With $8bn of long-term debt on its balance sheet, fierce generic competition to its biggest-selling brand, and hundreds of millions in potential opioid-related legal claims hanging over it, Endo has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the US, providing a potential lifeline to the former serial deal maker that has been overwhelmed by its alleged involvement in the US opioid epidemic.
