STATEMENT REQUIRED BY IRISH TAKEOVER RULES
The directors of the Company accept responsibility for the information contained in this announcement. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this announcement is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.
No statement in this announcement is intended to constitute a profit forecast for any period, nor should any statements be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share will necessarily be greater or lesser than those for the relevant preceding financial periods for the Company or Perrigo Company plc (“Perrigo”) as appropriate. No statement in this announcement constitutes an asset valuation.
DEALING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules, if any person is, or becomes, ‘interested’ (directly or indirectly) in, 1% or more of any class of ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo or the Company, all ‘dealings’ in any ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo or the Company (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such ‘relevant securities’) must be publicly disclosed by not later than 3:30 pm (New York time) on the ‘business’ day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the ‘offer period’ ends. If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an ‘interest’ in ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo or the Company, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Irish Takeover Rules, all ‘dealings’ in ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo by the Company or ‘relevant securities’ of the Company by Perrigo, or by any party acting in concert with either of them, must also be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (New York time) on the ‘business’ day following the date of the relevant transaction.
A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose ‘relevant securities’ ‘dealings’ should be disclosed, can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.
Interests in securities arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an ‘interest’ by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Irish Takeover Rules, which can also be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a dealing under Rule 8, please consult the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact the Irish Takeover Panel on telephone number +353 1 678 9020 or fax number +353 1 678 9289.
Goldman Sachs International, which is authorized by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, and its affiliate, Goldman, Sachs & Co., are acting as joint financial adviser to the Company and no one else in connection with the Company’s proposed acquisition of Perrigo and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to clients of Goldman Sachs International, Goldman, Sachs & Co or any of their affiliates, nor for providing advice in relation to the Company’s acquisition of Perrigo or any other matters referred to in this announcement. Neither Goldman Sachs International nor Goldman, Sachs & Co. nor any of their affiliates owes or accepts any duty, liability or responsibility whatsoever (whether direct or indirect, whether in contract, in tort, under statute or otherwise) to any person who is not a client of Goldman Sachs International, Goldman, Sachs & Co. or any of their affiliates in connection with this announcement, any statement contained herein, the Company’s proposed acquisition of Perrigo or otherwise.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In connection with the offer, the Company expects to file certain materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, among other materials, a Registration Statement on Form S-4 and a proxy statement on Schedule 14A (in preliminary and then definitive form). This report is not intended to be, and is not, a substitute for such filings or for any other document that the Company may file with the SEC in connection with the offer. INVESTORS AND SECURITYHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AND PERRIGO ARE URGED TO READ THE OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY (IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE) BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, PERRIGO AND THE OFFER. Such documents will be available free of charge through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to the Company at 724-514-1813 or investor.relations@mylan.com. Any materials filed by the Company with the SEC that are required to be mailed to shareholders of Perrigo and/or the Company will also be mailed to such shareholders. This report has been prepared in accordance with U.S. securities law, Irish law and the Irish Takeover Rules.
PARTICIPANTS IN SOLICITATION
