(Date of Event Which Requires Filing of This Statement)

If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of Rule 13d-1(e), Rule 13d-1(f) or Rule 13d-1(g), check the following box. ☐

Note: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See Rule 13d-7(b) for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 9, 2018 (the “Initial 13D” and, as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule 13D”), by the Reporting Person relating to Class A Common Stock of the New Issuer. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

The disclosure in Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On November 7, 2023, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly known as Amneal NewCo Inc.) (“Issuer”) became the successor of Amneal Intermediate Inc. (formerly known as Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (“Old PubCo”) pursuant to reorganization transactions in which (i) a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer merged with and into Old PubCo with Old PubCo surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer and, (ii) immediately following such merger, a direct and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer merged with and into Amneal LLC, with Amneal LLC surviving. The transactions resulted in the Issuer becoming a parent holding company of Old PubCo and Amneal LLC.

As a result of the First Merger, the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of Old PubCo outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger were by operation of law converted into an equal number of shares of class A common stock and class B common stock of the Issuer having the same rights as the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of Old PubCo had prior to the First Merger. As a result of the Second Merger, all units in Amneal LLC other than those held by Old PubCo were converted into an equal number of shares of class A common stock of the Issuer, and Amneal LLC became a direct and indirect (through Old PubCo) wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. The Reporting Person and each holder of units of Amneal LLC entered into separate stock surrender agreements with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Reporting Person and each holder of units of Amneal LLC, other than Old PubCo, respectively, surrendered all of the shares of class B common stock in the Issuer received in the First Merger for no consideration.

The Tax Receivable Agreement was amended on November 7, 2023 to provide that the payments that those persons who converted their units of Amneal LLC to Class A Common Stock of Old PubCo prior to the subject transaction are entitled to receive with respect to taxable years of Old PubCo beginning after the closing of the transaction will be reduced from 85% to 75% of applicable tax savings. The Tax Receivable Agreement otherwise remained unchanged by the transaction, and there was no accelerated payment thereunder as a result of the transaction. No new tax benefits will accrue under the Tax Receivable Agrement as a result of the subject transaction. A final tax distribution under the Amneal LLC LLCA was made on the closing of the transaction, after which no further tax distributions will be made.

The purpose of the transaction was to eliminate the two-tier structure of Old PubCo.

The disclosure in Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) – (b)

2

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and percentage of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, as well as the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as to which the Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, as of the date hereof, based on 306,544,199 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, as described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Form 8-K, filed on November 8, 2023:

The Reporting Person owns directly (i) 374,318 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) 24,977 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options exercisable for $15.01 per share, which expire on May 7, 2028 and (iii) 28,044 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options exercisable for $14.05 per share, which expire on May 6, 2029; and may be deemed to beneficially own 30,384,769 shares of Class A Common Stock held of record by trusts controlled by the Reporting Person.
