Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. Dollarsdollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of net salesrevenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mallinckrodt plc,the Company, its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which they own or control more than fifty percent50% of the voting shares, or have the ability to control through similar rights. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the results reported. The results of entities disposed of are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements up to the date of disposal, and where appropriate, these operations have been reflected asreported in discontinued operations. Divestitures of product lines and businesses that did not qualify asmeeting the criteria for discontinued operations have been reflected in operating income. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim results reported. The December 30, 2016fiscal year end balance sheet data was derived from the unaudited condensedaudited consolidated financial statements, but doesdo not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated and combined financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the periodfiscal year ended September 30, 2016,December 28, 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 29, 2016.February 26, 2019.

2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2017-04, "Intangibles2018-02, "Income Statement - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," in January 2017.February 2018. This update eliminates step 2ASU allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects arising from the goodwill impairment test, and requireschange in the goodwill impairment testreduction of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.21%. The Company early adopted this standard as of day 1 of fiscal 2019, which resulted in fiscal 2017, which did not have a materialreclassification between AOCI and retained deficit of $0.5 million, and had no impact toon the unaudited condensed consolidatedCompany's results of operations or financial statements. The Company will apply this standard to prospective goodwill impairment tests.position.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory,2016-02, "Leases," in OctoberFebruary 2016. This update simplifiesASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the practice of how income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory should be recognized. Upon adoption, the entity must recognize such income tax consequences when the intra-entity transfer occurs rather than waiting until such timebalance sheet as the asset has been sold to an outside party. The Company early adopted this standard in fiscal 2017, which resulted in a $75.0 million decrease to beginning retained earnings with an offsetting decrease of $67.2 million to other assetslease liability and a $7.8 million decrease to prepaid expenses on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The prior periods were not restated.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," in August 2016 and ASU 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," in November 2016. These updates provide guidance for nine targeted clarifications with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The Company early adopted these standards in fiscal 2017 and revised the prior year statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-18, regarding presentation of restricted cash, increased the net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 by $47.4 million. The adoption of ASU 2016-15, regarding the other targeted clarifications, did not result in any material changes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Stock Compensation," in March 2016. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of certain tax effects within the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance in fiscal 2017, which resulted in a $2.9 million increase to beginning retained earnings to recognize net operating loss carryforwards, net of a valuation allowance, attributable to excess tax benefits on stock compensation that had not been previously recognized in additional paid-in capital.
The FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments," in September 2015. This update requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjusting amounts are determined. The amendments in this update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The Company adopted this standard in fiscal 2017, which did not have any impact on historical acquisitions.
The FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," in July 2015. The issuance of this update is part of the FASB's initiative to more closely align the measurement of inventory between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Under the new guidance, inventory must be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this standard in fiscal 2017, which did not have a material impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted
The FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" in August 2017. This update simplifies the application of hedge accounting and enhances the economics of the entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The update amends the guidance on designation and measurement for qualifying hedging relationships requiring the application of a modified retrospective approach on the date of adoption. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is assessing the timing of adoption and the impact of this guidance on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting," in May 2017. Under the new guidance, the effects of a modification should be accounted for unless all of the following are met: (1) the fair value or calculated intrinsic value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award


immediately before the original award is modified; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company expects the impact of this guidance to be immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
The FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post Retirement Benefit Cost," in March 2017. This update requires that the service cost component be disaggregated from the other components of net benefit cost. Service cost should be reported in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost should be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company expects the impact of this guidance to be immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
The FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business," in January 2017. This update provides a screen to determine whether or not a set of assets is a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this update (1) require that to be considered a business, a set of assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Depending upon the individual facts and circumstances of future transactions, this guidance may result in more transactions being accounted for as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations.
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," in May 2014. The issuance of ASU 2014-09 and IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," completes the joint effort by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and IFRS. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.right-of-use asset. The FASB subsequently issued additional ASUs to clarify the guidance inof ASU 2014-09. The ASUs issued include ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers;2016-02 ("Topic 842," ASU 2016-10 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing;" and ASU 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.") as amended. The Company has completedadopted this standard as of day 1 of fiscal 2019 utilizing the modified transition approach expedient which allows an entity to elect not to recast its assessmentcomparative periods in the period of certain customer arrangementsadoption. In addition, the Company elected to use the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and has preliminarily assessed certain other customer arrangements basedcorresponding liabilities of $83.1 million and $99.7 million, respectively, as of day 1 of fiscal 2019. Refer to Note 9 for further details on the nature of its business; and at this time, the Company does not anticipate a significant impact upon adoption. However, the assessment is ongoing and a more detailed analysis of contracts subject to the preliminary assessment or review of additional contracts may identify a more significant impact. The Company currently expects, in part due to the limited anticipated impact, that it will utilize the modified retrospective transition approach of adopting the ASU.Company's leases.
The Company's status of various ASUs are further described within the notes to the financial statements included within the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

 Non-Amortizable
The IPR&D intangible assets relates to stannsoporfin. The fair value of the IPR&D was determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of fair value of the assets based on the market participant expectations of cash flows the asset would generate. The cash flows were discounted at a rate of 13.5%. The IPR&D discount rate for stannsoporfin was developed after assigning a probability of success to achieving the projected cash flows based on the current stage of development, inherent uncertainty in the FDA approval process and risks associated with commercialization of a new product. Based on the Company's preliminary estimate, the excess of purchase price over net tangible and intangible assets acquired resulted in goodwill, which represents future product development, the assembled workforce, and the tax status of the transaction. The goodwill is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. All assets acquired are included within the Company's Specialty Brands segment.

7.6.Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares represent the incremental ordinary shares issuable for restricted share units and share option exercises. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted share units and share options on earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Dilutive securities, including participating securities, are not included in the computation of loss per share when the Company reports a net loss from continuing operations as the impact would be anti-dilutive.


The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in millions):

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. As the Company's leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 29, 2018 for leases that commenced prior to that date. Most leases include one or more options to terminate or renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the endCompany's sole discretion. Termination and renewal options are included within the lease assets and liabilities only to the extent they are reasonably certain.

10.Intangible Assets

Stannsoporfin
During the ninethree months ended September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, the grossCompany recognized a full impairment on its in-process research and development ("IPR&D") asset related to stannsoporfin of $113.5 million as the Company will no longer pursue this development product. 

VTS-270
VTS-270 is the Company’s development product to treat Niemann-Pick Type C, a complicated, ultra-rare neurodegenerative disease that typically presents in childhood and is ultimately fatal. The results of the Company’s completed registration trial for the



product did not show a statistically significant separation from placebo. Neither the VTS-270 nor the placebo arm showed disease progression as would be expected for a neurodegenerative condition over 52 weeks of observation. The Company is in the process of evaluating this portion of the study in order to ensure the data was properly captured and of the highest quality. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") indicated to the Company at a Type A meeting in August 2018 that their view on the potential approvability will be based on the totality of data, not a single study or endpoint. Accordingly, the Company’s review of the data from the Phase 2b/3 trial, including the longer term open label portion, continues to proceed and is being assessed in combination with several other available data sources. A better understanding of the potential benefit of VTS-270 will emerge as the Company carefully considers the totality of data available and continues to work with the primary investigators and the FDA to determine the best path forward. The Company will continue to assess the impact of any changes to planned revenue or earnings on the fair value of the associated IPR&D asset of $274.5 million included within intangible assets, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2019.
The Company annually tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable by either a qualitative or income approach. Management relies on a number of goodwill withinqualitative factors when considering a potential impairment such as changes to planned revenue or earnings that could affect significant inputs used to determine the Specialty Brands segment decreased by $38.6 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to the salefair value of the Intrathecal Therapy business to Piramal. The Company ascribed $49.8 million of goodwill to that business and it was factored into the gain on sale of the business. The decrease was offset by $13.3 million attributable to the InfaCare Acquisition. The remaining change in goodwill was related to a purchase accounting adjustment for the Stratatech Acquisition primarily attributable to changes in deferred tax balances.indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Ofirmev®
Since the Company's acquisition of Ofirmev in March 2014, the related completed technology intangible asset had been amortized using the straight-line method over a useful life of eight years. As the product nears loss of exclusivity, the Company believes it is better positioned to reliably determine the pattern in which the remaining economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. As a result, during the six months ended June 28, 2019 the Company concluded that the sum of the years digits method, an accelerated method of amortization, would more accurately reflect the consumption of the economic benefits over the remaining useful life of the asset. This change in amortization method resulted in additional amortization expense of $29.8 million and $65.7 million during the three and six months ended June 28, 2019, respectively, which impacted basic earnings per share for the respective periods by $0.36 and $0.78 per share.

On July 28, 2017, Mallinckrodt Securitization S.à r.l. ("Mallinckrodt Securitization"), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $250.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility ("the Receivable Securitization") with a three year term. Mallinckrodt Securitization may, from time to time, obtain up to $250.0 million in third-party borrowings secured by certain receivables. The borrowings under the Receivable Securitization are to be repaid as the secured receivables are collected. Loans under the Receivable Securitization will bear interest (including facility fees) at a rate equal to one month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 0.9%. Unused commitments on the Receivables Securitization are subject to an annual commitment fee of 0.4%. The Receivable Securitization agreements contain customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants. The size of the securitization facility may be increased to $300.0 million upon approval of the third-party lenders.

On February 28, 2017, Mallinckrodt International Finance, S.A. ("MIFSA") and Mallinckrodt CB LLC ("MCB") refinanced the March 2014 and August 2014 term loans, both of which were due in March 2021 ("the Existing Term Loans"). The refinanced term loans had an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,865.0 million, are due in September 2024 and bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% ("the 2017 Term Loan").

The Company accounted for the term loan refinancing as a debt modification.



In conjunction with the term loan refinancing, MIFSA and MCB replaced the existing revolving credit facility of $500.0 million due in March 2019 with a $900.0 million facility that matures on February 28, 2022 ("the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility"). The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility reduced the letter of credit provision from $150.0 million to $50.0 million. Unused commitments under the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to an annual commitment fee of 0.275%. Fees applied to outstanding letters of credit is based on the interest rate applied to borrowings. The


2017 Revolving Credit Facility added certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers, in addition to Mallinckrodt plc, MIFSA and MCB.

The Company assesses the probability of potential liabilities related to such representations, warranties and indemnities and adjusts potential liabilities as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. The Company believes, given the information currently available, that theirthe ultimate resolutions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In connection with the sale of the Specialty Chemicals business (formerly known as Mallinckrodt Baker) in fiscal 2010, the Company agreed to indemnify the purchaser with respect to various matters, including certain environmental, health, safety, tax and other matters. The indemnification obligations relating to certain environmental, health and safety matters have a term of 17 years from the sale, while some of the other indemnification obligations have an indefinite term. The amount of the liability relating to all of these indemnification obligations included in other liabilities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 29, 2017June 28, 2019 and December 30, 201628, 2018 was $14.9$15.0 million and $15.1$14.6 million, respectively, of which $12.2$12.6 million and $12.4$11.8 million, respectively, related to environmental, health and safety matters. The value of the environmental, health and safety indemnity was measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the costs expected to be incurred to address environmental, health and



safety claims made under the indemnity. The aggregate fair value of these indemnification obligations did not differ significantly from their aggregate carrying value at September 29, 2017as of June 28, 2019 and December 30, 2016.28, 2018. As of September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, the maximum future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification obligations were $70.2 million.

Such agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility of the obligations and liabilities of the Company's business with the Company and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Covidien's remaining business with Covidien, among other indemnities.


16.14.Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims, product liability matters, personal injury, environmental matters, employment disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes, including those described below. The Company believes that these legal proceedings and claims likely will be resolved over an extended period of time.

Governmental Proceedings
Opioid RelatedOpioid-Related Matters
Since 2017, multiple U.S. states, counties, other governmental persons or entities and private plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against certain entities of the Company, as well as various other manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, individual doctors and/or others, asserting claims relating to defendants’ alleged sales, marketing, distribution, reimbursement, prescribing, dispensing and/or other practices with respect to prescription opioid medications, including certain of the Company's products. As of August 6, 2019, the cases the Company is aware of include, but are not limited to, approximately 2,153 cases filed by counties, cities, Native American tribes and/or other government-related persons or entities; approximately 140 cases filed by hospitals, health systems, unions, health and welfare funds or other third-party payers; approximately 103 cases filed by individuals and 10 cases filed by the Attorneys General for New Mexico, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Georgia, Florida, Alaska, New York, Hawaii, Nevada and Idaho, with Idaho being the only state Attorney General to file in federal as opposed to state court. Certain of the lawsuits have been filed as putative class actions.
Most pending federal lawsuits have been coordinated in a federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The CompanyMDL court has been namedissued a series of case management orders permitting motion practice addressing threshold legal issues in several lawsuitscertain cases, allowing discovery, setting pre-trial deadlines and setting a trial date on October 21, 2019 for two cases originally filed in federal court broughtthe Northern District of Ohio by various countiesSummit County and cities, along with otherCuyahoga County against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and often, distributors.pharmacies. The counties claim that opioid manufacturers' marketing activities changed the medical standard of care for treating both chronic and acute pain, which led to increases in the sales of their prescription opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers’ and distributors’ failure to maintain effective controls against diversion was a substantial cause of the opioid crisis.
Other lawsuits remain pending in various state courts. In general,some jurisdictions, such as Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia, certain of the 235 state lawsuits have been coordinated for pre-trial proceedings before a single court within their respective state court systems. State cases are generally at the pleading and/or discovery stage.
The lawsuits assert a variety of claims, ofincluding, but not limited to, public nuisance, negligence, civil conspiracy, fraud, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) or similar state laws, violations of state Controlled Substances Acts or state False Claims Acts, product liability, consumer fraud, unfair or deceptive trade practices, false advertising, insurance fraud, unjust enrichment and other common law and statutory claims arising from defendants’ manufacturing, distribution, marketing and promotion of opioids and seek restitution, damages, injunctive and other relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. TheseThe claims have been filed generally are based on alleged misrepresentations and/or amendedomissions in connection with the sale and marketing of prescription opioid medications and/or an alleged failure to includetake adequate steps to prevent abuse and diversion.



The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against all of these lawsuits as detailed above and similar lawsuits that may be brought by others. Since these lawsuits are in early stages, the Company is unable to predict outcomes or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses.
In addition to the lawsuits described above, certain entities of the Company have received subpoenas and civil investigative demands ("CID(s)") for information concerning the sale, marketing and/or distribution of prescription opioid medications and the Company's suspicious order monitoring programs, including from the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Attorneys General for Missouri, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Washington, Alaska, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, New York, West Virginia, Indiana and the Divisions of Consumer Protection and Occupational and Professional Licensing of the Utah Department of Commerce. The Company has been contacted by the coalition of State Attorneys General investigating the role manufacturers and distributors may have had in contributing to the increased use of opioids in the U.S. On January 27, 2018, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorneys’ Office (“USAO”) for the Southern District of Florida for documents related to the distribution, marketing and sale of generic oxymorphone products. On April 17, 2019, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the USAO for the Eastern District of New York ("EDNY") for documents related to the sales and marketing of controlled substances, the policies and procedures regarding controlled substances, and other related documents. On June 4, 2019, the Company received a rider from the USAO for EDNY requesting additional documents regarding the Company's anti-diversion program. The Company is responding or has responded to these subpoenas, CIDs and any informal requests for documents.
In August 2018, the Company received a letter from the leaders of the Energy and Commerce Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives requesting a range of documents relating to its marketing and distribution of opioids. The Company completed its response to this letter in December 2018. The Company will cooperate with the investigation, which is expected to continue and may ultimately result in a congressional hearing in the second half of 2019.
The Attorneys General for Kentucky, Alaska and New York have subsequently filed lawsuits against the Company. Similar subpoenas and investigations may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded or result in litigation. Since these investigations and/or lawsuits are in early stages, the Company is unable to predict outcomes or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses.
New York State Opioid Stewardship Act. On October 24, 2018, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois (October 26, 2017New York against the State of New York, asking the court to declare New York State’s Opioid Stewardship Act (“OSA”) unconstitutional and October 27, 2017),to enjoin its enforcement. On December 19, 2018, the U.S. District Courtcourt declared the OSA unconstitutional and granted the Company’s motion for preliminary injunctive relief. On January 17, 2019, the Southern DistrictState of Ohio (between September 22, 2017 and November 6, 2017),New York appealed the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (October 25, 2017), the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (October 12, 2017), and the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky (between October 3 and October 30, 2017).court’s decision. The Company intends to vigorously defend itselfassert its position in these matters.this matter. In April 2019, the State of New York passed its 2020 budget, which amended the OSA so that if the OSA decision is reversed on appeal, the OSA would apply only to the sale or distribution of certain opioids in New York for 2017 and 2018 and, effective July 1, 2019, imposed an excise tax on certain opioids.

At issue in Kingsport, Tennessee against certain prescription opioid manufacturers, includingthe lawsuit is whether FDA’s 2010 approval of a new drug application for use of Acthar Gel in treating infantile spasms rendered Acthar Gel eligible for a new base date AMP, as indicated by CMS written communications in 2012. In May 2019, CMS indicated that if the Company and other parties. The lawsuit alleges violationsfailed to revert to use of Tennessee’s Drug Dealer Liability Act and public nuisance laws arising outthe original base date AMP in its calculation of defendants’ alleged opioid sales and marketing practices, seeking restitution, damages, injunctive and other relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 29, 2017, a similar lawsuit was filed against the Company and other parties by several other Tennessee District Attorneys General and two Baby Does in the Circuit Court for Campbell County in Jacksboro, Tennessee and generally parallels the claims in the Sullivan County lawsuit and seeks similar relief.

As such, the Company filed a lawsuit alleging (i) that CMS has violated the Medicaid drug rebate statute, (ii) that CMS has violated its own regulations defining “single source drug,” (iii) that CMS has failed to adequately explain its change in position based on two letters that CMS sent Questcor Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Questcor") in 2012 regarding the base date AMP for Acthar Gel, (iv) that CMS failed to give the Company fair notice of its latest position, and healthcare providers, asserting claims of public nuisance, abnormally dangerous activity, fraud,(v) that CMS should be prohibited from applying its new position retroactively. The court held a hearing regarding this matter on August 2, 2019 and negligence,the court took the matter under advisement. While the Company believes that its lawsuit has strong factual and seeking relief similarlegal bases, the potential for retroactive non-recurring charges could range from zero to that sought in the Tennessee and federal actions. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters.approximately $600.0 million.

Putative Class Action Securities Litigation (Strougo). On July 26, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Praxair Distribution, Inc. concerning ten patents covering Inomax (i.e., five patents expiring in 2029 and five patents expiring in 2031).
In July 2015, the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") issued rulings denying the institution of four of the five IPR petitions challenging the five patents expiring in 2029.  The PTAB also issued a ruling in July 2015 that instituted the IPR proceeding in the fifth of this group of patents and the PTAB ruled in July 2016 that one claim of this patent survived review and is valid while the remaining claims were unpatentable.  The Company believes the valid claim describes and encompasses the manner in which Inomax is distributed in conjunction with its approved labeling and that Praxair infringes that claim. Praxair filed an appeal andagainst the Company, filed a cross-appeal of this decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In March 2016, Praxair Distribution, Inc. submitted additional IPR petitions for the five patents expiring in 2029. The PTAB issued non-appealable rulings in Augustits Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), its Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") Bryan M. Reasons, its former Interim CFO George A. Kegler and September 2016 denying institution of all five of these additional IPR petitions. This group of five patents are those patents ruled invalid by the District Court in the September 5, 2017 decision.
In September 2015, the USPTO PTAB issued rulings that instituted the IPR proceedings in each of the second set of five patents that expire in 2031.

Environmental Remediation and Litigation Proceedings
The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites, including those described below. The ultimate cost of site cleanup and timing of future cash outlays is difficult to predict, given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. The Company concluded that, as of September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, it was probable that it would incur remedialremediation costs in the range of $37.8$36.9 million to $114.2$86.1 million. The Company also concluded that, as of September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, the best estimate within this range was $75.5$62.3 million, of which $2.4$1.8 million was included in accrued and other current liabilities and the remainder was included in environmental liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 29, 2017.as of June 28, 2019. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes, given the information currently available, that the final resolution of all known claims, after taking into account amounts already accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Coldwater Creek, Saint Louis County, Missouri. The Company is named as a defendant in numerous tort complaints with numerous plaintiffs pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri that were filed in or after February 2012. These cases allege personal injury for alleged exposure to radiological substances, including in Coldwater Creek in Missouri, and in the air. Plaintiffs allegedly lived and/or worked in various locations in Saint Louis County, Missouri, near Coldwater Creek. Radiological residues which may have been present in the creek have previously been remediated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("USACE"). The USACE continues to study and remediate the creek and surrounding areas. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these complaints and is vigorously defending against them. The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for the following reasons: (i) the proceedings are in intermediate stages; (ii) the Company has not received and reviewed complete information regarding the plaintiffs and their medical conditions; and (iii) there are significant factual and scientific issues to be resolved. Groups of bellwether plaintiffs have been selected by the court and discovery is ongoing. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of this case, the Company believes, given the information currently available, that the final resolution of all known claims, after taking into account amounts already accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Lower Passaic River, New Jersey. The Company and approximately 70 other companies originally comprised the Lower Passaic ("Cooperating Parties Group ("the CPG"Group" or "CPG") and are parties to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent ("AOC") with the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to perform a remedial investigation and feasibility study ("RI/FS") of the 17-mile stretch known as the Lower Passaic River Study Area ("the River"). Study Area. The Company's potential liability stems from former operations at Lodi and Belleville, New Jersey. In June 2007, the EPA issued a draft Focused Feasibility Study ("FFS") that considered interim remedial options for the lower 8-miles of the river, in addition to a "no action" option. As an interim step related to the 2007 AOC, on June 18, 2012 the CPG voluntarily entered into an AOC with the EPA for remediation actions focused solely at mile 10.9 of the River. The Company's estimated costs related to the RI/FS and focused remediation at mile 10.9, based on interim allocations, are immaterial and have been accrued.
In April 2014, the EPA issued itsa revised FFS,Focused Feasibility Study ("FFS"), with remedial alternatives to address cleanup of the lower 8-mile stretch of the River, which also included a "no action" option.River. The EPA estimated the cost for the remediation alternatives ranged from $365.0 million to $3.2 billion. Thebillion and the EPA's preferred approach would involve bank-to-bank dredging of the lower 8-mile stretch of the River


and installinghad an engineered cap at a discounted, estimated cost of $1.7 billion. Based on the issuance of the EPA's revised FFS, the Company recorded a $23.1 million accrual in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 representing the Company's estimate of its allocable share of the joint and several remediation liability resulting from this matter.
In April 2015, the CPG presented a draft of the RI/FS of the River to the EPA. The CPG's RI/FSEPA that included alternatives that ranged from "no action," targeted remediation ofalternative remedial actions for the entire 17-mile stretch of the River to remedial actions consistent with the EPA's preferred approach for the lower 8-mile stretch of the River and also included remediation alternatives for the upper 9-mile stretch of the River. The discounted cost estimates for the CPG remediation alternatives ranged from $483.4 million to $2.7 billion. The Company recorded an additional accrual of $13.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 based on the Company's estimate of its allocable share of the joint and several remediation liability resulting from this matter.
On November 20, 2015, the Company withdrew from the CPG, but remains liable for its obligations under the two above-referenced AOCs, as well as potential future liabilities.
On March 4, 2016, the EPA issued the Record of Decision ("ROD") for the lower 8 miles of the River. The EPA's selected remedy for this stretch of the River waswith a slight modification of theon its preferred approach it identified in theand a revised FFS issued in April 2014. The new discounted, estimated cost wasof $1.38 billion. By letter dated March 31,On October 5, 2016, the EPA notified the Company, and approximately 98 other parties, of the Company’s potential liability for the lower 8 miles of the River. The letter also announced the EPA's intent to seek to determine whether one company,that Occidental Chemicals Corporation ("OCC"), would voluntarily enter into an agreement to perform the remedial design for the remedy selected in the ROD. The letter stated that, after execution of such an agreement, EPA planned to begin negotiation of an agreement under which OCC and the other major PRPs would implement and/or pay for the EPA’s selected remedy for the lower 8 miles of the River. Finally, the letter announced EPA's intent to provide a separate notice to unspecified parties of the opportunity to discuss a cash out settlement for the lower 8 miles of the River at a later date. On October 5, 2016, EPA announced that OCC had entered into an agreement to develop the remedial design.
By letter dated March 30, 2017,On August 7, 2018, the EPA notifiedfinalized a buyout offer of $280,600 with the Company, limited to its former Lodi facility, and nineteen other PRPs of their eligibility to enter into a cash out settlement for the lower 8 miles of the River. In exchange forDuring the settlement,three months ended September 28, 2018, the Company would receive, inter alia, a covenant notreduced the accrual associated with this matter by $11.8 million to sue and contribution protection. There is no reopener provision should costs exceed estimated amounts. The Company submitted$26.2 million, which represents the executed settlement agreementCompany's estimate of its remaining liability related to EPA on July 26, 2017. The settlement will be announced in the Federal Register and be subject to public comment, after which EPA will determine whether to proceed with the settlement.River.



Despite the issuance of the revised FFS and ROD by the EPA, and the RI/FS by the CPG, and the cash out settlement by the EPA there are many uncertainties associated with the final agreed-upon remediation, potential future liabilities and the Company's allocable share of the remediation. Given those uncertainties, the amounts accrued may not be indicative of the amounts for which the Company may be ultimately responsible and will be refined as the remediation progresses.

While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company believes, given the information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of all known claims, after taking into account amounts already accrued will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Superfund Site, near Marion, Illinois. The Company is a successor in interest toBetween 1967 and 1982, International Minerals and Chemicals Corporation ("IMC"). Between 1967 and 1982, IMC, a predecessor in interest to the Company, leased portions of the Additional and Uncharacterized Sites ("AUS") Operable Unit at the Crab Orchard Superfund Site ("the CO Site") from the government and manufactured various explosives for use in mining and other operations. In March 2002, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the EPA (together, "the Government Agencies") issued a special notice letter to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc. ("General Dynamics"), one of the other potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at the CO Site, to compel General Dynamics to perform the RI/FS for the AUS Operable Unit. General Dynamics negotiated an AOC with the Government Agencies to conduct an extensive RI/FS at the CO Site under the direction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. General Dynamics asserted in August 2004 that the Company is jointly and severally liable, along with approximately eight other lessees and operators at the AUS Operable Unit, for costs associated with alleged contamination of soils and groundwater resulting from historic operations, and has threatened to file a contribution claim against the Company and other parties for recovery of its costs incurred in connection with the RI/FS activities being conducted at the


AUS Operable Unit. The Company and other PRPs who received demand letters from General Dynamics have explored settlement alternatives, but have not reached settlement to date. General Dynamics has completed the RI and initiated the FS, and the PRPs have reached an agreement to enterentered into a non-binding mediation process, which has begun.process. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company believes, given the information currently available, that the final resolution of all known claims, after taking into account amounts already accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


Products Liability Litigation
Beginning with lawsuits brought in July 1976, the Company is named as a defendant in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. A majority of the cases involve product liability claims based principally on allegations of past distribution of products containing asbestos. A limited number of the cases allege premises liability based on claims that individuals were exposed to asbestos while on the Company's property. Each case typically names dozens of corporate defendants in addition to the Company. The complaints generally seek monetary damages for personal injury or bodily injury resulting from alleged exposure to products containing asbestos. The Company's involvement in asbestos cases has been limited because it did not mine or produce asbestos. Furthermore, in the Company's experience, a large percentage of these claims have never been substantiated and have been dismissed by the courts. The Company has not suffered an adverse verdict in a trial court proceeding related to asbestos claims and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in these matters.lawsuits. When appropriate, the Company settles claims; however, amounts paid to settle and defend all asbestos claims have been immaterial. As of September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, there were approximately 11,50011,700 asbestos-related cases pending against the Company.
The Company estimates pending asbestos claims, and claims that were incurred but not reported and related insurance recoveries, which are recorded on a gross basis in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's estimate of its liability for pending and future claims is based on claims experience over the past five years and covers claims either currently filed or expected to be filed over the next seven years. The Company believes that it has adequate amounts recorded related to these matters. While it is not possible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these asbestos-related proceedings, the Company believes, given the information currently available, that the ultimate resolutionsresolution of all known and anticipated future claims, after taking into account amounts already accrued, along with recoveries from insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Industrial Revenue Bonds
Through September 29, 2017, the Company exchanged title to $16.0 million of its plant assets in return for an equal amount of Industrial Revenue Bonds ("IRB") issued by Saint Louis County. The Company also simultaneously leased such assets back from Saint Louis County under capital leases expiring through December 2025, the terms of which provide it with the right of offset against the IRBs. The lease also provides an option for the Company to repurchase the assets at the end of the lease for nominal consideration. These transactions collectively result in a ten year property tax abatement from the date the property is placed in service. Due to the right of offset, the capital lease obligations and IRB assets are recorded net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects that the right of offset will be applied to payments required under these arrangements.


Interest-bearing Deferred Tax Obligation
As part of the integration of Questcor, the Company entered into an internal installment sale transaction related to certain Acthar Gel intangible assets during the three months ended December 26, 2014. The installment sale transaction resulted in a taxable gain. In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 453A ("Section 453A") the gain is considered taxable in the period in which



installment payments are received. During the three months ended December 25, 2015, the Company entered into similar transactions with certain intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of Ikaria, Inc. and Therakos, Inc.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017,29, 2019, the Company soldcompleted its Intrathecal Therapy business withreorganization of its intercompany financing and associated legal entity ownership. As a portion of the consideration from the sale being in the form of a note receivable subject to the installment sale provisions described above. As of September 29, 2017,result, the Company had an aggregate $1,606.7 million ofno remaining interest-bearing U.S. deferred tax liabilities associated with outstanding installment notes.as of June 28, 2019, compared to $227.5 million as of December 28, 2018. See Note 5 for further details regarding this reorganization. The GAAP calculation of interest associated with these deferred tax liabilities is subject to variable interest rates. The Company recognized interest expense associated with these deferred tax liabilities of $17.6$11.7 million and $17.4 million forduring the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and $53.9 million and $55.1 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.2018.
The Company has reported Section 453A interest on its tax returns on the basis of its interpretation of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and Regulations. Alternative interpretations of these provisions could result in additional interest payable on the deferred tax liability. Due to the inherent uncertainty in these interpretations, the Company has deferred the recognition of the benefit associated with the Company’sCompany's interpretation and maintains a corresponding liability of $42.9$47.4 million and $30.3$56.0 million as of September 29,


2017June 28, 2019 and December 30, 2016,28, 2018, respectively. The balancedecrease of this liability is expected$8.6 million was recognized as a benefit to increase over future periods until such uncertainty is resolved. Favorableinterest expense during the three months ended June 28, 2019, due to a lapse of certain statute of limitations. Further favorable resolution of this uncertainty would likely result in a material reversal of this liability and a benefit being recorded to interest expense within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

Acquisition-Related Litigation
Several putative class actions were filed by purported holders of Questcor common stock in connection with the Questcor Acquisition (Hansen v. Thompson, et al., Heng v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Buck v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Ellerbeck v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Yokem v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Richter v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Tramantano v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Crippen v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., Patel v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., and Postow v. Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al.). The actions were consolidated on June 3, 2014. The consolidated complaint named as defendants, and generally alleged that, the directors of Questcor breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the acquisition by, among other things, agreeing to sell Questcor for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process. The consolidated complaint also alleged that the Questcor directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose purportedly material information to shareholders in connection with the merger. The consolidated complaint also alleged, among other things, that the Company aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The lawsuits sought various forms of relief, including but not limited to, rescission of the transaction, damages and attorneys' fees and costs.
On July 29, 2014, the defendants reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiffs in the consolidated actions, and that agreement was reflected in a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU"). In connection with the settlement contemplated by the MOU, Questcor agreed to make certain additional disclosures related to the proposed transaction with the Company, which are contained in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2014. Additionally, as part of the settlement and pursuant to the MOU, the Company agreed to forbear from exercising certain rights under the merger agreement with Questcor, as follows: the four business day period referenced in Section 5.3(e) of the merger agreement with Questcor was reduced to three business days. Consistent with the terms of the MOU, the parties entered into a formal stipulation of settlement in February 2015 and re-executed the stipulation of settlement on May 7, 2015 (collectively the "Stipulation of Settlement").
The Stipulation of Settlement was subject to customary conditions, including court approval. On May 8, 2015, the California Court denied plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement. On October 23, 2015, the parties submitted a proposed Stipulation and Order re Dismissal With Prejudice dismissing the action with prejudice as to each of the named plaintiffs and without prejudice as to the remainder of the class and, on October 30, 2015, the California Court entered that Order.


Other Matters
The Company is a defendant in a number of other pending legal proceedings relating to present and former operations, acquisitions and dispositions. The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company's legal proceedings and claims are further described within the notes to the financial statements included within the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2018.

17.15.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels within the hierarchy are as follows:


Level 1— observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2— significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3— significant unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.





The following tables provide a summary of the significant assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each period:

Debt and equity securities held in rabbi trusts. Debt securities held in rabbi trusts primarily consist of U.S. government and agency securities and corporate bonds. When quoted prices are available in an active market, the investments are classified as level 1. When quoted market prices for a security are not available in an active market, they are classified as level 2. Equity securities held in rabbi trusts primarily consist of U.S. common stocks, which are valued using quoted market prices reported on nationally recognized securities exchanges.
Equity securities. Equity securities consist of shares in Mesoblast, for which quoted prices are available in an active market; therefore, the investment is classified as level 1 and is valued based on quoted market prices reported on a nationally recognized securities exchange.
Foreign exchange forward and option contracts. Foreign currency option and forward contracts are used to economically manage the foreign exchange exposures of operations outside the U.S. Quoted prices are available in an active market; as such, these derivatives are classified as level 1.
Deferred compensation liabilities. The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in the U.S., which permits eligible employees of the Company to defer a portion of their compensation. A recordkeeping account is set up for each participant and the participant chooses from a variety of funds for the deemed investment of their accounts. The recordkeeping accounts generally correspond to the funds offered in the Company's U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan and the account balance fluctuates with the investment returns on those funds.
Contingent consideration and acquired contingent liabilities. The Company maintains various contingent consideration and acquired contingent liabilities associated with the acquisitions of Questcor, Hemostasis products, Stratatech Corporation ("Stratatech"), and InfaCare.Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. ("Ocera").
DuringThe contingent liability associated with the nine months ended September 29, 2017,acquisition of Questcor pertains to the Company's license agreement with Novartis AG and Novartis Pharma AG (collectively "Novartis") related to Synacthen, otherwise known as the Company's development product MNK-1411. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company paid the required annual payment of $25.0 million related toduring the license of developmental product MNK-1411 from Novartis.six months ended June 28, 2019. The fair value of the remaining contingent payments was measured based on the net present value of a probability-weighted assessment. At September 29, 2017,As of June 28, 2019, the total remaining


payments under the license agreement shall not exceed $140.0$90.0 million. At September 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, the fair value of the MNK-1411 contingent liability was $104.5 million and $124.7 million, respectively.
As part of the Hemostasis Acquisition, the Company provided contingent consideration to The Medicines Company in the form of sales-based milestones associated with Raplixa and PreveLeak, and acquired contingent liabilities associated with The Medicines Company's prior acquisitions of the aforementioned products. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration and acquired contingent liabilities based on an option pricing modelassociated with the acquisition of Questcor to be $62.2$52.9 million and $11.6$76.2 million respectively, at September 29, 2017. The fair value of the contingent consideration and acquired contingent liabilities based on an option pricing model were $58.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively, as of June 28, 2019 and December 30, 2016.28, 2018, respectively.
As part of the Stratatech Acquisition,acquisition, the Company provided contingent consideration to the prior shareholders of Stratatech, primarily in the form of regulatory filing and approval milestones associated with the deep partial thickness and full thickness indications associated with the StrataGraft product.®. The Company assesses the likelihood of and timing of making such payments. The fair value of the contingent payments was measured based on the net present value of a probability-weighted assessment. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the Stratatech Acquisition to be $55.3$55.6 million and $55.7$53.7 million at September 29, 2017as of June 28, 2019 and December 30, 2016,28, 2018, respectively.
As part of the InfaCare Acquisition,Ocera acquisition, the Company provided contingent consideration to the prior shareholders of InfaCareOcera in the form of both regulatory approvalpatient enrollment clinical study milestones for full-termintravenous ("IV") and pre-term neonates for stannsoporfinoral formulations of MNK-6105 and



MNK-6106, which represent the IV and oral formulations, respectively, and sales-based milestones associated with stannsoporfin.MNK-6105 and MNK-6106. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based on an option pricing model to be $35.0$21.9 million and $21.5 million as of September 25, 2017.June 28, 2019 and December 28, 2018, respectively.

Of the total fair value of the contingent consideration of $130.4 million, $52.4 million was classified as current and $78.0 million was classified as non-current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2019.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values for financial instruments not measured at fair value as of September 29, 2017June 28, 2019 and December 30, 2016:28, 2018:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and the majority of other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, with an original maturity of three months or less, as cash and cash equivalents (level 1). The fair value of restricted cash was equivalent to its carrying value of $18.2 million and $19.1 million as of September 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, (level 1), respectively, which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the majority of other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts and other investments it may hold from time to time, with an original maturity of three months or less, as cash and cash equivalents (level 1). The fair value of restricted cash was equivalent to its carrying value of $18.8 million and $18.6 million as of June 28, 2019 and December 28, 2018, (level 1), respectively, which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company received a portion of consideration foras part of contingent earn-out payments related to the sale of the IntrathecalNuclear Imaging business in the form of a note receivable. The fair value of the note receivable was equivalent to its carrying value of $154.0 million as of September 29, 2017 (level 1).
The Company entered into short-term investmentpreferred equity certificates during both the threesix months ended December 30, 2016.June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018. These certificatessecurities are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value (level 3), of $1.6$18.9 million and $11.1$9.0 million at September 29, 2017as of June 28, 2019 and December 30, 2016, respectively (level 2). These certificates are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's life insurance contracts are carried at cash surrender value, which is based on the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts (level 3). Significant assumptions used in determining the cash surrender value include the amount and timing of future cash flows, interest rates and mortality charges. The fair value of these contracts approximates the carrying value of $66.8 million and $67.6 million at September 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016,28, 2018, respectively. These contractssecurities are included in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's life insurance contracts are carried at cash surrender value, which is based on the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts (level 3). Significant assumptions used in determining the cash surrender value include the amount and timing of future cash flows, interest rates and mortality charges. The fair value of these contracts approximates the carrying value of $66.6 million and $66.4 million as of June 28, 2019 and December 28, 2018, respectively. These contracts are included in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The carrying value of the Company's revolving credit facility and variable-rate receivable securitization approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments, and is therefore classified as level 1. The Company's 4.875%, 5.75%, 4.75%, 5.625% and 5.50% notes are classified as level 1, as quoted prices are available in an active market for these notes. Since the quoted market prices for the Company's term loans and 9.50% and 8.00% debentures are not available in an active market, they are classified as level 2 for purposes of developing an estimate of fair value. The fair value of the "other" loan is based on the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the agreement with future cash flows and interest rates as significant assumptions, and therefore classified as level 3. The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's debt as of the end of each period:





The carrying value of the Company's revolving credit facility and variable-rate receivable securitization approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the 4.00% term loan approximates the fair value of the instrument, as calculated using the discounted exit price, which is therefore classified as level 3. Since the quoted market prices for the Company's term loans and 8.00% and 9.50% debentures are not available in an active market, they are classified as level 2 for purposes of developing an estimate of fair value. The Company's 3.50%, 4.75%, 4.875%, 5.50%, 5.625% and 5.75% notes are classified as level 1, as quoted prices are available in an active market for these notes. The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's long-term debt, excluding capital leases, as of the end of each period:

The Company generally does not typically require collateral from customers. A portion of the Company's accounts receivable outside the U.S. includes sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries' national economies.

Specialty Generics Separation Update
Commitments and Contingencies
Putative Class Action Litigation (MSP). On October 30, 2017, a putative class action lawsuit was filed againstAugust 6, 2019, the Company announced that based on current market conditions and United BioSource Corporationdevelopments, including increasing uncertainties created by the opioid litigation, the Company is suspending for now its previously announced plans to spin off the Specialty Generics company.

Tax Matters
On August 5, 2019, the Internal Revenue Service ("UBC"IRS") proposed an adjustment to the taxable income of Mallinckrodt Hospital Products Inc. (“MHP”) as a result of its findings in the U.S. District Court for the Central Districtaudit of California. The case is captioned MSP Recovery Claims, Series II LLC, et al. v. Mallinckrodt ARD,MHP’s tax year ended September 26, 2014. MHP, then known as Cadence Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cadence”), et al. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of two classes: all Medicare Advantage Organizations and related entities in the U.S. who purchased or provided reimbursement for Acthar pursuant to (i) Medicare Part C contracts (Class 1) and (ii) Medicare Part D contracts (Class 2) since January 1, 2011, with certain exclusions.

The transfer occurred at a price (“Transfer Price”) determined in conjunction with the Company’s external advisors, in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations and with reference to the $1,329.0 million taxable consideration paid by the Company to the shareholders of Cadence. The IRS asserts the value of the Transferred IP exceeds the value of the acquired Cadence shares and, further, partially disallows the Company’s control premium subtraction. The proposed adjustment to taxable income of $871.0 million, excluding potential associated interest and penalties, is proposed as a multi-year adjustment and may result in a purported ACTH product market by acquiringnon-cash reduction of the Company’s U.S. rights to Synacthen Depot and reaching anti-competitive agreementsFederal net operating loss carryforward of $815.4 million. The Company strongly disagrees with the other defendants by selling Actharproposed increase to the Transfer Price and intends to contest it through an exclusive distribution network.all available administrative and judicial remedies, which may take a number of years to conclude.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters.

Inhaled Xenon Gas LicensingLicense Agreement
On October 2, 2017,July 18, 2019, the Company entered into a licensinglicense and collaboration agreement with Silence Therapeutics plc ("Silence") that will allow the Licensing Agreement"companies to develop and commercialize ribonucleic acid interference ("RNAi") for development and commercializationdrug targets designed to inhibit the complement cascade, a group of NeuroproteXeon Inc.'s ("NeuroproteXeon") investigational, pharmaceutical-grade xenon gas for inhalation therapy being evaluated to improve survival and functional outcomes for patients resuscitated after a cardiac arrest. If approved, xenon gas for inhalation will expand the Company's portfolio of hospital drug-device combination products providing therapies for critically ill patients. The Company paid $10.0 million upfront with cash on hand to reimburse NeuroproteXeon for certain product development costs, and gained exclusive rights to commercialize the therapy, if approved,proteins that are involved in the U.S., Canada, Japanimmune system and Australia. The Licensing Agreement includes additional paymentsthat play a role in the development of inflammation. These proteins are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including autoimmune disease. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will obtain an exclusive worldwide license to Silence's C3 complement asset, SLN500, with options to license up to $25.0 million dependent on developmental, regulatory and sales milestones. In addition, NeuroproteXeontwo additional complement-targeted assets in Silence's preclinical complement-directed RNAi development program. Silence will receive tiered royalties on applicable worldwide net sales and a transfer price for commercial product supply. NeuroproteXeon will continue to be responsible for preclinical activities, and for executing the costdevelopment program of each asset until the end of Phase 1, after which the Company will assume clinical development and will manage the development of the product in collaboration with the Company.responsibility for global commercialization.

Reorganization of Legal Entity Ownership
On October 6, 2017, the Company completed a reorganization of its legal entity ownership ("the Reorganization") to align with its ongoing transformation to become an innovation-driven specialty pharmaceuticals growth company. Many factors were considered in effecting the Reorganization, including streamlining treasury functions, simplifying legal entity reporting processes, and capital allocation efficiencies.
Given this Reorganization, the Internal Revenue Code required the Company to reallocate its tax basis from an investment in shares of a wholly-owned subsidiary to assets within another legal entity with no corresponding change in accounting basis. A deferred tax liability is not recognized on the wholly-owned subsidiary as there is a means for its recovery in a tax-free manner. The reallocation of tax basis resulted in a decrease to the net deferred tax liabilities associated with the assets within the other legal entity. During the three months ending December 29, 2017,September 27, 2019, the Company expectswill provide Silence with an upfront payment of $20.0 million. Silence is also eligible to record the reductionreceive up to $10.0 million in its net deferred tax liabilitiesresearch milestones for SLN500 and for each optioned asset, in addition to funding for Phase 1 clinical development including good manufacturing practices (GMP) manufacturing. Silence will fund all other preclinical activities. The collaboration provides for potential added clinical and regulatory milestone payments of $800.0up to $100.0 million for SLN500, as well as commercial milestone payments of up to $950.0$563.0 million which will result in the recognition of a net deferred income tax benefit of an equal amount. The reduction to net deferred tax liabilities is expected to be comprised of a $650.0 million to $775.0 million reduction to interest-bearing U.S. deferred tax liabilities and a $150.0 million to $175.0 million reduction to net deferred tax liabilities associated with intangible assets.
During the three months ended September 29, 2017,for SLN500. Should the Company recognized income tax expenseopt to license one or two additional assets, Silence could receive up to $703.0 million in similar clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments per asset. Silence would also receive tiered, low double-digit to high-teen royalties on net sales for SLN500 and each optioned asset.
In addition to the aforementioned agreement, on July 24, 2019, the Company acquired an equity investment of $36.1$5.0 million within Silence Therapeutics.

Financing Activities
On July 11, 2019, the Company borrowed an offsetadditional $400.0 million on its revolving credit facility, bringing total outstanding borrowings to deferred tax liabilities commensurate with the completion of certain aspects$805.0 million for this instrument as of the Reorganization during the third quarterdate of 2017.



Ocera Acquisitionthis report.
On November 2, 2017,July 19, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. ("Ocera") through a cash tender offer to purchase allrepaid $200.0 million of theits outstanding shares of Ocera common stock for upfront consideration of approximately $42.0 million and contingent consideration up to $75.0 million basedobligations under its variable-rate receivable securitization, thus automatically terminating this facility, which was classified as long-term on the successful completionunaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of certain development and sales milestones. Ocera is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics for orphan and other serious liver diseases with a high unmet medical need. Ocera’s developmental product OCR-002, an ammonia scavenger, is being studied for treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, a neuropsychiatric syndrome associated with hyperammonemia, a complication of acute or chronic liver disease. This transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets Impairment Analysis
Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if certain indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. Management relies on a number of qualitative factors when considering a potential impairment such as its operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions and market capitalization.June 28, 2019.
Subsequent to September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019 and up through the Company's market capitalization has declined,date of this filing, the Company repurchased fixed-rate debt that aggregated to a principal amount of $70.9 million, which may be an indicatorresulted in a gain on repurchase of impairment should$18.0 million.




Commitments and Contingencies
Certain litigation matters occurred during the six months ended June 28, 2019 or prior, but had subsequent updates through the issuance of this decrease be more than temporary. The Company will continue to assess the impact of its market capitalization.

Significant Events
Acquisitions and License AgreementsSeparation


In October 2017, we entered into a licensing agreement (the "Licensing Agreement") for development and commercialization of NeuroproteXeon Inc.'s ("NeuroproteXeon") investigational, pharmaceutical-grade xenon gas for inhalation therapy being evaluatedOur long-standing goal remains to improve survival and functionalbe an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on improving outcomes for underserved patients resuscitated afterwith severe and critical conditions. However, based on current market conditions and developments, including increasing uncertainties created by the opioid litigation, subsequent to June 28, 2019, we decided to suspend for now our previously announced plans to spin off the Specialty Generics company (the "Separation"). We continue to actively consider a cardiac arrest. If approved, xenon gas for inhalation will expand our portfoliorange of hospital drug-device combination products providing therapies for critically ill patients. Underoptions intended to lead to the termsultimate separation of the Licensing Agreement, we paid $10.0 million upfrontSpecialty Generics business, consistent with cash on hand to reimburse NeuroproteXeon for certain product development costs, and gained exclusive rights to commercialize the therapy, if approved,our previously stated strategy.
Beginning in the U.S., Canada, Japan and Australia.  The Licensing Agreement includes additional paymentsfirst quarter through the third quarter of upfiscal 2018, the historical financial results attributable to $25.0 million dependent on developmental, regulatory and sales milestones. In addition, NeuroproteXeon will receive tiered royalties on applicable worldwide product sales and"the Specialty Generics Disposal Group" were reflected in our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

NeuroproteXeon will continueresult of the December 6, 2018 Separation announcement, the Specialty Generics Disposal Group no longer met the requirements to be responsibleclassified as held-for-sale, and the historical financial results attributable to the Specialty Generics Disposal Group were recast as continuing operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the cost of developmentfiscal year ended December 28, 2018, as well as the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as presented herein.
During the three and will managesix months ended June 28, 2019, we incurred $18.9 million and $30.6 million in costs related to the developmentSeparation, respectively. These costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, primarily relate to professional fees and incremental costs incurred to build out the corporate infrastructure of the productnew company, as well as rebranding initiatives.





Tax Matters
On August 5, 2019, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") proposed an adjustment to the taxable income of Mallinckrodt Hospital Products Inc. (“MHP”) as a result of its findings in collaboration with us.
Inthe audit of MHP’s tax year ended September 2017, we26, 2014. MHP, then known as Cadence Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cadence”), was acquired InfaCare Pharmaceutical Corporation ("InfaCare") inas a transaction valued at approximately $80.4 million, with additional payments of up to $345.0 million dependentU.S. subsidiary on regulatory and sales milestones ("the InfaCare Acquisition"). InfaCare is focused on development and commercialization of proprietary pharmaceuticals for neonatal and pediatric patient populations. InfaCare's developmental product stannsoporfin, a heme oxygenase inhibitor, is under investigation for its potential to reduce the production of bilirubin, the elevation of which can contribute to serious consequences in infants. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand.
In August 2016, we acquired Stratatech Corporation ("Stratatech"), throughMarch 19, 2014. Following the acquisition of all outstanding common stock for upfrontCadence, we transferred certain rights and risks in Ofirmev® intellectual property (“Transferred IP”) to one of our wholly owned non-U.S. subsidiaries. The transfer occurred at a price (“Transfer Price”) determined in conjunction with our external advisors, in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations and with reference to the $1,329.0 million taxable consideration we paid to the shareholders of $76.0Cadence. The IRS asserts the value of the Transferred IP exceeds the value of the acquired Cadence shares and, further, partially disallows our control premium subtraction. The proposed adjustment to taxable income of $871.0 million, excluding potential associated interest and contingent milestone payments, which are primarily regulatory,penalties, is proposed as a multi-year adjustment and royalty obligations that couldmay result in up to $121.0 million of additional consideration ("the Stratatech Acquisition"). Stratatech is a regenerative medicine company focused on the development of unique, proprietary skin substitute products. Developmental products include StrataGraft® regenerative skin tissue and a technology platform for genetically enhanced skin tissues. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand.
In February 2016, we acquired three commercial stage topical hemostasis drugs from The Medicines Company ("the Hemostasis Acquisition") - RECOTHROM® Thrombin topical (Recombinant), PreveLeakTM Surgical Sealant, and RAPLIXATM (Fibrin Sealant (Human)) - for upfront consideration of $173.5 million, inclusive of existing inventory, and contingent sales-based milestone payments that could result in up to $395.0 million of additional consideration. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand.

Divestitures
On January 27, 2017, we completed the salenon-cash reduction of our Nuclear Imaging businessU.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward of $815.4 million. We strongly disagree with the proposed increase to IBA Molecularthe Transfer Price and intend to contest it through all available administrative and judicial remedies, which may take a number of years to conclude. The final outcome cannot be reasonably quantified at this time, however, the adjustment may be material. We believe our allowance for income tax contingencies is adequate.

Medicaid Lawsuit
In May 2019, we filed a lawsuit in federal district court against the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("IBAM"CMS") and the Department of Health and Human Services. This lawsuit is in response to a decision by CMS to require that we revert to the prior base date average manufacturer price (“AMP”) used to calculate Medicaid drug rebates for Acthar® Gel(repository corticotropin injection) ("Acthar Gel"), which has the practical effect of imposing approximately $690.0$600.0 million before tax impacts, including up-front considerationin retroactive rebates and prospective rebate increases of approximately $574.0$100.0 million upannually. This matter is further described in Note 14 to $77.0 millionthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reorganization of contingent considerationIntercompany Financing and the assumption of certain liabilities. We recorded a net of tax gain on the sale of the Nuclear Imaging business of $361.7 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2017, which excluded any potential proceeds from the contingent consideration and reflects a charge of $0.6 million duringLegal Entity Ownership
During the three months ended SeptemberMarch 29, 2017 primarily as a result of ongoing working capital adjustments. The financial results for the Nuclear Imaging business, including the recast of prior year balances, are presented within discontinued operations.
On March 17, 2017, we completed the sale of our Intrathecal Therapy business to Piramal Enterprises Limited's subsidiary in the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Piramal Critical Care, for approximately $203.0 million, including fixed consideration of $171.0 million and contingent consideration of up to $32.0 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of the business of $56.6 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2017, which excluded any potential proceeds from the contingent consideration and reflects a post-sale adjustment of $0.4 million during the three months ended September 29, 2017. The financial results of the Intrathecal Therapy business are presented within continuing operations as this divestiture did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations classification.

Reorganization of Legal Entity Ownership
On October 6, 2017,2019, we completed a reorganization of our intercompany financing and associated legal entity ownership ("the Reorganization") to align with our ongoing transformation to become an innovation-driven specialty pharmaceuticals growth company. Many factors were considered in effecting the Reorganization, including streamlining treasury functions, simplifying legal entity reporting processes and capital allocation efficiencies.
Given this Reorganization, the Internal Revenue Code required us to reallocate our tax basis from an investment in shares of a wholly-owned subsidiary to assets within another legal entity with no corresponding change in accounting basis. A deferred tax liability is not recognized on the wholly-owned subsidiary as there is a means for its recovery in a tax-free manner. The reallocation of tax basis resulted in a decreaseresponse to the net deferredchanging global tax liabilities associated withenvironment. As a result, during the assets within the other legal entity. During the threesix months ending December 29, 2017,ended June 28, 2019, we expect to record the reduction in our net deferredrecognized current income tax liabilitiesexpense of $800.0$28.9 million to $950.0 million, which will result in the recognition ofand a net deferred income tax benefit of an equal amount. The$218.7 million with a corresponding reduction to net deferred tax liabilities. The reduction in net deferred tax liabilities is expected to bewas comprised of a $650.0decrease in interest-bearing deferred tax obligations, which resulted in the elimination of the December 28, 2018 balance of $227.5 million, a $42.3 million increase to $775.0a deferred tax asset related to excess interest carryforwards, a $26.4 million reduction to interest-bearing U.S.increase in various other net deferred tax liabilities and a $150.0$24.7 million decrease to $175.0 million reduction to neta deferred tax liabilities associated with intangible assets.asset related to tax loss and credit carryforwards net of valuation allowances. The elimination of the interest-bearing deferred tax obligation also eliminated the annual Internal Revenue Code section 453A interest expense.



Stannsoporfin
During the three months ended September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, we recognized income tax expensea full impairment on our in-process research and development ("IPR&D") asset related to stannsoporfin of $36.1$113.5 million as we will no longer pursue this development product. 

VTS-270
VTS-270 is our development product to treat Niemann-Pick Type C, a complicated, ultra-rare neurodegenerative disease that typically presents in childhood and is ultimately fatal. The results of our completed registration trial for the product did not show a statistically significant separation from placebo. Neither the VTS-270 nor the placebo arm showed disease progression as would be expected for a neurodegenerative condition over 52 weeks of observation. We are in the process of evaluating this portion of the study in order to ensure the data was properly captured and of the highest quality. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") indicated to us at a Type A meeting in August 2018 that their view on the potential approvability will be based on the totality of data, not a single study or endpoint. Accordingly, our review of the data from the Phase 2b/3 trial, including the longer term open label portion, continues to proceed and is being assessed in combination with several other available data sources. A better understanding of the potential benefit of VTS-270 will emerge as we carefully consider the totality of data available and continue to work with the primary investigators and the FDA to determine the best path forward. We will continue to assess the impact of any changes to planned revenue or earnings on the fair value of the associated in-process research and development asset of $274.5 million included within intangible assets, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2019.




CPP-1X/sulindac
In May 2019, we along with Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("CPP"), announced that CPP's pivotal phase 3 clinical trial for CPP-1X/sulindac in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis ("FAP") did not meet its primary endpoint. Specifically, the reduction of time to the first occurrence of an FAP-related event for the combination of CPP-1X/sulindac did not reach statistical significance compared to the two control arms. Based on the topline results, we are no longer pursuing the commercialization of the CPP-1X/sulindac program under our collaborative agreement.

Silence Therapeutics
On July 18, 2019, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Silence Therapeutics plc ("Silence") that will allow the companies to develop and commercialize ribonucleic acid interference ("RNAi") drug targets designed to inhibit the complement cascade, a group of proteins that are involved in the immune system and that play a role in the development of inflammation. These proteins are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including autoimmune disease. Under the terms of the agreement, we will obtain an exclusive worldwide license to Silence's C3 complement asset, SLN500, with options to license up to two additional complement-targeted assets in Silence's preclinical complement-directed RNAi development program. Silence will be responsible for preclinical activities, and for executing the development program of each asset until the end of Phase 1, after which we will assume clinical development and responsibility for global commercialization.
During the three months ending September 27, 2019, we will provide Silence with an offsetupfront payment of $20.0 million. Silence is also eligible to deferred tax liabilities commensurate withreceive up to $10.0 million in research milestones for SLN500 and for each optioned asset, in addition to funding for Phase 1 clinical development including good manufacturing practices (GMP) manufacturing. Silence will fund all other preclinical activities. The collaboration provides for potential added clinical and regulatory milestone payments of up to $100.0 million for SLN500, as well as commercial milestone payments of up to $563.0 million for SLN500. Should we opt to license one or two additional assets, Silence could receive up to $703.0 million in similar clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments per asset. Silence would also receive tiered, low double-digit to high-teen royalties on net sales for SLN500 and each optioned asset.
In addition to the completionaforementioned agreement, on July 24, 2019, we acquired an equity investment of certain aspects of the Reorganization during the third quarter of 2017.$5.0 million in Silence Therapeutics.




Business Factors Influencing the Results of Operations
Products
TheSpecialty Brands
Net sales of Acthar Gel for the three months ended June 28, 2019 decreased $26.8 million, or 9.1%, to $266.4 million driven primarily by continued reimbursement challenges impacting new and returning patients and continued payer scrutiny on overall specialty pharmaceutical spending. This is partially offset by strength in Ofirmev, Inomax® and Therakos®, as well as an increase in Amitiza® net sales.
Specialty Generics
After experiencing contraction over the last several years, the Specialty Generics segment has and may continuebusiness is projected to experience customer consolidation and increasedreturn to growth in fiscal 2019, as compared to fiscal 2018, primarily driven by share recapture in specialty generic product approvals leading to increased competition, which is expected to result in further downward pressure on net sales, operating income and cash flows from operations.products. Net sales from the Specialty Generics segment excluding Methylphenidate ER which is discussed further below,increased $1.7 million or 0.9% to $195.5 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 28, 2019 compared to $193.8 million for the three months ended June 29, 2017 were $174.82018.
The U.S. generic market is growing overall in volume, but has been declining in value over the past several years due to pricing pressure. Hydrocodone, oxycodone and other controlled substances have experienced significant volume declines due to continued downward pressure on the use of opioids in the U.S. Despite this market contraction, acetaminophen and opioids are still viewed as the standard of care for many types of pain. Pain management represents the second largest therapeutic area in the U.S. based upon prescriptions dispensed, with pain medications accounting for approximately one out of every 11 dispensed prescriptions in 2018. We expect the decline in usage rates for opioids in the U.S. to continue, stabilizing at levels consistent with historical prescribing patterns and aligning with treatment guidelines being developed by the medical community. Globally, we expect the use of acetaminophen and opioids to trend with population rates for the foreseeable future.




Opioid-Related Matters
As a result of the greater awareness of the public health issue of opioid abuse, there has been increased scrutiny of, and investigation into, the commercial practices of opioid manufacturers, distributors, and others in the supply chain by state and federal agencies. We, along with other opioid manufacturers and others in the supply chain, have been the subject of federal and state government investigations and enforcement actions, as well as lawsuits by private parties, focused on the misuse and abuse of opioid medications in the U.S. Similar investigations, lawsuits and other actions may be initiated in the future. We will continue to incur significant legal costs in defending these matters and could in the future be required to pay significant amounts as a result of fines, penalties, settlements or judgments. Such litigation and related matters are described in Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Research and Development Investment
We devote significant resources to research and development ("R&D") of products and proprietary drug technologies. We incurred R&D expenses of $79.6 million and $585.5 million, respectively, compared to $216.4 million and $695.3$164.9 million for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

In November 2014, we were informed by the FDA that it believes our Methylphenidate ER products may not be therapeutically equivalent to the category reference listed drugJune 28, 2019, respectively, and the FDA reclassified our Methylphenidate ER from freely substitutable at the pharmacy level (class AB) to presumed to be therapeutically inequivalent (class BX). The FDA has indicated that it has not identified any serious safety concerns with the products. We continue to market our Methylphenidate ER products as a class BX-rated drug. The FDA's action to reclassify our Methylphenidate ER products had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact on net sales and operating income. Net sales of our Methylphenidate ER products during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017 were $14.3$92.6 million and $58.2 million, respectively, compared to $23.4 million and $72.3$174.6 million for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2016,June 29, 2018, respectively.

On October 18, 2016, the FDA initiated proceedings, proposing to withdraw approval of Mallinckrodt’s ANDA for Methylphenidate ER. We have requested a hearing in the withdrawal proceedings, which has been indefinitely deferred by the FDA. We plan to vigorously set forth our position in the withdrawal proceedings. A potential outcome of the withdrawal proceedings is that our Methylphenidate ER products may lose their FDA approval, which could have a material, negative impact to our Specialty Generics segment.

The FDA recently approved new products that are expected to compete with our Methylphenidate ER products, and one competitor recently launched their products. Additional products expected to compete with our Methylphenidate ER products may be launched over the next several quarters. All of these products have a class AB rating compared with the class BX rating on our Methylphenidate ER products. It is uncertain how these product approvals may impact the FDA's withdrawal proceedings associated with our Methylphenidate ER products.

Restructuring Initiatives
We continue to realign our cost structure due to the changing nature of our business and look for opportunities to achieve operating efficiencies.
In July 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $100.0 million to $125.0 million restructuring program ("the 2016 Mallinckrodt Program") designed to further improve our cost structure, as we continue to transform our business. The 2016 Mallinckrodt Program is expected to include actions across both the Specialty Brands and Specialty Generics segments, as well as within corporate functions. There is no specified time period associated with the 2016 Mallinckrodt Program. Through September 29, 2017, we incurred restructuring charges of $49.2 million under the 2016 Mallinckrodt Program, which are expected to generate savings, primarily within our selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. In addition to the 2016 Mallinckrodt Program, we take certain restructuring actions to generate synergies from our acquisitions.

Research and Development Investment
We expect to continue to pursue targeted investments in research and development ("R&D")&D activities, both for existing products and the development of new portfolio assets. We intend to focus our R&D investments in the specialty pharmaceuticals areas, specifically investments to support our Specialty Brands business, where we believe there is the greatest opportunity for growth and profitability. Our Specialty Brands include medicines for pain management, acute and critical care, and autoimmune and rare diseases (“ARD”). Our primary focus for the latter includes the therapeutic areas of neurology, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonology and ophthalmology.
Specialty Brands. We devote significant R&D resources to our branded products. Our R&D investments center on building a diverse, durable portfolio of innovative therapies that provide value to patients, physicians and payers. We are leveraging both organic development and acquiring late stage development assets through the execution of our “acquire to invest” strategy to facilitate organic


growth. Under this strategy, we look to acquire durable, but currently under-resourced assets for which we believe we can accelerate growth and expand reach to patients with unmet medical needs.
Data generation is an important strategic driver for our key products in development as they extend evidence in approved uses, label enhancements and new indications. Our strategy is realized through investments in both clinical and health economic activities. We are committed to supporting research that helps advance the understanding and treatment of a variety of different disease states that will further the understanding and development of our currently marketed products, including Acthar®, Inomax, Ofirmev®, and Therakos immunotherapy.
Our "acquire to invest" strategy also includes the acquisition and licensing of early and late stage development products to meet the needs of underserved patient populations. Under our strategy we continue the development process and perform clinical trials to support FDA approval of new products. The most significant development products in our pipeline are:
Terlipressin is being investigated for the treatment of Hepatorenal Syndrome ("HRS") type 1, an acute, rare and life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization, with no currently approved therapy in the U.S. or Canada. In July 2016, we enrolled the first patient in our Phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of terlipressin (for injection) in subjects with HRS type 1. In July 2017, we announced the enrollment of the 75th subject in our ongoing Phase 3 clinical study, achieving one quarter of our target enrollment for this trial.
StrataGraft is an investigational product in Phase 3 development for treatment of severe, deep partial thickness burns and Phase 2 development for treatment of severe, full thickness burns. In 2012, the FDA granted StrataGraft orphan product status, and the product is being developed as a biologic to be filed under a biologic license application that would confer regulatory protection until 2032. In June 2017, we announced the enrollment of the first patient in our Phase 3 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of StrataGraft regenerative skin tissue in the promotion of autologous skin regeneration of complex skin defects due to thermal burns that contain intact dermal elements. In July 2017, we announced that StrataGraft is among the first products to be designated as a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy ("RMAT") by the FDA under the provisions of the 21st Century Cures Act. The RMAT designation allows for earlier and increased interactions with the FDA, including discussions of whether priority review and/or accelerated approval would be appropriate based on surrogate or intermediate endpoints that would be reasonably likely to predict long-term clinical benefit; or reliance upon data obtained from a meaningful number of sites.
MNK-1411 (the product formerly described as Synacthen Depot®) is a depot formulation of Synacthen (tetracosactide), a synthetic 24 amino acid melanocortin receptor agonist. In August 2016, we announced that the FDA has granted our request for fast track designation for its Investigational New Drug ("IND") application for MNK-1411 in the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy ("DMD"). The FDA's fast track designation is a process designed to facilitate the development, and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious conditions that fill an unmet medical need. We completed a Phase 1 study for MNK-1411 in healthy volunteers, and are using the information that was derived to determine optimal dosing in our Phase 2 trial, which is expected to commence during the next six months. In July 2017, we announced that the FDA had granted orphan drug designation to MNK-1411 for the treatment of DMD.
Stannsoporfin, a heme oxygenase inhibitor, is under investigation for its potential to reduce the production of bilirubin. If approved, stannsoporfin is expected to be a highly effective therapy used for near- and full-term infants at risk of developing complications associated with severe jaundice. This new treatment option may reduce the number of newborns advancing to bilirubin levels requiring more intrusive, less specific therapies, most often blood exchange transfusion and less frequently intravenous immunoglobululin infusions ("IVIG"), both of which have a more complex and lengthy administration than stannsoporfin's single injection. Stannsoporfin, if approved, may also decrease the risks associated with other treatments (e.g., bilirubin rebound) and the risk of prolonged and/or severe bilirubin elevation, which can impact central nervous system development. In December 2016, stannsoporfin was granted fast track designation by the FDA. After our recent acquisition of this product through the InfaCare Acquisition, we expect to submit our new drug application ("NDA") to the FDA by the end of fiscal 2017.
Xenon is a noble gas that has been used safely as an inhaled therapy in several studies to date. Following cardiac arrest, calcium channels in the brain can get over-activated, causing neuronal damage and cell death. When inhaled, xenon binds to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors through a unique glycine-binding mechanism and can help regulate the flow of ions through the calcium channels. By mitigating neuronal damage and cell death following a cardiac arrest, inhaled xenon may be able to reduce time in coma, lower mortality rates and improve cognitive and motor functions. The Phase 3 trial, being conducted under an FDA Special Protocol Agreement, or SPA, is currently expected to begin in early 2018.
Specialty Generics. Specialty Generics development is focused on hard-to-manufacture pharmaceuticals with difficult-to-replicate pharmacokinetic profiles. Our Specialty Generics pipeline consists of several products in various stages of development. We currently perform most of our development work at our Specialty Generics headquarters and technical development center in Webster Groves, Missouri.

This decrease was due to decreasedin net sales from both of our segments as overall net sales growth was impactedprimarily driven by the extra selling week during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Our Specialty Generics segment continues to experience a decrease in net sales due toof Acthar Gel, partially offset by continued strength in Ofirmev, Inomax, Therakos and Amitiza, as well as increased competition and customer consolidation, which has resulted in downward pricing pressure. Our Specialty Brands segment experienced a decrease in net sales from the Specialty Generics segment as it continues in Other branded products primarily driven by the sale of our Intrathecal Therapy business in the first quarter of 2017. Net sales relatedits return to Acthar also experienced a decrease, impacted by the extra selling week during the comparable period in 2016 and volume declines. We believe these lower volumes of Acthar resulted from an increasing number of written prescriptions going unfilled due to the challenging reimbursement environment.growth.

The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin was partiallyprimarily attributable to channel consolidationan additional $29.8 million of amortization for the Ofirmev intangible asset resulting from a change in amortization method as discussed further in Note 10 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as higher depreciation expense. The additional amortization and increased price competitiondepreciation expense was partially offset by a decrease in the Specialty Generics business, contributingamortization of the inventory fair value adjustments related to a $46.2 million decline in that segment's gross profit. Also negatively impacting gross profit thisAmitiza, which was fully amortized during the first quarter was the lower net sales in the higher margin Specialty Brands business and a $10.6 million increase in royalty expense attributable to our Specialty Brands segment.of 2019.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 29, 2017June 28, 2019 were $205.7$225.9 million, compared with $267.8$189.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decreaseJune 29, 2018, an increase of $62.1$36.0 million, or 23.2%19.0%. This increase was primarily driven by a $27.5 million decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to stannsoporfin recorded during the three months ended June 29, 2018. The decreaseremaining increase was attributable to various factors, including a smaller unfavorable adjustment$18.9 million in costs related to contingent consideration liabilities,the Separation, inclusive of rebranding initiatives, and an increase in legal expense, partially offset by cost benefits gained from restructuring actions, including lower employee compensation costs professional fees, acquisition related expenses and pension expense following the settlement of our defined benefit pension plans; all of which were partially offset by a loss from the effects of our foreign currency hedges, which was entered into during the nine months ended September 29, 2017, charitable contributions and legal expenses.advertising costs.

The decrease was attributable to lower spend in the Specialty Generics segment and the sale of our Intrathecal Therapy business in the first quarter of 2017. These decreases were partially offset by increased R&D expenses in our Specialty Brands segment, where our pipeline products are concentrated.June 29, 2018. Current R&D activities focus on performing clinical studies and publishing clinical and non-clinical experiences and evidence that support health economic activities and patient outcomes. As a percentage of net sales, R&D expenses were 7.5%9.7% and 7.7%11.2% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 28, 2019 and June 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016,2018, respectively.

Non-Operating Items
Interest expense and interest income. During the three months ended September 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016,2018, net interest expense was $91.3$69.3 million and $93.5$93.7 million, respectively. InterestThis decrease was primarily attributable to the recognition of an $8.6 million benefit to interest expense during the three months ended September 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016 included $5.3 million andJune 28, 2019, due to a lapse of certain statute of limitations, in addition to a $6.3 million respectively,decrease in interest accrued on deferred tax liabilities associated with our previously outstanding installment notes. For further information, refer to Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, a lower average outstanding debt balance during the three months ended June 28, 2019 yielded a decrease in interest expense of non-cash interest expense. In addition, interest$7.8 million over the comparable period.

Our Other products experienced a $21.8 million or 68.3%2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily driven by a $26.8 million or 9.1% decrease in Acthar Gel net sales driven primarily by continued reimbursement challenges impacting new and returning patients and continued payer scrutiny on overall specialty pharmaceutical spending, partially offset by strength in Inomax, Ofirmev, Therakos and Amitiza resulting in increased net sales of $8.7 million, $4.9 million, $4.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to the sale of our Intrathecal Therapy business in the first quarter of 2017, which contributed $12.3 million of net sales during the comparable period in 2016. The decrease in net sales related to our Other products was also driven by a $4.6 million decrease in net sales of Exalgo (hydromorphone HCI) extended-release tablets, CII ("Exalgo"). Net sales related to Acthar decreased by $18.3 million or 5.6% compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016, impacted by the extra selling week during the comparable period in 2016 and volume declines.

In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized us to reduce our outstanding debt at our discretion. As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by us, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During
Debt reduction continues to be one of the nineprimary focuses of our capital allocation strategy for fiscal 2019.

The value of the environmental, health and safety indemnity was measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the costs expected to be


incurred to address environmental, health and safety claims made under the indemnity. The aggregate fair value of these indemnification obligations did not differ significantly from their aggregate carrying value at September 29, 2017. As of September 29, 2017, the maximum future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations was $70.2 million. We were required to pay $30.0 million into an escrow account as collateral to the purchaser, of which $18.2 million remained in other assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 29, 2017.
We have recorded liabilities for known indemnification obligations included as part of environmental liabilities, whichindemnities are discussed in Note 1613 of the unaudited notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition, we are also liable for product performance, and have established accruals as necessary; however, we believe, given the information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of these obligations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We were previously required to provide the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating our ability to fund the decommissioning of our Maryland Heights, Missouri radiopharmaceuticals production facility upon closure. Following the sale of the Nuclear Imaging business, the surety bond was canceled in April 2017 and the Company is no longer required to provide financial assurance to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As of September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, we had various other letters of credit, guarantees and surety bonds totaling $29.1$36.2 million. There has been no change in our off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 28, 2019.
We exchanged title to $16.0 million of our plant assets in return for an equal amount of Industrial Revenue Bonds ("IRB") issued by Saint Louis County. We also simultaneously leased such assets back from Saint Louis County under a capital lease expiring in December 2025, the terms of which provide us with the right of offset against the IRBs. The lease also provides an option for us to repurchase the assets at the end of the lease for nominal consideration. These transactions collectively result in a property tax abatement for ten years from the date the property was placed in service. Due to the right of offset, the capital lease obligations and IRB assets are recorded net, and therefore do not appear in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We expect that the right of offset will be applied to payments required under these arrangements.
In addition, the separation and distribution agreement entered into with Covidien provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility of the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Covidien's remaining business with Covidien, among other indemnities.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
We believe that our accounting policies for revenue recognition, goodwill and other intangible assets, acquisitions, contingencies and income taxes are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. During the ninesix months ended September 29, 2017June 28, 2019, there were no significant changes to these policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.December 28, 2018.

Refer to Note 9 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for our adoption of ASU 2016-02, "Leases," and its related amendments.

Forward-Looking Statements
We have made forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, potential growth opportunities, potential operating performance improvements and the effects of competition, litigation and the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "project," "anticipate," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "may," "should," “will,” “would,” “could”"will," "would," "could" or the negative of these terms or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
The risk factors included within Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016December 28, 2018 and within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.





These forward-looking statements are made as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements other than as required by law.


Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our operations include activities in the U.S. and countries outside of the U.S. These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. We do not utilize derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.


Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt instruments, which bear interest based on LIBOR plus margin. As of September 29, 2017,June 28, 2019, our outstanding debt included $1,855.7$1,929.3 million variable-rate debt on our senior secured term loans, no$405.0 million outstanding borrowings on our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and $200.0 million variable-rate debt on our receivables securitization program. Assuming a one percent increase in the applicable interest rates, in excess of applicable minimum floors, quarterly interest expense would increase by approximately $5.1$6.3 million.
The remaining outstanding debt as of September 29, 2017June 28, 2019 is fixed-rate debt. Changes in market interest rates generally affect the fair value of fixed-rate debt, but do not impact earnings or cash flows.



Currency Risk
Certain net sales and costs of our non-U.S.international operations are denominated in the local currency of the respective countries. As such, profits from these subsidiaries may be impacted by fluctuations in the value of these local currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar.dollar. We also have significant intercompany financing arrangements that may result in gains and losses in our results of operations. In an effort to mitigate the impact of currency exchange rate effects we may hedge certain operational and intercompany transactions; however, our hedging strategies may not fully offset gains and losses recognized in our results of operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income is significantly exposed to currency risk from intercompany financing arrangements, which primarily consist of intercompany debt and intercompany cash pooling, where the denominated currency of the transaction differs from the functional currency of one or more of our subsidiaries. We performed a sensitivity analysis for these arrangements as of September 29, 2017June 28, 2019 that measuresmeasured the potential unfavorable impact to income from continuing operations before income taxes from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse movement in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar,dollar, with all other variables held constant. There is an $0.8 millionThe aggregate potential unfavorable impact from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in foreign exchange rates was $0.2 million aggregate potential as of September 29, 2017.June 28, 2019. This hypothetical loss does not reflect any hypothetical benefits that would be derived from hedging activities, including cash holdings in similar foreign currencies that we have historically utilized to mitigate our exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates.
The financial results of our non-U.S.international operations are translated into U.S. Dollars,dollars, further exposing us to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We have performed a sensitivity analysis as of September 29, 2017June 28, 2019 that measures the change in the net financial position arising from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse movement in the exchange rates of all foreign currencies used, including the Euro and the Canadian Dollar, our most widely used foreign currencies, relative to the U.S. Dollar,dollar, with all other variables held constant. The aggregate potential change in net financial position from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in the above currencies was $13.4$14.6 million as of September 29, 2017June 28, 2019. The change in the net financial position associated with the translation of these currencies is generally recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency translation within accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss in shareholders' equity of our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly


Report on Form 10-Q.
As previously disclosed under “Part II - Item 9A - Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2018, the Company did not design and maintain sufficiently precise or effective review and approval controls over the future cash flow forecasts used to develop certain management estimates, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets. Management concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness. This material weakness did not result in a material misstatement to the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, management, under the oversight of the executive leadership team and those charged with governance, completed the remedial actions below to improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediated the design of the material weakness:
Continued to emphasize the importance of, and monitor the sustained compliance with, the execution of our internal controls over financial reporting through, among other activities, numerous meetings and trainings.
Enhanced, and will continue to enhance, the design of internal controls governing oversight and evaluation of future cash flow forecasts used to develop certain management estimates, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets.  
Tested the design effectiveness of the enhanced internal controls by performing them to re-evaluate the appropriateness, and test the accuracy, of information used to develop future cash flow forecasts in 2018.
Concluded the enhanced controls were designed effectively and developed a plan to implement them to support future cash flow forecasts in 2019.
During the three months ended March 29, 2019, we successfully completed the actions above of testing the design of the enhanced internal controls to the extent necessary to conclude that the deficiencies in the design of the internal controls over future cash flows have been remediated. We will test and conclude on the operating effectiveness of these controls as they occur in 2019. Based on thatthe activities and evaluation described above, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date,June 28, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The remediation efforts were intended both to address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. Management is committed to continuous improvement of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There hashave been no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019 that hashave materially affected, or is reasonablyare likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including patent infringement claims,government investigations, environmental matters, product liability matters, environmental matters,patent infringement claims, employment disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes, including those described in Note 16 of the unaudited notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.below. We believe that these legal proceedings and claims likely will be resolved over an extended period of time. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe, unless indicated in Note 16 of the unaudited notes to condensed consolidated financial statements,below, given the information currently available, that their ultimate resolutionsresolution will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Opioid-Related Matters
Since 2017, multiple U.S. states, counties, other governmental persons or entities and private plaintiffs have filed lawsuits against certain entities of our company, as well as various other manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, individual doctors and/or others, asserting claims relating to defendants’ alleged sales, marketing, distribution, reimbursement, prescribing, dispensing and/or other practices with respect to prescription opioid medications, including certain of our products. As of August 6, 2019, the cases we are aware of include, but are not limited to, approximately 2,153 cases filed by counties, cities, Native American tribes and/or other government-related persons or entities; approximately 140 cases filed by hospitals, health systems,



unions, health and welfare funds or other third-party payers; approximately 103 cases filed by individuals and 10 cases filed by the Attorneys General for New Mexico, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Georgia, Florida, Alaska, New York, Hawaii, Nevada and Idaho, with Idaho being the only state Attorney General to file in federal as opposed to state court. Certain of the lawsuits have been filed as putative class actions.
Federal Lawsuits
Most pending federal lawsuits have been coordinated in a federal multi-district litigation (“MDL”) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The MDL court has issued a series of case management orders permitting motion practice addressing threshold legal issues in certain cases, allowing discovery, setting pre-trial deadlines and setting a trial date on October 21, 2019 for two cases originally filed in the Northern District of Ohio by Summit County and Cuyahoga County against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies. The counties claim that opioid manufacturers’ marketing activities changed the medical standard of care for treating both chronic and acute pain, which led to increases in the sales of their prescription opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers’ and distributors’ failure to maintain effective controls against diversion was a substantial cause of the opioid crisis.
Summit County filed a complaint on December 20, 2017, an amended complaint that added us on April 25, 2018, and a second amended complaint on May 18, 2018. The manufacturer defendants jointly moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on May 25, 2018. Judge Polster, who is presiding over the MDL, denied the motion on December 19, 2018. Summit County filed a third amended complaint on March 21, 2019, which alleges violations of Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”), the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act, statutory public nuisance, common law absolute public nuisance, negligence, common law fraud, violations of Injury Through Criminal Acts, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy. Summit County seeks damages including but not limited to actual damages, treble damages, equitable and/or injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement of profits, compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, all costs and expenses of suit, and pre- and post-judgment interest. Cuyahoga County filed a complaint on October 21, 2017, and an amended complaint on April 25, 2018 that added us. Cuyahoga County filed a third amended complaint on May 10, 2019. The third amended complaint contains causes of action and damages similar to those in the Summit County litigation. In June 2019, the parties filed motions for summary judgment and Daubert motions in Summit County and Cuyahoga County. The parties are in the process of briefing the summary judgment and Daubert motions and anticipate that all briefs will be submitted by the end of August 2019.
We are also named in 235 similar state court cases in 29 states. These state court cases include actions filed by (1) state attorneys general; (2) counties, cities, and other municipalities; (3) district attorneys; (4) hospitals and other health systems; (5) individuals; (6) third-party payers; and (7) Native American Tribes. There are differences among these cases. For furtherinstance, counties and cities often seek to recoup governmental expenses related to public services, while hospitals and other health systems typically seek compensation for opioid-related medical services. These cases also contain different causes of action. For example, state attorneys general complaints often utilize consumer protection statutes whereas third-party payers tend to focus on claims of fraud and breach of implied warranties. Further, not all lawsuits name the same defendants - some name manufacturers and distributors, while others also include pharmacies, pain clinics, doctors, and/or other individuals as defendants.
On June 14, 2019, MDL Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Motion and Motion for Certification of Rule 23(b)(3) Cities/Counties Negotiation Class. On July 9, 2019, the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee filed an Amended Motion for Class Certification. In July 2019, parties and third parties filed responses and replies to Plaintiffs' Amended Motion for Class Certification. A hearing on the Amended Motion took place on August 6, 2019.
State Court Lawsuits
A.Lawsuits Filed by State Attorneys General
Nine state attorneys general have filed lawsuits against us in their respective state courts. The Florida Attorney General was the first attorney general to file suit against us on May 15, 2018. The Nevada Attorney General filed the most recent attorney general lawsuit against us on June 17, 2019. In general, the state attorneys general allege that opioid manufacturers engaged in fraudulent or misleading marketing activities that led to increases in the sales of their prescription opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers and distributors failed to maintain effective controls against diversion and to identify, report, and halt suspicious orders. For example, on August 14, 2018, the New York Attorney General brought an action against Purdue in the coordinated opioid litigation in Suffolk County, New York. An amended complaint was filed on March 28, 2019, naming us, among other opioid manufacturers, distributors, and individuals. The amended complaint alleges state law violations of the New York State Finance Law, the New York Social Service Law, the New York General Business Law, the New York Controlled Substance Act, and the New York Executive Law, as well as public nuisance, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, and unjust enrichment against us. The amended complaint seeks, among other remedies, declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, the creation of an abatement fund, damages, civil penalties, and the disgorgement of profits. Certain defendants, including us, filed motions to dismiss on May 31, 2019. The State of New York opposed the motions on July 31, 2019 and defendants have until August 30, 2019 to reply. While the New York Attorney



General action is illustrative, there are differences between the cases filed by state attorneys general. Each lawsuit contains different causes of action, including different common law claims and alleged violations of state-specific statutes. The lawsuits also contain different claims for damages. For instance, the Kentucky and Hawaii actions seek punitive damages, but the Florida action does not. Further, not all lawsuits name the same defendants - some name manufacturers and distributors, while others also include pharmacies and/or individuals as defendants. The New York Attorney General action is currently part of the Track One cases in the New York consolidated proceedings in Suffolk County, New York, with a trial scheduled to begin on March 2, 2020.
B.Lawsuits Filed by Cities, Counties, and Other Municipalities
There are currently more than 198 lawsuits against us filed by cities, counties, and other municipalities, pending in various state courts in 21 states. The earliest lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by the County of Northampton, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2017. In general, the complaints allege that opioid manufacturers engaged in fraudulent or misleading marketing activities that led to increases in the sales of their prescription opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers and distributors failed to maintain effective controls against diversion and to identify, report, and halt suspicious orders. For example, on May 16, 2018, Clark County filed an amended complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada and named us as a defendant, among other opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies. The amended complaint alleges violations of statutory public nuisance, common law public nuisance, negligent misrepresentation, negligence, and unjust enrichment. Clark County seeks damages including but not limited to compensatory and punitive damages, general damages, special damages, a fund for establishing a medical monitoring program, restitution and reimbursement, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Defendants filed motions to dismiss on October 19, 2018, which were denied on March 19, 2019. On June 4, 2019, the court denied defendants’ motion for partial reconsideration concerning their motions to dismiss. Several defendants, including us, have petitioned the Nevada Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to dismiss the case, as well as a stay of proceedings pending resolution of that petition. While the Clark County action is illustrative, there are differences between the cases filed by cities, counties and other municipalities. These lawsuits contain different causes of action, including different common law claims and alleged violations of state-specific statutes. For example, municipalities in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia assert violations of their state consumer protection statutes, while many other states do not. The lawsuits also contain different claims for damages. For example, the City of Granite City and the County of Jersey, Illinois seek damages for particular public health expenditures, while municipalities in other states allege damages related more generally to costs for public services. Further, not all lawsuits name the same defendants - some name manufacturers and distributors, while others also include pharmacies and/or individuals as defendants.
In some jurisdictions, such as Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia, certain of the 198 state lawsuits filed by counties, cities and other municipalities have been coordinated for pre-trial proceedings before a single court within their respective state court systems. The first coordinated proceeding was formed in New York on July 31, 2017. The most recent state coordinated proceeding was formed in Massachusetts on June 13, 2019. We are not named as a defendant in each case that may be pending in a particular state court MDL or coordinated proceeding. For example, approximately 49 cases filed by Texas counties are consolidated in the In re: Texas Opioid Litigation, No. 2018-63587, MDL No. 18-0358 (the “Texas MDL”), of which we are named in 16 cases. The Texas complaints generally allege violations of public nuisance, negligence, the Texas Controlled Substances Act, the Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act, unjust enrichment, common law fraud, and civil conspiracy, though there are differences among the complaints. Plaintiffs seek damages including but not limited to injunctive relief, economic and treble damages arising from alleged violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act, civil penalties for violations of the Texas Controlled Substances Act, abatement of public nuisance, injunctive relief, punitive and actual damages, restitution, and attorneys’ fees. We have filed answers in certain cases. A hearing on bellwether selection and other trial scheduling matters occurred on July 26, 2019, in which eight bellwether counties and alternates were selected as candidates for four trials, the first two of which are tentatively scheduled to occur in October 2020 and January 2021. We are currently named in four out of the eight selected bellwether counties but plaintiffs may amend their complaints to add us to the other four cases. While the Texas MDL is illustrative, there are differences between the coordinated cases. Each states’ coordinated proceedings contain different causes of action, including different common law claims and alleged violations of state-specific statutes. For example, municipalities in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas assert violations of their state unfair or deceptive trade practices acts, while other plaintiffs do not. The lawsuits also contain different claims for damages. For example, some of the cases in the Texas MDL request exemplary and punitive damages for gross negligence, while other cases do not. Further, not all lawsuits name the same defendants-some name manufacturers and distributors, while others also include pharmacies and/or individuals as defendants. A Case Management Order has been entered in the New York consolidated cases in Suffolk County, which provides for two separate case tracks to proceed to discovery and ultimately to trial. We are named in the three Track One cases with a trial scheduled to begin on March 2, 2020.
C.Lawsuits Filed by District Attorneys General
Three District Attorneys General (“DAGs”) have also filed lawsuits in state court against us. In general, they allege that defendants engaged in false and deceptive promotion of opioids and contributed to the oversupply and diversion of those products. They also allege that defendants’ actions caused high addiction rates, overdose deaths, and increased rates of neonatal abstinence syndrome. The DAGs have initiated lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributors, prescribers, retailers, and other individuals. The DAGs allege that defendants participated in an illegal opioids market and that plaintiffs suffered damages related to increased law



enforcement and health care costs, expenses related to rehabilitation and addiction treatment, prosecution costs, and foster care expenses, among others. Staubus et al. v. Purdue Pharma, LP et al., No. C-41916was filed in the Circuit Court for Sullivan County on June 13, 2017 and amended on July 27, 2017 and February 15, 2018. We joined a motion to dismiss filed by the manufacturer defendants and filed a supplemental motion to dismiss regarding Company-specific claims on March 23, 2018. The court held a hearing on the motion to dismiss, in addition to other motions, on May 8, 2018. The court denied the motions to dismiss in an order filed on June 12, 2018. We filed an answer to the second amended complaint on June 29, 2018. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. Effler et al. v. Purdue Pharma, LP et al., No. 16596was filed in the Circuit Court for Campbell County on September 29, 2017 and amended on October 6, 2017, January 10, 2018 and May 21, 2018. We joined a motion to dismiss filed by the manufacturer defendants on July 27, 2018. The court held a hearing on the motion to dismiss on October 4, 2018 and issued an order granting the manufacturer defendants’ motion to dismiss on October 5, 2018. Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal on November 1, 2018. We joined defendants-appellees’ response brief which was filed on May 28, 2019. Plaintiff-appellants’ filed their reply brief on July 11, 2019, and oral argument occurred on July 18, 2019. Dunaway et al. v. Purdue Pharma, LP et al., No. CCI-2018-cv-6347 was filed in the Circuit Court for Cumberland County on January 10, 2018 and amended on August 7, 2018. We joined a motion to dismiss filed by the manufacturer defendants on September 21, 2018. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on April 1, 2019, adding new defendants. A distributor defendant removed the action on May 3, 2019, and the district court remanded the case on May 22, 2019. We joined a motion to dismiss filed by the manufacturer defendants on July 15, 2019. Plaintiffs' opposition to defendants' motions to dismiss are due on September 30, 2019. Replies are due on October 30, 2019, and oral argument is scheduled for December 16, 2019. There are currently no trials set in these cases.
D.Lawsuits Filed by Hospitals and Health Systems
Hospitals and other health systems have also filed lawsuits in state courts against us, and there are currently three such lawsuits. The first lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by various hospitals and other health systems in West Virginia on April 29, 2019. The second lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by various hospitals and other health systems in Arizona on June 18, 2019. The third lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by various hospitals and other health systems in Tennessee on July 12, 2019. The plaintiffs allege that opioid manufacturers have engaged in fraudulent or misleading marketing activities that led to increases in the sales of their opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers and distributors failed to maintain effective controls against diversion and to identify, report, and halt suspicious orders. For example, on April 29, 2019, various hospitals and other health systems in West Virginia filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia against us, among other opioid manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies and individuals. A first amended complaint was filed on June 7, 2019, which asserts claims for negligence, nuisance, unjust enrichment, fraud and deceit, violation of Kentucky's Consumer Protection Act, civil conspiracy, fraudulent concealment and negligent and intentional diversion and distribution against an individual defendant. The plaintiffs seek judgment against defendants, jointly and severely, and they also seek damages and costs. This case will likely be transferred to West Virginia's Mass Litigation Panel. While the West Virginia action is illustrative, there are differences between these cases. Each lawsuit contains different causes of action, including different common law claims and alleged violations of state-specific statutes. The lawsuits also name different defendants: the Arizona plaintiff names manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies as defendants, while the West Virginia and Tennessee plaintiffs also include individuals as defendants. There are currently no trials set in these cases.
E.Lawsuits Filed by Individuals
Individuals have filed lawsuits in state courts against us, and there are currently nine such lawsuits. The first lawsuit that remains in state court was initially filed by the Estate of Bruce Brockel in the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama, on October 25, 2017, and amended to add us to plaintiff’s first amended complaint on February 5, 2018. The most recent lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by plaintiff Tina Batts in the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court, City of St. Louis, Missouri, on July 29, 2019. In general, these lawsuits allege that opioid manufacturers have engaged in fraudulent or misleading marketing activities that led to increases in the sales of their opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers and distributors failed to maintain effective controls against diversion and to identify, report, and halt suspicious orders. Individual plaintiffs generally claim that they suffered damages related to increased healthcare costs, or wrongful death. For example, on December 5, 2018, the Estate of Bruce Brockel filed a third amended complaint in the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama against us, among other prescription opioid manufacturers and individual doctors. The complaint contains a variety of causes of actions, including medical malpractice, negligence, wantonness, Alabama extended manufacturer’s doctrine, fraud and misrepresentation, suppression and concealment, deceit, unjust enrichment and civil conspiracy. The plaintiff alleges that manufacturers engaged in the false and deceptive promotion of opioids, which led to the oversupply of opioids and caused decedent’s death. The plaintiff seeks damages in an unspecified amount. We moved to dismiss the complaint on March 26, 2019. An opposition to the motion to dismiss was filed on April 25, 2019. The motion is currently pending. While the Brockel action is illustrative, there are differences among the cases filed by individuals. Many of these lawsuits contain different causes of action. For example, Brockel asserts a claim for civil conspiracy, while five of the individual actions filed in Missouri state court do not. One of the cases, Robert Ruth, is a putative class action, asserting claims on behalf of Missouri citizens who purchased or paid for health insurance policies. Further, not all lawsuits name the same defendants - for example, some name manufacturers, while others also include individuals as defendants. There are currently no trials set in these cases.



F.Lawsuits Filed by Third-Party Payers
Third-party payers, such as insurers, have also filed lawsuits in state courts against us. There are currently six such lawsuits. The first lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by UFCW, Local 23 and Employers Health Fund in Pennsylvania on April 24, 2018. The most recent lawsuit that remains in state court, the Illinois Public Risk Fund, was filed on May 10, 2019. In general, plaintiffs allege that opioid manufacturers have engaged in fraudulent or misleading marketing activities that led to increases in the sales of their opioid products. They also allege that opioid manufacturers and distributors failed to maintain effective controls against diversion and to identify, report, and halt suspicious orders. Third-party payer plaintiffs claim that they paid costs for health issues stemming from opioid overuse.
The Illinois Public Risk Fund case asserts state law claims against the Company such as violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, fraudulent misrepresentation, insurance fraud, negligence, public nuisance and unjust enrichment. Fire and Police Retiree Health Care Fund, filed in Bexar County District Court in Texas and transferred to the Texas MDL, asserts similar state law claims against us, including public nuisance, common law fraud, negligence, gross negligence, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy and fraudulent concealment. The remaining four cases are in Pennsylvania state court and have been consolidated in the coordinated proceedings in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania complaints assert state law claims for violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law statute, public nuisance, negligence, unjust enrichment, common law fraud, breach of implied warranties, negligence per se, negligent misrepresentation, negligent marketing and civil conspiracy. Defendants’ joint preliminary objections await rulings and certain test cases are proceeding to discovery. There are differences between these cases.  Certain of these lawsuits contain different causes of action.  For example, a case filed by Carpenters Health and Welfare Fund of Philadelphia and Vicinity asserts a claim for public nuisance, while a case filed by the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, District Council 21 Welfare Funddoes not. The lawsuits also contain different claims for damages. For instance, Carpenters Health seeks a declaratory judgment regarding plaintiffs’ public nuisance claims, but Painters and Allied Trades does not. Further, not all lawsuits name the same defendants - some name manufacturers, while at least one lawsuit includes individuals as defendants. There are currently no trials set in these cases.

G.Lawsuits Filed by Native American Tribes
Seven Native American tribes have also filed lawsuits in state court against us that remain in state court. All seven cases were filed in state courts in Oklahoma. The first lawsuit that remains in state court was filed by Citizen Potawatomi Nation on July 15, 2019. The most recent lawsuits that remain in state court were filed by the Thlopthlocco Indian Tribal Town and Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma on July 30, 2019. In general, the Native American tribes allege that defendants downplayed the risks of prescription opioids, overstated their benefits, used third-parties to promote false information about prescription opioids, and failed to prevent the diversion of prescription opioid products. All seven complaints assert claims for public nuisance, actual and constructive fraud, negligence and negligent misrepresentation, civil conspiracy and unjust enrichment. Plaintiffs in all seven cases seek punitive damages, actual damages, compensation for past and future costs of abatement, an abatement fund and attorneys' fees and costs. We have not yet filed a response to any of the seven complaints.
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against all of these lawsuits as detailed above and similar lawsuits that may be brought by others. Since these lawsuits are in early stages, we are unable to predict outcomes or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses.
Investigations and Other Inquiries
In addition to the lawsuits described above, certain entities of the Company have received subpoenas and civil investigative demands (“CIDs”) for information concerning the sale, marketing and/or distribution of prescription opioid medications and the Company’s suspicious order monitoring programs, including from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Attorneys General for Missouri, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Washington, Alaska, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, New York, West Virginia, Indiana and the Divisions of Consumer Protection and Occupational and Professional Licensing of the Utah Department of Commerce. We have been contacted by the coalition of State Attorneys General investigating the role manufacturers and distributors may have had in contributing to the increased use of opioids in the U.S. On January 27, 2018, we received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorneys’ Office (“USAO”) for the Southern District of Florida for documents related to the distribution, marketing and sale of generic oxymorphone products. On April 17, 2019, we received a grand jury subpoena from the USAO for the Eastern District of New York (“EDNY”) for documents related to the sales and marketing of controlled substances, the policies and procedures regarding controlled substances, and other related documents. On June 4, 2019, we received a rider from the USAO for EDNY requesting additional documents regarding our anti-diversion program. We are responding or have responded to these subpoenas, CIDs and any informal requests for documents.
The Attorneys General for Kentucky, Alaska and New York have subsequently filed lawsuits against us. Similar subpoenas and investigations may be brought by others or the foregoing matters may be expanded or result in litigation. Since these investigations and/or lawsuits are in early stages, we are unable to predict outcomes or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses.



New York State Opioid Stewardship Act
On October 24, 2018, we filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the State of New York, asking the court to declare New York State’s Opioid Stewardship Act (“OSA”) unconstitutional and to enjoin its enforcement. On December 19, 2018, the court declared the OSA unconstitutional and granted our motion for preliminary injunctive relief. On January 17, 2019, the State of New York appealed the court’s decision. We intend to vigorously assert our position in this matter. In April 2019, the State of New York passed its 2020 budget, which amended the OSA so that if the OSA decision is reversed on pending legal proceedings, referappeal, the OSA would apply only to the sale or distribution of certain opioids in New York for 2017 and 2018 and, effective July 1, 2019, imposed an excise tax on certain opioids.
DEA Investigation
In November 2011 and October 2012, we received subpoenas from the DEA requesting production of documents relating to our suspicious order monitoring program for controlled substances. The USAO for the Eastern District of Michigan investigated the possibility that we failed to report suspicious orders of controlled substances during the period 2006-2011 in violation of the Controlled Substances Act and its related regulations. The USAO for the Northern District of New York and Office of Chief Counsel for the U.S. DEA investigated the possibility that we failed to maintain appropriate records and security measures with respect to manufacturing of certain controlled substances at our Hobart facility during the period 2012-2013. In July 2017, we entered into a final settlement with the DEA and the USAOs for the Eastern District of Michigan and the Northern District of New York to settle these investigations. As part of the agreement, we paid $35.0 million in fiscal 2017 to resolve all potential claims and agreed, as part of a Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”), to utilize all available transaction information to identify suspicious orders of any of our controlled substance products and to report to the DEA when we conclude that chargeback data or other information indicates that a downstream registrant poses a risk of diversion, among other things. The MOA remains in effect until July 10, 2020, but we will continue utilizing all available transaction information to identify suspicious orders for reporting to the DEA beyond that date.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Investigation of Opioid Marketing and Distribution
In August 2018, we received a letter from the leaders of the Energy and Commerce Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives requesting a range of documents relating to our marketing and distribution of opioids. We completed our response to this letter in December 2018. We will cooperate with the investigation, which is expected to continue and may ultimately result in a congressional hearing in the second half of 2019.
