Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP, a Leading Securities Fraud Law Firm, Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of Mallinckrodt plc (MNK) Investors

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”), a leading national shareholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Mallinckrodt plc (“Mallinckrodt” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MNK) securities between June 17, 2022 and June 14, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Mallinckrodt investors have until September 5, 2023 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

If you suffered a loss on your Mallinckrodt investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at www.glancylaw.com/cases/Mallinckrodt-plc-1/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at shareholders@glancylaw.com to learn more about your rights.

In October 2020, Mallinckrodt filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection while agreeing to settle its role in the U.S. opioid crisis by making nine payments equaling $1.7 billion over eight years to an opioid-victims compensation trust. In June 2022, the Company made its first payment as it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The next payment of $200 million was due in June 2023.

On June 2, 2023, The Wall Street Journal reported that Mallinckrodt was considering bankruptcy again as its next payment due date approached. On this news, Mallinckrodt’s stock price fell $0.98, or 40%, to close at $1.47 per share on June 5, 2023, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on June 15, 2023, the Company disclosed that it had decided to not make interest payments on two bonds due that day and may need to file for bankruptcy. On this news, Mallinckrodt’s stock price fell $0.39, or 31%, to close at $0.87 per share on June 15, 2023.

Then, on June 16, 2023, the Company announced that it had extended the deadline for its $200 million payment from June 16, 2023 to June 23, 2023. However, on June 23, 2023, the Company disclosed that it had extended the deadline once more to June 30, 2023, while also reiterating the possible need to file for bankruptcy.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Mallinckrodt had overstated its financial strength, including purported enhancements to its liquidity and balance sheet, following its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection; (2) accordingly, the Company overstated its ability to timely make one or more payments to the Trust for the Opioid Settlement; (3) all the foregoing negatively impacted Mallinckrodt’s ability and/or willingness to timely meet interest payment obligations on certain bonds; (4) as a result of all the foregoing, the Company was at an increased risk of having to again file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
