CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our, or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. In particular, statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events or future performance contained in this report, including certain statements contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” "forecast," “predict,” “potential” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. While we believe these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including: the timing, amount and cost of any share repurchases; future impairment charges; the success of management transition; customer acceptance of new products; competition from other industry participants, some of whom have greater marketing resources or larger market shares in certain product categories than we do; pricing pressures from customers and consumers; resolution of uncertain tax positions, including the Company's appeal of the Notice of Assessment ("NoA") issued by the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) and the Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA") issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the impact that an adverse result in such proceedings would have on operating results, cash flows and liquidity; potential third-party claims and litigation, including litigation relating to our restatement of previously-filed financial information and litigation relating to uncertain tax positions, including the NoA and the NOPA; potential impacts of ongoing or future government investigations and regulatory initiatives; the impact of tax reform legislation and healthcare policy; general economic conditions; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates; the consummation of announced acquisitions or dispositions and the success of such transactions, and our ability to realize the desired benefits thereof; and our ability to execute and achieve the desired benefits of announced cost-reduction efforts, and strategic and other initiatives. Statements regarding the separation of the RX business, including the expected benefits, anticipated timing, form of any such separation and whether the separation ultimately occurs, are all subject to various risks and uncertainties, including future financial and operating results, our ability to separate the business, the effect of existing interdependencies with our manufacturing and shared service operations, and the tax consequences of the planned separation to us or our shareholders. Furthermore, we may incur additional tax liabilities in respect of 2016 and prior years or be found to have breached certain provisions of Irish company law in connection with our restatement of our previously-filed financial statements, which may result in additional expenses and penalties. These and other important factors, including those discussed in our form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018, this report under “Risk Factors” and in any subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report are made only as of the date hereof, and unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

This report contains trademarks, trade names and service marks that are the property of Perrigo Company plc, as well as, for informational purposes, trademarks, trade names, and service marks that are the property of other organizations. Solely for convenience, certain trademarks, trade names, and service marks referred to in this report appear without the ®, ™ and SM symbols, but those references are not intended to indicate that we or the applicable owner, as the case may be, will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our or their rights to such trademarks, trade names, and service marks.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 1



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General Information

The Company

Perrigo Company plc was incorporated under the laws of Ireland on June 28, 2013 and became the successor registrant of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation, on December 18, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan"). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Perrigo," the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns used herein refer to Perrigo Company plc, its subsidiaries, and all predecessors of Perrigo Company plc and its subsidiaries.

We are dedicated to making lives better by bringing “Quality, Affordable Self-Care Products™” that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We are a leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") health and wellness solutions that enhance individual well-being by empowering consumers to proactively prevent or treat conditions that can be self-managed. We are also a leading producer of generic prescription pharmaceutical topical products such as creams, lotions, gels, and nasal sprays.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included and include our accounts and the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 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 Not Yet Adopted
Standard
 
Description
 
Effective Date
 
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 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
 
This guidance requires 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 expense as incurred.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We currently plan to adopt the standard prospectively on the effective date. 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 presentation of the underlying hosting contracts, which will be included within Operating expenses.
ASU 2018-13: Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
 
This guidance amends ASC 820 to add, remove, and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We currently plan to adopt the standard 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 and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

ASU 2018-19: Codification Improvements for Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

ASU 2019-05: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Targeted Transition Relief
 
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.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We are in the process of completing our evaluation. Upon adoption, we are not expecting a material impact on the financial statements.

ASU 2018-18: Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606
 
This guidance amends ASC 808 to clarify that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. The proposed guidance would be applied retrospectively to the date of initial adoption of Topic 606.
 
January 1, 2020
 
We are in the process of completing our evaluation. Upon adoption, we are not expecting a material impact on the financial statements.
ASU 2018-14: Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
 
This guidance amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans.
 
December 31, 2020
 
We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
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.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions Completed During the Six Months Ended June 29, 2019

Generic Product Acquisition

On May 17, 2019, we purchased the Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") for a generic product used to relieve pain from osteoarthritis, for $15.7 million in cash, which we capitalized as a developed product technology intangible asset. We plan to launch the product during the third quarter of 2019 and begin amortizing it over a 20-year useful life. Operating results attributable to the product are included within our RX segment.

Budesonide Nasal Spray and Triamcinolone Nasal Spray

On April 1, 2019, we purchased product ANDAs and other records and registrations of Budesonide Nasal Spray, a generic equivalent of Rhinocort Allergy®, and Triamcinolone Nasal Spray, a generic equivalent of Nasacort Allergy®, from Barr Laboratories, Inc. ("Barr"), a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceuticals, for $14.0 million in cash. We previously developed and marketed the products in collaboration with Barr under a development, marketing and commercialization agreement that originated in August 2003. Under this prior agreement, we paid Barr a percentage of net income from products sold by Perrigo in the U.S. By purchasing the assets from Barr and terminating the original development, marketing and commercialization agreement, we are now entitled to 100% of the income from sales of the product. Operating results attributable to these products are included within our CSCA segment. The intangible assets acquired are classified as developed product technology with a 10-year useful life.

Acquisitions Completed During the Year Ended December 31, 2018

Nasonex-branded products

On May 29, 2018, we entered into a license agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. ("Merck"), which allows us to develop and commercialize an OTC version of Nasonex-branded products containing the compound, mometasone furoate monohydrate. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition based on our assessment that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset to be used for R&D. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 730 Research and Development, the non-refundable upfront license fee of $50.0 million was recorded in R&D expense in our CHCA segment because the intangible research and development asset acquired has no alternative use. The agreement requires us to make contingent payments if we obtain regulatory approval and achieve certain sales milestones. We will also be obligated to make royalty payments on potential future sales. The contingent consideration will be included in the measurement of the cost of the asset when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. Consideration paid after U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval will be capitalized and amortized to cost of goods sold over the economic life of each product.

  During the three months ended June 29, 2019, our RX U.S. reporting unit had an indication of potential impairment which was driven by a combination of industry and market factors and uncertainty related to the timing

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 4


and associated cash flows of the projected ProAir launch. Goodwill remaining in this reporting unit was $1,119.6 million as of June 29, 2019. We prepared an impairment test as of June 29, 2019 and determined that the fair value of the RX U.S. reporting unit continued to exceed net book value by approximately 10%. 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. 

In conjunction with the test performed during the three months ended June 29, 2019, we early adopted ASU 2017-04 which removes the Step 2 requirement in instances when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Prospectively, if a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, we will record an impairment charge in the amount of the difference, limited to the amount of goodwill attributed to that reporting unit.

During the three months ended June 29, 2019, we identified impairment indicators for a certain definite-lived asset related to changes in pricing and competition in the market, 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 RX segment.

We recorded an impairment charge of $4.1 million on an in process R&D asset in the CSCA segment during the three months ended March 30, 2019 due to changes in projected development and regulatory timelines.

We value our 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 until the contingent 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. 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 table below represents the volatility and rate of return:

The fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment increased by $5.5 million and $15.9 million during the three and six months ended June 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, 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 $9.0 million. The net changes in the fair value of the contingent 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® in the U.S. and European markets.

In order for us to receive the 2020 milestone payment of $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.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Animal Health

When determining the fair value of our animal health reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2018, we utilized a 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 of 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 that we believe market participants would apply to the projected growth rate. In addition, we burdened projected free cash flows with the capital spending deemed necessary to support the cash flows and applied the jurisdictional tax rate 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 we determined was most representative of fair market conditions.

When assessing our animal health indefinite-lived intangible asset for the year ended December 31, 2018, we utilized a multi-period excess earnings method ("MPEEM") to determine the fair value of the intangible asset. Our cash flow projections included revenue assumptions related to new products, product line extensions, and existing products. We utilized long-term growth rate and discount rate assumptions of (0.3)% and 9.8%, respectively, and we applied a jurisdictional tax rate of 22.8%.

When assessing our animal health definite-lived assets for impairment for the year ended December 31, 2018, we utilized a combination of MPEEM and relief from royalty methods to determine the fair values of definite-lived assets within the asset group. The projected financial information, inputs, and assumptions utilized were consistent with those utilized in the goodwill discounted cash flow analysis described above.

Generic product

When measuring the impairment of a certain definite-lived asset during the three months ended June 29, 2019, we utilized a discounted cash flow technique to estimate the fair value of the asset. Significant valuation inputs and assumptions relate to our projected future cash flows, including the total market size, our estimated market share, and our average selling price.

NOTE 8 – ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

We classify assets as "held for sale" 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 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 and liabilities held-for-sale were reported in Accrued liabilities. The amounts consisted of the following (in millions):

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

On 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 new standard required modifications to existing presentation and disclosure requirements on a prospective basis. As such, certain disclosures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 below conform to the disclosure requirements prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-12.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-12, we were required to separately measure and reflect the amount by which the hedging instrument did not offset the changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items, which was referred to as the ineffective amount. We assessed hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis and recorded the gain or loss related to the 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 in OCI will subsequently be reclassified to earnings in the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as impacted by the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings; and

Fair value hedges included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness in the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Prior to the 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

15

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 amendments 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 measured 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 the 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. 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.

Interest Rate Swaps

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. There were no active designated or non-designated interest rate swaps as of June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

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 – LEASES

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.

(1) Debt denominated in euros subject to fluctuations in the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate.
    
We are in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of June 29, 2019.

Revolving Credit Agreements

On March 8, 2018, we terminated the revolving credit agreement entered into on December 5, 2014 and entered into a $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement maturing on March 8, 2023 (the "2018 Revolver"). During the three months ended June 29, 2019, in anticipation of the Ranir Global Holdings, LLC (“Ranir”) acquisition (refer to Note 18), we borrowed $375.0 million under this facility. There were $325.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of June 29, 2019. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of December 31, 2018.

Term Loans

On December 5, 2014, Perrigo Finance entered into a term loan agreement consisting of a €500.0 million ($614.3 million) tranche, maturing on December 5, 2019. On March 8, 2018, we refinanced the €350.0 million outstanding under the term loan with the proceeds of a new €350.0 million ($431.0 million) term loan, maturing on March 8, 2020 (the "2018 Term Loan"). In addition, as a result of the refinancing during the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a loss of $0.5 million, consisting of the write-off of deferred financing fees in Loss on extinguishment of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 29, 2019, we made $24.7 million in scheduled principal payments on the 2018 Term Loan.

Notes and Bonds

In connection with the Omega acquisition, on March 30, 2015, we assumed a 5.000% retail bond due in 2019 in the amount of €120.0 million ($130.7 million). On May 23, 2019 we repaid the bond in full.

Other Financing

We have overdraft facilities available that we use to support our cash management operations. We report any balances outstanding in the above table under "Other financing". The balance outstanding under the facilities was $73.9 million at June 29, 2019. There were no borrowings outstanding under the facilities as of December 31, 2018.

We have financing leases that are reported in the above table under "Other financing" (refer to Note 10).

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2019 increased compared to the prior year period due primarily to changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-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.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 29, 2019 increased compared to the prior year period due primarily to changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax book income.

On October 31, 2018, we received an audit finding letter from the Irish Office of the Revenue Commissioners (“Irish Revenue”) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013. The audit finding letter relates to the tax treatment of the 2013 sale of the Tysabri® intellectual property and other assets related to Tysabri® 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 liability 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 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 by Irish Revenue. 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 second half of 2020. If we are ultimately successful in the judicial review proceedings the NoA will be invalidated and 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.

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 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

25

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 14


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 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.

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, Ireland and 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 (which covers the period of the Elan transaction). The Israel Tax Authority's audit of our fiscal years ended June 29, 2013 and June 28, 2014 concluded with no material impact to the financial statements and the Israel Tax Authority is now auditing our fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2017.

NOTE 15 – 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 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, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. 

Price-Fixing Lawsuits

We have been named as a co-defendant with certain other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in a number of class 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. The 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 a conspiracy 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 more than two dozen other drugs, as part of a case captioned In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 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 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 the Roofers’ Pension Fund case and the Wilson case. In the amended complaint, the lead plaintiffs seek to represent three classes of shareholders - shareholders who purchased shares during the period April 21, 2015 through May 3, 2017 on the U.S. exchanges; shareholders who purchased shares during the same period on the Tel Aviv exchange; and shareholders who owned 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) 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 amended complaint does not include an estimate of damages. During 2017, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, which the plaintiffs opposed. On July 27, 2018, the court issued an opinion and order granting the defendants’ motions to dismiss in part and denying the motions to dismiss in part. The court dismissed without prejudice defendants Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, Donal O’Connor, and Marc Coucke. 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 begun. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

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

Note 15


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 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. 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 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. 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 these cases conferred about how these cases should proceed. The parties agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in these cases. The defendants (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of the cases has begun. We intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

Note 15


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. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

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 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 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-CREF Investment 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,

and First Manhattan). The TIAA-CREF Investment 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.

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).

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 seven other opt out cases.

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 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.

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.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 15


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 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 this case 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 purchased Perrigo stock on the Tel Aviv exchange during the period April 24, 2015 through May 3, 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, Ernst & 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 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 January 3, 2019, a shareholder filed a complaint against the Company, 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 (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.). The case is a securities class action brought in Israel making 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 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. The plaintiff does not provide an estimate of class damages. We filed a request for a stay, the plaintiff agreed in part, and the court approved a stay and required the parties to update the court about the U.S. proceedings by September 1, 2019. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

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 (together the "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. To 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). 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.

The charges incurred during the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 were primarily associated with the reorganization of our executive management team and other actions taken to streamline the organization. Of the amount recorded during the six months ended June 29, 2019, $9.8 million related to the CSCI segment due primarily to the sales force reorganization in France. The charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily associated with continued costs from actions we took to streamline our organization as announced on February 21, 2017, as well as additional lease exit costs. All charges are recorded in Restructuring expense on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The remaining $24.0 million liability for employee severance benefits is expected to be paid within the next year.

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


36

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.

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This discussion contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks referred to under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2018 Form 10-K and Part II. Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Perrigo Company plc was incorporated under the laws of Ireland on June 28, 2013 and became the successor registrant of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation, on December 18, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc ("Elan"). Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "Perrigo," the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns used herein refer to Perrigo Company plc, its subsidiaries, and all predecessors of Perrigo Company plc and its subsidiaries.

We are dedicated to making lives better by bringing “Quality, Affordable Self-Care Products™” that consumers trust everywhere they are sold. We are a leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") health and wellness solutions that enhance individual well-being by empowering consumers to proactively prevent or treat conditions that can be self-managed. We are also a leading producer of generic prescription pharmaceutical topical products such as creams, lotions, gels, and nasal sprays.

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

37

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
Executive Overview



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 Item 1. Note 2 and Note 17. For results by segment, see "Segment Results" below.

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.

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.

On July 1, 2019, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in Ranir Global Holdings, LLC (“Ranir”), a privately-held company, for total base consideration of $750.0 million in a debt-free, cash-free transaction, subject to post-closing adjustments for changes to working capital compared to the target working capital on the closing date. 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 (refer to Item 1. Note 18).

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).

Recent Trends and Developments

Management continues to implement its previously disclosed strategy for brand prioritization, sales force restructuring, and manufacturing insourcing, which is expected to reduce selling costs, improve operating margins and focus on higher value OTC products. As part of this strategy, we are making progress on the previously reported CSCI restructuring plan that we expect to improve our cost structure.

PRESCRIPTION PHARMACEUTICALS

Recent Trends and Developments

Although pricing pressure is beginning to moderate, we continue to experience a year-over-year reduction in pricing in our RX segment due to competitive pressures. Similar to the first quarter of 2019, we experienced a year-over-year decrease in pricing pressure in the second quarter and expect softness in pricing to continue to impact the segment for the foreseeable future.

On May 17, 2019, we purchased the ANDA for a generic product used to relieve pain from osteoarthritis, for $15.7 million in cash, which we capitalized as a developed product technology intangible asset. We plan to launch the the product during the third quarter of 2019 (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

During the three months ended June 29, 2019, we identified impairment indicators for a certain definite-lived asset related to changes in pricing and competition in the market, which lowered the projected cash flows we expect to generate from the asset. We determined the asset was impaired by $27.8 million. Competition and other industry and market factors may contribute to future impairment charges or indications of impairment in the segment (refer to Item 1. Note 4).

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 third quarter of 2019.

The increase of $61.7 million in unallocated expenses during the six months ended June 29, 2019 compared to the prior year period was due to a $45.9 million increase in legal and consulting fees, a $7.4 million increase due to the reorganization of our executive management team, and an increase in share-based compensation expense of $3.2 million driven by the on-boarding of new executives.

Change in Financial Assets

During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, the fair value of the Royalty 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 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, 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 $9.0 million. The net changes in the fair value of the contingent 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® in the U.S. and European markets.

In order for us to receive the 2020 milestone payment of $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).

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $31.2 million and $59.8 million during the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, compared to $32.1 million and $63.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The $0.9 million and $3.7 million decreases for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, were due primarily to changes in our underlying hedge exposure (refer to Item 1. Note 9).

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net was $2.3 million expense for the three months ended June 29, 2019 compared to $7.9 million expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The $5.6 million decrease was due primarily to the absence of a $6.3 million loss on investment securities in the prior year period (refer to Item 1. Note 7); partially offset by $1.0 million of favorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

Other (income) expense, net was $5.5 million expense during the six months ended June 29, 2019 compared to $12.1 million expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $6.6 million change was due primarily to the decrease of $3.7 million in losses on investment securities (refer to Item 1. Note 7) and $1.9 million of favorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 29, 2019 increased compared to the prior year period due primarily to changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax book income (refer to Item 1. Note 14 for more information on income taxes).

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

CHART-DAA1699B636D533D8F7.JPG
* Working capital represents current assets less current liabilities, excluding cash and cash equivalents, and current indebtedness.

Cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and borrowings available under our credit facilities are expected to be sufficient to finance our liquidity and capital expenditures in both the short and long term. Although our lenders have made commitments to make funds available to us in a timely fashion under our revolving credit agreements and overdraft facilities, if economic conditions worsen or new information becomes publicly available

impacting the institutions’ credit rating or capital ratios, these lenders may be unable or unwilling to lend money pursuant to our existing credit facilities. Should our outlook on liquidity requirements change substantially from current projections, we may seek additional sources of liquidity in the future.

Cash Generated by (Used in) Operating Activities
CHART-D3B7C80D302F561EA5C.JPG
The $96.4 million decrease in operating cash inflow was due primarily to:

Decreased net earnings after adjustments for items such as deferred income taxes, impairment charges, restructuring charges, changes in our financial assets, share-based compensation, amortization of debt premium, and depreciation and amortization;

Changes in accrued customer programs due primarily to pricing dynamics in our RX segment, as well as timing of rebate and chargeback payments;

Changes in accounts payable due primarily to the timing of payments, and mix of payment terms; and

Changes in accounts receivable due primarily to timing of shipments and receipt of payments in our CSCA and RX segments; partially offset by

Changes in payroll and related taxes due primarily to increase in employee-related expenses;

Changes in inventory due primarily to the build-up of inventory levels to support customer demands; and

Changes in accrued liabilities due primarily to the change in royalty and profit sharing accruals, and changes in legal, consulting and litigation accruals, partially offset by deferred revenue associated with BCH-Belgium distribution contracts and changes in our underlying hedge exposure.

The $191.2 million increase in investing cash inflow was due primarily to:

$250.0 million increase from the receipt of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment;
$7.5 million increase due to the absence of the investment in Zibo Xinhua - Perrigo Pharmaceutical Company Limited in the prior year period (refer to Item 1. Note 7); partially offset by
$35.0 million decrease due primarily to the acquisition of an ANDA for a generic product used to relieve pain from osteoartheritis for $15.7 million, and Budesonide Nasal Spray and Triamcinolone Nasal Spray for $14.0 million (refer to Item 1. Note 3);
$21.4 million increase in capital spending due primarily to increased tablet and infant formula capacity and quality/regulation projects; and
$8.6 million decrease in proceeds from royalty rights.

Cash Generated by (Used in) Financing Activities
CHART-69861A65205D5995BA9.JPG
The $540.4 million decrease in financing cash outflow was due primarily to:

$405.7 million increase in net borrowings of revolving credit agreements and other financing;
$298.4 million net decrease in payments on long-term debt; and
$265.0 million decrease in share repurchases; partially offset by
$431.0 million decrease in issuances of long-term debt.

The declaration and payment of dividends, if any, is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, availability of distributable reserves, capital and surplus requirements, and other factors our Board of Directors may consider relevant.

Revolving Credit Agreements

On March 8, 2018, we terminated the revolving credit agreement entered into in December 2014 and entered into a $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement maturing on March 8, 2023 (the "2018 Revolver"). There were $325.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of June 29, 2019. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolver as of December 31, 2018.

Term Loans and Notes

We had $2.8 billion outstanding under our notes and bonds as of both June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We had $323.4 million and $351.3 million outstanding under our 2018 Term Loan as of June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

On December 5, 2014, Perrigo Finance entered into a term loan agreement consisting of a €500.0 million ($614.3 million) tranche, maturing December 5, 2019. On March 8, 2018, we refinanced the €350.0 million outstanding under the term loan with the proceeds of a new €350.0 million ($431.0 million) term loan, maturing March 8, 2020 (the "2018 Term Loan"). During the six months ended June 29, 2019, we made $24.7 million in scheduled principal payments on the 2018 Term Loan.

In connection with the Omega acquisition, on March 30, 2015, we assumed a 5.000% retail bond due 2019 in the amount of €120.0 million ($130.7 million). On May 23, 2019 we repaid the bond in full.

Overdraft Facilities

We have overdraft facilities available that we use to support our cash management operations. The balance outstanding under the facilities was $73.9 million at June 29, 2019. There were no borrowings outstanding under the facilities as of December 31, 2018.

Leases

We had $154.0 million of lease liabilities and $152.5 million of lease assets as of June 29, 2019.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The total amount factored on a non-recourse basis and excluded from accounts receivable was $12.8 million and $24.3 million at June 29, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


We are in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of June 29, 2019 (refer to Item 1. Note 10 and Note 11 for more information on all of the above lease activity and debt facilities, respectively).

Credit Ratings
    
Our credit ratings on June 29, 2019 were Baa3 (stable) and BBB- (stable) by Moody's Investors Service and Standard and Poor's Rating Services, respectively.

Credit rating agencies review their ratings periodically and, therefore, the credit rating assigned to us by each agency may be subject to revision at any time. Accordingly, we are not able to predict whether current credit ratings will remain as disclosed above. Factors that can affect our credit ratings include changes in operating performance, the economic environment, our financial position, and changes in business strategy. If changes in our credit ratings were to occur, they could impact, among other things, future borrowing costs, access to capital markets, and vendor financing terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, net sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. We acquire and collaborate on potential products still in development and enter into R&D arrangements with third parties that often require milestone payments to the third-party contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Milestone payments may be required upon the successful achievement of an important point in the development life cycle of the product. Because of the contingent nature of these payments, they are not included in the table of contractual obligations included in our 2018 Form 10-K and referred to below.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There were no material changes in contractual obligations as of June 29, 2019 from those provided in our 2018 Form 10-K.

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. Note 9) and our leasing polices that we updated upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 (refer to Item 1. Note 10).

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our quantitative or qualitative disclosures found in Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," of our 2018 Form 10-K.

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 June 29, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our periodic SEC filings would be made known to them by others within those entities in a timely manner and that no changes are required at this time.

Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 29, 2019. The framework used in carrying out our evaluation was the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission. In evaluating our information technology controls, we also used components of the 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 our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 29, 2019. The results of management’s assessment have been reviewed with our Audit Committee.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 29, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Refer to Part I, Item 1. Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 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.

Management 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 executive 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 implement, or result in changes to, our strategy and could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 or 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 and in future periods after the determination. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties or interest assessments.

We are currently involved in several audits and adjustment-related disputes, including litigation, with the IRS. These include litigation regarding our 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 tax years, as well as proposed audit adjustments related to litigation costs related to Athena Neurosciences, Inc. (“Athena”), a subsidiary of Elan acquired in 1996, for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 tax years.

In addition, on October 31, 2018, we received an audit finding letter from Irish Revenue for the years under audit 2012-2013. The audit finding letter relates to the tax treatment of the 2013 sale of the Tysabri® intellectual

52

Perrigo Company plc - Item 1A
Risk Factors




property and other assets related to Tysabri® 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 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 NoA 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 second half of 2020. If Perrigo is ultimately successful in the judicial review proceedings, the NoA will be invalidated and 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, 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 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 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.

In addition, going forward, uncertainty regarding the future outcome of tax disputes such as the NoA or NOPA may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and strategy, including our plan to separate our RX business.

At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of any audit or related litigation. Unfavorable developments in or resolutions of matters such as those discussed above could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods (refer to Item 1, Note 14 for further information related to uncertain tax positions and ongoing tax audits and Item 1. Note 15 for further information related to legal proceedings).

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1.03 Closing. The closing of the Blocker Purchase shall take place on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Blocker Closing"); provided that, in the event the Merger does not become effective, the Blocker Closing shall be deemed void and to not have occurred.
ARTICLE II

2.01 Merger. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the DLLCA, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving limited liability company. The Company, as the surviving limited liability company in the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Company."
2.02 Effective Time; Closing. At the Closing, the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Certificate of Merger") to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and shall make all other filings or recordings required by the DLLCA to effectuate the Merger.

2.03 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of DLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, all of the assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, Liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, Liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.
2.04 Certificate of Formation. The certificate of formation of Merger Sub in effect at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company until amended in accordance with applicable Law.
2



2.05 Limited Liability Company Agreement. The limited liability company agreement of Merger Sub in effect at the Effective Time shall be the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company until amended in accordance with applicable Law; provided that such limited liability company agreement shall maintain the same economics and ownership of the Blocker Company Units owned by Blocker as was maintained by the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company immediately before the Effective Time.
2.06 Managers and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement of the Surviving Company and applicable Law, the managers and officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the managers and officers, as applicable, of the Surviving Company.
2.07 Conversion of Company Units. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or any of the Unitholders, the following shall occur:
(a)    Common Units and Vested Incentive Units. Each Common Unit and each Vested Incentive Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Common Units and Vested Incentive Units to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.07(b), if any, and Blocker Company Units) shall be canceled and extinguished and shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to:
(i)    a portion of the Estimated Closing Cash Payment as set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement under the heading "Designated Unitholders Payment" as determined in accordance with Section 3.03(a), plus
(ii)    the portion (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles) of any Future Distribution Amount attributable to such Common Unit or Vested Incentive Unit.
(b)    Unvested Incentive Units. Each Incentive Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not a Vested Incentive Unit shall be canceled and extinguished and no cash or other consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.
(c)    Cancellation of Treasury Units. Each Common Unit or Incentive Unit held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company in treasury, if any, or held by Buyer or any of its subsidiaries (excluding the Blocker Company Units) shall be canceled and no cash or other consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.
(d)    Blocker Company Units. Each Blocker Company Unit shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued Common Unit or one validly issued Incentive Unit, as applicable, of the Surviving Company, in each case, with the same economics as the Blocker Company Units owned by Blocker immediately prior to the Effective Time (which Common Units and Incentive Units of the Surviving Company shall, for the avoidance of doubt, continue to be held by Blocker) and there shall be no payments made to US Buyer or Blocker in respect of the Blocker Company Units pursuant to this Section 2.07.
(e)    Merger Sub Units. The limited liability company interests of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for validly issued Common Units and Incentive Units of the Surviving Company with the same economics as the Common Units and Vested Incentive Units outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Blocker Company Units owned by Blocker).
3



(f)    Books and Records. All consideration paid to the Designated Unitholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been exchanged and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Common Units and Incentive Units (other than the Blocker Company Units) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and the books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Company with respect to the equity interests that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, any holder of Common Units and Incentive Units (other than the Blocker Company Units) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as an equity holder of the Company (or, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Company), except as specifically provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law.
2.08 Unitholders Payments; Letters of Transmittal.
(a)    Prior to the Closing, the Company, Irish Buyer and US Buyer shall enter into a paying agent agreement, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C, with Acquiom Financial LLC (the "Paying Agent" and such agreement, the "Paying Agent Agreement"). The Paying Agent shall act as paying agent in effecting payments to Designated Unitholders and the exchange of cash for Common Units and Incentive Units (other than the Blocker Company Units).
(b)    Within fifteen Business Days following the date of this Agreement, to the extent not delivered prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, or shall instruct the Paying Agent to, deliver to each Designated Unitholder a letter of transmittal, in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the "Letter of Transmittal").
(c)    If a Designated Unitholder delivers its duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent prior to the Closing, then at the Closing the Company shall instruct the Paying Agent to deliver to such Designated Unitholder the portion of the Estimated Closing Cash Payment payable to such Designated Unitholder pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i). If a Designated Unitholder delivers its duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent after the Closing, then promptly thereafter, the Company shall instruct the Paying Agent to deliver to such Designated Unitholder the portion of the Estimated Closing Cash Payment payable to such Designated Unitholder pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i), and any Future Distribution Amount held by the Paying Agent that such Designated Unitholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(ii) at that time, if any. From and after the Closing, each Common Unit and Incentive Unit (other than the Blocker Company Units and any Common Units or Incentive Units cancelled pursuant to Section 2.07(b) or Section 2.07(c)) shall represent solely the right to receive the portion of the Transaction Consideration into which the Common Units and Incentive Units shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.07, without interest.
(d)    Any portion of the consideration paid to the Paying Agent by Irish Buyer pursuant to Section 3.02(b) that remains unclaimed by the Designated Unitholders twelve months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Irish Buyer, upon demand, and any such Designated Unitholder who has not delivered its duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent on or prior to such date shall thereafter look only to Irish Buyer for payment of such consideration; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Irish Buyer shall not be liable to any Designated Unitholder for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by the Designated Unitholders five years after the Effective Time (or if earlier, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Irish Buyer free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
2.09 Required Withholding.
4



(a)    Each of Buyer, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and the Surviving Company (and any other Person that has any withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreements referenced herein) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreements referenced herein such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided that, except with respect to payments in the nature of compensation to be made to employees or former employees of any of the Group Companies, if Buyer, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent or the Surviving Company determines that an amount is required to be deducted and withheld, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the payee, at least three Business Days prior to the date the applicable payment is scheduled to be made, (i) with written notice of the intent to deduct and withhold, which shall include a copy of the calculation of the amount to be deducted and withheld and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding (or reduce such withholding); provided, further, that such notice obligation shall not be applicable with respect to any payment to a Person who does not deliver (i) IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8, and (ii) (A) in the case of Blocker Seller, the certificate described in Section 3.02(e)(iii) or (B) subject to Section 2.09(b), in the case of a Person other than Blocker Seller, a statement that such Person is not a "foreign person" for purposes of Sections 1445 and 1446(f) of the Code in the form of Exhibit E-1 attached to this Agreement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the proper Taxing Authority, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.
(b)    The Representative, the Company and Buyer shall cooperate with each other, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any of the foregoing, in connection with the computation and verification of any amounts required to be withheld, including any "amount realized" with respect to the Transactions, and as determined under Code Section 1446(f), by causing the Company to provide to Buyer prior to the Closing Date a certification as described in Section 7.03 of IRS Notice 2018-29 or other information to determine any amount included in amounts realized pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-1(h)).
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Designated Unitholder shall, in such Person's applicable Letter of Transmittal, if the Reimbursement Conditions are satisfied, agree to pay to Buyer the excess of: (A)(x) the amount of any withholding taxes required to be withheld by the Company with respect to such Designated Unitholder under Section 1446(a) of the Code with respect to the portion of the U.S. federal income tax period of the Company that begins before the Closing Date (excluding, in each case, any interest and penalties with respect to such matters and any amount that is actually withheld from such Designated Unitholder's pro rata portion of the Estimated Closing Cash Payment or any Future Distribution Amount), but only to the extent that such amount actually paid by the Company constitutes an advance payment of, or an offset to, a Tax liability imposed on such Designated Unitholder; or (y) the amount of any U.S. state non-resident withholding taxes required to be paid by the Company with respect to such Designated Unitholder as a result of a Pass-Through Income Tax Return prepared pursuant to and in accordance with the procedures of Section 9.01 or the resolution of the applicable PT-Tax Proceeding pursuant to and in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.03 (excluding, in each case, any penalties and interest with respect to such matter and any amount that is actually withheld from such Designated Unitholder's pro rata portion of the Estimated Closing Cash Payment or any Future Distribution Amount), but only to the extent that such amount actually paid by the Company constitutes an advance payment of, or an offset to, a Tax liability imposed on such Designated Unitholder; over, in the case of both clause (A)(x) and clause (A)(y), (B) the amount of any proceeds or other third-party recovery (including pursuant to the R&W Policy) to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) are entitled with respect to any such Taxes. The Letter of Transmittal shall also provide that if Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) receives a refund of any amount for which Buyer has received a payment from a Designated Unitholder, Buyer shall promptly remit such refund to the Designated Unitholder.

(ii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer and its representatives may make inquiries of or provide comments to the Company regarding questions or comments concerning, or disagreements with, the Estimated Closing Statement or arising in the course of Buyer's review thereof. If Buyer shall object to any of the information set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement, then Buyer and the Company shall negotiate in good faith concerning Buyer's proposed adjustments to the Estimated Closing Statement, if any, but in the absence of an agreement between Buyer and the Company with respect to such proposed adjustments, the Estimated Closing Statement as prepared by the Company shall control. In no event shall the Closing be delayed as a result of this Section 3.03(a)(ii).
(b)    Final Calculations.
(i)    Within ninety days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a statement that sets forth (including, in each case, reasonable supporting documentation and detail as to how each was determined) (A) the Cash Amount, the outstanding amount of all Funded Debt as of the Adjustment Time, the Transaction Expenses, the Tax Liability Amount, the Blocker Tax Liability Amount and the Working Capital (and the Working Capital Surplus or Working Capital Deficit, if any, implied thereby) and (B) the Closing Cash Payment resulting therefrom (the "Closing Statement"). If the Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement, the Representative shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (an "Objection Statement") setting forth its objections (the "Objection Disputes") to the Closing Statement, which Objection Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail each such disagreement and the amount thereof. Any amount(s) set forth on the Closing Statement not included in a timely delivered Objection Statement as the subject of an Objection Dispute shall be treated as final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. If an Objection Statement is not delivered to
8



Buyer within 45 days after receipt of the Closing Statement by the Representative, then the Closing Statement as originally received by the Representative shall be the final Closing Statement, and accordingly, final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. If an Objection Statement is timely delivered, then Buyer and the Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Objection Disputes. If such negotiations result in a written resolution executed by Buyer and the Representative as to any Objection Dispute, such written resolution shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties.
(ii)    If Buyer and the Representative cannot reach a final resolution on all of the Objection Disputes within 30 days after the delivery of the Objection Statement, the Representative and Buyer shall submit each unresolved Objection Dispute to KPMG US LLP (the "Firm") to resolve such Objection Disputes. If KPMG US LLP refuses or is otherwise unable to act as the Firm, then Buyer and the Representative shall cooperate in good faith to appoint a nationally recognized independent accounting or valuation firm mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Representative, in which event "Firm" shall mean such firm. The Firm shall be requested to render a written determination of the unresolved Objection Disputes (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) within forty-five days following its retention, which determination must be in writing and must set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis therefor and must be based solely on (A) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, (B) a single written presentation (which presentation shall be limited to the unresolved Objection Disputes) submitted by each of Buyer and the Representative to the Firm within fifteen days after its retention (which the Firm shall forward to the other Party) and (C) one written response submitted by each of Buyer and the Representative to the Firm within fifteen days after receipt of each presentation (which the Firm shall forward to the other Party) and not on independent review. Buyer and the Representative will instruct the Firm not to assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Representative, on the other hand. The Firm's determination of such Objection Disputes shall be final and binding upon the Parties and not subject to review by a court or other tribunal. The terms of appointment and engagement of the Firm shall be as reasonably agreed upon between Buyer and the Representative, and any associated engagement fees shall initially be allocated 50% to Buyer and 50% to the Representative; provided that such fees, costs and expenses of the Firm will ultimately be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items so submitted to the Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Firm) bears to the total amount of disputed items submitted. For example, if the Representative submits an adjustment of $1,000 for a specific item in the Objection Statement, and if Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative $300 of the $500 contested, then the fees, costs and expenses of the Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300/500) to Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200/500) to the Representative. Except as provided in this Section 3.03(b)(ii), all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Firm shall be borne by the Party incurring such costs and expense. The process set forth in this Section 3.03(b) shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputes related to items required to be reflected on the Closing Statement or included in the calculation of Working Capital, the Cash Amount, the Tax Liability Amount, the Blocker Tax Liability Amount, the outstanding amount of all Funded Debt as of the Adjustment Time or the Transaction Expenses.
(iii)    The Closing Statement (as adjusted by the agreement of the Representative and Buyer and/or the determination of the Firm, as applicable) shall be deemed the final Closing Statement for the purposes of this Section 3.03(b) and, accordingly, shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties.
(iv)    If the Closing Cash Payment based on the final Closing Statement as finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) is greater than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment, (x)
9




Buyer shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final Closing Statement is determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)) pay (A) to Blocker Seller, an amount equal to the applicable portion (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles) of such difference allocable to Blocker Seller (the "Blocker Adjustment Payment") and (B) to the Paying Agent, (I) the amount of such difference, less (II) the Blocker Adjustment Payment (which amount the Company shall instruct the Paying Agent to distribute to the Designated Unitholders based upon each such Designated Unitholder's applicable portion thereof (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles), except as otherwise determined by the Representative in accordance with Section 14.17), in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Blocker Seller or the Paying Agent, as applicable, and (y) Buyer and the Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)) deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund (A) to Blocker Seller, in an amount equal to the applicable portion (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles) of the Adjustment Escrow Fund allocable to Blocker Seller and (B) to the Paying Agent, the remaining portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund (which amount the Company shall instruct the Paying Agent to distribute to the Designated Unitholders based upon each such Designated Unitholder's applicable portion (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles) thereof, except as otherwise determined by the Representative in accordance with Section 14.17), in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts designated by Blocker Seller or the Representative, as applicable.
(v)    If the Closing Cash Payment based on the final Closing Statement
determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) is less than the Estimated Closing Cash Payment, Buyer and the Representative shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after the final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)) deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund (x) to Buyer, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount by which the Estimated Closing Cash Payment is greater than the Closing Cash Payment based on the final Closing Statement determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) (the "Seller Purchase Price Adjustment Payment"), and (B) the Adjustment Escrow Fund, (y) to Blocker Seller, in an amount equal to the applicable portion (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles) of the remaining Adjustment Escrow Fund (if any, after payment pursuant to clause (x)), and (z) to the Paying Agent, the remaining portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund (if any, after payment pursuant to clauses (x) and (y)) (which amount the Company shall instruct the Paying Agent to distribute to the Designated Unitholders based upon each such Designated Unitholder's applicable portion (as determined by the Representative based on the Distribution Principles) thereof, except as otherwise determined by the Representative in accordance with Section 14.17), in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts designated by Buyer, Blocker Seller or the Representative, as applicable. If the Seller Purchase Price Adjustment Payment exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Representative shall promptly inform the Blocker Seller and the Designated Unitholders of such excess, including the Blocker Seller's and each Designated Unitholder's respective payment obligation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, Blocker Seller and the Designated Unitholders, severally and not jointly in accordance with their respective Unitholder Percentage, shall promptly (but in any event within ten Business Days after the final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)) pay Buyer the amount by which the Seller Purchase Price Adjustment Payment exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Fund.
3.04 Cooperation. During the period of time from and after the Representative's receipt of the Closing Statement through the determination of the final Closing Statement in accordance with Section 3.03(b), Buyer shall, and shall cause Blocker, the Surviving Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, consultants, accountants and agents to (a) reasonably cooperate with the Representative and its accountants and other representatives in connection with their review of the Closing
10



Statement (including by providing the Representative with reasonable access during business hours and under reasonable circumstances to the employees of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries who are knowledgeable about the information contained in, and the preparation of, the Closing Statement) and (b) provide reasonable access during business hours and under reasonable circumstances to any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Representative and its accountants or other representatives, in each case, to the extent relevant to the Representative's review of the Closing Statement and determination of the Closing Cash Payment or any component thereof.
3.05 Representative's Determination of the Amounts Owed to Blocker Seller and the Designated Unitholders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to rely solely on the Representative's determination of the portion of the Closing Cash Payment or any Future Distribution Amount payable to Blocker Seller and each Designated Unitholder. Buyer, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company shall not be responsible for any such determinations.

Accordingly, in addition to any other remedy to which a Party may be entitled at Law, a Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief without the posting of any bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof. Each Party further waives any defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate in any action or Proceeding for specific performance or injunctive relief hereunder.

(b)    The Parties agree that no public release, public filing or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the Transactions shall be issued by any Party or any of their Affiliates without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case the applicable Party shall allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on, and shall consider in good faith any comments received by such other Parties to, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.
(c)    Prior to the Closing, Buyer, the Company and the Representative shall mutually agree upon a press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions and Buyer and the Company may issue such press release following the Closing without the consent of any other Party.

14.17 Designation of the Representative.
(a)    Designation. RGHSR is hereby designated to serve as the representative of the Unitholders and Blocker Seller (the "Representative") with respect to the matters expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to be performed by the Representative.
(b)    Authority. By executing a Letter of Transmittal (or, in the case of Blocker Seller, this Agreement), each Designated Unitholder and Blocker Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Representative as such Person's agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection herewith (including the full power and authority on such Person's behalf) (i) to consummate the Transactions, (ii) to pay expenses incurred by or on behalf of such Person or the Representative in connection with the Transactions, including the negotiation and performance of the Transaction Documents (whether incurred on or after the date of this Agreement), (iii) to calculate any amounts payable to such Person pursuant to any Transaction Document, (iv) to execute such further agreements or instruments of assignment in accordance with this Agreement, or as Buyer shall reasonably request, or which the Representative shall consider necessary or proper to effectuate the Transactions, all of which shall have the effect of binding such Person as if such Person had personally executed such agreement or instrument, (v) to resolve any adjustments or issues relating to any component of the Closing Cash Payment or Future Distribution Amounts, (vi) to receive notices and other deliverables hereunder on behalf of such Person, (vii) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Person any amendment or waiver to any Transaction Document, (viii) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Person in connection with the Transactions, (ix) to dispute, compromise, settle and pay any claims made in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions and (x) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Person is permitted or required to do or exercise under the Transaction Documents. Such agency, proxy and attorney-in-fact and all authority granted hereunder are coupled with an interest, are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Representative and shall survive the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of such Person. If, after the execution of this Agreement, any Designated Unitholder or Blocker Seller dies, dissolves or liquidates or becomes incapacitated or incompetent, then the Representative is nevertheless authorized, empowered and directed to act in accordance with this Agreement as if that death, dissolution, liquidation, incapacity or incompetency had not occurred
67



and regardless of notice thereof. All decisions and actions by the Representative shall be binding upon all of the Designated Unitholders and Blocker Seller and neither Blocker Seller nor any Designated Unitholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.
(c)    Representative Holdback. The Representative Holdback shall be withheld and paid directly to an account maintained by the Representative as a fund for the fees and expenses of the Representative incurred in its capacity as such, with any balance of the Representative Holdback not utilized for such purposes to be returned to Blocker Seller and the Designated Unitholders in accordance with their Designated Unitholder Percentages. In the event that the Representative Holdback is insufficient to satisfy the fees and expenses of the Representative incurred in its capacity as such, the Representative shall be entitled to recover any such expenses from any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund to be distributed to Blocker Seller and the Designated Unitholders. The Representative shall also be entitled to recover any remaining expenses directly from Blocker Seller and the Designated Unitholders severally in accordance with their respective Unitholder Percentage (and not jointly or jointly and severally), and the Representative shall not have any obligation to personally advance funds in connection with the performance of any duties under this Agreement.
(d)    Authority; Indemnification. Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Representative, pursuant to Section 14.17(b) (each, an "Authorized Action"), and each Authorized Action shall be binding on Blocker Seller and each Designated Unitholder as fully as if such Person had taken such Authorized Action. Buyer agrees that the Representative, as the Representative, shall have no Liability to Buyer for any Authorized Action, except to the extent that such Authorized Action is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Liability that Blocker Seller or the Designated Unitholders may have to Buyer with respect to such Authorized Action. Blocker Seller and each Designated Unitholder, severally in accordance to its Unitholder Percentage, and not jointly or jointly and severally, will indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Representative against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Representative in connection with any Proceeding to which the Representative is made a party by reason of the fact that the Representative is or was acting as the Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(e)    Duties of the Representative. The Representative shall have only the duties expressly stated in the Transaction Documents, and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Representative is not, by virtue of serving as Representative, a fiduciary of Blocker Seller, any Designated Unitholders or any other Person. The Representative, in its capacity as such, has no personal responsibility or Liability for any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company or any other Person. The Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement.
(f)    Exculpation. The Representative shall not be liable to Blocker Seller or any Designated Unitholder for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it under any Transaction Document, except to the extent that such action or omission is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud. The Representative shall not be liable to Blocker Seller or any Designated Unitholder for any apportionment or distribution of the Transaction Consideration except to the extent that such apportionment or distribution is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted actual fraud. Neither the Representative nor any agent employed by it shall incur any Liability to Blocker Seller or any Designated Unitholder relating to the performance of its other duties hereunder, except to the extent that the Representative is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed actual fraud in connection therewith.
68



14.18 Company Representation. Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its respective Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) and their respective directors, equityholders, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, the Surviving Company and/or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Representative, Blocker Seller or any Designated Unitholder, on the other hand, Kirkland & Ellis LLP may represent the Representative, Blocker Seller or such Designated Unitholder in such dispute, even though the interests of the Representative, Blocker Seller or such Designated Unitholder may be directly adverse to Buyer, the Surviving Company and/or its Subsidiaries and even though Kirkland & Ellis LLP may have represented the Company and/or its Subsidiaries in the Transactions. Buyer and Merger Sub further agree that, as to all communications among Kirkland & Ellis LLP, the Representative, the Company, and of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective Affiliates that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to the Representative and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to any Transaction Document or any Affiliate of any such party) after the Closing, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Kirkland & Ellis LLP to such third party; provided that neither the Surviving Company nor its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Representative. In addition, all of the client files and records in the possession of Kirkland & Ellis LLP related to the Transactions will be property of (and be controlled by) the Representative and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be entitled to retain copies of, or have access to, any such records.
14.19 Acknowledgements. The representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in ARTICLE VI and the representations and warranties of Blocker Seller expressly set forth in ARTICLE V constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties made to Buyer and its Affiliates or any other Person with respect to the Group Companies, the Unitholders, Blocker Seller, Blocker and their respective Affiliates in connection with the Transactions, and Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that any other representations and warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied, are specifically disclaimed by the Group Companies, the Unitholders, Blocker, Blocker Seller and their respective Affiliates and shall not form the basis of any claim against the Group Companies, the Unitholders, Blocker, Blocker Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and its Affiliates have not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, other than the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in ARTICLE VI and the representations and warranties of Blocker Seller expressly set forth in ARTICLE V. In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, acknowledges that Buyer and its Affiliates have conducted, to their satisfaction, an independent investigation of the financial condition and position, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of Blocker and the Group Companies prior to making their determination to proceed with the Transactions and have completed such investigations of Blocker and the Group Companies as they deem necessary and appropriate, and have received all of the information that they have requested from the Company and its Subsidiaries and Blocker in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions. In connection with Buyer's and its Affiliates' investigation of Blocker and the Group Companies, Buyer and its Affiliates have received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Group Companies, and certain business plan information. Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Buyer and its Affiliates are familiar with such uncertainties and that Buyer and its Affiliates are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

Mr. Ronald Winowiecki

RE:
Employment Separation and Severance
Perrigo Company Confidential Supplemental Wavier and Release Agreement 2

Dear Ron:

This Supplemental Waiver and Release Agreement 2 (“Agreement 2”) is entered into by and between Perrigo Company plc (“Perrigo” or “the Company”), and Ronald Winowiecki (“you” or “Employee” or “Executive”) on the date written above. It is made in connection with that certain Waiver and Release Agreement 1 (“Agreement 1”) entered into by the parties as of April 11, 2019.
Pursuant to Agreement 1, you agreed (among other things) to execute and deliver this Agreement 2 to the Company, and the Company agreed (among other things) to pay you the severance pay and benefits described in Agreement 1.
Accordingly, you agree as follows:
1.General Release by Executive. Employee voluntarily and knowingly releases and discharges the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, subsidiaries, divisions, parent companies, employee benefit plans and fiduciaries, both past and present (the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, debts, suits or causes of action, known or unknown, based upon any fact, circumstance, or event occurring or existing at or prior to the Eligible Employee’s execution of this Supplemental Waiver and Release Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claims or actions arising out of or during the Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company and/or separation of employment, including any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., as amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. § 301 et seq., as amended, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq., the Civil Rights Act and any and all other federal, state or local laws, and any contract, tort, or common law claims now or hereafter recognized, including, without limitation, any claim of breach of contract, promissory estoppel, detrimental reliance, wrongful discharge, false imprisonment, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, slander, libel, fraud, invasion of privacy, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and tortious interference with any type of third-party relationship, as well as any and all damages that may arise out of any such claims, including, without limitation, claims for economic loss, lost profits, loss of capital, lost wages, lost earning capacity, emotional distress, mental anguish, personal injuries, punitive damages, or any future damages, and claims of retaliation of any nature, including, but not limited to, the anti-retaliatory provisions of the statutes identified in this

2.    Exclusions from General Release.

This Agreement also does not release Employee’s right to execute and receive the benefits described in attached Agreement B as detailed herein. Employee understands that also excluded from the General Release is the right to file an administrative charge of discrimination (or similar charge) or to participate in any other type of state or federal investigation. However, by signing this Agreement Employee agrees that Employee is waiving any right to monetary or injunctive relief, recovery or reinstatement in connection with any such charge or investigation.
3.    General Release by the Company. In consideration of the agreements of Executive set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, voluntarily and knowingly releases and discharges Executive, his heirs, executors and parties in interest with him, from any and all claims, debts, suits or causes of action, known or unknown, based upon any fact, circumstance, or event occurring or existing at or prior to the Company’s execution of this Waiver and Release Agreement.
4.    Acknowledgements.    In signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that:
(a)    The Company has not provided Employee with any tax advice, and Employee is solely responsible for the tax consequences of compensation provided under this Agreement or under any Company benefit plan;
(b)    Employee has signed this Agreement voluntarily and knowingly in exchange for the consideration described in Agreement 1 and the Policy, which Employee acknowledges as adequate and satisfactory and beyond that to which Employee is otherwise entitled;
(c)    Employee is advised by the Company to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement;
(d)    Employee has been advised to consult an attorney before signing this Agreement and that he has at least forty-five (45) days in which to consider the Agreement and that Employee has signed on the date indicated below after concluding that this Agreement is satisfactory;
(e)    Employee is advised by the Company that this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until seven (7) days after Employee’s execution of this Agreement, provided that the Agreement is not timely revoked in accordance with this paragraph. Employee also understands that Employee may revoke this Agreement during the seven (7) day period. To be effective, Employee’s revocation must be in writing and delivered to Bryan Rojek, Vice President, Global Total Rewards, Human Resources Department, 515 Eastern Ave., Allegan, Michigan 49010 within the seven (7) day revocation period. Employee understands that seven (7) days after Employee’s execution of this Agreement, this Agreement will become effective and enforceable without any further affirmative action by either Employee or the Company;
5.    Please contact Todd Kingma, EVP, General Counsel at 269-686-1941 if you have any questions. On behalf of Perrigo, I thank you for your service and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
