On April 12, 2017 (the Petition Date), Unilife Corporation

Debtors) filed voluntary petitions in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Court) for
relief under Chapter 11 (Chapter 11) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as amended (the Bankruptcy Code). The Debtors
have requested that the Chapter 11 cases be jointly administered
under the caption In re: Unilife Corporation, et al. (the Chapter
11 Cases).The Debtors continue to operate their business as
debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
and orders of the Court. Unilife and its subsidiaries are
referred to herein as the Company.

The Debtors intend to promptly seek the necessary relief from the
Court to insure a smooth transition into Chapter 11 and to
continue operating their businesses in the ordinary course under
the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the
Court.

Restructuring and Section 363 Sale Process

The Debtors will pursue a competitive process to bidding
procedures to be approved by the Court, seeking qualified bids
for a sale at auction of all or substantially all of the Debtors
assets to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Sale) while at
the same time leaving open and pursuing the option of a balance
sheet restructuring of their debt and equity.

Debtor-in-Possession Financing

The Debtors have reached agreement with ROS Acquisition Offshore
LP (ROS), an affiliate of OrbiMed Advisors, on a term sheet to
which ROS would provide a debtor-in-possession financing facility
(the DIP Facility) to provide liquidity and to support the
Debtors continued operations during the pendency of the Chapter
11 Cases.The effectiveness of the DIP Facility is subject to the
entry and effectiveness of an order of the Court approving the
DIP Facility and certain customary conditions precedent (the
Conditions) including, without limitation, the execution of
customary definitive documentation and delivery of closing
documents, and ROS satisfaction with, in its sole and absolute
discretion, the DIP Facility, any DIP loan documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby.

As contemplated by the term sheet, the DIP Facility is a senior
secured priming superpriority debtor-in-possession credit
facility in a maximum principal amount of $7.5 million (the Total
Commitment) consisting of:

(i)

A term loan commitment in a maximum principal amount of
$1 million, which would be available upon entry of an
interim order of the Court approving the DIP Facility;
and

(ii)

A term loan commitment in a maximum principal amount of
$6.5 million, which would be available upon entry of a
final order of the Court approving the DIP facility (the
date of entry of such final order, the Final Order Date)
in three tranches, with the first advance on the date
that is three (3) business days after the Final Order
Date and the second and third advances on or about June
1, 2017 and June 30, 2017.

Interest on the DIP Financing would be payable monthly in cash in
arrears at a rate of 10% per year, or at 13% per year following
termination of the DIP Facility or while any event of default
specified under the DIP Facility (Event of Default) has occurred
and is continuing.

As contemplated by the term sheet, the maturity date of the DIP
Facility is defined as the earliest of the following: (i) July
15, 2017, (ii) the date that is 35 days after the Petition Date
if the Courts final order approving the DIP Facility has not been
entered by such date, (iii) the closing date of the Sale, (iv)
the date of an acceleration of the Debtors DIP obligations due to
the occurrence of an Event of Default (subject to any right to
cure, if such Event of Default provides for a cure period and is
capable of cure), (v) the date of the appointment of a Chapter 11
trustee or an examiner with expanded powers in any of the Chapter
11 Cases, (vi) the date of the conversion of any of the Chapter
11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii)
the date of the dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases, (viii)
the effective date of any Debtors plan of reorganization in the
Chapter 11 Cases that has been confirmed by an order of the
Court, and (ix) the date of the repayment in full of the DIP
Facility and the termination of the commitments thereunder.

Subject to limited exceptions, the Debtors obligations under the
DIP Facility are expected to be secured by all pre-petition and
post-petition assets of the Debtors and are guaranteed by
Unilifes Australian subsidiaries.

Unilife anticipates that it will file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission any term sheet executed by the Debtors
relating to the DIP Facility following the receipt of interim
approval of such term sheet by the Court and satisfaction of the
Conditions.

Item 2.04.Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct
Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangement.

The disclosure under Item 1.03 of this Current Report is
incorporated herein by reference.

The Chapter 11 Filings constituted an event of default under the
Credit Agreement dated March 12, 2014 (as amended from time to
time, the Credit Agreement) by and between Unilife Medical
Solution, Inc. (the Borrower), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Unilife, and ROS.In addition, the Borrowers failure, as of April
7, 2017, to maintain at least $3,000,000 of unrestricted cash and
cash equivalents constituted an event of default under the Credit
Agreement.Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, upon the
Chapter 11 Filings, the

outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest to date, in
the aggregate amount of approximately $86.7 million became
immediately due and payable.

The Chapter 11 Filings also constituted an event of default under
each of the 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes that Unilife
issued to Amgen, Inc. (Amgen) on February 22, 2016, October 24,
2016, and December 20, 2016 (collectively, the Notes) in an
aggregate amount of $45.6 million.Under the terms of the Notes,
upon the Chapter 11 Filings, the outstanding principal and
accrued and unpaid interest to date, in the aggregate amount of
approximately $45.7 million became immediately due and payable.

These events of default could also result in ROS or Amgen or
Unilifes other secured lenders enforcing their security interests
in assets of Unilife and/or its U.S. and Australian subsidiaries,
as applicable, and taking other actions against such entities.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, any remedies that may exist related to
the events of default described above are stayed, under Section
