| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
On April 21, 2026, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Amneal”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Kashiv BioSciences, LLC (“Kashiv”), KB Seller Representative, LLC (the “Seller Representative”) and the equityholders of Kashiv named therein (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which, among other matters and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire from the Sellers 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Kashiv (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”), the Company will (i) pay to the Sellers $375,000,000 in cash and (ii) issue to the Sellers 28,942,108 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”) subject, in the case of clause (i), to certain purchase price adjustments including for cash, the funding of operations between signing and closing (subject to a specified cap, calculated on the basis of the period from the date of the Purchase Agreement until the Closing), indebtedness, transaction expenses and working capital fluctuations (relative to a target). The Sellers will also be eligible to receive up to an additional $350,000,000 in potential contingent payments from the Company upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones in the United States for up to six designated Kashiv product candidates. In addition, during the 12-year period following the Closing, the Sellers will be eligible to receive certain potential contingent royalty payments from the Company equal to 25% of the amount by which annual aggregate gross profits for certain products exceed specified gross profit hurdle amounts for the corresponding annual royalty period.
Certain of the Sellers are affiliates of the Amneal Group (as defined in Amneal’s proxy statement for its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on March 25, 2026). Amneal’s independent Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, composed of five independent directors (the “Independent Committee”), was charged with and directed the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and, prior to the Company’s entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Independent Committee unanimously determined that the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Company’s stockholders (including the Buyer Disinterested Stockholders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) and resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt and approve the stock issuance and the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Acquisition is not subject to any financing condition and is expected to be consummated in the second half of 2026, subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including (i) the absence of any law or order that restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the receipt of certain other required regulatory approvals, (iv) the approval of (A) the issuance of the Stock Consideration by the Company by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the holders of Company common stock and (B) the approval of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the Buyer Disinterested Stockholders, and (v) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality qualifiers) and each party’s material compliance with its covenants.
The Purchase Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Sellers, the Company and Kashiv, including covenants by the Company and Kashiv to use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions necessary to obtain required regulatory approvals, provided that the parties are not required to commit to or effect the sale, license or other disposition of assets or businesses, modify existing business relationships, take actions that limit any freedom of action with respect to businesses, product lines or assets or agree to other structural or behavioral remedies. During the period from the date of the Purchase Agreement to the Closing, Kashiv has agreed, as to itself and its subsidiaries, to, subject to certain exceptions, conduct its business in the ordinary course of business and not take certain specified actions without the Company’s written consent.
Subject to certain limitations, each of the Company and the Seller Representative may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Acquisition is not consummated by November 17, 2026 (the “Outside Date”), provided, however, that if on such date, certain required regulatory approvals have not been obtained but all other conditions to Closing (other than conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived, the Outside Date will be automatically extended to January 12, 2027.
The foregoing description of the Acquisition and the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. The Purchase Agreement has been incorporated herein by reference to provide information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement and is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company or Kashiv in any public reports filed with the SEC by the Company. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by each of Kashiv and the Company in connection with the signing of the Purchase Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company and Kashiv, rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement may not constitute the actual state of facts about the Company or Kashiv. The representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to investors under federal securities laws or otherwise. Therefore, the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties or their respective businesses.
First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company has agreed to enter into a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement Amendment”) with Vikram Patel, in his capacity as the Amneal Group Representative (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated November 7, 2023, by and among the Company, Amneal Intermediate Inc., Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, and the other parties named therein) (the “Stockholders Agreement”)) and the other parties that will be named therein, pursuant to which the Company and the Amneal Group Representative will agree, among other things, to amend the definition of “Amneal Group” and “Amneal Group Member” (in each case, as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).
The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Stockholders Agreement Amendment, which is included as Exhibit B to the Purchase Agreement that is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
Restrictive Covenants Agreements
On April 21, 2026, in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into Restrictive Covenants Agreements (each a “Restrictive Covenants Agreement” and collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants Agreements”) with each of Chirag Patel and Chintu Patel (each, an “RCA Person”), pursuant to which each RCA Person agreed, among other things, during the period from the Closing until the fifth anniversary thereof, not to, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Company, (a) invest in, acquire, own, manage, control, undertake, participate in, carry on or be engaged in the operation of any business that is competitive with the business of Kashiv or (b) solicit, recruit or hire, or attempt to recruit or hire, certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The foregoing description of the Restrictive Covenants Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Restrictive Covenants Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
