Proxy Statement for 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
General Information
We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Endo International plc (the Board), an Irish public limited company, of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting to be held on June 11, 2019, beginning at 8:00 a.m., local time. The Annual Meeting will be held at First Floor, Minerva House, Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland.
In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we are furnishing the Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting, 2018 Annual Report on Form10-K and 2018 Irish Statutory Financial Statements (collectively, the proxy materials) by providing access to these materials electronically on the internet. As such, we are not mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each shareholder of record or beneficial owner, and our shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request this form of delivery. Printed copies will be provided upon request at no charge.
We are mailing a Notice of Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice of Internet Availability) to our shareholders on or about April 29, 2019. This Notice of Internet Availability is being mailed in lieu of the printed proxy materials and contains instructions for our shareholders on how they may: (1) access and review our proxy materials on the internet; (2) submit their proxy; and (3) receive printed proxy materials. Shareholders may request to receive printed proxy materials by mail or electronically bye-mail on an ongoing basis by following the instructions in the Notice of Internet Availability. We believe that providing proxy materials electronically enables us to save costs associated with printing and delivering the materials and reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings. A request to receive proxy materials in printed form, by mail or bye-mail, will remain in effect until such time as the shareholder elects to terminate it.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this proxy statement to “Endo,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Endo International plc and its subsidiaries.
