Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on May 20, 2020, Akorn, Inc. (the "Company") and its U.S. direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the "Company Parties") filed voluntary cases under chapter 11 (the "Chapter 11 Cases") of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). On September 2, 2020, the Court approved the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company Parties pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Sale"). The closing of the Sale is subject to customary closing obligations and expects to occur in the next few weeks.

In connection with the Sale, the Company is engaged in discussions with certain lenders and it intends to provide a copy of the presentation attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto (the "Presentation") to such lenders.

The Presentation contains certain information related to actual and potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as certain projections and forecasts including the cash flow projections, sales projections by product and the Pro Forma capital structure. The information in the Presentation is based solely on information available to the Company as of the date of their preparation and, therefore, the projections and forecasts included therein may differ from actual results and such differences may be material. Especially given the uncertainty of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reserves the right to make adjustments to the preliminary results, projections and forecasts in the future, as additional operational and financial data is received. Any projections or forecasts included in the Presentation were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company's independent accountants have not examined, compiled or otherwise applied procedures to the projections or forecasts and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the projections or forecasts. The inclusion of the projections or forecasts in the Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or its representatives consider the projections or forecasts to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the projections and forecasts should not be relied upon as such. Therefore, a reader should not place undue reliance on these projections or forecasts.
