Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of the Business

Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of Zyla Life Sciences and its subsidiaries (“Zyla” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019 (Successor), the three months ended June 30, 2019 (Successor) and for the periods from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor), January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 (Predecessor) and the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (Predecessor) are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 (Predecessor) has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, though, as described below, such prior financial statements will not be comparable to the interim financial statements due to the adoption of fresh start accounting on January 31, 2019. For additional information, see Note 3- Fresh Start Accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor) are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 Proceedings

Chapter 11 Cases

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (The “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire the SOLUMATRIX® products and INDOCIN® products and one development product from Iroko Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Iroko”). To facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Iroko Products Acquisition”) and to reorganize its financial structure, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and a related Joint Plan of Reorganization ( “the Plan”) on October 30, 2018.

The Company requested that the Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) be jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption “In re Egalet Corporation, et al., Case No. 18-12439”. Upon filing, the Company continued to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company continued ordinary course operations substantially uninterrupted during the Chapter 11 Cases and sought approval from the Bankruptcy Court for relief under certain “first day” motions authorizing the Company to continue to conduct its business in the ordinary course. On January 14, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 31, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), and substantially concurrent with the consummation of the acquisition of the Iroko products named below pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Iroko Products Acquisition”), the Plan became effective.

Organization and Business Overview

augment its current product portfolio, the Company is seeking to acquire additional product candidates or approved products to develop and/or market. The Company plans to grow its business through its commercial revenue and potential business development opportunities.

Liquidity and Substantial Doubt in Going Concern

Substantial Doubt Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $30.1 million and a working capital deficit of $14.3 million. Even though the Company emerged from bankruptcy, it continues to have significant indebtedness and its ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful integration of the Iroko Products Acquisition, increasing its revenue, managing its expenses and complying with the terms of its new debt agreements. Refer to Note 9—Debt for additional details of debt agreements.

These factors, in combination with others described above, resulted in the conclusion that there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for the one-year period after the date that these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern .

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Accounting

Basis of Accounting

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Company’s consolidation policy requires the consolidation of entities where a controlling financial interest is held. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations , which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on February 1, 2019. As a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements subsequent to January 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, any other interim periods or any future year or period . See Note 3 – Fresh Start Accounting for further details on the impact of fresh start accounting on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on March 29, 2019 with the SEC.

References to "Successor" or "Successor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to January 31, 2019. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, January 31, 2019.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of those financial statements, new accounting policies are noted below.

Goodwill

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the reorganization equity value over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets pursuant to ASC 852 Reorganizations . Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of net assets are below their carrying amounts. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. Our operations are currently comprised of a single, entity wide reporting unit.

The Company determined that no events have occurred or circumstances changed during the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 (Predecessor) that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of the Company’s reporting units below their respective carrying amounts. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration

Pursuant to the Iroko Products Acquisition, the Company has obligations relating to contingent payment consideration for future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million . The Company recorded the acquisition-date fair value of these contingent liabilities, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting date. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The royalty term commenced on the Effective Date and ends on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, January 31, 2029.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (ASC 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases" (ASU 2018-10), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842)-Targeted Improvements" (ASU 2018-11), which addressed implementation issues related to the new lease standard. These and certain other lease-related ASUs have generally been codified in ASC 842. ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, Leases (ASC 840). ASC 842 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach as of the effective date, which allows the Company to not adjust the comparative periods presented. The Company has elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, the lease classification for existing or expired leases or the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date. Further, the Company does not expect the amendments in ASU 2018-01: Land Easement Practical Expedient to have an effect on its financial position because it did not enter into land easement arrangements. The Company has elected, as an accounting policy, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less.

Upon adoption, the Predecessor Company recorded a lease liability of $2.5 million with a corresponding ROU asset of $1.9 million for its operating leases. As of the adoption date, the Company had a $0.6 million deferred rent liability which was reversed. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

3. Fresh Start Accounting

Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting as (i) the reorganization value of the assets of the Successor Company immediately before the date of confirmation of the Plan was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and (ii) the holders of the Predecessor Company’s voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity.

GAAP requires the adoption of fresh start accounting on the later of (i) the Plan confirmation date, or (ii) when all material conditions precedent to the Plan’s becoming effective are resolved, which occurred on January 31, 2019. Accordingly, the Company selected January 31, 2019 as the fresh start reporting date. Upon the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated the reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values. Reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company’s assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill.

The Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan based upon an estimated enterprise value of the Company between $162 million and $200 million, which was estimated using various valuation methods, including (i) comparable public company analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company relative to other publicly traded companies with similar operations and financial characteristics; (ii) discounted cash flow analysis, a calculation of the present value of the future cash flows to be generated by the asset or business based on its projection, and (iii) precedent transaction analysis, a method to estimate the value of a company by examining comparable public merger and acquisition transactions. Based upon a reevaluation of relevant factors used in determining the range of enterprise value and updated expected cash flow projections, the Company concluded the enterprise value, or fair value, was $196.6 million.

The basis of the discounted cash flow analysis used in developing the enterprise value was based on Company prepared projections that included a variety of estimates and assumptions. While the Company considers such estimates and assumptions reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and, therefore, may not be realized. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have had a significant effect on the determination of the Company’s enterprise value. The assumptions used in the calculations for the discounted cash flow analysis, which had the most significant effect on our estimated enterprise value, included the following: forecasted revenue, costs and free cash flows through 2023, discount rate of 15.1 %. A terminal value of $217.3 million was established, which was determined using a perpetual long-term growth rate of 3%.

The four-column consolidated statement of financial position as of January 31, 2019, included herein, applies effects of the Plan and fresh start accounting to the carrying values and classifications of assets or liabilities. Upon adoption of fresh start accounting, the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values. Accordingly, the reported historical financial statements of the Predecessor Company prior to the adoption of fresh start accounting for periods ended on or prior to January 31, 2019 are not comparable to those of the Successor Company.

In applying fresh start accounting, the Company followed these principles:

The reorganization value, which represents the concluded enterprise value plus excess cash and cash equivalents and non-interesting bearing liabilities of the entity, was allocated to the entity’s reporting units in conformity with ASC 805, Business Combinations . The reorganization value exceeded the sum of the fair value assigned to assets and liabilities. This excess was recorded as Successor Company goodwill as of January 31, 2019.

Each asset and liability existing as of the fresh start accounting date, other than deferred taxes, has been stated at the fair value, and determined at appropriate risk adjusted interest rates.

Deferred taxes were reported in conformity with applicable income tax accounting standards, principally ASC 740, Income Taxes .

Adjustments to accrued expense reflect i) $2.15 million success fees to be paid after the Effective Date upon the completion of the Iroko Products Acquisition and Chapter 11 proceedings, ii) $1.0 million transaction fees to be paid after the Effective Date for expenses Iroko incurred in connection with the acquisition, and iii) $17.03 million product related liabilities such as rebate, coupon payment, etc. assumed from Iroko.

Reflects obligations entered into upon emergence to finance transactions effectuated by the Plan: i) $90.3 million in 13% Notes, net of discount for interest-free period, and a royalty rights agreement giving the right to receive payment equal to 1.5% of net sales on all reorganized entity products, ii) $4.5 million pursuant to the Interim Promissory Note, and iii) $14.8 million in contingent consideration. Specifically, the contingent consideration represents the fair value of future royalty payments due to Iroko in the event Indocin net sales exceed $20.0 million in any fiscal year between the Effective Date and January 31, 2029 (“Indocin Royalty”). The current portion of the 13% Notes, Interim Promissory Note, and Indocin Royalty is $1.1 million, $0.4 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.

The adjustment to liabilities subject to compromise relates to the extinguishment of the former 13% Notes and associated royalty rights, the 5.50% and 6.50% Notes, and rejected contracts. The former 13% Notes were settled with $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes newly issued common stock of the Successor Company representing approximately 19.38% of the common stock then outstanding, and $20.0 million in cash equal to the sum of adequate protection payments of $1.8 million and cash distribution of $18.2 million. The 5.50% and 6.50% Notes were settled with newly issued common stock of the Successor Company representing approximately 31.62% of the common stock then outstanding. Contracts rejected in the Chapter 11 cases did not receive any consideration.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s predecessor common stock was cancelled, and new common stock and warrants were issued. The adjustment eliminated the Predecessor Company’s common stock, additional paid-in capital and recorded the Successor Company’s new $0.001 par value common stock, warrants and additional paid-in capital. The Company issued 9,360,968 shares of new common stock and additional paid-in capital of $60.8 million and $26.1 million of warrants. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model. Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of such warrants at issuance include an assumed share price volatility of 60%, a risk-free rate of return of 2.43% with a 5 year term, and marketability discount between 7% and 20% for the lock-up periods.

Fresh Start Adjustments

A $3.2 million adjustment was recorded to adjust the Company’s legacy inventory, excluding inventory assumed from Iroko, to fair value. The Company obtained an independent third-party valuation specialist’s assistance in the determination of the fair values of inventory. The inventory valuation included an analysis of net realizable value of the work in progress inventory and finished goods. Finished goods are valued using the comparative sales method as a function of the estimated selling price less the sum of any cost to complete, costs of disposal, holding costs, and a reasonable profit allowance. Carrying value of raw materials and packaging is assumed to represent a reasonable proxy for fair value.

Reflects fresh start adjustments recorded to adjust intangible assets related to the Company’s legacy products, SPRIX and OXAYDO, to fair value. The Company obtained independent-third party valuation specialist’s assistance in determination of the fair values of intangibles. SPRIX and OXAYDO intellectual property values are valued using the multi period excess earnings method under the income approach. The multi-period excess earnings method measures economic benefit indirectly by calculating the income attributable to an asset after appropriate returns are paid to complementary assets used in conjunction with the subject asset to produce contributory asset charges. Key components of the excess earnings methods include revenue, adjusted operating margin, charges for use of other assets, and discount rate.

4. Revenue From Contracts with Customers

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers. To recognize revenue pursuant to the provisions of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses whether the goods or services promised within each contract are distinct to determine those that are performance obligations.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or services to a customer (“transaction price”). The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. To the extent that the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price to which the Company expects to be entitled after giving effect to returns, rebates, sales allowances and other variable elements with contracts between the Company and its customers. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a

Table of Contents

significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance under the contract and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. Sales taxes and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the significant financing practical expedient, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component during the period ended June 30, 2019.

The Company’s existing contracts with customers contain only a single performance obligation and, as such, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Should future contracts contain multiple performance obligations, those would require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on observable prices or a cost-plus margin approach when one is not available.

The Company’s performance obligations are to provide pharmaceutical products to several wholesalers or a single specialty pharmaceutical distributor. All of the Company's performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good to a customer, which is typically upon delivery. Payments for invoices are generally due within 30 to 65 days of invoice date.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Reserves for Variable Consideration

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and which result from returns, rebates and sales allowances that are offered within or impacted by contracts between the Company and its customers. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes which are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract as of the date of determination. The amount of variable consideration which is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. If actual results in the future vary from the Company’s estimates, the Company adjusts these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Table of Contents

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for its products. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company estimates product return liabilities using the expected value method based on its historical sales information and other factors that it believes could significantly impact its expected returns, including product discontinuations, product recalls and expirations, of which it becomes aware. These factors include its estimate of actual and historical return rates for non-conforming product and open return requests.

Specialty Pharmacy Fees

The Company pays certain specialty pharmaceutical distributor fees based on a contractually determined rate. The Company records the fees on shipment to the distributor and recognizes the fees as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Wholesaler and Title Fees

The Company pays certain pharmaceutical wholesalers and its third-party logistics provider fees based on a contractually determined rate. The Company accrues these fees on shipments to the respective wholesalers and recognizes the fees as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

Prompt Pay Discount

The Company offers cash discounts to its customers, generally 2% of the sales price, as an incentive for prompt payment. The Company estimates cash discounts using the mostly likely amount method by reducing accounts receivable by the prompt pay discount amount. The discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue in the same period as the related revenue.

Patient Discount Programs

The Company offers co-pay discount programs to patients for each of its products, in which patients receive a co-pay discount on their prescriptions. For discount amounts that are not immediately available, the Company estimates the total amount that will be redeemed using the expected value method based on the quantity of product shipped. The Company recognizes the discount as a reduction of revenue in the same period as the related revenue.

Rebates and Chargebacks

The Company contracts with various commercial and government payor organizations for the payment of rebates and/or chargebacks with respect to utilization of its products. The Company estimates these rebates and chargebacks using the expected value method and records such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of net product sales and the establishment of an accrued expense.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2019. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement including performance obligations that are part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less. All of the Company’s contracts are eligible for the practical expedient provided by ASC 606, therefore the Company elected not to disclose any remaining performance obligations.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers

When the Company receives consideration from a customer, or such consideration is unconditionally due from a customer prior to the transfer of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, the Company records a contract liability. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company classifies contract liabilities as deferred revenue. The Company had no deferred revenue as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Contract assets primarily relate to rights to consideration for goods or services transferred to the customer when the right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. The Company had no contract assets as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. When shipping and handling costs are incurred after a customer obtains control of the products, the Company has elected to account for these as costs to fulfill the promise and not as a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of finished products to customers are expensed as incurred and are recorded in costs of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, commissions) when incurred as the period of benefit is less than one year.

13% Senior Secured Notes Indenture Due 2024

On the Effective Date, the Company issued $95.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 13% senior secured notes (the “13% Notes”) and entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the 13% Notes with the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, previously held by U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”). The 13% Notes were issued in two series: (x) $50.0 million of “Series A-1 Notes”, issued pursuant to the Plan to former holders of First Lien Secured Notes Claims (the “former 13% Notes”) and which is subject to an interest holiday from the Effective Date through November 1, 2019 and (y) $45.0 million of “Series A-2 Notes,” issued to Iroko and certain of its affiliates and which are subject to the rights of set-off and recoupment and related provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On the Effective Date, the Company recorded a discount associated with the interest holiday on the Series A-1 Notes of $4.6 million. The obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the 13% Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by the Guarantors.

Interest on the 13% Notes accrues at a rate of 13% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year (each, a “Payment Date”) commencing on May 1, 2019 (subject to the interest holiday referred to above with respect to the Series A-1 Notes). On each Payment Date, the Company will also pay an installment of principal on the 13% Notes in an amount equal to 15% of the aggregate net sales of OXAYDO (oxycodone HCI, USP) tablets for oral use only —CII, SPRIX (ketorolac tromethamine) Nasal Spray, ARYMO ER, Egalet-002, the SOLUMATRIX® products and the INDOCIN products for the two consecutive fiscal quarter period most recently ended, less the amount of interest paid on the 13% Notes on such Payment Date.

The 13% Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company and will be equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company, will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, will have the benefit of a security interest in the 13% Notes collateral and will be junior in lien priority in respect of any collateral that secures any first priority lien obligations incurred from time to time in accordance with the Indenture. The stated maturity date of the 13% Notes is January 31, 2024. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, subject to certain conditions, or certain Asset Sales events (each, as defined in the Indenture), holders of the 13% Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 13% Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Table of Contents

The Company may redeem the 13% Notes at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, prior to January 31, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium computed using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate in respect of such redemption date plus 1%. The Company may redeem the 13% Notes at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, on or after January 31, 2020, at a redemption price equal to: (i) from and including January 31, 2020 to and including January 30, 2021, 103% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes to be redeemed and (ii) from and including January 31, 2021 and thereafter, 100% of the principal amount of the 13% Notes to be redeemed, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to January 31, 2020, the Company may redeem, at its option, up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes with the proceeds of one or more public or private equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 113.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the 13% Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption in accordance with the Indenture; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of 13% Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption and provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. No sinking fund is provided for the 13% Notes, which means that the Company is not required to periodically redeem or retire the 13% Notes.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries must also comply with certain affirmative covenants, such as furnishing financial statements to the holders of the 13% Notes, and negative covenants, including limitations on the following: the incurrence of debt; the issuance of preferred and/or disqualified stock; the payment of dividends, the repurchase of shares and under certain conditions making certain other restricted payments; the prepayment, redemption or repurchase of subordinated debt; the merger, amalgamation or consolidation involving the Company; engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; and the making of investments other than those permitted by the Indenture. In addition, commencing December 31, 2019, the Company must maintain a minimum level of consolidated liquidity, based on unrestricted cash on hand and availability under any revolving credit facility, equal to the greater of (1) the quotient of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes divided by 9.5 and (2) $7.5 million.

The Indenture governing the 13% Notes contains customary events of default with respect to the 13% Notes (including the Company’s failure to make any payment of principal or interest on the 13% Notes when due and payable or the Company’s failure to comply with the minimum consolidated liquidity covenant described above), and upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 13% Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the 13% Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as well as the then-applicable optional redemption premium under the Indenture, will be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture), the Notes will automatically become due and payable. With respect to any event of default due to the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant, the Company may, within ten business days, cure such default through the issuance of equity securities, subordinated debt securities or certain other capital contributions.

Preemptive Rights Agreements

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into preemptive rights agreements (the “Preemptive Rights Agreements”) with certain of the holders of the former 13% Notes. The Preemptive Rights Agreements provide for customary preemptive rights in favor of the parties thereto with respect to certain future issuances of debt or equity securities by the Company, subject to certain exceptions, for so long as such party continues to hold at least 2.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Collateral Agreement

On the Effective Date and in connection with its entry into the Indenture, the Company entered into a collateral agreement, dated as of the Effective Date, with the Collateral Agent and the subsidiary parties from time to time party thereto (the “Collateral Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreement, the Notes and the related guarantees are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, in each

Table of Contents

case, subject to certain prior liens and other exclusions, and a pledge of 65% of the voting equity interests and 100% of the non-voting equity interests of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (other than Egalet Limited and any Specified IP Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture), of which 100% of the voting equity interests have been pledged) to the extent and only for so long as the Company determines in good faith that permitting a pledge of 100% of such voting Equity Interests would result in material adverse tax consequences for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, it being understood that, if a percentage less than 100% but greater than 65% of such voting equity interests may be pledged without any such material adverse tax consequences, then such percentage shall be pledged.

Royalty Rights Obligation

In connection with 13% Notes, the Company entered into royalty rights agreements (the “Royalty Rights”) with each of the holders of the 13% Notes pursuant to which the Company will pay the holders of the 13% Notes aggregate 1.5% royalty on Net Sales (as defined in the Indenture) from the Effective Date through December 31, 2022.

The Royalty Rights were determined to be a freestanding element with respect to the 13% Notes and the Company is accounting for the Royalty Rights obligation relating to future royalties as a debt instrument. The Company has Royalty Rights obligations of $5.7 million as of June 30, 2019, which are classified as current and non-current debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The accounting for the 13% Notes requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions about the future net sales. The estimates of the magnitude and timing of net sales are subject to significant variability due to the extended time period associated with the financing transaction, and are thus subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, these estimates and assumptions are likely to change, which may result in future adjustments to the portion of the debt that is classified as a current liability, the amortization of debt issuance costs and discount as well as the accretion of the interest expense. Any such adjustments could be material. On the Effective Date, the fair value of the Royalty Rights obligation associated with net product sales was estimated to be approximately $5.7 million using a probability-weighted present value analysis. On the Effective Date, the Royalty Rights obligation was recorded with an offsetting discount recognized on the 13% Notes.

Credit Agreement

On March 20, 2019, (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”) and certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), which Credit Agreement consists of a $20.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company drew $5.0 million on the Closing Date and must maintain at least 25% of the commitment amount outstanding at all times. The Company will use the proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement for working capital purposes and to pay costs and expenses incurred by the Credit Agreement and related transactions. This arrangement will be recognized as a related party transaction as the Lenders are holders of a portion of the Company’s 13% Notes that were issued on January 31, 2019.

Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 4.00%. The Credit Agreement matures on March 20, 2022.

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zyla Life Sciences US Inc. and Egalet Ltd. (collectively, the “Guarantors”). As security for the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have granted to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and other secured parties, a first priority lien on substantially all of their tangible and intangible personal property (other than certain specified excluded assets), including proceeds and accounts related to this property and the capital stock of the Guarantors, pursuant to the terms of that certain Collateral Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Collateral Agreement”), among the Company and the Guarantors in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and other secured parties. The Credit Agreement will (i) be equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company, (ii) be senior in right of payment to the obligations of the Company pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2019 (the

Table of Contents

“Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, and (iii) be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

The Company may terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement at its option, in whole or in part from time to time, subject to a termination fee equal to (x) 1.0% from the Closing Date through March 20, 2020 and (y) 0.50% from March 20, 2020 through March 20, 2021.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries must also comply with certain customary affirmative covenants, such as furnishing financial statements to the Lenders, and negative covenants, including limitations on the following: incurring debt; issuing preferred and/or disqualified stock; paying dividends, repurchasing shares and, under certain conditions, making certain other restricted payments; prepaying, redeeming or purchasing subordinated debt; conducting a merger or consolidation involving the Company; engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; disposing of assets under certain circumstances; and making certain investments, in each case, other than those permitted by the Credit Agreement. In addition, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2019, the Company must maintain a minimum level of consolidated liquidity, based on unrestricted cash on hand and availability under any revolving credit facility, equal to the greater of (1) the quotient of the outstanding principal amount of the senior secured notes issued pursuant to the Indenture divided by 9.5 and (2) $7,500,000. As of June 30, 2019 the Company’s minimum level of consolidated liquidity is $10.0 million.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (including the Company’s failure to make any payment of principal or interest when due and payable, the failure to comply with the minimum consolidated liquidity covenant or other covenants described above, or upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement)), and, upon such events of default occurring and continuing, the Lenders may accelerate the loans. In the event of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or its subsidiaries, the obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become due and payable. With respect to any event of default due to the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant (described above), the Company may, within ten business days, cure such default through the issuance of equity securities, subordinated debt securities or certain other capital contributions.

On the Closing Date and in connection with its entry into of the Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors entered into the Collateral Agreement, which granted a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ assets, in each case subject to certain existing liens and other exclusions.

Interim Promissory Note

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a $4.5 million promissory note to an affiliate of Iroko in respect of certain inventory purchases by Iroko as a part of the Iroko Products Acquisition (the “Interim Promissory Note”). The Interim Promissory Note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum (payable by way of increasing the principal amount of the Interim Promissory Note on each interest payment date) and matures on July 31, 2020.

The former 13% Notes were sold only to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The former 13% Notes were senior secured obligations of the Company and equal in right of payment to all existing and future pari passu indebtedness of the Company (including the 5.50% Notes), were senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, had the benefit of a security interest in the Notes collateral and are junior in lien priority in respect of any collateral that secures any first priority lien obligations incurred, which includes intellectual property, from time to time in accordance with the indenture governing the former 13% Notes.

As of December 31, 2018, a total of $80.0 million in principal amount of the former 13% Notes remained outstanding. Refer to Note 3 – Fresh Start Accounting for further details.

Former 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes

In April and May 2015, the Company issued through a private placement $61.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes (the “5.50% Notes”).

The 5.50% Notes were general, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and ranked senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness that was expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 5.50% Notes. The 5.50% Notes were effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

On the Effective Date, the outstanding 5.50% Notes were cancelled and the 5.50% noteholders received shares of common stock of the Successor Company (or warrants) representing, in the aggregate, 16.1 % of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the Effective Date.

10. Leases

The Company leases office space, vehicles and office equipment under operating lease arrangements. The leases have initial lease terms ranging from one to five years. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal options to extend the lease, which if the Company determined it is reasonably certain to exercise, that renewal option would be included in the total lease term.

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the Company the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: (1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment), and (2) the Company has the right to control the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases where the Company is the lessee are included in ROU assets, Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determined the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) it uses to present value the unpaid lease payments, the lease term and lease payments.

ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its IBR. The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore, management uses its IBR based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease asset or liabilities comprised of fixed payments. The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company recognizes lease expense associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Successor

Preferred Stock

The Successor Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par values of $0.001 per share. As of June 30, 2019, there were no preferred shares outstanding.

Common Stock

The Successor Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of June 30, 2019, there were 9,360,968 shares issued and outstanding. Outstanding shares were issued to holders of Predecessor first lien obligations and convertible notes claims of 4,774,093 shares and Iroko and its affiliates of 4,586,875 shares.

Amended and Restated Charter and Bylaws

On February 1, 2019, in accordance with the Plan, the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and restated, the “A&R Charter”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, at which time the A&R Charter became effective. Among other things, the A&R Charter decreases the number of shares of authorized common stock of the Company from 275,000,000 to 100,000,000 and decreases the maximum number of directors that may serve on the Company’s Board of Directors to seven.

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “A&R Bylaws”) became effective. Among other things, the A&R Bylaws provide for special director nomination procedures, related party transaction approval procedures and independence requirements with respect to certain directors appointed by the Supporting Noteholders pursuant to the Plan (or such directors successors), in each case, for a two-year period following the Effective Date.

Effective June 3, 2019, the Company changed its name to Zyla Life Sciences by filing an amendment to the A&R Charter. A copy of the A&R Charger is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the A&R Bylaws were amended to reflect the name change to Zyla Life Sciences and to expressly permit communications between and among stockholders and directors of the Company by means of electronic transmissions. A copy of the By-laws, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Stockholders’ Agreement

Table of Contents

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a stockholders’ agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) with Iroko and certain of its affiliates. Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, Iroko and the other stockholder parties agreed to a customary lock-up with respect to their shares of common stock for a period of 90 days following the Effective Date and a customary standstill provision for a period of 24 months following the Effective Date, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the stockholder parties are entitled to designate two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as such entities hold 25% of the equity consideration received on the Effective Date. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for customary preemptive rights in favor of the stockholder parties with respect to future issuance of equity securities by the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

Warrant Agreements

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into warrant agreements (the “Warrant Agreements”) with Iroko, certain of Iroko’s affiliates and certain other parties entitled to receive shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or in satisfaction of certain claims pursuant to the Plan. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreements, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,972,365 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, subject to certain ownership limitations including, with respect to Iroko and its affiliates, that no such exercise may increase the aggregate ownership of such parties above 49% of the number of shares of its common stock then outstanding for a period of 18 months. All of the Company’s outstanding warrants have similar terms whereas under no circumstance may the warrants be net-cash settled. As such, all warrants are equity-classified.

Predecessor

In connection with the Company’s Plan of Reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy, all equity interests in the Predecessor Company were cancelled, including common stock and equity-based awards.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Iroko pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC, upon Iroko’s request at any time following the date which is 180 days following the date on which any equity securities of the Company are accepted for listing on any national securities exchange, a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, and thereafter to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as promptly as practicable, one or more registration statements for the offer and resale of the Company’s common stock held by Iroko and certain of its affiliates. The Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions with respect to blackout periods, underwrite cutbacks, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance in ASC 820 outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. In determining fair value, the Company maximizes the use of quoted prices and observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and models that are significant to the overall fair value m easurement.

Cash equivalents - Cash equivalents primarily consisted of money market funds with overnight liquidity and no stated maturities. The Company classified cash equivalents as Level 1, due to their short-term maturity, and measured the fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration - As of June 30, 2019, the Company had obligations to make contingent payment consideration for future royalties to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million . Pursuant to the Iroko Products Acquisition, the Company recorded the acquisition-date fair value of these contingent liabilities, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting date. The Company classified the acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities to be settled in cash as Level 3, due to the lack of relevant observable inputs and market activity. Changes in assumptions described above could have an impact on the payout of contingent consideration.

The following table reflects fair value hierarchy information about each major category of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured, at fair value on a recurring basis :, for the periods indicated

Balance at January 31, 2019	$	14,800
Change in fair value of contingent consideration		2,900
Balance at June 30, 2019	$	17,700

The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using an income approach based on projected INDOCIN product net sales and appropriate discount rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidation statements of operations. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the product net sales forecast and discount rates.

13. Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

On the Effective Date the Predecessor Company's equity was cancelled and new equity was issued. Additionally, the Predecessor Company's 5.50% and 6.50% Convertible Notes were cancelled. See Note 11 – Stockholders' Equity and Note 16 – Reorganization Items for further details.

Basic net loss per common share excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. 4,972,364 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants “penny warrants” are included in the number of outstanding shares used for the computation of basic and diluted loss per share.

14. Stock-Based Compensation

Successor

2019 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan

In March 2019, the Company adopted its 2019 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2019 Stock Plan”) for the benefit of employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The 2019 Stock Plan is designed to attract and retain valued employees, consultants and non-employee directors by offering them a greater stake in the Company’s success and a closer identity with it, and to encourage ownership of the Company’s stock by such persons. Under the 2019 Stock Plan, 2,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance, including 1,433,333 shares reserved for grants to executives and 716,667 shares reserved for persons other than executives, subject to equitable adjustment based on the effect of certain corporate transactions. The Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). In the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the right of a 2019 Stock Plan participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to performance goals as may be specified by the Compensation Committee. Awards granted to executives that are forfeited or otherwise terminate will once again be available for issuance to executives under the 2019 Stock Plan. Similarly, awards granted to persons other than executives that are forfeited or otherwise terminate will once again be available for issuance to persons who are not executives under the Stock Plan. Any award granted under the 2019 Stock Plan, including a common stock award, will be subject to mandatory repayment by the participant to the Company pursuant to the terms of any “clawback” or recoupment policy that is directly applicable to the 2019 Stock Plan and set forth in an award agreement or as required by applicable law.

For restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements, stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. All of the restricted stock awards and restricted stock units reflected above vest based on performance conditions or over time as stipulated in the individual award agreements. In the event of a change in control, the unvested awards will be accelerated and fully vested immediately prior to the change in control.

Restricted Stock Awards

Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2019 Stock Plan will be awarded pursuant to a time-based restricted stock unit agreement with the Company. On March 26, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a form of time-based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Time RSU Agreement”). The Time RSU Agreement provides for grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with two potential vesting schedules: (i) 1/3 of the RSUs vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant; and (ii) 100% of the RSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, in each case subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary date. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the 2019 Stock Plan) prior to a termination of the participant’s service, any remaining unvested time-based RSUs will vest and be settled immediately prior to the change of control.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

Performance-based RSUs granted under the 2019 Stock Plan will be awarded pursuant to a performance-based restricted stock unit agreement with the Company. On March 26, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved a form of performance-based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Performance RSU Agreement”). The Performance RSU Agreement provides for grants of RSUs, which only vest if the Company achieves at least 75% of its 2019 Corporate Goals, as set by the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2019, with the exact number of performance-based RSUs vesting pro-rated based on the level of achievement between 75% and 100%. 2019 Corporate Goals include financial performance, business development goals and other corporate metrics. Assuming those parameters are satisfied, the performance-based RSUs have two potential issuance schedules: (i) one with 50% of the performance-based RSUs eligible for issuance on each of March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021 and (ii) one with 100% of the performance-based RSUs eligible for issuance on March 1, 2020, in each case subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such anniversary date. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the 2019 Stock Plan) prior to a termination of the participant’s service, any remaining unvested performance-based RSUs will vest and be settled immediately prior to the change of control.

The following table reflects the Company’s restricted stock award (RSU) activity for the periods indicated:

On March 26, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company granted the following to certain executives of the Company:

511,000 time-based RSUs -

o 367,000 vest ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary; and,

144,000 vest 100% on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

509,000 performance-based RSUs -

367,000 are eligible to vest as follows: a maximum of 50% are eligible to vest on each of March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021 (provided that at least 75% of the Company’s 2019 Corporate Goals are attained — ratably, between 75% and 100% attainment); and,

142,000 of the performance-based RSUs are scheduled to vest as follows: a maximum of 100% are eligible to vest on March 1, 2020 (provided that at least 75% of the Company’s 2019 Corporate Goals are attained - ratably, between 75% and 100% attainment).

On April 23, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company granted 80,000 time-based RSUs to certain Directors of the Company. The April 2019 RSUs vest ratably over three years.

As of June 30, 2019, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs under the 2019 Plan was $4.7 million which will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining period of 1.9 years.

On May 21, 2019, The Compensation Committee of the Company granted 549,000 stock options to certain non-executive employees of the Company.

The per-share weighted-average grant date fair value of the stock options granted to employees during the Successor period February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.95 and $0.50, respectively, per share on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	Successor
	Period from
	February 1, 2019
	through
	June 30, 2019

Risk-free interest rate		2.27	%
Expected term of options (in years)		6.00
Expected volatility		80.00	%
Dividend yield		—

Table of Contents

The weighted-average valuation assumptions were determined as follows:

Risk-free interest rate: The Company based the risk-free interest rate on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period that is commensurate with the assumed expected option term.

Expected term of options: The Company estimated the expected life of its employee stock options using the “simplified” method, as prescribed in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, “Share Based Payments”, whereby the expected life equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to its lack of sufficient historical data.

Expected stock price volatility: The Company estimated the expected volatility based on its actual historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. The Company calculated the historical volatility by using daily closing prices over a period of the expected term of the associated award. A decrease in the expected volatility would have decreased the fair value of the underlying instrument.

Expected annual dividend yield: The Company estimated the expected dividend yield based on consideration of its historical dividend experience and future dividend expectations. The Company has not historically declared or paid dividends to stockholders. Moreover, it does not intend to pay dividends in the future, but instead expects to retain any earnings to invest in the continued growth of the business. Accordingly, the Company assumed an expected dividend yield of 0.0%.

As of June 30, 2019, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options under the 2019 Plan, which will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining period of 9.9 years.

Predecessor

The Predecessor Company’s common stock was cancelled and new common stock was issued on the Effective Date. Accordingly, the Predecessor Company’s then existing stock-based compensation awards were also cancelled, which resulted in the recognition of any previously unamortized expense on the date of cancellation. Stock-based compensation for the Successor and Predecessor periods are not comparable.

The Predecessor Company had granted stock-based awards that were cancelled upon emergence from bankruptcy. In conjunction with the cancellation, the Predecessor Company accelerated the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense and recorded $4.1 million of compensation expense in the period from January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019.

15. Restructuring and Other Charges

There were no restructuring and other charges during the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. The following table reflects the Company’s restructuring and other charges for the periods indicated:

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On January 27, 2017 and February 10, 2017, respectively, two putative securities class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania that named as defendants Egalet Corporation and current officer Robert S. Radie and former officers Stanley J. Musial and Jeffrey M. Dayno (the “Officer Defendants” and together with Egalet Corporation, the “Defendants”). These two complaints, captioned Mineff v. Egalet Corp. et al., No. 2:17-cv-00390-MMB and Klein v. Egalet Corp. et al., No. 2:17-cv-00617-MMB, assert securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) on behalf of putative classes of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Egalet Corporation securities between December 15, 2015 and January 9, 2017 and seek damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other expenses. On May 1, 2017, the Court entered an order consolidating the two cases (the “Securities Class Action Litigation”) before it, appointing the Egalet Investor Group (consisting of Joseph Spizzirri, Abdul Rahiman and Kyle Kobold) as lead plaintiff and approving their selection of lead and liaison counsel. On July 3, 2017, the plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint, which named the same Defendants and also asserted claims for purported violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs brought their claims individually and on behalf of a putative class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Egalet between November 4, 2015 and January 9, 2017 inclusive. The consolidated amended complaint based its claims on allegedly false and/or misleading statements and/or failures to disclose information about the likelihood that ARYMO ER would be approved for intranasal abuse-deterrent labeling. The Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on September 1, 2017 (the “Motion to Dismiss”), the plaintiffs filed their opposition on October 31, 2017, and the Defendants filed their reply on December 8, 2017. The Court heard oral arguments on the Motion to Dismiss on February 20, 2018 and entered an order pursuant to which the plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on March 6, 2018. The Defendants responded on March 20, 2018 and the plaintiffs filed their reply on March 27, 2018. The Court heard oral arguments on the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on July 12, 2018. On August 2, 2018, the Court granted the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss and dismissed the Securities Class Action Litigation with prejudice. On August 31, 2018, plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeal for the Third Circuit. On November 7, 2018, the Defendants filed a notice of suggestion of bankruptcy and unopposed motion to stay the appeal as to the Officer Defendants (the appeal was automatically stayed as to the Company upon the Chapter 11 filing). On February 6, 2019, the Officer Defendants filed a Notice of Lifting of Automatic Stay of Proceedings and Discharge of Subordinated Claims, as plaintiffs’ claim against us was extinguished as part of the bankruptcy, which restarted the appellate process. On April 22, 2019, plaintiffs filed their brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Defendants filed their brief on May 22, 2019 and Plaintiffs filed their reply on June 12, 2019. The Company disputes the allegations in the lawsuit and intend to defend these actions vigorously. The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from these lawsuits.

On October 30, 2018, the Company filed the Bankruptcy Petitions in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company requested that the Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) be jointly administered for procedural purposes only under the caption In re Egalet Corporation, et al., Case No. 18-12439. Upon filing, the Company intended to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company continued ordinary course operations substantially uninterrupted during the Chapter 11 Cases and sought approval from the Bankruptcy Court for relief under certain “first day” motions authorizing the Debtors to continue to conduct its business in the ordinary course. On January 14, 2019, the Court entered the Confirmation Order confirming the Plan under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, and substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Iroko Products Acquisition, the Plan became effective. On March 26, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases.

On May 1, 2019, the Company was served in a lawsuit entitled International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 728 Family Healthcare Plan v. Allergan, PLC, et al., which was filed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas (and subsequently coordinated with similar cases and transferred to the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas) on March 29, 2019 in which the Company was named as a defendant. In the lawsuit, plaintiff alleges that the Company, along with numerous other named defendants, manufactured, promoted, sold and distributed branded and generic opioid pharmaceutical products in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Florida and the City of Philadelphia. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants’ conduct has exacted a financial burden on the plaintiff which has unnecessarily spent considerably more on costs directly attributable to opioid use and over-use in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and City of Philadelphia. The Company disputes the allegations made in this lawsuit and intends to defend these actions vigorously. The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

On June 27, 2019, the Company was served in a lawsuit entitled L/S 150 Rouse Boulevard, LP vs. Zyla Life Sciences (f/k/a Egalet Corporation), Iroko Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals LLC, which was filed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas on June 26, 2019. The Complaint alleges that Iroko’s assets were fraudulently transferred to the Company in an attempt to avoid further payments under the lease for Iroko’s build-to-suit office space and seeks to impose a constructive trust on the Iroko assets that were transferred to the Company and/or on other Company property. In addition, L/S 150 Rouse is seeking a declaratory judgment that the Company is a successor-in-interest to Iroko and has successor liability for Iroko’s debts to L/S 150 Rouse. The amount of accelerated rent at issue is $8,731,141. L/S 150 Rouse is also seeking attorneys’ fees and litigation fees and costs. Damages related to this matter are indemnifiable under the Purchase Agreement and related documents. The Company disputes the allegations made in this lawsuit and intends to defend these actions vigorously. Iroko and various CRG entities have assumed the defense of this matter. The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

On August 7, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against iCeutica Inc. and iCeutica Pty Ltd. (together, the “Defendants”) seeking, among other things, declaratory and injunctive relief relating to the Defendants’ demand for reimbursement for patent activities in countries outside the United States in which the Company has expressly told the Defendants that the activities and expenditures are unreasonable in light of the Company’s current plans. The Company has asked the Court to prohibit the Defendants from terminating the license agreement and to toll the cure period pending resolution of the dispute over the expense reimbursement. The Company cannot assess the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

In January 2017, Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lupin Limited (together “Lupin”) notified iCeutica Pty Ltd. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC that Lupin had submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) to United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) requesting permission to manufacture and market a generic version of VIVLODEX® (meloxicam). In the notice, Lupin alleges that U.S. Patent No. 9,526,734 covering meloxicam is invalid as obvious and that Lupin’s generic product will not infringe any claim of the patent. On February 10, 2017, Plaintiffs iCeutica Pty Ltd. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC filed a complaint in the District Court for the District of Maryland alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,526,734 by Lupin under 35 U.S.C. sections 271(e)(2) and 271(a)-(b). On June 5, 2017, Lupin sent a second notice alleging that U.S. Patent No. 9,649,318 was invalid and not infringed. Plaintiffs

filed an amended complaint alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734 and 9,649,318 by the Lupin defendants under 35 U.S.C. sections 271(e)(2) and 271(a)-(b) on July 7, 2017. On February 1, 2018, the district court granted Lupin’s motion for summary judgment on non-infringement and dismissed Plaintiffs’ amended complaint. Plaintiffs filed a timely notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and filed their opening brief on July 13, 2018. Lupin filed its answering brief on October 22, 2018 and Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on January 4, 2019. With the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Iroko and the assignment of Iroko’s exclusive license to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734; 9,526,734; and 9,649,318 to the Company, Egalet was substituted for Iroko as a Plaintiff in this matter. The parties settled the lawsuit, with no cash payment required by the Company, and plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss the case. The Court dismissed the lawsuit on June 12, 2019.

In March 2018, Novitium Pharma LLC (“Novitium”) notified iCeutica Pty Ltd. and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC that Novitium had submitted an ANDA to FDA requesting permission to manufacture and market a generic version of VIVLODEX® (meloxicam). In the notice, Novitium alleges that its generic product will not infringe any claim of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734; 9,526,734; and 9,649,318. On April 20, 2018, Plaintiffs iCeutica Pty Ltd and Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC filed a complaint in the District Court for the District of Delaware alleging infringement of United States Patent Nos. 9,526,734, 9,649,318, and 9,808,468 by Novitium under 35 U.S.C. sections 271(e)(2) and 271(a)-(c). With the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Iroko and the assignment of Iroko’s exclusive license to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,526,734; 9,526,734; and 9,649,318 to the Company, Egalet was substituted for Iroko as a Plaintiff in this matter. The Company cannot determine the likelihood of, nor can it reasonably estimate the range of, any potential loss, if any, from this lawsuit.

Cosette Pharmaceuticals Supply Agreement

On January 31, 2019, as part of Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire products from Iroko, we assumed a Collaborative License, Exclusive Manufacture and Global Supply Agreement with Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly G&W Laboratories, Inc.) (the “Supply Agreement”) for the manufacture and supply of INDOCIN Suppositories to Zyla for commercial distribution in the United States. We are obligated to purchase all of our requirements for INDOCIN Suppositories from Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and are required to meet minimum purchase requirements for the calendar years 2019 and 2020. The term of the Supply Agreement extends through July 31, 2023, and there are no minimum requirements in any of the other subsequent years. Total commitments to Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc are $6.5 million in each of years 2019 and 2020.

Catalent Pharma Solutions Commercial Supply Agreement

On January 31, 2019, as part of our Iroko Products Purchase Agreement, we assumed a Commercial Supply Agreement (“CSA”) with Catalent Pharma Solutions (“Catalent”) for the manufacture of certain SoluMatrix products. Based on the CSA, we are obligated to purchase certain minimum amounts of manufacturing and product maintenance services on an annual basis for the term of the contract (“Minimum Requirement”) through September 2021. Total commitments to Catalent are $1.0 million through the period ending September 2021.

18. Acquisitions and License and Collaboration Agreements

Purchase Agreement with Iroko

On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Iroko pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company acquired certain assets and rights of Iroko, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as the “Transferred Assets,” and assumed certain liabilities of Iroko, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as the “Assumed Liabilities,” including assets related to Iroko’s marketed products, the SOLUMATRIX products under the iCeutica License Agreement and the INDOCIN products. The Iroko Products Acquisition was completed on January 31, 2019.

Table of Contents

iCeutica License Agreement

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company assumed the rights and obligations of Iroko and its subsidiaries pursuant to the Amended and Restated Nano-Reformulated Compound License Agreement, dated October 30, 2018 (the “iCeutica License”), with iCeutica Inc. and iCeutica Pty Ltd. (collectively, “iCeutica”) to license certain technology, intellectual property and expertise related to iCeutica’s SOLUMATRIX ® technology, meloxicam and certain other rights of iCeutica.

Pursuant to the iCeutica License, iCeutica granted to the Company (as the assignee of Iroko) a sole and exclusive, world-wide right and license under certain iCeutica intellectual property to make, use, sell, offer and import certain products made from the compounds indomethacin, diclofenac, naproxen and meloxicam. In consideration of the grant of the iCeutica License, the Company is obligated to pay to iCeutica a mid-single digit royalty on all Net Sales of any licensed products, including pro rata portions of any combination products that include a licensed product.

The iCeutica License will terminate on a country-by-country basis upon the expiration of the last-to-expire of any patent rights in such country, and otherwise twenty years after the date of the first commercial introduction of a licensed product in such country. Either party may terminate the license in its entirety if the other party materially breaches the License Agreement, subject to applicable cure periods. The iCeutica License also contains customary provisions for an agreement of this type related to intellectual property matters, confidentiality, representations and warranties and indemnification.

Iroko Royalty Arrangement

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Company was also obligated to pay to Iroko a 5% royalty payment on Net Sales of TIVORBEX, ZORVOLEX and the development product acquired on a quarterly basis. In May 2019, the Company agreed to pay approximately $0.8 million to satisfy the royalty payment terminating any obligation for future payments with respect to this agreement.

Collaboration and License Agreement with Acura

In January 2015, the Company entered into the OXAYDO License Agreement with Acura to commercialize OXAYDO tablets containing Acura’s Aversion Technology. OXAYDO (formerly known as Oxecta®) is currently approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States. in 5 mg and 7.5 mg strengths but was not actively marketed at the time of the OXAYDO License Agreement. Under the terms of the OXAYDO License Agreement, Acura transferred the approved New Drug Application (“NDA”) for OXAYDO to the Company and the Company was granted an exclusive license under Acura’s intellectual property rights for development and commercialization of OXAYDO worldwide in all strengths.

Under the OXAYDO License Agreement, Acura will be entitled to a one-time $12.5 million milestone payment when OXAYDO net sales reach a level of $150.0 million in a calendar year.

In addition, Acura receives from the Company, a tiered royalty percentage based on sales thresholds. Based on the Company’s current level of net sales, the royalty percentage payable to Acura is in the mid-single digits; however, the percentage may increase in future years in the event the Company achieves the higher sales thresholds set forth in the License Agreement. In addition, in any calendar year in which net sales exceed a specified threshold, Acura is entitled receive a double-digit royalty on all OXAYDO net sales in that year. The Company’s royalty payment obligations commenced on the first commercial sale of OXAYDO and expire, on a country-by-country basis, upon the expiration of the last to expire valid patent claim covering OXAYDO in such country (or if there are no patent claims in such country, then upon the expiration of the last valid claim in the U.S.). Royalties will be reduced upon the entry of generic equivalents, as well for payments required to be made by the Company to acquire intellectual property rights to commercialize OXAYDO, with an aggregate minimum floor. The term of the Acura license agreement expires, in its entirety, upon the final expiration of any such patent claim in any country. OXAYDO is currently sold in the United States and is covered by six U.S. patents that expire between 2023 and 2025. Patents covering OXAYDO in foreign jurisdictions expire in 2024. Either the Company or Acura may terminate the license agreement for certain customary

Table of Contents

reasons, including cause, insolvency or patent challenge. The Company may terminate the license agreement upon 90 days prior written notice.

Purchase Agreement with Luitpold

In January 2015, the Company entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by the SPRIX Purchase Agreement with Luitpold (the “SPRIX Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities associated with SPRIX Nasal Spray and the Company was assigned an exclusive license with Recordati Ireland Ltd. (“Recordati”) for intranasal formulations of ketorolac tromethamine (the “Licensed Product”), the active ingredient in SPRIX Nasal Spray. The Company is required to pay a fixed, single-digit royalty to Recordati on net sales of the Licensed Product. The exclusive term of the license agreement expires, on a country-by-country basis, on the later of the final expiration of any patent right in such country that contains a valid claim covering the Licensed Product, or ten years from the date of the first commercial sale of the Licensed Product in such country, and thereafter the Company will retain a non-exclusive, perpetual license in such country. In addition, during the exclusivity period with respect to the United States, Canada and Latin America, the royalty payable to Recordati is decreased if no patent containing a valid claim is in force in the country at the time of sale. SPRIX Nasal Spray is currently sold in the United States and the patent expired in December 2018 and the first commercial sale of SPRIX Nasal Spray in the United States occurred in May 2011.

19. Income Taxes

The Company had a deferred tax liability of $24,000 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively . The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets for federal and foreign purposes except for the net deferred tax liability as management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize these future tax benefits.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), enacted on December 22, 2017, became effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act had significant changes to U.S. tax law, including the lowering of U.S. corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and modified the taxation of other income and expense items. Due to the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, these provisions do not have any material impact on the Company.

The Tax Act contains additional international provisions which may impact the Company prospectively, including the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income. The Company does not believe the impact will be material given the historical losses in its international subsidiary and projected future losses.

Our Current Business

We are a commercial-stage life sciences company focused on marketing important treatments for patients and healthcare providers. Zyla Life Sciences currently has a portfolio of innovative treatments for pain and inflammation. We have seven commercially available products: SPRIX ® (ketorolac tromethamine) Nasal Spray, ZORVOLEX ® (diclofenac), INDOCIN ® (indomethacin) suppositories, VIVLODEX ® (meloxicam), TIVORBEX ® (indomethacin), , INDOCIN ® oral suspension and OXAYDO ® (oxycodone HCI, USP) tablets for oral use only —CII. To augment our current product portfolio, we are seeking to acquire additional product candidates or approved products.

Since we acquired and licensed SPRIX Nasal Spray and OXAYDO, respectively, we have built a fully scaled commercial organization focused on educating providers and treating individuals with pain and inflammation. We have evolved our business from opioids to non-narcotics, both with the acquisition of the Iroko products and an increased emphasis on the promotion of our NSAID SPRIX Nasal Spray. The Iroko products can be promoted with our existing salesforce with little additional expense. Prior to our acquisition of the five Iroko products, we had over 80 territories focused on similar targets. We added additional geographies where the Iroko products had been previously marketed. Our 87 sales representatives promote our products to approximately 8,000 healthcare providers in the United States. We believe that our focused targeting, sales force execution, proper brand positioning, message delivery and education, as well as our focus on ensuring proper product access to patients who require our therapies, will help us achieve our promotional goals. With our expanded commercial portfolio in place, we are looking at ways to maximize our assets through a multifaceted approach. We are analyzing our distribution model to look for efficiencies as well as new distribution strategies, evaluating our payer contracting strategy, working to improve our sales force targeting and assessing new ways to incentivize our sales representatives. Our goal is to maximize net revenue where we currently have business and build a sustainable growth model.

We plan to grow our business through our commercial revenue and potential business development opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as discussed in our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, other than as noted below.

Goodwill

We determined that no events have occurred or circumstances changed during the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 (Predecessor) that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of our reporting units below their respective carrying amounts. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

Acquisition-related contingent consideration

Pursuant to the Iroko Products Acquisition, we have obligations relating to contingent payment consideration for future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million . We recorded the acquisition-date fair value of these contingent liabilities, based on the likelihood of contingent earn-out payments. The earn-out payments are subsequently remeasured to fair value each reporting date. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in our

Net Product Sales

Net product sales increased by $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of $8.0 million for SPRIX Nasal Spray, $0.9 million for OXAYDO, $1.0 million for the SOLUMATRIX products and $12.1 million for INDOCIN products. Net product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of $5.4 million for SPRIX Nasal Spray, $1.7 million for OXAYDO and $0.4 million for ARYMO ER.

Cost of sales (excluding amortization of product rights)

Cost of sales (excluding amortization of product rights) increased by $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray, OXAYDO, SOLUMATRIX products and INDOCIN products reflects the fair value of finished goods inventory for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $0.8 million for the buyout of the Iroko Royalty Arrangement.

Table of Contents

Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray, OXAYDO and ARYMO ER for the three months ended June 30, 2018 reflects the average cost of inventory shipped to wholesalers and specialty pharmaceutical companies during the period.

Amortization of product rights

Amortization of product rights increased by $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Amortization of product rights relates to the INDOCIN, OXAYDO and SPRIX Nasal Spray intangible assets. The increase was due to the acquisition on January 31, 2019 of the INDOCIN product rights that were valued at $90.1 million and the increase in the value of the SPRIX Nasal Spray intangible assets to $31.9 million, offset in part by a decrease in the value of OXAYDO, as a result of a Fresh Start Accounting adjustment.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was due to an increase in administrative expenses of $1.5 million driven by legal and accounting fees, partially offset by a decrease in ARYMO ER and OXAYDO post-marketing study fees of $0.4 million and a decrease in salary and stock compensation expense of $0.5 million due to reduced headcount.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by a discontinuation of operating expenses that did not directly support the growth of our commercial business.

Restructuring and other charges

Restructuring and other charges of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflect costs related to the reduction of executive officers . There were no restructuring charges in the three month period ended June 30, 2018.

Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists of our future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million, was recorded on the acquisition date, January 31, 2019, at the estimated fair value of the obligation, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured quarterly. The change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.7 million. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to higher revenue projections and a decrease in the applicable discount rate.

Change in fair value of warrant and derivative liability

The interest make-whole provisions of the 6.50% Notes, as well as the warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in our July 2017 equity offering are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. Refer to Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements for further details. We recognize any change in fair value in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a change in fair value of the derivative liabilities. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a change in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $3.2 million. The 6.50% Notes were cancelled as a part of the reorganization.

Interest expense

The decrease of $0.2 million was driven primarily by the cancellation of the 5.50% Convertible Notes and 6.50% Convertible Notes as a result of our Chapter 11 filing.

The interest expense of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 includes non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount totaling $1.8 million.

Net product sales

Net product sales increased by $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of $13.2 million for SPRIX Nasal Spray, $2.0 million for OXAYDO, $4.8 million for the SOLUMATRIX products and $19.6 million for INDOCIN products. Net product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of $10.2 million for SPRIX Nasal Spray, $2.9 million for OXAYDO and $0.5 million for ARYMO ER.

Cost of sales (excluding amortization of product rights)

Cost of sales (excluding amortization of product rights) increased by $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray and OXAYDO reflect the average cost of inventory shipped to wholesalers and specialty pharmaceutical companies from January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019. Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray, OXAYDO, SOLUMATRIX products and INDOCIN products reflects the fair value of finished goods inventory for the period from February 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019. Cost of sales includes $0.8 million for the buyout of the Iroko Royalty Arrangement.

Cost of sales for SPRIX Nasal Spray, OXAYDO and ARYMO ER for the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects the average cost of inventory shipped to wholesalers and specialty pharmaceutical companies during the period. There was a charge related to the minimum manufacturing requirements for ARYMO ER of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018

Amortization of product rights

Amortization of product rights increased by $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Amortization of product rights relates to the INDOCIN, OXAYDO and SPRIX Nasal Spray intangible assets. The increase was due to the acquisition on January 31, 2019 of the INDOCIN product rights that were valued at $90.1 million and the increase in the value of the SPRIX Nasal Spray intangible assets to $31.9 million, offset in part by a decrease in the value of OXAYDO, as a result of a Fresh Start Accounting adjustment.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million, administrative fees of $1.5 million and consulting fees of $0.3 million. We recognized $3.5 million of unamortized stock-based compensation on January 31, 2019 as a result of the reorganization. These expenses were offset by a decrease in ARYMO ER and OXAYDO post-marketing study fees of $1.0 million and lower salary expense of $0.9 million due to reduced headcount.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in marketing expenses as a result of the discontinuation of promotion of ARYMO ER in September 2018 and a $0.4 million decrease in salary and stock compensation expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by a discontinuation of operating expenses that did not directly support the growth of our commercial business.

Restructuring and other charges of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflect costs of severance payments related to r eduction of executive officers and a reduction in force in our Denmark facility in January 2019. There were no restructuring charges in the six month period ended June 30, 2018.

Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists of our future royalty obligations to Iroko based upon annual INDOCIN product net sales over $20.0 million, was recorded on the acquisition date, January 31, 2019, at the estimated fair value of the obligation, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured quarterly. The change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration for the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was $2.9 million The change in fair value of the contingent consideration for the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to higher revenue projections and a decrease in the applicable discount rate.

Change in fair value of warrant and derivative liability

The interest make-whole provisions of the 6.50% Notes, as well as the warrant liability associated with the warrants issued in our July 2017 equity offering are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. Refer to Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements for further details. We recognize any change in fair value in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a change in fair value of the derivative liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized a change in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $8.3 million. The 6.50% Notes were cancelled as a part of the reorganization.

Interest expense

The decrease of $1.6 million was driven primarily by the cancellation of the 5.50% Convertible Notes and 6.50% Convertible Notes as a result of our Chapter 11 filing.

The interest expense of $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount totaling $2.9 million.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

We had no provision nor benefit for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018 since we have been in a full valuation allowance for federal and state purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have incurred net losses and generally negative cash flows from our operations. We incurred net loss of $30.1 million, net income of $107.2 million and net loss of $24.3 million for the period February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, the period January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Our operating activities used $13.8 million of cash during the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 , provided $0.8 million of cash for the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 and used $26.0 million of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2018 . At June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was $13.8 million and consisted primarily of a net loss of $30.1 million. The net loss was partially offset by $6.2 million in depreciation and amortization expense. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.5 million consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $17.1 million, offset by decrease in inventory of $19.3 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $2.8 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 was $0.8 million and consisted primarily of net income of $107.2 million. In addition to net income, there were reorganization items of $121.1 million. Net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $10.4 million primarily consisted of a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.9 million, a decrease in other receivables of $0.7 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $5.2 million.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six ended June 30, 2018 was $26.0 million and included a net loss of $24.3 million. Net non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operations were $2.8 million, and included $8.3 million in change in fair value of our derivative liability, partially offset by depreciation and amortization expense of $2.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million and non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount of $1.2 million. Net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.2 million consisted of an increase in accrued expenses of $6.8 million, offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $5.3 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million for the period from February 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019 and consisted of net proceeds from the Highbridge Credit Agreement.

Net cash used in financing activities was $19.1 million for the period from January 1, 2019 through January 31, 2019 and consisted of repayments to former 13% Noteholders.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and included $5.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our at-the-market offering.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We have not achieved profitability since our inception and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, sales and marketing expenses, manufacturing, commercial infrastructure, legal and other regulatory expense, business development opportunities and general overhead costs, including interest and principal repayments on indebtedness.

To date, we have been unable to achieve profitability, and with just our existing products and product candidates, we believe we are unlikely to achieve profitability in the future.

Until such time if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings and collaboration arrangements. In order to meet these additional cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or convertible debt securities that may result in dilution to our holders of our common stock. If we issue additional equity, the holders of our common stock will be diluted. The indenture governing the 13% Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to issue additional indebtedness. Although our ability to issue additional indebtedness is significantly limited by such covenants, if we raise additional funds through the issuance of convertible debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those of our Successor Zyla common stock and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. We may also seek to raise additional financing through the issuance of debt which, if available and permitted pursuant to the documents governing the 13% Senior Secured Notes, the Credit Agreement and any other indebtedness we may incur in the future, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants limiting our ability to take important actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through collaboration arrangements in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay any future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. In addition, certain agreements we entered into in connection with the consummation of the Iroko Products Acquisition and the Chapter 11 Cases further restrict and limit our ability to raise additional capital, including agreements with respect to pre-emptive rights. Accordingly, our ability to raise additional capital is restricted by these agreements as well.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $12.5 million. Even though we have emerged from bankruptcy and have funds available under the Credit Agreement, we continue to have significant indebtedness and our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful integration of the Iroko Products Acquisition, increasing our revenue, managing our expenses and complying with the terms of our new debt agreements. We cannot be certain that these initiatives will be successful.

Our current debt arrangements with holders of the Series A-1 and Series A-2 Notes as well as the Credit Agreement involve agreements that include minimum liquidity requirements and covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions. If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with

Table of Contents

pharmaceutical partners, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2019 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our uncertain ability to successfully integrate the Iroko Products into our business, increasing our revenue, managing our expenses and complying with the terms of our new debt agreements. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

JOBS Act

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, we can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are electing not to delay our adoption of such new or revised accounting standards. As a result of this election, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have limited exposure to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $12.5 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $40.7 million, consisting of money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. government agency securities and corporate debt securities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (“PEO”)/principal financial officer (“PFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our PEO/PFO, concluded that as of June 30, 2019 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our PEO/PFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDING S

Refer to Note 17 - Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated into this item by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The discussion of these risk factors is included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and is updated for the following:

If the licensor of our SoluMatrix products were to terminate its license agreement with us, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

We license the intellectual property for our SoluMatrix products from iCeutica Pty Ltd. On May 16, 2019, we received a notice of an alleged material breach of the license agreement with iCeutica due to a financial dispute over our refusal to reimburse iCeutica for patent activities in countries outside the United States in which we have expressly told iCeutica we have no current intention to market the products/the expense of maintaining the intellectual property is unreasonable. The license agreement permits iCeutica to terminate the agreement if certain material breaches are not cured within ninety (90) days. Since our receipt of the notice, we have attempted to engage in good faith negotiations concerning the issues, as required by the license agreement, and requested and obtained a three-week extension of the cure period. However, we were unable to reach a solution despite our efforts and filed a declaratory judgment action in the Delaware Chancery Court and are seeking a preliminary injunction to prohibit iCeutica from terminating the license agreement and to toll the cure period pending resolution of the contract dispute. If we are unable to get the injunction and fail to cure the breach, iCeutica may be able to terminate the agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We face intense competition, including from generic products. If our competitors market or develop generic versions of our products or alternative treatments that are marketed more effectively than our products or are demonstrated to be safer or more effective than our products, our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated.

Our products compete against numerous branded and generic products already being marketed and potentially those that are or will be in development. Many of these competitive products are offered in the United States by large, well‑capitalized companies. The NSAID market is highly competitive and we face competition from branded, generic and over-the-counter products. We cannot be sure that we will be able to sufficiently distinguish SPRIX or our SoluMatrix products to enable them to generate significant revenue.

If the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities approve generic products that compete with any of our products, it could reduce our sales of those products. Once an NDA, including a Section 505(b)(2) application, is approved, the product covered thereby becomes a “listed drug” which can, in turn, be cited by potential competitors in support of approval of an ANDA. The FFDCA, FDA regulations and other applicable regulations and policies provide incentives to manufacturers to create modified, non‑infringing versions of a drug to facilitate the approval of an ANDA or other application for generic substitutes. Depending on the product, these manufacturers might only be required to conduct a relatively inexpensive study to show that their product has the same active ingredient(s), dosage form, strength, route of

Table of Contents

administration, and conditions of use, or labeling, as our product and that the generic product is absorbed in the body at the same rate and to the same extent as, or is bioequivalent to, our products. Generic equivalents may be significantly less costly than ours to bring to market and companies that produce generic equivalents are often able to offer their products at lower prices. Thus, after the introduction of a generic competitor, a significant percentage of the sales of any branded product are typically lost to the generic product. Accordingly, competition from generic equivalents to our products would substantially limit our ability to generate revenues and therefore to obtain a return on the investments we have made in our products and product candidates. For example, the patent for SPRIX Nasal Spray expired in December 2018 and Indocin currently has no patent protection. We cannot be certain what impact generic products would have on our revenues from SPRIX Nasal Spray and Indocin, or our operating results generally, given that a significant portion of our revenue is derived from our sales of SPRIX Nasal Spray and Indocin. Prior to our purchase of products from Iroko, Iroko settled patent infringement litigation with Lupin, which settlement will allow Lupin to launch a generic form of ZORVOLEX prior to the expiration of the patents covering ZORVOLEX, no later than the second half 2023. In addition, iCeutica and Iroko sued Novitium and Lupin over their ANDAs for a generic version of VIVLODEX. While we settled with Lupin, the case with Novitium remains ongoing.

Our competitors may also develop branded products, devices or technologies that are more effective, better tolerated, subject to fewer or less severe side effects, more useful, more widely‑prescribed or accepted, or less costly than ours. For each product we commercialize, sales and marketing efficiency are likely to be significant competitive factors. While we have our own internal salesforce, which markets our products in the United States, there can be no assurance that we can maintain these capabilities in a manner that will be cost efficient and competitive with the sales and marketing efforts of our competitors, especially since some or all of those competitors could expend greater economic resources than we do and/or employ third‑party sales and marketing channels.

We face substantial competition, which may result in others commercializing products more successfully than we do.

We face and will continue to face competition from other companies in the pharmaceutical, medical devices and drug delivery industries. Our products compete a with currently marketed oral opioids, transdermal opioids, local anesthetic patches, stimulants and implantable and external infusion pumps that can be used for infusion of opioids and local anesthetics, non-narcotic analgesics, local and topical analgesics and antiarthritics. Products of these types are marketed or in development by Collegium Pharmaceuticals, Daichii, Depomed, Horizon Pharma, Boehringer Ingelheim, Pfizer, Almatica Pharma, Novartis and others. Some of these companies and many others are applying significant resources and expertise to the challenges of drug delivery, and several are focusing or may focus on drug delivery to the intended site of action. Some of these current and potential future competitors may be addressing the same therapeutic areas or indications as we are. Many of our competitors have substantially more marketing, manufacturing, financial, technical, human and managerial, and research and development resources than we do, and have more institutional experience than we do.

Competitors have developed or are in the process of developing technologies that are, or in the future may be, the basis for competitive products. Some of these products may have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing similar therapeutic effects than our products. Our competitors may develop products that are safer, more effective or less costly than our products and, therefore, present a serious competitive threat to our product offerings.

The widespread acceptance of currently available therapies with which our products compete may limit market acceptance of our products. Oral medication, transdermal drug delivery systems, such as drug patches, injectable products and implantable drug delivery devices are currently available treatments for chronic and post‑operative pain, are widely accepted in the medical community and have a long history of use. These treatments will compete with our products and the established use of these competitive products may limit the potential for our products to receive widespread acceptance.

Our competitors, particularly our larger competitors, may also have much more bargaining power than we do with various distributors and others in the pharmaceutical sales chain. As a result, our profit margins on our products may be lower, sometimes significantly lower, than our competitors’.

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Egalet Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal place of business located at 600 Lee Road, Suite 100, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087 (“Company”) and Barbara Carlin, an individual residing at ______________ (“Executive”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Employer” shall include Company and all of its divisions, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related entities, its and their past, present and future officers, directors, managers, trustees, members, shareholders, general and/or limited partners, insurers, attorneys, legal representatives, executives and agents and all of its and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

WHEREAS, Executive had been employed by Company for a period of time under the terms and conditions of an Employment Agreement entered into by and between Company and Executive dated as of March 6, 2018 (the “Employment Agreement”)(a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”); and

WHEREAS, Executive’s employment with Company is terminated, which termination is treated as a termination without Cause, effective on the earlier of the date of the Company’s 10-Q filing for the period ended March 31, 2019 or May 15, 2019 (the “Separation”); and

WHEREAS, Company desires to provide Executive with a severance package that both Company and Executive deem fair, reasonable and equitable; and

WHEREAS, Executive was presented with a severance package providing that Executive consult with Company for up to 20 hours per quarter during the Severance Period and, upon acceptance, in exchange for the benefits provided hereunder, hereby waives any benefits under Section 6 of the Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Company and Executive deem it to be in their mutual interest to amicably resolve any disputes which may exist between them concerning Executive’s employment and its cessation and to provide for the manner in which they will hereafter conduct themselves in relation to each other.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual promises as set forth herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein as if set forth at length.

2. Through the Separation, Executive shall continue to receive her Base Salary and all benefits that she is presently receiving pursuant to the Employment Agreement. As of the Separation, Executive shall also be paid any accrued but unused vacation or other paid leave time ordinarily paid to employees upon separation from employment through such date.

3. In settlement of all Released Claims (as defined below) Executive had, has or may have against Employer, as well as in exchange for the representations, warranties and covenants

made by Executive in this Agreement and up to 20 hours of consulting per 90-day quarter (the first such 90-day quarter beginning on the Separation) (a “quarter”) over the Severance Period, Company shall pay Executive, as severance, her normal semi-monthly base compensation at the time of termination for a 12-month period (an aggregate of Three Hundred Nine Thousand Dollars over a period of 12 months (the “Severance Period”) (i.e., semi-monthly payments of $12,875 each) (the “Periodic Severance Payments”). The Periodic Severance Payments required pursuant to this Paragraph of this Agreement shall: (i) be made less applicable federal, state and local withholdings and authorized deductions in accordance with Company’s normal payroll practices in effect from time to time and applicable law; (ii) begin to be made on or about Company’s next regularly scheduled payday that occurs after the later of (i) the Separation or (ii) 10 calendar days after receipt by Megan Timmins, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the original of this Agreement executed by Executive, as well as any other documentation required by this Agreement and written confirmation from Executive that she has not and is not exercising her right of revocation pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) be made payable to Executive; and (iv) either (x) be mailed to Executive at her address as set forth above or at another address provided to the individual then holding the office of Human Resources Manager of the Company in writing or (y) made via direct deposit to Executive’s payroll bank account of record with Company. Executive shall receive an IRS Form W-2 for the Periodic Severance Payments. Executive shall also be paid, in addition to and at the same time as the first Periodic Severance Payment, a lump sum benefit stipend equal to 102% of the total annual cost of her current group medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage (i.e., 1.02 x total monthly premium x 12).

4. In consideration of the promises and undertakings of Company under this Agreement, Executive makes the following representations, warranties and covenants:

(a) that for purposes of this Agreement, any reference to monies paid to or on behalf of Executive shall be deemed to be the entire gross amount of the payments required by the terms, and set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement; and

(b) that she has been afforded by Employer any and all rights she had or may have had under any and all family or medical leave law including, but not limited to, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and/or any otherwise applicable state or local leave law; and

(c) that, through the execution of this Agreement, she has been paid all wages, commissions and bonuses due to her including, but not limited to, any monies under any bonus, severance and/or incentive compensation plan. Executive further represents and warrants that, through the execution of this Agreement, she has received all sums due her under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and/or any otherwise applicable state or local wage and hour law; and

(d) that, after the Separation, she shall make herself available and cooperate in any reasonable manner in providing reasonable assistance to Employer in concluding any business and/or legal matters which are presently pending and in connection with any such matters that may arise in the future which relate to her employment with Employer, including by providing consulting services to the Company for up to twenty (20) hours per quarter during the severance period; provided such cooperation, assistance and consulting shall not unreasonably interfere with

any subsequent employment obtained by Executive. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, answering questions regarding any previous or current project Executive worked on while employed by Company so as to insure a smooth transition of responsibilities and to minimize any adverse consequences of Executive’s departure. Employer shall have no obligation to compensate Executive for said time other than as set forth in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the amount of time that Executive will be required to devote to performing consulting and/or any other services under this Agreement after the Separation shall be less than, and shall in no event be equal to or exceed, 20% of the average amount of time Executive devoted to her service with the Company during the three year period immediately preceding the Separation; and (ii) accordingly, Executive’s termination of employment as of the Separation shall constitute a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Subparagraph of this Agreement, Executive shall be reimbursed by Company for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by her as a result of her performance of her obligations under this Subparagraph of this Agreement, provided Executive receives the prior written approval for the expenses from the individual then holding the office of President of the Company. In the event Company requests Executive to perform services pursuant to this Subparagraph of this Agreement, such work shall not be deemed a violation or breach of Subparagraph 3(j) of this Agreement; and

(e) that she has returned to Employer all property of Employer in her possession or control which refer or relate to Employer's business, or which are otherwise the property of Employer, including, but not limited to, all confidential and proprietary business information, papers, documents, letters, invoices, sales records and reports, notes, memoranda, keys, security cards, records, Executive and human resource records, customer and supplier lists, customer and supplier materials or documents, computers, BlackBerry/PDA/iPhone, computer data, office equipment, and employment records, which were created by Executive or other Executives, agents and customers or suppliers of Employer in the course of their employment and/or relationship with Employer, as well as copies or multiple versions thereof, regardless of the form or medium retained or stored in (including hard copy or electronic or digital form); and

(f) that as an Executive of Employer she had access to and was entrusted with Employer’s confidential and proprietary business information and trade secrets. At all times prior to, during, and following Executive’s Separation she has maintained and will maintain such information in strict confidence and has not disclosed and will not disclose the information to any third party without the prior written consent of the individual then holding the office of President, Company; and

(g) that she shall not receive any other payment from Employer other than that set forth in this Agreement including, but not limited to, any bonuses, compensation, incentive compensation, and/or commissions; and

(h) that, after the Separation, she shall reasonably cooperate with Employer in the defense of any claim currently pending or hereinafter pursued against Employer without the payment of any additional compensation other than as set forth in this Agreement. Such cooperation, includes, but is not limited to, meeting with internal Company Executives to discuss and review issues which Executive was directly or indirectly involved with during employment

with Company, participating in any investigation conducted by Company either internally or by outside counsel or consultants, signing declarations or witness statements, preparing for and serving as a witness in any civil or administrative proceeding by both depositions or a witness at trial, reviewing documents and similar activities that Company deems necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Subparagraph of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Company for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by her as a result of her performance of her obligations under this Subparagraph of this Agreement, provided Executive receives the prior written approval for the expenses from the individual then holding the office of President, Company. In the event Company requests Executive to perform services pursuant to this Subparagraph of this Agreement, such work shall not be deemed a violation or breach of Subparagraph 3(j) of this Agreement. Furthermore, Executive has not and shall not initiate, commence, voluntarily cooperate with or provide assistance including, but not limited to, testimony or consultative services, in any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding, investigation, inquiry, or similar activity in which the Company is a party, target, subject, witness, or is otherwise required to assist another party, whether due to a contractual provision or otherwise, whether governmental or private, whether pending or otherwise, without obtaining the prior written consent of the individual then holding the office of President of the Company. In the case of legal proceedings, Executive shall notify, in writing, the individual then holding the office of President of the Company, of any subpoena or other similar notice to give testimony or provide documentation (“Notice”) within two business days of receipt of said Notice and prior to providing any response to said Notice such that Employer may have an opportunity to seek and obtain, among other things, an appropriate protective order or seek intervention in the matter; and

(i) that she has not and shall not take any action, directly or indirectly, which is contrary to the interests of Employer or make any disparaging, untrue, negative, derogatory or defamatory remarks concerning Employer or its business practices, with the Company, defined for purposes of this sub-section as Robert Radie and Mark Strobeck, likewise agreeing not to make any disparaging, untrue, negative, derogatory or defamatory remarks concerning Executive, except that, in the case of remarks by either Executive or the Company, this sub-paragraph shall not apply to statements that a party is legally required to make, or that are made in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; and

(j) that she shall not be re-employed by Employer as an Executive, independent contractor, consultant (except as set forth herein) or otherwise and that she shall not apply for or otherwise seek employment or engagement with Employer at any time hereinafter; and

(k) that she has not and will not access or attempt to access any property, computer systems, networks, password protected data or other property of the Employer on or after the Separation except in the performance of her consulting responsibilities; and

(l) that she has not sustained any injuries and/or illnesses/diseases as a result of her employment with or by Employer that would otherwise be covered by any otherwise applicable workers’ compensation insurance benefit plan; and

(m) that she unconditionally releases and forever discharges Employer (whether individually or collectively) from any and all causes of action, suits, damages, grievances, demands, liabilities, defenses, debts, dues, sums of monies, accounts, covenants, controversies,

promises, variances, claims, judgments, interest, attorneys’ fees, liquidated damages, costs and expenses whatsoever accruing or arising through the execution of this Agreement and relating to, or in connection with, Executive’s employment by Employer or cessation/termination thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, liquidated or un-liquidated, matured or un-matured, in law, equity or otherwise, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any breach of contract claims (whether written or oral, express or implied); claims arising out or related to the Employment Agreement; claims arising out of or related to any offer letter or similar document; claims arising out of or related to any Executive handbook, personnel manual or employment policy; estoppel claims; tort claims; claims for invasion of privacy; claims for loss of consortium; claims for duress; claims of discrimination; claims for compensatory and/or punitive damages; public policy claims; defamation claims; claims of retaliation; claims of wrongful discharge or termination; claims for breach of promise; claims of negligence; claims of impairment of economic opportunity or loss of business opportunity; claims of fraud or misrepresentation (negligent or intentional); claims for severance offers made prior to the date Executive signs this Agreement other than as set forth in this Agreement; claims for abuse of process; claims for workers’ compensation benefits; claims of promissory estoppel; claims for quantum meruit; claims for unjust enrichment; claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; claims of unfair labor practices; claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”); claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (“TITLE VII”); claims under the Executive Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (excluding claims for vested benefits); claims under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (“IRCA”); claims under the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”); claims under the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”); claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”); claims under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (“USERRA”); claims under the National Labor Relations Act (“NLRA”); claims under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”); claims under the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (“GINA”); claims under the Constitution of the United States of America; claims under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (“PHRA”); claims under the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection law (“PWPCL”); claims under the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; claims under any other federal, state or local anti-discrimination law, whistle-blowing law, family and/or medical leave law and/or wage and hour law; claims for benefits including, but not limited to, life insurance, accidental death and disability insurance, sick leave or other employer provided plan or program; claims for distributions of income or profit; claims for royalties; claims for license fees; claims for ownership, stock, stock options, equity or otherwise; claims for reimbursement; claims for wages, commissions or bonuses; claims for incentive compensation; claims for salary continuation benefits other than as set forth in this Agreement; claims for vacation or other leave time; claims for royalties or license fees; claims for patent, copyright or trademark infringement; claims relating to retirement, pension and/or profit sharing plans (excluding claims for vested benefits); claims for attorneys’ fees and/or costs; claims for, or arising out of the offering of, group health insurance coverage (excluding claims for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) coverage and/or similar state or federally mandated continuation coverage) or the use of information obtained by Employer as a result of the offering of group health and/or any other insurance coverage; claims against the Employer Health Plan as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”); claims relating to Executive’s application for hire, employment, or termination

thereof, as well as any claims which Executive may have arising under or in connection with any and all local, state or federal ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, executive orders or common law, from the beginning of the world up to and including the date of Executive’s execution of this Agreement (“Released Claims”). The only exclusions from Released Claims are (i) any claims accruing or arising after the execution of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that some term of this Agreement has been violated; (ii) any claims for indemnity or contribution in the event Executive is named or threatened to be named in any lawsuit or other proceeding arising out of the services she performed for the Company; and (iii) any claims that cannot be legally released by private agreement (including, but not limited to, claims for unemployment compensation, which the Company agrees not to oppose if filed by Executive, provided that the Company reserves the right to reply accurately to all information requests from any state unemployment compensation agency including reporting the benefits paid or payable under this Agreement); and

(n) that in giving the general release as set forth in Subparagraph 3(m) of this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that she understands the significance and consequence of such release and waiver. Furthermore, that in giving the general release as set forth in Subparagraph 3(m) of this Agreement, Executive specifically acknowledges that she may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which s/he now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, may have materially affected this Agreement. Nevertheless, Executive hereby waives any right, claim or cause of action that might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts. Executive acknowledges that s/he understands the significance and consequence of such release and waiver.

5. Executive acknowledges and confirms that that she is waiving any claims under the ADEA as amended by the OWBPA and that:

(a) she is receiving consideration which is in addition to anything of value to which s/he otherwise would have been entitled; and

(b) this Agreement is written in a manner understood by Executive and that she fully understands the terms of this Agreement and enters into it voluntarily without any coercion on the part of any person or entity; and

(c) she was given adequate time to consider all implications and to freely and fully consult with and seek the advice of whomever s/he deemed appropriate and has done so; and

(d) s/he acknowledges and confirms that s/he was not eligible to participate in any other severance offer from Employer; and

(e) the consideration paid or provided to Executive under this Agreement is and shall be deemed to be adequate consideration for the representations, warranties and covenants made by Executive under this Agreement; and

(f) she was advised in writing, by way of this Agreement, to consult an attorney before signing this Agreement; and

(g) she was advised that she has had at least 21 calendar days within which to consider this Agreement before signing it and, in the event that s/he signs this Agreement during this time period, said signing constitutes a knowing and voluntary waiver of this time period; and

(h) she has seven calendar days after executing this Agreement within which to revoke this Agreement. If the seventh day is a weekend or national holiday, Executive has until the next business day to revoke. If Executive elects to revoke this Agreement, she shall notify Megan Timmins, SVP, General Counsel and Secretary in writing sent by Federal Express Priority Overnight delivery, or by hand delivery with written receipt, of her revocation. Any determination of whether Executive’s revocation was timely sent shall be determined by the date of actual receipt by Megan Timmins. If Executive does not elect to revoke this Agreement, she shall notify Megan Timmins in writing of her non-revocation decision on or after the eighth calendar day after Executive executes this Agreement (a form of non-revocation letter is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”). Any determination of whether Executive’s non-revocation was timely sent shall be determined by the date of actual receipt by Megan Timmins’. No payment shall be made under this Agreement until Megan Timmins receives notice of Executive’s non-revocation decision as set forth in this Agreement as well as any other documentation required by this Agreement.

6. Executive represents and warrants that neither she nor anyone on her behalf has filed any suits, claims or the like regarding her employment with Employer and/or its termination. To the extent that Executive or any third party seeks redress for a Released Claim covered and released by this Agreement and a settlement or judgment of said Released Claim is reached or entered, Executive shall designate Company as the recipient of any such monies allocated to her by the payor or, if that is not possible, Executive shall pay to Company the amount received from the payor within 72 hours of Executive’s receipt of said monies.

7. Executive has not and shall not, without the prior written consent of the individual then holding the office of President of the Company, disclose the terms of this Agreement, including, but not by way of limitation, the amount or fact of any payment to be made under this Agreement or any of the facts or events surrounding or leading to this Agreement (including any characterization thereof) to any person (including, but not limited to, current or former Executives of Employer) or entity other than to her spouse, attorneys, tax or financial advisors for the purpose of confidential legal or financial counseling, or to lenders in connection with a loan application. Executive may also disclose the terms of this Agreement as required by law, or for purposes of enforcement of this Agreement, and may disclose her post-employment obligations (including those set forth in Sections 7, 8 and 9 of the Employment Agreement) to any potential employer. In the event that Executive makes a disclosure permitted by this provision, she shall inform the individual or entity to whom disclosure is made of this confidentiality provision, and instruct such individual or entity that any breach of confidentiality by them would constitute a breach of this Agreement.

8. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Executive (or anyone to whom she makes a disclosure to pursuant to Paragraph 6 of this Agreement) materially breaches the terms of this Agreement, Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall immediately cease and be deemed modified such that Company’s obligations pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall be limited to Five Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($500.00) and all monies actually paid to or on behalf of

I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
