| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Mallinckrodt plc (the “Company”) reminds holders of its ordinary shares that transfers of Ordinary Shares in the Company need to be registered in the “register of members” maintained by the Company (the “Register”). Under Irish law and the Company’s articles of association, rights in respect of the Company’s Ordinary Shares are exercisable by the registered shareholder, i.e. the person or entity entered into the Register. The exercise of voting rights and rights related to the appointment or nomination of directors is only effective under Irish law if executed by the registered shareholder, and the Company sends proxy cards, shareholder meeting notices and other information relevant to shareholder rights to the address of the registered shareholder included in the Register.
Shareholders with questions on the process for registering their Ordinary Shares can find additional information at https://ir.mallinckrodt.com/. Shareholders can also find details at that website regarding transfer forms and the payment of stamp duty on transfers, as well as contact details for Computershare, which has been appointed by the Company as registrar for maintaining the Register. Such details are also attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall be deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act.
