We are pleased to inform you that on March 22, 2024, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an Order confirming the Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Endo International plc And Its Affiliated Debtors (the “Plan”).  The Plan became effective as of April 23, 2024, (the “Effective Date”), when funding occurred.

More information regarding the approved Plan, the Trust Agreements and the Trust Documents discussed below can be found under the Pleadings and Important Documents tab.

The Plan allows for the creation of the Endo Opioid Personal Injury Trust (the “PI Trust”), as well as the creation of the Endo Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Personal Injury Trust (“NAS PI Trust”).

PI TRUST

The Plan allows for the creation of the PI Trust to (i) assume all liability for the Non-Nas Personal Injury Opioid Claims (“PI Opioid Claims”), (ii) collect distributions made on account of the PI Trust Share in accordance with the PI Trust Documents, (iii) administer the PI Opioid Claims, (iv) make distributions to holders of Allowed PI Opioid Claims in accordance with the PI Trust Documents, and (v) carry out other matters as set forth in the PI Trust Documents.

A PI Opioid Claim means any and all present private opioid claims against any of the Debtors (a) held by a natural person (1) resulting from an injury to such natural person identified on the Claim Form, which injury resulted from such natural person’s exposure to opioids or opioid replacement treatment medication, and (2) arising from such natural person’s use of a Endo Qualifying Opioid or the use by a decedent of a Endo Qualifying Opioid prior to January 1, 2019, and (b) for which a Proof of Claim was filed by the General Bar Date of July 7, 2023.

In order to be able to file a PI Opioid Claim, the claimant must have first filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case by the General Bar date of July 7, 2023, set by the Bankruptcy Court.  However, in order to be eligible to receive funds from the PI Trust, the CLAIMANT MUST ALSO FILE A PI OPIOID CLAIM FORM AND ANY REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION BY THE CLAIMS SUBMISSION DEADLINE, WHICH WAS 30 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE, OR BY MAY 23, 2024.

The Claims Submission Deadline for PI Opioid Claims was 30 days after the Effective Date, or by May 23, 2024.  Due to the short filing period, The PI Trust began accepting PI Opioid Claims on April 1, 2024, prior to the Effective Date, with any PI Opioid Claims submitted before the Effective Date deemed as received by the PI Trust on the Effective Date for claims processing purposes.

Due to the short filing period, the Trust recommends filing PI Opioid Claims as soon as possible to ensure that PI Opioid Claimants meet the Claims Submission Deadline.

For more information about PI Opioid Claims, including information on how to qualify, what award you may be eligible for, what forms and documentation must be submitted, and when payments may be made, please go to the PI Opioid Claims Tab as well as the PI Opioids Claims FAQs on the FAQs Tab.

NAS PI TRUST

The Plan allows for the creation of the NAS PI Trust to (i) assume all liability for the Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Personal Injury Claims (“NAS PI Claims”), (ii) collect distributions made on account of the NAS PI Claims Share in accordance with the NAS PI Trust Documents, (iii) administer the NAS PI Claims, (iv) make distributions to Holders of Allowed NAS PI Claims in accordance with the NAS PI Trust Documents, and (v) carry out such other matters as are set forth in the NAS PI Trust Documents.

A NAS PI Claim means any and all present private opioid claims against any of the Debtors (a) of any natural person who has been diagnosed by a licensed medical provider with a medical, physical cognitive, or emotional condition resulting from such natural person’s intrauterine exposure to opioids or opioids replacement treatment medication, including but not limited to the condition know as neonatal abstinence syndrome; and (b) for which a Proof of Claim was filed by the General Bar Date of July 7, 2023.

In order to be able to file a NAS PI Claim, the claimant must have first filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case by the General Bar date of July 7, 2023 set by the Bankruptcy Court.  However, in order to be eligible to receive funds from the NASPI Trust, the Claimant must also file a NAS Opioid Claim and any required documentation by the Claims Submission Deadline, which is one year after the Effective Date, or by April 23, 2025.
