Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure
Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

As required by Rule 13p-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Perrigo Company plc (“the Company”) conducted a review of its products to determine whether any conflict minerals (Cassiterite, Columbite-Tantalite, Wolframite, their derivatives and Gold) are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. As part of this review, the Company’s procurement, quality control, engineering, research and development and other groups reviewed bills of materials to determine whether the Company’s products possibly include conflict minerals or their known derivatives. The Company determined that, for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2014, a limited number of products in its Nutritionals segment contained trace amounts of tin sourced from a single supplier.
The Company conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry from the supplier, and the supplier certified to the Company that the tin did not originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or its adjoining countries.
This information is also publicly available at the Company’s website at www.perrigo.com. The content of any website referred to in this Form SD is included for general information only and is not incorporated by reference in this Form SD.
