As the holder of 10% First Lien Notes due April 15, 2025, or 11.5% First Lien Notes due December 15, 2028 (the “Public Securities”) you are entitled to vote on Proposals for a Scheme of Arrangement in the Examinership of Mallinckrodt PLC. The vote will occur in person at the Meeting of Creditors to be held on 31 October 2023 at 1:00 PM (Irish Time). You may vote in person, which requires your appearance at the Meeting, or you may appoint a proxy to attend, speak, vote and demand, or join in demanding, a poll for you and on your behalf at the Meeting. This document provides information on how to appoint a proxy and vote.
Once you complete and submit a valid Online Securities Proxy Form (as defined below), your vote will be received and you need not participate in the Meeting.
Voting through a proxy is a two-step process. First, you must appoint a proxy. Second, you must direct your proxy how to vote. You must use the online proxy form (the “Online Securities Proxy Form”) maintained by Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC at https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/mallinckrodt2023/ (the “Online Portal”) to appoint your proxy and direct your proxy to vote. To access the Online Public Securities Proxy Form, click the “Submit Securities Proxy Form” link located on the Online Portal’s left navigation panel.
Voting also requires you to demonstrate that you hold the Public Securities and that you continue to hold them through the Meeting. The method of demonstrating the aforementioned is by tendering your Public Securities through the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) maintained by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or by blocking your securities through Euroclear or Clearstream. To effectuate the tender or blocking, you must coordinate with the bank, broker, or other financial institution that holds your Public Securities “in street name” at DTC (your “Nominee”), which will have access to ATOP at DTC or blocking at Euroclear or Clearsteam. You must also complete and submit the Online Proxy Form. Please note that you will need the unique ATOP confirmation number also known as a “voluntary offer instruction” generated by your submission into ATOP (“VOI”) or the blocking reference number generated through blocking your securities through Euroclear or Clearstream (a “Blocking Reference Number”) to complete the Online Public Securities Proxy Form.
Please note that once you tender your securities into ATOP or block through Euroclear or Clearstream, such securities will be chilled and non-transferable. Please further note that your tender into ATOP does not constitute a vote.
