About Purdue Pharma

Purdue Pharma and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and market medications and consumer health products to meet the evolving needs of healthcare professionals, patients, consumers and caregivers. Purdue’s confirmed Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”) was vacated on appeal by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Purdue is appealing the ruling while simultaneously continuing its efforts to forge yet further consensus around a Plan that will deliver billions of dollars to the American people for opioid abatement. The District Court decision does not affect Purdue’s operational stability or its ability to produce its many medications safely and effectively. We continue to operate fully, honoring our existing relationships and meeting our obligations to our partners, customers, and consumers. The company continues serving patients and consumers who rely on its medicines and products, pursuing its pipeline, and introducing medicines that will help save and improve lives. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, substantially all of Purdue’s assets would be transferred to a new company with a public-minded mission. This new company will be governed by new independent board members, and will operate in a responsible and sustainable manner taking into account long-term public health interests relating to the opioid crisis. The company will continue serving patients and consumers who rely on its medicines and products, pursuing its pipeline, and introducing medicines that will help save and improve lives.
