This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 2) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on July 9, 2018 (the Initial 13D and, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 3, collectively the Schedule 13D) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), by Tushar Patel (the Reporting Person) relating to class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class A Common Stock), of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
The disclosure in Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On October 16, 2023, the Issuer and Amneal LLC entered into a binding term sheet pursuant to which a new public company will be formed (New Issuer), which will become the issuer of all shares held by the public, by the Reporting Person and by all other holders of units of Amneal LLC other than the Issuer. The transaction will be accomplished through two separate mergers. In the first merger (First Merger), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New Issuer will merge with and into Issuer, following which Issuer will become a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of New Issuer. As a result of the First Merger, the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger will by operation of law be converted into an equal number of shares of class A common stock and class B common stock of New Issuer having the same rights as the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer had prior to the First Merger. In the second merger (Second Merger), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New Issuer will merge with and into Amneal LLC. As a result of the Second Merger, all units in Amneal LLC other than those held by Issuer will be converted into an equal number of shares of class A common stock of New Issuer and Amneal LLC will become a direct and indirect (through Issuer) wholly-owned subsidiary of New Issuer. The Reporting Person and all holders of units of Amneal LLC, other than the Issuer, are expected to agree that immediately following the consummation of the Second Merger, they will surrender all of their shares of class B common stock in the New Issuer received in the First Merger for no consideration. The transaction will not require any vote of shareholders. As a result of the transaction, there will be a single class of stock of New Issuer outstanding. The rights and obligations of the public shareholders will not change following the transaction, and public shareholders will continue to hold the same percentage equity ownership in the New Issuer that they held in Issuer and indirectly in Amneal LLC prior to the transaction, and their economic and voting rights with respect to the New Issuer will be identical to the direct and indirect economic and voting rights held in the Issuer and Amneal LLC prior to the transaction. The Tax Receivable Agreement will be amended to provide that the payments that those persons who converted their units of Amneal LLC to Class A Common Stock of the Issuer prior to the subject transaction are entitled to receive with respect to taxable years of the Company beginning after the closing of the transaction will be reduced from 85% to 75% of applicable tax savings. The Tax Receivable Agreement will otherwise remain unchanged by the transaction, and there will be no accelerated payment thereunder as a result of the transaction. No new tax benefits will accrue under the TRA as a result of the subject transaction. A final tax distribution under the Amneal LLC LLCA will be made on the closing of the transaction, after which no further tax distributions will be made. The purpose of the transaction is to eliminate the two-tier structure of the Issuer.
