Purdue Pharma L.P. Receives Court Approval of Disclosure Statement Filed in Connection with its Plan of Reorganization
Plan to deliver more than $7.4 billion of creditor distributions
Company to begin creditor vote solicitation process; voting deadline set for September 30, 2025
STAMFORD, Conn., June 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Purdue Pharma L.P. ("Purdue") today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") approved the Company's disclosure statement for its Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. The disclosure statement provides creditors with detailed information on the terms of the Plan and will accompany the ballots that will be sent to the more than 600,000 claimants eligible to vote.
The court has set a September 30 voting deadline and a November confirmation hearing.
"Following the 2024 Supreme Court ruling, we doubled down on our commitment to work with our creditors to design a new Plan that delivers unprecedented value to those affected by the opioid crisis. Today's disclosure statement approval is a major milestone in that effort," said Purdue Board Chairman Steve Miller. "We and our creditors have worked tirelessly in mediation to build consensus and negotiate a settlement that will increase the total value provided to victims and communities, put billions of dollars to work on day one, and serve the public good. We sincerely thank our stakeholders for their dedication and collaboration, and we look forward to having the plan confirmed and consummated as quickly as possible."
Purdue's Plan of Reorganization includes the following elements:
Assuming full creditor participation, the Sacklers will make settlement payments of approximately $6.5 billion in installments over the next 15 years, subject to certain reserves. They will pay $1.5 billion on the day the Plan becomes effective.
Purdue will contribute 100% of its assets, with an expected $900 million in cash available for distribution on the day of emergence.
Notably, the Plan is the only opioid settlement to date that meaningfully compensates individual victims. Assuming full participation, individual victims will receive more than $850 million.
In addition to this cash value, the Plan creates a new company with a public minded mission. The new company will provide millions of doses of lifesaving opioid use disorder treatment and overdose reversal medicines at no profit.
The Sacklers, who exited the Board of Purdue by the end of 2018 and have had no involvement in Purdue since that time, will have no role whatsoever in the new company.
Purdue Pharma L.P. will be liquidated following emergence.
The Plan also provides a historic level of transparency. It creates a document repository that will make available to the public millions of documents, including privileged documents, related to Purdue's historical sales and marketing practices.
The Plan does not contain third-party releases and fully complies with the Supreme Court's June 2024 decision in Harrington.
The disclosure statement approved today provides the full details about the material aspects of the plan. The Plan is subject to confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court. This release is not intended as a solicitation of a vote on the Plan.

This 32-inch Insignia Fire TV is only $69.99! (Record-low price)
We know this is not the most exciting TV around, but it isn't supposed to be. Instead, it is meant to be a good screen for the kitchen, dining room, or a smaller bedroom. There's also a reason why it's Amazon's top-selling TV! It is super cheap, especially right now that it's on sale for a mere $69.99. Buy the Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV for just $69.99 ($60 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but since Insignia is a Best Buy brand, it is shipped and sold by Best Buy. We're referring to the 32-inch model, but the 24-inch version costs the same, so you can get a smaller screen if you prefer. Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV A low-end TV for the kids or grandparents. The Insignia F20 series delivers a meager 720p 32-inch panel. But at least you also get Fire TV support, AirPlay functionality, and a low price. See price at Amazon Save $60.00 Limited Time Deal! Again, this is meant to be a less fancy screen for a bedroom, or a smaller space like a kitchen. The display measures 32 inches, and it has a 720p HD resolution, along with a 60Hz refresh rate. Again, nothing fancy, but one thing I am surprised about is that it does come with Fire TV OS baked in. This means you get access to all your favorite streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, and more. You can even use Amazon Luna, so it can handle high-quality games on the cloud! Because it has direct access to Alexa, you can even use the TV to control your smart home devices. You can also ask it for information, request alarms, control skills, and more. In terms of ports, you get three HDMI ports, which is actually quite surprising for such an affordable display. It also has a 3.5mm AUX port and an optical output. At $69.99, it's hard to beat this offer for the right customer. Again, keep in mind this is a record-low price. The last time we saw this TV at this low cost was back in December 2024. The offer may not stick around for long, so take advantage of this deal soon!

Andreessen Horowitz led a $15 million funding round for an artificial intelligence startup called Cluely Inc., famous on social platforms like X for controversial viral marketing stunts and the slogan 'cheat on everything.' The startup was co-founded by 21-year-old Roy Lee, who was booted from Columbia University earlier this year for creating a tool called Interview Coder that helped technical job candidates cheat on interviews using AI. At the time, he wrote on LinkedIn, 'I'm completely kicked out from school. LOL!'
