Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Declares Special Cash Dividend

Payment of Special Dividend Contingent upon Closing of the Pending Merger Transaction

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indivior Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: INDV) (“Indivior”) today announced that its Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend (the "Special Dividend") in the amount of (i) $8.13 per share of Indivior common stock payable to holders of record of the issued and outstanding Indivior common stock as of October 30, 2026 (the “Special Dividend Record Date”) (such holders, the “Special Dividend Record Holders”) and (ii) $8.13 per share of Indivior common stock underlying Indivior equity awards on the Special Dividend Record Date payable, upon vesting of such equity awards, to the holders of certain Indivior equity awards outstanding as of the Special Dividend Record Date (the “Special Dividend Award Holders”).

Payment of the Special Dividend is subject to and contingent upon the closing of Indivior’s previously announced merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Supernus”) which is expected to be consummated on or about November 2, 2026, subject to, among other things, the approval by Indivior stockholders of the issuance of Indivior common stock in connection with the Merger, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Supernus stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions under the Merger Agreement. Indivior will not pay the Special Dividend if the Merger is not completed for any reason. Assuming the Merger is consummated on November 2, 2026, payment of the Special Dividend is anticipated to be made to eligible Special Dividend Record Holders on or about November 6, 2026. Supernus stockholders will not be entitled to receive the Special Dividend with respect to any Indivior common stock received as consideration in the Merger.
