(1) On April 19, 2023, Lannett Company, Inc. received a written notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notifying LCI that it would commence proceedings to delist our common stock and our common stock was suspended from trading. On April 20, 2023, our common stock began trading over-the-counter under the symbol “LCIN” and subsequently began trading under the symbol “LCINQ.” On May 4, 2023, the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist our common stock from trading and to remove it from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The delisting became effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. In accordance with Rule 12d2-2 of the Exchange Act, the de-registration of our common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act would become effective 90 days, or such shorter period as the SEC may determine, from the date of the Form 25 filing.

Item 1.03

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

As previously disclosed, on May 2, 2023, Lannett Company, Inc. (“LCI”) and certain subsidiaries (collectively with LCI, the “Debtors” or the “Company Parties”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re Lannett Company, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-10559 (JKS). On May 2, 2023, the Debtors filed a proposed joint prepackaged plan of reorganization [Docket No. 16] (as amended, supplemented, or modified, the “Plan”) and associated disclosure statement [Docket No. 17] (the “Disclosure Statement”) in the Bankruptcy Court.

On June 8, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order (I) Approving the Disclosure Statement for, and Confirming, the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Lannett Company, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates, and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 243] (the “Confirmation Order”), which approved the Disclosure Statement and confirmed the Plan. The Debtors expect that the effective date of the Plan will occur once all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied (the “Effective Date”).

Summary of the Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. This summary highlights only certain substantive provisions of the Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Confirmation Order, which includes the Plan as an exhibit, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Plan provides that, among other things, on the Effective Date:

holders of notes outstanding under the First Lien Indenture (as defined in the Confirmation Order) will receive their pro rata share of 97% of both the common equity interests of reorganized LCI (the “New Common Stock”) and the financing facility to be entered into by the reorganized debtors (the “Takeback Exit Facility”);

lenders of the loans issued pursuant to the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement (as defined in the Confirmation Order) will receive their pro rata share of 3% of both the New Common Stock and the Takeback Exit Facility, as well as their pro rata share of the Second Lien New Warrant Recovery (as defined in the Confirmation Order);

holders of an allowed General Unsecured Claim (as defined in the Confirmation Order) will either be (a) reinstated or (b) paid in full in cash on the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which such payment would otherwise be due in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction giving rise to such allowed General Unsecured Claim;

holders of notes outstanding under the Convertible Notes Indenture (as defined in the Confirmation Order) will receive their pro rata share of the New Warrants (as defined in the Confirmation Order) to purchase up to 1.25% (pre-dilution) of the New Common Stock on same terms as proposed for others under the Plan; and

holders of existing equity interests and warrants will receive no distribution.

The Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy is subject to, among other things, consummation of the restructuring transactions described above and execution and implementation of all actions, documents, and agreements necessary to implement and consummate the Plan. The Debtors expect to emerge from bankruptcy no later than June 16, 2023. The Company cautions that trading in the common stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. If the Plan becomes effective, the common stock will be canceled, and therefore trading prices for the common stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the common stock in the Chapter 11 Cases.

Treatment of Common Stock

As of April 28, 2023, the Company had 10,780,187 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On the Effective Date or the date on which distributions are made pursuant to the Plan (whichever is later), all outstanding equity interests in the Company will be cancelled and holders of the common stock will not receive a distribution on account of their equity interests.

Assets and Liabilities

On March 31, 2023, the Company had total assets of $334,624,000 and total liabilities of $746,883,000.
