On August 16, 2022, Endo International plc, along with certain affiliates, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Over the years, Endo and its affiliates have manufactured and sold a range of medical products, including branded opioid medications such as OPANA® (oxymorphone hydrochloride), OPANA® ER (oxymorphone hydrochloride extended release), and PERCOCET® (oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets), generic opioid medications, generic ranitidine medications, and transvaginal mesh.
Important Deadlines to Note
The Bankruptcy Court has established key deadlines for filing proofs of claim against the debtors:
- The General Bar Date: July 7, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. (ET)
- The Governmental Bar Date: May 31, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. (ET)
If you have a claim against Endo International plc or any of its affiliates, these deadlines are critical. Failing to submit your proof of claim by these dates may result in a loss of any rights you may have to seek payment or compensation. Remember, these deadlines refer to the time when the proof of claim form must be received, not just sent.
About the Proof of Claim Process
The bar date and proof of claim process are integral parts of the bankruptcy proceedings. They serve to inform potential claimants of their rights, and guide them through the process of filing a claim. This is a legal process and failing to file a proof of claim by the bar date may have significant consequences.
For governmental entities, the bar date, or the deadline to submit a proof of claim, is May 31, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). Be sure to file a proof of claim form so that it is received by this date to avoid losing any rights you may have to seek payment or compensation.
