Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 2.1(1), Section 2.1(v), Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.2(d) of this Agreement, if a Termination Date shall occur in respect of any Consenting Lender, such termination and Termination Date shall apply only to such Consenting Lender (and such Consenting Lender shall cease to be deemed a Consenting Lender hereunder from and after such Termination) and this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect with respect to the Company, the Plan Investor and all such remaining Consenting Lenders.

2.5

Limitation on Termination.

Except with respect to a termination pursuant to Section 2.1(t), Section 2.2(a), Section 2.2(g) or Section 3 below, no Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the Termination Event giving rise to such termination right is the result of the action or omission of such Party or any Affiliate thereof and the taking or failing to take such action by such Party or the applicable Affiliate thereof constitutes a breach of this Agreement, the Plan Funding Agreement or any other Definitive Document.

2.6

Consensual Termination.

In addition to any Termination Event otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the written agreement of each of the Company, the Plan Investor, and the Required Consenting Lenders.

2.7

Effect of Termination.

Upon the valid termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth herein (including if such termination only related to one or more Consenting Lenders but not this Agreement as an entirety): (a) this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and each Party shall be released from its commitments, undertakings and agreements under this Agreement, and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Transaction or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement; (b) any and all votes tendered by the Parties in respect of the Plan prior to such termination shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction, the Plan or otherwise; and (c) if Bankruptcy Court permission shall be required for a Consenting Lender to change or withdraw (or cause to be changed or withdrawn) its vote in favor of the Plan, no Party to this Agreement shall oppose any attempt by such Party to change or withdraw (or cause to be changed or withdrawn) such vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section or elsewhere in this Agreement, shall relieve any Party from (i) liability for such Party’s breach of such Party’s representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings or obligations hereunder or under any other Definitive Document (including the liability of any Consenting Lender with respect to the period before any Termination Date with respect to such Consenting Lender), or (ii) obligations under this Agreement or any other Definitive Document that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s obligation (if any) to pay professional fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.12 hereof that accrued on or prior to the Termination Date or the Company’s obligations (if any) to make payments to the Plan Investor under the PFA Order. Except with respect to the obligations under this Agreement that expressly survive termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company’s obligation (if any) to pay professional fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.12) and this Section 2.7 or the Company’s obligations (if any) to make payments to the Plan Investor under the PFA Order, this Agreement shall terminate automatically without any further required action or notice upon consummation of the Plan.

Section 3. Fiduciary Obligations.

3.1

The Company’s Fiduciary Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject in all cases to compliance with the Plan Funding Agreement in all respects, the board of directors, board of managers, or such similar governing body of the Company, including any properly authorized committee thereof (each, a “Board”) shall be permitted to take (or permitted to refrain from taking) any action with respect to the Transaction as and to the extent permitted by Section 6.9 of the Plan Funding Agreement and may take such action without incurring any liability to the Consenting Lenders or the Plan Investor under this Agreement or the Plan as and to the extent permitted thereby; provided that nothing herein shall limit or otherwise affect the rights or remedies of (i) the Plan Investor under the Plan Funding Agreement or the PFA Order and (ii) the Consenting Lenders under Section 9.12 of this Agreement; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Required Consenting Lender or the Plan Investor to terminate this Agreement to the extent the taking or refraining from taking any action pursuant to this Section 3.1 would otherwise constitute a Plan Support Party Termination Event (as determined without taking into account whether the taking or refraining from taking such action is permitted under this Section 3.1).

3.2

Consenting Lender Fiduciary Obligations.

Each Consenting Lender agrees not to request that the United States Trustee appoint an official committee of creditors or equity holders (either or both, an “Official Committee”) in the Bankruptcy Cases. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Consenting Lender is appointed to and serves on any Official Committee in the Bankruptcy Cases, the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed so as to limit such Consenting Lender’s exercise of its fiduciary duties to any person arising from its service on such Official Committee, and any such exercise of such fiduciary duties shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of the terms of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring any Consenting Lender to serve on any Official Committee in any such chapter 11 case.

Section 4.

The obligations of the Parties and the effectiveness of this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of each of the following (the date upon which all such conditions are satisfied, the “Effective Date”): (x) execution and delivery of signature pages for the Plan Funding Agreement and the Amended Shared Services Agreements by each of the parties thereto; and (y) execution and delivery of signature pages for this Agreement by each of the Company, the Plan Investor and the Consenting Lenders (who, in any event, shall hold not less than 66.67% of the Obligations under each of the Convertible Notes Indenture, the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Intercompany Credit Agreement).

5.2

Use of Advance Upon Failure to Obtain PFA Order.

Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1(d) or upon any termination of this Agreement by any Party other than the Plan Investor at a time when the PFA Order has not been entered and the Plan Investor could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Plan Investor shall be entitled to retain the Advance and use it to pay Expenses (as defined in the Exclusivity Agreement), notwithstanding the occurrence of a No Reimbursement Event by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Definitive Documentation.

5.3

Effect on Exclusivity Agreement.

Except for the provisions of Section 4 of the Exclusivity Agreement that survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement as contemplated by this Section 5, the terms and conditions set forth in the Exclusivity Agreement shall expire and be of no further force and effect upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

6.4

Ownership.

6.5

No Conflict; Third Party Consents.

6.6

Publicity; Confidentiality.

Concurrently with or as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Parties (other than the Consenting Noteholders or Consenting Bridge Lenders) or some of the Parties shall issue the press release or press releases substantially in the form(s) attached to Schedule 6.6(a) (collectively, the “Initial Press Release”). Subject to the terms set forth in the immediately following sentence, none of the Parties will make, or permit any Affiliate thereof to make, any public statements, including any press releases, with respect to this Agreement, the other Definitive Documentation, or the Transaction unless such press release or public statement is consistent, in all material respects, with the Initial Press Release or receives the prior written consent of the Company, the Plan Investor and the Required Consenting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, any Party (or any Affiliate thereof) may (i) make disclosures required by any applicable law or applicable stock exchange requirements (it being acknowledged that Novelion intends to file a Current Report

on Form 8-K and any equivalent filing as may be required by applicable Canadian securities laws in respect of the Transaction within the permitted statutory timeframe from the date of this Agreement (or in a periodic report in lieu of such Form 8-K, if timing so permits), and such filing and/or subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission may attach or otherwise file as exhibits this Agreement and/or other Definitive Documentation), in which case the Party required to make (or whose Affiliate is required to make) such disclosure will allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such disclosure in advance of the making or issuance thereof to the extent reasonably practicable, (ii) make disclosures that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan Funding Agreement or the Plan, including (A) in the case of the Plan Investor, the filing and disclosure of the Admission Document and any other documentation in respect of the solicitation of the approval of its shareholders in respect of the Transaction, subject to compliance with the terms set forth in the Plan Funding Agreement, and (B) in the case of the Company, such disclosures as it is required to make in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases, including in connection with the solicitation of votes in support of the Plan, and (iii) make such disclosures as any Party or its Affiliates determines to be advisable or required in connection with any action or legal proceeding commenced by any Party against any other Party or any Affiliate thereof in respect of any dispute arising out of this Agreement, the other Definitive Documentation or the Transaction.

(b)

Confidentiality. Any confidentiality agreement executed by any Party shall survive this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof, irrespective of the terms hereof.

(c)

Disclosure of Consenting Lender Information. Unless required by applicable law or regulation or requested by any regulatory authority, no Party shall disclose the amount of a Consenting Lender’s holdings of Claims without the prior written consent of such Consenting Lender; provided, however, that the Company may disclose the aggregate holdings and percentages of the Consenting Lenders, by Consenting Class, and, if required by the Bankruptcy Court, may disclose the amount of a Consenting Lender’s holdings of Claims without the prior written consent of such Consenting Lender. If any Party or any of its representatives receives a subpoena or other legal process as referred to in this Section 6.6 in connection with the Agreement, such Party shall provide the other Parties hereto with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement, to the fullest extent permissible and practicable under the circumstances (as advised by such Party’s internal or outside counsel), so that the other Parties may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waiver of compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

6.7 Acquired Interests. Each Consenting Lender severally, and not jointly, or jointly or severally, represents and warrants to the Plan Investor that it has not acquired an interest in shares (as such term is defined in the UK City Code of Takeovers and Mergers) in the Plan Investor during the course of the twelve months prior to the date of this Agreement (any such acquisition, a “Disqualifying Transaction”).

6.8 UK Panel. Each Consenting Lender severally, and not jointly, or jointly or severally, hereby represents and warrants and undertakes to the Company that:

(a)

neither it nor any of its Affiliates will enter into any Disqualifying Transaction in the period from the date of this Agreement until Closing of the Transaction except in the case of Highbridge MSF International Ltd., 1992 Tactical Credit Master Fund, L.P., Highbridge SCF Special Situations SPV, L.P., and Highbridge SCF Loan SPV, L.P. (the “Highbridge Funds”), the Highbridge Funds and its Affiliates may, with the consent of the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Panel”), purchase all or any portion of the shares issued by the Plan Investor pursuant to any Plan Investor Additional Equity Issuance (as defined in the Plan Funding Agreement); and

(b)

neither it nor any of its Affiliates will knowingly take any action that it or such Affiliates knows at the time of such action constitutes “acting in concert” (as such term is defined in Rule 9.1 of the Takeover Code) with another Consenting Lender or any other third party with a view to obtain or seek to obtain control of the Company, and, if it or any of its Affiliates has actual knowledge that it or such Affiliate has been “acting in concert”, then it shall, or shall cause its Affiliate(s) to, advise the Company of such actions at least five (5) business days prior to the Company seeking shareholder approval of the “Rule 9 whitewash waiver” or, if such acting in concert has occurred during this five (5) business day period, no later than twenty-four (24) hours after the time such acting in concert has occurred.

6.9 Rule 9.1 Information. Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP, Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP, Highbridge MSF International Ltd., 1992 Tactical Credit Master Fund, L.P., Highbridge SCF Special Situations SPV, L.P., and Highbridge SCF Loan SPV, L.P., in each case severally, and not jointly, or jointly or severally, represents and warrants and undertakes to the Company that all of the information provided to the Panel in connection with the analysis undertaken for the purposes of Rule 9.1 is true and accurate in all material respects.

Section 7.

Remedies.

It is understood and agreed by each of the Parties that any breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief for any such breach without the posting of a bond or other security. The Parties agree to waive any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. The Company and each of the Plan Support Parties agree that for so long as the Company and the Plan Support Parties have not taken any action to prejudice the enforceability of this Agreement (including without limitation, alleging in any pleading that this Agreement is unenforceable), and have taken such actions as are reasonably required or desirable for the enforcement hereof, then the Company and the Plan Support Parties shall have no liability for damages hereunder in the event a court determines that this Agreement is not enforceable. Each of the Parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it shall have no, and agrees not to pursue any, recourse against (a) Novelion for breaches or threatened breaches hereunder by Aegerion or Aegerion’s Representatives to the extent such Representative

was acting in its capacity as an Aegerion Representative (and not as a Novelion Representative) at the time of the alleged breach, or (b) Aegerion for breaches or threatened breaches hereunder by Novelion or Novelion’s Representatives to the extent such Representative was acting in its capacity as a Novelion Representative (and not as an Aegerion Representative) at the time of the alleged breach.

Section 8.

Acknowledgement.

This Agreement and the Plan and transactions contemplated herein and therein are the product of negotiations among the Parties, together with their respective representatives. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of the Plan or any chapter 11 plan for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not solicit acceptances of the Plan from any Consenting Lender until such Consenting Lender has been provided with information required by section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 9.

Miscellaneous Terms.

9.1 Assignment; Transfer Restrictions.

(a)

Each Consenting Lender agrees, severally with respect to itself and not jointly, until the earlier of the date that this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms and the date that the closing of the Transaction occurs, not to, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (including by participation) (a “Transfer”) any Claim against the Company or any interest therein or voting rights in respect thereof unless (i) (A) the transferee, assignee or equivalent is a Consenting Lender that is a party to and bound by this Agreement and, as applicable, the other Definitive Documentation (including the execution and delivery of a Lender Joinder in accordance with Subsection 9.1(c))), provided that upon the consummation of any Transfer by any Consenting Lender of any Claims, such Claims shall be, and shall automatically be deemed to be, subject to the terms of this Agreement and, as applicable, the other Definitive Documentation, or (B) as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, the transferee thereof shall have executed and delivered a Lender Joinder in accordance with Subsection 9.1(c), and (ii) the consummation of such Transfer would not be reasonably expected to have or result in a material adverse impact on, or delay or impair the consummation of the Transaction in any material respect, within any of the time frames contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan Funding Agreement. Thereafter, such purchaser, transferee, assignee or other relevant Person shall be deemed to be a Consenting Lender for purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Definitive Documentation and shall be bound by all of the terms hereof and thereof, and the transferor Consenting Lender shall be deemed to, automatically as of the consummation of such Transfer, relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement solely to the extent of such transferred Claims, it being understood and agreed that no such Transfer shall impact, effect or

alter the rights and obligations of the Parties under the other Definitive Documentation except to the extent expressly set forth therein.

(b)

Any Transfer of any Claim that does not comply with the procedures set forth in Subsection 9.1(a) of this Agreement shall be deemed void ab initio.

(c)

Any person that seeks to receive or acquire a portion of the Claims pursuant to a Transfer of such Claims by a Consenting Lender shall be required, as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and, as applicable, the other Definitive Documentation (a “Joining Lender Party”) by duly executing and delivering to the Company and each other Party a joinder in the form of Exhibit H hereto (the “Lender Joinder”). The Joining Lender Party shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Consenting Lender” and a Party for all purposes under this Agreement and, as applicable, the other Definitive Documentation.

(d)

With respect to the Claims held by the Joining Lender Party upon consummation of any Transfer, the Joining Lender Party shall be deemed to have made, with respect to itself, the representations and warranties of a Consenting Lender set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement to the Company.

(e)

Subject to Subsection 9.1(a), this Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Consenting Lender from acquiring additional Claims; provided that, any such Claims shall automatically be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Definitive Documentation.

(f)

Notwithstanding Section 9.1(a): (i) a Consenting Lender may Transfer any right, title, or interest in its Claims to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a Consenting Lender only if such Qualified Marketmaker has purchased such Claims with a view to immediate resale of such Claims (by purchase, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or otherwise) as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than the earlier of (A) three (3) business days prior to any voting deadline with respect to the Plan (solely if such Qualified Marketmaker acquires such Claims prior to such voting deadline) and (B) ten (10) business days of its acquisition to a transferee Consenting Lender that is or becomes a Consenting Lender (by executing and delivering the Lender Joinder in accordance with Subsection 9.1(c)); and (ii) to the extent that a Consenting Lender is acting solely in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer any right, title, or interest in any Claims that such Consenting Lender, acting solely in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, acquires from a holder of such Claims who is not a Consenting Lender without the requirement that the transferee be or become a Consenting Lender with respect to such Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (w) if at the time of a proposed Transfer of any Claim to the Qualified Marketmaker in accordance with the foregoing, the date of such proposed Transfer is within three (3) business days of the voting deadline with respect to the Plan, the proposed transferor Consenting Lender shall first vote, and shall be deemed to have voted, such Claim in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1(b) hereof prior to any Transfer or (x) if, after a Transfer in accordance with this Section 9.1(f), a

Qualified Marketmaker is holding a Claim on any date within three (3) business days of the voting deadline with respect to the Plan, such Qualified Marketmaker shall vote, and shall be deemed to have voted, such Claim in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1(b) hereof as if it were a Consenting Lender and the definitive documentation in respect of any Transfer thereto shall require the foregoing, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Plan Investor, as a condition to any such Transfer. For these purposes, a “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that: (y) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course of its business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against the Company and its Affiliates (including debt securities or other debt) or enter into with customers long and short positions in claims against the Company and its Affiliates (including debt securities or other debt), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in such claims against the Company and its Affiliates; and (z) is in fact regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt). For avoidance of doubt, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. together with its Affiliates, other than Highbridge Capital Management, LLC and its subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a Qualified Marketmaker.

9.2

Certain Additional Chapter 11 Related Matters.

The Company shall provide draft copies of all motions, applications and other documents that relate in any material respect to implementation of the Transaction (including all “first day” and “second day” motions and orders, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, ballots and other Solicitation Materials in respect of the Plan, any proposed amended version of the Plan and/or the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order and any other Definitive Documentation) it intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court to counsel for the Plan Investor and each Consenting Class, at least three (3) business days prior to the date when the Company intends to file any such pleading or other document with the Bankruptcy Court (provided that if delivery of such motions, orders or materials (other than the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation Order) at least three (3) business days in advance is not reasonably practicable, such motion, application or other document shall be delivered as far in advance of such date of filing as is reasonably practicable) and, in each case shall, prior to the filing thereof, consult in good faith with such counsel regarding the form and substance of any such proposed filing.

9.3

Funding Agreement, any confidentiality agreement executed by any Party shall survive this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof.

9.5

Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

9.6

Settlement Discussions.

This Agreement, the other Definitive Documentation and the Plan are part of a proposed settlement of disputes among certain of the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission of any kind.

9.7

Reservation of Rights.

In the event that, (x) the Transaction is not consummated in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Plan Funding Agreement and the other Definitive Documentation, (y) a Termination Date occurs or (z) this Agreement is otherwise validly terminated for any reason, each Party fully reserves any and all of its respective rights, remedies and interests (if any) under the Credit Documents, the Plan Funding Agreement, the PFA Order, applicable law and in equity.

9.8

Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)

The Parties waive all rights to trial by jury in any jurisdiction in any action, suit, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between or among the Parties arising out of this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise.

(b)

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflicts of law provision which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that, subject to Subsection 9.8(c), any legal action, suit or proceeding brought by or against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be brought exclusively in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby: (i) irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding; and (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action, suit or proceeding.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Bankruptcy Cases are commenced, nothing in Subsections 9.8(a)-9.8(b) shall limit the authority of the Bankruptcy Court, as applicable, to hear any matter related to or arising out of this Agreement, and each Party irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court, as applicable, to hear and determine such matters during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases.

9.9

Successors.

This Agreement is intended to bind the Parties and inure to the benefit of the Consenting Lenders, the Plan Investor and the Company and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, no Party shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company, the Plan Investor and the Required Consenting Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 9.9 shall be deemed to permit any Transfer of any Claims other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

9.10

Acknowledgment of Counsel; Interpretation.

(a)

Each of the Parties acknowledges that it is sophisticated and has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to and waived its right to do so) in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction. Accordingly, the Parties do not intend that any rule of law or any legal decision or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause or that would otherwise provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall apply to this Agreement and each Party hereby expressly waives any such application or defense. Furthermore, prior drafts of this Agreement and any of the documents executed and delivered in connection herewith and the fact that any clauses have been added, deleted or otherwise modified from any prior drafts of this Agreement or any of the documents executed and delivered in connection herewith shall not be used as a rule of construction or otherwise constitute evidence of the intent of the Parties or the parties thereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any such Party or parties by virtue of such prior drafts.

(b)

Amendments, Modifications, Waivers.

(a)

Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, including in Section 9.1(b), this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Plan, the Plan Funding Agreement and the Disclosure Statement) may only be modified, amended or supplemented, and any of the terms thereof may only be waived with (i) in the case of any such modification, amendment or supplementation, the written consent by each of (a) the Company, (b) the Required Consenting Lenders, and (c) the Plan Investor (each of the Required Consenting Bridge Lenders/Noteholders, the Required Consenting Intercompany Lenders and the Plan Investor a “Required Party” and shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Required Parties”), and (ii) in the case of a waiver, by the Party or Parties waiving rights pursuant to the terms of such waiver, except that any waiver by the Required Consenting Bridge Lenders/Noteholders or the Required Consenting Intercompany Lenders shall be binding on all Consenting Noteholders and all Consenting Bridge Lenders and any waiver by the Required Consenting Intercompany Lenders shall be binding on all lenders under the Intercompany Credit Agreement; provided that, if the modification, amendment, supplement or waiver at issue adversely impacts the treatment or rights of any Consenting Lender (in its capacity as a Consenting Lender) in a materially different and materially disproportionate manner when compared to the effect thereof on other Consenting Lenders in its Consenting Class, the agreement in writing of such Consenting Lender whose treatment or rights are so adversely impacted shall also be required for such modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver to be effective with respect to such Consenting Lender; provided, further, that the waiver of a Termination Event arising from the breach by a Required Party of its obligations hereunder shall not require the consent of such breaching Required Party. If any ruling is made by the Panel that any provision of this Agreement is not permitted by the Takeover Code, such provision shall be given no effect. The Parties shall use reasonable efforts to replace such provision with a valid and enforceable provision which is acceptable to the Panel and carries out, as closely as possible, the intentions of the parties.

(b)

Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use its respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken, in

good faith, all appropriate actions (including any amendments, modifications and supplements to this Agreement, the Plan and Disclosure Statement and the Plan Funding Agreement) as is reasonably necessary, appropriate and advisable to memorialize and effectuate the Transaction, including, without limitation, to obtain Bankruptcy Court confirmation of the Plan pursuant to a final order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that no Party shall have any obligation to take any action or otherwise agree to any amendment, modification or supplement that (i) creates any additional material obligation on such Party or (ii) adversely affects in any material respect the treatment, obligations or rights of such Party (it being agreed that, for the avoidance of doubt, any change to the Plan that results in a diminution of the value of the property to be received by a Consenting Class under the Plan or alters the form in which such value is to be received by a Consenting Class under the Plan shall be deemed to adversely affect such Consenting Class or that results in a diminution of the value and/or increase in the liabilities of the Plan Investor shall be deemed to adversely affect the Plan Investor) whether such change is made directly to the treatment of a Consenting Class, the treatment of another Consenting Class, any term or provision relating to or impacting the Plan Investor or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend, modify or supplement the Plan and Disclosure Statement, from time to time, with the consent of any Required Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to cure any non-material ambiguity, defect (including any technical defect), inconsistency or clerical error; provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, interests or treatment of any such Plan Support Parties under such Plan and Disclosure Statement.

9.12

Professional Fees.

The Company agrees to reimburse, in addition to its own advisors, all of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Consenting Noteholders and the Consenting Bridge Lenders of Latham & Watkins, LLP and Ducera Partners LLC, under their respective engagement letters as in effect on the date hereof, in connection with the Transaction and implementation of the Plan (including, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred after the Petition Date); provided that only those fees and expenses in respect of Ducera Partners LLC that the Company shall be required to reimburse shall be those incurred as a result of the services expressly contemplated by the engagement letter by and between Ducera Partners LLC and Highbridge MSF International Ltd. (f/k/a 1992 MSF International Ltd.), 1992 Tactical Credit Master Fund, L.P., Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP, and Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP, dated as of December 7, 2018 (without giving effect to any subsequent amendment, restatement, supplement or modification thereof following such date), a true, complete and correct copy of which has been provided to the Company prior to the date hereof, in each case without the need to file any interim or final fee applications with the Bankruptcy Court, subject to the Company obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval of any postpetition payments pursuant to the Interim CC Order and the Final DIP Order; provided, however, that if this Agreement shall be terminated due to the breach by any Consenting Noteholder or Consenting Bridge Lender of its representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings or obligations hereunder or under any other Definitive Documentation, then the Company shall not be required to pay the expenses referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 9.12 (except to the extent provided

in the Interim CC Order or the Final DIP Order, as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to pay professional fees and expenses pursuant to this Section 9.12 shall be unaffected by, and shall survive, termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in the Interim CC Order or the Final DIP Order, as applicable, the Company shall only be obligated pursuant to this Agreement to pay such fees and expenses incurred through the Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Novelion and the Plan Investor shall bear (and the Company shall have no liability in respect of other than as set forth in the Exclusivity Agreement) their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction, including their respective professional fees incurred in connection with the Transaction, but without limitation of any rights of the Plan Investor to receive reimbursement of its costs and expenses (or a portion thereof) from the Company pursuant to the terms of the Plan Funding Agreement and, the Exclusivity Agreement. In addition, on the effective date of the Plan, the Company shall pay all outstanding reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Convertible Notes Trustee (including the fees and expenses of its outside counsel and other professionals), regardless of whether such fees and expenses were incurred before or after the Petition Date.

9.13

Disclosure Letter References.

The Parties agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the disclosure schedules provided in connection with this Agreement and/or the Plan Funding Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedules”) or deemed disclosed as exceptions pursuant to the terms of the Plan Funding Agreement shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the disclosing Party that are set forth in this Agreement or the Plan Funding Agreement; and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the disclosing party that are set forth in this Agreement or the Plan Funding Agreement.

9.14

- Amryt plans to raise $60m in equity concurrent with closing of the Transaction and certain Aegerion bondholders have agreed to backstop this equity raise

- Transaction already endorsed by 34.3% of Amryt’s shareholders and in excess of 67% of Aegerion’s bondholders

- Management will host a conference call for analysts and investors today at 1330 BST (0830 EDT) – dial-in details below

Amryt, a biopharmaceutical company focused on rare and orphan diseases, today announces that it has reached agreement to acquire (the “Transaction”) Aegerion Pharmaceuticals (“Aegerion”), a subsidiary of Novelion Therapeutics Inc. - NASDAQ:NVLN - (“Novelion”). The Transaction has been unanimously approved and recommended by the Boards of Amryt, Aegerion and Novelion.

Transaction Rationale

The Company has built a diversified portfolio of drugs to treat patients with rare and orphan diseases through the acquisition of its AP101 and AP103 product lines and through the in-licencing of the Lojuxta^® product line. The Transaction is in line with the Company’s strategy to expand its product portfolio to enhance shareholder value.

The Transaction will put Amryt on the path to creating a rare and orphan disease company with a diversified offering of multiple commercial and development stage assets and will provide it with scale to support further growth. The Transaction will give Amryt an expanded commercial footprint to market two US and EU approved products, lomitapide (Juxtapid^® (US/ROW) I Lojuxta^® (EU)) and metreleptin (Myalept^® (US) I Myalepta^® (EU)). Amryt’s leadership team already has a deep knowledge of both these products and since December 2016 has successfully commercialized Lojuxta^® across Europe and the Middle East.

Dr. Joe Wiley, Chief Executive Officer of Amryt, commented: “The acquisition of Aegerion accelerates our ambition to become a global leader in treating rare conditions to help improve the lives of patients where there is a high unmet medical need. By delivering two substantial revenue-generating products and an enhanced pipeline of promising development opportunities, this will significantly strengthen our growth in highly attractive markets globally. Amryt has a unique insight into both Aegerion and its products, through our commercial success with Lojuxta^® and given that many of our senior management team previously worked at Aegerion.”

“With this Transaction we can continue the strong growth trajectory already underway with Lojuxta^® in Europe on a global scale. It also delivers metreleptin, another highly compelling commercial rare disease product alongside an established commercial footprint in the US and internationally. This transformational deal provides Amryt with the financial flexibility to fully execute our medium-term growth plans, and is expected to deliver significant shareholder returns.”

Transaction Highlights:

•

Amryt has agreed to acquire Aegerion in an all-paper transaction

•

The combined group had 2018 pro-forma combined revenues of $136.5m

•

Pre-money implied transaction equity valuations: Amryt $120m and Aegerion $190.7m

•

Contingent Value Rights (“CVRs”) will be issued to Amryt stakeholders that could result in the payment of up to $85m (settled in cash or stock) based on certain AP101 milestones being achieved

•

Amryt plans to raise $60m in equity concurrent with closing of the Transaction and certain Aegerion bondholders have agreed to backstop this equity raise

•

This equity raise will be placed at a 20% discount to the implied transaction equity value

•

Aegerion’s balance sheet is to be restructured through a US Chapter 11 process prior to Amryt acquiring Aegerion - Aegerion will continue to operate as usual during the Chapter 11 process

•

New loan facilities for the combined group will be put in place, and the key terms of such facilities have been agreed - Amryt’s existing European Investment Bank facility is to be repaid

•

The combined group’s global HQ will be in Dublin, Ireland with its US HQ in Boston, Massachusetts

•

Enlarged group to be re-admitted to AIM and Euronext Growth on closing with a planned dual-listing on NASDAQ

•

Transaction already endorsed by 34.3% of Amryt shareholders and in excess of 67% of Aegerion’s bondholders

Rich Commercial Portfolio & Development Pipeline with a Global Footprint

•

Amryt will have a differentiated, diverse, global offering of multiple commercial and development stage rare disease assets, including:

•

Two high-value commercial assets with multiple development opportunities in complementary global markets

○

Lomitapide (Juxtapid^®(US)/Lojuxta^®(EU)) for the treatment of adult homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

○

Metreleptin (Myalept^®(US)IMyalepta^® (EU)), a leptin hormone replacement therapy, approved in the US for Generalised Lipodystrophy (GL), and recently in Europe for GL and Partial Lipodystrophy (PL)

•

Additional near-term potential commercial opportunities for a broadened Amryt portfolio of products

○

Metreleptin as a potential treatment for partial lipodystrophy (PL) in the US

○

Lomitapide (Juxtapid^®/Lojuxta^®) as a potential treatment for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS)

○

A lead development asset (AP101) for Epidermolysis Bullosa (“EB”), a >$1bn market opportunity in a pivotal Phase 3 trial, which recently reported positive unblinded interim efficacy analysis results and is anticipated will be fully enrolled by end of H2 2019

○

Novel gene therapy platform (AP103) which offers a potential treatment for patients with EB and other topical indications

Value Creation

•

Enhanced scale of combined group expected to drive revenue growth and future profitability

•

Expected to deliver meaningful operational synergies over the medium term - the Directors believe, on the work undertaken to date, that the enlarged group can deliver operational synergies of between $25m and $40m in 2020, rising further in 2021

•

Amryt’s deep knowledge of Aegerion products is key to driving growth

•

Reunification of lomitapide brands provides potential to replicate success of Lojuxta^® in Europe with Juxtapid^® in the US

•

Opportunity to grow Myalepta^® revenues with broader reach across EU to accelerate recent launch

•

Delivers a ready-made commercial US infrastructure in advance of anticipated launch of AP101

•

Recapitalized business well-positioned to drive pipeline value

•

Planned NASDAQ listing to drive liquidity and investor reach

•

Opportunity for corporate restructuring to drive additional value

Board & Management

•

Team led by Dr Joe Wiley, CEO of Amryt

•

Strong international management with significant industry experience

•

Revised Board composition, on closing of the Transaction, consisting of CEO and six Non-Executive Directors

•

New Board to be appointed on closing

Ben Harshbarger, Novelion’s (parent company of Aegerion) Interim Chief Executive Officer, said, “The combination of Amryt and Aegerion will create a financially stronger and well-capitalized rare disease company with two commercial products and a pipeline of late stage rare disease products. Amryt’s executive management team has the depth of experience to commercialize Aegerion’s marketed products, as demonstrated by its ability to grow sales of Lojuxta^® in the European market, to develop and, if approved, commercialize Amryt’s late stage product candidate, AP101, and to pursue additional potential indications for metreleptin and lomitapide.”

The Transaction constitutes a reverse takeover of the Company under the Euronext Growth Rules and AIM Rules and requires shareholder approval and the publication of an AIM and Euronext Growth Admission Document (the “Admission Document”) with details of the Enlarged Group. Trading in Amryt’s shares will be suspended on both the AIM Market and the Euronext Growth Market with immediate effect until the Admission Document has been published. The Transaction is also conditional on the UK Takeover Panel waiving the obligation on certain lenders of Aegerion to make a general offer under Rule 9 of The UK Takeover Code, and on independent Amryt shareholder approval being obtained for such waiver and whitewash.

Shore Capital is acting as financial advisor, NOMAD and Joint Broker to Amryt. Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited are Joint Broker to Amryt.

About Amryt

Amryt is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and delivering innovative new treatments to help improve the lives of patients with rare or orphan diseases.

Lojuxta^® is an approved treatment for adult patients with the rare cholesterol disorder - Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (“HoFH”). This disorder impairs the body’s ability to remove low density lipoprotein (“LDL”) cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) from the blood, typically leading to abnormally high blood LDL cholesterol levels in the body from before birth - often ten times more than people without HoFH - and subsequent aggressive and premature narrowing and blocking of blood vessels. Lojuxta^® is indicated as an adjunct to a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering medicinal products with or without LDL apheresis in adult patients with HoFH.

Amryt is the marketing authorisation holder and has an exclusive licence to sell Lojuxta^® (lomitapide) across the European Economic Area, Middle East and North Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, Israel, Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the non-EU Balkan states.

Amryt’s lead development candidate, AP101, is a potential treatment for Epidermolysis Bullosa (“EB”), a rare and distressing genetic skin disorder affecting young children and adults for which there is currently no treatment. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials and recently reported positive unblinded interim efficacy analysis results and is anticipated will be fully enrolled by end of H2 2019. The European and US market opportunity for EB is estimated to be in excess of $1 billion.

In March 2018, Amryt in-licenced a pre-clinical gene-therapy platform technology, AP103, which offers a potential treatment for patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, a subset of EB, and is also potentially relevant to other genetic disorders.

Description of Transaction

•

Amryt has agreed to acquire Aegerion in an all-paper transaction. On closing, the implied equity valuations of Amryt and Aegerion will be $120m and $190.7m respectively. Amryt stakeholders will also receive a Contingent Value Right (“CVR”) of up to $85m, in cash or stock, at the election of its board, subject to certain regulatory approval and commercialization milestones of its late-stage development product candidate, AP101.

•	Amryt plans to raise $60m in new equity concurrent with the Transaction closing at a 20% discount to the implied transaction valuations. The proceeds from this financing will be used to continue to develop the combined group’s pipeline, to develop potential new indications for Amryt’s late

stage product candidates, and to be used for general corporate purposes. Certain Aegerion bondholders have agreed to backstop this capital raise.

•

Amryt, Aegerion and Aegerion’s key stakeholders have entered into a “Restructuring Support Agreement” pursuant to which Aegerion has filed for Chapter 11 in the United States and seek to consummate the Transaction through a plan of reorganization that has garnered the support of Aegerion’s key creditors and stakeholders. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, upon Bankruptcy Court approval, Amryt will acquire the reorganized Aegerion in exchange for Amryt stock, which stock will be distributed, together with other consideration in the form of new debt, to certain Aegerion secured and unsecured creditors, including Aegerion’s convertible bond holders, certain unsecured creditors and Novelion. As a result, Aegerion will emerge from Chapter 11 after having discharged substantial pre-transaction liabilities and with a reorganized and streamlined capital structure that materially reduces its debt obligations.

•

To facilitate a smooth entry into Chapter 11, Aegerion has arranged for financing to allow it to operate uninterrupted during the Chapter 11 process, which financing will be repaid in cash pre-closing or otherwise exchanged into the new $125m convertible notes referred to below. Aegerion’s bondholders have agreed to support this transaction and oppose other potential transactions to acquire Aegerion.

•

$125 million of new 5% convertible notes will be issued. The notes will mature 5.5 years from closing and be convertible into equity of Amryt at a 20% premium to the implied transaction valuation. Aegerion’s existing $50 million (in principal) secured loan, held by certain funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management and Highbridge Capital Management, as well as Amryt’s existing €20m (in principal) secured loan, will be converted and/or refinanced into new first-lien secured debt of the Amryt Group, which will have a cash interest rate of 6.5% per annum and an additional 6.5% PIK (“Payment-in-kind”) interest rate and will mature 5 years from closing.

•	In connection with the Transaction, it is proposed that a corporate reorganization of Amryt will be undertaken by way of a scheme of arrangement, pursuant to which a new Irish incorporated public company will become the new ultimate holding company of the combined group.

Governance & Management

Amryt will continue to be listed on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market, Euronext Growth Market in Dublin and after the Transaction will pursue a dual-listing on NASDAQ. Following the Transaction, Amryt’s global headquarters will be in Dublin, Ireland and its US headquarters will be in Boston, Massachusetts.

Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Amryt board will consist of seven Directors including Dr. Joe Wiley (CEO). The six Non-Executive Directors will be proposed as follows – two by Amryt and four by Athyrium Capital Management and Highbridge Capital Management (current Aegerion bondholders). The Chairperson of the Board will be proposed by Amryt and will be unaffiliated with Amryt, Novelion or Aegerion. All board appointments will be made by mutual consent. Amryt will continue to be led by its executive team, which will be supplemented by certain Aegerion executives on both a transitional and permanent basis.

•

a waiver being granted by The Panel on Takeovers and Mergers of the obligations which may otherwise arise pursuant to Rule 9 of the Takeover Code for certain lenders of Aegerion to make a general offer to the Company’s shareholders for all the issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Company as a result of the distribution of Amryt shares to such lenders following the issuance thereof to the Company as contemplated pursuant to the Transaction, and such waiver being approved by the Company’s shareholders by a resolution duly passed by the requisite majority of Company’s shareholders entitled to vote on such resolution pursuant to the Takeover Code and any requirement or direction issued by The Panel on Takeovers and Mergers in connection therewith;

•

Novelion Therapeutics Announces Subsidiary Aegerion
Pharmaceuticals to Recapitalize Through Court Supervised
Process In Which Amryt Pharma Plc Will Acquire 100% of
Reorganized Stock of Aegerion

•

Transaction is result of comprehensive capital structure and strategic review conducted independently by both Novelion’s and Aegerion’s Boards of Directors

•

Aegerion will continue to make available to patients its two approved therapies, JUXTAPID^® and MYALEPT^®

•

Novelion to receive approximately 10% of the equity of the combined company (subject to dilution) on account of its intercompany loan and cash payments from Aegerion related to past and future expenditures for shared services

Vancouver, BC, and Cambridge, MA, May 20, 2019 – Novelion Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: NVLN) (Novelion), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing new standards of care for individuals living with rare diseases, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Aegerion) has entered into a plan funding agreement (PFA) and a restructuring support agreement (RSA) that will result in Aegerion selling 100% of its reorganized stock to, and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of, Dublin-based Amryt Pharma Plc (Amryt).

The agreements, which will result in a recapitalization of Aegerion (the Recapitalization), are the result of the previously announced capital structure and strategic review undertaken independently by the Boards of Directors of Novelion and Aegerion, and a broad marketing process. The Recapitalization of Aegerion pursuant to the PFA and a proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the Plan) has been approved by Aegerion’s board and approved and recommended by the independent restructuring committee of Aegerion’s board. Novelion’s board has approved Novelion’s entry into the RSA and support for Aegerion’s proposed Chapter 11 restructuring.

In conjunction with the Recapitalization, Aegerion has entered into the RSA with many of its key stakeholders, including Novelion, the holders of in excess of 67% of the 2.00% convertible notes issued by Aegerion due 2019 (Existing Convertible Notes) and the holders of 100% of the principal amount under Aegerion’s other indebtedness for borrowed money.

To facilitate the Recapitalization, Aegerion and its U.S. subsidiary Aegerion Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (the Debtors) have commenced cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Court) pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Code. Aegerion will

continue to operate in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 process. The non-U.S. subsidiaries of Aegerion are not part of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

Certain Key Terms of the Recapitalization

The Recapitalization ascribes an enterprise value to Aegerion and Amryt of $395 million and $146 million, respectively, excluding cash and cash equivalents and subject to adjustment for accrued interest and certain payments that are due to the DOJ and the SEC. The key terms of the Recapitalization (the Restructuring Transactions), which are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and other customary conditions, include the following:

•

Amryt acquiring 100% of the outstanding new equity interests in recapitalized Aegerion;

•

Ordinary equity of Amryt representing 61.4% of the outstanding ordinary equity of Amryt, after giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions but before giving effect to equity underlying the New Convertible Notes, the Deal Equity Raise (each as described below), ordinary shares that may be issuable in satisfaction of the CVR (described below) if the relevant milestones are achieved, and equity that is reserved for issuance under any management equity compensation plan adopted by Amryt, will be distributed to certain existing creditors of Aegerion in complete or partial satisfaction of their claims, including in partial satisfaction of the claims of the holders of the Existing Convertible Notes and in complete satisfaction of Novelion’s approximately $36 million claims on account of the Intercompany Loan;

•

Pre-Recapitalization shareholders of Amryt continuing to own 38.6% of the outstanding ordinary equity of Amryt, after giving effect to the Restructuring Transactions but before giving effect to equity underlying the New Convertible Notes, the Deal Equity Raise, and any equity issued on account of the CVRs and under any management equity compensation plan adopted by Amryt;

•

The equity interests of Aegerion held by Novelion being terminated;

•

Aegerion issuing $125 million of new 5% convertible notes (the New Convertible Notes). The New Convertible Notes will be issued to certain existing creditors of Aegerion in satisfaction of their claims (and not for cash), including in satisfaction of a portion of the Existing Convertible Notes, the approximately $22 million of “Roll Up Debt” under the Aegerion’s existing bridge loan facility, and any amounts drawn down under Aegerion’s DIP Financing (defined below) that are not otherwise satisfied in cash at the closing of the Restructuring Transactions;

•

Aegerion’s existing Bridge Loan in the original principal amount of $50 million, held by certain funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management, LP (Athyrium) and Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (Highbridge), as well as Amryt’s existing approximately €20

1 Note: The announcement will lead to suspension. Following publication of the admission document, the larger Amryt Group will be listed on the AIM market.

million (in principal) of secured debt, will be converted into new first-lien secured debt of Amryt and Aegerion, which will have a cash interest rate of 6.5% per annum and an additional 6.5% PIK (Paid in Kind) interest rate and mature five years from the closing date of the Restructuring Transactions;

•

Amryt shareholders prior to the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions will receive a contingent value right (CVR) entitling them to receipt of proceeds of up to $85 million upon the occurrence of certain milestones related to the regulatory approval and commercialization of AP 101, its late-stage development product candidate, with such payments to be made in loan notes or ordinary shares, at the election of its board;

•

In connection with the closing of the Restructuring Transactions, Amryt plans to raise $60 million through the issuance of new equity of Amryt (the Deal Equity Raise). The proceeds from the Deal Equity Raise will be used as provided in the Plan to pay certain expenses and for general corporate purposes. The new equity will be priced at a 20 percent discount to Amryt’s implied valuation pro forma to the Restructuring Transaction with $18 million of the new equity offered to certain Amryt investors and $42 million to certain creditors of Aegerion on a pro rata basis, including Novelion. Certain of Aegerion bondholders, including Athyrium, Highbridge, UBS and Whitebox, have agreed to purchase any unsubscribed portion of the new equity;

•

Aegerion intends to, and the Plan provides that Aegerion will, continue to fully honor all obligations to the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other U.S. and state government agencies and courts, which obligations will not be impaired by the Restructuring Transactions;

•

Aegerion intends to continue to pay all trade and other ordinary operating expenses that arise during the course of the Chapter 11 cases and, upon consummation of the Restructuring Transactions, repay 100% of any allowed trade claims outstanding as of the Chapter 11 filing;

•

Under the terms of the PFA, following the approval by the Court of certain provisions of the PFA, Aegerion and its advisors will have a 55-day period to solicit alternative transactions that are superior, from a financial point of view, to the Restructuring Transactions. Subject to the limitations of the PFA, Aegerion is also entitled to respond to unsolicited proposals if Aegerion determines that such proposals are reasonably likely to result in a superior transaction. Aegerion is entitled to terminate the PFA in order to enter into a superior transaction, provided that it reimburses Amryt for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Restructuring Transactions (with a cap of $4,000,000) at the time of termination and pays a termination fee of $11,850,000 upon the consummation of the superior transaction. Approximately 34.3% of Amryt’s existing shareholders have committed to supporting the Restructuring Transactions through written undertakings.

1 Note: The announcement will lead to suspension. Following publication of the admission document, the larger Amryt Group will be listed on the AIM market.

•

The Debtors expect to enter into a $20 million super-priority debtor-in-possession multi-draw term loan facility (the DIP Financing) with Athyrium and Highbridge on terms and conditions set forth in the DIP credit agreement and proposed DIP order filed with the Court. Upon approval by the Court and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the DIP credit agreement, the DIP Financing will provide the Debtors with liquidity that will be used to support the Restructuring Transactions. Any portion of the DIP Financing that is drawn and not repaid in cash upon the closing of the Restructuring Transactions will be converted into a portion of the $125 million of New Convertible Notes discussed above. The Debtors have also negotiated with their existing secured lenders the terms of consensual use of cash collateral during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases.

The Recapitalization and business combination between Aegerion and Amryt is expected to create a global rare disease company with a diversified commercial and clinical-stage portfolio with growing commercial assets and multiple late stage product candidates. The development pipeline includes Amryt’s AP101 product candidate currently in Phase III development for epidermolysis bullosa (EB), as well as additional potential indications for Aegerion’s products, including metreleptin as a potential treatment for partial lipodystrophy (PL) in the U.S., which is already approved in Europe, and lomitapide as a potential treatment for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS).

“The combination of Amryt and Aegerion will create a financially stronger and well-capitalized rare disease company with two commercial products and a pipeline of late stage rare disease products. Amryt’s executive management team has the depth of experience to commercialize Aegerion’s marketed products, as demonstrated by its ability to grow sales of LOJUXTA^® in the European market, to develop and, if approved, commercialize Amryt’s late stage product candidate, AP101, and to pursue additional potential indications for metreleptin and lomitapide,” said Ben Harshbarger, Novelion’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. “With the opportunity to leverage synergies between the two companies to reduce overlap in expenses and eliminate the intercompany royalties through the existing LOJUXTA licensing agreement among the two companies, we believe these transactions create a compelling growth story and value creation opportunity for Aegerion and its stakeholders, including Novelion.”

“The acquisition of Aegerion accelerates our ambition to become a global leader in treating rare conditions where there is a high unmet medical need,” commented Joe Wiley, Chief Executive Officer of Amryt. By delivering two substantial revenue-generating products and an enhanced pipeline of promising development opportunities, this will significantly strengthen our growth in highly attractive markets globally. Amryt has a unique insight into both Aegerion and its products, through our commercial success with LOJUXTA and given that many of our senior management team previously worked at Aegerion.”

1 Note: The announcement will lead to suspension. Following publication of the admission document, the larger Amryt Group will be listed on the AIM market.

Impact on Novelion

Novelion has agreed to enter into the RSA and support Aegerion’s proposed Chapter 11 plan, which Novelion believes will avoid value destructive potential litigation with Aegerion, its other secured lenders and the majority holders of the Existing Convertible Notes, including as it may relate to challenges to Novelion’s intercompany secured loan and the terms that Aegerion could impose or “cram down” on Novelion through a Chapter 11 plan that Novelion did not support. Under the proposed plan, Novelion’s existing approximately $36 million intercompany secured loan to Aegerion (the Intercompany Loan) will be allowed in full and will receive a distribution of equity under Aegerion’s plan of reorganization representing approximately 10.1% equity ownership of Amryt on a pro forma basis, prior to any dilution from equity to be issued in connection with Deal Equity Raise, upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes, ordinary shares that may be issuable in satisfaction of the CVR if the relevant milestones are achieved, and equity that is reserved for issuance under any management equity compensation plan adopted by Amryt. After taking into account the new Amryt equity anticipated to be issued in connection with the Deal Equity Raise, Novelion is projected to own approximately 8.1% of Amryt. Novelion’s treatment under the plan on account of its intercompany loan represents an approximately 84% recovery and the equity received will be freely transferable. Also, Novelion has the right to subscribe to purchase its pro rata share of the $42 million of new equity being offered to Aegerion’s creditors, which are priced at a 20 percent discount to Amryt’s implied Recapitalization valuation. Due to Novelion’s liquidity position, however, it is unlikely that Novelion will exercise that right in full or at all.

In addition, the Debtors entered into shared services agreements with Novelion and Novelion Services USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Novelion, dated as of December 1, 2016, but effective as of November 29, 2016 (the Shared Services Agreements), pursuant to which the Debtors provide to Novelion and Novelion provides to the Debtors, certain services, including, but not limited to administrative support, human resources, information technology support, accounting, finance, and legal services. In connection with the execution of the RSA and to facilitate the restructuring, the Debtors and Novelion negotiated and executed an amendment to the Shared Services Agreements (together, the Amended Shared Services Agreements), which modified the Shared Services Agreements to provide, among other things, for Aegerion to make certain cash payments to Novelion on account of certain services Novelion provided or will provide to Aegerion. Pursuant to the Amended Shared Services Agreement, Aegerion has made a payment to Novelion of approximately $3.1 million and has committed to make additional cash payments of up to approximately $2 million. Amended Shared Services Agreements provide Novelion with greater and more certain recoveries from Aegerion for the critical shared services Novelion provides.

1 Note: The announcement will lead to suspension. Following publication of the admission document, the larger Amryt Group will be listed on the AIM market.

Novelion will retain its existing cash balances, public listing and net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards (subject to applicable tax laws). The value, if any, of such listing and NOL carryforwards are unknown at this time.

As a result of the valuation of Aegerion and its outstanding debts, Novelion is not receiving any consideration under Aegerion’s plan on account of its equity in Aegerion. Those existing equity interests are being cancelled under Aegerion’s Chapter 11 plan and Aegerion is issuing new equity interests to Amryt in exchange for the consideration to be paid under the PFA. Because its equity interests are being cancelled for no consideration under the Chapter 11 plan, Novelion is deemed to reject the plan in its capacity as a shareholder. By operation of U.S. bankruptcy law, however, Aegerion’s plan may be confirmed and consummated notwithstanding the deemed rejection by Novelion as its sole equity holder.

In furtherance of its duty to maximize value for its shareholders, the board of directors of Novelion, together with its management team and legal and financial advisors, is evaluating post-closing plans with respect to Novelion, including a potential wind-up of Novelion and a distribution of assets to shareholders, and recommendations related to same will be communicated to shareholders in due course.

Aegerion Chapter 11 Cases

As described above, to facilitate the Recapitalization, concurrent with the PFA and RSA, the Debtors filed for Chapter 11 protection. Aegerion will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 cases. Novelion and non-U.S. Aegerion subsidiaries are not debtors in these Chapter 11 cases.

Importantly, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases, Aegerion intends to:

•

continue to make available to patients its two approved therapies, JUXTAPID and MYALEPT;

•

continue to pay all trade and other ordinary course operating expenses during the course of the Chapter 11 cases and, upon consummation of the Recapitalization, repay 100% of any allowed trade claims; and

•

continue to pay and provide all ordinary course compensation and benefits to its existing employees, without any impairment, delay, adjustment or changes.

Amryt Listing, Board of Directors and Management

1 Note: The announcement will lead to suspension. Following publication of the admission document, the larger Amryt Group will be listed on the AIM market.

¹ Amryt will continue to be listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. Following the Recapitalization, Amryt’s global headquarters will be in Dublin, Ireland and its U.S. headquarters will be in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area.

In addition, certain Amryt executives, including Chief Medical Officer Mark Sumeray and Chief Commercial Officer David Allmond, are former members of Aegerion’s executive team.

Closing Conditions and Timing

The consummation of the Recapitalization is subject to a number of closing conditions, including approval by Amryt’s shareholders, approval of the independent Amryt shareholders in connection with the whitewash waiver granted by the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, re-admission of Amryt’s ordinary shares for trading on AIM, confirmation of the Aegerion plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court, and other customary closing conditions.

The parties expect the transaction to close in the late third or early fourth calendar quarter of 2019.

About Novelion Therapeutics

Novelion, through its subsidiary Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, is a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing therapies that deliver new standards of care for people living with rare diseases. With a global footprint and an established commercial portfolio, including MYALEPT^® (metreleptin) and JUXTAPID^® (lomitapide), our business is supported by differentiated treatments that treat severe and rare diseases.

About Amryt

Amryt is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and delivering innovative new treatments to help improve the lives of patients with rare or orphan diseases.

LOJUXTA^® is an approved treatment for adult patients with the rare cholesterol disorder - Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (“HoFH”). This disorder impairs the body’s ability to remove low density lipoprotein (“LDL”) cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) from the blood, typically leading to abnormally high blood LDL cholesterol levels in the body from before birth - often ten times more than people without HoFH - and subsequent aggressive and premature narrowing and blocking of blood vessels. LOJUXTA^® is indicated as an adjunct to a low-fat diet and other lipid-lowering medicinal products with or without LDL apheresis in adult patients with HoFH.

Amryt is the marketing authorisation holder and has an exclusive license to sell LOJUXTA^® across the European Economic Area, Middle East and North Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, Israel, Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States and the non-EU Balkan states.
