On October 29, 2004, The Perrigo Company held its Annual Shareholders' Meeting
at the Perrigo Corporate Office, Allegan, Michigan.

The Annual Shareholders' Meeting slides presented are Exhibit 99. Certain
statements in these slides are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject
to the safe harbor created thereby. These statements relate to future events or
the Company's 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. Please see the "Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements" on pages 27 - 33 of the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended June 26, 2004 for a discussion of certain important factors that
relate to forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will
prove to be correct. 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.

The information in this Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed
"filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The
information in this Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into
any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be
expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
