These factors include risks and uncertainties related to, among other things: the parties’ ability to satisfy the conditions to the Transaction, including required regulatory approvals, and the ability to complete the Transaction on the anticipated timeline or at all; the potential impact of the Transaction on the Company’s businesses and the risk that consummating the Transaction may be more difficult, time-consuming and costly than expected; changes in Mallinckrodt’s board of directors, business strategy and performance;

matters related to Acthar Gel, including the settlement with governmental parties to resolve certain disputes and compliance with and restrictions under the related corporate integrity agreement; the ability to maintain relationships with Mallinckrodt’s suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties following the emergence from the 2023 bankruptcy proceedings, as well as perceptions of the Company's increased performance and credit risks associated with its constrained liquidity position and capital structure; the possibility that Mallinckrodt may be unable to achieve its business and strategic goals even now that the emergence from the 2023 bankruptcy proceedings was successfully consummated; the non-dischargeability of certain claims against Mallinckrodt as part of the bankruptcy process; developing, funding and executing Mallinckrodt’s business plan; Mallinckrodt’s capital structure since its emergence from the 2023 bankruptcy proceedings; scrutiny from governments, legislative bodies and enforcement agencies related to sales, marketing and pricing practices;

the reimbursement practices of governmental health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and other third-party payers; complex reporting and payment obligations under the Medicare and Medicaid rebate programs and other governmental purchasing and rebate programs; cost containment efforts of customers, purchasing groups, third-party payers and governmental organizations; changes in or failure to comply with relevant laws and regulations; any undesirable side effects caused by Mallinckrodt’s approved and investigational products, which could limit their commercial profile or result in other negative consequences;

complex manufacturing processes; reliance on third-party manufacturers and supply chain providers and related market disruptions; conducting business internationally; Mallinckrodt’s ability to achieve expected benefits from prior or future restructuring activities; Mallinckrodt’s significant levels of intangible assets and related impairment testing; natural disasters or other catastrophic events; Mallinckrodt’s substantial indebtedness and settlement obligation, its ability to generate sufficient cash to reduce its indebtedness and its potential need and ability to incur further indebtedness; restrictions contained in the agreements governing Mallinckrodt’s indebtedness and settlement obligation on Mallinckrodt’s operations, future financings and use of proceeds; actions taken by third parties, including the Company's creditors, the Trust and other stakeholders;
