We are pleased to inform you that on March 22, 2024, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an Order confirming the Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Endo International plc And Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Plan”). The Plan became effective as of April 23, 2024 (the “Effective Date”).
The Plan allows for the creation of an Endo Future Personal Injury Trust (the “Endo Future PI Trust”) to assume liability for Future Opioid PI Claims, Future Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (“NAS”) PI Claims, and Future Mesh Claims (collectively, the “Future PI Claim(s)”).
A Future Opioid PI Claim is a claim held by a natural person (a) resulting from an injury to such natural person identified on the Claim Form; (b) arising from such natural person’s own use of an Endo Qualifying Opioid, or arising from the use by a decedent of an Endo Qualifying Opioid, in each case, prior to January 1, 2019; and (c) whose first injury resulting from such use manifested after the General Bar Date of July 7, 2023, or, solely with respect to Foreign Claimants, the Extended Foreign Bar Date.

A Future Mesh Claim means any mesh claim against the Debtor held by an individual (a) who has a transvaginal mesh Product manufactured by any of the Debtors, the Non-Debtor Affiliates, any of their respective current and former Affiliates, or any of their respective predecessors implanted in such individual before the Petition Date; and (b) whose first injury from such implantation manifested after the General Bar Date of July 7, 2023, or, solely with respect to Foreign Claimants, the Extended Foreign Bar Date.
