- Two Seas Capital LP, Two Seas Capital GP LLC, and Sina Toussi (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") beneficially own 11,579,819 Ordinary Shares of Indivior PLC, representing approximately 9.3% of the outstanding shares as of March 1, 2025.
- The shares are held by two funds: 8,781,045 Ordinary Shares by the Litigation Fund and 2,798,774 Ordinary Shares by the Global Fund.
- The aggregate purchase price for the Litigation Fund's shares was approximately $77,503,903, and for the Global Fund's shares was approximately $29,547,122.
- Shares were purchased using working capital, which may include margin loans, and proceeds from a Credit Facility with UBS AG, London Branch.
- The Litigation Fund has pledged 8,781,045 Ordinary Shares to UBS as collateral for a Credit Facility, which has an outstanding loan amount of $18,774,884.89.
- The Credit Facility's maturity date is July 31, 2025, with a variable interest rate.
- The Litigation Fund plans to pay down $11,744,884.89 of the outstanding loan on March 5, 2025, reducing the balance to $7,000,000.
- The Global Fund has entered into cash-settled swaps representing economic exposure to a notional interest in 1,812,709 Ordinary Shares (approx. 1.5%) with Jefferies Financial Products, LLC and 1,340,988 Ordinary Shares (approx. 1.1%) with Goldman Sachs International.

Sentiment
Score: 4
Explanation: The sentiment is slightly cautious. While the investor maintains a significant stake, the net sales of shares in the past 60 days and the substantial portion of shares pledged as collateral for a variable-rate loan introduce elements of financial leverage and potential risk, offsetting the positive of a planned debt paydown.
Positives
- The Reporting Persons maintain a significant beneficial ownership stake of 9.3% in Indivior PLC, indicating continued interest.
- The Litigation Fund has committed to a substantial paydown of its outstanding loan amount under the Credit Facility by $11,744,884.89 on March 5, 2025, reducing its debt burden.
Negatives
- A significant portion of the Litigation Fund's holdings (8,781,045 Ordinary Shares) are pledged as collateral under a Credit Facility, exposing them to foreclosure risk upon default.
- The Reporting Persons, through their funds, have engaged in net sales of 427,695 Ordinary Shares in the past 60 days, indicating a reduction in direct equity exposure.
- The Credit Facility carries a variable interest rate, exposing the Litigation Fund to potential increases in financing costs.
- The funds utilize margin loans as part of their working capital, which can increase financial leverage and risk.
Risks
- Foreclosure proceedings against the 8,781,045 pledged Ordinary Shares if the Litigation Fund defaults on its obligations under the Credit Facility Agreement.
- Exposure to variable interest rates on the Credit Facility, which could increase financing costs.
- Potential for certain event of default triggers under the Credit Facility Agreement to be satisfied by unencumbered assets of the Litigation Fund.
- Reliance on margin loans for working capital, which can amplify losses if share prices decline.
Future Outlook
The Litigation Fund has a planned payment of $11,744,884.89 on its Credit Facility on March 5, 2025, which will reduce the outstanding loan amount to $7,000,000. The Credit Facility is set to mature on July 31, 2025.
Industry Context
This filing is an update on a significant investor's stake and financing arrangements in Indivior PLC, rather than a company-specific operational or financial announcement. As such, it primarily reflects the investment strategy and financial leverage of the Reporting Persons, Two Seas Capital, within the pharmaceutical sector, specifically concerning a company focused on addiction treatment.
Stakeholder Impact
- Shareholders: The significant beneficial ownership by Two Seas Capital and its affiliates, along with their trading activities, can influence market perception and potentially share price volatility. The pledging of a large block of shares as collateral introduces a potential overhang if foreclosure were to occur.
- Creditors (UBS AG, London Branch): As the lender for the Credit Facility, UBS is exposed to the credit risk of the Litigation Fund, mitigated by the pledged Indivior PLC shares.
Next Steps
- The Litigation Fund is committed to paying down $11,744,884.89 of its outstanding loan amount under the Credit Facility on March 5, 2025.
- The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on July 31, 2025.
