Segment Reporting Change

               During the three months ended March 30, 2019, we changed the composition of our operating and reporting segments. We moved our Israeli diagnostic business from the Consumer Self-Care International segment to the Prescription Pharmaceuticals segment and we made certain adjustments to our allocations between segments. These changes were made to reflect changes in the way in which management makes operating decisions, allocates resources, and manages the growth and profitability of the Company. Financial information related to our business segments and geographic locations can be found in Note 2 and Note 17.

Our new reporting and operating segments are as follows:

Consumer Self-Care Americas ("CSCA"), formerly Consumer Healthcare Americas, comprises our consumer self-care business (OTC, contract manufacturing, infant formula and animal health categories) in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Consumer Self-Care International ("CSCI"),formerly Consumer Healthcare International, comprises our branded consumer self-care business primarily in Europe, our consumer-focused business in the United Kingdom and Australia, and our liquid licensed products business in the United Kingdom.
Prescription Pharmaceuticals ("RX") comprises our Prescription Pharmaceuticals business in the U.S. and our diagnostic business in Israel, which was previously in our CSCI segment.

Recent Accounting Standard Pronouncements
    
Below are recent accounting standard updatesAccounting Standard Updates ("ASU") that we are still assessing to determine the effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards could have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted
StandardDescriptionDate of adoptionEffect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Clarifying the Definition of a BusinessThis update clarifies the definition of a business and addresses whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions or business combinations (or divestitures). The guidance includes an initial threshold that an acquired set of assets will not be considered a business if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single tangible or identifiable intangible asset (or group of similar assets). If the acquired set does not pass the initial threshold, then the guidance requires that, to be a business, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Different factors are considered to determine whether the set includes a substantive process, such as the inclusion of an organized workforce. Further, the guidance removes language stating that a business need not include all of the inputs and processes that the seller used in operating the business.January 1, 2017
We early adopted this new standard and will apply it prospectively when determining whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions (divestitures) or business combinations (divestitures). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we applied the new guidance when determining whether certain product divestitures represented sales of assets or businesses.

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
This guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. It will require all income tax effects of awards to be recorded through the income statement when the awards vest or settle as opposed to certain amounts being recorded in additional paid-in capital. An entity will also have to elect whether to account for forfeitures as they occur or by estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change (as currently required). The guidance will also increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards.January 1, 2017We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. We elected to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjust the estimate when it is likely to change, consistent with past practice. We did not change the amounts that we withhold to cover income taxes on awards. As the requirement to record all income tax effects of vested or settled awards through the income statement is prospective in nature, there was no cumulative effect of adopting the standard on our balance sheet.

Revenue from Contracts with CustomersASU 2018-15: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This guidance allows for two adoption methods, full retrospective approachrequires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or modified retrospective approach.expense as incurred. January 1, 20182020 We continue to evaluate the implications of adoption of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have completed an initial assessment and are in the process of quantifying the adoption impact, if any, related to certain topics identified through our evaluation process. Our assessment of the new revenue standard has been focused on, but has not been limited to, the concepts of over-time versus point-in-time revenue recognition patterns, variable consideration, and identification of performance obligations. We will not complete our final assessment and quantification of the impact of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements until the adoption date. Our analysis indicates that certain contract manufacturing and private label arrangements may require revenue recognition over-time in situations in which we produce products that have no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, inclusive of a reasonable profit margin. This may result in an acceleration of revenue recognition for certain contractual arrangements as compared to recognition under current accounting literature. Wecurrently plan to adopt the new revenue standard prospectively on the effective January 1, 2018 usingdate. Upon adoption, no impact is currently expected, however, future hosting arrangements treated as service contracts will need to be evaluated for capitalizable costs during implementation. The Consolidated Financial Statement impact will align with the modified retrospective method.presentation of the underlying hosting contracts, which will be included within Operating expenses.
Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other Than InventoryASU 2018-13: Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement Under the newThis guidance the tax impactamends ASC 820 to the seller on the profit from the transfersadd, remove, and the buyer’s deferred tax benefit on the increased tax basis would be recognized when the transfers occur, resulting in the recognition of expense sooner than under historical guidance. The guidance excludes intra-entity transfers of inventory. For intra-entity transfers of inventory, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") decided to retain current GAAP, which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences when the inventory has been sold to an outside party.modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. January 1, 20182020 We are currently evaluatingplan to adopt the implicationsstandard on the effective date. Upon adoption, we will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurement. We will no longer be required to disclose the amount of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurementreasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of Financial Assets and LiabilitiesThe objective of this simplification update is to improve the decision usefulness of financial instrument reporting, and it principally affects accounting for equity investments currently classified as available for sale and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. Entities will have to measure many equity investments at fair value and recognize changes in fair value in net income rather than other comprehensive income as required under current U.S. GAAP.January 1, 2018We have identified certain investments that will require an adjustment, however, at this time, we are unable to estimate the impact of adopting this standard as the significance of the impact will depend upon our equity investments as of the date of adoption.

LeasesThis guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees are permitted to make an election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, lessees will apply the new standard as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, however lessees will be able to exclude leases that expire as of the implementation date. Early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2019We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements and have commenced the first step of identifying a task force to take the lead in implementing the new Lease standard.
Derivatives and HedgingThis update was issued to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. In addition, the amendments simplify the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. Under the new rule, the entity’s ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components is expanded. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements. Early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2019

 This guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, replacing the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" credit impairment model, which will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost, and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and off-balance sheet credit exposures such as letters of credit.

The proposed guidance would be applied retrospectively to the date of initial adoption of Topic 606. January 1, 2020 We are currently evaluatingin the new standardprocess of completing our evaluation.

Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Simplifying the Test for Goodwillpost-retirement plans. The objective of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of subsequent goodwill accounting by simplifying the impairment test by removing the Step 2 requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an entity would record an impairment charge based on that difference, limited to the amount of goodwill attributed to that reporting unit. The proposal would not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The proposed guidance would be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted.January 1,December 31, 2020

Note 2


While the majority of revenue is recognized at a point in time, certain of our product revenue is recognized on an over time basis. Predominately, over time customer contracts exist in contract manufacturing arrangements, which occur in both the CSCA and CSCI segments. Contract manufacturing revenue was $65.8 million and $133.1 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, and $77.1 million and $146.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

We also recognize a portion of the store brand OTC product revenues in the CSCA segment on an over time basis; however, the timing difference between over time and point in time revenue recognition for store brand contracts is not significant due to the short time period between the customization of the product and shipment or delivery.

The excess was lower than our annual impairment test as of October 1, 2018, in which fair value exceeded carrying value by more than 25%. While no impairment was recorded as of June 29, 2019, future developments such as deterioration in business performance or market multiples could reduce the fair value of this reporting unit and lead to impairment in a future period.

We recorded amortization expense of $88.5$73.6 million and $89.7$149.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016,June 29, 2019, respectively, and $261.3$85.3 million and $263.9$172.4 million for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016,2018, respectively.

We recorded an impairment charge within our RX segment of $12.7 million on certain In Process Research and Development ("IPR&D") assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to changes in the projected development and regulatory timelines for various projects. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a decrease in the contingent consideration liability associated with certain IPR&D assets in Other operating income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (refer to Note 6).


During the three months ended July 1, 2017,June 29, 2019, we identified impairment indicators for our Lumara Health, Inc. ("Lumara") product assets. The primary impairment indicators includeda certain definite-lived asset related to changes in pricing and competition in the declinemarket, which lowered the projected cash flows we expect to generate from the asset. We determined the asset was impaired by $27.8 million in our 2017 performance expectations and a reduction in our long-range revenue growth forecast.

("Omega") and recorded an impairment charge of $273.4 million. In addition, during the three months ended October 1, 2016, we identified indicators of impairment associated with certain indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible brand category assets acquired in conjunction with the Omega acquisition. As a result of these additional indicators, we recorded impairment charges of $575.7 million on our indefinite-lived assets and $290.9 million on our definite-lived assets. The impairment charges for both the indefinite-lived assets and definite-lived assets were recorded within our CHCI segment.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING

We have multiple accounts receivable factoring arrangements with non-related third-party financial institutions (the “Factors”). Pursuant to the terms of the arrangements, we sell to the Factors certain of our accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. An administrative fee ranging from 0.14% to 0.15% per invoice is charged on the gross amount of accounts receivables assigned to the Factors, and interest is calculated at the applicable EUR LIBOR rate plus 70 basis points. The total amount factored on a non-recourse basis and excluded from accounts receivable was $24.3 million and $50.7 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following fair value hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable.

Level 1:Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2:Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Level 3:Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is determined using a market approach, which utilizes values for comparable derivative instruments.

Funds Associated with Israel Severance Liability

Israeli labor laws and agreements require us to pay benefits to employees dismissed or retiring under certain circumstances. Severance pay is calculated on the basis of the most recent employee salary levels and the length of employee service. Our Israeli subsidiaries also provide retirement bonuses to certain managerial employees. We make regular deposits to retirement funds and purchase insurance policies to partially fund these liabilities. The funds are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms, as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Royalty Pharma Contingent Milestone Payments and Financial Assets


On December 18, 2013, we acquired Elan, which had a royalty agreement with Biogen Idec Inc. ("Biogen"), whereby Biogen conveyedThe table below summarizes the right to receive royalties that are typically payable on sales revenue generated by the sale, distribution or other use of the drug Tysabri®. Pursuant to the royalty agreement, we were entitled to royalty payments from Biogen based on its Tysabri® saleschange in all indications and geographies. We received royalties of 12% on worldwide Biogen sales of Tysabri® from December 18, 2013 through April 30, 2014. From May 1, 2014, we received royalties of 18% on annual worldwide Biogen sales of Tysabri® up to $2.0 billion and 25% on annual sales above $2.0 billion.

We accounted for the Tysabri® royalty stream as a financial asset and elected to use the fair value option model. We made the election to account for the Tysabri® financial asset using the fair value option as we believed this method was most appropriate for an asset that did not have a par value, a stated interest stream, or a termination date. The financial asset acquired represented a single unit of accounting. The fair value of the financial asset acquired was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis related to the expected probability weighted future cash flows to be generated by the royalty stream. The financial asset was classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy, as our valuation utilized significant unobservable inputs, including industry analyst estimates for global Tysabri® sales, probability weighted as to the timing and amount of future cash flows along with certain discount rate assumptions. Cash flow forecasts included the estimated effect and timing of future competition, considering patents in effect for Tysabri® through 2024 and contractual rights to receive cash flows into perpetuity. The discounted cash flows were based upon the expected royalty stream forecasted into perpetuity using a 20-year discrete period with a declining rate terminal value.

In the first quarter of 2016, a competitor's pipeline product, Ocrevus®, received breakthrough therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Breakthrough therapy designation is granted when a drug is intended alone or in combination with one or more other drugs to treat a serious or life threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. In June 2016, the FDA granted priority review with a target action date in December 2016. A priority review is a designation when the FDA will direct overall attention and resources to the evaluation of applications for drugs that, if approved, would be significant improvements in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of serious conditions when compared to standard applications. The product was approved late in the first quarter of 2017. The product is expected to compete with Tysabri®, and we expected it to have a significant negative impact on the Tysabri® royalty stream. Industry analysts believe that, based on released clinical study information, Ocrevus® will compete favorably against Tysabri® in the relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis market segment due to its high efficacy and convenient dosage form.
Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 6


Given the new market information for Ocrevus®, we used industry analyst estimates to reduce our first ten year growth forecasts from an average of growth of approximately 3.4% in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 to an average decline of approximately minus 2.0% in the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2016. In November 2016, we announced we were evaluating strategic alternatives for the Tysabri® asset. As of December 31, 2016, the financial asset was adjusted based on the strategic review and sale process. These effects, combined with the change in discount rate each quarter, led to a reduction in fair value of $204.4 million, $910.8 million, $377.4 million and $1.1 billion in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively.

On March 27, 2017, we announced the completed divestment of our Tysabri® financial asset to Royalty Pharma for up to $2.85 billion, which consists of $2.2 billion in cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in milestone payments if the royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma meet specific thresholds in 2018 and 2020, respectively. As a result of this transaction, we transferred the entire financial asset to Royalty Pharma and recorded a $17.1 million gain during the three months ended July 1, 2017. We elected to account for the contingent milestone payments using the fair(in millions):

We value option method, and these were recorded at an estimated fair value of $143.2 million as of September 30, 2017. We chose the fair value option as we believe it will help investors understand the potential future cash flows we may receive associated with the two contingent milestones.

We valued theour contingent milestone payments from Royalty Pharma using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma over time until payment of the contingent milestone payments is completed.milestones are resolved. Volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones have a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. In the valuation of contingent milestone payments performed, we assumed volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.05% as of July 1, 2017 and volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.06% as of September 30, 2017. We assess volatility and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying projected royalties.

The fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment increased by $5.5 million and $15.9 million during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 29, 2019, respectively. These adjustments were driven by higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out. The fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments increased by $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017,2018. This increase included a $2.9 million decrease in the fair value of the 2018 contingent milestone payment, more than offset by a $3.5 million increase in the fair value of the 2020 contingent milestone payment. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments decreased $2.9 million and $42.1 million, respectively, as a result$9.0 million. The net changes in the fair value of the decrease in the estimated projected Tysabri® revenuescontingent milestone payments were due to the fluctuation of the projected global net sales of Tysabri®, which were impacted by competition, namely the launch of Ocrevus® late in the first quarterU.S. and European markets.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration represents milestone payment obligations obtained through product acquisitions, which are valued using estimates based on probability-weighted outcomes, sensitivity analysis, and discount rates reflective of the risk involved. The estimates are updated quarterly and the liabilities are adjusted to fair value depending on a number of assumptions, including the competitive landscape and regulatory approvals that may impact the future sales of a product. We reduced a contingent consideration liability associated with certain IPR&D assets (refer to Note 3) and recorded a corresponding gain of $17.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The liability decrease relates to a reduction of the probability of achievement assumptions and

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets


We have seven reporting units for which we assess goodwill for impairment. We utilize a comparable company market approach, weighted equally with a discounted cash flow analysis, to determineAnimal Health

When determining the fair value of theour animal health reporting units. We utilize either a relief from royalty method or a multi-period excess earnings method ("MPEEM") to value our indefinite-lived intangible assets, and use a consistent set of projected financial information for the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment tests. The discounted cash flow analysis that we prepared for goodwill impairment testing purposesunit for the year ended December 31, 2016 included long-term growth rates ranging from 2.0% to 3.0%. We also2018, we utilized discount rates ranging from 7.0% to 14.5%, which werea combination of comparable company market and discounted cash flow techniques. In our comparable company market approach, we considered observable market information and transactions for companies that we deemed to be commensurateof a comparable nature, scope, and size of animal health (Level 2 inputs). Our cash flow projections included revenue assumptions related to new products, product line extensions, and existing products, plus gross margin, advertising and promotion, and other operating expenses based on the growth plans (Level 3 inputs). In our discounted cash flow analysis, we utilized projected sales growth rate and discount rate assumptions of 2.5% and 9.8%, respectively. The discount rate correlates with the required investment return and risk involved in realizingthat we believe market participants would apply to the projected free cash flows of each reporting unit.growth rate. In addition, we burdened projected free cash flows with the capital spending deemed necessary to support the cash flows of each reporting unit, and applied the jurisdictional tax ratesrate of 22.8%. We weighted indications of fair value resulting from the market approach and present value techniques, considering the reasonableness of the range of measurements and the point within the range that were applicable to the jurisdictions represented within each reporting unit.

NOTE 8 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

We classify assets as "held for Sale Securities
Our availablesale" when, among other factors, management approves and commits to a formal plan of sale with the expectation the sale will be completed within one year. The net assets of the business held for sale securities are then recorded at the lower of their current carrying value and the fair market value, less costs to sell.

During the three months ended June 29, 2019, management committed to a plan to sell our animal health business; as a result, such assets were classified as held-for-sale. On July 8, 2019, we completed the sale of our animal health business (refer to Note 18). The assets associated with our animal health business were reported in our CSCA segment.

The assets held-for-sale were reported within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. Unrealized investment gains/(losses) on available for sale securitiesassets and liabilities held-for-sale were as followsreported in Accrued liabilities. The amounts consisted of the following (in millions):

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 7



We have evaluated the near-term prospects of the equity securities in relation to the severity and duration of any impairments, and based on that evaluation, we have the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold a number of our investment securities and recorded a gain of $1.6 million. The gain was reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss) ("AOCI") and into earnings.     

Cost Method Investments

Our cost method investments totaled $7.2 million and $6.9 million at September 30, 2017 and
December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in Other non-current assets.

Equity Method Investments

Our equity method investments totaled$4.8 million and $4.6 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in Other non-current assets. We recorded net losses of $0.1 million and net gains of $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and net gains of $0.1 million and net losses of $3.8 million during the three and nine months endedOctober 1, 2016, respectively, for our proportionate share of the equity method investment earnings or losses. The gains and losses were recorded in Other (income) expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the nine months ended October 1, 2016, one of our equity method investments became publicly traded. As a result, we transferred the $15.5 million investment to available for sale and recorded an $8.7 million unrealized gain, net of tax in Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI"). In addition, due to significant and prolonged losses incurred on one of our equity method investments, we recorded a $22.3 million impairment charge in Other (income) expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We enter into certain derivative financial instruments, when available on a cost-effective basis, to mitigate our risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as follows:

Interest rate risk management - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our cash investments and borrowings. We utilize a variety of strategies to manage the impact of changes in interest rates, including using a mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. In addition, we may enter into treasury-lock agreements and interest rate swap agreements on certain investing and borrowing transactions to manage our exposure to interest rate changes and our overall cost of borrowing.

Foreign currency exchange risk management - We conduct business in several major currencies other than the U.S. dollar and are subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. Our objective is to reduce cash flow volatility associated with foreign exchange rate changes on a consolidated basis to allow management to focus its attention on business operations. Accordingly, we enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of existing foreign currency assets and liabilities, commitments, and anticipated foreign currency sales and expenses.
All derivative instruments are managed on a consolidated basis to efficiently net exposures and thus take advantage of any natural offsets. Gains and losses related to the derivative instruments are expected to be offset largely by gains and losses on the original underlying asset or liability. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

     All of our designated derivatives were classified as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Designated derivatives meet hedge accounting criteria, which means the fair value of the hedge is recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of OCI, net of tax. The deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change
Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 8


in fair value of the derivative is immediately recognized in earnings. All of our designated derivatives are assessed for hedge effectiveness quarterly.

We also have economic non-designated derivatives that do not meet hedge accounting criteria. These derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings. Gains or losses on these instruments are offset substantially by the remeasurement adjustment on the hedged item.    

Interest Rate Swaps and Treasury Locks

Interest rate swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed rate payments (or vice versa) over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

During the three months ended July 1, 2017, we repaid $584.4 million of senior notes with an interest rate of 4.000% due 2023 and $309.5 million of senior notes with an interest rate of 5.300% due 2043 (refer to Note 10). As a result of the senior note repayments on June 15, 2017, the proportionate amount remaining in OCI related to the pre-issuance hedge was reclassified to earnings. Accordingly, we recorded a loss of $5.9 million in Other expense, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended July 1, 2017 for the amount remaining in OCI.

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, we entered into a forward interest rate swap to hedge against changes in the benchmark interest rate between the date the interest rate swap was entered into and the date of expected future debt issuance. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and had a notional amount totaling $200.0 million. The interest rate swap was settled upon the issuance of an aggregate $1.2 billion principal amount of senior notes on March 7, 2016 for a cumulative after-tax loss of $7.0 million in OCI during the three months ended April 2, 2016.
Foreign Currency Derivatives

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, both designated and non-designated, in order to manage the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on expected future purchases and related payables denominated in a foreign currency, as well as to hedge the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on expected future sales and related receivables denominated in a foreign currency. Both types of forward contracts have a maximum maturity date of 18 months. The total notional amount for these contracts was $578.3 million and $533.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

We recorded an impairment charge totaling $6.3 million duringOn January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12 Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities ("ASU 2017-12") using a modified retrospective approach. Among other provisions, the year ended December 31, 2016 after determining the carrying value of the India API business exceeded its fair value less the costnew standard required modifications to sell. The India API business is reported in our Other segment. On April 6, 2017, we completed the sale of our India API business (refer to Note 2).

As such, certain disclosures for the three and six months ended October 1, 2016, management committedJune 30, 2018 below conform to a planthe disclosure requirements prior to sell certain fixed assets associated with our animal health pet treats plant. Such assetsthe adoption of ASU 2017-12.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-12, we were classified as held-for-sale beginning at October 1, 2016. On February 1, 2017, we completedrequired to separately measure and reflect the sale of our animal health pet treats plant fixed assets (refer to Note 2). We determined thatamount by which the carrying value ofhedging instrument did not offset the fixed assets associated with our animal health pet treats plant exceededchanges in the fair value lessor cash flows of hedged items, which was referred to as the costineffective amount. We assessed hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis and recorded the gain or loss related to sell. Wethe ineffective portion of derivative instruments, if any, in Other (income) expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pursuant to the provisions of ASU 2017-12, we are no longer required to separately measure and recognize hedge ineffectiveness. Therefore, we no longer recognize hedge ineffectiveness separately on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, but instead recognize the entire change in the fair value of:

Cash flow hedges included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness in OCI. The amounts recorded impairment charges totaling $3.7 million duringin OCI will subsequently be reclassified to earnings in the year ended December 31, 2016. The assets associated with our animal health pet treats plant are reportedsame line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as impacted by the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings; and

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, management committedassessment of hedge effectiveness in the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations that is used to a plan to sell our Israel API business. The business was classified as held-for-sale beginning at September 30, 2017. We determined thatpresent the carrying valueearnings effect of the Israel API business exceeded its fair value lesshedged item.

Prior to the cost to sell.adoption of ASU 2017-12, we excluded option premiums and forward points (excluded components) from our assessment of hedge effectiveness for our foreign exchange cash flow hedges. We recorded impairment charges totaling $3.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Israel API business is reported in our Other segment.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 9






recognized all changes in fair value of the excluded components in Other (income) expense, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets held-for-saleamendments in ASU 2017-12 continue to allow those components to be excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and add cross-currency basis spread as an allowable excluded component. The provisions of ASU 2017-12 allow a policy election to either continue to recognize changes in the fair value of the excluded components currently in earnings or to recognize the initial value of the excluded component using an amortization approach. We have elected to recognize the initial value of the excluded component on a straight-line basis over the life of the derivative instrument, within the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. The cumulative effect adjustment between Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and Retained earnings (accumulated deficit) from applying this policy on existing hedges at the date of adoption was immaterial.

We record derivative instruments on the balance sheet on a gross basis as either an asset or liability measured at fair value (refer to Note 6). Additionally, changes in a derivative's fair value, which are reportedmeasured at the end of each period, are recognized in earnings unless a derivative can be designated in a qualifying hedging relationship.

Designated derivatives meet hedge accounting criteria, which means the fair value of the hedge is recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of OCI, net of tax. The deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. We have elected to recognize the fair value of the excluded component in OCI and amortize on a straight-line basis over the life of the derivative instrument, within Prepaid expensesthe same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item.All of our designated derivatives are assessed for hedge effectiveness quarterly. All of our designated derivatives were classified as cash flow hedges as of June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

We also have economic non-designated derivatives that do not meet hedge accounting criteria. These derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings. Gains or losses on these instruments are offset substantially by the remeasurement adjustment on the hedged item.

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties on derivative contracts. It is our policy to manage our credit risk on these transactions by dealing only with financial institutions having a long-term credit rating of "Aa3" or better and by distributing the contracts among several financial institutions to diversify credit concentration risk. Should a counterparty default, our maximum exposure to loss is the asset balance of the instrument. The maximum term of our forward currency exchange contracts is 18 months.

We enter into certain derivative financial instruments, when available on a cost-effective basis, to mitigate our risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as follows:

Interest rate risk management - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our cash investments and borrowings. We utilize a variety of strategies to manage the impact of changes in interest rates including using a mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt.

The impact of gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments related to changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally offset by net foreign exchange gains and losses, which are also included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in Other (income) expense, net for all periods presented. When we enter into foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate the impact of exchange rate volatility in the translation of foreign earnings, gains and losses will generally be offset by fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar-translated amounts of each Income Statement account in current and/or future periods.

NOTE 10 – INDEBTEDNESSLEASES


We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the effective date. The financial results reported in periods prior to 2019 are unchanged. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in additional operating lease liabilities and lease assets, including  the transition of existing capital lease liabilities and lease assets to finance classification, of approximately $166.5 million and $164.0 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities partially related to existing deferred lease liabilities reclassified to lease assets and the transition of capital lease assets and liabilities at their carrying values. In addition, historical build-to-suit assets and liabilities were removed on transition and recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings, net of deferred tax impact. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net income or cash flow classification.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 10


We lease certain office buildings, warehouse facilities, vehicles, and plant, office, and computer equipment. Lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
We evaluate arrangements at inception to determine if lease components are included. An arrangement includes a lease component if it identifies an asset and we have control over the asset. For new leases beginning January 1, 2019 or later, we have elected for all asset classes not to separate lease components from the non-lease components included in an arrangement when measuring the leased asset and leased liability.

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We apply the portfolio approach to certain groups of computer equipment and vehicle leases when the term, classification, and asset type are identical. The discount rate selected is the incremental borrowing rate we would obtain for a secured financing of the lease asset over a similar term.

Many of our leases include one or more options to extend the lease term. Certain leases also include options to terminate early or purchase the leased property, all of which are executed at our sole discretion. Optional periods may be included in the lease term and measured as part of the lease asset and lease liability if we are reasonably certain to exercise our right to use the leased asset during the optional periods. We generally consider renewal options to be reasonably certain of execution and included in the lease term when significant leasehold improvements have been made by us to the leased assets. The depreciable lives of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

Certain of our lease agreements include contingent rental payments based on per unit usage over contractual levels (e.g., miles driven or machine hours used) and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for market reviews or inflationary indexes. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Our tax rate is subjectthe prior year period due primarily to adjustment over the balance of the fiscal year due to, among other things: the jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the valuationjurisdictional mix of our deferredpre-tax book income and a $27.8 million reduction in pre-tax income due to an impairment charge related to a definite-lived intangible asset.

On October 31, 2018, we received an audit finding letter from the Irish Office of the applicable transfer pricing standards; changes in available tax credits, grants and other incentives; changes in stock-based compensation expense; changes in tax laws orRevenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) for the interpretation of such tax laws (for example, proposals for fundamental U.S. international tax reform); changes in U.S. GAAP; and expiration of or the inability to renew tax rulings or tax holiday incentives.

The total liability for uncertain tax positions was $454.9 million and $398.0 million as of September 30, 2017years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2016, respectively, before considering2013. The audit finding letter relates to the federal tax benefittreatment of certain statethe 2013 sale of the Tysabri® intellectual property and local items.

We recognize interest and penaltiesother assets related to uncertainTysabri® to Biogen Idec from Elan Pharma. The consideration paid by Biogen to Elan Pharma took the form of an upfront payment and future contingent royalty payments. Irish Revenue issued a Notice of Amended Assessment (“NoA”) on November 29, 2018 which assesses an Irish corporation tax positionsliability against Elan Pharma in the amount of €1,636 million, not including interest or any applicable penalties. We disagree with this assessment and believe that the NoA is without merit and incorrect as a componentmatter of income tax expense.law. We filed an appeal of the NoA on December 27, 2018 and will pursue all available administrative and judicial avenues as may be necessary or appropriate. As part of this strategy to pursue all available administrative and judicial avenues, Elan Pharma was, on February 25, 2019, granted leave by the Irish High Court to seek judicial review of the issuance of the NoA by Irish Revenue. The total amount accrued for interestjudicial review filing is based on our belief that Elan Pharma's legitimate expectations as a taxpayer have been breached, not on the merits of the NoA itself. The High Court has scheduled a hearing in this judicial review proceeding in April 2020, and penaltieswe would expect a decision in this matter in the liability for uncertain tax positions was $79.0 millionsecond half of 2020. If we are ultimately successful in the judicial review proceedings the NoA will be invalidated and $63.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.Irish Revenue will not be able to re-issue the NoA. The proceedings before the Tax Appeals Commission have been stayed until a decision on the judicial review application has been made.

We file income tax returns in numerous jurisdictions and are therefore subject to audits by tax authorities. Our primary income tax jurisdictions are Ireland, the United States, Israel, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom.

On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to recover $163.6 million of Federal income tax, penalties, and interest assessed and collected by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”),IRS, plus statutory interest thereon from the dates of payment, for the fiscal years ended June 27, 2009, June 26, 2010, June 25, 2011, and June 30, 2012 (the “2009 tax year,” “2010 tax year,” “2011 tax year,” and “2012 tax year,” respectively). The IRS audits of those years culminated in the issuances of two statutory notices of deficiency: (1) on August 27, 2014 for the 2009 and 2010 tax years and (2) on April 20, 2017 for the 2011 and 2012 tax years. The statutory notices of deficiency both included un-agreed income adjustments related principally to transfer pricing adjustments regarding the purchase, distribution, and sale of store-brand OTC pharmaceutical products in the

United States. In addition, the statutory notice of deficiency for the 2011 and 2012 tax years included the capitalization of certain expenses that were deducted when paid or incurred in defending

against certain patent infringement lawsuits. We fully paid the assessed amounts of tax, interest, and penalties set forth in the statutory notices and filed timely claims for refund on June 11, 2015 and June 7, 2017 for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. Our claims for refund were disallowed by certified letters dated August 18, 2015 and July 11, 2017, for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. The complaint was timely, based upon the refund claim denials, and seeks refunds of tax, interest, and penalties of $37.2 million for the 2009 tax year, $61.5 million for the 2010 tax year, $40.2 million for the 2011 tax year, and $24.7 million for the 2012 tax year. The amounts sought in the complaint for the 2009 and 2010 tax years were recorded as deferred charges in Other non-current assets on our balance sheet during the three months ended March 28, 2015, and the amounts sought in the complaint for the 2011 and 2012 tax years were recorded as deferred charges in Other non-current assets on our balance sheet during the three months ended July 1, 2017. The cumulative deferred charge as recorded on the balance sheet is $29.7 million lower than the amounts reflected above due to overpayments credited to succeeding years, such that the actual refund the company is seeking to receive will be reduced by that amount. In addition, we recently conceded a royalty due to Perrigo U.S. on all omeprazole sales that equates to a 24% of our refund claims and any omeprazole adjustments that may be asserted by the IRS for future years.


On July 11, 2017, we received a draft Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) associated with transfer pricing positions for the IRS audit of Athena Neurosciences, Inc. (“Athena”), a subsidiary of Elan acquired in 1996, for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. Athena was the originator of the patents associated with Tysabri® prior to the acquisition of Athena by Elan in 1996. The draft NOPA asserted that when Elan took over the future funding of Athena’s in-process R&D in 1996, after it acquired Athena in 1996, it should have paid a substantially higher royalty rate for the right to exploit Athena’s intellectual property, rather than rates based on transfer pricing documentation prepared by Elan's external tax advisors. In response to the draft NOPA, we provided the IRS with substantial additional documentation supporting our position. On April 26, 2019, we received a revised NOPA from the IRS regarding transfer pricing positions related to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The NOPA carries forward the theory from a 2017 draft NOPA. The revised NOPA proposes a payment of $843.0 million, which represents additional tax and a 40.0% penalty. This amount excludes consideration of offsetting tax attributes and potentially material interest. We strongly disagree with the IRS position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including potentially those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. No payment of the additional amounts is required until the matter is resolved administratively, judicially, or through treaty negotiation.

On December 22, 2016, we received a notice of proposed adjustment for the IRS audit of Athena Neurosciences, Inc. (“Athena”), a subsidiary of Elan acquired in 1996, for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. Perrigo acquired Elan in December 2013. This proposed adjustment relates to the deductibility of litigation costs. We disagree with the IRS’s position asserted in the notice of proposed adjustment and intend to contest it.

On July 11, 2017, we received a draft notice of proposed adjustment associated with transfer pricing positions for the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013.  Athena was the originator of the patents associated with Tysabri® prior to the acquisition of Athena by Elan in 1996. The amount of adjustments that may be asserted by the IRS in the final notice of proposed adjustment cannot be quantified at this time; however, based on the draft notice received, the amount to be assessed may be material. We disagree with the IRS’s position as asserted in the draft notice of proposed adjustment and intend to contest it.


We have ongoing audits in multiple other jurisdictions the resolution of which remains uncertain. These jurisdictions include, but are not limited to, the United States, IsraelIreland and France.other jurisdictions in Europe. In addition to the matters discussed above, the IRS is currently auditing our fiscal years ended June 29, 2013, June 28, 2014, and June 27, 2015.2015 (which covers the period of the Elan transaction).

NOTE 1415 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


In view of the inherent difficulties of predicting the outcome of various types of legal proceedings, we cannot determine the ultimate resolution of the matters described below. We establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters when losses associated with the claims become probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for those matters. For matters where the likelihood or extent of a loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated as of September 30, 2017,June 29, 2019, we have not recorded a loss reserve. If certain of these matters are determined against us, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently believe we have valid defenses to the claims in these lawsuits and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously regardless of whether or not we have a loss reserve. Other than what is disclosed below, we do not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to which we are currently subject to, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 

Antitrust Violations
We have been named as a counterclaim co-defendant in the lawsuit Fera Pharmaceuticals, LLC v. Akorn, Inc., et al., in which Akorn, Inc. (“Akorn”) alleges tortious interference and antitrust violations against us and Fera Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Fera”). This litigation arises from our acquisition of bacitracin ophthalmic ointment from Fera in 2013. Akorn asserts claims under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act alleging that we and Fera conspired to monopolize, attempted to monopolize, and did unlawfully monopolize the market for sterile bacitracin ophthalmic ointment in the United States through the use of an exclusive agreement with a supplier of sterile bacitracin active pharmaceutical ingredient. The lawsuit is currently pending in the Southern District of New York. Trial was rescheduled from January 2018 to February 2018. Akorn seeks damages, injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees. Any award of antitrust damages would be subject to trebling under antitrust laws. An estimate of any possible loss cannot be determined at this time.

We believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. We have preserved our indemnification rights against Fera for potential liability, defense costs, and expenses incurred as a result of this litigation.


Price-Fixing Lawsuits


We have been named as a co-defendant with certain other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in a number of casesclass actions alleging that we and other manufacturers of the same product engaged in anti-competitive behavior to fix or raise the prices of certain drugs and/or allocate customers starting, in some instances, as early as June 2013. The class actions were filed on behalf of putative classes of (a) direct purchasers, (b) end payors, and (c) indirect resellers. The products in question are Clobetasol gel, Desonide, and Econazole. TheseThe same class plaintiffs have filed complaints naming us as a co-defendant, along with 27 other manufacturers, alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix or raise the prices of 15 generic prescription pharmaceutical products starting in 2011. Perrigo manufactures only two of the products at issue, Nystatin cream and Nystatin ointment.

We have also been named a co-defendant along with 35 other manufacturers in a complaint filed by three supermarket chains alleging that defendants conspired to fix prices of 31 generic prescription pharmaceutical products starting in 2013. The only allegations specific to us relate to Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, Nystatin cream, and Nystatin ointment.

On August 3, 2018, a large managed care organization filed a complaint against us alleging price-fixing and customer allocation concerning 17 different products among 27 manufacturers including Perrigo. The only allegations specific to us concern Clobetasol gel, Desonide, Econazole, Nystatin cream, and Nystatin ointment.

Most recently, on January 16, 2019, a similar suit was brought by a health insurance carrier in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging aconspiracy to fix prices of 30 products among 30 defendants. The only allegations specific to us concern Clobetasol gel, Desonide, Econazole, Nystatin cream, and Nystatin ointment.

Certain complaints listed above were amended in December 2017, January 2018, and April 2019. All of the above complaints have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings, along with complaints filed against other companies alleging price fixing with respect to 15more than two dozen other drugs, have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings as part of a case captioned In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2724. 2724 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Pursuant to the court’s schedule staging various cases in phases, we have moved to dismiss the complaints relating to Clobetasol and Econazole. The court issued a decision denying the motions in part in October 2018 and issued a second decision in February 2019 dismissing various state law claims, but allowing other state law claims to proceed. We filed answers to the Clobetasol gel complaints on December 31, 2018. We filed answers to the Desonide and Econazole complaints on March 15, 2019.

Motions to dismiss certain other complaints listed above were filed on February 21, 2019. Plaintiffs’ oppositions were due on May 2, 2019 and defendants’ replies were filed on June 13, 2019. Certain deposition discovery is allowed to proceed as of the court’s July 15, 2019 order in all cases and documentary discovery is also proceeding. At this stage, we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the liability, if any, associated with these claims.

Securities Litigation
 
In the United States (cases related to events in 2015-2017)


On May 18, 2016, a shareholder filed a securities case against us and our former CEO, Joseph Papa, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (Roofers’ Pension Fund v. Papa, et al.). The plaintiff purported to represent a class of shareholders for the period from April 21, 2015 through May 11, 2016, inclusive. The original complaint alleged violations of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against both defendants and 20(a) control person liability against Mr. Papa. In general, the allegations concerned the actions taken by us and the former executive to defend against the unsolicited takeover bid by Mylan in the period from April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015. The plaintiff also alleged that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure concerning alleged integration problems related to the Omega acquisition in the period from April 21, 2015 through May 11, 2016. On July 19, 2016, a different shareholder filed a securities class action against us and our former CEO, Joseph Papa, also in the District of New Jersey (Wilson v. Papa, et al.). The plaintiff purported to represent a class of persons who sold put options on our shares between April 21, 2015 and May 11, 2016. In general, the allegations and the claims were the same as those made in the original complaint filed in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. On December 8, 2016, the court consolidated the Roofers' Pension Fund case and the Wilson case under the Roofers' Pension Fund case number. In February 2017, the court selected the lead plaintiffs for the consolidated case and the lead counsel to the putative class. In March 2017, the court entered a scheduling order.


On June 21, 2017, the court-appointed lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that superseded the original complaints in theRoofers’ Pension Fund case and the Wilson case. TheIn the amended complaint, the lead plaintiffs seek to represent a classthree classes of shareholders for- shareholders who purchased shares during the period April 21, 2015 through May 3, 2017 and identifies three subclasses - shareholders who traded during the entire period on the U.S. exchanges; shareholders who tradedpurchased shares during the entiresame period on the Tel Aviv exchange; and shareholders who traded during the period whileowned shares on November 12, 2015 and held such stock through at least 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 2015 (the final day of the Mylan tender offer was pending (April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015).offer) regardless of whether the shareholders tendered their shares. The amended complaint names as defendants us and 11 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo (Mses. Judy Brown, Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, and Messrs. Joe Papa, Marc Coucke, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, and Donal O’Connor). The amended complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants and 20(a) control person liability against the 11 individuals. In general, the allegations concern the actions taken by us and the former executives to defend against the unsolicited takeover bid by Mylan in the period from April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015 and the allegedly inadequate disclosure throughout the entire class period related to purported integration problems related to the Omega acquisition, alleges incorrect reporting of organic growth at the Company and at Omega, alleges price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleges improper accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream.

The court also dismissed without prejudice claims arising from the Tysabri® accounting issue described above and claims alleging incorrect disclosure of organic growth described above. The defendants who were not dismissed are Perrigo Company plc, Joe Papa, and Judy Brown. The claims (described above) that were not dismissed relate to the integration issues regarding the Omega acquisition and the alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals. The defendants who remain in the case (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) have filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of litigation has not indicated whether there will be oral argument of the motions or whether the court will decide the motions on the papers.begun.

On November 1, 2017, Carmignac Gestion, S.A., filed a securities lawsuit against us and three individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa, former CFO Judy Brown, and former Executive Vice President and Board member Marc Coucke). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Carmignac Gestion, S.A. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5), 14(e), and 18 against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through April 2016. Plaintiff contends that the defendants provided

inadequate disclosure throughout the period concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, our reporting about the generic prescription pharmaceutical business and its prospects, and the activities surrounding the efforts to defeat the Mylan tender offer during 2015. Many of the allegations in this newly-filed case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above) the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. Because this plaintiff made some factual allegations that were not asserted in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case. On July 31, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The case is now in the discovery phase. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.


On January 16, 2018, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC filed a securities lawsuit against us and three individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa, former CFO Judy Brown, and former Executive Vice President and Board member Marc Coucke). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5) and 18 against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiff contends that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. Many of the allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above) the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed.

On January 26, 2018, two different plaintiff groups (the Mason Capital group and the Pentwater group) each filed a lawsuit against us and the same individuals who are defendants in the amended complaint in the securities class action case described above (Roofers’ Pension Fund case). The same law firm represents these two plaintiff groups, and the two complaints are substantially similar. These two cases are not securities class actions. One case is styled Mason Capital L.P., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The other case is styled Pentwater Equity Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., et al.  v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and also was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Both cases are assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the class action case and the other individual cases described above (Carmignac and Manning & Napier). Each complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 14(e) (related to tender offer disclosures) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs' allegations describe events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer period in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. Many of the factual allegations in these two cases overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above and the allegations in the Carmignac case described above.

On February 13, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with Harel Insurance Investments & Financial Services, Ltd. filed a lawsuit against us and the same individuals who are defendants in the amended complaint in the securities class action case described above (Roofers’ Pension Fund case). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The new complaint is substantially similar to the amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case. The relevant period in the new complaint stretches from February 2014 to May 2, 2017. The complaint adds as defendants two individuals who served on our Board prior to 2016. The case is styled Harel Insurance Company, Ltd., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the class action cases and the four other individual cases described above (Carmignac, Manning & Napier, Mason Capital, and Pentwater). The Harel Insurance Company complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and related SEC Rule 10b‑5) and section 14(e) (related to tender offer disclosures) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. The complaint also asserts claims based on Israeli securities laws. In general, the plaintiffs' allegations describe events during the period from February 2014 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer events in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset from February 2014 until the withdrawal of past financial statements in April 2017. Many of the factual allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above and the allegations in the four opt out cases also described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the litigation has begun.

On February 16, 2018, First Manhattan Company filed a securities lawsuit against us and three individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa, former CFO Judy Brown, and former Executive Vice President and Board member Marc Coucke). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled First Manhattan Co. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case was assigned to the same judge hearing the class action case and the five other opt out cases. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5), 14(e), and 18 against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiff contends that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. This lawsuit was filed by the same law firm that filed the Manning & Napier Advisors case and the Carmignac case described above and generally makes the same factual assertions as in the Manning & Napier Advisors case. Many of the allegations in this case overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. On April 20, 2018, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint that did not materially change the factual allegations of the original complaint. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. Because this plaintiff made some factual allegations that were not asserted in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case and the remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case.

On April 20, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with TIAA-CREF filed a lawsuit against us and the same individuals who are the defendants in the Harel Insurance case complaint. This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The law firm representing the plaintiffs in the Harel Insurance case also represents the TIAA-CREF plaintiff entities in this case, and the new complaint is substantially similar to the Harel Insurance complaint. The relevant period in the new complaint is August 14, 2014 to May 2, 2017 inclusive. The case is styled TIAA-CREFInvestment Management, LLC., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the class action case and the six other individual cases described above (Carmignac, Manning & Napier, Mason Capital, Pentwater, Harel Insurance,
Perrigo Company plc - Item 1

and First Manhattan). The TIAA-CREFInvestment Management complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and related SEC Rule l0b-5), section 14(e) (related to tender offer disclosures) against all defendants as well as section 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general, plaintiffs' allegations describe events during the period from August 2014 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer events in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset from August 2014 until the withdrawal of past financial statements in April 2017. Many of the factual allegations in this case also overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above) the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to this case and the remaining defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the litigation has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On October 29, 2018, Nationwide Mutual Funds and Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust (both on behalf of several fund series) filed a securities lawsuit against us and two individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa and former CFO Judy Brown). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Nationwide Mutual Funds, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

In general, the plaintiffs' allegations focus on events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017 (including the period of the Mylan tender offer). Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, and alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals. This lawsuit was filed by the same law firm that filed the First Manhattan case, the Manning & Napier Advisors case, and the Carmignac case described above and generally makes the same factual assertions as in the Manning & Napier case. The complaint does not include factual allegations that the Court dismissed in the July 2018 ruling in the Roofer’s Pension Fund case also described above. Many of the allegations in this case also overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed a motion to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in this case. On July 31, 2019, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part. The case is now in the discovery phase. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On November 15, 2018, a group of plaintiff investors affiliated with Westchester Capital Funds filed a lawsuit against us, our former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa and our former CFO Judy Brown.

The factual allegations of the complaint are substantially similar to the factual allegations of the complaints in the Mason Capital and in the Pentwater cases described above. The case is styled WCM Alternative: Event-Drive Fund, et al. v. Perrigo Co., plc, et al., and is filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The WCM case is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the Roofer’s Fund class action case and the eight other individual cases described above. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and SEC Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants as well as 20(a) control person claims against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs’ allegations describe events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer period in 2015 as well us up through May 3, 2017. Plaintiffs identify disclosures concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. Many of the factual allegations in this complaint overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiffs do not provide an estimate of damages. In view of the court’s July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case (described above), the parties to this case conferred about how this case should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in this case. The defendants (the Company, Mr.

The Hudson Bay Fund case is assigned to the same federal judge that is hearing the Roofer’s Fund class action case and the nine other individual cases described above. The complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 14(e) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person claims against the individual defendants. In general, the plaintiffs’ allegations describe events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure during the tender offer period in 2015 and point to disclosures at various times during the period concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset.

On January 31, 2019, Schwab Capital Trust and a variety of other Schwab entities filed a securities lawsuit against us and two individuals (former Chairman and CEO Joseph Papa and former CFO Judy Brown). This lawsuit is not a securities class action. The case is styled Schwab Capital Trust, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case was assigned to the same judge hearing the class action case and the ten other opt out cases.

Plaintiffs contend that the defendants provided inadequate disclosure at various times during the period concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, and alleged price fixing activities with respect to six generic prescription pharmaceuticals. This lawsuit was filed by the same law firm that filed the Carmignac case, the Manning & Napier case, the First Manhattan case, and the Nationwide Mutual Funds case described above and generally makes the same factual assertions as in the Nationwide Mutual Funds case. The complaint does not include factual allegations that the court dismissed in the July 2018 ruling in the Roofer’s Pension Fund case also described above. Many of the allegations in this case also overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofer’s Pension Fund case described above. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. The parties have agreed that the defendants will not have to respond to the complaint until 45 days after the court decides the motion to dismiss pending in the Carmignac, Manning & Napier, First Manhattan, and Nationwide Mutual cases described above. On July 31, 2019, the court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss in the Carmignac and related cases; therefore this case has now also moved into the discovery phase.

The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of damages. The parties agreed that the court's rulings in July 2018 in the Roofer's case (discussed above) and in July 2019 in the Carmignac andother cases (discussed above) will apply to this case as well.The parties agreed to a proposed schedule, which the court approved in July 2019, by which the plaintiffs are participating in the discovery proceedings in the Roofer's Pension Fund case described above and the various individual cases also described above.

In Israel (cases related to events in 2015-2017)


Because our shares are traded on the Tel Aviv exchange under a dual trading arrangement, we are potentially subject to securities litigation in Israel. Three cases are currently pending.were filed; one was voluntarily dismissed in each of 2017 and 2018 and one was stayed in 2018. We are consulting Israeli counsel about our response to these allegations and we intend to defend these casesthis case vigorously.


On May 22, 2016, shareholders filed a securities class action against us and five individual defendants: Our former CEO Mr. Papa, our former Executive Vice President and General Manager of the BCH segment Marc Coucke, our Chief Executive Officer John Hendrickson, our former Board member Gary Kunkle, Jr., and our Board member Laurie Brlas alleging violations of Israeli law in the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa (Schweiger et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.). On June 15, 2016, we filed a motion to stay the case pending the outcome of the securities class action pending in the New Jersey Federal Court. The plaintiffs did not oppose the motion. The Israeli court granted the motion on the same day, and the Schweiger action is stayed. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously when and if the stay is lifted. In October 2017, the Schweiger plaintiffs dismissed their claims without prejudice because of the pendency of another class action case filed in Israel (see discussion below of the Israel Elec. Corp. Employees’ Educ. Fund case). The court approved the voluntary dismissal. 

On March 29, 2017, plaintiff Eyal Keinan commenced an action in the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa asserting securities claims against two defendants: Perrigo and its auditor Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"). The case is styled Keinan v. Perrigo Company plc, et al. The action seeks certification of a class of purchasers of Perrigo shares on the Israeli exchange beginning February 6, 2014. The proposed closing date for the class is not clear from the complaint though it appears to extend into 2017. In general, the plaintiff asserts that we improperly accounted for our stream of royalty income from two drugs: Tysabri® and Prialt. The court filings contend that the alleged improper accounting caused the audited financial results for Perrigo to be incorrect for the six month period ended December 31, 2015, and the years ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 and the other financial data released by us over those years and 2016 to also be inaccurate. The plaintiff maintains that the defendants are liable under Israeli securities law or, in the alternative, under U.S. securities law. The plaintiff indicates an initial, preliminary class damages estimate of 686.0 million NIS (approximately $192.0 million at 1 NIS = $0.28 cent). The response from the defendants is not yet due. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

On June 28, 2017, a plaintiff filed a complaint in Tel Aviv District Court styled Israel Elec. Corp. Employees’ Educ. Fund v. Perrigo Company plc, et al. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of shareholders who traded inpurchased Perrigo stock on the Tel Aviv exchange during the period April 24, 2015 through May 3, 2017.2017 and also a claim for those that owned shares on the final day of the Mylan tender offer (November 13, 2015). The amended complaint names as defendants the Company, EYErnst & Young LLP (the Company’s auditor), and 11 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo (Mses. Judy Brown, Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, and Messrs. Joe Papa, Marc Coucke, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, and Donal O’Connor). The complaint alleges violations under U.S. securities laws of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants and 20(a) control person liability against the 11 individuals or, in the alternative, under Israeli securities laws. In general, the allegations concern the actions taken by us and our former executives to defend against the unsolicited takeover bid by Mylan in the period from April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015 and the allegedly inadequate disclosure concerning purported integration problems related to the Omega acquisition, alleges incorrect reporting of organic growth at the Company, alleges price fixing activities with respect to six

generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleges improper accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream. The plaintiff indicates an initial, preliminary class damages estimate of 2.7 billion NIS (approximately $760.0 million at 1 NIS = $0.28 cent)0.28 cents). After the other two cases filed in Israel were voluntarily dismissed, the plaintiff in this case agreed to stay this case pending the outcome of the Roofers’ Pension Fund case in the U.S. (described above). The Israeli court approved the stay, and this case is now stayed. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.


In the United States (cases related to Irish Tax events)

On July 12, 2017,January 3, 2019, a shareholder filed a complaint against the plaintiffCompany, our CEO Murray Kessler, and our former CFO Ronald Winowiecki in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Masih v. Perrigo Company, et al.). Plaintiff purports to represent a class of shareholders for the period November 8, 2018 through December 20, 2018, inclusive. The complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person liability against the individual defendants. In general the allegations contend that the Company, in its Form 10‑Q filed November 8, 2018, disclosed information about an October 31, 2018 audit finding letter received from Irish tax authorities but failed to disclose enough material information about that letter until December 20, 2018, when we filed a current report on Form 8‑K about Irish tax matters. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of class damages. The Court selected lead plaintiffs and changed the name of the case to In re Perrigo Company plc Sec. Litig. The lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 12, 2019, which named the same defendants, asserted the same class period, and invoked the same Exchange Act sections. The amended complaint generally repeated the allegations of the original complaint with a few additional details and adds that the defendants also failed to timely disclose the Irish tax authorities’ Notice of Amended Assessment received on November 29, 2018. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on May 3, 2019. On May 31, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which asserted a longer class period (March 1, 2018 through December 20, 2018) and added one additional individual defendant, former CEO Uwe Roehrhoff. In general, the second amended complaint contends that Perrigo’s disclosures about the Irish tax audit were inadequate beginning with Perrigo’s 10-K filed on March 1, 2018 through December 20, 2018 and repeats many of the allegations of the April 2019 amended complaint. The second amended complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and SEC Rule 10b-5) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person liability against the three individual defendants. All defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss, and the plaintiffs filed an opposition. The defendants' reply is due in mid-August 2019. At some time thereafter the court will decide the motion. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

In Israel Elec. Corp. Employees’ Educ. Fund(cases related to Irish Tax events)

On December 31, 2018, a shareholder filed an action against the Company, our CEO Murray Kessler, and our former CFO Ronald Winowiecki in Tel Aviv District Court (Baton v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.et. al.). The case filedis a motion to have all three cases pending in Israel either consolidated or the other two cases dismissed so that the Israel Elec. Corp. Educ. Fund plaintiff can proceed as the sole plaintiff. That motion is pending. In October 2017, the Schweiger plaintiffs (see description above) voluntarily dismissed their securities class action without prejudice as part of their response to the motion filed by the Israel Elec. Corp. Educ. Fund plaintiff. A variety of other procedural motions are also pending at this time having to do with the timing of any response by defendants. The court has scheduled an initial conference on November 9, 2017 to address the motion filed by the Israel Elec. Corp. Educ. Fund plaintiff. The court has indicated that other procedural motions will be addressed after it has decided the Israel Elec. Corp. Educ. Fund plaintiff’s motion.

Eltroxin

During October and November 2011, nine applications to certify a class action lawsuit were filed in various courtsbrought in Israel related to Eltroxin, a prescription thyroid medication manufactured by a third partymaking similar factual allegations for the same period as those asserted in the In re Perrigo Company plc Sec. Litig case in New York federal court. This case alleges that persons who invested through the Tel Aviv stock exchange can assert claims under Israeli securities law that will follow the liability principles of Sections 10(b) and distributed in Israel by our subsidiary, Perrigo Israel Agencies Ltd. The respondents included our subsidiaries, Perrigo Israel Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and/or Perrigo Israel Agencies Ltd., the manufacturers20(a) of the product, and various healthcare providers whoU.S. Securities Exchange Act. The plaintiff does not provide healthcare services asan estimate of class damages. We filed a request for a stay, the plaintiff agreed in part, of the compulsory healthcare system in Israel.

One of the applications was dismissed and the remaining eight applications were consolidated into one application. The applications arose fromcourt approved a stay and required the 2011 launch of a reformulated version of Eltroxin in Israel. The consolidated application generally alleges thatparties to update the respondents (a) failed to timely inform patients, pharmacists and physicianscourt about the change in the formulation; and (b) failed to inform physicians about the need to monitor patients taking the new formulation in order to confirm patients were receiving the appropriate dose of the drug. As a result, claimants allege they incurred the following damages: (a) purchases of product that otherwise would not have been madeU.S. proceedings by patients had they been aware of the reformulation; (b) adverse events to some patients resulting from an imbalance of thyroid functions that could have been avoided; and (c) harm resulting from the patients' lack of informed consent prior to the use of the reformulation.

Several hearings on whether or not to certify the consolidated application took place in December 2013 and January 2014. On May 17, 2015, the District Court certified the motion against Perrigo Israel Agencies Ltd. and dismissed it against the remaining respondents, including Perrigo Israel Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

On June 16, 2015, we submitted a motion for permission to appeal the decision to certify to the Israeli Supreme Court together with a motion to stay the proceedings of the class action until the motion for permission to appeal is adjudicated.September 1, 2019. We have filed our statement of defense to the underlying proceedings. The parties are currently engaged in mediation in an attempt to settle the matter. The underlying proceedings have been stayed pending the outcome of the mediation process and, if necessary, a decision on the motion to appeal.

We and our collaborator Biogen are co-defendants in product liability lawsuits arising out of the occurrence of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, a serious brain infection, and serious adverse events, including deaths, which occurred in patients taking Tysabri®. Each co-defendant would be responsible for 50% of losses and expenses arising out of any Tysabri® product liability claims. During calendar year 2016, one case in the U.S. was settled and two others were dismissed with prejudice. In 2017, seven other cases were dismissed with prejudice.

Claim Arising from the Omega Acquisition


On December 16, 2016, we and Perrigo Ireland 2 brought an arbitral claim ("Claim") against Alychlo NV ("Alychlo") and Holdco I BE NV ("Holdco") (together the Sellers)"Sellers") in accordance with clause 26.2 of the Share Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2014 ("SPA") and the rules of the Belgian Centre for Arbitration and

Mediation ("CEPANI"). Our Claim relates to the accuracy and completeness of information about Omega provided by the Sellers as part of the sale process, the withholding of information by the Sellers during that process and breaches of Sellers’ warranties. We are seeking monetary damages from the Sellers. The Sellers served their respective responses to the Claim on February 20, 2017. In its response, Alychlo has asserted a counterclaim for monetary damages contending that we breached a warranty in the SPA and breached the duty of good faith in performing the SPA. Alychlo has recently filed papers seeking permission to introduce an additional counterclaim theory of recovery related to the Irish tax issue recently disclosed by the Company such that if the position of the Irish tax authorities prevails, Alychlo would have a further basis for its counterclaim against Perrigo. The proposed additional counterclaim theory does not appear to increase any damages sought. In June 2019, the Tribunal denied permission for Alychlo to introduce the additional counterclaim and dismissed certain aspects of the original Alychlo counterclaim. There can be no assurance that our Claim will be successful, and the Sellers deny liability for the Claim. WeTo the extent that aspects of Alychlo’s counterclaim survived the Tribunal’s ruling in June 2019, we deny that Alychlo is entitled to any relief (including monetary relief) under the counterclaim.. The arbitration proceedings are confidential as required by the SPA and the rules of the CEPANI.


Other Matters

Our Board of Directors received a shareholder demand letter dated October 30, 2018 relating to the allegations in the securities cases and price fixing lawsuits described above. The letter demands that the Board of Directors initiate an action against certain current and former executives and Board members to recover damages allegedly caused to the Company. In response, the Company reminded the shareholder that any derivative claim can only proceed in accordance with Irish law, the law that governs the Company’s internal affairs. The shareholder has responded that he intends to file a lawsuit asserting derivative claims but has not yet filed a lawsuit.

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Animal health business

On July 8, 2019, we completed the sale of our animal health business to PetIQ for base consideration of$185.0 million, which we estimate will result in a pre-tax gain of $80.0 million to $90.0 million. The final purchase price and gain is subject to customary post-closing adjustments for changes to working capital compared to the target working capital on the closing date and is expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2019.

Generic product acquisition

On July 2, 2019, we purchased the ANDA for a generic gel product used for the treatment of Hemophilus vaginitis for $49.0 million in cash, which we capitalized as a developed product technology intangible asset. We plan to launch the product during the three months ended September 28, 2019 and begin amortizing it over a 20-year useful life. Operating results attributable to the product will be included within our RX segment.

Ranir Global Holdings, LLC

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 18


On July 1, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in Ranir, a privately-held company, for total base consideration of $750.0 million in a debt-free, cash-free transaction. We funded the transaction with cash on hand and borrowings under the 2018 Revolver (refer to Note 11).

Ranir is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is a leading global supplier of private label and branded oral care products. This transaction advances our transformation to a consumer-focused, self-care company while enhancing our position as a global leader in consumer self-care solutions. Ranir operations will be reported in our CSCA segment.

During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, in connection with the acquisition, we incurred $2.2 million of general transaction costs (legal, banking and other professional fees). The amounts were recorded in Administration expenses and were not allocated to the CSCA segment.

We are in the process of gathering significant relevant information needed to complete the valuation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, the initial accounting for the acquisition accounting is incomplete. The provisional acquisition amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the supplemental pro-forma information will be included in our quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2019.

Highlights

On August 9, 2018, we announced a plan to separate our RX business, which, when completed, will enable us to focus on expanding our consumer-facing businesses. We have made significant progress related to the preparations for separation, which may include a possible sale, spin-off, merger or other form of separation. While we remain committed to transforming to a consumer-focused business, we cannot commit to a specific date for the separation. In connection with the proposed separation, we anticipate incurring significant preparation costs, excluding restructuring expenses and transaction costs, in the range of $45.0 million to $80.0 million depending on the final structure of the transaction.

Notice of Proposed Adjustment

On April 26, 2019, we received a revised Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS regarding transfer pricing positions related to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The NOPA carries forward the theory from a 2017 draft NOPA that when Elan took over the future funding of Athena’s in-process Research & Development ("R&D") in 1996, after it acquired Athena in 1996, it should have paid a substantially higher royalty rate for the right to exploit Athena’s intellectual property, rather than rates based on transfer pricing documentation prepared by Elan's external tax advisors. The NOPA proposes a payment of $843.0 million, which represents additional tax and a 40.0% penalty. This amount excludes consideration of offsetting tax attributes and potentially material interest. We strongly disagree with the IRS income position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including potentially those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. No payment of the additional amounts is required until the matter is resolved administratively, judicially, or through treaty negotiation. While we believe our position to be correct, there can be no assurance of an ultimate favorable outcome, and if the matter is resolved unfavorably it could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources (refer to Item 1. Note 14).

The $30.3 million decrease in consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period was due to discontinued products of $6.2 million, lower sales in the CHCA segment, due primarily to the absence of $21.0 million of sales related to the U.S. Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements ("VMS") business, lower sales in the CHCI segment due primarily to the absence of $41.7 million of sales as a result of the cancellation of certain distribution contracts, and lower sales in the RX segment driven by lower net sales of Entocort® in the amount of $10.2 million and pricing pressures across the portfolio. These decreases were partially offset by new product sales of $55.4 million and favorable foreign currency translation of $13.0 million. Consolidated operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased due primarily to the absence of asset impairment charges in the amount of $1.6 billion taken in the prior year period (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

The $286.2 million decrease in consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period was due to discontinued products of $18.4 million, lower sales in the CHCA segment due primarily to the absence of $110.1 million of sales related to the U.S. VMS business, lower sales in the CHCI segment due primarily to the absence of $118.4 million of sales as a result of the cancellation of certain distribution contracts, and lower sales in the RX segment driven by lower net sales of Entocort® in the amount of $61.4 million and pricing pressures across the portfolio. These decreases were partially offset by new product sales

of $155.8 million. Consolidated operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased due primarily to the absence of asset impairment charges in the amount of $2.0 billion taken in the prior year period (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

Further details and analysis of our financial results for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2017 are described below by reporting segment and line item. Refer to the "Unallocated Expenses," "Interest, Other and Change in financial assets (Consolidated)," and "Income Taxes (Consolidated)" sections below for discussions related to our expenses.

Restructuring

On February 21, 2017, we approved a workforce reduction plan as part of a larger cost optimization strategy across the Company. We expect to reduce our global workforce by approximately 750 employees, which includes some actions already taken and 235 employees who have elected to participate in a voluntary early retirement program. This represents a reduction of approximately 14% of our global non-production workforce. The changes to our workforce will vary by country, based on legal requirements and required consultations with works councils and other employee representatives, as appropriate.

In connection with this plan, we estimate that we will recognize total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $55.0 million to $65.0 million, consisting of one-time termination benefits, severance arrangements, and other termination costs. We expect to incur the majority of the remaining charges in 2017, with the balance to be recognized during the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $3.8 million and $54.7 million, respectively, of restructuring expenses due primarily to this cost optimization strategy.

Our cost optimization strategy is expected to yield approximately $130.0 million in savings per annum by mid-2018. This is in addition to the savings that our supply chain organization continues to generate for both our North American and International segments.

CONSUMER HEALTHCARE AMERICAS

Recent Trends and Developments

We continue to experience a reduction in pricing expectations within our CHCA segment, primarily in the cough/cold, animal health, and analgesics categories due to various factors, including increased focus from customers to capture supply chain productivity savings and competition in specific product categories. We expect this pricing environment to continue to impact our CHCA segment for the foreseeable future.

We completed the sale of the animal health pet treats plant fixed assets on February 1, 2017 and received $7.7 million in proceeds (refer to Item 1. Note 2).

CHCI


CONSUMER HEALTHCARE INTERNATIONAL

Recent Trends and Developments

As part of our strategic initiatives, management continues to drive improvements and evaluate the overall cost structures within our CHCI segment in the following ways:

On December 8, 2016, we announced the cancellation of the unprofitable EuroGenerics NV distribution agreement in Belgium. The cancellation, combined with the exit of certain OTC distribution agreements, is expected to reduce net sales by approximately $210.0 million in 2017.

We continue to make progress on our previously announced restructuring plans to right-size the Omega business due to the impact of market dynamics on sales volumes. Management continues to evaluate the overall cost structure relative to current and expected market dynamics. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $3.6 million and $13.2 million of restructuring expense in the CHCI segment, respectively.

Management continues to evaluate the most effective business model for each country, aligning our sales infrastructure and actively integrating sales strategies with promotional programs.

On August 25, 2017, we completed the sale of our Russian business, which was previously classified as held-for-sale, to Alvogen Pharma LLC and Alvogen CEE Kft. The total sale price was €12.7 million ($15.1 million), inclusive of an estimated working capital adjustment, which resulted in an immaterial gain in the segment (refer to Item 1. Note 2).

The combination of these actions is expected to improve the segment's focus on higher value OTC products, reduce selling costs and improve operating margins in the segment.

Recent Trends and Developments

We continue to experience a significant reduction in pricing expectations from historical levels in our RX segment due to industry and competitive pressures. This softness in pricing is attributable to various factors, including increased focus from customers to capture supply chain productivity savings, low raw material commodity pricing, competition in specific products, and consolidation of certain customers. We expect this softness to continue to impact the segment for the foreseeable future, and we are forecasting a high single digit pricing decline in this segment for the year ending December 31, 2017.

On November 10, 2016, we announced that as part of our portfolio review process we are conducting a comprehensive internal evaluation of the RX segment's market position, growth opportunities, and interdependencies with our manufacturing and shared service operations to determine if strategic alternatives should be explored.

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the U.S. market for Entocort® (Budesonide) capsules, including both brand and authorized generic capsules, experienced significant and unexpected increased competition, which reduced our future revenue stream. We expect our net sales in the RX segment for the year ending December 31, 2017 will be negatively impacted by approximately $67.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold various Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") for a total gain of $23.0 million.

The increase of $20.5$37.1 million in unallocated expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in share-based compensation expense of $4.7 million driven primarily by the resignation of certain executives, which had a favorable impact on the prior year period, and an increase of $15.6 million of administrative expenses driven by consulting fees and employee-related expenses.

The increase of $41.7 million in unallocated expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017June 29, 2019 compared to the prior year period was due to ana $23.5 million increase of $26.9 million of administrative expenses driven byin legal and consulting fees and employee-related expenses, $8.8a $4.0 million increase in share-based compensation expense driven primarily by the resignationon-boarding of certain executives, which had a favorable impact onnew executives.

Change in Financial Assets


On December 18, 2013, we acquired Elan, which had a royalty agreement with Biogen Idec Inc. ("Biogen")During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, whereby Biogen conveyed the right to receive royalties that are typically payable on sales revenue generated by the sale, distribution or other use of the drug Tysabri®. Pursuant to the royalty agreement, we were entitled to royalty payments from Biogen based on its Tysabri® sales in all indications and geographies. We received royalties of 12% on worldwide Biogen sales of Tysabri® from December 18, 2013 through April 30, 2014. From May 1, 2014, we received royalties of 18% on annual worldwide Biogen sales of Tysabri® up to $2.0 billion and 25% on annual sales above $2.0 billion.

We accounted for the Tysabri® royalty stream as a financial asset and elected to use the fair value option model. We madeof the election to account forRoyalty Pharma contingent milestone payments increased $5.5 million and $15.9 million, respectively. These increases were driven by higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® and the Tysabri® financial asset usingestimated probability of achieving the fair value option as we believed this method was most appropriate for an asset that did not have a par value, a stated interest stream, or a termination date. The financial asset acquired represented a single unit of accounting.earn-out. The fair value of the financial asset acquired was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis related to the expected probability weighted future cash flows to be generated by the royalty stream. The financial asset was classified as a Level 3 asset within the fair value hierarchy, as our valuation utilized significant unobservable inputs, including industry analyst estimates for global Tysabri® sales, probability weighted as to the timing and amount of future cash flows along with certain discount rate assumptions. Cash flow forecasts included the estimated effect and timing of future competition, considering patents in effect for Tysabri® through 2024 and contractual rights to receive cash flows into perpetuity. The discounted cash flows were based upon the expected royalty stream forecasted into perpetuity using a 20-year discrete period with a declining rate terminal value.

In the first quarter of 2016, a competitor's pipeline product, Ocrevus®, received breakthrough therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Breakthrough therapy designation is granted when a drug is intended alone or in combination with one or more other drugs to treat a serious or life threatening disease or condition and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. In June 2016, the FDA granted priority review with a target action date in December 2016. A priority review is a designation when the FDA will direct overall attention and resources to the evaluation of applications for drugs that, if approved, would be significant improvements in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of serious conditions when compared to standard applications. The product was approved late in the first quarter of 2017. The product is expected to compete with Tysabri®, and we expected it to have a significant negative impact on the Tysabri® royalty stream. Industry analysts believe that, based on released clinical study information, Ocrevus® will compete favorably against Tysabri® in the relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis market segment due to its high efficacy and convenient dosage form.

Given the new market information for Ocrevus®, we used industry analyst estimates to reduce our first ten year growth forecasts from an average of growth of approximately 3.4% in the fourth calendar quarter of 2015 to an average decline of approximately minus 2.0% in the third and fourth calendar quarters of 2016. In November 2016, we announced we were evaluating strategic alternatives for the Tysabri® asset. As of December 31, 2016, the financial asset was adjusted based on the strategic review and sale process. These effects, combined with the change in discount rate each quarter, led to a reduction in fair value of $204.4 million, $910.8 million, $377.4 million and $1.1 billion in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively.

On March 27, 2017, we announced the completed divestment of our Tysabri® financial asset to Royalty Pharma for up to $2.85 billion, which consists of $2.2 billion in cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in
Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Unallocated, Interest, Other, and Taxes


contingent milestone payments if the royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are receivedincreased by Royalty Pharma meet specific thresholds in 2018 and 2020, respectively. As a result of this transaction, we transferred the entire financial asset to Royalty Pharma and recorded a $17.1$0.6 million gain during the three months ended July 1, 2017. We elected to account for the contingent milestone payments using the fair value option method, and these were recorded at an estimated fair value of $143.2June 30, 2018. This increase included a $2.9 million as of September 30, 2017. We chose the fair value option as we believe it will help investors understand the potential future cash flows we may receive associated with the two contingent milestones.

We valued the contingent milestone payments using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputsdecrease in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma over time until payment of the contingent milestone payments is completed. Volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones have2018 contingent milestone payment, more than offset by a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated$3.5 million increase in the fair value of the 2020 contingent milestone payments. In the valuation of contingent milestone payments performed, we assumed volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.05% as of July 1, 2017 and a volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.06% as of September 30, 2017. We assess volatility and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying projected royalties.payment. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments decreased $2.9 million and $42.1 million, respectively, as a result$9.0 million. The net changes in the fair value of the decrease in the estimated projected Tysabri® revenuescontingent milestone payments were due to the fluctuation of the projected global net sales of Tysabri®, which were impacted by competition, namely the launch of Ocrevus® late in the first quarterU.S. and European markets.

In order for us to receive the 2020 milestone payment of 2017$400.0 million, Royalty Pharma contingent payments for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. In 2018, the Royalty Pharma contingent payments for Tysabri® were $337.5 million, which exceeded the threshold. If Royalty Pharma contingent payments for Tysabri® sales do not meet the prescribed threshold in 2020, we will write off the $89.1 million asset as an expense. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded, we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of $310.9 million in Change in financial assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaint in the United States District Courtrate for the Western District of Michigan to recover $163.6 million of Federal income tax, penalties, and interest assessed and collected by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), plus statutory interest thereon from the dates of payment, for the fiscal years ended June 27, 2009, June 26, 2010, June 25, 2011, and June 30, 2012 (the “2009 tax year,” “2010 tax year,” “2011 tax year,” and “2012 tax year,” respectively). The IRS audits of those years culminated in the issuances of two statutory notices of deficiency: (1) on August 27, 2014 for the 2009 and 2010 tax years and (2) on April 20, 2017 for the 2011 and 2012 tax years. The statutory notices of deficiency both included un-agreed income adjustments related principally to transfer pricing adjustments regarding the purchase, distribution, and sale of store-brand OTC pharmaceutical products in the United States. In addition, the statutory notice of deficiency for the 2011 and 2012 tax years included the capitalization of certain expenses that were deducted when paid or incurred in defending against certain patent infringement lawsuits. We fully paid the assessed amounts of tax, interest, and penalties set forth in the statutory notices and filed timely claims for refund on June 11, 2015 and June 7, 2017 for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. Our claims for refund were disallowed by certified letters dated August 18, 2015 and July 11, 2017, for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. The complaint was timely, based upon the refund claim denials, and seeks refunds of tax, interest, and penalties of $37.2 million for the 2009 tax year, $61.5 million for the 2010 tax year, $40.2 million for the 2011 tax year, and $24.7 million for the 2012 tax year. The amounts sought in the complaint for the 2009 and 2010 tax years were recorded as deferred charges on our balance sheet during the threesix months ended March 28, 2015, and the amounts sought in the complaint for the 2011 and 2012 tax years were recorded as deferred charges on our balance sheet during the three months ended July 1, 2017.

On December 22, 2016, we received a notice of proposed adjustment for the IRS audit of Athena Neurosciences, Inc. (“Athena”), a subsidiary of Elan acquired in 1996, for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. Perrigo acquired Elan in December 2013. This proposed adjustment relates to the deductibility of litigation costs.

On July 11, 2017, we received a draft notice of proposed adjustment associated with transfer pricing positions for the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013.  Athena was the originator of the patents associated with Tysabri® prior to the acquisition of Athena by Elan in 1996. The amount of adjustments that may be asserted by the IRS in the final notice of proposed adjustment cannot be quantified at this time; however, based on the draft notice received, the amount to be assessed may be material. We disagree with the IRS’s position as asserted in the draft notice of proposed adjustment and intend to contest it.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We finance our operations with internally generated funds, supplemented by credit arrangements with third parties and capital market financing. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate other available financing sources including revolving bank credit and securities offerings. In determining our future capital requirements we regularly consider, among other factors, known trends and uncertainties, such as the Notice of Assessment ("NoA") and the Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA") and other contingencies. We note that no payment of the additional amounts assessed by Irish Revenue pursuant to the NoA or proposed by the IRS in the NOPA is currently required, and no such payment is expected to be required, unless and until a final determination of the matter is reached that is adverse to us, which could take several years in either case. Based on the foregoing, management believes that our operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for our short-term and long-term capital requirements, as described below. However, we continue to evaluate the impact of the above factors on liquidity and may determine that modifications to our capital structure are appropriate if market conditions deteriorate, favorable capital market opportunities become available, or any change in conditions relating to the NoA, the NOPA or other contingencies has a material impact on our capital requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The determination of certain amounts in our financial statements requires the use of estimates. These estimates are based upon our historical experiences combined with management’s understanding of current facts and circumstances. Although the estimates are considered reasonable based on the currently available information, actual results could differ from the estimates we have used. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K other than the hedging policies that we updated upon adoption of ASU 2017-12 (refer to Item 1.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017.June 29, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were notare effective as of September 30, 2017 because of thein ensuring that all material weaknessesinformation relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We conducted an evaluation ofOur management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon theas of June 29, 2019. The framework establishedused in carrying out our evaluation was the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

Perrigo Company plc - Item 4
Controls and Procedures


Tysabri® Contingent Payments

We acquired the Tysabri® royalty stream inCommission. In evaluating our acquisition of Elan Pharmaceuticals plc (“Elan”) in December 2013, and at the timeinformation technology controls, we also used components of the acquisition,framework contained in the Control Objectives for Information and related Technology, which was developed by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association’s IT Governance Institute, as a complement to the COSO internal control framework. Management has concluded that the right to receive quarterly royalty payments from Biogen Idec Inc. should be an intangible asset and such payments recognized as revenue in our financial statements. As discussed in Item 4.02 of our Form 8-K filed on April 25, 2017, during the 2016 year-end close process, and in anticipation of our potential sale of the Tysabri® royalty rights and the 2018 adoption of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we re-evaluated the historical classification of the Tysabri® royalty stream as an intangible asset and concluded that it should have been reflected in the financial statements as a financial asset as of its 2013 acquisition date. As part of this evaluation, management determined that its control over the review of the application of the accounting guidance in ASC 805 Business Combinations did not operate effectively in the appropriate identification of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Elan acquisition in December 2013.All of our originally filed financial statements through the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 1, 2016, as originally filed on November 10, 2016, included the disclosure of the Elan acquisition with the Tysabri® royalty stream presented as an intangible asset. In addition, due to the fact that the asset was historically classified as an intangible asset, we did not design or implement controls around the fair value accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream as a financial asset, so these controls were not in place at any quarter end subsequent to the acquisition, including the date of the quarterly and annual assessment of internal control. Accordingly, management concluded that these control deficiencies represent material weaknesses. As discussed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2017, the material weakness related to the fair value accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream as a financial asset was remediated during that period. See below for our discussion of the remediation efforts related to our acquisition of the Tysabri® royalty rights.

Income Taxes

Management has determined that we did not design or maintain effective management review controls related to our (1) evaluation of non-routine transactions that impact our effective tax rate on an annual and interim basis and (2) determination of our deferred taxes in connection with business combinations.

During our quarterly and annual fiscal 2016 close processes, management determined that the design and operating effectiveness of our controls around the evaluation of non-routine events did not operate appropriately. As disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 2, 2016, our management review controls did not operate at a sufficient level of precision to ensure interim income taxes were properly recorded and disclosed in our condensed consolidated financial statements in connection with the recording of an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment and estimated goodwill impairment as part of the Company’s controls to evaluate non-routine events that occur during a quarterly period and the related income tax impacts. These control deficiencies resulted in a material misstatement in income taxes in the preliminary financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2016. Additionally, these controls remained unremediated as of September 30, 2017, as they were in February 2017 when we identified that these controls did not appropriately evaluate the need for a valuation allowance. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a company to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred tax asset to its net realizable value. Our controls related to consideration of non-routine transactions or events were not designed and did not operate appropriately and identify whether a valuation allowance was needed as they did not identify that we entered into a three year cumulative loss and did not consider the positive and negative evidence in evaluating the potential sources of taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance was required in the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, management identified the existence of tax basis in certain acquired intangible assets (“tax amortization benefits”) that existed at the time of the acquisition of Omega Pharma Invest N.V. (“Omega”) on March 30, 2015. Upon evaluating the tax amortization benefits, management concluded that the purchase accounting for Omega should have included the tax basis in the intangible assets in calculating the deferred tax liability in the opening balance sheet. This omission of existing tax basis in calculating the deferred tax liability on the acquisition date indicated that management’s review over the opening balance sheet deferred income tax accounts was not designed or operating appropriately.

Accordingly, management concluded that these control deficiencies represent material weaknesses.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 4
Controls and Procedures


Impairment

In connection with our long-lived asset impairment testing, management determined that the controls around the identification of the relevant asset group under ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-lived Assets, did not operate effectively. In determining the level to evaluate the long-lived assets in our animal health reporting unit for impairment testing, we inappropriately grouped the assets that constituted the asset group in applying the guidance in ASC 360.

Accordingly, management concluded that this control deficiency represented a material weakness.

Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses

We are committed to remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses described above. Management is responsible for implementing changes and improvements to internal control over financial reporting and for remediating the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses.

Tysabri® Contingent Payments

To remediate the material weakness related to the acquisition of the Tysabri® royalty rights, we, with oversight from the Audit committee, designed certain controls around the identification of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our business combination process. As part of the re-design of the controls, we: (1) considered our controls around the review of the related contracts and agreements and our application of ASC 805 to identify the type of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and (2) evaluated and enhanced management review controls related to business acquisitions. Based on the evaluation of the design and changes to our business acquisition process performed during the second and third quarters of 2017 on these newly implemented controls, we have concluded that these controls have been designed and implemented appropriately. As a result, we consider this material weakness to be remediated as of September 30, 2017.

Income Taxes

To remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to income taxes, we have, with oversight from the Audit Committee, completed the review of the organizational structure, resources, processes and controls in place to measure and record income taxes to enhance the effectiveness of the design and operation of those controls. In addition, we continue to:

Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of our controls related to income taxes for business acquisitions and non-routine transactions on an interim and annual basis;
Enhance monitoring activities related to income taxes; and
Evaluate and enhance the level of precision in the management review controls related to income taxes.

We have begun to implement the remediation actions and expect to complete the implementation as part of our 2017 fiscal year closing process. Until the remediation actions are fully implemented and the operational effectiveness of related internal controls is validated through testing, the material weaknesses related to income taxes described above will continue to exist.

Impairment

We, with oversight from the Audit Committee, designed and initiated certain controls around the financial reporting related to the identification of asset groups as part of our impairment testing. Controls we implemented include: (1) reviewing the design and operation of our controls related to asset group determination in our impairment process on an interim and annual basis and (2) evaluating and enhancing the management review controls related to impairment. Based on the testing performed during the second and third quarters of 2017 on these newly implemented controls around the identification of asset groups as part of our impairment testing, we have concluded that these controls have been designed appropriately and are operating effectively. As a result, we consider this material weakness to be remediated as of September 30, 2017.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS


Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. At the time of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were included in the Form 10-K, other than as described below.


We identified material weaknessesManagement transition creates uncertainties, and any difficulties we experience in managing such transitions may negatively impact our business.

Over the last several years, we have experienced a number of changes in our internal controls over financial reporting; failureexecutive leadership. Most recently, on March 20, 2019, we announced the appointment of Raymond P. Silcock as Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting officer. Mr. Silcock’s appointment followed the resignation of Ronald L. Winowiecki, who had held those roles since his appointment in February 2017. Changes in executive management create uncertainty. Moreover, changes in our company as a result of management transition could have a disruptive impact on our ability to remediate the material weaknessesimplement, or result in changes to, our strategy and could negatively impact our business, financial condition and the priceresults of our ordinary shares.operations.

In connection with our review of certain material misstatements related to the characterization of the Tysabri® royalty stream acquired in the Elan transaction, as well as material misstatements related to the calculation of deferred tax liabilities that existed at the time of the acquisition of Omega, and the evaluation of long-lived assets in our animal health reporting unit for impairment testing, in each case contained in certain of our historical financial statements, we concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that contributed to those misstatements. As a result of the material weaknesses, which existed at December 31, 2016 and some of which remained at September 30, 2017, we have concluded that we did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, April 1, 2017, July 1, 2017 or September 30, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The failure to maintain effective control over financial reporting in turn resulted in material deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures.

We have identified and begun the implementation of actions, and continue to identify and implement, actions to improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, but there can be no assurance that such remediation efforts will be successful. We have also incurred and will continue to incur substantial accounting, legal, consulting, and other costs in connection with identifying and remediating the material weaknesses. Failure to remediate the material weaknesses could have a negative impact on our business and the market for our ordinary shares. For more information on our material weaknesses and the status of our remediation efforts, See Part I, Item 4 - Controls and Procedures.

We are currently involved in a search for a new Chief Executive Officer and a subsequent search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. If these searches are delayed, our business could be negatively impacted.

On June 5, 2017, we announced the forthcoming retirement of John T. Hendrickson as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hendrickson will continue to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board until such time as a successor has been appointed. Our Board of Directors has initiated a Chief Executive Officer search process and has retained an executive search and leadership advisory firm to assist with the process of identifying and evaluating candidates.

Risk Factors





In addition, on February 21, 2017, we announced the resignation of Judy L. Brown as our Executive Vice President, Business Operations and Chief Financial Officer, effective February 27, 2017. Since that time, Ronald L. Winowiecki has served as our acting Chief Financial Officer. Although Mr. Winowiecki remains a key candidate for our permanent Chief Financial Officer, our Board of Directors has suspended its Chief Financial Officer search during its search for Mr. Hendrickson’s successor as Chief Executive Officer. There are no assurances concerning the timing or outcome of our search for a new Chief Executive Officer or subsequent search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. If there are any delays in this process, or if any transition is not successful, our business could be negatively impacted.


The resolution of uncertain tax positions could be unfavorable, which could have an adverse effect on our business.


Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable and that our tax filings are prepared in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audit andor any related litigation could be materially different from our estimates or from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on operating results or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made.made and in future periods after the determination. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties or interest assessments.


On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaintWe are currently involved in several audits and adjustment-related disputes, including litigation, with the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to recover $163.6 million of Federal income tax, penalties,IRS. These include litigation regarding our 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and interest assessed and collected by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), plus statutory interest thereon from the dates of payment, for the fiscal years ended June 27, 2009, June 26, 2010, June 25, 2011, and June 30, 2012 (the “2009 tax year,” “2010 tax year,” “2011 tax year,” and “2012 tax year,” respectively). The IRS audits of those years culminated in the issuances of two statutory notices of deficiency: (1) on August 27, 2014 for the 2009 and 20102013 tax years, and (2) on April 20, 2017 for the 2011 and 2012 tax years. The statutory notices of deficiency both included un-agreed incomeas well as proposed audit adjustments related principally to transfer pricing adjustments regarding the purchase, distribution, and sale of store-brand OTC pharmaceutical products in the United States. In addition, the statutory notice of deficiency for the 2011 and 2012 tax years included the capitalization of certain expenses that were deducted when paid or incurred in defending against certain patent infringement lawsuits. We fully paid the assessed amounts of tax, interest, and penalties set forth in the statutory notices and filed timely claims for refund on June 11, 2015 and June 7, 2017 for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. Our claims for refund were disallowed by certified letters dated August 18, 2015 and July 11, 2017, for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. The complaint was timely, based upon the refund claim denials, and seeks refunds of tax, interest, and penalties of $37.2 million for the 2009 tax year, $61.5 million for the 2010 tax year, $40.2 million for the 2011 tax year and $24.7 million for the 2012 tax year. The amounts sought in the complaint for the 2009 and 2010 tax years were recorded as deferred charges on our balance sheet during the three months ended March 28, 2015, and the amounts sought in the complaint for the 2011 and 2012 tax years were recorded as deferred charges on our balance sheet in the second quarter of the year ending December 31, 2017.

On December 22, 2016, we received a notice of proposed adjustment for the IRS audit oflitigation costs related to Athena Neurosciences, Inc.

Irish Revenue issued a Notice of Assessment ("NoA") on November 29, 2018, which assesses an Irish corporation tax liability against Elan Pharma in the amount of €1,636.0 million, not including interest or any applicable penalties. We disagree with this assessment and believe that the IRS’s position assertedNoA is without merit and incorrect as a matter of law. We filed an appeal of the NoA on December 27, 2018 and will pursue all available administrative and judicial avenues as may be necessary or appropriate. As part of this strategy to pursue all available administrative and judicial avenues, Elan Pharma was, on February 25, 2019, granted leave by the Irish High Court to seek judicial review of the issuance of the NoA. The judicial review filing is based on our belief that Elan Pharma's legitimate expectations as a taxpayer have been breached, not on the merits of the NoA itself. The High Court has scheduled a hearing in this judicial review proceeding in April 2020, and we would expect a decision in this matter in the noticesecond half of proposed adjustment2020. If Perrigo is ultimately successful in the judicial review proceedings, the NoA will be invalidated and intendIrish Revenue will not be able to contest it.re-issue the NoA. The proceedings before the Tax Appeals Commission have been stayed until a decision on the judicial review application has been made, which could take up to, or more than, a year. No payment of any amount related to this assessment is required to be made, if at all, until all applicable proceedings have been completed, which could take a number of years. However, while we believe our position to be correct, there can be no assurance of an ultimate favorable outcome, and if the matter is ultimately resolved unfavorably it would have a material adverse impact on us, including on liquidity and capital resources.


On July 11, 2017,April 26, 2019, we received a draft noticerevised Notice of proposed adjustment associated withProposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS regarding transfer pricing positions forrelated to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013. The NOPA carries forward the theory from a 2017 draft NOPA that when Elan took over the future funding of Athena’s in-process R&D in 1996, after it acquired Athena wasin 1996, it should have paid a substantially higher royalty rate for the originator of the patents associated with Tysabri® priorright to the acquisition of Athena by Elan in 1996. The amount of adjustments that may be asserted by the IRS in the final notice of proposed adjustment cannot be quantified at this time; however,exploit Athena’s intellectual property, rather than rates based on the draft notice received, thetransfer pricing documentation prepared by Elan's external tax advisors. The NOPA proposes a payment of $843.0 million, which represents additional tax and a 40.0% penalty. This amount to be assessed may be material.excludes consideration of offsetting tax attributes and potentially material interest. We strongly disagree with the IRS’sIRS income position and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including potentially those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. No payment of the additional amounts is required until the matter is resolved administratively, judicially, or through treaty negotiation. While we believe our position to be correct, there can be no assurance of an ultimate favorable outcome, and if the matter is resolved unfavorably it could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources.

In addition, going forward, uncertainty regarding the future outcome of tax disputes such as asserted in the draft notice of proposed adjustmentNoA or NOPA may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and intendstrategy, including our plan to contest it.separate our RX business.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Our Board of Directors has established May 4, 2018 as the date of our 2018 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”). Because the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days before the anniversary of our 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, we are informing shareholders of the change in accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

For shareholders who wish to present a proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting, we have set a new deadline for the receipt of those proposals in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. To be considered timely, shareholders must submit their proposals, in writing, to our Company Secretary at our principal executive offices located at Treasury Building, Lower Grand Canal Street, Dublin 2, Ireland by December 19, 2017, which we have determined to be a reasonable time before we expect to begin to print and mail our proxy materials. Shareholder proposals must also comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8.

Because the 2018 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days before the anniversary of the 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, our Articles of Association (the “Articles”) provide that shareholders who wish to bring a proposal or nominate a director at the 2018 Annual Meeting, but who are not requesting that the proposal or nomination be included in our proxy materials, must notify our Company Secretary, in writing, not earlier than the close of business on February 3, 2018 and not later than the close of business on February 23, 2018. Shareholders are advised to review the Articles, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of shareholder proposals and director nominations.
