mallinckrodt plc immediately prior to such transaction, all of the Voting Shares or other ownership interests of the entity or entities, if any, that acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or succeed to the business of, Mallinckrodt plc as a result of such transaction); or

(v)            Mallinckrodt plc combines with another entity and is the surviving entity but, immediately after the combination, the shareholders of Mallinckrodt plc immediately prior to the combination hold, directly or indirectly, 50% or less of the Voting Shares of the combined entity (there being excluded from the number of shares held by such shareholders, but not from the Voting Shares of the combined entity, any shares received by Affiliates of such other entity in exchange for shares of such other entity),

- 2 -

 

provided, however, that any occurrence that would, in the absence of this proviso, otherwise constitute a Change in Control pursuant to any of clause (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 1(c), shall not constitute a Change in Control if such occurrence is approved in advance by a majority of the directors on the Board.

(d)            Enterprise: Mallinckrodt plc and any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc as a director, officer, secretary, trustee, general partner, managing member, fiduciary, board of directors’ committee member, employee or agent.

(h)            Independent Counsel: the meaning specified in Section 3.

(j)            Reviewing Party: the meaning specified in Section 3.

(k)            Voting Shares: shares of any class or classes having general voting power under ordinary circumstances, in the absence of contingencies, to elect the directors (or similar function) of an Enterprise.

2.            Agreement to Indemnify.

(a)            General Agreement. In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Proceeding in whole or in part by reason of (or arising in whole or in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, Sucampo shall indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or interpreted (but in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits Sucampo to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior thereto). The parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall provide for indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the separate deed of indemnification which Indemnitee has with Mallinckrodt plc, the Sucampo Organizational Documents or applicable law.

(b)            Initiation of Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries or any director, officer, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries unless (i) Mallinckrodt plc has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; (ii) the Proceeding is one to enforce indemnification rights under Section 4; or (iii) the Proceeding is instituted after a Change in Control and Independent Counsel has approved its initiation.

(c)            Expense Advances. If so requested by Indemnitee, Sucampo shall advance (within five business days of such request) any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (an “Expense Advance”); provided that, (i) such Expense Advance shall be made only upon delivery to Sucampo of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount thereof if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses, (ii) Sucampo shall not (unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine otherwise) be required to make an Expense Advance if and to the extent that the Reviewing Party (as defined below) has determined that Indemnitee is not permitted to be indemnified by Sucampo under applicable law, and (iii) if and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines after payment of one or more Expense Advances that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified by Sucampo under applicable law, Sucampo shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse Sucampo) for all such amounts theretofore paid. If Indemnitee has commenced or commences any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction or commences arbitration to secure a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or Expense Advance, as provided in Section 4, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified by Sucampo under applicable law shall not be binding, and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse Sucampo for any Expense Advance until a final determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or have lapsed). Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse Sucampo for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

- 4 -

 

(d)            Mandatory Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by Sucampo hereunder against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(e)            Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by Sucampo for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, Sucampo shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled, including, but not limited to successfully resolved claims in any Proceeding.

(f)            Prohibited Indemnification. No indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Sucampo:

(i)            on account of any Proceeding in which a final and non-appealable judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of Mallinckrodt plc pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws;

(ii)            if a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment shall determine that such indemnification by Sucampo is not permitted under applicable law;

(iii)            on account of any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event as to which the Indemnitee has been convicted of a crime constituting a felony under the laws of the jurisdiction where the criminal action had been brought (or, where a jurisdiction does not classify any crime as a felony, a crime for which Indemnitee is sentenced to death or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year); or

(iv)            on account of any Proceeding brought by Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries against Indemnitee.

3.            Reviewing Party; Exhaustion of Remedies.

(a)            Prior to any Change in Control, the reviewing party (the “Reviewing Party”) shall be any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Board or any other person or body appointed by the Board who is not a party to the particular Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification; after a Change in Control, the Independent Counsel referred to below shall become the Reviewing Party. With respect to all matters arising after a Change in Control concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement, the separate deed of indemnification which Indemnitee has with Mallinckrodt plc or any other agreement to which Mallinckrodt plc or any of its Affiliates is a party, Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the Sucampo Organizational Documents or applicable law, in each case as now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo shall seek legal advice only from independent counsel (“Independent Counsel”) selected by Indemnitee and approved by Mallinckrodt plc (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and who has not otherwise performed services for Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo or the Indemnitee (other than in connection with indemnification matters) within the five years prior to such appointment. The Independent Counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo or Indemnitee in an action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee should be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. In doing so, the Independent Counsel may consult with (and rely upon) counsel in any appropriate jurisdiction who would qualify as Independent Counsel (“Local Counsel”). Sucampo agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel and the Local Counsel and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the engagement of Independent Counsel or the Local Counsel pursuant hereto.

- 5 -

 

(b)            Prior to making written demand on Sucampo for indemnification pursuant to Section 4(a) or making a request for Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(c), Indemnitee shall (i) seek such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, under any applicable insurance policy of Mallinckrodt plc or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) request that Mallinckrodt plc consider in its discretion whether to make such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable. Upon any such request by Indemnitee of Mallinckrodt plc, Mallinckrodt plc shall consider whether to make such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, based on the facts and circumstances related to the request. Mallinckrodt plc may require, as a condition to making any indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, that Indemnitee enter into an agreement providing for such indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, to be made subject to substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to an indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, by Sucampo hereunder (including, without limitation, conditioning any Expense Advance upon delivery to Mallinckrodt plc of an undertaking of the type described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 2(c)). In the event indemnification or Expense Advance, as applicable, is not received pursuant to such an insurance policy, or from Mallinckrodt plc, within five business days of the later of Indemnitee’s request of the applicable insurer and Indemnitee’s request of Mallinckrodt plc as provided in the first sentence of this Section 3(b), Indemnitee may make written demand on Sucampo for indemnification pursuant to Section 4(a) or make a request for Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(c), as applicable.

4.            Indemnification Process and Appeal.

(a)            Indemnification Payment. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification of Expenses, and shall receive payment thereof, from Sucampo in accordance with this Agreement as soon as practicable after Indemnitee has made written demand on Sucampo for indemnification, unless the Reviewing Party has given a written opinion to Sucampo that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law.

- 6 -

 

(b)            Adjudication or Arbitration. (i)  Regardless of any action by the Reviewing Party, if Indemnitee has not received in full the requested indemnification or Expense Advance within thirty days after making a demand or request in accordance with Section 4(a) or Section 2(c), as applicable (a “Nonpayment”), Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its rights thereto under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware (a “Delaware Court”) having subject matter jurisdiction thereof seeking an initial determination by the court or by challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by Indemnitee in any such litigation shall be binding on Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee. The remedy provided for in this Section 4 shall be in addition to any other remedies available to Indemnitee at law or in equity. Mallinckrodt plc, Sucampo and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (A) consent to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of all Delaware Courts for purposes of any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (B) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration in any Delaware Court, and (C) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration brought in any Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any right Indemnitee may have under applicable law to bring any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration in any other court.

(ii)            Alternatively, in the case of a Nonpayment, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

(iii)            In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(a) or 2(c) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or Expense Advance, any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 4(b), Sucampo shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. If Indemnitee an action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 4(b), Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse Sucampo for any advances pursuant to Section 2(c) until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed).

(iv)            In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 4(b), seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, and it is determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive all or any part of the indemnification or advancement of Expenses sought, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from Sucampo, and shall be indemnified by Sucampo against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration.

- 7 -

 

(c)            Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions. (i)  It shall be a defense to any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration brought by Indemnitee against Sucampo to enforce this Agreement that it is not permissible under applicable law for Sucampo to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

(ii)            In connection with any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration or any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on Sucampo.

(iii)            Neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration by Indemnitee that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper under the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that the Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall, of itself, be a defense to the action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(iv)            For purposes of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the termination of any claim, action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

(v)            For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of any Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the management of such Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for such Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to such Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by such Enterprise. The provisions of this Section 4(c)(v) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed or found to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law.

(vi)            The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, officer, agent or employee of any Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any right to indemnification under this Agreement.

(vii)            Sucampo shall be precluded from asserting in any action, suit, litigation, proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Agreement that the procedures or presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any court or before any arbitrator that Sucampo is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

5.            Indemnification for Expenses Incurred in Enforcing Rights. In addition to Indemnitee’s rights under Section 4(b)(iv), Sucampo shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee:

(a)            for indemnification or advance payment of Expenses under any agreement to which Sucampo or any of its Affiliates is a party (other than this Agreement) or under applicable law, Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, or the Sucampo Organizational Documents, in each case now or hereafter in effect, relating to indemnification or advance payment of Expenses for Indemnifiable Events, and/or

(b)            for recovery under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by Mallinckrodt plc,

but, in either case, only in the event that Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or expense advance or insurance recovery, as the case may be. In addition, Sucampo shall, if so requested by Indemnitee, advance the foregoing Expenses and any Expenses incurred in any Proceeding brought pursuant to Section 4 to Indemnitee, subject to and in accordance with Section 2(c).

6.            Notification and Defense of Proceeding.

(a)            Notice. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Sucampo under this Agreement, notify Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo will not relieve Sucampo from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee, unless, and to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the interests of Mallinckrodt plc or Sucampo.

(b)            Defense. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Indemnitee notifies Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo of the commencement thereof, Sucampo will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense and except as otherwise provided below, to the extent Sucampo so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from Sucampo to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Proceeding, Sucampo shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Proceeding other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ legal counsel in such Proceeding, but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from Sucampo of its assumption of the defense shall be at Indemnitee’s expense unless: (i) the employment of legal counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by Sucampo, (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and Sucampo in the defense of the Proceeding, (iii) after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel, or (iv) Sucampo shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, in each of which cases all Expenses of the Proceeding shall be borne by Sucampo. Sucampo shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding (x) brought by or on behalf of Mallinckrodt plc or Sucampo, (y) as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in clause (ii) of this Section 6(b) or (z) after a Change in Control (it being specified, for the avoidance of doubt, that Sucampo may assume defense of any such Proceeding described in this sentence with Indemnitee’s consent, provided that any such consent shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b)).

(c)            Settlement of Claims. Sucampo shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without Sucampo’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, Sucampo shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. Sucampo shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any liability, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Sucampo’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if assumption of the defense of the Proceeding by Sucampo was barred by this Agreement.

7.            Establishment of Trust. In the event of a Change in Control, Sucampo shall, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee (the “Trust”) and from time to time upon written request of Indemnitee shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request (a) to be incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, participating in, and/or defending any Proceeding relating to an Indemnifiable Event and (b) to be indemnifiable pursuant to this Agreement. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by the Independent Counsel. The terms of the Trust shall provide that (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (ii) the Trustee (as defined below) shall advance, within five business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to the Indemnitee on the same terms and conditions as provided in Section 2(c) (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the same circumstances for which the Indemnitee would be required to reimburse Sucampo under Section 2(c)), (iii) the Trust shall continue to be funded by Sucampo in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above, (iv) the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) all unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to Sucampo upon a final determination by the Independent Counsel or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that the Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”) shall be chosen by the Indemnitee. Nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve Sucampo of any of its obligations under this Agreement. All income earned on the assets held in the Trust shall be reported as income by Sucampo for federal, state, local, and foreign tax purposes. Sucampo shall pay all costs of establishing and maintaining the Trust and shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, loss, and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the establishment and maintenance of the Trust.

8.            Non-Exclusivity.

No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his capacity as an officer or director prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the separate deed of indemnification which Indemnitee has with Mallinckrodt plc, the Sucampo Organizational Documents, applicable law or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right.

- 10 -

 

9.            Continuation of Contractual Indemnity or Period of Limitations. All agreements and obligations of Sucampo contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, serving in an Other Enterprise Capacity, and shall continue thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to, or involved in, any Proceeding for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Proceeding shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of Sucampo or any Affiliate of Sucampo against Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required by the laws of Delaware under the circumstances. Any claim or cause of action of Sucampo or its Affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing and notice of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, the shorter period shall govern.

10.            Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever (other than pursuant to the terms hereof), Sucampo, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim, including, without limitation, claims for contribution that may be brought against Indemnitee by directors, officers, employees or agents of Mallinckrodt plc (other than Indemnitee) who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee, relating to an Indemnifiable Event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo, on one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of Mallinckrodt plc and Sucampo (and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents), on one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

11.            Enforcement. Sucampo expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or secretary and, if applicable, officer or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or, at the request of Sucampo, Mallinckrodt plc or a direct or indirect subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc while serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity, and Sucampo acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc or while serving as an officer, director, secretary or employee of Mallinckrodt plc, in an Other Enterprise Capacity.

14.            No Duplication of Payments. Sucampo shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any claim made by Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment (under any insurance policy, Mallinckrodt plc’s Articles of Association, the separate deed of indemnification which Indemnitee has with Mallinckrodt plc, the Sucampo Organizational Documents or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

15.            Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Sucampo), assigns, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. Sucampo shall require and cause any successor thereof (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of Sucampo, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Sucampo would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity pertaining to an Indemnifiable Event even though he or she may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any Proceeding or is deceased and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and assigns of such a person.

16.            Severability.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Mallinckrodt, Endo Complete Merger to Create Global, Scaled, Diversified Therapeutics Leader

 

Highly Complementary Companies to Advance Therapies to Address Unmet Patient Needs

 

Respective Generics Businesses and Endo’s Sterile Injectables Business to be Combined and Spun Off as an Independent Company with Target Date in the Fourth Quarter of 2025

 

New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Listing of Branded Company Following Spin-off

 

DUBLIN, Aug. 1, 2025 – /PRNewswire/ – Mallinckrodt plc and Endo, Inc. today announced that they have completed their merger to create a global, scaled, diversified therapeutics leader.

 

“We are excited to pursue a promising new future for all the stakeholders of Mallinckrodt and Endo,” said Siggi Olafsson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. “We commend the employees of both companies for the extraordinary effort required to achieve this milestone. Today we bring together two highly complementary companies with durable, on-market products in our branded portfolio and best-in-class capabilities across the value chain in our generics and sterile injectables business, which we call Par Health. We have a strong balance sheet and meaningful financial flexibility to invest in innovation and business development to drive growth. As a company deeply committed to operating with integrity and purpose, we are focused on delivering significant value to shareholders and employees for the ultimate benefit of the patients we serve.”

 

Well-Positioned for Sustainable Growth

 

The combined company is well-positioned to continue growing its brands portfolio across a wide range of therapeutic areas of significant unmet need, including endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology, neonatal respiratory critical care, nephrology, neurology, pulmonology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, rheumatology, and urology.

 

In addition, the generics and sterile injectables business features a broad product portfolio, a leading controlled substances franchise, robust commercial and manufacturing infrastructure in the U.S. and internationally, extensive supply chain capabilities, and expertise in complex, highly regulated products. This business operates under the Par Health name and is intended to be spun off as an independent company with a target date of the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to approval by Mallinckrodt’s Board of Directors and other conditions.

 

The combined company is expected to generate at least $150 million of annual pre-tax run-rate operating synergies by Year 3, and approximately $75 million of pre-tax run rate synergies in the first 12 months post-merger, driven by business function integration and R&D savings from economies of scale, among other areas.

 

Following the spin-off of Par Health, the branded therapeutics company is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), subject to approval of Mallinckrodt’s Board of Directors.

 

Financial Terms

 

Under the terms of the agreement, which was announced on March 13, 2025, Endo shareholders received a total of $100 million in cash and own 49.9% of Mallinckrodt on a pro forma basis. Mallinckrodt’s pre-transaction shareholders own 50.1% of Mallinckrodt. The aggregate cash amount to Endo shareholders was increased from $80 million to $100 million to compensate for a reduction in the exchange ratio that was triggered to ensure that Mallinckrodt’s pre-transaction shareholders own 50.1% of Mallinckrodt post-closing. On a per share basis, Endo shareholders are entitled to receive approximately $1.31 in cash and 0.2575 of Mallinckrodt shares. Endo shares have ceased trading on the OTCQX.

 

In addition, a subsidiary of Mallinckrodt that will operate the generics and sterile injectables business incurred a $1.35 billion secured credit facility, consisting of a $150 million revolving credit facility and a $1.2 billion term loan credit facility. Proceeds from the facility were used to pay off Mallinckrodt’s senior secured term loans and redeem Mallinckrodt’s senior secured notes concurrently with the completion of the business combination. The remaining proceeds were or will be used to finance the transaction and transaction costs or for general corporate purposes. Endo’s debt remains outstanding.

Endo reports its results on a calendar year basis. The income statement information for the respective periods are combined within the Pro Forma Financial Information above, given the difference in the fiscal period end of Mallinckrodt and Endo. 2 The supplemental financial information contains Adjusted EBITDA, which is considered a “Non-GAAP” financial measure under the applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, together with the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management strongly encourages readers to review Mallinckrodt's and Endo's audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. 3 Endo, Inc.'s four historical reportable business segments are Branded Pharmaceuticals, Sterile Injectables, Generic Pharmaceuticals and International Pharmaceuticals. Within this exhibit, references to "GxSI Combined" represent the combined activity for Endo, Inc.'s Sterile Injectables and Generic Pharmaceuticals segments. There are no intersegment transactions requiring elimination. 4 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA includes approximately $35 million and approximately $9 million of annual and quarterly dissynergies, respectively, as well as certain adjustments to legal expenses in the historical periods presented. 5 As disclosed in Mallinckrodt's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 28, 2025 (Successor), management measures and evaluates Mallinckrodt's operating segments based on segment net sales and operating income. Certain amounts that management considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from segment operating income because the chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the segments excluding such items. These items may include, but are not limited to corporate and unallocated expenses, combination, integration, and other related costs, and liabilities management and separation costs. Although these amounts are excluded from segment operating income, as applicable, they are included in reported consolidated operating loss and are reflected in the reconciliations presented above. Management believes that the segment operating income is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure for the segment Adjusted EBITDA. 6 Represents the allocation of additional operating costs attributable to the Specialty Generics business in each period. 7 Represents capital expenditures and working capital amounts attributable to the Specialty Generics business in each period derived from consolidated amounts. 8 As disclosed in Endo’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Successor), management measures and evaluates Endo's operating segments based on segment adjusted income (loss) from operations before income tax. Certain amounts that management considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from segment adjusted income (loss) from operations before income tax because the chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the segments excluding such items. These items may include, but are not limited to acquired in-process research and development charges; acquisition-related and integration items, including transaction costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; cost reduction and integration-related initiatives such as separation benefits, continuity payments, other exit costs and certain costs associated with integrating an acquired company’s operations; certain amounts related to strategic review initiatives; asset impairment charges; amortization of intangible assets; inventory step-up recorded as part of our acquisitions; litigation-related and other contingent matters; certain legal costs; gains or losses from early termination of debt; debt modification costs; gains or losses from the sales of businesses and other assets; foreign currency gains or losses on intercompany financing arrangements; reorganization items, net (in the Predecessor periods); and certain other items. Although these amounts are excluded from segment adjusted income (loss) from operations before income tax, as applicable, they are included in reported consolidated operating loss and are reflected in the reconciliations presented above. Management believes that the segment operating income is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure for the segment Adjusted EBITDA. 9 As required by GAAP, due to the application of Fresh Start Accounting by both Mallinckrodt and Endo, activity for must be presented separately for the predecessor period prior to the application of Fresh Start Accounting (the “Predecessor” period) and the successor period following the application of Fresh Start Accounting (the “Successor” period). However, to facilitate the accumulation of the reconciliation above, results for Predecessor and Successor periods have been combined and reflected as non-GAAP measures (“combined” results).

Standalone and synergies Diligence adjusted gross profit Diligence adjusted net sales Diligence EBITDA $(35.0)m $728.5m $1,672.0m $509.8m TTMMar25 net standalone costs and synergies In TTMMar25 In TTMMar25 In TTMMar25 Management’s estimate of standalone costs and identified synergies are $ 57 . 7 m and $ 22 . 7 m, respectively in TTMMar 25 (net $ 35 . 0 m) . Management utilized a bottom’s up build by function to identify incremental costs required to operate the Combined Business on a standalone basis . The majority of the standalone costs are attributed to incremental costs identified for the IT ( $ 18 . 8 m), finance ( $ 12 . 1 m), facilities ( $ 7 . 6 m), and legal functions ( $ 5 . 8 m) . The majority of cost savings identified are in the R&D ( $ 7 . 0 m), commercial ( $ 5 . 7 m), legal ( $ 3 . 9 m), and finance ( $ 3 . 1 m) functions . The analysis consisted of reconciling Management’s SAC model Direct PL starting point and discussing and understanding key assumptions used to develop the model . Gross profit decreased $ 137 . 4 m ( 15 . 9 % ) from $ 865 . 9 m in FY 23 to $ 728 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 , primarily driven by decreases in net sales . Gross margin decreased by 4 . 0 ppts from 47 . 6 % in FY 23 to 43 . 6 % in TTMMar 25 . Gross margin decreased due to a 12 . 3 ppts margin decrease in the Endo GxSI product portfolio from 51 . 5 % in FY 23 to 39 . 2 % in TTMMar 25 due to (i) lower absorption of fixed costs as production volumes decreased and (ii) increased CMO production costs and higher API unit costs as a result of shift in product mix . The decrease in gross profit and gross margin from Endo GxSI products was offset by a 5 . 0 ppts increase in MNK SGx due to (i) net sales price increases and (ii) a shift to a more favorable product mix through the Historical Period . Sales of higher margin generic products increased while the lower margin APAP product sales decreased . Diligence adjusted net sales decreased $ 147 . 4 m ( 8 . 1 % ) over the Historical Period from $ 1 , 819 . 4 m in FY 23 to $ 1 , 672 . 0 m in TTMMar 25 . Decreases in adjusted net sales were primarily driven by decreases in (i) other generics products (Endo Gx) of $ 203 . 3 m ( 28 . 0 % ), specifically Varenicline and Dexlansoprazole, due to heightened competition and pricing pressure, (ii) sterile injectables of $ 62 . 7 m ( 15 . 8 % ) due to loss of exclusivity for Vasostrict and (iii) APAP product sales of $ 62 . 8 m ( 28 . 2 % ) due to decreased sales volume. Increase in other product categories partially offset these decreases, including (i) a $ 98 . 0 m ( 37 . 9 % ) increase in the opioid product group as a result of net selling price increases and (ii) a $ 73 . 6 m ( 67 . 8 % ) increase in the ADHD product group due to the launch of Gx Vyvanse ( $ 37 . 7 m) and increased sales volume ( $ 13 . 2 m volume impact) of Gx Adderall XR and backup sales (sold at a higher price) of Gx Adderall XR ( $ 13 . 0 m price impact) . Diligence EBITDA decreased by $ 149 . 4 m ( 22 . 7 % ) over the Historical period from $ 659 . 2 m in FY 23 to $ 509 . 8 m in TTMMar 25 . This decrease was primarily driven by decreasing revenue and margin in the sterile injectables and other generics portfolio of Endo GxSI, ( $ 231 . 2 m, 52 . 3 % ) as a result of loss of exclusivity, heightened competition and increasing manufacturing costs as volumes decreased . While MNK SGx EBITDA increased ( $ 81 . 8 m, 37 . 7 % ) due to favorable pricing on certain products, increased backup sales across the generic product portfolio, and the introduction of Gx Vyvanse in Aug 23 . Diligence EBITDA reflects Management and diligence adjustments . In TTM 25 the largest adjustments (i) remove impairment and non - cash items ( $ 239 . 9 m), (ii) exclude intercompany transactions, inclusive of corporate allocations ( $ 42 . 4 m), and reflect (iii) the pro forma impact of new facility ramps and certain product disruption ( $ 22 . 7 m) . See Standalone cost and synergies See Recast income statement See Recast income statement See Quality of earnings Diligence EBITDA decreased by $149.4m (22.7%) across Historical Period from $659.2m in FY23 to $509.8m in TTMMar25.

Key considerations SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix In March 2025 MNK and Endo announced a merger to form a Combined company, with the transaction planned to close in the second half of 2025 . Concurrently it was announced MNK SGx and Endo GxSI, intend to be separated to form a new company named Par Health . Par Health will operate as a business of the merged company until a later disposal . This Report presents the earnings of the Combined Business, (MNK SGx and Endo GxSI) referred to throughout as Par Health or the Combined Business . This summary of findings section of the report discusses the analysis of the Combined Business . In the following sections, detailed analysis of Par Health’s financial performance is primarily presented separately for each of MNK SGx and Endo GxSI as analysis was performed while the companies were operating separately prior to the close of the proposed merger . Decrease in Diligence EBITDA is primarily driven by a $147.4m (8.1%) decrease in net sales from $1,819.4m in FY23 to $1,672.0m in TTMMar25. Refer to the subsequent slide for further discussion of revenue trends and drivers. Diligence EBITDA reflects (i) definitional EBITDA adjustments, (ii) Management adjustments proposed by MNK SGx and Endo GxSI Management respectively, and (iii) diligence adjustments identified during the course of diligence. ▪ Management EBITDA : Represents adjustments identified by the respective Management teams of MNK SGx and Endo GxSI . Adjustments primarily reflect the removal of (i) intangible asset impairment and non - cash items ( $ 239 . 9 m in TTMMar 25 ), (ii) intercompany activity inclusive of corporate allocations ( $ 42 . 4 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iii) bankruptcy related items ( $ 8 . 9 m in TTMMar 25 ), and (v) other items that are non - recurring in nature ( $ 2 . 8 m in TTMMar 25 ) . ▪ Diligence EBITDA : Reflects additional adjustments identified throughout the diligence process, including (i) pro forma adjustments associated with facility ramp up and certain product sales and supply disruption ( $ 22 . 7 m in TTMMar 25 ), (ii) out - of - period / accounting adjustments (reduction of $ 6 . 9 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iii) one - time / non - recurring items ( $ 4 . 8 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iv) carve - out adjustments to align with the carve out financial statements and remove cross - charges and allocations for certain functions between the generics businesses perimeter and other excluded segments (reduction of $ 2 . 2 m in TTMMar 25 ), and (v) non - core / non - operational items (reduction of $ 3 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 ) . Standalone EBITDA reflects the impact of Management’s assessment of (i) standalone costs ( $ 57 . 7 m in TTMMar 25 ) and (ii) synergies ( $ 22 . 7 m in TTMMar 25 ) . These adjustments are only calculated for TTMMar 25 . Details of individual adjustments for the MNK SGx and Endo GxSI businesses, as well as a summary of standalone costs and synergies, are presented in the Quality of earnings section of the report . $509.8m TTMMar25 Diligence EBITDA Diligence EBITDA decreased by $149.4m (22.7%) from $659.2m in FY23 to $509.8m in TTMMar25.

Other MNK SGx 13.9 $1,672.0m TTMMar25 adjusted net sales Adjusted net sales decreased $147.4m (8.1%) from $1,819.4m in FY23 to $1,672.0m in TTMMar25. TTMMar25 adjusted net sales by type The overall decrease in net sales from FY23 to TTMMar25 was mainly driven by: ▪ $ 203 . 3 m ( 28 . 0 % ) decrease in other generic pharmaceutical products primarily driven by a $ 217 . 2 m decrease ( 33 . 4 % ) in Endo generics pharmaceuticals specifically related to sales of Varenicline (Endo GxSI) and Dexlansoprazole (Endo GxSI) products, which decreased by $ 146 . 8 m ( 89 . 1 % ) and $ 48 . 2 m ( 42 . 1 % ), respectively, over the Historical Period, as well as decreases across other generics products due to increased pricing pressure from market competitors . Decreases in sales of other generics are primarily offset by (i) a $ 66 . 6 m ( 84 . 8 % ) increase in Lidoderm (Endo GxSI) due to a competitor exiting the market and (ii) a $ 13 . 9 m ( 18 . 6 % ) increase in other MNK generic pharmaceutical products due to price increases over the Historical Period . ▪ $ 62 . 7 m ( 15 . 8 % ) decrease in sterile injectables primarily driven by a decrease in Vasostrict (Endo GxSI) sales of $ 43 . 5 m ( 45 . 6 % ) following a loss exclusivity in 1 Q 22 and decrease in net selling price . ▪ $ 62 . 8 m ( 28 . 2 % ) decrease in APAP (MNK SGx) product sales related to an overall decrease in units sold and a price reduction for APAP Customer 1 (with this customer representing $ 65 . 7 m and $ 36 . 5 m of net sales in FY 23 and TTMMar 25 , respectively) . The decrease in net sales is partially offset by: ▪ $98.0m (37.9%) increase in opioid (MNK SGx) product family sales group as a result of favorable pricing beginning in 1H24. ▪ $73.6m (67.8%) increase in ADHD (MNK SGx) treatment medication sales due to the launch of Gx Vyvanse in Aug23 and higher sales volume plus backup sales of Gx Adderall XR. ▪ $9.8m (9.2%) increase in API (MNK SGx) driven by a higher volume in API sales.

Key considerations Gross margin : Decreased 4 . 0 ppts from 47 . 6 % in FY 23 to 43 . 6 % in TTMMar 25 primarily driven by : ▪ A 12 . 3 % decrease in Endo GxSI gross margin resulting from (i) pricing pressure due to increased generics market competition, (ii) increased production costs at CMOs for certain products, and (iii) overall decrease in manufacturing volume . ▪ The decrease in Endo GxSI gross margin was partially offset by a 5 . 0 % increase in gross margin for MNK SGx as net sales increases outpaced cost of sales due to (i) favorable pricing, and (ii) favorable product mix with higher margins of Gx Vyvanse in recent periods . Gross profit decreased $ 137 . 4 m ( 15 . 9 % ) from $ 865 . 9 m in FY 23 to $ 728 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 principally due to decreased sales and increased per unit production costs for Endo GxSI noted above . 43.6% TTMMar25 adjusted gross margin Gross margin decreased from 47.6% in FY23 to 43.6% in TTMMar25. Adjusted EBITDA margin : Decreased 5.7 ppts from 36.2% in FY23 to 30.5% in TTMMar25 primarily due to: ▪ The decrease in net sales and gross margin discussed above, as well as an increase in operating expenses during the same period . ▪ Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales of the Combined Business increased by 1 . 7 ppts from 11 . 4 % in FY 23 to 13 . 1 % in TTMMar 25 driven by the decrease in net sales at Endo GxSI while operating expenses over the same period for the Endo GxSI business remained relatively consistent . ▪ Operating expenses of the Combined Business increased $ 12 . 1 m ( 5 . 8 % ) from $ 206 . 7 m in FY 23 to $ 218 . 7 m in TTMMar 25 primarily due to an increase in legal expense at MNK SGx . Refer to the EBITDA bridge on the following slide for further analysis. 30.5% TTMMar25 adjusted EBITDA margin Adjusted margin decreased from 36.2% in FY23 to 30.5% in TTMMar25.

The overall decrease is primarily attributable to (i) lower sales volume and ASP at Endo GxSI resulting in a $ 189 . 7 m ( 35 . 1 % ) decrease in gross profit, offset by (ii) increased sales volume and ASP at the MNK GSx business resulting in a $ 98 . 0 m ( 30 . 1 % ) increase in gross profit . • 3 Operating expense : The decrease in operating expenses of $ 0 . 6 m ( 0 . 3 % ) from $ 206 . 7 m in FY 23 to $ 206 . 0 m in FY 24 is driven by (i) increased SG&A ( $ 11 . 4 m) attributed to legal fees at MNK SGx, offset by (ii) decreased R&D costs ( $ 12 . 0 m) due to less R&D activities at Endo GxSI . FY24 to TTMMar25 1 3 4 6 ΔGP ($91.7)m • 5 • 4 Sales : The decrease in net sales of $ 33 . 5 m ( 2 . 0 % ) is primary due to a $ 31 . 5 m decrease in net sales of the Endo GxSI product portfolio driven by pricing pressure posed by lower cost generic drug manufacturers . Sales within the MNK SGx product categories remained broadly flat period over period with net sales of $ 905 . 4 m in FY 24 as compared to $ 903 . 4 m in TTMMar 25 . Gross profit : The decrease in gross profit of $ 45 . 7 m ( 5 . 9 % ) results from decreasing sales and higher corresponding cost of sales of $ 12 . 2 m ( 1 . 3 % ) . Higher cost of sales in TTMMar 25 is attributed to (i) increased production costs at CMOs for certain products within the Endo GxSI portfolio . This is partially offset by the decreased cost of sales of $ 5 . 0 m ( 1 . 0 % ) at MNK SGx due to lower generics volumes sold in the Q 125 as compared to Q 124 . • 6 Operating expense : The increase in operating expenses of $ 12 . 7 m ( 6 . 2 % ) from $ 206 . 0 m in FY 24 to $ 218 . 8 m in TTMMar 25 is driven by (i) increased SG&A ( $ 6 . 8 m) associated with increased legal spend for MNK SGx and (ii) increased research and development costs ( $ 5 . 8 m) associated with filing fees for new Endo SI products (Levothyroxine, Phenylephrine and Selenious Acid) .

Key considerations SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix ▪ Diligence adjusted NWC is presented net of (i) definitional adjustments, including cash and cash equivalents and debt items and (ii) directly quantifiable diligence adjustments identifiable in distinct trial balance accounts containing non - operational or non - recurring items . Note the presentation of diligence adjusted net working capital focuses on the material adjustments affecting working capital, specifically in TTMMar 25 . ▪ Mar 25 adjusted NWC of $ 675 . 3 m consists of AR ( $ 483 . 0 m) and inventory ( $ 425 . 6 m), and prepaid expenses ( $ 35 . 4 m), partially offset by AP ( $ 69 . 2 m), payroll related liabilities ( $ 25 . 9 m), and other accrued liabilities including reserves and other accrued expenses ( $ 173 . 6 m) . ▪ Mar 25 diligence adjusted NWC is higher than the TTMMar 25 average due to a decrease in accrued payroll and other current liabilities, primarily attributed to (i) lower bonus accrual at Mar 25 as the annual bonus for both businesses is paid in Q 1 of each year, and (ii) lower accrued royalties driven by less sales in Q 125 . ▪ Key Metrics: ▪ DSO as of Mar 25 ( 59 . 5 days) is slightly higher than the TTMMar 25 average ( 54 . 3 days) primarily due to an increase in DSO at Endo GxSI driven by seasonally lower sales in Q 1 of each year . ▪ DIO as of Mar 25 ( 139 . 2 days) is slightly lower than the TTMMar 25 average ( 143 . 7 days) due to lower inventory as of Mar 25 due to the seasonality of the Endo GxSI business noted above . ▪ DPO as of Mar 25 ( 31 . 8 days) remains relatively consistent with the TTMMar 25 average ( 30 . 1 days) .

The Combined Business has headquarters in Webster Groves, MO, and Malvern, PA, with production facilities located in the US and India. Manufacturing and FTEs The Combined Business is headquartered in Webster Groves, MO and Malvern, PA with a combined 3 , 657 FTEs ( 1 , 604 at MNK SGx and 2 , 053 at Endo GxSI excluding 326 FTEs in the Indore, India facility) as of Mar 25 , of which 2 , 857 FTEs ( 1 , 347 at MNK SGx and 1 , 510 at Endo GxSI) are dedicated manufacturing and related operations, and the remaining 800 FTEs are non - manufacturing . The Combined Business has 8 operational production facilities with two additional planned to be operational by the end of FY 26 (Fenton, MO and Indore, India) . Production facilities located in the United States and India for both businesses are listed in the table on the right : ▪ MNK SGx footprint includes two leased facilities and four owned facilities within the US . Outside the US, products are stored and distributed under contracts with third - party logistics providers . While MNK SGx includes legal entities in Canada, the UK and Netherlands to facilitate overseas sales, (primarily of APIs, APAP, and Stearates) less than 15 % of MNK SGx net sales in the TTM period were made outside of the US, limiting exposure to foreign currency fluctuations . Further, of the entities located outside of the US, only the Canadian entity utilizes a reporting currency other than USD . ▪ Endo GxSI’s manufacturing footprint includes one site in the U . S . and two additional manufacturing sites in India . The India locations manufacture a wide range of products for both generic pharmaceuticals and sterile injections .

Basis of presentation Deal Basis vs. Carve - out financial information Management represented Endo’s reporting segments are identified by profit and cost centers and align with Endo’s internal and external financial reporting segments . The Deal Basis income statements and balance sheets presented in this Report were extracted from Endo’s financial reporting system OneStream with Management and diligence adjustments identified during the diligence process . We reconciled Endo Gx and Endo SI’s adjusted income extracted from OneStream to Endo’s annual reports for FY 23 and FY 24 . Refer to Appendix D : Endo GxSI reconciliation to Auditor’s report for the reconciliation . Deal - basis financial information was prepared for the purpose of providing a representation of the current financial performance of Endo GxSI to be included within the planned Merger . The financial information is grounded in the Endo GxSI segment - level monthly trial balances that includes revenues and expenses that are direct to the Endo GxSI business and based on actual financial details presented throughout the Historical Period . No cost allocations from Endo for shared service support are included in the historical financial results, as such costs are accounted for in a separate ‘corporate’ segment within the consolidated reporting of Endo . Certain functions allocated to/from other Endo segments outside Endo GxSI were redistributed between Endo GxSI and other Endo segment to account for these functions on a full cost basis .

Activity was derived from distinct trial balance accounts and a distinct entity . Fresh start accounting adjustments primarily relate to the fair value inventory step up ( $ 53 . 7 m in TTMMar 25 ) . The step up in inventory to align to fair market value was amortized over each product type’s (i . e . , generics, controlled substances, stearates, APAP) inventory turn .

Pro forma adjustments for Fentanyl Patch disruption further increase EBITDA by $5.8m in TTM25. Diligence adjustments: Pro forma : Adjustments for business disruptions and discontinuations on a pro forma basis are as follows : i. Fentanyl Patch disruption : In the beginning of FY 23 MNK SGx was forced to discontinue the Fentanyl Patch product due to its supplier’s change in materials . MNK SGx purchases the film material used in the patch from 3 M, which was discontinued in FY 23 . The replacement film provided by 3 M required additional testing, FDA review, and FDA approval before the product could be reintroduced to the market . The product reentered the market in the beginning of Q 124 . Additionally, in Q 125 MNK SGx’s co - manufacturer, LTS, failed to apply for quota timely, resulting in the inability to manufacture one of the Fentanyl Patch SKUs . The proposed pro forma adjustment removes the impact of the non - recurring disruption in these two periods and reflects what Management considers typical volume levels (based on 2 H 24 ) . The components of the adjustment are as follows : a. Reintroduction inventory reserve : When the product was reintroduced to the market in Q 124 , Management forecasted to immediately capture a similar market share to the pre - disruption period . Fentanyl Patch sales did not reach the same volumes as the pre - disruption period and Management reserved excess inventory for projected short - dating . As of Q 125 , of the $ 3 . 1 m reserved, $ 0 . 3 m has been released due to increased sales . The release has been considered in the adjustment . b. Product contribution - Product margin impact : Management considers 2 H 24 Fentanyl patch sales volumes typical . As such, the adjustment estimates the margin loss through disruption based on : 2 H 24 sales volume and standard margin for the product set at the beginning of each year . We note the annual run - rate of 2 H 24 volumes broadly aligns to the volume forecast for FY 25 . 5 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx TTMMar25 FY24 FY23 Ref.

Currency: $ m 199.7 172.9 584.4 A Reported EBITDA 298.8 299.1 205.4 B Management EBITDA 5.8 4.4 10.2 5 Pro forma Pro forma adjustments for Fentanyl Patch disruption further increase EBITDA by $5.8m in TTM25. Diligence adjustments: Pro forma (continued): i. Fentanyl Patch disruption continued: c. Product contribution - Opioid NY tax : Adjusts excise tax expense for Fentanyl Patches during the disruption periods to typical levels based on 2 H 24 expense incurred . d. Product contribution - Royalty expense : MNK SGx remits a royalty payment of 5 % of Fentanyl Patch net sales to LTS, quarterly . This adjustment includes the royalty expense for estimated net sales during the disruption period . e. At risk inventory write - off : During the FY 23 disruption period, MNK SGx manufactured Fentanyl Patch batches at risk utilizing two film alternatives . All inventory manufactured that did not meet specifications was written off in Q 223 . This adjustment removes the impact of the write - off from EBITDA . ii. Fenton cost removal : MNK SGx began construction on a new production facility in Apr 24 , which is expected to become operational in the beginning of FY 26 . This adjustment removes the non - operational set - up costs of the facility (e . g . utilities and personnel costs) as the income statement does not include the benefit of the new facility . iii. Fentanyl Lozenge discontinuation : In Mar 24 , MNK SGx discontinued the production and sale of Fentanyl Lozenges due to low profitability . The proposed adjustment removes the inventory reserve associated with the discontinued product ( $ 1 . 1 m in FY 23 ) and the TIRF/REMS program expense associated with the distribution of the product ( $ 0 . 7 m in FY 23 ), on a pro forma basis .

APAP Customer 1 did not receive the favorable pricing in FY 23 due to the delay . On a go - forward basis the favorable pricing would reduce sales by $ 0 . 5 m, therefore sales have been reduced in FY 23 to align with the go - forward . • True - up charges – out - of - period : Throughout the Historical Period Management recorded certain cost pass through true - ups out of period . The adjustment captures the true - up in the period incurred ( $ 0 . 3 m in the TTM period) . vii. Narrow exception impact normalization : MNK SGx requested a narrow exception in 2017 from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which was rejected in Mar 24 . The exception rejection resulted in additional Medicaid rebates of $ 3 . 7 m related to the periods from 1991 through Q 124 which were expensed in Mar 24 at the time of the rejection . The proposed adjustment removes the one - time expense in Mar 24 and reflects the rebates in the periods in which they were incurred . viii. Amitiza Medicaid adjustment : In Apr 24 MNK SGx entered into an agreement with MNK Specialty Brands to distribute Amitiza . At that time, Management estimated Medicaid utilization for Amitiza at 75 % using estimates from its largest customer, Takeda . The estimate was trued up to actual utilization of 37 % in Feb 25 . The proposed adjustment (i) applies the actual utilization to the accrual from Apr 24 and (ii) considers the corresponding increased royalty expense incurred as a result of the utilization adjustment . 7 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 29

Webster Groves real estate taxes paid adj : Adjusts the real estate expense to be presented on an as paid basis, incurred ratably throughout the period . Additionally, this adjustment reverses any out - of - period correction entries made to adjust the accrual to the actual payment . x. FOB destination accrual : Title transfers for most customers of MNK SGx when the product is shipped, however title transfers at receipt for certain international customers . All net sales are initially recorded as FOB shipping point and an accrual is made to reduce net sales at each quarter end for FOB destination point customers . The accrual is reversed in the subsequent quarter and the net sales are recognized . At Dec 22 , Management did not accrue for this timing difference in revenue recognition . The proposed adjustment estimates the net sales that should have been recognized in Q 123 to align with FOB destination terms using the FY 22 quarterly average accrual . The accrual is correctly reflected in Reported financial information in - line with MNK SGx policy for other quarters throughout the Historical Period . xi. Out - of - period inventory reserve release : MNK SGx launched Posaconazole, a new product, in Q 322 . Upon initial launch, sales were lower than forecast which created an inventory reserve for the slow - moving inventory through 2 H 22 . In FY 23 sales improved and the reserve was released . With the benefit of hindsight, this adjustment applies the FY 23 reversal to when the reserve was recorded in FY 22 . 7 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 30

Diligence adjustments: Proforma adjustment : Removes the impact of scaling up SI operations at the Indore production facility during the Historical Period . This adjustment is based on the expectation that, upon the facility's launch, Endo SI will be able to (i) reduce certain existing costs by relocating the production of various products, and (ii) generate additional revenue from newly introduced products . The adjustment aims to align Endo GxSI’s cost structure with the current revenue stream . Indore facility ramp up costs : Endo owns the manufacturing facility in Indore, India . While the Indore facility is currently utilized to manufacture a limited number of Endo Gx products, Endo GxSI has been investing in Indore to house SI manufacturing and plans to move a number of SI production lines from its Rochester facility as well as expanding overall capacity . Endo SI received FDA approval in Dec 24 on the first product to be manufactured at the Indore facility . It is expected that commercial production will begin in 2026 . Endo GxSI has been incurring costs to prepare for SI operations (primarily associated with equipment testing, maintenance and water/media trials on the new production lines) . The ramp up process is expected to continue during 2025 , before the SI manufacturing processes kick off in 2026 . The proposed pro forma adjustment removes the costs directly related to SI production incurred at Indore . Management represented costs removed are directly attributed to the SI production lines that had not been generating revenue in the Historical Period . The table at left presents the direct Indore ramp up costs as they are recorded in the income statement . Personnel costs represent manufacturing personnel costs related to facility set - up, equipment testing and other preparation work . Non - personnel costs within cost of sales represent primarily utilities, machinery maintenance, and other consumables . All costs within cost of sales added back are related to the preparation of the Indore facility to get ready for commercial production . G&A expenses include HR, Finance, IT and other G&A functions . Costs mainly comprise (i) salaries and wages primarily for HR function, (ii) other personnel related expenses (such as costs for uniforms and auto) and (iii) building expenses (such as cleaning and security) . 4 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 37

The adjustment removes settlements, true ups and credits received to align them with the respective periods incurred . i. Dexlan Deerfield partnership true - up : In Q 125 , Management recorded a $ 3 . 7 m royalty credit due from Deerfield regarding the Dexlansoprazole license . A credit was recorded due to the omission of distribution fees in calculating historical gross profits of Dexlansoprazole, which led to higher royalty expenses paid to Deerfield in the Historical Period . Management represented the correction of partnership fees recorded in Q 125 related to FY 23 , FY 24 and prior to FY 23 . We understand the reallocation to the periods incurred is based on royalty statements . ii. Partnership royalty true - up : Prior to the Historical Period, Endo GxSI had been distributing Colchicine and Candesartan products under license agreements with Takeda and Astra Zeneca, respectively . The agreements stipulated royalty payments based on gross profit earned by Endo GxSI upon distribution of these products . Endo GxSI discontinued the distribution of Colchicine and Candesartan in 2022 due to low profitability and negative outlook . Before product discontinuation, decreased sales resulted in negative gross profit for both products and accrual of ‘negative’ royalty in relation to these products during FY 22 – FY 23 . The negative royalty was recognized as a receivable of $ 3 . 6 m as of Nov 23 . Considering these receivables were not subject to recovery, Management wrote off the amounts in Dec 23 . The proposed diligence adjustment removes the impact of the write - off of the royalty receivable as well as the negative royalty expenses recognized during FY 23 . 5 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 38

The proposed adjustment removes GTN charges for discontinued products with no corresponding revenue in the Historical Period . Refer to table at left for a summary of the items adjusted and brief comments below : a. Propranolol has no gross revenue recorded since Oct 23 . The adjustment related to a failure to supply claim raised by Walmart after completion of an audit upon discontinuation of product . The claim is related to prior to FY 23 . b.

The proposed adjustment excludes both initial purchase and subsequent credit for unusable API as non - recurring nature . iii. Varenicline royalty settlement : In FY 23 , several competitors were granted FDA approvals for generic Varenicline tabs, the largest product for Endo Gx at a time .

Diligence adjustments: One - time / non - recurring (continued) : iv. Excess inventory reserve : Endo GxSI reserves for excess inventory based on its sales forecasts by product and inventory expiry by batch to identify product that may not be sold before becoming short dated (< 12 months remaining) . During the Historical Period, many Endo GxSI products encountered competitive pressures that led to a significant decrease in revenue in FY 24 compared to FY 23 , thereby increasing the likelihood that more finished goods would become short dated prior to being sold . Management represented throughout the Historical Period reserves reflected the best estimate based on the latest forecast, however, for certain products in FY 24 , subsequent sales were more favorable than anticipated resulting in unusually high releases of provisions in early FY 24 . The proposed adjustment aims to normalize the level of excess provision in FY 23 and FY 24 by excluding above - normal reserves and releases identified by Management on a product - by - product basis as summarized in the table at left . Further discussion of the product - by product reserve adjustment : a. Net sales for both products decreased in FY 24 as compared to FY 23 from $ 9 . 5 m to $ 4 . 2 m and from $ 1 . 9 m to $ 0 . 6 m for Everolimus and Argatroban respectively resulting in substantial one time reserves booked as of the end of FY 23 as sales of both products decreased considerably . 6 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 42

Endo GxSI experienced a decrease in sales of Posaconazole, with net revenue decreasing from $ 5 . 9 m in FY 23 to $ 3 . 1 m in FY 24 . Endo GxSI could not adjust production levels due to existing purchase commitments with a CMO, which could not be cancelled without incurring penalties . This resulted in significant non - recurring excess reserves being recognized as of the end of FY 23 . Sales for Levothyroxine were originally projected to decrease more sharply than what actually occurred, leading to the release of the provision as of Dec 23 . Due to production issues in FY 23 and FY 24 , two batches of Aplisol were released with significant delays due to additional QA process, resulting in a shorter shelf life than anticipated and consequently causing excess reserves . We understand that Endo GxSI has established a process to rectify these production issues to prevent similar incidents in the future . In Q 423 , Management reserved $ 1 . 5 m for Dutas of which $ 1 . 0 m is related to a significant decrease in demand from CVS . $ 0 . 5 m was associated with a non - recurring production related issue as certain batches were produced earlier than expected hence being dated with a 4 - 5 months shorter period than planned . Zafirlukast had no revenue in the Historical Period . Management wrote off $ 1 . 0 m API with short shelf life in Q 423 as no revenue was forecast for the product in the following 12 months . This item is considered non - recuring as no revenue is expected going forward . Vasostrict relates to one time production issues in FY 22 as a batch was placed on hold for a period resulting in shorter shelf life and hence reserve . In Q 123 Endo GxSI was able to sell through the reserved inventory due to increased market demand and provision has been released .

An ongoing level of problem lot write offs remains in the income statement . a. Nitrosamine related issues in production : Inventory write - off 6 due to revised FDA guidance . In Aug 23 , the FDA issued a revised guidance on nitrosamine intake limits . The revised guidance resulted in Endo GxSI’s products exceeding limits after stress tests conducted internally, which led to significant non - recurring write - offs of nitrosamine . The proposed diligence adjustment excludes from EBITDA the non - recurring write - off of nitrosamine following the updated FDA guidance . b . Vasostrict production issues : Inventory write - off due to production issues . In Q 323 , upon the adoption of a new manufacturing process, a batch of Vasostrict pre - mix bottle was flagged for quality review . The product was written off due to the quality issue stemming from the new manufacturing process . Production of Vasostrict, the third largest Endo SI product, was halted briefly to address the production quality issue . The proposed adjustment reverses the $ 1 . 2 m of products that were written off in conjunction with the non - recurring production issue .

Short - dated inventory reserve : Management represented a batch of Vasostrict was reserved for due to the shorter than normal shelf life . In the subsequent quarter, Endo SI was able to sell through the products reserved for due to higher demand and thus reversed the majority of the reserves made in Q 423 . The proposed diligence adjustment removes the non - recurring impact of the higher reserve in Q 423 and the sell through in the following quarter . vii. Novavax settlement : Prior to the Historical Period, Endo SI entered into an agreement with Novavax to produce Covid - 19 vaccines . Novavax was unable to meet the minimum order volume commitments during the contracted period due to delay of vaccine launch . In Q 223 , a settlement was reached between Endo and Novavax to terminate the agreement and a lump sum compensation was received and recognized as revenue . Management noted minimal costs associated with the Novavax contract were incurred in FY 23 . The proposed adjustment removes the non - recurring settlement amount received from Novavax and the costs associated with the matter (which primarily include legal expenses of $ 4 . 9 m in FY 23 in conjunction with the settlement) considering its non - recurring nature . viii. Vendor contract breach : Removes a true up of third - party development expenses recorded in Q 223 and Q 323 of $ 1 . 4 m and $ 3 . 0 m respectively, which was related to the original accrual made prior to Historical Period . Endo GxSI outsources the development and commercialization of Ephedrine formulations to Curia . As Curia, a former CMO, was unable to maintain production quality, which resulted in a breach of contract . The amounts accrued originally were settled for a fraction of the outstanding balances in FY 23 . Management represented all costs related to the true up were incurred prior to FY 23 . Endo GxSI switched to a different CMO after the contract breach and Management confirmed no material expenses have been incurred in conjunction with the change in vendors . 6 SAC and synergy Endo GxSI Combined MNK SGx Summary of findings Business overview Quality of earnings Recast income statement Working capital Appendix 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 45

This analysis is segregated by generic products and APAP and API . With the exception of returns and other minor deductions, there are no gross to net sales deductions for APAP and API products . Net sales for APAP and API are discussed in further details on the subsequent pages . Generic gross sales increased by $ 256 . 1 m ( 14 . 0 % ) in FY 24 compared to FY 23 and remained broadly flat from FY 24 to TTMMar 25 . The increase from FY 23 to FY 24 was primarily due to favorable price increases in opioid products and higher demand for ADHD medication (including Gx Vyvanse, a product launched in Aug 23 ) . Further details of trending by product category is discussed on a net sales basis . Refer to the following pages for further details . Reductions to gross sales comprise a variety of arrangements with customers and accounted for 75 . 8 % , 70 . 8 % and 69 . 8 % of generics gross sales in FY 23 , FY 24 and TTMMar 25 , respectively . Management accrues for deductions and amounts due to customers at the time of sale based on contracted or estimated rates (as applicable) and volume . Chargebacks, rebates, GPO, distributor and managed care fees represent payments to customers based on contract pricing . Estimates are developed using historical purchase activity by customer by SKU . Management adjusts to true - up accruals on a monthly basis . A description of various reductions to gross sales is as follows : i . Chargebacks : Represent the difference between the price paid by wholesalers, referred to as wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”), and the contract price paid by end customers to the wholesaler . The wholesaler will seek payment for this difference from MNK SGx when sales to end customers occur . The expense is recorded based on an advanced rate estimate using the three - month average purchases at the SKU contract level . Chargebacks were 65 % , 59 . 8 % , and 58 . 4 % of generics gross sales in FY 23 , FY 24 , and TTMMar 25 , respectively . The decrease in chargebacks relative to gross sales was primarily driven by increases in general contract prices . Gross to net reductions 75 . 8 70 . 8 69 . 8 1 – Classification differences between the two business are as follows : (i) Endo GxSI classifies DSA fees within “Rebates” whereas MNK SGx classifies DSA fees in “GPO, distributor & managed care fees”, (ii) managed care rebates are classified in “Rebates” at Endo GxSI whereas MNK SGx classifies these within “GPO, distributor & managed care fees” and (iii) shelf - stock adjustments are included in “Failure to supply fee” at Endo GxSI while MNK SGx records these expenses in “Others” . 2 July 2025 | Par Health Page 53

GPO, distributor & managed care fees ; Represents fees paid for distribution, logistics, administration and inventory management services by MNK SGx to wholesalers, distributors and Group Purchasing Organizations (“GPO”) . The fees increased as a percentage of gross sales throughout the Historical Period due to the customer mix related to Gx Vyvanse sales (fees as a percentage of gross sales were 4 . 5 % , 5 . 3 % and 5 . 1 % in FY 23 , FY 24 , and TTMMar 25 , respectively) . Additionally, Oxycodone - APAP (fees as a percentage of gross sales were 1 . 7 % in FY 23 increasing to 3 . 7 % in TTMMar 25 ) and Hydrocodone - APAP (fees as a percentage of gross sales were 3 . 0 % in FY 23 increasing to 4 . 4 % in TTMMar 25 ) increased throughout the Historical Period due to a mapping change in Q 124 as it relates to the Cardinal Source program from rebates to fees . iv. Rebates : MNK SGx pays various rebates to distributors, wholesalers and retailers on purchases of generics including base rebates (percentage of sales) and retention rebates for significant buyer groups based on retaining primary award position . v. Discounts : MNK SGx typically offers a 2 . 0 % discount for prompt pay, which is accrued for all customers at the time of sale . Higher discount percentages are offered to the larger customers, given the increased volumes sold as compared to other customers . vi. Medicaid : Medicaid is accrued based on Medicaid utilization and updated on the second month of each quarter . Medicaid remained relatively flat over the Historical Period . Returns : Returns are accrued based on 18 - month trending of each product group and updated on a quarterly basis . viii . Others : Includes (i) failure to supply fees, (ii) wholesaler differentials paid to end customers for difference between the price paid by the customer to wholesalers and the contract price with MNK SGx, and (iii) allowance adjustments for WAC changes and shelf stock adjustments . The decrease across the Historical Period is largely driven by a decrease in failure to supply fees incurred ( $ 19 . 2 m in FY 23 to $ 1 . 6 m in TTMMar 25 ) . Competitors began leaving the market in 2022 , leading to increased market share and increased failure to supply fees as MNK SGx absorbed the additional demand . These costs have subsided in FY 24 and TTMMar 25 as Management has worked with customers to reach various agreements to waive or renegotiate FTS for quota related issues . 1 – Classification differences between the two business are as follows : (i) Endo GxSI classifies DSA fees within “Rebates” whereas MNK SGx classifies DSA fees in “GPO, distributor & managed care fees”, (ii) managed care rebates are classified in “Rebates” at Endo GxSI whereas MNK SGx classifies these within “GPO, distributor & managed care fees” and (iii) shelf - stock adjustments are included in “Failure to supply fee” at Endo GxSI while MNK SGx records these expenses in “Others” .

FY23 to FY24 1. Opioids : Increased sales driven by price ( $ 96 . 6 m), partially offset by declining volume ( $ ( 1 . 5 )m) . The price component is primarily driven by price increases, the majority of which were effective Feb 24 , for Hydrocodone - APAP, Oxycodone - APAP, and Oxycodone IR resulting in a $ 37 . 2 m, $ 22 . 9 m, and $ 8 . 8 m increases, respectively . Declining volumes for Fentanyl Patch and Morphine ER are driving the decrease in volume . 2. ADHD : Increased sales driven by price ( $ 7 . 1 m) and volume ( $ 49 . 0 m) . The primary driver of sales growth was the change in volume attributable to (i) increased volumes of Gx Vyvanse sold as product launched in Aug 23 ( $ 39 . 1 m impact) and (ii) higher demand for Gx Adderall XR medication as compared to FY 23 ( $ 9 . 6 m impact) . The price impact of $ 7 . 1 m is driven by (i) increase of Metadate products on average by $ 0 . 25 per dose ( $ 7 . 4 m impact), and (ii) increased price of Gx Adderall XR sold due to backup sales, which are sold at a higher price because they are “ad hoc” sales to customers and not at a contracted rate ( $ 11 . 3 m impact), and (iii) offset by the decrease in sales due to price changes of other products including Gx Vyvanse ( $ ( 5 . 3 )m impact) . 3. APAP : Decreased sales driven by price ( $ ( 3 . 1 )m) and volume ( $ ( 41 . 3 )m) . APAP units sold decreased by 5 . 8 m MT ( 21 . 6 % ) from 26 . 9 m MT in FY 23 to 21 . 1 m MT in FY 24 . APAP Customer 1 and 2 comprise of 32 . 8 % of APAP net sales, both drive the overall volume impact due to the decrease in units sold ( $ ( 22 . 3 )m and $ ( 4 . 2 )m volume impact, respectively) . A price reduction for APAP Customer 1 related to $ ( 3 . 1 )m of the total price impact . 4. API : Increased sales due to price ( $ 2 . 8 m) and volume ( $ 9 . 8 m) . The price impact is attributable to favorable pricing for Nals API, leading to an increase of $ 1 . 6 m . The volume impact is primarily driven by (i) increased demand for Nals API ( $ 11 . 8 m), (ii) higher volumes of Stearates sold as a function of higher demand and low customer inventories ( $ 1 . 3 m), and (iii) offsetting volumes decrease in Methylphenidate ( $ ( 3 . 4 )m) . 5. Others : Other is made up of addiction treatment medications and other generic drugs . Increased sales due to price ( $ 13 . 6 m) resulted from (i) Naltrexone prices increasing by ~ $ 0 . 22 per dose ( $ 11 . 1 m) and (ii) in Apr 24 MNK SGx entered an agreement with MNK Brands to distribute Amitiza ( $ 2 . 8 m) . The volume impact of $ 1 . 6 m is largely attributable to Buprenorphine/Naloxone ( $ 1 . 1 m) .

FY24 to TTMMar25 1. Opioids : Increased sales driven by price ( $ 16 . 3 m), offset by declining volume ( $ ( 13 . 4 )m) . Most of the price component is attributable to the impact of the Feb 24 price increase for Hydrocodone - APAP and Oxycodone - APAP, the combined effects result in an $ 8 . 2 m and $ 7 . 1 m increase, respectively . The volume impact of Hydrocodone - APAP and Codeine - APAP was $ ( 8 . 8 )m and $ ( 3 . 1 )m as compared to FY 24 . Volume decreases are driven by competitive pressures arising from competitors re - entering the market . 2. ADHD : Experienced increased sales of $ 17 . 5 m, comprising of a price impact of $ 5 . 6 m largely relating to favorable price increases on Metadate and Mixed Salts ( $ 1 . 5 m and $ 2 . 2 m increase, respectively) . The volume impact of $ 11 . 9 m is primarily attributable to incremental volume growth for Gx Adderall XR and Gx Vyvanse of $ 4 . 9 m each . 3. APAP : Decreased sales driven by decreases in price ( $ ( 3 . 7 )m) and volume ( $ ( 14 . 7 )m) . While prices for APAP Customer 1 increased as compared to FY 24 ( $ 2 . 4 m price impact), change in prices among other APAP customers resulted in an overall decrease of $ ( 5 . 6 )m in sales . APAP Customer 1 purchased fewer volumes in TTMMar 25 , resulting in a $ ( 5 . 1 )m volume impact . Management notes decreases in volume sold of APAP in the TTMMar 25 period are also due to decreased production at the Raleigh facility . 4. API : Decreased sales driven by volume ( $ ( 3 . 3 )m) and offset slightly by price ( $ 0 . 5 m) . While Stearate sales increased and resulted in a $ 0 . 5 m price impact, a reduction in demand for Nals API in Q 125 is the largest driver of the volume decrease ( $ ( 7 . 8 )m volume impact) . Increases in the volumes sold of Codeine ( $ 1 . 2 m) and Methylphenidate ( $ 1 . 1 m), among other controlled substances and stearate products offset the impact from Nals API, resulting in a net decrease of $ ( 3 . 3 )m due to volume . 5.

The table at left presents operating expenses segregated by personnel and non - personnel on a diligence adjusted basis . Components of personnel expense are as follows : • SG&A salaries and wages : Employees are primarily located at MNK SGx’s headquarters, Webster Groves, with some employees based in the UK (MNK SGx selling entity) . Personnel costs incurred within SG&A slightly increased throughout the Historical Period from $ 21 . 1 m in FY 23 to $ 22 . 6 m in TTMMar 25 . Increases from FY 23 to FY 24 are due to increased bonus payout of $ 1 . 1 m, 1 . 65 x ( $ 3 . 7 m) in FY 23 compared to 1 . 9 x ( $ 4 . 8 m) in FY 24 . Additionally, headcount has continued to increase throughout the Historical Period from 114 FY 23 average to 126 TTMMar 25 average ( 10 . 5 % increase) as the size of the business grows . • SG&A benefits and payroll taxes : Expenses incurred remained flat throughout the Historical Period with slightly decreased benefits and payroll taxes as a percentage of salaries and wages from FY 23 to FY 24 , 24 . 6 % and 22 . 6 % , respectively . The decrease in percentage from FY 23 to TTMMar 25 is due to decreased worker’s compensation . • R&D personnel costs : Employees are located at MNK SGx headquarters, which is also the R&D facility . Costs and headcount have remained flat throughout the Historical Period . • Cost per head : Costs per head remained broadly consistent throughout the Historical Period . The decrease in cost per head in SG&A from $ 232 . 2 k in FY 24 to $ 218 . 3 k in TTMMar 25 is due to bonus expense . Bonus was adjusted to reflect the 1 . 9 x payout incurred ratably in FY 24 , while Q 125 is accrued at an expected FY 25 payout of 1 . 0 x . 1 Salary and wages include bonus payments and various forms of incentive compensation in addition to base salary expense.

Non - personnel costs within SG&A increased $20.0m (24.0%) in the TTMMar25 period due to increased legal costs. SG&A as a percentage of operating expense increased from 76 . 4 % to 80 . 6 % over the Historical Period due to higher legal spend . An overview of accounts and significant fluctuations are as follows : 1. Legal : Costs primarily consist of costs related to MNK SGx’s ongoing grand jury subpoenas . The expense increased throughout the Historical Period from $ 4 . 0 m in FY 23 to $ 23 . 3 m in the TTMMar 25 period, due to the grand jury subpoenas received by MNK SGx . Management estimates the current legal costs to service the subpoena at $ 2 . 0 m per month . 2. REMs / strategic consulting : Relates primarily to (i) participation in the mandatory Opioid REMs program ( $ 12 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 ), and (ii) professional services to augment internal resources ( $ 3 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 ) . The expense has increased throughout the Historical Period due to the increased REMs program costs . MNK SGx is required to fund the development and educationa l materials for opioid prescribers . Additionally, as part of the FY 24 audit MNK SGx incurred increased professional services fees in FY 24 and TTMMar 25 . 3. IT: Costs relate to software licenses and associated maintenance support fees. 4. Freight : Represents variable freight expense incurred to deliver product to customers . The decrease in expense from FY 23 to FY 24 was due to an increased amount of air shipments at the beginning of FY 23 . COVID - 19 caused constraints on the supply of container ships available for use . The increase in freight costs was partially offset by freight revenue charged through to the customer . 5. Transfers : Relates to the transfer of plant IT costs . IT costs are initially incurred within SG&A and transferred to plant overhead within cost of sales . 6. Other : Primarily consists of (i) taxes related to the sale of opioids ( $ 5 . 6 m in TTMMar 25 ), (ii) property, casualty and umbrella insurance policies ( $ 5 . 3 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iii) subscriptions ( $ 1 . 2 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iv) third party sales commissions ( $ 1 . 0 m in TTMMar 25 ), (v) other miscellaneous SG&A accounts ( $ 6 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 ) . Expenses remained flat throughout the Historical Period . The table above presents operating expenses segregated by personnel and non - personnel on a diligence adjusted basis . R&D costs remained broadly flat throughout the Historical Period and decreased as a percentage of net sales . The costs primarily consist of (i) outside services such as consulting fees and outside lab services, (ii) rent expense for the Webster Groves facility, (iii) supplies and materials such as testing supplies and specification chemicals, and (iv) other costs such as clinic study support .

The adjacent table presents the summary income statement on a diligence adjusted basis for Endo GxSI, inclusive of all Management and diligence adjustments . The adjusted income statement is derived from the deal basis income statement and adjusted for Management and diligence adjustments discussed in the Quality of earnings – Endo GxSI section . Refer to the Endo other competitors receiving FDA approvals (previously Endo GxSI had the only product on the market), (ii) decrease in sales of Dexlansoprazole ( $ 48 . 2 m) due to competitive pressures, and (iii) the discontinuation of three Gx products ( $ 28 . 1 m) . The remaining decrease in net sales throughout the Historical Period is primarily due to the competitive pricing pressure experienced by Endo Gx and Endo SI across its on - market product portfolio and entrance of lower costs competitors . Further discussion on the net sales trend by product is presented on the following pages . Gross margin : Gross margin decreased by 12 . 4 ppts from 52 . 8 % in FY 23 to 40 . 4 % in TTMMar 25 primarily due to (i) pricing pressure from competitions in the market, and (ii) increasing costs for production at CMOs for certain products . EBITDA margin : Decreased by 15 . 0 ppts from 43 . 2 % in FY 23 to 28 . 2 % in TTMMar 25 due to the net sales and gross margin decreases noted above . Additionally, R&D spend as a percentage of sales increased from 5 . 0 % in FY 23 to 6 . 1 % in TTMMar 25 due to FDA regulatory filings for certain Endo SI products to gain exclusivity (Levothyroxine, Phenylephrine and Selenious Acid) in 2 H 24 and Q 125 .

FY23 to FY24 • 1 Net sales : The decrease of $ 248 . 4 m ( 23 . 7 % ) is due to a decrease Varenicline ( $ 149 . 6 m) as more competitors have received FDA approvals . This resulted in Endo Gx losing its favorable market presence . Additionally, Dexlansoprazole net sales decreased ( $ 40 . 3 m) due to heightened competition upon Mylan’s receipt of FDA approval for generic Dexlansoprazole in Jan 24 . Refer to following slides for further discussion on net sales trends . • 2 COS : The decrease of $ 58 . 7 m ( 11 . 5 % ) was primarily driven by decreased sales volume year over year ( $ 139 . 7 m), partially offset by a decrease in product margin ( $ 80 . 9 m) due to higher cost per unit with lower number of units produced . • 3 SG&A: Expenses remained relatively stable year over year. • 4 R&D: The decrease of $11.9m (22.9%) is primarily driven by less R&D activities dedicated to Endo Gx products. COGS: +$58.7m COGS: - $17.2m 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 FY24 to TTMMar25 • 5 Net Sales : The decrease of $31.5m (3.9%) is mainly driven by pricing pressure posed by lower cost generic drug manufacturers. Refer to following slides for more detailed discussion on net sales trends by segment by product. • 6 COS: Increased $17.2m (3.8%) despite the decrease in net sales due to rising costs per unit at CMOs and higher API unit costs. The increases are a result of a change in mix of products sold. The margin impact was partially mitigated by the overall decrease of volume sold. • 7 SGA: Decreased $2.3m (5.0%) due to continued reduction of personnel incentive compensation as performance deteriorated (LTI decrease of $1.3m). • 8 R&D: The increase of $6.5m (16.5%) is primarily driven by the filing fees for new Endo SI products (Levothyroxine, Phenylephrine and Selenious Acid), which is cyclical and follows the product development cycle.

The adjacent table presents gross sales and various deductions for the Endo GxSI products . GTN as a percentage of gross revenue excluding royalty income remains relatively flat across the Historical Period . The fluctuation is mainly driven by chargebacks, which is attributable to the product mix . Endo GxSI recognizes revenue on the sell - in method of accounting at the point of sale to the wholesalers (mainly) who then sell the Endo GxSI’s products to end customers . Revenue is recorded net of reserves . The below discusses various deductions made in reaching the net sales . i . Chargebacks : Relates to the difference between the price paid by wholesalers, referred to as wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”), and the contract price paid by end customers to the wholesaler . This causes the wholesaler to seek remuneration from Endo GxSI when sales to end customers occur, including GPOs, pharmacies, hospitals, etc . Chargebacks account for most of the reductions to gross sales ( 84 . 0 % of total reductions in TTMMar 25 ) and increased 4 . 2 ppts throughout the Historical Period from 54 . 6 % in FY 23 to 58 . 8 % in TTMMar 25 . The increase is primarily attributable to certain Endo SI products (namely Vasostrict, Adrenalin and Ertapenem) . The increase in chargeback percentage for the previously mentioned Endo SI products is mainly driven by the decrease in contracted prices with direct customers . Endo SI lost favorable market conditions on Adrenalin and Vasostrict shortly prior to Historical Period as competitors began to receive FDA approvals . Chargebacks for the Endo Gx product portfolio were generally flat across the Historical Period . Chargebacks are accrued at the point of sale to distributors or direct customers based on a pre - determined percentage of gross sales . The accrual rate is updated quarterly, primarily to reflect the actual chargeback claims from the prior month of the quarter . Management conducts quarterly analyses to evaluate the stock held by wholesalers, and pipeline chargeback adjustments are made accordingly at the end of each quarter . In this Report, chargebacks also include direct cost compensation to customers, mainly CVS . These compensations total $ 62 . 8 m, $ 46 . 5 m, and $ 40 . 6 m for FY 23 , FY 24 , and TTMMar 25 , respectively, and pertain solely to Endo Gx . There are certain classification differences between MNK SGx and Endo GxSI reserves as follows : (i) Endo GxSI classifies DSA fees within “Rebates” whereas MNK SGx classifies DSA fees in “GPO”, (ii) managed care rebates are classified in “Rebates” at Endo GxSI whereas MNK SGx classifies these within “GPO” and (iii) shelf - stock adjustments are included in “Failure to supply fee” at Endo GxSI while MNK SGx records these expenses in “Others” .

Gross to net reductions increased as a percentage of gross sales throughout the Historical Period from 67.9% in FY23 to 70.0% in TTMMar25. iii. vii. ii . Rebates : Primarily represents direct and indirect rebates and inventory admin fees . Rebates are accrued at the point of sale based on the historical rates . Management trues up the rebates on a monthly basis to actual claims by customer but does not track each rebate separately . Management noted the decrease from 4 . 5 % of gross revenue in FY 23 to 3 . 5 % in TTMMar 25 is mainly driven by product mix . Cash discounts : Represents early pay discounts granted to major customers . These customers typically receive a 2 % cash discount for early payments . Management accrues for the 2 % cash discounts at the point of sale . iv. Returns : Accrued at the point of sale based on historical return rate, which is analyzed on a quarterly basis . An annual study on returns is typically conducted at year end . Management noted the goods returned are usually destroyed since only returns with quality issues are accepted . The increase from 1 . 1 % of gross revenue in FY 23 to 1 . 5 % in TTMMar 25 is primarily driven by Endo SI . v. GPO fees : I ncludes GPO and distributor fee for service that are accrued at the point of sale . vi. Medicaid : Represents statutory rebates paid to state Medicaid programs . Medicaid is typically invoiced on a quarterly basis . Medicaid rebates are accrued at pre - determined rates at the point of sale . Management reviews trends on a quarterly basis . Actual claims are received predominantly within 6 – 9 months after sale . The decrease from $ 33 . 2 m in FY 23 to $ 15 . 0 m in FY 24 is mainly driven by a $ 11 . 3 m decrease from Varenicline, which is in line with the decrease in the gross sales of Varenicline . Failure to supply fee : Includes (i) failure to supply fee and (ii) shelf life/price protection adjustment . Failure to supply fees are not accrued at the point of sale and reflect actual claims processed . Shelf stock adjustments are aimed to account for WAC changes for stock held at wholesalers’ warehouses . In FY 23 , the higher failure to supply fee is mainly driven by a $ 12 . 6 m price adjustment incurred for Vasostrict vials to adjust for the WAC change in Apr 23 .

The decrease was primarily due to a $149.6m decrease in Varenicline and a $40.3m decrease in Dexlansoprazole sales. Varenicline experienced de facto market exclusivity until two competitors received FDA approval in Q323 which resulted in a 50.6% volume decrease in FY24 as compared to FY23. The decreases mentioned previously were offset by Lidoderm which had increased market demand, as a competitor exited the market in FY24 contributing to growth in both volume and prices ($61.8m combined increase). Gx top 10 products experienced decreased sales of $7.2m from FY24 to TTMMar25 due to increased pricing pressure ($13.8m decrease), partially offset by increased sales volume ($6.6m). • B Other Endo Gx: Comprised of ~70 different products, each accounting for 1.0% or less of Endo Gx's total net sales. Net sales decreased by $69.3m from FY23 to FY24 driven by price ($27.6m) and volume ($41.7m). Of the $69.3m decrease between FY23 and FY24, $28.1m is attributed to the discontinuation of certain products from FY23 to FY24 (Dutas Tams HCl Caps, Propranolol, and Sucralfate OS) due to failure to achieve profitability goals. Management indicated that product profitability is regularly reviewed, with market strategies being adjusted based on the outcomes of these reviews. Between FY24 and TTMMar25 sales remain broadly stable.

Endo GxSI uses standard costing for materials and manufacturing costs, updated annually in January. The adjacent table summarizes recast cost of sales by nature, descriptions of trends and nature are as follows: 1 . Personnel costs : Increased by $ 7 . 6 m ( 8 . 0 % ) from FY 23 to TTMMar 25 due to (i) slight increase in headcount, (ii) merit - based raises averaging 3 . 0 to 3 . 5 % , and (iii) annual promotions . The headcount growth is primarily in Endo SI as there has been increased investment into the new Endo SI product launch in FY 24 . 2. Standard COS & variances : Decreased $ 25 . 6 m ( 14 . 4 % ) from FY 23 to FY 24 due to lower volumes production volumes . Higher unit costs of CMO manufactured Endo Gx products caused an increase of $ 23 . 5 m ( 15 . 4 % ) from FY 24 to TTMMar 25 . The increased production costs were due to decreased volume . 3. Variable manufacturing OH : Variable costs incurred as part of the manufacturing process such as (i) quality assurance ( $ 16 . 8 m in TTMMar 25 ), (ii) repairs and maintenance ( $ 11 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iii) utilities ( $ 10 . 6 m in TTMMar 25 ), (iv) external personnel ( $ 6 . 2 m in TTMMar 25 ), (v) other fixed charges ( $ 5 . 2 m in TTMMar 25 ), (vi) building expenses ( $ 2 . 4 m in TTMMar 25 ) and (vii) others ( $ 4 . 5 m in TTMMar 25 ) . Increases of $ 11 . 5 m throughout the Historical Period are due to quality assurance ( $ 3 . 9 m) and other fixed charges ( $ 6 . 3 m) . 4. Royalty expense : Calculated based on either revenue or gross profit of certain in - licensed products . The expense decrease of $ 50 . 8 m ( 47 . 9 % ) throughout the Historical Period corresponds to the decrease in revenue of the respective products, primarily Dexlansoprazole . 5. Inventory provisions : Management reviews inventory provisions on a quarterly basis, mainly based on (i) remaining shelf life and forecasted revenue in the next twelve months of products, and (ii) quality assurance process . Management typically reserves for products with less than 12 month shelf life, with case - by - case exceptions depending on future demand from customers . The expense decreased 8 . 7 m ( 18 . 3 % ) throughout the Historical Period as production decreased . 6. Other : Relates to (i) distribution costs, (ii) freight - in materials, (iii) PDUFA fees, and (iv) other miscellaneous cost of sales .

The table at left presents operating expenses segregated by personnel and non - personnel on a diligence adjusted basis . Nature and fluctuations are as follows : SG&A decreased $ 1 . 8 m from $ 45 . 8 m in FY 23 to $ 44 . 0 m, primarily driven by personnel . SG&A expenses increased as a percentage of net sales from 4 . 4 % in FY 23 to 5 . 7 % in TTMMar 25 due to decreased revenue and broadly stable FTEs . The components of SG&A are as follows : iii. i. Personnel : The table at left below presents SG&A personnel expenses by type as well as average FTEs for the Historical Period . People included within SG&A ( 175 as of Mar 25 ), primarily sit within selling and marketing ( 66 ), IT ( 27 ), supply chain ( 20 ), HR ( 18 ), facility management and administrative ( 18 ), government pricing and GTN ( 7 ), legal ( 5 ) and FP&A and audit ( 5 ) . The decrease in personnel expenses of $ 2 . 0 m across the Historical Period is mainly a function of a decrease in long - term incentives (“LTI”) ( $ 1 . 9 m) and bonus ( $ 0 . 9 m) . Both bonus and LTI decreased due to lower Endo GxSI performance . Bonus is accrued monthly and paid out in Q 1 of the following year . Average annual salaries per FTE increased by 4 . 9 % from $ 82 . 3 k in FY 23 to $ 86 . 3 k in TTMMar 25 . Management represented this to be due to a recurring level of annual increases based on employee performance . Other personnel expenses mainly include benefits and payroll taxes . ii. Legal expenses : Primarily comprise IP related expenses ( $ 7 . 3 m in TTMMar 25 ), mainly related to Varenicline ( $ 2 . 3 m), Adrenalin Vial ( $ 2 . 0 m), Vasostrict Pre - Mix Bottle ( $ 1 . 1 m) and Ephedrine ( $ 0 . 9 m) . Legal expenses further include settlements related to recurring IP litigation, as well as general legal counsel costs . Management stated that IP litigation is a standard aspect of operations for the SI and Gx businesses, as IPs are contested by both Endo GxSI and competitors . Although the scale of litigations cannot be reliably predicted, Management anticipates these costs will persist due to the substantial number of marketed products . Lease and building : Primarily includes electricity ( $ 2 . 9 m in TTMMar 25 ), rent ( $ 1 . 7 m), utilities ( $ 1 . 4 m), insurance ( $ 0 . 7 m), and facility related security expenses ( $ 0 . 4 m) .

Notes: 1. For the purpose of presentation, we have remapped certain accounts within reported NWC, and aligned the definitional adjustments between MNK SGx and Endo GxSI, and have further bifurcated between definitional and diligence adjustments. 2. To ensure consistency, we have applied a uniform methodology to the following key metrics across both MNK SGx and Endo GxSI: 1 DSO: Trade AR / T3M gross sales x T3M days 3 DPO: AP / T3M (cost of sales + operating expense – personnel costs) x T3M days 2 DIO has been calculated slightly differently between the businesses based on visibility into cost of sales accounts and inventory balances for each business . MNK SGx calculation represents inventory less capitalized variances / T 3 M standard cost of sales x T 3 M days . Endo GxSI calculation represents inventory less inventory reserves / T 3 M cost of sales less provision, royalties, and freight expense x T 3 M days . For Par Health purposes we have used the product of the inputs at each business to arrive at a blended metric . 3. Given only quarterly NWC data was provided for Endo GxSI, the TTMMar 25 average for MNK SGx above was also calculated using quarterly data to ensure consistency across both businesses .

Working capital – MNK SGx

 

 

Diligence adjusted net working capital increased throughout the Historical Period primarily due to an increase in accounts receivables and inventory. The adjacent table presents a reconciliation of reported deal basis NWC to diligence NWC at Historical Balance Sheet dates and twelve - month average balances for FY 24 and TTMMar 25 based on definitional and diligence adjustments identified and discussed below : A. Definitional NWC : Represents deal basis NWC excluding (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) intercompany balances, primarily related to MNK cash pooling arrangements and shared service invoicing and (iii) accrued income taxes receivable, net of income taxes payable . B. Diligence NWC : Reflects the balance sheet impact of directly quantifiable diligence adjustments identifiable in distinct trial balance accounts containing non - operational or non - recurring items . Note, we did not quantify the potential NWC impact of all proposed EBITDA adjustments individually . We focused on material adjustments affecting working capital specifically in TTMMar 25 including certain Management and carve - out adjustments . Other EBITDA adjustments are not expected to materially impact TTMMar 25 NWC . Adjustments are as follows : 1. AR trade Securitization : As part of the revolving credit facility MNK is party to, certain accounts receivable generated by MNK SGx are owned by an affiliate and used as collateral . This entry removes the impact of the AR securitization, and the accounts receivable are reflected in the adjusted balance sheet . 2. Fresh - start inventory : Removes the impact of fresh - start accounting, primarily related to inventory . See section Quality of earnings - MNK SGx Management adjustment 1 for further information . 3. Asbestos receivable ST to LT : Reclassifies receivables related to asbestos not expected to be collected within a year from short term to long term assets . 4. Pension and post retirement liabilities : MNK SGx employees are party to pension and post retirement plans . This adjustment removes the current portion of the plans from NWC as they are considered non - operational . 5. Carve - out : Aligns the Diligence NWC to the carve - out financial statements, see section Quality of earnings - MNK SGx diligence adjustment 8 for further information . Note : Certain reclassifications have been included in the recast NWC in the following page related to customer payment preferences (i . e . certain rebates, failure to supply, and GPO) . The reclassifications do not impact NWC, rather move GTN items between accrued liabilities and accounts receivable .

The table at left and chart below presents Endo GxSI’s TTMMar 25 quarterly net working capital on a recast basis, including definitional adjustments discussed on previous slide . Endo GxSI definitional working capital averaged $ 239 . 4 m for the last four quarter - ends, with a peak - to - trough spread of $ 30 . 1 m . Endo GxSI’s net working capital is primarily driven by : • Accounts receivable increased between Jun24 - Dec24 due to seasonality of Endo GxSI. Endo GxSI historically experienced decreased sales during the first quarter. DSO increased from 30.3 in Jun24 to 51.9 in Mar25. Management noted customers were generally granted 2% net 60 day terms. • Inventory decreased steadily across the Historical Period due to the seasonality of the business . Endo GxSI DIO averaged 148 . 9 days between Dec 24 - Mar 25 . • Prepaids and other current assets increased by $12.0m between Jun24 - Sep24 due to the prepayment of GDUFA / PDUFA fees and inventory downpayments to meet increased demand (sales grew from $618.0m in averaged 27.2 days during Jun24 - Mar25, consistent with typical vendor payment terms. • Reserves and other payables decreased $15.5m in Mar25 in comparison to Dec24 due to sales seasonality leading to a lower reserve required for GTN items such as sales returns, partner expense, coverage gap, and Medicaid rebates. • Accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased by $14.0m in Mar25 primarily due to a decrease in accrued royalties and accrued SG&A expenses both driven by less sales in Q125.

If a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”) or Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”, and, together with the Form S-3 Shelf and any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, if available, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) has previously been filed and been declared effective, then the Company shall facilitate such Underwritten Offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”) pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt of such request. If no Shelf Registration Statement has previously been filed, then the Company will file a Registration Statement covering the Holder’s Registrable Securities requested to be registered, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective, as promptly as practicable after receipt of such request, and facilitate such Underwritten Offering as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(a) or effect an Underwritten Offering:

4

 

 

(B)   if an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2 shall previously have been consummated within the one hundred twenty (120) days preceding the date such Demand Registration Request is made;

 

(C)   if the number of Demand Registration Requests previously made pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall equal or exceed two (2) in any twelve (12)-month period; provided, however, that a Demand Registration Request shall not be considered made for purposes of this clause (C) unless more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the full amount of Registrable Securities for which registration has been requested have been sold pursuant thereto; or

 

(D)   if the requesting Holder(s) have previously made, in aggregate, three (3) or more Demand Registration Requests.

 

(b)   A Demand Registration Request shall specify (i) the then-current name and address of the requesting Holders, (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and sold in an Underwritten Offering, (iii) the total number of Registrable Securities then beneficially owned by the requesting Holders, and (iv) the intended means of distribution for such Underwritten Offering (including whether such Underwritten Offering will be accomplished as an underwritten “block trade”).

 

(c)   The Company may satisfy its obligations under Section 2(a) hereof by amending (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any registration statement previously filed by the Company under the Securities Act, so that such amended registration statement will permit the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities for which a Demand Registration Request has been properly made under Section 2(b) hereof in an Underwritten Offering. If the Company so amends a previously filed registration statement, the Registration Date of the amended registration statement, as amended pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be the “the first day of effectiveness” of such Registration Statement for purposes of determining the period during which the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof.

 

(d)   The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Registration Statement that has become effective as contemplated by this Section 2 continuously effective, and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other similar order or requirement of the Commission:

 

(A)   in the case of a Registration Statement other than a Shelf Registration Statement, until all Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, but in no event later than two hundred seventy (270) days from the Registration Date of such Registration Statement; and

 

(B)   in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, until all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be Registrable Securities.

 

(e)   The requesting Holders may, in connection with making a Demand Registration Request, at any time prior to the Registration Date of the Registration Statement relating to such registration, revoke their request for the Company to effect an Underwritten Offering of all or part of the requesting Holders’ Registrable Securities by providing a written notice to the Company. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, the entire Demand Registration Request is revoked, then, either (i) the requesting Holders shall reimburse the Company for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the preparation, filing and processing of the Registration Statement (and the Company shall not be required to reimburse the Holders for expenses of their counsel pursuant to Section 7 hereof), which out-of-pocket expenses, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include overhead expenses, and the requested registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registration Requests hereunder or (ii) within ten (10) Business Days from the date of revocation, the Holders of a Majority of Registrable Securities may consent, by written notice to the Company, to the requested Underwritten Offering that has been revoked being deemed to have been effected for purposes of Section 2(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to be reimbursed as provided in clause (i) above (and shall be required to reimburse the Holders for expenses of their counsel pursuant to Section 7 hereof), and the cancelled Underwritten Offering may not be deemed to have been effected pursuant to clause (ii) above if the reason for the requesting Holders’ revocation of the Demand Registration Request was either (a) the Company’s failure to comply in any material respect with its obligations hereunder, or (b) the commencement of a Grace Period.

 

5

 

 

(f)   Upon the Company first becoming a WKSI, the Company may, and, if requested by the Holders of a Majority of Registrable Securities with securities registered on an existing Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will convert such existing Shelf Registration Statement to an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.

 

3.   Procedures for Underwritten Offerings.   The following procedures shall govern Underwritten Offerings pursuant to Section 2.

 

(a)   The requesting Holders shall select one or more investment banking firm(s) of national standing to be the managing underwriter or underwriters for any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration Request with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(b)   As a condition for inclusion of the requesting Holders’ Registrable Securities in any Underwritten Offering, the requesting Holders shall agree to enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters; provided, however that the underwriting agreement is in customary form and reasonably acceptable to the requesting Holders and provided, further, however that the requesting Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding (i) the requesting Holders’ ownership of its Registrable Securities to be sold or transferred, (ii) the requesting Holders’ power and authority to effect such transfer and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested).

 

(c)   If the managing underwriter or underwriters for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration Request advises the requesting Holders that the total number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered is such as to materially adversely affect the success of such Underwritten Offering, the number of Registrable Securities or other Ordinary Shares to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows: first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the securities of the Company to be included by any Person other than a Holder or the Company; second, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities of the Company to be included by the Company; and third, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included by the Holders, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Registrable Securities requested to be sold.

 

4.   Grace Periods.

 

(a)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

 

(A)   the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing or effectiveness of, or, at any time after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission suspend the use of, a Registration Statement (including the Prospectus included therein) or postpone any Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration Request, if in the good faith judgment of the Board, such registration, offering or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect in an adverse manner or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require the disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public and the premature disclosure of which would reasonably be expected, in the good faith judgment of the Board, to materially affect the Company in an adverse manner; provided, however, that the requesting Holders of such Underwritten Offering or Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be entitled to withdraw the applicable request and, if such request is withdrawn, it shall not count against the limits imposed pursuant to Section 2(a)(C), and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration; and

 

6

 

 

(B)   at any time after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and there is no duty to disclose under applicable law, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company if the disclosure of such information at the time would, in the good faith judgment of the Board, reasonably be expected to materially affect the Company in an adverse manner

 

(the period of a postponement or suspension as described in clause (A) and/or a delay described in this clause (B), a “Grace Period”).

 

(b)   The Company shall promptly (i) notify the applicable Holders in writing of the existence of the event or material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information to such Holder, without the express consent of such Holder) or the need to file a post-effective amendment, as applicable, and the date on which such Grace Period will begin, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate a Grace Period as promptly as practicable and (iii) notify the applicable Holders in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends.

 

(c)   A Grace Period may not be called by the Company more than three (3) times in any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, the duration of any one Grace Period shall not exceed forty-five (45) days, and the aggregate of all Grace Periods in total during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period shall not exceed ninety (90) days. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period, the Grace Period shall be deemed to begin on and include the date the Holder receives the notice referred to in clause (i) of Section 4(b) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Holder receives the notice referred to in clause (iii) of Section 4(b) and the date referred to in such notice. In the event the Company declares a Grace Period, the period during which the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration Request shall be extended by the number of days during which such Grace Period is in effect.

 

5.   Piggyback Registration.

 

(a)   If at any time, and from time to time, after an IPO, the Company proposes to:

 

(A)   file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an underwritten offering of Ordinary Shares (other than with respect to a registration statement (i) on Form S-8, (ii) on Form S-4 or (iii) another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), whether or not for its own account; or

 

(B)   conduct an underwritten offering constituting a “takedown” of Ordinary Shares registered under a Shelf Registration Statement previously filed by the Company;

 

the Company shall give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing or underwritten offering to each Holder at least twenty (20) Business Days before the anticipated filing date. Such notice shall include the number and class of securities proposed to be registered or offered, the proposed date of filing of such registration statement or the conduct of such underwritten offering and any proposed means of distribution of such securities, and shall offer the Holder the opportunity to register such amount of Registrable Securities as the Holder may request on the same terms and conditions as the registration of the Company’s and/or the holders of other of the Company’s securities, as the case may be (a “Piggyback Offering”), in each case provided that such Holder’s Registrable Securities are the same class of security having the same terms as the securities originally proposed by the Company to be offered in such underwritten offering. Subject to Section 5(b), the Company will include in each Piggyback Offering all such Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written request for inclusion within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Piggyback Notice is given (for the avoidance of doubt, only Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to participate in such Piggyback Offering); provided, however, that in the case of the filing of a registration statement, such Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered pursuant to an existing and effective Shelf Registration Statement under this Agreement pursuant to which such Registrable Securities may be included in a Piggyback Offering under such Shelf Registration Statement.

 

7

 

 

(b)   The Company will cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of the proposed offering to permit the requesting Holders to include all such Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities originally proposed by the Company to be offered in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering advises the Company and the requesting Holders in writing that, in its view, the total amount of securities that the Company, the requesting Holders and any other holders of the Company’s securities entitled to participate in such offering pursuant to registration rights or similar rights granted by the Company to such holders (“Other Holders”) propose to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such underwritten offering, then:

 

(A)   if such Piggyback Offering is an underwritten primary offering by the Company for its own account, the Company will include in such Piggyback Offering: (i) first, all securities to be offered by the Company; and (ii) second, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by the requesting Holders and the Other Holders entitled to participate in such offering, allocated pro rata among such holders on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such holder;

 

(B)   if such Piggyback Offering is an underwritten secondary offering for the account of Other Holders exercising “demand” rights pursuant to another registration rights agreement with the Company, the Company will include in such registration: (i) first, all securities that the Other Holders exercising “demand” rights requested to be included therein; (ii) second, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Offering by the requesting Holders; and (iii) third, up to the full amount of securities proposed to be included in the registration by the Company;

 

such that, in each case, the total amount of securities to be included in such Piggyback Offering is the full amount that, in the view of such managing underwriter, can be sold without adversely affecting the success of such Piggyback Offering.

 

(c)   If at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the time sales of securities are confirmed pursuant to the Piggyback Offering, the Company determines for any reason not to register or delay the registration of the Piggyback Offering, the Company may, at its election, give notice of its determination to the requesting Holders, and in the case of such a determination, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the abandoned or delayed Piggyback Offering, without prejudice.

 

(d)   Any Holder may withdraw its request for inclusion in a Piggyback Offering by giving written notice to the Company, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Registration Date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Offering, or, in the case of a Piggyback Offering constituting a “takedown” off of a Shelf Registration Statement, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the filing by the Company under Rule 424 of a supplemental prospectus (which shall be the preliminary supplemental prospectus, if one is used in the “takedown”) with respect to such offering, of its intention to withdraw from that registration; provided, however, that (i) the Holder’s request be made in writing and (ii) the withdrawal will be irrevocable and, after making the withdrawal, such Holder will no longer have any right to include its Registrable Securities in that Piggyback Offering.

(h)   with respect to any Underwritten Offering, obtain a signed

 

(A)   opinion of outside counsel for the Company (including a customary 10b-5 statement), dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and addressed to the underwriters, reasonably satisfactory (based on the customary form and substance of opinions of issuers’ counsel customarily given in such an offering) in form and substance to such underwriters, if any, and

(B)   “comfort” letter, dated the date of the underwriting agreement and a “bring-down” comfort letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and addressed to the underwriters and signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included or incorporated by reference in such registration statement, reasonably satisfactory (based on the customary form and substance of “cold comfort” letters of issuers’ independent public accountant customarily given in such an offering) in form and substance to such underwriters, if any,

 

in each case, covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and, in the case of the accountants’ comfort letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ comfort letters delivered to underwriters in such types of offerings of securities;

 

(i)   notify each Holder at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and for which the Company believes in its reasonable good faith judgement it must suspend the use of the Registration Statement and Prospectus until an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act may be filed (which the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective as soon as possible), and promptly prepare and furnish to it a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

 

(j)   notify each Holder promptly of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information;

 

(k)   advise each Holder promptly after the Company receives notice or obtains knowledge of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to the Registrable Securities at the earliest practicable moment and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal;

 

(l)   otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and any other governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction over the offering of Registrable Securities, and make available to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months, but not more than eighteen (18) months, beginning with the first (1st) full calendar month after the Registration Date of such Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 and which requirement will be deemed satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Form 10-Q and 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158;

 

(m)   provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement no later than the Registration Date thereof;

 

(n)   enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as the Holders or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, including customary indemnification; and provide reasonable cooperation, including causing at least one (1) executive officer and a senior financial officer to attend and participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the underwriters, if any, as reasonably requested; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to participate in more than two (2) “road shows” in any twelve (12)-month period and such participation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of the Company;

 

10

 

 

(o)   if requested by the managing underwriter(s) or the Holders in connection with an Underwritten Offering, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information relating to the plan of distribution for the applicable Registrable Securities provided to the Company in writing by the managing underwriters and the Holders and that is required to be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities, including without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold to such underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and make any required filings with respect to such information relating to the plan of distribution as soon as practicable after being notified of the information;

 

(p)   cooperate with the Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such amounts and registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders, may reasonably request at least three (3) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters; provided, that the Company may satisfy its obligations hereunder without issuing physical stock certificates through the use of The Depository Trust Company’s Direct Registration System; and

 

(q)   otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

 

In addition, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from such Holder, including any update to or confirmation of the information contained in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless the Holder has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire and a response to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence and, if an Underwritten Offering, entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters in accordance with Section 3(b). If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or a request for further information, in either case, after its respective deadline, the Company shall be permitted to exclude the Holder from being a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective amendment thereto. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information as described in this Section 6 will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement. As used in this Section 6, the words “Holder” and “Holders” shall be limited to Holders of Registrable Securities expected to be included, in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, in a Registration Statement referred to herein.

 

7.   Registration Expenses.   Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts, fees or selling commissions or broker or similar commissions or fees, or transfer taxes of the Holder) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any stock exchange on which any Registrable Securities are then listed for trading, (B) with respect to compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with “blue sky” qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holder) and (C) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with an issuer filing, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) pursuant to the FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Holder), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with any road show for underwritten offerings, (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company will pay the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of the Counsel to the Holders (not to exceed $75,000 per offering), including, for the avoidance of doubt, any expenses of Counsel to the Holders in connection with the filing or amendment of any Registration Statement, Prospectus or free writing prospectus hereunder. The Holder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts, fees and commissions applicable to the Registrable Securities sold for the Holder’s account.

8.   Lockups.   In connection with any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2, Piggyback Offering or other underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company, to the extent advised by the managing underwriter for such offering, such Holder shall agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, without prior written consent from the Company or such managing underwriter, during the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the date of the pricing of such offering (the “Lockup Period”), except as part of such offering, provided, that such Lockup Period restrictions are applicable on substantially similar terms to the Company and all of its and its subsidiaries’ executive officers and directors and any other stockholder participating in such offering or such persons are otherwise obligated pursuant to an agreement with the Company to enter into a lock-up agreement, without giving effect to any waiver or amendment thereof.

 

9.   Indemnification.

 

(a)   Indemnification by the Company.   The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, trustees, trust beneficiaries, managers, investment managers, stockholders, Affiliates and employees of such Holder, each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, trustees, trust beneficiaries, investment managers, stockholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), to which any of them may become subject, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by such Holder in writing to the Company expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6(i), related to the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by the Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 14(c) below, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 9(c)), shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

 

12

 

 

(b)   Indemnification by Holder.   Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its respective directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based solely upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was provided by such Holder in writing to the Company expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6(i), to the extent, but only to the extent, related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 14(c), but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. In no event shall the liability of a Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 9(c)), shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Holder may otherwise have.

 

(c)   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.   If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that in the reasonable judgment of such counsel a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties (and more than one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

13

 

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 9(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, with reasonable promptness after receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

(d)   Contribution.   If the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or ((b)) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(d), a Holder shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that the Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

10.   Section 4(a)(7); Rule 144 and Rule 144A; Other Exemptions.   With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act and Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the Holders of Registrable Securities to sell securities of the Company without registration, until such time as when no Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company covenants that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) so long as it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, file in a timely manner all reports and other documents, if any, required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, and (ii) make available information necessary to comply with Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act, Rule 144 and Rule 144A, if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, at all times, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act, Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (if available with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities), as such rules may be amended from time to time or (y) any other rules or regulations now existing or hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the reasonable request of a Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance.

 

14

 

 

11.   Transfer of Registration Rights.   Each Holder may assign its rights hereunder on a pro rata basis in connection with any sale, transfer, assignment, or other conveyance (any of the foregoing, a “Transfer”) of Registrable Securities to any transferee or assignee that is an Affiliate of the Holder (a “Transferee”); provided, that all of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (a) such Transfer is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and the restrictions with respect to the transfer of Ordinary Shares set forth in the Company’s organizational documents and applicable Irish law; (b) such Transferee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto; and (c) the Company is given written notice by the Holder of such Transfer, stating the date of Transfer, name and address of the Transferee, identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being assigned, and any other information which the Company’s registrar may reasonably request to identify the Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being assigned.

 

12.   Reserved.

 

13.   Further Assurances.   Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further instruments and documents and take all such further action as any other party hereto may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement.

 

14.   Miscellaneous.

 

(a)   Remedies.   Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(b)   Compliance.   Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in each Registration Statement.

 

(c)   Discontinued Disposition.   Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Grace Period or any event of the kind described in Section 6(i), such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

 

(d)   No Inconsistent Agreements.   The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holder in this Agreement. The Company shall not grant any registration rights to third parties which are more favorable than or inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder unless any such more favorable rights are concurrently added to the rights granted hereunder.

 

(e)   Amendments and Waivers.   The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver has been approved by Holders of a majority of the total Registrable Securities; provided, that any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver that would have a materially adverse and disproportionate effect on the rights of any Holder will require the written consent of such Holder. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule I hereto may be amended by the Company from time to time in compliance with the terms of this Agreement without the consent of the other parties. Any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 14(e) shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto.

(h)   Execution and Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

(i)   Delivery by Electronic Transmission.   This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of portable document format (pdf.) or other electronic means, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of electronic means as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

 

(j)   Governing Law; Venue.   This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) to the extent such rules or provisions would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents and agrees that any action to enforce this Agreement or any dispute, whether such dispute arises in law or equity, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. The parties hereto consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert in any such dispute, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (i) such party and such party’s property is immune from any legal process issued by such courts or (ii) any litigation or other Proceeding commenced in such courts is brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties hereby agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or Proceeding to an address provided in writing by the recipient of such mailing, or in compliance with the notice provisions of this Agreement, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and hereby waive any objections to service in the manner herein provided.

 

(k)   Waiver of Jury Trial.   Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees to waive its respective rights to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement.

Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into this Agreement, that each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 14(k) AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

(l)   Severability.   Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. The words “include”, “includes” or “including” in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation”. The use of the words “or,” “either” or “any” shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.

(n)   Entire Agreement.   This Agreement and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.

 

(o)   Termination.   The obligations of the Company and each Holder, other than those obligations contained in Section 9, and this Section 14 (other than Section 14(d)), shall terminate with respect to the Company and such Holder as soon as such Holder no longer beneficially owns any Registrable Securities, and this Agreement (other than such sections) shall terminate when no Holders beneficially own any Registrable Securities.

 

(p)   Aggregation of Interests.   For the purposes of this Agreement (including any ancillary agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement), when calculating an ownership percentage in any security or interest of any Person, such Person’s ownership interests shall be aggregated together with the securities or interests held by such Person’s Affiliates; it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, for the determination of whether any percentage threshold has been reached under this Agreement, the same security or interest therein shall not be counted more than once.
