LETTER FROM YOUR PRESIDENT, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHAIRMAN
Treasury Building
Lower Grand Canal Street
Dublin D02 XN96
Ireland
September 17, 2015
Dear Perrigo Shareholder,
You recently received a request from Mylan N.V. (Mylan) to tender your shares of Perrigo Company plc (Perrigo) to Mylan in support of its unsolicited offer to acquire Perrigo. On behalf of the Perrigo Board of Directors, I strongly urge you to protect your investment in Perrigo and NOT tender your shares into Mylans inadequate offer.
Our Board of Directors has repeatedly rejected Mylans offer because it substantially undervalues our Company and does not adequately compensate shareholders for our exceptional standalone growth prospects. Our standalone strategy has rewarded Perrigo shareholders with a Total Shareholder Return of over 970% since 2007, which we have achieved through a balanced contribution of organic and inorganic growth. In that time period we have successfully integrated 27 acquisitions with trailing 12-month net sales of more than $3.2 billion, all while maintaining our relentless focus on return on invested capital. Simply stated, Perrigo has an outstanding track record of value creation and our future is bright.
Mylans offer not only fails to reflect Perrigos outstanding track record of value creation, it also undervalues our compelling prospects for continued growth and sustainable, long-term shareholder value through the execution of our Base Plus Plus Plus strategy:
| Base: We expect our durable global base business, with consumer-facing products comprising approximately 75% of net sales, coupled with $1 billion in new product launches over the next three years (not including additional launches from the Branded Consumer Healthcare segment), to realize an organic net sales compound annual growth rate (CAGR) goal of 5-10%; |
| Base: We continue to build upon our recently acquired pan-European branded consumer healthcare platform and have completed three acquisitions in the past four months that were each immediately accretive to earnings per share (EPS), demonstrating our unique positioning to capitalize on the growing $30 billion European OTC market opportunity; |
| Plus: We expect significant upside from more than $29 billion in future prescription to over-the-counter (OTC) switches; |
| Plus: We expect substantial upside from attractive M&A opportunities as we remain fully committed to pursuing our deep pipeline of attractive global acquisition candidates; and |
| Plus: Additional upside from Tysabri® through an increasing royalty rate associated with potential new indications for additional treatments. |
After consideration of Mylans offer, our Board of Directors unanimously concluded that the offer substantially undervalues the strength of Perrigos business, operations, and future growth opportunities. We are confident in our 5-10% three-year organic revenue CAGR goal, as executed historically, and we expect to meet our financial targets in the years to come, creating value for you well in excess of Mylans offer, and with less risk.
Mylans failure to account for Perrigos standalone growth prospects is not the only reason you should not tender your shares into Mylans inadequate offer. Rather than create value, Mylans financially unattractive offer would expose you, as a valued Perrigo shareholder, to:
| A deal that, by Mylans own admission, is dilutive to Mylans adjusted EPS for at least three years even if Mylans synergy estimates are fully realized. Current Wall Street consensus forecasts estimate substantial double-digit dilution in year one; |
| An overly optimistic synergy target of at least $800 million, which we believe is challenging when factoring in the limited operational similarities between the two companies and Perrigos already lean business model. If these targets are missed, then the deal will become even more financially unattractive and further dilutive to adjusted EPS; and |
| A meager premium that does not come close to adequately compensating shareholders for the strength of Perrigos business and the risk of value destruction and is the lowest premium to unaffected price of any biopharmaceutical transaction of more than $5 billion since the start of 2012. |
In addition, Mylans business model would create significant financial risks and uncertainties for Perrigo shareholders who tender into the offer. Approximately two-thirds of Mylans proposed consideration consists of Mylan stock, which we believe will face negative pressures going forward:
| Mylans inferior 2016-2019 expected net sales growth profile of approximately 4% and historical average P/E multiple of 10.6x would be a significant drag on Perrigos superior expected organic net sales growth goal of 5-10% and historical three-year average P/E multiple of 20.2x; |
| Mylan has significant concentration risk its largest individual product, EpiPen®, which accounted for approximately 13% of revenues in 2014 and is estimated to account for more than 20% of Mylans adjusted EPS, is expected to encounter generic competition in calendar 2015; |
| Approximately 20% of Mylans 2014 revenues were derived from its declining Established Pharmaceuticals Division assets assets which generated a revenue CAGR of negative 9.4% between 2011 and 2014; and |
| Substantial shareholder overhang in Mylans stock from Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva), as well as a significant number of short-term, event-driven investors, who will likely seek to quickly liquidate their investment, placing meaningful downward pressure on Mylans equity price in the market. |
Mylan would destroy even more shareholder value if it does not acquire 80% of Perrigos Ordinary Shares a possibility that Mylan introduced when it reduced the threshold acceptance condition from 80% to 50%+. We believe that Mylans inability to reach the 80% threshold would have profound adverse consequences, including causing it to fall short of its own synergy promises, on a transaction that was already expected to be dilutive to Mylan adjusted EPS for at least three years.
Further, there would be adverse change of control consequences and risks under various commercial, debt and equity plans if Mylan succeeds in acquiring 50%+ of Perrigo risks that Mylan has chosen to downplay or ignore.
Finally, Mylans pursuit of Perrigo at all costs highlights a number of extraordinarily troubling corporate governance values, which would further erode Perrigos premium valuation in the marketplace and should give investors pause before placing their trust in the Mylan Board and management team. Mylan has a track record of operating against the best interests of shareholders. It has already gone so far as to threaten to delist Perrigo shares if it gains control of Perrigo, despite having no stated business purpose and without even the pretense of deliberations by a future Perrigo board to consider Perrigos best interests. We believe this threat is a scare tactic, and shows how little regard Mylan has for being a steward for shareholder interests.
ii
Mylan flaunted its bullet proof anti-takeover defenses in response to the recent offer by Teva to acquire Mylan, contributing to the destruction of approximately $14 billion in potential shareholder value creation and preventing shareholders from receiving a 48% acquisition premium. We believe that these anti-takeover measures and precedent of exceptionally shareholder-unfriendly behaviors speak volumes about the likelihood of Mylan shareholders ever realizing a takeover premium. By contrast, Perrigo is proud of its commitment to shareholder value creation and sound corporate governance; we are not opposed to any deal, just a bad deal.
The Perrigo Board unanimously believes that Mylans offer substantially undervalues the Companys current cash flows, business and financial platforms and future growth opportunities. It presents clear risks and would result in value destruction for shareholders, including forcing them into a corporate governance prison with extreme anti-shareholder provisions. The Perrigo Board is not alone in its belief that this transaction would be detrimental to shareholders, and numerous third parties, including leading proxy advisors, sell-side analysts, and credit ratings agencies have questioned the economic logic of this transaction.
For all of these reasons, which are discussed in greater detail in this document, your Board strongly and unequivocally recommends that you take NO ACTION with regard to Mylans offer. We encourage shareholders to refer to Perrigos website for ongoing updates concerning Mylans offer at http://www.perrigo.com/StandaloneValue.
Take No Action
Morgan Stanley is acting as independent financial advisor to the Perrigo Board in relation to the offer for the purposes of Rule 3 of the Irish Takeover Rules.
The Perrigo Board, based on its own assessment and the advice of Morgan Stanley, believes that Mylans offer fundamentally undervalues Perrigo. In providing advice to the Perrigo Board, Morgan Stanley has taken into account the commercial assessments of the Perrigo Board.
Accordingly, the Perrigo Board unanimously, and without reservation, recommends that you JUST SAY NO by taking no action. You should not sign any document or form of acceptance which Mylan or its advisors send to you. The members of the Perrigo Board do not intend to accept Mylans offer in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.
Yours sincerely,
Joseph C. Papa
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman

Offer
This Statement relates to the unsolicited offer by Mylan N.V., a Dutch public limited liability corporation (Mylan), to exchange each issued and outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Share for 2.3 of the ordinary shares, par value 0.01 per share, of Mylan (the Mylan Ordinary Shares), and $75.00 of cash (together with the 2.3 Mylan Ordinary Shares, the Offer Consideration), as disclosed in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with the exhibits thereto, the Schedule TO) filed by Mylan with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on September 14, 2015. Holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares whose shares are exchanged in the exchange offer will receive cash in lieu of any fractional Mylan Ordinary Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled. The exchange offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated September 14, 2015 and the related Letter of Transmittal. On May 5, 2015, Mylan also filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the Form S-4) in relation to the securities to be issued in connection with the exchange offer. The exchange offer and the value of the consideration offered thereby, together with all of the terms and conditions applicable to the exchange offer, is referred to in this Statement as the Offer. According to the Schedule TO, the Offer will expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 13, 2015, unless Mylan extends or earlier terminates the Offer.

Mylan has indicated that, if the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional and if despite Mylans lowering of the Offers acceptance condition from 80% to greater than 50% acceptances are received in respect of at least 80% of the Perrigo Ordinary Shares, Mylan intends to apply the provisions of Sections 456 to 460 of the Companies Act of 2014 of Ireland, to acquire compulsorily any outstanding Perrigo shares not acquired or agreed to be acquired pursuant to the Offer (the Compulsory Acquisition). On August 13, 2015, Mylan announced that it formally lowered the acceptance condition for its Offer from not less than 80% of Perrigo Ordinary Shares to greater than 50% of Perrigo Ordinary Shares. Mylan would not be able to avail itself of the Compulsory Acquisition process in Ireland unless and until it received, pursuant to the Offer, acceptances in respect of at least 80% of Perrigo Ordinary Shares within four months of the commencement of the Offer.
The Offer is subject to numerous conditions, which are described in Annex A attached hereto.
1
The Schedule TO states that the principal executive offices of Mylan are located at Building 4, Trident Place, Mosquito Way, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9UL United Kingdom and that the telephone number of its principal executive offices is +44 (0) 1707 853 000.

A copy of the press release relating to the recommendation of the Perrigo Board that Perrigos shareholders reject the Offer and not tender any of their Perrigo Ordinary Shares to Mylan pursuant to the Offer is filed as Exhibit (a)(1) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Background of the Offer and Reasons for Recommendation
Background of the Offer
In the spring of 2014, Joseph C. Papa, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Perrigo, and Robert J. Coury, Executive Chairman of Mylan, had a few informal and very high level discussions regarding the possibility of a combination between Perrigo and Mylan. The last of these conversations occurred in early June 2014. At that time, the parties were unable to come to terms on a non-disclosure agreement or basic organizational issues. No discussion related to valuation or the substantive terms of a potential agreement occurred, and the conversations did not lead to an agreement to engage in further or more detailed discussions.
On July 13, 2014, Mylan Inc., the predecessor of Mylan, entered into an agreement with Abbott Laboratories that provided for the acquisition by Mylan of Mylan Inc. and Abbotts non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business and the reorganization of the Mylan group in the Netherlands (the Mylan-Abbott Transaction). The Mylan-Abbott Transaction was consummated on February 27, 2015.
On March 10, 2015, Mylans share price closed at $55.305. Over the course of the day on March 11, several media outlets commented on rumors that Teva was planning to make an unsolicited proposal to acquire Mylan. On March 11, Mylans share price increased 6.7%, to a closing price of $59.00, while the S&P 500 fell 0.2%. The next day, Investors Business Daily wrote an article reflecting on the prior days trading activity entitled Mylan Climbs on Talk of Sale.
3
On March 30, 2015, Perrigo completed its previously announced acquisition of Omega Pharma in a cash and equity transaction valued at approximately 3.8 billion. Perrigo announced that it expected the transaction to be immediately accretive and between $0.10 and $0.20 accretive in fiscal 2015 adjusted earnings per share after adjusting for amortization, transaction and financing costs. In its press release, Perrigo explained that the transaction was beneficial for a number of reasons, including advancing Perrigos international growth strategy, strengthening its product portfolio while enhancing scale and distribution, expanding international management capabilities, and enhancing Perrigos financial profile through diversified revenue and cash flow streams.
On March 31, 2015, Mylan priced a secondary offering in which Abbott sold 35 million of the Mylan shares it acquired in the Mylan-Abbott Transaction at a price of $58.35 per share. The offering closed on April 6, 2015. On April 7, 2015, the underwriters of the offering delivered notice of their exercise of an option to purchase an additional 5.25 million shares. The sale of additional shares was completed on April 10, 2015.
On April 3, 2015, Mylan, absent approval from its shareholders, entered into a call option agreement (the Call Option Agreement) with Stichting Preferred Shares Mylan, a Dutch foundation (the Foundation). Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, Mylan granted the Foundation a call option allowing the Foundation to acquire from time to time, at an exercise price of 0.01 per share, Mylan preferred shares up to a maximum number at any time equal to the total number of Mylan Ordinary Shares issued at such time. As a result, the Foundation could, at any time and for consideration of 0.01 per share, acquire securities representing up to 50% of the total voting power of Mylan.
On April 6, 2015, Mr. Coury telephoned Mr. Papa and on behalf of Mylan made an unsolicited proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares for $205 per Perrigo Ordinary Share in an unspecified combination of cash and stock consideration (the Initial Proposal). Mr. Coury also delivered a letter to Mr. Papa, which described the purported benefits of the transaction.
Later on April 6, 2015, Mr. Coury again telephoned Mr. Papa. During the conversation, Mr. Coury requested a meeting with Mr. Papa to discuss a potential acquisition of Perrigo by Mylan, which Mr. Papa declined.
On April 8, 2015, Mylan issued a press release publicly announcing the Initial Proposal. Just prior to the announcement, Mr. Coury made a telephone call to Mr. Papa indicating that the press release would be issued.
Later on April 8, 2015, Perrigo issued a press release confirming that it had received the Initial Proposal and announcing that the Perrigo Board would meet to discuss the Initial Proposal and would make a further announcement when appropriate.
On April 11, 2015 the Perrigo Board had a telephonic meeting to receive an update on Mylans unsolicited proposal. Members of Perrigos management, as well as representatives from Morgan Stanley, Perrigos financial advisor, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and A&L Goodbody, Perrigos legal advisors, FTI Consulting Inc., Perrigos strategic communications advisors and Sard Verbinnen & Co, Perrigos public relations advisor, were present at the meeting.
Between April 11 and April 12, 2015, Mr. Papa and Mr. Coury exchanged e-mail correspondence, in which Mr. Coury requested to speak by telephone. Mr. Papa informed Mr. Coury that, consistent with the requirements of Perrigos Irish domicile, Mr. Papa was in the process of reviewing Mylans expression of interest with the Perrigo Board and Perrigo would be in a position to respond when the Perrigo Board deliberations were complete.
On April 13, 2015, Mylan filed a notification with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice indicating its intent to acquire 50% or more, and up to 100% of, the Perrigo Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR Act). That same day, Mylan issued a press release announcing that it had provided Perrigo with notice of this filing.
4
On April 17, 2015, in response to additional speculation that Teva would make a bid for Mylan, Mylan issued a press release in which Mr. Coury addressed the market rumors. In the press release, Mr. Coury publicly rejected the potential Teva bid before it had been made.
On April 20, 2015, the Perrigo Board held a special meeting to further discuss and evaluate the Initial Proposal with its advisors. At the meeting, the Perrigo Board unanimously rejected the Initial Proposal, concluding after a comprehensive review, conducted in consultation with certain members of its management and financial and legal advisors, that the Initial Proposal substantially undervalued Perrigo and was not in the best interests of Perrigo and its shareholders.
On April 21, 2015, Teva announced a proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of Mylan in a transaction composed of 50% cash and 50% stock valued at $82 per Mylan share (the Teva Proposal). Tevas news release described its proposal, which would provide Mylan stockholders with a 37.7% premium to Mylans stock price on April 7, the last date prior to its Perrigo proposal being made public; and a 48.3% premium to Mylans stock price on March 10, the last date prior to widespread public rumors of a potential bid by Teva for Mylan.
Also on April 21, 2015, Perrigo announced that the Perrigo Board had unanimously rejected the Initial Proposal. In its press release, Perrigo provided further details of the key factors that informed the determination, including that:
| The Proposal substantially undervalues Perrigos differentiated global business, including the Companys leading market position in key franchises, global distribution platform, and proven expertise in product development and supply chain management; |
| The Proposal would deny Perrigo shareholders the full benefits of Perrigos durable competitive position and compelling growth strategy, which is reflected in the Companys three-year organic net sales compound annual growth rate (CAGR) goal for calendar 2014 to 2017 of 5-10%; |
| The Proposal does not take into account the full benefits of the Omega Pharma acquisition, which closed on March 30, 2015, including additional value to be derived from synergies and increased global presence; and |
| The Proposal does not take into account Perrigos innovative new product pipeline, which is expected to generate nearly $1 billion in net sales over the next three years, excluding sizable upside from potential new indications for Tysabri®. |
On April 22, 2015, Teva filed a notification with the FTC and the Department of Justice indicating its intent to acquire Mylan, pursuant to HSR requirements.
On April 24, 2015, before the Mylan board of directors had met to discuss and evaluate the Teva Proposal, Mylan issued a public announcement of a firm intention to make an offer pursuant to Rule 2.5 of the Irish Takeover Rules. Under the terms of this unsolicited offer (Mylans April 24 Offer), Perrigo shareholders would receive $60 cash and 2.2 Mylan Ordinary Shares for each Perrigo Ordinary Share, subject to various conditions and terms. Perrigo shareholders would own approximately 38.2% of the outstanding Mylan Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis under the terms of Mylans April 24 Offer. Mylan further stated that it expected the combination to result in at least $800 million of annual pre-tax operational synergies by the end of year four following an acquisition.
On April 24, 2015, Perrigo issued a press release rejecting Mylans April 24 Offer and noted that the offers value was $181.67, given the unaffected price of $55.305 per Mylan share on March 10, 2015. The offer was lower than the initial proposal of $205 per ordinary share, which the Perrigo Board had already concluded significantly undervalued Perrigo and its future growth prospects.
On April 27, 2015, Mylan publicly rejected the Teva Proposal. Following this rejection, Teva reiterated its commitment to the proposal under the previously offered terms of $82 per share in an April 27, 2015 press release and April 29, 2015 letter from Mr. Vigodman to Mr. Coury.
5
On April 27, 2015, Mr. Papa received a letter from Mr. Coury requesting a meeting with Mr. Papa. Mr. Papa responded by explaining that the Perrigo Board had already considered Mylans unsolicited offer and that Perrigo did not see any reason for a meeting at that time.
On April 28 and 29, 2015, Perrigo held a regularly scheduled board meeting in Dublin, Ireland, attended by certain members of Perrigos management, as well as Perrigos legal and financial advisors, to discuss various corporate matters, including Mylans unsolicited offer.
On April 29, 2015, Mylan revised its offer to acquire the outstanding shares of Perrigo to $75 in cash and 2.3 Mylan Ordinary Shares for each Perrigo Ordinary Share.
Later on April 29, 2015, Perrigo issued a press release rejecting the Offer, noting that the Offers value was $202.20 based on Mylans unaffected March 10, 2015 price, which was lower than the initial proposal of $205 per ordinary share and which the Perrigo Board had already concluded significantly undervalued Perrigo and its future growth prospects.
On May 5, 2015, Mylan filed a registration statement on Form S-4 in anticipation of commencing an exchange offer based on the terms of the Offer. On May 6, 2015, Mylan filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A in anticipation of the extraordinary general meeting of Mylan shareholders to authorize the Perrigo transaction and the related share issuance.
On May 12, 2015, Mr. Papa received a text message from Heather Bresch, Chief Executive Officer of Mylan, requesting to speak about Mylans unsolicited offer. Mr. Papa responded indicating that the Perrigo Board had fully considered the Offer and that its response had been made public. Following Mr. Papas presentation at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Health Care Conference, Ms. Bresch approached Mr. Papa and had a brief discussion with him in which she requested a meeting. No meeting resulted from that request, beyond that conversation.
On June 9, 2015, Mr. Coury sent a text message to Mr. Papa requesting a meeting. Mr. Papa responded that the Perrigo Board had already considered Mylans unsolicited offer and that Perrigo did not see any reason for a meeting at that time.
On June 12, 2015, a representative of Goldman Sachs, Mylans financial advisor, called a representative of Morgan Stanley, Perrigos financial advisor, requesting a meeting to discuss the Offer. On June 13, 2015, the representative of Morgan Stanley responded via e-mail that the Perrigo Board had already considered Mylans unsolicited offer and that Perrigo did not see any reason for a meeting at that time.
On June 16, 2015, Abbott, holder of 14.2% of Mylans shares, issued a press release announcing that it would vote to approve the share issuance for the Perrigo transaction at Mylans upcoming extraordinary general meeting.
On July 6, 2015, Mylan distributed an investor presentation arguing, among other things, that Teva had no clear path to an acquisition of Mylan. In particular, the presentation emphasized a number of takeover defenses that Mylan planned to use to prevent the Teva Proposal from being consummated.
On July 23, 2015, the Foundation exercised the option for more than 488 million Mylan preferred shares. As a result, the Foundation holds 50% of the outstanding share capital and 50% of the voting power of Mylan. The Foundation issued a press release indicating that it planned to level the playing field in response to Tevas 4.6% voting stake by voting in favor of the Perrigo transaction at the upcoming meeting of Mylan shareholders.
On July 27, 2015, Teva announced that it had agreed to purchase the generic drug unit of Allergan plc for approximately $40.5 billion. As a result, Teva stated that it was withdrawing its proposal to acquire Mylan.
6
During the trading day following the Teva-Allergan announcement, Mylan shares fell by more than 14.5% from a closing price of $65.94 on the prior trading day to a closing price of $56.37. On March 10, 2015, the last date before widespread public rumors of a Teva bid for Mylan surfaced, the closing price of Mylan shares was $55.305.
Also on July 27, 2015, Mylan announced that the extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders to vote to authorize the Perrigo transaction and the related share issuance would be held on August 28, 2015.
On August 13, 2015, Mylan publicly announced that it would reduce its minimum threshold acceptance condition from 80% of Perrigos outstanding shares to a bare majority of Perrigos outstanding shares 50% plus one share.
On August 16, 2015, Mr. Papa received an e-mail from Mr. Coury requesting a meeting with Mr. Papa and the Perrigo Board. On August 17, 2015, Mr. Papa responded that the Perrigo Board had fully considered Mylans unsolicited offer and invitations to meet, and that it unanimously believed that the current offer was not a basis for discussion.
On August 28, 2015, Mylan shareholders authorized the Perrigo transaction and the related share issuance at its extraordinary general meeting. Approximately 51% of Mylans outstanding ordinary shares, representing 66% of the votes cast, voted in favor of the transaction.
On September 8, 2015, Mylan issued a press release announcing that it would commence the Offer on September 14, 2015. The press release included a letter from Mr. Coury addressed to Mr. Papa. On September 10, 2015, Perrigo issued a press release including a letter from Mr. Papa responding to Mr. Courys letter.
On September 14, 2015, Mylan filed a Schedule TO, commencing the Offer. Also on September 14, 2015, a registration statement on Form S-3 was filed, at Abbotts request, to allow Abbott to sell up to 69.75 million Mylan Ordinary Shares, representing Abbotts entire remaining stake and approximately 14.2% of Mylans Ordinary Shares outstanding.
On September 16, 2015, the Perrigo Board held a special meeting to evaluate the formal terms of the Offer with its advisors. At the meeting, Morgan Stanley rendered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing on September 16, 2015, to the Perrigo Board to the effect that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Morgan Stanley as set forth in its written opinion, the consideration proposed to be received by the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares (other than Mylan and its affiliates) pursuant to the Offer was inadequate from a financial point of view to such holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares. Morgan Stanleys opinion was not intended to, and does not, constitute advice or a recommendation as to whether or not any holder of Perrigo Ordinary Shares should tender such shares in connection with the Offer or take any other action with respect to the potential transactions to be effected pursuant to the Offer or the Offer. After a comprehensive review, conducted in consultation with certain members of its management and financial and legal advisors, the Perrigo Board unanimously determined that the Offer substantially undervalued Perrigo and was not in the best interests of Perrigo and its shareholders.
On September 17, 2015, Perrigo filed this Statement.
Reasons for Recommendation
The Perrigo Board has unanimously concluded that the Offer is not in the best interests of Perrigo and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board strongly advises shareholders to reject the Offer and not tender their Perrigo Ordinary Shares.
7
In reaching this conclusion and in making its recommendation, the Perrigo Board consulted with its financial and legal advisors and management and took into account numerous factors, including but not limited to the reasons summarized in the Chairmans letter above, and further described below.
(I) The Offer substantially undervalues Perrigo.
The Perrigo Board believes the Offer is grossly inadequate, offers a meager premium and does not reflect the strength of Perrigos business base, operations, and future growth opportunities. Perrigos standalone strategy has rewarded Perrigo shareholders with a total shareholder return of over 970% from the beginning of fiscal 2007, which Perrigo has achieved through a balanced contribution of organic and inorganic growth. In that time period Perrigo has successfully integrated 27 acquisitions with trailing twelve month net sales of more than $3.2 billion, all while maintaining relentless focus on return on invested capital. Simply stated, Perrigo has an outstanding track record of value creation, and a bright future as a durable, standalone company.
Mylans offer not only does not reflect Perrigos outstanding track record of value creation, it also undervalues Perrigos compelling prospects for continued growth and sustainable, long-term shareholder value through the execution of its Base Plus Plus Plus strategy, which consists of the following elements:
| Base: the durable global base business built on the Consumer Healthcare, Rx, and Specialty Science segments and innovative new product pipeline; |
| Base: the recently acquired Branded Consumer Healthcare segment comprised of Perrigos pan-European branded consumer platform, which is well-positioned to benefit from the attractive and growing European OTC market; |
| Plus: the opportunity to capitalize on future Rx-to-OTC switches; |
| Plus: the multiplier effect of an expansive pipeline of attractive global acquisition candidates; and |
| Plus: the additional upside from Tysabri® through an increasing royalty rate associated with potential new indications for additional treatments. |
The Perrigo Board is confident that through the strength of Perrigos base business and its promising inorganic growth opportunities, Perrigo is poised to deliver value well in excess of Mylans meager offer.
A. The Offer does not account for Perrigos differentiated global business, including its leading market position in key franchises, global consumer platform and proven expertise in product development and supply chain management.
| Perrigos base business has strategic advantages. Perrigos unique value proposition is embodied in its ability to consistently deliver Quality Affordable Healthcare Products® through outstanding execution from its employees across the globe. The Companys extensive consumer-facing portfolio, comprised of products with significant competitive advantages that constitute approximately 75% of total net sales, enables its durable competitive position in the marketplace as a proven partner for all retailers. Perrigo is a clear leader in store brand OTC pharmaceuticals in the U.S. and branded OTC pharmaceuticals in Europe, offering customers a unique retail approach through the support of a highly complex and integrated supply chain. The Company pairs its strengths of a leading manufacturer of quality pharmaceutical products and a fast-moving consumer goods company to provide retailers turn-key offerings to enable custom packaging, promotion and inventory management. The Perrigo Board believes this leadership position represents a competitive advantage and supports Perrigos base business. |
| Perrigo has demonstrated a reliable ability to grow organically. Perrigo has grown organic net sales at a 6% CAGR since fiscal 2008, and the Perrigo Board expects that by continuing its leading market position, Perrigos durable global base business will continue this trend and realize an organic net sales CAGR goal of 5-10% over the next three years. |
8
| Perrigo has a strong track record of operational success. Perrigos excellent operational performance is exemplified by strong financial results. From fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2015, Perrigo grew its net sales from $1.7B to $4.6B, its adjusted gross margin from 31.1% to 46.5%, its adjusted operating margin from 13.8% to 28.5%, and its cash flow from operations from $248M to $1,198M. Perrigos focus on gross and operating margin expansion has yielded a 5-year CAGR of 15% in net sales, 31% in operating cash flow and 10% in adjusted operating margin. |
| Perrigos innovative new product pipeline drives exceptional returns. Over the next three years, Perrigos new product launches are expected to generate $1 billion in net sales (not including new product launches from the Branded Consumer Healthcare segment). Perrigos Rx segment possesses the best pipeline in Perrigos history with greater than 30 product opportunities through calendar 2017, representing approximately $3.5 billion in brand sales. |
| Perrigos recent European acquisitions give it a unique global consumer platform to capitalize on growth opportunities. Perrigos recent acquisitions are the latest in a long line of seamless and accretive transactions that have helped drive Perrigos growth. With its March 30, 2015 closing of the acquisition of Omega Pharma, Perrigo expanded its global presence, becoming a top five global OTC company by revenue. The Omega Pharma acquisition is accretive to Perrigos organic growth profile and creates additional value derived from anticipated synergies of more than $125 million in adjusted gross profit in 2019 and from increased global scale. It adds market-leading brands and over 3,000 new products to Perrigos diversified portfolio, while promoting strategic engagement with winning customers and unique relationships with 211,000 pharmacists, 105,000 retail stores, and 3,900 para-pharmacies. |
The benefits of increased global scale are already evident. In the past four months, Perrigo has built on its newly-acquired pan-European consumer platform, seamlessly bolting-on three accretive transactions, including the acquisitions of several market leading brands from GlaxoSmithKline PLC as well as leading German dietary supplement Yokebe. These acquisitions will leverage the global commercial infrastructure and distinctive brand building capabilities of Omega Pharma and Perrigo, and demonstrate Perrigos unique positioning to capitalize on the growing $30 billion European OTC market opportunity.
| Perrigo has a significant commitment to important facilities throughout the world. Perrigo has an extensive global footprint and is committed to research and development and other activities in facilities throughout the world. For example, approximately 1,200 Perrigo employees making up almost 13% of Perrigos workforce are based in Israel. |
B. The Offer does not adequately compensate Perrigo shareholders for the significant upside of expected future prescription-to-OTC (Rx-to-OTC) switches and compelling prescription growth opportunities.
Perrigos proprietary long-term growth estimates include a greater than $29 billion market opportunity in potential Rx-to-OTC switches. Perrigo has a strong history of success with past Rx-to-OTC switches, allowing the company to increase consumer access to Quality Affordable Healthcare Products®.
C. The Offer does not reflect the benefits of Perrigos proven ability to generate value through identifying, executing and integrating attractive M&A opportunities.
Perrigo is fully committed to pursuing its strong pipeline of attractive global acquisition candidates, and its track record proves that it can successfully identify, execute and integrate strategic acquisitions. Perrigo currently has the deepest pipeline in its history, with opportunities to leverage its global footprint to expand its reach across geographies, markets and products.
D. The Offer undervalues the additional upside of potential new indications for Tysabri®.
Perrigos Specialty Sciences segment includes royalties from the branded drug Tysabri®, which is approved for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and Crohns disease and marketed by Biogen Inc. Perrigo receives an 18% royalty on the first $2 billion in global net sales of Tysabri® and a 25% royalty on global net sales above
9
$2 billion. Notable opportunities for Tysabri® include an increasing royalty rate as global net sales of Tysabri® approach $2 billion, favorable market dynamics, and sizeable upside from potential new indications for additional treatments including but not limited to Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, with Phase III data expected in calendar year 2015.
(II) The Offer is value destructive and the purported benefits are illusory.
The Offer represents the lowest premium to unaffected price of any biopharmaceutical transaction of more than $5 billion in aggregate value since the start of 2012. The Perrigo Board believes that this meager premium does not adequately compensate Perrigo shareholders for the strength of Perrigos durable business and the value destructive risks caused by the Offer.
A. The Offer will be dilutive to Mylans adjusted EPS.
Even by Mylans own estimates, it would take four years for the full amount of purported synergies to be realized, and the transaction would not be accretive to Mylans adjusted EPS until the fourth year after closing. Based on consensus net income estimates of Wall Street analysts for both companies and market rates for the permanent debt expected to be raised in connection with the transaction, the dilution in the first year would be in the double digits.
B. Mylans $800 million synergy target is overly optimistic.
The Perrigo Board believes that it will be challenging for Mylan to achieve its full synergy target. After accounting for the limited operational similarities between the two companies products, customers and distribution channels and Perrigos lean and efficient production and distribution model, the Perrigo Board believes that Mylan will face substantial difficulties in realizing its projected $800 million of synergies by the end of year four, if at all. If these synergy targets are missed, then the deal will be even more dilutive to adjusted EPS and more financially unattractive.
C. The change of control consequences of the Offer create significant risks.
| The Offer creates significant potential negative synergies. Supply agreements for products representing approximately $1 billion of net sales, or approximately 20% of Perrigos total net sales, contain change of control provisions that give the third-party supplier the option to terminate the relationship upon a change of control of Perrigo. If the Offer were consummated, these suppliers would have the option to exercise these termination rights, creating substantial uncertainty around the combined companys supplier relationships and potential retail supply disruption. Moreover, any divestitures that Mylan makes in connection with the transaction could result in even greater revenue loss. |
| The Offer creates risks under Perrigos debt. Perrigo has approximately $515 million of outstanding term loans and a $1 billion revolving credit facility that each have an event of default for changes of control that would be triggered upon Mylans acquisition of more than 50% of Perrigos equity in the Offer. The occurrence of this event of default would give Perrigos term lenders the right to immediately accelerate and declare due and payable all of such outstanding term loans. It would also cause an event of default under the revolving credit facility. |
In addition, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3,900 million of Perrigos outstanding senior notes (as of June 27, 2015) contains change of control provisions that would be triggered if (1) Mylan were to acquire a majority of Perrigo and (2) Perrigos notes were to suffer a rating downgrade to a level below investment grade from both Moodys and Standard & Poors Rating Services. If these provisions were triggered, Perrigo would be required to commence a change of control offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
10
These consequences could place substantial liquidity demands on Perrigo, and Mylan has nowhere sought to quantify the impact of these risks.
(III) Mylans business model and prospects create significant risks and uncertainties for Perrigo shareholders.
Approximately two-thirds of Mylans proposed consideration consists of Mylan shares, which the Perrigo Board believes will face negative pressure going forward. In fact, Mylans largest shareholder, Abbott, has expressed its views of Mylans future by registering all of its shares for sale.
If the Offer were consummated, then Perrigo shareholders would own a significant stake in a slower-growth and riskier business, resulting in multiple contraction for the combined company relative to Perrigo and reduced value for Perrigo shareholders.
A. A combination with Mylan will negatively affect Perrigos superior growth profile and valuation.
Mylans growth profile has historically been inferior to Perrigos. From the fiscal year ending December 2008 through the fiscal year ending December 2014, Mylans adjusted revenue has grown at a CAGR of just 8.7%, a substantially lower rate than Perrigos 15.3% over the fiscal year ending June 2008 through the fiscal year ending June 2014. Consensus Wall Street forecasts suggest that analysts expect this trend to continue. Over the next four years, Wall Street consensus estimates are that Mylans revenue and operating income will have CAGRs of just 4.1% and 5.6%. Consensus estimates for Perrigo significantly outpace those for Mylan, with revenue growth at a 6.5% CAGR and operating income at an 8.5% CAGR.
Mylans adjusted EPS multiples have also been consistently inferior to Perrigos. Mylans historical three-year average share price to next twelve months adjusted EPS multiple is 10.6x, barely more than half of Perrigos 20.2x. Perrigo has earned its premium valuation based on the strength of its high growth, durable businesses, leading market position, high quality products, proven management track record and significant face to consumers. The Perrigo Board believes that if the Offer were consummated, then Perrigo shareholders would own a significant stake in a slower-growth and riskier business, resulting in multiple contraction for the combined company relative to Perrigo and reduced value for Perrigo shareholders. In short, the Perrigo Board believes that Mylans inferior growth profile and valuation would drag down what Perrigo stands to achieve on its own.
B. Mylans business faces significant concentration, growth, competitive and regulatory risks.
The Perrigo Board believes that Mylans business model faces substantial uncertainty due to a variety of risks. For example:
| Mylan has significant concentration risk its largest individual product, EpiPen®, which accounts for approximately 13% of revenues in 2014 and is estimated to account for more than 20% of Mylans adjusted EPS, is expected to encounter generic competition in calendar 2015. |
| As a result of Mylans acquisition of Abbotts Established Products portfolio, approximately 20% of its 2014 revenues were derived from a portfolio of products that declined at a CAGR of 9.4% between 2011 and 2014. Since these assets were declining at almost 10% in the hands of a well-run organization like Abbott, the Perrigo Board believes that this precipitous decrease will only continue in the hands of Mylan, with negative consequences for the combined company. |
| Compared to Perrigos extensive new product pipeline which includes $1 billion in new product launches expected over the next three years, excluding the Branded Consumer Healthcare segment, the Perrigo Board believes that Mylans future growth largely depends on two key new generic product launches: Copaxone®, and Advair®. The risks of this concentrated strategy are already apparent, as a |
11
competing generic version of Copaxone® has been launched into the market, thereby limiting potential net sales to Mylan. The Perrigo Board believes that there are substantial product concentration risks with respect to Mylans pipeline. |
| Mylan faces intensifying regulatory and safety concerns at its production facilities. On August 6, 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Mylan concerning safety violations at three of its Indian production facilities. The FDA concluded that these violations were recurrent and longstanding, and according to at least one media report, some industry observers have expressed surprise that these significant violations have not warranted an import alert or ban to the U.S. |
C. Mylans share price faces substantial downward pressure because Mylan has large shareholders expected to liquidate their investments in the short-term.
As a result of the Mylan-Abbott Transaction, Abbott acquired approximately 22% of Mylans ordinary shares. After selling down a portion of its position, Abbott still owns approximately 14.2% of Mylans Ordinary Shares. Abbott CEO Miles White publicly stated on July 22, 2015 that We [Abbott] dont have [an] intention long-term of being shareholders in Mylan, and Abbott is following through on this intention: a registration statement has been filed at Abbotts request to allow Abbott to sell all its Mylan shares. Similarly, as part of its strategy to acquire Mylan, Teva owns 4.6% of Mylans shares. Now that Teva has agreed to acquire Allergans generics business, the Perrigo Board believes it is highly unlikely that Teva will continue to hold Mylan shares and that Abbott and Teva, who between them control 18.8% of Mylans shares, will look to sell their Mylan shares in the near future. This is in addition to the Mylan shares likely to be sold by a significant number of short-term, event-driven investors. The Perrigo Board believes that this overhang would add substantial downward pressure to Mylans equity price in the market, reducing the value of the consideration Perrigo shareholders will receive.
(IV) The acquisition will destroy even more shareholder value if Mylan does not acquire 80% of the Perrigo Ordinary Shares.
Mylan would destroy even more shareholder value if it does not acquire 80% of Perrigos Ordinary Shares a possibility that Mylan introduced when it reduced the acceptance threshold from 80% to 50%+. The Perrigo Board believes that Mylans inability to reach the 80% threshold would have profound adverse consequences with a potentially disastrous impact to debt and equity holders of both companies.
A. The Perrigo Board believes that Mylan will not have a rational path to a full acquisition of Perrigo.
If Mylan consummates the Offer (including a subsequent offer period) without having received acceptances in respect of 80% of outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares, the Perrigo Board believes Mylan will face difficulty in acquiring full ownership of Perrigo. In that case, Mylan will not be able to acquire 100% control of Perrigo pursuant to the Compulsory Acquisition process described in the Offer. While Mylan will need to entice a supermajority of those remaining Perrigo shareholders to tender their shares in order to take advantage of the Compulsory Acquisition process, the Perrigo Board believes Mylan will be unsuccessful because:
| Mylan cannot make an improved offer for the remaining Perrigo shares for a full 6 months after the Offer becomes unconditional; |
| Irish law restricts Mylan from acquiring any of the remaining shares in that 6-month period at a price higher than the Offer or on terms more favorable than the terms of the Offer; |
| any future offer for the remaining shares will require acceptances of 80% of the shares of the non-Mylan holders, representing a majority in number of such shareholders (i.e., shares acquired by Mylan in the open market or otherwise would not count towards the 80% threshold); and |
| a scheme of arrangement would require approval by 75% of non-Mylan shares voting, representing a majority in number of such shareholders (i.e., shares acquired by Mylan in the open market or otherwise would not count towards the 75% threshold). |
12
In fact, Mylan itself has stated that if it does not receive acceptances in respect of 80% of the outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares in the Offer, it will evaluate whether it will seek to acquire the remaining portion of Perrigo Ordinary Shares or whether it will operate Perrigo as a controlled subsidiary (with or without public float) for the foreseeable future.
The Perrigo Board believes that not only does this difficult path lead to adverse financial and operational consequences, it is indicative of a value-destructive management style. Mylans willingness to risk the negative consequences of closing the Offer without being able to fully acquire Perrigo further demonstrates Mylans reckless disregard for shareholder value.
B. The promised synergy realization will fail.
Mylans synergy claims are not credible.
The Perrigo Board believes that Mylan cannot achieve the same synergies on the same timeline if it closes the Offer and fails to reach the 80% threshold. While Mylan would like shareholders to believe it can achieve the exact same synergies regardless of whether Perrigo is a 100%-owned subsidiary with no minority shareholders or a controlled subsidiary with minority shareholders, this is simply not credible, as evidenced by the assessments of numerous third-party observers, discussed below.
Though Mylan has sought to analogize to its experience acquiring Matrix Laboratories Limited a company in which Mylan made a sub-$1 billion investment with target board support and which was governed by Indian law the Perrigo Board does not believe the situation is analogous. The Perrigo Board believes that Irish company law is protective of minority shareholders, to whom fiduciary duties would be owed by the board of Perrigo, including through support for arms length dealing and the ability to bring oppression actions. Mylan would also be constrained by Irish legal prohibitions against financial assistance by a company for the purchase of its own shares, and requirements as to distributions. The Perrigo Board believes that integrating a small-supply chain focused acquisition in India is not comparable to, and orders of magnitude less complex than, the potential integration of Perrigo under the Irish legal regime.
The Perrigo Board believes that the value of any expected synergies to Perrigo shareholders who receive Mylan shares pursuant to the Offer would be even further diminished if Mylan does not control 100% of Perrigo because the value of such synergies would not accrue entirely to Mylan, but would rather have to be allocated between Mylan and Perrigo. Mylan itself has stated in its proxy statement that Mylan shareholders may not realize the full financial benefits of operational synergies as certain of these financial benefits may be shared by the minority shareholders of Perrigo.
The Perrigo Boards assessment of synergies is echoed by several third parties and by Mylan itself.
The Perrigo Board is not alone in believing that Mylans consummation of the Offer without having received acceptances in respect of 80% of the outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares would destroy value. Following the reduction of the acceptance condition, several third parties have expressed similar views:
| Moodys worsened its assessment of Mylan. As it stated in its August 15, 2015 report entitled Mylans Lowered Acceptance Condition on Perrigo Offer is Credit Negative, the lowering of the acceptance condition raises the possibility of a long, drawn out process that could continue indefinitely, and there are questions about how the two companies could be integrated and if Mylan would be able to fully realize the synergies that it believes could be achieved with the combination of the two companies. Moodys also noted that if the change of control provisions in Perrigos debt were triggered, Mylan would then need to raise more debt in order to complete the transaction, potentially raising its overall cost of financing. |
| Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), in recommending on August 14, 2015 that Mylan shareholders vote against the transaction, noted that failure to reach the 80% threshold could |
13
complicate [Mylans] ability to completely integrate the target company, make full use of the combined companys free cash flow, etc. |
| Proxy Mosaic, in its August 18, 2015 report, echoed these sentiments by describing the scenario where Mylan acquires more than 50% but less than 80% of Perrigo as a situation where [Mylan] cannot effectuate even the most basic synergies, such as getting rid of duplicative corporate staff, manufacturing rationalization, pooling of cash, or intra-company transactions. Proxy Mosaic described the prospect of having a roughly $30 billion company as a majority-owned vassal state subsidiary would completely undermine the strategic benefits of the acquisition. |
Even Mylan itself has stated that depending on the percentage of outstanding Perrigo ordinary shares acquired, it may take longer and be more difficult to complete any post-closing restructuring, and the full amount of the expected operational and other synergies identified for Mylan may not be obtained or may only be obtained over a longer period of time.
C. Mylan has threatened to delist Perrigo shares from the NYSE and TASE without any stated business justification.
Mylan has threatened to voluntarily delist Perrigo shares from the NYSE and TASE after taking control of the Perrigo Board if it closes the Offer but fails to reach the 80% threshold. The Perrigo Board believes that such action would likely have serious legal ramifications and that this thinly veiled threat is nothing more than a tactic intended to coerce Perrigo shareholders into tendering into the Offer by instilling fear of the consequences of not tendering.
D. Mylan has failed to disclose its plans for Perrigo.
Mylan has publicly stated that it has not yet formulated detailed plans for realizing operational synergies if it closes the Offer below 80%. The Perrigo Board believes that this near complete lack of disclosure regarding plans with respect to Perrigo, its management, employees and assets (other than its intent to take over the Perrigo Board) causes Perrigos shareholders to be faced with the coercive and unacceptable choice between tendering their shares in connection with an unsolicited offer that substantially undervalues Perrigo or confronting the unknown consequences of remaining shareholders in a company controlled by Mylan.
E. Closing the Offer below 80% will have additional adverse consequences.
In addition to the adverse consequences discussed above, the Perrigo Board believes that closing the offer below 80% will have the following consequences:
| Production Costs. The Perrigo Board believes that Mylan would be limited in its ability to achieve synergies through vertical integration and manufacturing rationalization or combining sales infrastructure, as Perrigo would continue to operate as a separate company with minority shareholders to whom fiduciary duties would be owed. |
| Arms Length Transaction Requirements. Transactions between Mylan and Perrigo would effectively have to occur on an arms length basis in order for Mylan to satisfy its fiduciary obligations to the minority Perrigo shareholders. Therefore, Mylan would have to pay Perrigo full market prices to get the benefit of any cost or other advantages Perrigo may have relative to other market participants. |
| Tax Grouping. Holding less than 75% of Perrigo means that Mylan and Perrigo would not be grouped for certain Irish tax purposes which could, for example, limit the ability of Mylan to transfer assets across the group without triggering charges to Irish capital gains tax. |
| Compensation Expenses. Because vesting of all of Perrigos outstanding stock options and restricted stock units would accelerate upon consummation of the Offer due to change in control provisions in Perrigos equity-based compensation plans, the ongoing compensation arrangements for Perrigo |
employees would fail to meet market standards. Thus, to keep key Perrigo employees, Perrigo would have to grant additional equity compensation awards. |
14
(V) Mylans governance values undermine shareholders rights and would further erode Perrigos premium valuation.
The Perrigo Board has major concerns with respect to Mylans corporate governance and management style and believes that Mylans track record of operating against the best interests of shareholders causes Mylan to trade with what at least one analyst has labeled a corporate governance discount. The Perrigo Board agrees with a third-party experts assessment that Mylans anti-takeover measures and precedent of exceptionally shareholder-unfriendly behaviors make it unlikely that Mylan shareholders will ever realize the value creation potential of a takeover premium. By contrast, Perrigo is committed to the interests of its shareholders and is not opposed to any deal that creates shareholder value.
A. Mylans response to the Teva proposal indicates how its management abuses its governance structure at the expense of shareholders.
The Perrigo Board believes that Mylans flaunting of its anti-takeover defenses in a response to Tevas recent offer to acquire Mylan evidences the harmful practical effects of Mylans governance structure. By putting stakeholders ahead of shareholders, Mylans management contributed to the destruction of approximately $14 billion in potential shareholder value creation and prevented shareholders from receiving a 48.3% acquisition premium. Analyst reports indicate that Mylan management could not be clearer that it was not working primarily for its shareholders, and that Mylans strategy was to put shareholders who preferred a Teva deal over a Perrigo deal in what Mylan called a tough place by making it abundantly clear that it would go to extremes to prevent a Teva deal. In the Perrigo Boards view, Mylan management took a number of actions that indicate it has minimal concern for the interests of its shareholders, including:
| entering into anti-takeover arrangements with the Foundation, by issuing to the Foundation a call option for 50% of the outstanding share capital and voting power of Mylan without first receiving shareholder approval, which the Perrigo Board believes violated Nasdaq rules; |
| bragging about the anti-takeover provisions of Mylans governance documents and Dutch law that severely restrict the power of shareholders to elect and dismiss directors, including: |
| even if shareholders remove the entire board, new directors can only be appointed upon nomination by the former chairman; |
| shareholders do not have any formal power to nominate their own candidates, rather the composition of a new board fully depends on nominations made by the former chairman; |
| Dutch law requires a 95% squeeze-out threshold in tender offers, meaning the threshold for a successful takeover bid is very high. |
| issuing a rejection of the Teva Proposal before the proposal was even made; |
| following the making of the Teva Proposal and before having its board evaluate the Teva Proposal, announcing Mylans legally binding firm commitment to make an offer for Perrigo; and |
| threatening to delay a shareholder proposed special meeting by 180 days, before even having received a meeting request. |
The Perrigo Board believes that these flagrant actions are a major reason why Mylan trades at a discount to its peers. As demonstrated by the withdrawal of Tevas offer to acquire Mylan, in the Perrigo Boards view, these anti-takeover arrangements are likely to discourage strategic interest in Mylan and, consequently, deprive Mylan shareholders of the opportunity to receive a takeover premium.
B. Third-party governance experts have repeatedly criticized Mylans governance practices.
The Perrigo Board is not alone in its assessment of Mylans governance values. Mylans governance structure is widely recognized as being unfriendly to shareholders. ISS has given Mylan the worst possible
15
governance score in each of the last two years. Recommending on August 14, 2015 that Mylan shareholders vote against the proposed acquisition, ISS commented on Mylans persistent rhetoric that shareholders are just another set of stakeholders, for Mylan, and stated that the Offer only makes sense so long as you are one of those stakeholders who is not an owner of [Mylan].
C. Mylans executive compensation structure provides the wrong incentives for management.
Both ISS and Glass Lewis have criticized Mylan for its excessive compensation structure, questionable one-off bonus payments, and use of excise tax gross-ups for non-executive officers. Mylans Executive Chairman and CEO structure causes two executives to be paid like CEOs, with combined compensation for Mr. Coury and Ms. Bresch amounting to more than $26 million in 2014. ISS has described Mr. Courys cash retention bonus as a pay for failure package if performance is not sustained. Mylans board has three current employees and a history of related party transactions. It was recently criticized in high-profile media reports for undisclosed related party transactions with its lead independent director.
(VI) The Perrigo Board has received an inadequacy opinion from Morgan Stanley.
The Perrigo Board retained Morgan Stanley to act as it financial advisor and to provide it with a financial opinion in connection with the Offer. At the meeting of the Perrigo Board on September 16, 2015, Morgan Stanley rendered its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing on September 16, 2015, to the Perrigo Board to the effect that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and qualifications and limitations on the scope of review undertaken by Morgan Stanley as set forth in its written opinion, the consideration proposed to be received by the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares (other than Mylan and its affiliates) pursuant to the Offer was inadequate from a financial point of view to such holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares.
The full text of Morgan Stanleys written opinion to the Perrigo Board dated September 16, 2015, which sets forth among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by Morgan Stanley in rendering its opinion, is attached as Annex B. You are encouraged to read Morgan Stanleys opinion carefully and in its entirety. Morgan Stanleys opinion was for the benefit of the Perrigo Board, in its capacity as such, and addressed only the inadequacy from a financial point of view of the consideration proposed to be received by the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares (other than Mylan and its affiliates) pursuant to the Offer as of the date of the opinion and did not address any other aspects or implications of the Offer. Morgan Stanleys opinion was not intended to, and does not, constitute advice or a recommendation as to whether or not any holder of Perrigo Ordinary Shares should tender such shares in connection with the Offer or take any other action with respect to the Offer or the potential transactions to be effected pursuant to the Offer.
* * * * *
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Perrigo Board is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information, factors and analyses considered by the Perrigo Board in reaching its conclusions and recommendations. The members of the Perrigo Board evaluated the various factors listed above in light of their knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of Perrigo and considered the advice of the Perrigo Boards financial and legal advisors. In light of the number and variety of factors that the Perrigo Board considered, the members of the Perrigo Board did not find it practicable to assign relative weights to the foregoing factors. However, the recommendation of the Perrigo Board was made after carefully considering the totality of the information and factors involved. In addition, individual members of the Perrigo Board may have given different weight to different factors.
In light of the factors described above, the Perrigo Board, on behalf of Perrigo, has unanimously determined that the Offer is not in the best interests of Perrigos shareholders. Therefore, the Perrigo Board unanimously recommends that Perrigo shareholders reject the Offer and NOT tender any of their shares to Mylan for exchange pursuant to the Offer.

To the knowledge of Perrigo after making reasonable inquiry, none of Perrigos directors, executive officers, affiliates or subsidiaries intends to tender any Perrigo Ordinary Shares held of record or beneficially owned by such person pursuant to the Offer.

Item 7. | Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals |
For the reasons discussed in Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation Reasons for Recommendation above, the Perrigo Board unanimously determined that the Offer is not in the best interests of Perrigo and its shareholders.
Perrigo periodically engages with third parties, including other participants in its industry, regarding a wide range of potential business transactions. It has not ceased, and expects that it may continue, such activity during the pendency of the Offer. Consistent with this, Perrigo has explored and will continue to explore (including by engaging in discussions, due diligence and negotiations) potential transactions, which may include the purchase or sale of material businesses or assets or business combination transactions. Perrigos policy has been, and continues to be, not to disclose the existence or content of any discussions or negotiations with third parties (except as may be required by law) as any such disclosure could jeopardize any negotiations that Perrigo may conduct.
Except as described in the preceding paragraph or otherwise set forth in this Statement (including in the Exhibits to this Statement) or as incorporated in this Statement by reference, Perrigo is not currently undertaking nor engaged in any negotiations in response to the Offer that relate to, or would result in, (i) a tender offer for, or other acquisition of, Perrigo Ordinary Shares by Perrigo, any of its subsidiaries, or any other person; (ii) any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation, involving Perrigo or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any purchase, sale, or transfer of a material amount of assets of Perrigo or any of its subsidiaries; or (iv) any material change in the present dividend rate or policy, or indebtedness or capitalization, of Perrigo.
Except as described above or otherwise set forth in this Statement (including in the Exhibits to this Statement) or as incorporated in this Statement by reference, there are no transactions, resolutions of the Perrigo Board, agreements in principle, or signed contracts in response to the Offer that relate to, or would result in, one or more of the events referred to in the preceding paragraph.
Item 8. | Additional Information |
Consideration Payable Pursuant to the Offer
Perrigo Ordinary Shares Held by the Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers of Perrigo
If the non-employee directors and executive officers of Perrigo were to tender any Perrigo Ordinary Shares they own pursuant to the Offer and such shares were accepted for exchange by Mylan, they would receive Mylan Ordinary Shares and cash on the same terms and conditions as the other Perrigo shareholders. As of September 11, 2015, the 10 non-employee directors and 13 executive officers of Perrigo held an aggregate of 6,112,878 Perrigo Ordinary Shares, excluding shares held through certain compensatory plans of Perrigo (as described below). If the non-employee directors and executive officers of Perrigo were to tender all of such Perrigo Ordinary Shares for exchange pursuant to the Offer and those Perrigo Ordinary Shares were accepted by Mylan in exchange for the Offer Consideration, the non-employee directors and executive officers of Perrigo would receive an aggregate of 14,059,620 Mylan Ordinary Shares and $458,465,850 of cash. To the knowledge of Perrigo, none of the non-employee directors or executive officers of Perrigo currently intend to tender any Perrigo Ordinary Shares held of record or beneficially owned by such person for exchange pursuant to the Offer.
In addition, as of September 11, 2015, the 10 non-employee directors and 13 executive officers of Perrigo held an aggregate of 6,513 Perrigo Ordinary Shares through Perrigos Profit-Sharing and Investment Plan. Assuming that the Offer had been completed and the Compulsory Acquisition had been consummated on September 11, 2015, such shares would be exchanged for 14,980 Mylan Ordinary Shares and $488,471 of cash. The Perrigo Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (and amendments thereto) are filed as Exhibits (e)(9), (e)(10), (e)(11), (e)(12) and (e)(13) to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
18
Equity-Based Awards Held by the Non-Employee Directors and Executive Officers of Perrigo
As of September 11, 2015, each of the 10 non-employee directors and 13 executive officers of Perrigo held equity awards issued pursuant to the Perrigo 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Perrigo 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan and/or the Perrigo 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which are filed (including amendments and award agreements thereunder) as Exhibits (e)(3) through (e)(8), (e)(14) through (e)(24) and (e)(34) to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the LTIP Plans). As described further below, under the LTIP Plans, consummation of the Offer would constitute a change in control of Perrigo, and upon a change in control of Perrigo, all unvested Perrigo equity awards, including those held by the executive officers and non-employee directors of Perrigo, would vest in full.
Stock Options
As of September 11, 2015, the 10 non-employee directors and 13 executive officers of Perrigo held stock options to purchase an aggregate of 549,504 Perrigo Ordinary Shares, with exercise prices ranging from $16.77 to $147.75 and an aggregate weighted average exercise price of $100.47 per share, 436,887 of which were vested and exercisable as of that date. Upon a change in control of Perrigo, all unvested outstanding stock options would become fully exercisable. Assuming that the Offer had been completed on September 11, 2015 and a price per Perrigo Ordinary Share of $187.10 (the average closing price of Perrigo Ordinary Shares on the five business days following April 29, 2015, the date Mylan announced the Offer), the aggregate value of stock subject to all outstanding stock options held as of such date by the directors and executive officers (less the aggregate weighted average exercise price) is $47,603,532.
Time-Vesting Restricted Stock Units
As of September 11, 2015, the 13 executive officers of Perrigo held time-vesting restricted stock units (RSUs) in respect of an aggregate of 129,161 Perrigo Ordinary Shares, all of which were unvested. The non-employee directors do not hold RSUs. Upon a change in control of Perrigo, all outstanding RSUs would become fully vested. Assuming that the Offer had been completed on September 11, 2015 and a price per Perrigo Ordinary Share of $187.10, the aggregate value of all outstanding RSUs held as of such date by the executive officers that would become vested as a result thereof is $24,166,023.
Performance-Vesting Restricted Stock Units
As of September 11, 2015, the 13 executive officers of Perrigo held performance-vesting restricted stock units (PSUs) in respect of an aggregate of 176,538 Perrigo Ordinary Shares (assuming satisfaction of performance goals at target levels), all of which were unvested. The non-employee directors do not hold PSUs. Upon a change in control of Perrigo, all outstanding PSUs would become fully vested, with performance goals deemed satisfied at target levels. Assuming that the Offer had been completed on September 11, 2015 and a price per Perrigo Ordinary Share of $187.10, the aggregate value of all outstanding PSUs held as of such date by the executive officers that would become vested as a result thereof is $33,030,260.
19
Non-Employee Directors Compensation
Under the Perrigo director compensation program, only directors who are not employees of Perrigo receive compensation for their services as directors, as follows:

Perrigos non-employee directors also receive annual equity awards in the form of restricted stock units vesting one year after the grant date. These grants are made pursuant to Perrigos shareholder-approved 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and are intended to directly link an element of director compensation to shareholders interests. In fiscal 2015, Perrigos non-employee directors received equity awards in the form of restricted stock units having a value of approximately $300,000. The grant date for the equity portion of the directors compensation was the fifth trading day after the day on which the Company publicly released its first quarter earnings.
Historically, Perrigos non-employee directors have received annual equity awards in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and options vesting on the date of the first annual general meeting after the grant date.
In addition to the amounts shown above, non-employee directors receive compensation of $1,000 per day for activities requiring travel in furtherance of Board or Perrigo business (other than to and from regularly scheduled Perrigo Board and committee meetings). We also reimburse directors for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending Perrigo Board and committee meetings and participating in other Perrigo Board or Perrigo business.
Non-employee directors also receive a travel stipend to compensate them for the time spent traveling to attend board meetings in other countries at rate of $10,000 per international trip.
Information Regarding Specified Compensation
Perrigo maintains benefit plans and other arrangements that provide enhanced benefits and other rights to Perrigos named executive officers upon a change in control (which would include consummation of the Offer) or a qualifying termination of employment thereafter. These enhanced benefits and other rights are discussed below.
Equity Incentive Awards
The consummation of a change in control would result in automatic and immediate vesting of all awards outstanding under the LTIP Plans at such time. For performance-vesting awards, applicable performance conditions would be deemed satisfied at target levels. As of September 11, 2015, Perrigo had outstanding stock options, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock awards under its LTIP Plans, although none of the named executive officers held restricted stock awards.
20
Employment Agreement with Joseph C. Papa
Perrigo is a party to an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer, Joseph C. Papa. Under Mr. Papas employment agreement, upon a termination of employment by Perrigo without cause or by Mr. Papa for good reason, subject to the execution of a release of claims, Mr. Papa would be entitled to (a) a severance payment equal to 24 months of base salary and target bonus, payable in installments over 24 months, (b) continued vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards for 24 months from the date of termination (which options would remain exercisable until the 25th month following the date of termination), with any performance conditions determined based on actual performance and (c) a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination, determined based on actual performance. In consideration for the foregoing severance benefits, Mr. Papa has agreed to abide by certain restrictive covenants, including a two-year post-termination noncompete and a one-year post-termination employee nonsolicit. The employment agreement is filed as Exhibit (e)(25) to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
Severance Policy
Perrigo maintains a broad-based severance policy for its employees, including the named executive officers (other than Mr. Papa). Under the severance policy, upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the applicable named executive officer for good reason, the named executive officers (other than Mr. Papa) would be entitled to (a) 52 weeks of base salary, (b) a waiver of the COBRA premiums for medical, dental and vision insurance for 52 weeks, and a reimbursement of the portion of such premiums that would ordinarily be paid by the Company for active employees during the remainder of the COBRA continuation period, (c) a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination, determined based on actual performance, and (d) career transition assistance. To receive a waiver of COBRA premiums for 52 weeks and a reimbursement of COBRA premiums through the remainder of the COBRA continuation period, the named executive officer must be a participant in the Companys health insurance plan. Judy Brown is not currently eligible for the COBRA premiums waiver and reimbursement. The severance policy is filed as Exhibit (e)(32) to this Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Deferred Compensation Plan
Perrigo maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of employees and other managers, including the named executive officers. Under the plan, upon a change in control, participants will become automatically and immediately vested in their company contribution account and company matching account. In addition, if the plan is terminated within 30 days preceding, or 12 months following, a change in control, Perrigo will be required to pay all benefits under the plan in a lump sum within 12 months of the change in control, notwithstanding any installment payment elections made by a participant.
Quantification of Potential Payments to Perrigos Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Offer
The information set forth in the table below is intended to comply with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, which requires disclosures of information about certain compensation for each of Perrigos named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Offer and assumes, among other things, that the Offer is consummated and that the named executive officers will incur a severance-qualifying termination of employment immediately thereafter.
The amounts indicated below are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including assumptions described below, and do not reflect certain compensation actions that may occur before the consummation of the Offer. For purposes of calculating such amounts, we have assumed:
| September 11, 2015 as the date on which the Offer is consummated, and |
21
| a termination of each named executive officers employment by Perrigo without cause or by the applicable named executive officer for good reason immediately following consummation of the Offer. |

(1) | The cash amount payable to the named executive officers consists of the following components: |
(a) | A cash severance payment equal to (i) for Mr. Papa, 24 months of base salary and target bonus, payable in installments over 24 months, and (ii) for the other named executive officers, 52 weeks of base salary, payable in installments over 52 weeks; and |
(b) | a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination, determined based on actual performance and payable at the time bonuses are paid to other participants in Perrigos Management Incentive Bonus Plan. For purposes of this table, performance is assumed to be satisfied at target levels. |
All components of the cash amount are double-trigger (i.e., they are contingent upon a qualifying termination of employment following the consummation of the mergers).

Judy Brown is not currently eligible for the COBRA premiums waiver and reimbursement, as she is not currently a participant in the Companys health insurance plan. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Each director and executive officer of Perrigo enters into an indemnity agreement (the Irish Indemnity Agreement) with Perrigo. Under the Irish Indemnity Agreement and subject to the provisions of and so far as may be admitted by the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland (the Companies Act), every director and the secretary of Perrigo shall be entitled to be indemnified by Perrigo against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of Perrigo and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.
Pursuant to the Irish Indemnity Agreement, as far as is permissible under the Companies Act, Perrigo shall indemnify any current or former executive officer of Perrigo (excluding any present or former directors of Perrigo or secretary of Perrigo), or any person who is serving or has served at the request of Perrigo as a director or executive officer of another company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including any Perrigo subsidiary (each individually, a Covered Person), against any expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which he or she was, is, or is threatened to be made a party, or is otherwise involved (a proceeding), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Covered Person; provided, however, that this provision shall not indemnify any Covered Person against any liability arising out of (a) any fraud or dishonesty in the performance of such Covered Persons duty to Perrigo, or (b) such Covered Partys conscious, intentional or willful breach of the obligation to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Perrigo.
Irish company law places certain restrictions on a company providing indemnification to any of its directors or the secretary. In particular, the Companies Act provides that any provision that purports to exempt a director from liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company is void. Accordingly, an Irish company may only indemnify its directors or secretary if the indemnified party receives a favorable judgment in respect of the liability, or where an Irish court determines that the director or the secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused, or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on the part of the director or secretary, or in which he/she is acquitted. This restriction does not prevent an Irish company from purchasing director and officer liability insurance and the restriction in the Companies Act does not apply to executives who are not directors or the secretary of the relevant company.
In addition, each director and executive officer of Perrigo enters into an indemnity agreement (the Michigan Indemnity Agreement) with Perrigo Company (the Michigan Entity), a Michigan corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perrigo. Under the Michigan Indemnity Agreement, the Michigan Entity is obligated to indemnify Perrigos directors and executive officers to the full extent permitted under Michigan Business Corporation Act (the MBCA). Under Sections 561 through 571 of the MBCA, directors and officers of a Michigan corporation may be entitled to indemnification by the corporation against judgments, expenses, fines, and amounts paid by the director or officer in settlement of claims brought against them by third persons or
23
by or in the right of the corporation if those directors and officers acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders.
The MBCA provides for indemnification of directors and officers if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Perrigo or its shareholders (and, if a criminal proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful) against: (a) expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of Perrigo) arising out of a position with Perrigo (or with some other entity at Perrigos request); and (b) expenses (including attorneys fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of Perrigo, unless the director or officer is found liable to Perrigo, provided that an appropriate court could determine that he or she is nevertheless fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for reasonable expenses incurred. The MBCA requires indemnification for expenses to the extent that a director or officer is successful in defending against any such action, suit, or proceeding.
The MBCA generally requires that the indemnification provided for above be made only on a determination that the director or officer met the applicable standard of conduct by a majority vote of a quorum of the board of directors who were not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by a majority vote of a committee of not less than two disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel, by all independent directors not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or by the shareholders. If the articles of incorporation include a provision eliminating or limiting the liability of a director, however, a corporation may indemnify a director for certain expenses and liabilities without a determination that the director met the applicable standards of conduct, unless the director received a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, intentionally inflicted harm on the corporation or its shareholders, violated Section 551 of the MBCA or intentionally committed a criminal act. In connection with an action by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification may be for expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred. In connection with an action, suit, or proceeding other than an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification may be for expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred, and for judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred.
In certain circumstances, the MBCA further permits advances to cover such expenses before a final determination that indemnification is permissible or required, upon receipt of a written undertaking, which need not be secured and which may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the person to make repayment, by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct. If a provision in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, a resolution of the board or shareholders or an agreement makes indemnification mandatory, then the advancement of expenses is also mandatory, unless the provision, resolution or agreement specifically provides otherwise. The Michigan Indemnity Agreement generally provides for the mandatory indemnification of, and payment of expenses incurred by, its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law unless the proceedings were initiated by the director or officer and not authorized by the board of directors.
Indemnification under the MBCA is not exclusive of other rights to indemnification to which a person may be entitled under the Michigan Entitys amended and restated articles of incorporation, bylaws or a contractual agreement. However, the total amount of expenses advanced or indemnified from all sources may not exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred by the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses. The indemnification provided for under the MBCA continues as to a person who ceases to be a director or executive officer.
The MBCA authorizes a court to award, or a corporation to grant, indemnification to directors and officers in terms that are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
24
persons controlling Perrigo pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Perrigo has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
The MBCA permits Perrigo to purchase insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of their positions with the Perrigo, whether or not such liabilities would be within the above indemnification provisions. Pursuant to this authority, Perrigo maintains such insurance on behalf of its directors and officers.
The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety to the terms and provisions of such arrangements.
Regulatory Approvals
U.S. Antitrust Clearance
Under the HSR Act, Mylan is required to file a Notification and Report Form with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the Antitrust Division) and the FTC and await the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period prior to its proposed acquisition of Perrigo being completed. Mylan filed this Notification and Report Form on April 13, 2015. Perrigo submitted a responsive Notification and Report Form with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on April 28, 2015. On May 11, 2015, the FTC issued to Perrigo a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) and a subpoena seeking documents and other information in connection with the FTCs investigation of the proposed acquisition of Perrigo by Mylan. Perrigo has provided information to the FTC in response to the CID and Subpoena, but has not completed its response. The FTC has requested additional information from Perrigo after receiving Perrigos submissions and has extended the deadline for response. Most recently, on August 21, 2015 the FTC granted to Perrigo a further extension of the deadline to respond to the CID and Subpoena to November 20, 2015. In addition, on May 13, 2015, the FTC issued to Perrigo a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material (Second Request), but has indicated that responses in connection with the CID and Subpoena will satisfy Perrigos obligations under the Second Request.
There can be no assurance that Mylan will be able to obtain antitrust approval or clearance or that a challenge to the Offer by the FTC will not be made, or, if such a challenge is made, what the result thereof would be, although Mylans Prospectus/Offer to Exchange states that Mylan has given an unconditional commitment to take all actions, including making regulatory submissions, responding to information requests and doing everything necessary to obtain a decision from the FTC, including making any and all divestitures and other substantive actions, necessary or required in order to ensure that U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance is obtained. Mylans Prospectus/Offer to Exchange states that, although no such conditions have been finalized, Mylan is currently in discussions with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission about making up to 13 potential divestitures as a requirement of clearance. There can be no assurance that these 13 potential divestitures will be sufficient to obtain U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance, and further, there can be no assurance that any divestitures or other actions required to obtain U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance would not be material to Mylan.
Please see Annex A for more information regarding conditions to the Offer.
Foreign Regulatory Considerations
The closing of the Offer is subject to the notification and approval requirements and the receipt of regulatory approvals from the relevant competition authorities in the European Union, Russia, Ukraine and possibly Mexico. Mylans Prospectus/Offer to Exchange states that Mylan filed formal antitrust notifications in Mexico, Ukraine, the European Union and Russia on June 15, June 22, June 23 and June 29, respectively. The approvals in Ukraine and Russia are pending. On August 17, 2015, Perrigo responded to requests from the Federal Antimonopoly Service in Russia. On or about September 7, 2015, Perrigo received a request for information from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine and has 30 days to comply with such request. On July 29, 2015, the European Commission unconditionally approved Mylans acquisition of Perrigo under the EU
25
Merger Regulation. Although the Offer was not subject to mandatory pre-merger notification under the Competition Act (Canada), on August 14, 2015, the Commission advised Perrigo, following an investigation by the Bureau of Competition, that the Commission had issued a letter to Mylan indicating that the Commission did not intend to make an application under the merger provisions of the Competition Act (Canada), i.e,. the Commission would take No Action in connection with Mylans proposed acquisition of Perrigo. Mylans Prospectus/Offer to Exchange states that on August 13, 2015, the Federal Economic Competition Commission unconditionally approved Mylans acquisition of Perrigo under the Mexican competition law. There can be no assurance that Mylan will be able to obtain all required foreign antitrust approvals or clearances or that a challenge to the Offer by foreign competition authorities will not be made, or, if such a challenge is made, what the result thereof would be. There can be no assurance that any divestitures or other actions required to obtain foreign regulatory approvals would not be material to Mylan.
See Annex A for more information regarding conditions to the Offer.
Irish Takeover Rules
A transaction in which a third party seeks to acquire 30% or more of the voting rights of Perrigo will be governed by the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997 and the Irish Takeover Rules made thereunder and will be regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel. The General Principles of the Irish Takeover Rules and certain important aspects of the Irish Takeover Rules are described below.
General Principles
The Irish Takeover Rules are built on the following General Principles, which will apply to any transaction regulated by the Irish Takeover Panel:
(a) | in the event of an offer, all holders of securities of the target company should be afforded equivalent treatment and, if a person acquires control of a company, the other holders of securities must be protected; |
(b) | the holders of the securities of the target company must have sufficient time and information to enable them to reach a properly informed decision on the offer; where it advises the holders of securities, the board of the target company must give its views on the effects of implementation of the offer on employment, conditions of employment and the locations of the target companys places of business; |
(c) | the board of the target company must act in the interests of the company as a whole and must not deny the holders of securities the opportunity to decide on the merits of the offer; |
(d) | false markets must not be created in the securities of the target company, the bidder or of any other company concerned by the offer in such a way that the rise or fall of the prices of the securities becomes artificial and the normal functioning of the markets is distorted; |
(e) | a bidder must announce an offer only after ensuring that he or she can fulfill in full, any cash consideration, if such is offered, and after taking all reasonable measures to secure the implementation of any other type of consideration; |
(f) | a target company must not be hindered in the conduct of its affairs for longer than is reasonable by an offer for its securities; and |
(g) | a substantial acquisition of securities (whether such acquisition is to be effected by one transaction or a series of transactions) shall take place only at an acceptable speed and shall be subject to adequate and timely disclosure. |
26
Offer Price
If a person makes a voluntary offer to acquire outstanding ordinary shares of Perrigo, the offer price must be no less than the highest price paid for Perrigo Ordinary Shares by the bidder or its concert parties during the three-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period. The Irish Takeover Panel has the power to extend the look back period to 12 months if the Irish Takeover Panel, taking into account the General Principles, believes it is appropriate to do so.
If the bidder or any person acting in concert with it has acquired Perrigo Ordinary Shares (i) during the period of 12 months prior to the commencement of the offer period which represent more than 10% of the total ordinary shares of Perrigo or (ii) at any time after the commencement of the offer period, the offer must be in cash (or accompanied by a full cash alternative) and the price per Perrigo Ordinary Share must not be less than the highest price paid by the bidder or any person acting in concert with it during, in the case of (i), the 12-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period and, in the case of (ii), the offer period. The Irish Takeover Panel may apply this rule to a bidder who, together with any person acting in concert with it, has acquired less than 10% of the total ordinary shares of Perrigo in the 12-month period prior to the commencement of the offer period if the Irish Takeover Panel, taking into account the General Principles, considers it just and proper to do so.
An offer period will generally commence from the date of the first announcement of the offer or proposed offer.
Shareholder Rights Plan
Perrigos articles of association expressly authorize Perrigos board of directors to adopt a shareholder rights plan, subject to applicable law.
Irish law does not expressly authorize or prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure and there is no directly relevant case law on this issue.
Frustrating Action
Under the Irish Takeover Rules, the Perrigo Board is not permitted to take any action which might frustrate an offer for the shares of Perrigo once the Perrigo Board has received an approach which may lead to an offer or has reason to believe an offer is imminent, subject to certain exceptions. Potentially frustrating actions such as (i) the issue of shares, options or convertible securities, (ii) material acquisitions or disposals, (iii) entering into contracts other than in the ordinary course of business or (iv) any action, other than seeking alternative offers, which may result in frustration of an offer, are prohibited during the course of an offer or at any time during which the board has reason to believe an offer is imminent. Exceptions to this prohibition are available where:
(a) | the action is approved by Perrigos shareholders at a general meeting; or |
(b) | the Irish Takeover Panel has given its consent, where: |
(i) | it is satisfied the action would not constitute frustrating action; |
(ii) | Perrigo shareholders that hold 50% of the voting rights state in writing that they approve the proposed action and would vote in favor of it at a general meeting; |
(iii) | the action is taken in accordance with a contract entered into prior to the announcement of the offer; or |
(iv) | the decision to take such action was made before the announcement of the offer and either has been at least partially implemented or is in the ordinary course of business. |
Please see Annex C for more information required to be disclosed pursuant to the Irish Takeover Rules.
27
Compulsory Acquisition
According to Mylan, if the Offer becomes wholly unconditional within the initial 60-day offer period and, within four months of the commencement of the offer, Mylan has received valid acceptances in respect of at least 80% of Perrigo Ordinary Shares, Mylan intends to proceed with a Compulsory Acquisition of the remaining Perrigo Ordinary Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 456 to 460 of the Companies Act. In these circumstances, holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares who have not tendered in the offer or any subsequent offer period will receive, in the compulsory acquisition, the same amount of cash and the same number of Mylan Ordinary Shares that they would have received had they tendered their shares in the Offer.
In order to compulsorily acquire the outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares, Mylan would be required to issue a call notice to Perrigo ordinary shareholders who did not tender their shares during the Offer indicating that Mylan wishes to acquire the beneficial ownership of their shares. Following receipt of a call notice, Perrigo shareholders who did not tender their shares in the Offer would be entitled to apply to the Irish High Court for an order allowing them to retain their shares in Perrigo or amend the terms of the Compulsory Acquisition. The granting of such an order would be at the High Courts discretion and such an order would usually only be granted where the High Court determines the Compulsory Acquisition to be unfair or inequitable. Mylan will become obliged to compulsorily acquire any outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares in respect of which notice has been given following the expiration of 30 days after the date on which the call notice was given, or, in the event that a Perrigo shareholder applies to the Irish High Court seeking to retain their shares or amend the terms of the Compulsory Acquisition, as soon as may be practicable after that application is disposed of.
Alternatively, if Mylan has received acceptances in respect of at least 80% of the outstanding Perrigo Ordinary Shares under the Offer but does not compulsorily acquire the remaining shares, any Perrigo shareholder who has not tendered in the Offer would have the right (under Sections 456 to 460 of the Companies Act) to require Mylan to acquire such shareholders Perrigo Ordinary Shares for the same amount of cash and the same number of Mylan Ordinary Shares as are payable to Perrigo shareholders who tendered in the Offer. This right would have to be exercised within three months of the date on which Mylan issues a notification that the 80% threshold has been reached.
State Takeover Laws
A number of states have adopted takeover laws and regulations which purport to varying degrees to be applicable to attempts to acquire securities of corporations which are incorporated in such states or which have or whose business operations have substantial economic effects in such states, or which have substantial assets, security holders, principal executive offices or principal places of business in such states. If any state takeover statute is found to be applicable to the Offer, Mylan may be unable to accept Perrigo Ordinary Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer or be delayed in continuing or consummating the Offer.
Appraisal Rights
Holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares do not have dissenters or appraisal rights under the terms of the Offer. For information concerning compulsory acquisition and shareholder rights if Mylan has received acceptances in respect of at least 80% of Perrigos Ordinary Shares under the Offer, see the section entitled Compulsory Acquisition above.
Litigation
On September 17, 2015, Perrigo commenced litigation against Mylan in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. In its complaint, Perrigo alleges that Mylan violated Exchange Act by making false and misleading statements in connection with the Offer concerning expected synergies and its intention to cause Perrigo to delist and deregister Perrigos shares following consummation of the Offer. On this basis, Perrigo seeks, among other things, (1) a declaration that the
28
offering materials disseminated by Mylan to Perrigos shareholders are materially false and misleading, in violation of the Exchange Act; (2) an injunction requiring Mylan to provide corrective disclosures to Perrigos shareholders; (3) an injunction requiring Mylan to accept any timely withdrawals submitted by Perrigos shareholders subsequent to the issuance of corrective disclosures; and (4) an injunction preventing Mylan from making any further false and/or misleading disclosures regarding the Offer in the future.
Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Statement are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements relate to future events or the Companys future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company or its industry to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as may, will, could, would, should, expect, plan, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, predict, potential or other comparable terminology. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While the Company believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Companys control, including future actions that may be taken by Mylan in furtherance of its unsolicited proposal. These and other important factors, including those discussed under Risk Factors in the Perrigo Companys Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 2015, as well as the Companys subsequent filings with the SEC, may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made only as of the date hereof, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ANNEX A
The Schedule TO provides that under the Irish Takeover Rules, the Initial Offer Period (as defined in the Schedule TO) generally cannot be extended without the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel.
According the Schedule TO, Mylan expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time or from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) subject to obtaining the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel, to extend, for any reason, the period of time during which the Offer is open, (2) to delay acceptance for exchange of, or exchange of, Perrigo ordinary shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws (any such delay shall be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires Mylan to pay the consideration offered or to return Perrigo Ordinary Shares deposited by or on behalf of shareholders promptly (and as separately required under the Irish Takeover Rules, in no event later than 14 days) after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), (3) to amend or terminate the offer without accepting for exchange of, or exchanging, Perrigo Ordinary Shares if any of the conditions referred to below have not been satisfied and (4) to amend the Offer or to waive any conditions to the offer at any time, in each case by giving oral or written notice of such delay, termination, waiver or amendment to the exchange agent and by making a public announcement thereof. Mylan will only be obligated to take any of the actions described in the immediately preceding sentence to the extent required by the Irish Takeover Rules, Irish Takeover Panel or applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
According to the Schedule TO, the Offer is subject to the following conditions:
Acceptance Condition
(a) | Valid acceptances being received (and not validly withdrawn) by not later than 1.00 p.m. (Irish time) / 8.00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Closing Date (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as Mylan may: (i) with the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel (to the extent required) or in accordance with the Irish Takeover Rules; and (ii) subject to the U.S. tender offer rules, determine) in respect of Perrigo Shares Affected representing more than 50% in nominal value of the Maximum Perrigo Shares Affected, which carry, or if allotted and issued, or re-issued from treasury would carry, more than 50% of the voting rights attaching to the Maximum Perrigo Shares Affected, provided that this condition shall not be satisfied unless Mylan shall have acquired or agreed to acquire (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) Perrigo Ordinary Shares carrying in aggregate more than 50% of the voting rights then exercisable at a general meeting of Perrigo, including for this purpose (except to the extent otherwise agreed with the Irish Takeover Panel) any such voting rights attaching to Perrigo Ordinary Shares that are unconditionally allotted or issued before the offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances whether pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding subscription or conversion rights or otherwise, and provided that unless Mylan otherwise determines, this condition (a) shall be capable of being satisfied, or being treated as satisfied, only at the time when all of the other conditions (b) to (w) inclusive, shall have been satisfied, fulfilled or, to the extent permitted, waived; |

(C) | Perrigo Ordinary Shares which have been re-issued from treasury after the date on which the Offer is made but before the time at which the Offer closes, or such earlier date as Mylan may, subject to the Irish Takeover Rules, decide (not being earlier than the date on which the Offer becomes unconditional as to acceptances or, if later, the Initial Closing Date), |
other than Perrigo Ordinary Shares in the beneficial ownership of Mylan on the date the Offer is made;
(iii) | the expression Maximum Perrigo Shares Affected shall mean, at a relevant date of determination, the aggregate of: |

Receipt of Mylan Shareholder Approval
(b) | Mylan having received the affirmative vote of the requisite majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of its shareholders at which the requisite part of the issued share capital is present or represented in respect of the resolutions of the general meeting required by article 2:107a of the Dutch Civil Code and Nasdaq Rule 5636 in connection with the consummation of the Offer and such other resolutions as may be instrumental for the implementation of the Offer; |

CONFIDENTIAL

Board of Directors
Perrigo Company plc
Treasury Building
Lower Grand Canal St.
Dublin 2, Ireland
Members of the Board:
We understand that on September 14, 2015, Mylan N.V. (Mylan), commenced an offer to exchange (the Offer) each of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares, par value 0.001 per ordinary share (the Perrigo Ordinary Shares), of Perrigo Company plc (Perrigo) for (a) 2.3 ordinary shares, nominal value 0.01 per share (the Mylan Ordinary Shares), of Mylan and (b) $75.00 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes (together, the Consideration), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange (the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange) and the related Letter of Transmittal, each contained in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the Tender Offer Statement) and the registration statement on Form S-4 in respect of the Offer (such Form S-4, together with the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, the related Letter of Transmittal and the Tender Offer Statement, in each case, as amended through the date hereof, the Offer Documents). The Offer Documents further provide that if Mylan receives acceptances in respect of more than 50% of the Perrigo Ordinary Shares and the Offer becomes or is declared wholly unconditional within the initial 60-day offer period and, within four months of the commencement of the Offer (including during the subsequent offer period), Mylan receives valid acceptances in respect of at least 80% of the Perrigo Ordinary Shares, Mylan intends to proceed with a compulsory acquisition of the remaining Perrigo Ordinary Shares not tendered in the Offer in accordance with the provisions of Sections 456 to 460 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland, which compulsory acquisition will be at the same consideration per Perrigo Ordinary Share as the Consideration (the Compulsory Acquisition). The potential transactions to be effected pursuant to the Offer and the Compulsory Acquisition are referred to herein, collectively, as the Proposed Transaction. The terms and conditions of the Offer are more fully set forth in the Offer Documents.
You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Consideration to be received by the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer is adequate from a financial point of view to the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares (other than Mylan and its affiliates).
For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have:
1) | Reviewed certain publicly available financial statements and other business and financial information of Perrigo and Mylan, respectively; |
2) | Reviewed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning Perrigo; |
3) | Reviewed certain financial projections for Perrigo prepared by the management of Perrigo; |
4) | Discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of Perrigo with senior executives of Perrigo; |
B-1
Board of Directors
Perrigo Company plc

5) | Reviewed information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Proposed Transaction, as prepared and publicly announced by the management of Mylan, and the pro forma impact of the Proposed Transaction on Mylans earnings per share, cash flow, consolidated capitalization and other financial ratios; |
6) | Reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the Perrigo Ordinary Shares and the Mylan Ordinary Shares; |
7) | Compared the financial performance of Perrigo and Mylan and the prices and trading activity of the Perrigo Ordinary Shares and the Mylan Ordinary Shares with that of certain other publicly-traded companies comparable with Perrigo and Mylan, respectively, and their securities; |
8) | Reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain comparable acquisition transactions; |
9) | Reviewed the Offer Documents and certain related documents; and |
10) | Performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate. |
We have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to us by Perrigo, and formed a substantial basis for this opinion. We have further relied upon the assurances of the management of Perrigo that it is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the financial projections for Perrigo prepared by the management of Perrigo, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Perrigo of the future financial performance of Perrigo, and we express no view as to the reasonableness of such financial projections or any assumptions on which they are based. As you know, we have not been provided with access to management or internal financial information or projections of future performance of Mylan and instead have relied on publicly available information and certain research analyst estimates for Mylan with respect to such matters. In relying on certain research analyst estimates for Mylan, we have assumed that such estimates have been reasonably prepared on bases that reasonably reflect the future financial performance of Mylan, and we express no view as to the reasonableness of such estimates or any assumption on which they are based. With respect to the certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Proposed Transaction prepared and publicly announced by the management of Mylan, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Mylan of the future financial performance of Mylan, and we express no view as to the reasonableness of such benefits or any assumptions on which they are based. In addition, we have assumed that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offer Documents without any waiver, amendment or delay of any terms or conditions. Morgan Stanley has assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary governmental, regulatory or other approvals and consents required for the Proposed Transaction, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the Proposed Transaction. We are not legal, tax or regulatory advisors. We are financial advisors only and have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of Perrigo and its legal, tax or regulatory advisors with respect to legal, tax or regulatory matters. We express no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of Perrigos officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares in the Proposed Transaction. We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Perrigo or Mylan, nor have we been

furnished with any such valuations or appraisals. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Proposed Transaction as compared to any other alternative business transaction, or other alternatives, or whether or not such alternatives could be achieved or are available. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.
We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of Perrigo in connection with the Offer and will receive a fee for our services, a significant portion of which is contingent upon the rendering of our opinion as to whether the Consideration to be received by the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer is adequate from a financial point of view to the holders of Perrigo Ordinary Shares (other than Mylan and its affiliates). In the two years prior to the date hereof, we have provided financial advisory and financing services for Perrigo and Mylan and have received fees in connection with such services.

In accordance with his employment agreement, Mr. Papas compensation currently includes: a base salary ($1,200,000 as of September 11, 2015, which is Mr. Papas current fixed remuneration); participation in the Management Incentive Bonus Plan; annual grants of stock options, service-based restricted units and performance-based restricted stock units; and participation in Perrigos other employee benefit plans.
Mr. Papa also serves on the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement. Although the agreement had an initial term of two years, it automatically was extended for additional 12-month periods and will continue to do so until either Perrigo or Mr. Papa provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 120 days before the last day of the then-current renewal term. The agreement contains customary confidentiality obligations, non-competition restrictions for two years from the date of termination of his employment and non-solicitation restrictions for one year from the date of termination of his employment.
If Mr. Papa were involuntarily terminated by Perrigo without cause or voluntarily terminated for good reason (as defined in the agreement), he would receive cash severance benefits, benefit continuation and continued vesting of certain stock-based awards. There are no additional enhancements for a termination of employment following a change of control.
All of our named executive officers participate in our MIB Plan, LTIP, and our Deferred Compensation Plan. These plans may require us to provide compensation to these officers in the event of a termination of employment or a change-in-control of Perrigo. Mr. Papa also would receive compensation under his employment agreement in the event of a termination of employment or a change-in-control of Perrigo; however, any severance benefits payable under that agreement will only occur in the event of a termination
C-19
of employment which, when following a change-in-control of Perrigo, results in a double trigger for severance benefits. The Remuneration Committee retains discretion to provide, and in the past has provided, additional benefits to executive officers upon termination or resignation if it determines the circumstances so warrant.
Under Mr. Papas employment agreement, his employment may be terminated during the term of the agreement under the following circumstances:
| upon Mr. Papas death or disability; |
| by Perrigo for cause (as defined in the agreement); |
| by Mr. Papa upon 30 days written notice; |
| by mutual agreement; |
| by Perrigo without cause upon 30 days written notice; or |
| by Mr. Papa with good reason (as defined in the agreement). |
If Mr. Papas employment is terminated during the term of the agreement for any reason, he will receive compensation and benefits earned to date, including payment for unused vacation days. If Mr. Papas employment is terminated as a result of death or disability, Mr. Papa also will receive a pro rata management incentive bonus for the portion of the year he was employed. If Perrigo terminates Mr. Papas employment for cause, he will receive compensation and benefits earned to date, but he will forfeit any options (whether vested or unvested), restricted stock and unvested benefits. Any salary and unused vacation days will be paid to Mr. Papa in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the date of termination. Other benefits will be paid to Mr. Papa in accordance with applicable law and the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement.
If during the term of this agreement Mr. Papas employment is terminated by Perrigo without cause or by him for good reason and he agrees to a release of claims against Perrigo, he will also be entitled to compensation and benefits earned to that date, as well as:
| payment of an amount equal to 24 months of his then-current salary and target bonus, payable in regular payroll installments; |
| continued vesting as if he had remained employed with Perrigo of the stock option and restricted stock awards granted to him upon his hire and the ability to exercise those options, to the extent they were vested at termination or vest subsequently, until the later of (i) 25 months after the date of termination, (ii) 30 days after the last vesting date of an option that vests after termination, or (iii) any later applicable date specified in the Long Term Incentive Award Agreement (Award Agreement) pursuant to which the options were granted; provided that no option may be exercised later than the expiration of the option term as specified in the Award Agreement; |
| continued vesting for a period of 24 months of all other stock option and restricted stock awards granted to him, and the ability to exercise those options, to the extent they were vested at termination or vest subsequently, until the later of (i) 25 months after the date of termination, or (ii) any later applicable date specified in the award agreement pursuant to which the options were granted; provided that no option may be exercised later than the expiration of the option term as specified in the award agreement; and |
| a pro rata management incentive bonus for the portion of the year he was employed. |
C-20
Payments Under the Management Incentive Bonus Plan
Generally, no portion of the payments under the MIB Plan is considered earned or payable for a particular year unless Mr. Papa is employed by us and in good standing on the first day of the following fiscal year. The MIB Plan, however, may require us to make payments to Mr. Papa in the event that he is no longer employed by Perrigo on the first day of the following fiscal year under the following circumstances:
| retirement at age 65 or older; |
| retirement at age 60 or older with at least 10 years of service; |
| early retirement of Mr. Papa under an early retirement plan; |
| permanent disability as determined by the Remuneration Committee; or |
| death. |
Under all circumstances listed above, Mr. Papa, or his estate in the case of death, will be entitled to a pro rata portion of any payment under the MIB Plan for that fiscal year, computed to the date of the termination.
Payments Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan
If Mr. Papa terminates employment with us due to death, disability or retirement, his (i) outstanding options will immediately vest in full and (ii) restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units will be free of any restriction period. The outstanding options may be exercised in whole or in part by the participant or his fiduciary, beneficiary or conservator, as applicable, at any time prior to their respective expiration dates.
If Mr. Papa is involuntarily terminated for economic reasons, he may exercise his options, to the extent vested, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is 30 days after the date that is 24 months after the termination date, or (ii) the respective expiration dates. Any options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units that are not vested on the termination date, but are scheduled to vest during the 24-month period following the termination date according to the vesting schedule in effect before termination, will vest as if Mr. Papa had continued to provide services to us during the 24-month period. Any unvested options, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units that are not scheduled to vest during that 24-month period will be forfeited on the termination date. If Mr. Papa dies after the termination date while his options remain exercisable, the fiduciary of Mr. Papas estate or his beneficiary may exercise the options (to the extent that those options were vested and exercisable prior Mr. Papas death) at any time prior to the later of the date that is (i) 30 days after the date that is 24 months after Mr. Papas termination date, or (ii) 12 months after the date of death, but in no event later than the expiration dates of his options. Upon an event of termination for any reason during the restriction period, restricted shares and stock units still subject to restriction generally will be forfeited by Mr. Papa and reacquired by Perrigo. We may in our sole discretion waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with regard to Mr. Papas shares, except for restricted share awards that are intended to comply with certain performance-based compensation requirements.
If Mr. Papa is terminated for cause, any restricted shares or units subject to a restriction period will be forfeited and his or her right to exercise his options will terminate. If within 60 days after Mr. Papa is terminated for any reason, Perrigo discovers circumstances that would have permitted us to terminate a Mr. Papa for cause, any shares, cash or other property paid or delivered to Mr. Papa will be forfeited and Mr. Papa must repay those amounts to Perrigo.
If Mr. Papa is terminated for any reason other than those described above, Mr. Papa will have the right to exercise his options at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is three months after the termination date, or (ii) their respective expiration dates, but only to the extent that those options were vested prior to the termination date. Any options or restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units that
C-21
are not vested at the termination date will be forfeited on the termination date. If Mr. Papa dies after the termination date while his options remain exercisable, the fiduciary of Mr. Papas estate or his beneficiary may exercise the options (to the extent that those options were vested and exercisable prior to Mr. Papas death) at any time prior to the earlier of (i) 12 months after the date of death, or (ii) their respective expiration dates.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the LTIP), options, restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units outstanding under the LTIP as of the date of the change in control that have not vested will become vested and the options will become fully exercisable. The restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any restricted shares and units will lapse and the restricted shares and units will become free of all restrictions and limitations and will become fully vested and transferable. In addition, upon a change in control, all performance awards will be considered to be earned and payable in full, and any deferral or other restriction will lapse and the performance awards will be immediately settled and distributed. The restrictions and deferral limitations and other conditions applicable to any other stock unit awards or any other awards will lapse and those other stock unit awards and other awards will become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and will become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.
Payments Under the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
If a named executive officer is terminated for any reason other than death, he or she will receive a termination benefit under the Deferred Compensation Plan equal to his or her vested account balance.
This termination benefit will be paid to the named executive officer in a lump sum or under an annual installment method of up to 15 years, based on the named executive officers choice when he or she began participation in the plan or as he or she subsequently changed the election. If the named executive officer did not make an election with respect to method of payment for a termination benefit, he or she will be deemed to have elected to be paid in a lump sum. Payments generally will be made no later than 60 days after the named executive officer terminates his or her employment with us. A named executive officers beneficiary will receive a survivor benefit equal to the named executive officers vested account balance if the named executive officer dies before he or she commences payment under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The survivor benefit will be paid to the named executive officers beneficiary in a lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than 60 days after the last day of the plan year in which the named executive officer dies.

APPENDIX II
PROFIT FORECAST
PERRIGO PROFIT FORECAST
Profit Forecast including Bases and Assumptions
1. | General |
On April 21, 2015, within its quarterly earnings release, Perrigo Company plc (Perrigo) issued forward looking consolidated calendar 2015 guidance of:
| Operating cash flow of approximately $1.2 billion |
| Adjusted earnings per diluted share between $7.50 and $8.00 |
Perrigo Company confirmed this guidance on August 5, 2015 within its calendar 2015 second quarter earnings release, and has today confirmed this guidance as set out in this Appendix II.
The statements above regarding forecasted adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating cash flows for calendar 2015 constitute a profit forecast (Profit Forecast) for the purposes of Rule 28 of the Irish Takeover Rules.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net income per share divided by adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Adjusted net income is defined as U.S. GAAP net income, adjusted to exclude:
| Amortization of acquired intangible assets related to business combinations and asset acquisitions |
| Restructuring charges related to completed business acquisition and for organizational improvements |
| Unusual litigation charges |
| Transaction and pre-deal financing costs related to the Omega Pharma acquisition |
| An initial payment made by Perrigo in connection with an R&D arrangement |
| Acquisition and integration-related charges |
| Equity method investment losses |
| Acquisition related inventory step-up costs |
| Legal and consulting fees related to the Mylan defense |
| Acquisition related contingent consideration costs |
| Goodwill impairment |
| Investment impairment charges |
| Losses on derivatives related to a pending acquisition and terminated debt |
| Tax effect of the above items |
Adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding is calculated by adding the incremental shares from assumed conversions of stock options and restricted stock awards to the weighted average basic shares outstanding and deducting the impact of shares issued to finance the Omega Pharma acquisition prior to the close of that transaction.
C-24
2. | Basis of preparation |
The Profit Forecast is based on the unaudited published results for the six months to June 27, 2015 plus six months of forecasted results. The Profit Forecast has been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Perrigo which are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those adopted in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 27, 2015 as well as those expected to be adopted for the six month period ended December 31, 2015. Perrigo is changing its fiscal year end to December 31 beginning with the year ended December 31, 2016. Perrigo will publish calendar 2015 financial results.
Additionally, Perrigo has changed its reporting segments to more closely reflect the management of the Company and the opportunities related to each underlying segment. Accordingly, the Company filed a Form 8-K on April 21, 2015 to disclose the historical recast quarterly financial statements for calendar years 2010 2014 in the prospective segment format. The Company has committed to publishing actual results on a consistent basis.
The Profit Forecast was prepared on the basis that there will be no material change in the ownership of Perrigo.
3. | Assumptions |
The Perrigo Directors have prepared the Profit Forecast on the basis of the following assumptions:
Factors within the Directors Influence and Control
| The Profit Forecast assumes growth levels for the existing business segments (excluding Branded CHC) for the second half of the calendar year 2015 are consistent with those achieved through the first half of calendar year 2015. |
| The integration of, and realization of synergies in relation to the acquisition, of Omega Pharma, which became the Branded CHC segment at the start of the second quarter of calendar year 2015, proceeding as planned and not being subject to any delays or additional costs over and above those expected to be incurred. |
| The forecast only includes those acquisitions closed or announced on or prior to June 27, 2015 and does not include any additional acquisitions, dispositions, partnerships, in-license transactions, or any changes to Perrigos existing capital structure or business model during calendar year 2015. |
| There will be no material share repurchases, or issuances, in determining weighted average number of diluted shares. |
Factors outside the influence or control of the Perrigo Directors
| There will be no changes in general trading conditions, economic conditions, competitive environment or levels of demand, in the countries in which Perrigo operates or trades which would materially affect Perrigos business. |
| There will be no business interruptions that materially affect Perrigo, its major suppliers or major customers by reason of technological faults, natural disasters, industrial disruption, civil disturbance or government action. |
| There will be no material changes in the price of raw materials, freight, energy, and labor costs from those used in the forecast. |
| There will be no material changes in exchange rates, interest rates, bases and rates of taxes, and legislative or regulatory requirements that would have a material impact on Perrigo. |
| There will be no material adverse events that affect Perrigos key products, including, competition from new generic variants, product recalls, product liability claims or discovery of previously unknown side effects. |
