Purdue Pharma L.P. Receives Court Approval of Disclosure Statement Filed in Connection with its Plan of Reorganization
STAMFORD, Conn.--(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. Purdue Pharma and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and market medications to meet the evolving needs of healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers. Purdue and its subsidiaries focus on balancing innovative science with clinically effective, compassionate care. The Company's goals are to serve patients who rely on its medicines, pursue public health initiatives intended to help abate the opioid crisis, advance its pipeline of branded and generic medications, and introduce medicines that will help save and improve lives.

GOL Receives U.S. Court Approval for Plan of Reorganization
Company to Emerge from United States Chapter 11 Process with Strengthened Competitive Position, Balance Sheet and Operational Performance New US$ 1.9 Billion Exit Financing Facility Provides Ample Cash to Support Strategic Execution Following Emergence Expects to Complete Chapter 11 Process in June 2025 SíO PAULO, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (B3: GOLL4) ("Company" or "GOL"), one of the leading airlines in Brazil, today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has decided to confirm GOL's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"). With confirmation secured, GOL remains on track to emerge from its restructuring process in early June 2025. Throughout the course of its United States Chapter 11 process, GOL has made significant strides forward in improving its competitive position, financial foundation and operational performance. Key milestones of the process included: Securing US$ 1 billion in debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing, which bolstered liquidity and allowed GOL to re-invest in its aircraft fleet; Negotiating concession packages totaling US$ 1.1 billion from lessors covering all aircraft in GOL's fleet, including financial support to clear its maintenance backlog while also providing permanent savings on rent and end of lease obligations; Obtaining support from Brazilian banks, including restructuring approximately US$ 150 million of local debentures and access to approximately US$ 340 million of receivables factoring, a critical working capital tool for Brazilian companies; Identifying and beginning implementation of a US$ 181 million annual profit improvement program to solidify GOL as one of the most cost competitive airlines in South America; Negotiating a Plan Support Agreement with Abra Group Limited ("Abra") and the Unsecured Creditors Committee to deleverage GOL through a reduction of up to approximately US$ 1.6 billion of prepetition funded debt and up to US$ 0.8 billion of other obligations; Finalizing an agreement with the Brazilian governmental authorities to reduce unpaid government taxes, contingencies, and other liabilities by approximately US$ 750 million and to generate approximately US$ 184 million of liquidity through 2029; Reaching an agreement with The Boeing Company on modifications of the purchase contracts to provide US$ 262 million of concessions and incremental liquidity through 2029 and over US$ 0.7 billion of total relief; and Securing US$ 1.9 billion in exit financing which provides ample liquidity to repay the Company's DIP maturity in full upon emergence, while also providing additional liquidity to support GOL's execution of its business plan. The Company is now positioned to emerge from the process with: Meaningfully strengthened balance sheet: Upon emergence, GOL will move forward with a strong liquidity position of approximately US$ 900M and significantly reduced leverage of 5.4x at exit, and projected net leverage of 2.9x by year-end 2027. Overhauled all-Boeing 737 fleet on track to return to pre-pandemic domestic capacity: In 2024, GOL overhauled over 50 engines and remains on track to have all aircraft in the air by the first quarter of 2026. The Company also continues to strengthen its fleet, with expected delivery of five additional Boeing 737 MAX in 2025. Positive business momentum built on recent outperformance: As a result of the fleet overhaul, in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, GOL's operational and financial performance has exceeded the expectations previously outlined in its 5-Year Plan, with strong and growing demand translating to 17.4% year-over-year recurring EBITDA growth and 19.4% year-over-year net revenue growth in the first quarter. GOL is entering its next phase with a strong market position and best-in-class customer offering as it continues to rebuild its network in key markets, serving 30 million passengers across 65 domestic destinations and 16 international destinations in 2024. Driven by its mission of being "First for All," GOL offers passengers the largest number of seats, more space between seats and the greatest onboard experience including internet, movies and live TV. Through its Smiles loyalty program, which is the largest loyalty program in Brazil and the second largest program in Latin America, GOL offers customers access to over 50 partner airlines, three co-branded credit card options and over 550,000 product options to redeem on non-travel partners. As the Company continues to execute its proven network expansion strategy, GOL is well-positioned to deploy its rebuilt capacity both domestically and internationally by leveraging its significant presence in key Brazilian hubs. In particular, its strategic global partnerships allow for adding new service profitably to new or underserved domestic and international routes. Next StepsHaving secured confirmation of its Plan, GOL is now focused on completing the final steps necessary to complete its exit from the Chapter 11 process, including its shareholders' meeting to approve the capital increase contemplated under the Plan, which will take place on May 30, 2025. Following implementation of the Plan, Abra will remain GOL's largest indirect shareholder. GOL reiterates that, under the terms of the Plan, it will significantly reduce its indebtedness by converting into equity or extinguishing up to approximately US$ 1.6 billion of its pre-Chapter 11 funded debt and up to approximately US$ 850 million of other obligations. As such, considering that the conversion will be carried out based on the economic value of GOL's shares prior to the conversion, in accordance with applicable law, a substantial dilution of GOL's currently outstanding shares is expected (subject to shareholders' preemptive rights as provided under Brazilian law). AdvisorsIn the context of its restructuring efforts, GOL is working with Milbank LLP as legal advisor, Seabury Securities, LLC as investment banker, lead placement agent for the US$ 1.9 billion exit notes, financial advisor and sole restructuring advisor, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. as bookrunner (B&D) and placement agent for the exit notes, and AlixPartners, LLP as financial advisor.
