Akorn, Inc…today announced it has reached an agreement with certain of its lenders to extend the standstill period. The agreement defines a path forward and outlines milestones to execute a sale of Akorn's business, potentially using Chapter 11 protection in order to address Akorn's litigation-related overhangs and execute a transaction that maximizes value.

Doug Boothe, Akorn's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Akorn is a fundamentally strong business with exciting opportunities ahead.”

May you live in exciting times!
