Purdue Personal Injury Trust

Claims Processing Update as of September 30, 2026

The Eighteenth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Purdue Pharma L.P. and Its Affiliated Debtors and the Purdue Personal Injury Trust (“Purdue PI Trust”) became Effective on May 1, 2026. The Purdue PI Trust was funded on the same day.

Since the Effective Date and through September 30, 2026, the Trust has undertaken the activities necessary to ensure efficient functioning of the claims process, including, but not limited to, the following:

Claims Update

Trust personnel are reviewing claim deficiency responses and have begun sending claims status letters on a rolling basis. The Trustee is also reviewing information submitted by claimants to the Court pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Court’s Order Granting Omnibus Claims Objection of the Debtors and Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to Unsubstantiated Claims [Docket. No. 9092].

The status letters detail whether the claim has been deemed as Qualified and Allowed under the terms of the applicable PI TDP and therefore entitled to payment or not, in addition to providing the details of any appeal rights claimants may have with respect to their claims. 

The Trust has begun issuing status letters to Qualified and Allowed claimants, and additional status letters are being issued on a rolling basis as deficiency reviews are completed and claims eligibility is finalized in accordance with the applicable PI TDPs.

The Trust is also in the process of issuing status letters for claimants whose claims have reached a final determination of Deficient under the terms of the applicable PI TDP, with the majority of the current Deficient Claims belonging to claimants whose objections to their claims were either withdrawn or reinstated, claimants who provided some form of evidence with their original Proof of Claim submittal with Kroll but failed to file a claim form with the Purdue PI Trust as required by the PI TDPs and Plan, and claimants whose submitted evidence does not meet evidentiary requirements under the terms of the PI TDPs.

The issuance of status letters to both Qualified and Allowed claimants and Deficient claimants begins the 20-day appeal process timelines outlined under both the PI TDPs. The Trustee has engaged Ken Simon as the Appeals Special Master. Mr. Simon is responsible for handling all appeals related to the Purdue PI Trust determinations made in accordance with the PI TDPs. Decisions of the Appeals Special Master are final and binding, and claimants have no further appeal rights under the PI TDPs.

The awards per claimant for Qualified and Allowed Non-NAS Personal Injury Tiers 1 and 2 and Qualified and Allowed NAS PI Claims have been computed.  The award amounts reflect deductions for: (a) operating expenses of the Trust (including claims and lien resolution expenses); (b) certain professional fees provided for under the Plan; and (c) other assessments provided for under the Plan.

The award amounts are stated prior to deductions for the individual claimant’s attorneys’ fees/costs and medical liens, if applicable. The award amounts are as follows:

$16,294 for Qualified and Allowed Non-NAS PI Tier 1 Claims

$8,147 for Qualified and Allowed Non-NAS PI Tier 2 Claims

$25,653 for Qualified and Allowed NAS PI Claims

The award amounts set forth above represent the initial distribution amounts.  A second payment may be made once all contingencies are resolved.  The availability and amount of any second payment will be determined by the Trustee based on the number of Qualified and Allowed Claims, the resolution of all outstanding contingencies, and the remaining Trust Assets available for distribution after satisfaction of all administrative obligations.

The Trust continues to process and has begun paying Qualified and Allowed claimants. The Trust currently anticipates that most currently Qualified and Allowed claimants will receive some portion of their award by the end of 2026, as claims are currently being paid on a rolling basis. For Qualified and Allowed claimants that have cleared the lien resolution process, the Trust anticipates issuing payment for their full award under the terms of the PI TDPs, subject to any applicable deductions (and with the possibility of a second payment mentioned above). Qualified and Allowed claimants that have not cleared the lien resolution process will have a portion of their award held as a lien holdback. A lien holdback is a portion of a Qualified and Allowed claimant’s award that is temporarily set aside while potential liens are reviewed and resolved.  The goal of the lien holdback is to allow for Qualified and Allowed claimants to receive a portion of their award now that would have otherwise been withheld until later while lien resolution is pending. Claimants will receive any remaining funding from their lien holdback once the Lien Administrator completes their individual resolution review and the Trust makes any resulting lien payments.

Now that the Trust has determined the estimated award amounts, Qualified and Allowed claimants must clear the lien resolution process to receive their total funding allocation, less any applicable fees, expenses and liens, under the terms of the applicable TDP.  As previously mentioned, some Qualified and Allowed claims may be paid, but have a lien holdback while lien resolution is ongoing.

Qualified and Allowed claimants that are represented by a law firm will receive payment information from their attorneys.

Qualified and Allowed Pro Se Claimants will receive email correspondence from the Purdue PI Trust Administrator to the claimant’s email address on file confirming their physical mailing address.  Please note that these emails are issued on rolling basis as deficiencies are reviewed and claims determinations are finalized.

Qualified and Non-Participating claims (for Claimants who did not grant the Third-Party Release) are not currently eligible for payment under the terms of the PI TDPs or Plan. Under the Plan, Qualified and Non-Participating claims are not potentially eligible for payment until eighteen months after the Effective Date of the Plan.

* * * The PI Claims Deadline Under the Purdue PI Trust Has Passed .* * *

As outlined in the Purdue Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures for Non-NAS PI Channeled Claims and NAS PI Channeled Claims, the PI Claims Deadline for submittal of claims to the Purdue PI Trust was July 28, 2025, at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.  This deadline has passed.

Under the Non-NAS and NAS Trust Distribution Procedures, a small discretionary late period was allowed for claims that were not submitted by the deadline due to an extraordinary cause.  This deadline has also passed.

Under the terms of the Non-NAS and NAS Trust Distribution Procedures, a Claim NOW submitted more than 15 days after the PI Claims deadline will not be a Qualified Claim.

Claim status correspondence will be sent once the initial claims review process has been completed.  If you are represented by an attorney, correspondence will be sent to your attorney.  If you are not represented, correspondence will be sent directly to you. If you are not represented and have a change of address, please email the Trust at purduepitrust@purduepitrust.com with the name of the injured party, rep if applicable, and new address.

Award amounts and a potential payment timeline cannot be determined until all Claims are finalized for eligibility and the Court approves the Plan. The hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan began November 12, 2025, and the Court approved the Plan on November 18, 2025.

INTRODUCTION

On April 15, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an Order appointing the PI and TPP Claims Administrators, authorizing the establishment of Claims Deadlines and claims objections procedures, and granting related relief (the “April 15, 2025 Order”). The PI Claims Administrator is Ed Gentle. Under the April 15, 2025 Order, the Bankruptcy Court approved procedures for the PI Claims Administrator to gather information from personal injury claimants in order to determine if a personal injury claimant will be eligible to get paid in accordance with the Thirteenth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Purdue Pharma L.P. and Its Affiliated Debtors  (as may be amended, modified or supplemented, the “Plan”), the Purdue PI Trust Distribution Procedures for Non-NAS PI Channeled Claims (the “Non-NAS PI TDP”) and for NAS PI Channeled Claims (the “NAS PI TDP”), and the Purdue Personal Injury Trust Agreement (the “PI Trust”). These documents can be found under the Pleadings and Important Documents Tab. On November 18, 2025, the Court approved the Plan.

The two types of personal injury claims that are channeled to the PI Trust and for which the PI Claims Administrator is requesting that PI Claimants complete and submit the applicable PI Trust Claim Form are the Non-NAS Personal Injury Claims (“Non-NAS PI Claims”) and the Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Personal Injury Claims (“NAS PI Claims”).  More information on the two types of PI Claims can be found below and on the Non-NAS PI Claims Tab and the NAS PI Claims Tab. Capitalized words used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to such words in the Plan.
