Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on August 16, 2022, Endo International plc, together
with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Company" or the
"Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of
the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The cases
are being administered under the caption In re Endo International plc, et al.
(Case No. 22-22549) (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The Debtors continue to operate
their businesses and manage their properties as "debtors-in-possession" under
the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and order of the Bankruptcy Court.
Non-Debtor Report
On January 23, 2023, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a periodic
report as of September 30, 2022 in accordance with Rule 2015.3 of the Federal
Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Non-Debtor Report") regarding the value,
operations, and profitability of entities in which a Debtor holds, or two or
more Debtors collectively hold, a substantial or controlling interest. The
Non-Debtor Report is available for review free of charge at
https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/endo/. The Non-Debtor Report and other
information available on this website are not part of this Form 8-K and are not
deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Form 8-K.
The Debtors expect to file future non-debtor reports and similar reports (such
as monthly chapter 11 operating reports) and other documents with the Bankruptcy
Court while the Chapter 11 Cases remain pending. The filing of such reports and
other documents may not be accompanied by a Form 8-K filing. These reports and
other documents will also be available for review free of charge at
https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/endo/. Investors should review this website
for additional information regarding the Debtors and their Chapter 11 Cases.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Non-Debtor Reports and Other Documents
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue
reliance upon the information contained in the Non-Debtor Report or any similar
reports or other documents that have been or in the future are filed with the
Bankruptcy Court and are not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for
an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The
Non-Debtor Report and any other reports or documents that have been or in the
future are filed with the Bankruptcy Court are limited in scope, cover a limited
time period, and are prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the
reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Non-Debtor Report and any
similar reports or other documents that have been or in the future are filed
with the Bankruptcy Court are not audited or reviewed by independent
accountants, are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules,
and are subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no
assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the
Company's securities, the Non-Debtor Report and any similar reports or other
documents that have been or in the future are filed with the Bankruptcy Court
are complete. Results and projections set forth in the Non-Debtor Report or any
similar reports or other documents that have been or in the future are filed
with the Bankruptcy Court should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Cautionary Information Regarding Trading in the Company's Securities.
The Company continues to face certain risks and uncertainties that have been
affecting its business and operations, and these risks and uncertainties may
affect the Company's ability to enter into a sale transaction and could impact
the outcome of the Company's voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (collectively, the "Chapter 11 Filings"). Holders of the
Company's equity securities will likely be entitled to little or no recovery on
their investment following the Chapter 11 Filings, and recoveries to other
stakeholders cannot be determined at this time. The Company cautions that
trading in the Company's securities given the pendency of the Chapter 11 Filings
is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the
Company's securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual value
realized, if any, by holders of the Company's securities in the Chapter 11
Filings. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing
and future investments in its securities.
