Maybe this is why as they claim there are none ??
SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.
(a)
There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Parent, threatened against or affecting the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters). There are no labor controversies pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Parent, threatened
There are none
other than the Disclosed matters.
Looking to the provided definitions
“Disclosed Matters” means the actions, suits and proceedings and the environmental matters disclosed (a) in any reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, prospectuses (including prospectus supplements), registration statements and other information filed by the Parent with the SEC or furnished by the Parent to the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act, in each case, filed or furnished before the Closing Date and which are available to the Lenders before the Closing Date and (b) on Schedule 3.06.
If you go to the
last report filed by Mylan (on 10 May), the disclosed “actions, suits and proceedings” span nine pages (p.47-55). Their lawyers are kept very busy.
The bit that concerns us is this
The Company is also party to certain proceedings and litigation matters for which it may be entitled to indemnification under the respective sale and purchase agreements relating to the acquisitions of the former Merck Generics business, Agila, Abbott Laboratories’ (“Abbott”) non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business, and certain other acquisitions.
While the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend its position, the process of resolving these matters is inherently uncertain and may develop over a long period of time, and so it is not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of any such matter. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution of any of the ongoing matters or the inability or denial of Merck KGaA, Strides Arcolab Limited, Abbott, or another indemnitor or insurer to pay an indemnified claim, could have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or ordinary share price.
