`
`Dear Impax Stockholders:
`
`
`
`LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS OF IMPAX
`
`The board of directors of Impax Laboratories, Inc. (“Impax”) and the board of managers of Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC (“Amneal”) recently agreed
`to combine the generics and specialty pharmaceutical business of Impax with the generic drug development and manufacturing business of Amneal in a
`transaction that represents an opportunity to create a new generics company, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”), dated as of
`October 17, 2017, among Impax, Amneal, Atlas Holdings, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Impax ( “Holdco”) and K2 Merger Sub Corporation, a
`direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”), as amended on November 21, 2017 and December 16, 2017, and the transactions contemplated
`thereby (the “Combination”).
`
`The Combination includes (i) the merger of Impax with Merger Sub with Impax surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco
`(the “Impax Merger”), (ii) the conversion of the surviving corporation of the Impax Merger into a Delaware limited liability company, (iii) the contribution
`by Holdco of all of the equity interests of Impax to Amneal in exchange for certain equity interests of Amneal and (iv) the issuance by Holdco of shares
`of its Class B common stock to the existing members of Amneal (the “Existing Amneal Members”).
`
`Following completion of the Combination, the combined businesses will operate under Holdco as a new holding company, which will be renamed
`Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“New Amneal”). In connection with the Combination, each share of common stock of Impax will be converted into the right
`to receive one share of New Amneal Class A common stock. Holders of Impax common stock (“Impax Stockholders”) immediately prior to the
`Combination will collectively hold approximately 25%, and the Existing Amneal Members will hold approximately 75%, of the voting and economic
`interests in the combined businesses of Impax and Amneal under New Amneal. Following the closing of the Combination and the PIPE Investment (as
`described on pages 5 -6 of the enclosed combined proxy statement/prospectus), it is expected that the Existing Amneal Members will hold approximately
`60% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of New Amneal common stock (the “New Amneal Shares”) and TPG Improv Holdings, L.P. and other
`institutional investors will hold approximately 15% of the voting power of the outstanding New Amneal Shares.
`
`We are excited about the Combination and the opportunities that it presents, and we invite you to a special meeting of Impax Stockholders (the
`“Special Meeting”) to be held on March 27, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. local time, at the Bridgewater Marriott Hotel located at 700 Commons Way, Bridgewater, New
`Jersey 08807, to vote on matters relating to the Combination.
`
`You are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
` a proposal to adopt the BCA and thereby approve the Combination (the “Combination Proposal”);
`
` a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensatory arrangements between Impax and certain Impax executive officers
`relating to the Combination that are disclosed in the section entitled “The Special Meeting—Vote Required and Impax Board
`Recommendation—Compensation Proposal” beginning on page 68 of the enclosed combined proxy statement/prospectus;
`
` a proposal to approve and adopt the Atlas Holdings, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan; and
`
` a proposal to approve any motion to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, (i) due to the absence of a quorum, (ii) to
`prevent a violation of applicable law, (iii) to provide to Impax

`Stockholders any supplement or amendment to the combined proxy statement/prospectus and/or (iv) to solicit additional proxies if Impax
`reasonably determines that it is advisable or necessary to do so in order to obtain Impax Stockholder approval of the Combination Proposal.
`
`IMPAX’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
`
`The Combination cannot be completed unless you vote to adopt the BCA and thereby approve the Combination. Approval of the Combination
`Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Combination; the failure to adopt the other proposals will have no impact on the consummation of the
`Combination.
`
`More information about the Combination and the proposals described above is contained in the enclosed combined proxy statement/prospectus.
`We urge you to read this document, including the Annexes and the documents incorporated by reference, carefully and in full. In particular, we urge
`you to read the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 27 of the enclosed combined proxy statement/prospectus.
`
`The close of business on February 9, 2018 has been fixed as the record date for determining the Impax Stockholders entitled to receive notice of and
`to vote at the Special Meeting.
`
`We look forward to seeing you at the Special Meeting and appreciate your support at this key moment for our company.
`
`Best regards,
`
`Paul M. Bisaro
`President and Chief Executive Officer

`is a criminal offense.

`February 13, 2018.

`certain other matters described in this combined proxy statement/prospectus at the Special Meeting and to approve the adjournment of the Special
`Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the

`Q: When and where will the Special Meeting take place?
`
`A: The Special Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on March 27, 2018, at the Bridgewater Marriott Hotel located at 700 Commons Way,
