Item 8.01.
Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on November 5, 2019, (i) Mallinckrodt International Finance S.A. and Mallinckrodt CB LLC (the "Issuers"), two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mallinckrodt plc ("Mallinckrodt"), commenced exchange offers for certain existing notes ("Existing Notes") of the Issuers (the "Exchange Offers") and (ii) the Issuers and Deerfield Partners, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. (the "Exchanging Holders") entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement").
On November 27, 2019, the Issuers and the Exchanging Holders entered into an amendment to the Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement Amendment").  Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement Amendment, the parties agreed to, among other things, (a) reduce the aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2023 of the Issuers that the Exchanging Holders are required to exchange on the settlement date of the Exchange Offers (the "Settlement Date"), separate from the Exchange Offers, by approximately $50.6 million and (b) require the Exchanging Holders to tender, or cause to be tendered, into the Exchange Offers $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2020 of the Issuers and $51.25 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 of the Issuers, in each case other than Existing Notes that the Exchanging Holders are required to exchange with the Issuers on the Settlement Date, separate from the Exchange Offers (such Existing Notes described in this clause (b), the "Incremental 2020 and 2025 Notes").  The Incremental 2020 and 2025 Notes will not be entitled to the early participation premium described in the
offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement distributed to eligible holders in connection with the Exchange Offers
.
The table below sets forth the amounts of Existing Notes that the Exchanging Holders are required to exchange with the Issuers on the Settlement Date, or to tender, or cause to be tendered, into the Exchange Offers, in each case pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as amended by the Exchange Agreement Amendment:
