Indivior (NASDAQ: INDV) wins shareholder approval for restructuring scheme

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Indivior PLC obtained strong shareholder approval for a scheme of arrangement and amended and restated articles of association that reshape its corporate structure. A new Article 136 ensures that any ordinary shares issued after the Amended Articles take effect but before the Scheme Record Time are automatically subject to the scheme, so all Indivior PLC shareholders will become shareholders of Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Indivior PLC will become its wholly-owned subsidiary.

At a Court Meeting, 15 shareholders voted for the scheme and 2 against, with 94,968,161 votes for and 46,544 against, exceeding the English law requirement of a majority in number representing not less than seventy-five percent in value of shares present and voting. At an Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders passed six related special resolutions, including authorising directors to implement the scheme, reducing share capital, issuing New Indivior Shares, amending articles, re-registering the company as a private company limited by shares, and adopting post-scheme articles. Completion of the scheme still depends on sanction by the High Court of Justice, with a hearing expected on January 22, 2026, and completion is expected later in January 2026.

Insights

Corporate governance and restructuring analyst

Indivior shareholders backed all key steps for a holding-structure scheme, but High Court sanction on January 22, 2026 is still needed.

Indivior PLC secured shareholder approval for a scheme of arrangement under English law that would result in all current shareholders becoming shareholders of Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc., with Indivior PLC turning into its wholly-owned subsidiary. A new Article 136 in the Amended Articles brings any ordinary shares issued between the article’s effectiveness and the Scheme Record Time under the same scheme terms, preventing any interim share issuances from sitting outside the transaction.

Support levels were high. At the Court Meeting, the scheme passed the statutory test of a majority in number representing not less than seventy-five percent in value of shares present and voting, with 94,968,161 votes for and 46,544 against. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, six special resolutions linked to implementing the scheme—including authorising directors to act, reducing capital, issuing New Indivior Shares, re-registering as a private company limited by shares, and adopting post-scheme articles—each passed on a poll with substantial majorities.

Despite these approvals, the restructuring is not yet complete. The scheme remains conditional on sanction by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, with a hearing expected on January 22, 2026 and completion expected later in January 2026. Until court sanction and completion, Indivior PLC’s existing status and listing framework continue unchanged, and subsequent company communications will determine when the new structure formally takes effect.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 11, 2025 shareholders of Indivior PLC (the "Company" or the "Registrant") approved amended and restated articles of association (the “Amended Articles”). The amendments introduced a new Article 136 for the purpose of facilitating the scheme of arrangement as set out in the shareholder circular published on November 14, 2025 (the “Scheme of Arrangement”). Pursuant to the new Article 136, any ordinary shares allotted and issued after the Amended Articles take effect but before the Scheme Record Time (as defined in the Amended Articles) are subject to the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, and the holders of such shares are bound by the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement accordingly. This ensures that all Indivior PLC shareholders become shareholders of Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and that Indivior PLC becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in each case through operation of the Scheme of Arrangement and despite any interim issues of shares in Indivior PLC that might occur prior to completion of the Scheme of Arrangement (expected later in January 2026). The Amended Articles became effective on December 11, 2025. The foregoing description of the Amended Articles is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Articles, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On December 11, 2025, two meetings of the Company's shareholders were held in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement and related matters.

Results of the Court Meeting

The first meeting was convened by an order of the High Court of Justice made on November 7, 2025 (the "Court Meeting") to approve the Scheme of Arrangement. Under English law, the statutory majority required to approve the Scheme of Arrangement at the Court Meeting is a majority in number representing not less than seventy-five percent in value of the shares present and voting. The result of the poll taken at the Court Meeting of the Company's shareholders is set out as follows:

1. To approve the Scheme of Arrangement at the Court Meeting.

Number of Shareholders Voting For			Number of Shareholders Voting Against			Withheld			Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
15			2			0			0

Votes For			Votes Against			Withheld			Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
94,968,161			46,544			0			0

Accordingly, the resolution approving the Scheme of Arrangement at the Court Meeting was passed by a majority in number representing not less than seventy-five per cent by number of votes of those present and voting at the Court Meeting (in person or by proxy).
