Restructuring proposal | ||
pursuant to section 13 and 13b of the Danish Bankruptcy Act | ||
Orphazyme A/S under restructuring | ||
CVR no. 32266355, Ole Maaløes Vej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N, Denmark | ||
Particulars | The Maritime and Commercial High Court Case R 22/22-A | |
The restructuring proceedings were initiated on 11 March 2022, at 7:00 am CET. | ||
Restructuring administrator | John Sommer Schmidt, attorney, Gorrissen Federspiel | |
Restructuring accountant | Søren Søndergaard Jensen, state-authorised public accountant, BDO | |
The company | Orphazyme A/S under restructuring (“Orphazyme”) is engaged in research, development, production, marketing, sale and/or licencing of medicinal products for the treatment of various diseases, including Lysosomal Storage Disease (LSD), neuromuscular diseases and related diseases, and conducts other associated activities. | |
Background for the restructuring proceedings | Orphazyme’s financial situation has for some time been uncertain, which was aggravated by the negative trend vote announced on 23 February 2022 by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). This is the reason why the company decided to initiate restructuring proceedings. | |
Restructuring proposal | The restructuring proceedings involves the transfer of the company (step 1) followed by a moratorium arrangement involving full payment of creditor claims filed pursuant to section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act (step 2) as described in further detail on pages 2-3 (the next pages). | |
Creditors’ meeting in court | A creditors’ meeting to vote on the restructuring proposal will be held at the Maritime and Commercial High Court on Monday, 30 May 2022, at 1:00 pm. | |
The meeting will be held at the Maritime and Commercial High Court, Amaliegade 35, 2. , 1256 Copenhagen K, Denmark. | ||
All creditors are entitled to attend the meeting. | ||
At the creditors’ meeting, the restructuring proposal will be presented and discussed, and the creditors will vote on whether or not to approve the proposal, as outlined below. |

Transfer of the company (step 1 in the restructuring proposal) | In accordance with section 13b(1)(1) of the Danish Bankruptcy Act, it is the aim of the restructuring proposal to complete a transfer of the company to KemPharm Denmark A/S, CVR no. 43259326 (“KemPharm”), which comprise the following principal steps: | |
• KemPharm acquires the employees and all of Orphazyme’s assets, except for certain exempted assets, including name, balances in bank accounts, shares in subsidiaries and accounts receivable. | ||
• KemPharm takes over certain liabilities, including employee liabilities, liabilities relating to an early access patient program and certain milestone payments linked to approvals of medicinal products. | ||
• KemPharm takes over certain of Orphazyme’s continued agreements relevant to the continued operations of the business operated by Orphazyme. | ||
• In addition to taking over certain liabilities, KemPharm pays a cash purchase price of USD 12.8 million (approx. DKK 91 million). | ||
The agreed date of transfer (closing) is 1 June 2022. | ||
The transfer of the company to KemPharm is conditional up-on the approval by the creditors and the affirmation of this restructuring proposal by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 13d and section 13e of the Bankruptcy Act. |

Moratorium arrangement with full payment of claims filed pursuant to section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act (step 2 of the restructuring proposal) | Subject to the transfer of the company, a moratorium arrangement is offered pursuant to section 10a of the Bankruptcy Act with full payment (100%) of all claims filed pursuant to section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act. | |
The moratorium arrangement will consist in the payment in June or July 2022 at the latest of the creditor claims filed and approved. However, as regards contested and/or conditional claims payment will not be effected until the claim has been established by judgment and/or has become relevant. | ||
According to section 10a(3)(2) of the Bankruptcy Act, Orphazyme will pay no interest in the period after the commencement of the restructuring proceedings on claims covered by section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act. However, interest is paid on claims secured by company charge, seeing that the charge is sufficient to cover interest. | ||
Claims ranking senior pursuant to sections 94 and 96 of the Bankruptcy Act will be paid in full pursuant to section 10a(2)(3) of the Bankruptcy Act. | ||
All other claims will not be paid, cf. section 10a(3) of the Bankruptcy Act. | ||
Full payment as indicated above is made possible by the purchase price paid at the time of the transfer of the company. Thus, the transfer of the company (step 1) is a condition for the completion of the moratorium arrangement with full payment of claims filed under section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act (step 2). | ||
Orphazyme’s financial status/insolvency balance sheet | Pursuant to section 13b(1)(2), the restructuring accountant has drawn up a list of the company’s assets and liabilities in the form of an insolvency balance sheet, including a statement of both mortgages and unsecured creditors. | |
The insolvency balance sheet with the restructuring accountant’s comments is attached as Appendix A. | ||
Estimated dividend in the event of bankruptcy | Dividend for claims filed under section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act in the event of bankruptcy as an alternative to completing the transfer of the company is associated with considerable uncertainty. | |
The most likely scenario in a bankruptcy situation would be that the company cannot be sold as one entity, and the value of any sale would be significantly reduced. In such a scenario, no dividend is likely to accrue to claims covered by section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act; see also the insolvency balance sheet (Appendix A). |

The restructuring administrator’s statements etc. pursuant to section 13b(1)(3) | In connection with the restructuring proceedings, no circumstances have been identified that could give rise to reversal proceedings, or attachment or arrest, and which would lapse as a result of the commencement of the restructuring proceedings. | |
Likewise, no such actionable circumstances have been identified that could warrant bankruptcy disqualification proceedings. | ||
The reason for Orphazyme’s financial difficulties and the reason for the restructuring proceedings are described above. | ||
The cooperation with Orphazyme’s management and employees during the restructuring proceedings has been smooth. They have followed the instructions issued by the restructuring administrator and have generally worked to ensure completion of the restructuring proceedings. | ||
In the restructuring administrator’s opinion, the proposal is reasonable and offers sufficient assurance of its fulfilment, seeing that Orphazyme’s debts according to section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act – as regards the debts known at the time of preparing this restructuring proposal – can be paid in full after receiving the transfer price from the transfer of the company. However, there is always a risk that not all conditions are satisfied and unforeseen events may occur. | ||
The restructuring administrator’s statements etc. pursuant to section 13b(1)(3) | The restructuring accountant’s account of the correlation between the list of assets and liabilities/the insolvency balance sheet (Appendix A) and the debtor’s most recent financial statements is submitted as Appendix B. | |
The restructuring accountant’s statement concerning the feasibility of the restructuring proceedings is attached as Appendix C. | ||
List of creditors | The list of creditors is attached as Appendix D. |

Specific comments to the class action lawsuit brought in the United States | Prior to the restructuring proceedings, two plaintiffs had filed a class action against Orphazyme in the US. This is a preliminary class action in which the two plaintiffs have requested that the court conduct a lawsuit on behalf of a larger and as yet unknown group of shareholders. | |
The court has not yet approved (or dismissed) the class action. As the matter stands, this case still concerns only the two original plaintiffs. | ||
Orphazyme is contesting the claims in entirety, and it is Orphazyme’s contention that the action be dismissed. After the completion of the restructuring proceedings, Orphazyme will have funds to conduct the case and cover the two plaintiffs’ alleged losses if the court should find in favour of the two plaintiffs. At present, there is a potential loss from a larger “class” if the class action is allowed. However, this is still so uncertain and remote that as of yet it makes no sense for Orphazyme to address this issue. It should be noted that the two original plaintiffs have not filed any claims with the restructuring administrator. | ||
Attendance and voting rights at the creditors’ meeting | All creditors are entitled to attend the above-mentioned creditors’ meeting that will be held at the Maritime and Commercial High Court on 30 May 2022, where the restructuring proposal will be discussed, and where the creditors will vote on whether or not to adopt the proposal. The meeting can be attended by physical attendance or by power of attorney issued to a person attending in person. | |
Only claims covered by section 97 of the Bankruptcy Act are eligible to vote and otherwise with the restrictions provided for in section 13d of the Bankruptcy Act. | ||
The restructuring proposal is regarded as adopted pursuant to section 13d(1) of the Bankruptcy Act, unless a majority of creditors represented at the bankruptcy court meeting and participating in the vote, vote against the proposal. | ||
Power of attorney | In the event that you, as a creditor, can approve the restructuring proposal but you cannot or do not wish to attend the creditors’ meeting, we attach a power of attorney authorising the restructuring administrator to vote in favour of the restructuring proposal. | |
The closing of the restructuring proceedings | If the restructuring proposal is adopted by the creditors and affirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, the restructuring proceedings will be closed by completing the transfer of the company to KemPharm, and Orphazyme will pay its debts to the creditors in accordance with the restructuring proposal. | |
If the restructuring proposal is not adopted and affirmed, the restructuring proceedings will automatically cease and bankruptcy proceedings will be initiated against Orphazyme. |

NOTES FOR OFFSET BALANCE
1. Asset purchase agreement of 15 May 2022 regarding specified assets
The Company has entered an agreement with a buyer at 15 May 2022 on acquisition of specified assets at a total selling price of $12,8 m (DKK 91,5 m). The assets had a carrying amount of DKK 4 m. The sale comprises the following assets. The buyer also acquires any liability of The French early access Compassionate Use Program.
• | Inventory |
• | Property, plant and equipment |
• | Trademarks, trade names, domain names, etc. |
• | Customer lists, contracts and related relationships |
• | Supply and other related vendor agreements |
• | Assembled workforce and agreements |
• | In-process research and development |
• | Patents, copyrights, trade secrets and licenses |
2. Deferred tax assets
The Company has not recognised deferred tax asset of DKK 454 m. This tax asset can be used in future income. The deferred tax asset can have financial impact in the future but is not recognised with value in the offset balance sheet.
3. Rental deposits
The value of the assets is assessed based on the value that the assets will have at continuous use in the Company, cf. the assumptions of the reconstruction plan. The carrying amount of deposit is written down with 50% as en estimation as a consequence of lease disposal and expected costs for renovation.
At a potential bankruptcy the asset is assessed to have a significantly reduced value as reflected in the column “at bankruptcy”.
4. Leased assets/Right of use assets
Leased assets are measured at expected net proceeds for sale of laboratory equipment, which is expected to be bought out from the lease agreement in the reconstruction period.
5. Investment in subsidiaries
Equity investments in subsidiaries are being closed down and proceeds for the parent company are not expected, for which reason the equity investments are written down to DKK 0.
BDO Statsautoriseret revisionsaktieselskab, a Danish limited liability company, is a member of BDO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.
This document is an unofficial translation of the original Danish text, and in case of any discrepancy between the Danish text and the English translation, the Danish text shall prevail.
6. Intercompany receivables
Equity investments in subsidiaries are being closed down and proceeds for the parent company are not expected for which reason the receivables are written down to DKK 0.
7. Receivable tax credit plan
The Company has requested a tax credit plan of DKK (‘000) 5,500 in total, in accordance with section 8x of the Danish Tax Assessment Act for the accounting period 2020/21. In the reconstruction plan there is assumed going concern after the tax return period (1 July 2021 - 30 June 2022), for which reason additional DKK (‘000) 5,500 can be applied for in the tax credit plan.
At a potential bankruptcy the asset is assessed to have a value of DKK (‘000) 5,500 as reflected in the column “at bankruptcy”.
8. Prepaid expenses
The carrying amount constituted DKK (‘000) 4,945 and is pertinent to prepayments and accruals, primarily. The item is solely of value in going concern and cannot be applied for satisfaction by the creditors.
At a potential bankruptcy the asset is assessed to have a value of DKK 0 as reflected in the column “at bankruptcy”.
9. VAT receivable
The item consists of input VAT receivable at the deadline.
10. Trade receivables
Trade receivables are 2 invoices not fallen due of DKK (‘000) 15,111 in total, which are added expected income of DKK (‘000) 2,500 until the deadline, so that trade receivables at 10 March 2022 constitute DKK (‘000) 17,611. Offsetting against receivables at DKK (‘000) 863 in total have been made.
At a potential bankruptcy the asset is assessed to have an unchanged value as reflected in the column “at bankruptcy”.
11. Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand consist of deposits with banks at the deadline.
This document is an unofficial translation of the original Danish text, and in case of any discrepancy between the Danish text and the English translation, the Danish text shall prevail.

The restructuring proposal has been prepared based on the valuation of the debtor’s assets at the time of the commencement of the restructuring process. Please refer to section 2 of the restructuring proposal, in which the assumptions of the restructuring proposal are accounted for. There is uncertainty regarding the assumptions stated. The actual outcome will probably deviate from the expected, as events do not often occur as expected, which may impact the reasonableness and completion of the restructuring proposal.
My report is prepared solely to comply with the requirements of the Danish Bankruptcy Act in connection with the restructuring of the Company and may not be used for any other purposes.

The restructuring accountant’s responsibilities
Based on my examinations, it is my responsibility to express an opinion as to whether in my assessment the restructuring proposal is reasonable and offers adequate security for the completion of the proposal.
I have performed my examinations in accordance with ISAE 3000, other assurance reports than audit or review of historical financial information and additional requirements according to the Danish Act on Approved Auditors and Audit Firms for the purpose of achieving limited assurance for my opinion.
BDO Statsautoriseret revisionsaktieselskab is subject to the international standard on quality control, ISQC 1, and thus, applies an extensive quality control system, including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards as well as applicable statutory requirements and other regulation.
I am independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA’s Code of Ethics) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, just like I have complied with other additional ethical obligations according to these rules and requirements.

The extent of the actions I have performed during my examination are less than at a reasonable assurance engagement. As a consequence hereof, the assurance level for my opinion is significantly less than the assurance obtained had it been a reasonable assurance engagement.
