Explanatory Note
Shire plc is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 (the “Report”), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2006, solely for the purposes of correcting a typographical error contained in Exhibit 32.1 as originally filed with the Report. The introductory paragraph in Exhibit 32.1 as originally filed contained a reference to the “quarter ended June 30, 2006” as opposed to the “quarter ended September 30, 2006”. This Amendment corrects that error.
This Amendment does not affect the original financial statements or footnotes as originally filed. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Report or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Except for the items described above or contained in this Amendment, this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Report, and does not modify, amend or update in any way the financial statements or any other item or disclosure in the Report.
