LONG-TERM TRANSACTION INCENTIVE PLAN (“Transaction Incentive Plan”)
AS AMENDED AND RESTATED ON DECEMBER 2, 2024
A.Purposes. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mallinckrodt plc (the “Company”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to provide an incentive to retain certain key employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries through and following the closing of certain strategic transactions and dispositions and to align incentivization of employees and directors with the Board acting in the best interests of the Company. In order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to adopt this Mallinckrodt plc Transaction Incentive Plan (this “Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which such key employees and directors shall be eligible to receive Transaction Bonuses and Incremental Transaction Bonuses (each as defined below) upon and following the closing of Qualifying Transactions (as defined below), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan on August 5, 2024 and this second amendment and restatement of the Plan on December 2, 2024, provided that the terms of the Plan as further amended and restated herein shall apply to any Qualifying Transaction occurring after the Effective Date.
B.Participants. The “Participants” shall mean, collectively, those persons listed on Exhibit A hereto, which may be amended from time to time by the Board, each of whom shall receive a Participation Letter (as defined below).
C.Plan Term. This Plan shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the earlier of the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date or a Qualifying Significant Event (the “Termination Date”) (provided that (i) Initial Net Proceeds in respect of any Qualifying Transaction that has a Measurement Date on or prior to the Termination Date shall still be payable after the Termination Date in accordance with the terms of this Plan and any applicable Participant Letter thereunder, and (ii) Incremental Transaction Bonuses with respect to any Incremental Net Proceeds received after the Termination Date shall still be payable after the Termination Date in accordance with the terms of this Plan and any applicable Participant Letter thereunder).
D.Transaction Bonuses and Incremental Transaction Bonuses – Payment and Eligibility. Except as may otherwise be provided in a Participant’s Participation Letter, upon the date of the closing of each Qualifying Transaction (each, a “Closing Date”), each Participant who has remained continuously employed or engaged by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on such Closing Date, shall be eligible to receive a Transaction Bonus with respect to such Qualifying Transaction, which Transaction Bonus shall be payable in cash in two equal installments, as follows: (i) 50% of the Transaction Bonus shall be paid on or within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date of such Qualifying Transaction or, if a notice of objection as described in Section G has been delivered, within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date of such Qualifying Transaction and (ii) 50% of the Transaction Bonus shall be paid on the earlier of (A) the Termination Date, subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries through the Termination Date, and (B) a Significant Asset Transaction, subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries through the Significant Asset Transaction, provided, however, that in the event of a Closing Date that occurs following a Qualifying Significant Event or Significant Asset Transaction, 100% of the applicable Transaction Bonus shall be paid on, or within thirty (30) days following, the Closing Date of such Qualifying Transaction or if a notice of objection as described in Section G has been delivered within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date of such Qualifying Transaction. In addition, except as may otherwise be provided in a Participant’s Participation Letter, if there are any Incremental Net Proceeds (as defined below) with respect to a Qualifying Transaction, each Participant shall receive the Incremental Transaction Bonus on the Termination Date or a Significant Asset Transaction, as applicable (or, if later, promptly after the underlying Incremental Net Proceeds are received), subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries through the payment date.
E.Transaction Bonus Pool and Incremental Transaction Bonus Pool. The “Transaction Bonus Pool” for each Qualifying Transaction shall be an amount equal to the product of the Initial Net Proceeds (as defined below) with respect to such Qualifying Transaction multiplied by the “Bonus Pool Funding Percentage” set forth in the table below, which varies depending on the Measurement Date (as defined below) with respect to such Qualifying Transaction and will be determined as follows:

(2)Amendment. The Plan may be amended by the Board in its good faith and reasonable discretion at any time and from time to time; provided that no such amendment shall impair the then-existing rights of a Participant under the Plan, including for the avoidance of doubt, this Section G, at any time after August 5, 2024 without the consent of such Participant.
(3)Taxes. All amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to any applicable federal, state and local tax withholding and other applicable charges or withholdings.

(6)Use of “Employee” and “Employment.” The words “employee” and “employment” are sometimes used herein to describe the relationship between the Participant and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, even though the Participant may not be deemed an employee for tax purposes. Unless the context indicates otherwise, when this Plan refers to “employee” or “employment,” such reference means the service relationship described in the immediately preceding sentence, and when this Plan refers to the termination of employment, such reference means the end of such service relationship between the Participant and the Company or the applicable subsidiary or affiliate.
(7)Entire Plan; Relation to Other Agreements. Except as otherwise set forth herein or otherwise agreed to in writing between the Company and a Participant, the Plan and the Participant’s Participation Letter contain the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement, arrangement and understanding between any Participant and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof.
