Mallinckrodt, Endo Complete Merger to Create Global, Scaled, Diversified Therapeutics Leader
Aug. 1, 2025, Mallinckrodt and Endo announced that they have completed their merger to create a global, scaled, diversified therapeutics leader. Under the terms of the agreement, which was announced on March 13, 2025, Endo shareholders received a total of $100 million in cash and own 49.9% of Mallinckrodt on a pro forma basis.
Mallinckrodt’s pre-transaction shareholders own 50.1% of Mallinckrodt. The aggregate cash amount to Endo shareholders was increased from $80 million to $100 million to compensate for a reduction in the exchange ratio that was triggered to ensure that Mallinckrodt’s pre-transaction shareholders own 50.1% of Mallinckrodt post-closing. On a per share basis, Endo shareholders are entitled to receive approximately $1.31 in cash and 0.2575 of Mallinckrodt shares. Endo shares have ceased trading on the OTCQX.
The combined company is well-positioned to continue growing its brands portfolio across a wide range of therapeutic areas of significant unmet need, including endocrinology, gastroenterology, hepatology, neonatal respiratory critical care, nephrology, neurology, pulmonology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, rheumatology, and urology.
In addition, the generics and sterile injectables business features a broad product portfolio, a leading controlled substances franchise, robust commercial and manufacturing infrastructure in the U.S. and internationally, extensive supply chain capabilities, and expertise in complex, highly regulated products. This business operates under the Par Health name and is intended to be spun off as an independent company with a target date of the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to approval by Mallinckrodt’s Board of Directors and other conditions.
The combined company is expected to generate at least $150 million of annual pre-tax run-rate operating synergies by Year 3, and approximately $75 million of pre-tax run rate synergies in the first 12 months post-merger, driven by business function integration and R&D savings from economies of scale, among other areas. Following the spin-off of Par Health, the branded therapeutics company is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), subject to approval of Mallinckrodt’s Board of Directors. Mallinckrodt’s headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, will serve as the combined company’s global headquarters.
