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.


Please see Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a discussion of certain important risk factors that relate to forward-looking statements contained in this report and Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. 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 effect of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the associated economic downturn and supply chain impacts on the Company's business, 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 Notices of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPAs") issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the impact that an adverse result in any such proceeding could 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;alleged price-fixing in the generic pharmaceutical industry, alleged class action and individual securities law claims, and alleged product liability claims and litigation relating to uncertain tax positions, including the NoA and NOPAs; potential impacts of ongoing or future government investigations and regulatory initiatives; resolutionpotential costs and reputational impact of uncertain tax positions;product recalls and sales halts; the impact of U.S. tax reform legislation;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 theour ability to execute and achieve the desired benefits of announced cost-reduction efforts, and strategic and other initiatives. In addition, we may identifyAn adverse result with respect to our appeal of any material outstanding tax assessments or litigation, could ultimately require the use of corporate assets to pay such assessments, damages from third-party claims, and be unablerelated interest and/or penalties, and any such use of corporate assets would limit the assets available for other corporate purposes.

Recent Accounting Standard Pronouncements
    
Below are recent accounting standard updatesAccounting Standard Updates ("ASU") that we are still assessing to determine the effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards could have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted
StandardDescriptionDate of adoptionEffect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Clarifying the Definition of a BusinessThis update clarifies the definition of a business and addresses whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions or business combinations (or divestitures). The guidance includes an initial threshold that an acquired set of assets will not be considered a business if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single tangible or identifiable intangible asset (or group of similar assets). If the acquired set does not pass the initial threshold, then the guidance requires that, to be a business, the set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Different factors are considered to determine whether the set includes a substantive process, such as the inclusion of an organized workforce. Further, the guidance removes language stating that a business need not include all of the inputs and processes that the seller used in operating the business.January 1, 2017
We early adopted this new standard and will apply it prospectively when determining whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions (divestitures) or business combinations (divestitures). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we applied the new guidance when determining whether certain product divestitures represented sales of assets or businesses.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Standard Description Effective Date Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Revenue from Contracts with CustomersASU 2018-14: Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans The core principleThis 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 to related disclosures in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2019-12: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income TaxesThis guidance enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: identify the contract(s) with a customer; identify the performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This guidance allows for two adoption methods, full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach.ASC 740. January 1, 2018We continue to evaluate the implications of adoption of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have completed an initial assessment and are in the process of quantifying the adoption impact, if any, related to certain topics identified through our evaluation process. Our assessment of the new revenue standard has been focused on, but has not been limited to, the concepts of over-time versus point-in-time revenue recognition patterns, variable consideration, and identification of performance obligations. We will not complete our final assessment and quantification of the impact of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements until the adoption date. Our analysis indicates that certain contract manufacturing and private label arrangements may require revenue recognition over-time in situations in which we produce products that have no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, inclusive of a reasonable profit margin. This may result in an acceleration of revenue recognition for certain contractual arrangements as compared to recognition under current accounting literature. We plan to adopt the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.
Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other Than InventoryUnder the new guidance, the tax impact to the seller on the profit from the transfers and the buyer’s deferred tax benefit on the increased tax basis would be recognized when the transfers occur, resulting in the recognition of expense sooner than under historical guidance. The guidance excludes intra-entity transfers of inventory. For intra-entity transfers of inventory, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") decided to retain current GAAP, which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences when the inventory has been sold to an outside party.January 1, 20182021 We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and LiabilitiesThe objective of this simplification update is to improve the decision usefulness of financial instrument reporting, and it principally affects accounting for equity investments currently classified as available for sale and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. Entities will have to measure many equity investments at fair value and recognize changes in fair value in net income rather than other comprehensive income as required under current U.S. GAAP.January 1, 2018We have identified certain investments that will require an adjustment, however, at this time, we are unable to estimate the impact of adopting this standard as the significance of the impact will depend upon our equity investments as of the date of adoption.


Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Update

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost.
We adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes trade receivables and contract assets. The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326 was not material.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets are measured collectively by geographic location. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and for reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the primary basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information may be made for significant changes in a geographic location’s economic conditions. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. These receivables are not included in the collective evaluation.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the instruments’ cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. Trade receivables and contract assets are charged off against the allowance when the balance is no longer deemed collectible.

LeasesThis guidance was issued to increase transparencyotherwise uncategorized product lines and comparability among organizations by requiring recognitionmarkets, none of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees are permitted to make an election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, lessees will apply the new standard aswhich is greater than 10% of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, however lessees will be able to exclude leases that expire as of the implementation date. Early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2019We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements and have commenced the first step of identifying a task force to take the lead in implementing the new Lease standard.
Derivatives and HedgingThis update was issued to enable entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in the financial statements and enhance the transparency and understandability of hedge results. In addition, the amendments simplify the application of hedge accounting in certain situations. Under the new rule, the entity’s ability to hedge non-financial and financial risk components is expanded. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements. Early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2019
We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial InstrumentsThis 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. Early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2020We are currently evaluating the new standard for potential impacts on our receivables, debt, and other financial instruments.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Simplifying the Test for GoodwillThe objective of this update is to reduce the cost and complexity of subsequent goodwill accounting by simplifying the impairment test by removing the Step 2 requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an entity would record an impairment charge based on that difference, limited to the amount of goodwill attributed to that reporting unit. The proposal would not change the guidance on completing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. The proposed guidance would be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted.January 1, 2020
We are currently evaluating the implications of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

segment net sales.


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 $64.5 million and $114.0 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, and $65.8 million and $133.1 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, 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 23ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES


Current Year DivestituresAcquisitions During the Six Months Ended June 27, 2020


Oral Care Assets of High Ridge Brands
On April 1, 2020, we acquired the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands for total purchase consideration of $113.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a working capital settlement. After post-closing adjustments as of June 27, 2020, total cash consideration paid was $106.0 million, net of $2.0 million that we allocated as prepayment of contract consideration for transitional services to be received related to the transaction.

This acquisition includes the children’s oral care value brand, Firefly®, in addition to the REACH® and Dr. Fresh® brands, and a licensing portfolio. The U.S. operations, which represent a significant portion of the business, will be reported in our CSCA segment and the remaining non-U.S. operations will be reported in our CSCI segment.

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, we incurred $2.6 million and $4.1 million of general transaction costs (legal, banking and other professional fees), respectively. The amounts were recorded in Administration expenses within the CSCA segment.

The acquisition of the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands was accounted for as a business combination and has been reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of the acquisition date. From April 1, 2020 through June 27, 2020, the acquisition generated Net sales of $19.8 million and Net loss of $3.5 million, which included $2.6 million of transaction costs and $1.6 million related to inventory costs stepped up to acquisition date fair value.

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 is incomplete. The provisional acquisition amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The final determination may result in asset and liability fair values and tax bases that differ from the preliminary estimates and require changes to the preliminary amounts recognized.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands and the provisional amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):
 Oral Care Assets of High Ridge Brands
Cash consideration$106.0
  
Estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: 
Net working capital$22.2
Property, plant and equipment, net0.7
Definite-lived intangible assets66.8
Goodwill16.3
Net assets acquired$106.0

The goodwill of $16.3 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the anticipated growth from new product sales, sales to new customers, the assembled workforce, and the synergies expected from combining the operations of the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands into Perrigo. Preliminarily, goodwill of $14.6 million and $1.7 million was allocated to our CSCA and CSCI segments, respectively. We are currently evaluating the tax deductibility of the provisional goodwill. We expect some portion to be deductible for income tax purposes. The definite-lived intangible assets acquired consisted of trademarks and trade names, exclusive license agreements, and customer relationships subject to a weighted average useful life of approximately 18 years.

Dexsil®
On February 13, 2020, we acquired Dexsil®,a silicon supplement brand, from RXW Group Nv, for total cash consideration paid of approximately $8.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized the consideration paid as a brand-named intangible asset. We began amortizing the brand intangible over a 25-year useful life. Operating results attributable to the product are included within our CSCI segment.

Steripod®

On January 3, 2017,2020, we sold certainacquired Steripod®, a leading toothbrush accessory brand and innovator in the toothbrush protector market, from Bonfit America Inc. Total consideration paid was $26.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized $24.9 million as a brand-named intangible asset. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to working capital. We began amortizing the brand intangible over a 25-year useful life. Operating results attributable to the product are included within our CSCA segment.
Acquisition Accounted for as a Business Combination During the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Ranir Global Holdings, LLC

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. After post-closing adjustments, total cash consideration paid was $747.7 million, net of $11.5 million cash acquired. We funded the transaction with cash on hand and borrowings under the 2018 Revolver (as defined in Note 10).

Ranir is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is a leading global supplier of private label and branded oral self-care products. Ranir's U.S. operations are reported in our CSCA segment and its non-U.S. operations are reported in our CSCI segment.

The acquisition of Ranir was accounted for as a business combination and has been reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as of the acquisition date. From July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, Ranir generated Net sales of $151.4 million and had $7.6 million of Net income, which is inclusive of a non-recurring charge of $5.7 million related to inventory costs stepped up to acquisition date fair value.

Goodwill of $212.6 million and $80.1 million was allocated to our CSCA and CSCI segments, respectively. We expect $252.3 million to be deductible for income tax purposes. The definite-lived intangible assets acquired consisted of trademarks and trade names, developed product technologies, and customer relationships. Trademarks and trade names were assigned useful lives that ranged from 20 to 25 years. Developed product technologies were assigned 10-year useful lives and customer relationships were assigned 24-year useful lives. Customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. Trademarks and trade names, developed technology, and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") were valued using the relief from royalty method. Significant judgment was applied in estimating the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of cash flow projections, including revenue growth rates, projected profit margins, and discount rates.

During the three months ended June 27, 2020, we completed the allocation by tax jurisdiction and finalized the Ranir opening balance sheet. We recorded measurement period adjustments to the valuation of Deferred income tax liabilities of $1.7 million and a small adjustment to other non-current assets. Therefore, goodwill was adjusted to $292.7 million.

Acquisitions During the Six Months Ended June 29, 2019

Generic Product Acquisition

On May 17, 2019, we purchased the Abbreviated New Drug ApplicationsApplication ("ANDAs"ANDA") for $15.0a generic product used to relieve pain, for $15.7 million in cash, which we capitalized as a developed product technology intangible asset. We launched the product during the third quarter of 2019 and began 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.

Royalty Pharma Contingent Milestone Payments and Financial AssetsReceipts


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

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

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

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

On March 27, 2017, we announced the completed divestment of our Tysabri® financial asset to Royalty Pharma for up to $2.85 billion, which consists of $2.2 billion in cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in milestone payments if the royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma meet specific thresholds in 2018 and 2020, respectively. As a result of this transaction, we transferred the entire financial asset to Royalty Pharma and recorded a $17.1 million gain during the three months ended July 1, 2017. We elected to account for the contingent milestone payments using the fair value option method, and these were recorded at an estimated fair value of $143.2 million as of September 30, 2017. We chose the fair value option as we believe it will help investors understand the potential future cash flows we may receive associated with the two contingent milestones.

We valued the contingent milestone paymentspayment from Royalty Pharma using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma over time until payment of the contingent milestone payments is completed. Volatilitymilestones are resolved. As of June 27, 2020, volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones havehad a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. InRate of return and the valuationestimated fair value of contingent milestone payments performed, we assumed volatility of 30.0% andthe milestones had an inverse relationship, such that a lower rate of return correlates with a higher estimated fair value of 8.05% as of July 1, 2017 and volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.06% as of September 30, 2017.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:

During the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2017,June 27, 2020, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment related to 2020 increased by $2.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, to $99.0 million, which is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The adjustments were driven by higher volatility, higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® compared to the estimates in the prior period, and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments decreased $2.9increased by $5.5 million and $42.1and$15.9 million, respectively, as a resultrespectively. These increases were driven by higher projected global net sales of the decrease inTysabri® and the estimated projectedprobability of achieving the earn-out.

The Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® revenues due towere $337.5 million in 2018, which triggered the launch of Ocrevus® late in$250.0 million milestone payment received during the first quarter of 2017.

Our accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2016 included $84.4 million related to the2019. There is 0 contingent milestone based on 2019 sales of Tysabri® financial asset.

The table below presents a reconciliation. In order for us to receive the remaining contingent milestone payment of $400.0 million, Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments measured at fair value onfrom Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million.

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

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

We have seven reporting units for which we assess goodwill for impairment. We utilize a comparable company market approach, weighted equally with a discounted cash flow analysis, to determine the fair value of the reporting units. We utilize either a relief from royalty method or a multi-period excess earnings method ("MPEEM") to value our indefinite-lived intangible assets, and use a consistent set of projected financial information for the goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment tests. The discounted cash flow analysis that we prepared for goodwill impairment testing purposes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included long-term growth rates ranging from 2.0% to 3.0%. We also utilized discount rates ranging from 7.0% to 14.5%, which were deemed to be commensurate with the required investment return and risk involved in realizing the projected free cash flows of each reporting unit. In addition, we burdened projected free cash flows with the capital spending deemed necessary to support the cash flows of each reporting unit, and applied the tax rates that were applicable to the jurisdictions represented within each reporting unit. We recorded impairment charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to goodwill in the BCH-ROW reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $130.5 million and $273.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended April 2, 2016. For the three months ended October 1, 2016, we recorded impairment charges related to goodwill on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of $675.6 million in the BCH-ROW reporting unit and $62.3 million in the BCH-Belgium reporting unit, as well as indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments of $575.7 million (refer to Note 3).

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

When assessing our definite-lived assets for impairment, we utilize either a MPEEM or a relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the asset and use the forecasts that are consistent with those used in the reporting unit analysis.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES


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


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

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

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


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

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

Interest Rate Swaps and Treasury Locks

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

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

During the six months ended December 31, 2015,19, 2020, we entered into a foreign currency forward interest rate swap to hedge against changes in the benchmark interest rate between the date the interest rate swap was entered into and the date of expected future debt issuance.

The hedge has a notional amount totaling $200.0 million.basis of £155.0 million ($194.5 million).

Cross Currency Swaps

On August 15, 2019, we entered into a cross-currency swap designated as a net investment hedge to hedge the EUR currency exposure of our net investment in European operations. This agreement is a contract to exchange floating-rate Euro payments for floating-rate U.S. dollar payments. The payments are based on a notional basis of €450.0 million ($498.0 million) and settle quarterly.

IRS Audit of Fiscal Years Ended June 29, 2013, June 28, 2014, and June 27, 2015

In connection with its audits of Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Perrigo Company plc, for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2013, June 28, 2014, and June 27, 2015 the IRS issued a draft Notice of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPA") on August 22, 2019, reducing Perrigo Company’s deductible interest expense for fiscal tax years 2014-2015 on $7.5 billion in availabledebts owed by it to Perrigo Company plc. A final NOPA was issued in early May 2020 without change. The debts were incurred in connection with the Elan merger transaction in 2013. The final NOPA caps the interest rate on the debts for U.S. federal tax credits, grantspurposes at 130.0% of the Applicable Federal Rate (a blended rate reduction of 4.0% per annum), on the stated ground that the loans were not negotiated on an arms’-length basis. The final NOPA proposes a reduction in gross interest expense of approximately $480.0 million for fiscal years 2014 and other incentives; changes2015. If the IRS were to prevail in stock-based compensation expense; changesits proposed adjustment, the Company estimates an increase in tax laws or the interpretationexpense of such tax laws (for example, proposals for fundamental U.S. international tax reform); changes in U.S. GAAP; and expiration of or the inability to renew tax rulings or tax holiday incentives.

The total liability for uncertain tax positions was $454.9approximately $170.0 million, and $398.0 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, before considering the federal tax benefit of certain state and local items.

We recognizeexcluding interest and penalties, relatedfor fiscal years ended June 28, 2014 through June 27, 2015. In addition, we expect the IRS to uncertainseek similar adjustments for the period from June 28, 2015 through December 31, 2018 with potential section 163(j) carryover impacts beyond December 2018. If those further adjustments were sustained, based on preliminary calculations and subject to further analysis, the Company's current best estimate is that the additional tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The total amount accrued forexpense will not exceed $200.0 million, excluding interest and penaltiespenalties. No further adjustments beyond this period are expected. The Company strongly disagrees with the IRS position, as reflected in its detailed written response to the

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

On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan to recover $163.6 million of Federal income tax, penalties, and interest assessed and collected by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”),IRS, plus statutory interest thereon from the dates of payment, for the fiscal tax 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). In response to our complaint, the United States District Court for Western District of Michigan scheduled a trial date for late May 2020 which has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS audits of those years culminated in the issuances of two statutory notices of deficiency: (1) on August 27, 2014 for the 2009 and 2010 tax years and (2) on April 20, 2017 for the 2011 and 2012 tax years. The statutory notices of deficiency both included un-agreed income adjustments related principally to transfer pricing adjustments regarding the purchase, distribution, and sale of store-brand OTC pharmaceutical products in the United States. In addition, the statutory notice of deficiency for the 2011 and 2012 tax years included the capitalization of certain expenses that were deducted when paid or incurred in defending

against certain patent infringement lawsuits. We fully paid the assessed amounts of tax, interest, and penalties set forth in the statutory notices and filed timely claims for refund on June 11, 2015 and June 7, 2017 for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. OurUpon the disallowance of such refund claims, for refund were disallowed by certified letters dated August 18, 2015 and July 11, 2017, forwe timely filed the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. Theabove complaint, was timely, based upon the refund claim denials, andwhich 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.year, for a total of $163.6 million. 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.

On December 22, 2016, we received The total cumulative deferred charge that the Company is seeking to receive in this litigation is approximately $101.8 million, which reflects (i) a noticededuction of proposed adjustment for$29.7 million from the total reflected above due to overpayments credited to succeeding years and (ii) the impact of a previously conceded royalty due to Perrigo U.S. on all omeprazole sales that equates to 24.0% of the above refund claims. That 24.0% concession would also apply to any omeprazole adjustments that may be asserted by the IRS auditfor future years.

On July 11, 2017,April 26, 2019, we received a draft notice of proposed adjustment associated withrevised NOPA from the IRS regarding transfer pricing positions forrelated to the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. The NOPA carries forward the IRS's theory from its 2017 draft NOPA that when Elan took over the future funding of Athena's in-process research and development after acquiring Athena wasin 1996, Elan should have paid a substantially higher royalty rate for the originatorright 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 the patents associated with Tysabri® prior to the acquisition$843.0 million, which represents additional tax and a 40.0% penalty. This amount excludes consideration of Athena by Elan in 1996. The amount of adjustmentsoffsetting tax attributes and any potential interest that may be asserted byimposed. We strongly disagree with the IRS inposition and will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including those available under the final noticeU.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation. Accordingly, on April 14, 2020, we filed a request for Competent Authority Assistance with the IRS and we are waiting for notification of proposed adjustment cannot be quantified at this time; however, based onits acceptance. No payment of the draft noticeadditional amounts is required until the matter is resolved administratively, judicially, or through treaty negotiation.

On December 22, 2016, we received a NOPA from the amountIRS regarding the deductibility of litigation costs related to be assessed may be material.the IRS audit of Athena for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. We strongly disagree with the IRS’s position as asserted in the draft noticeNOPA and are contesting it.

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 strongly 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. In connection with that, Elan Pharma was granted leave by the Irish High Court on February 25, 2019 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 ongoing auditsbeen breached, not on the merits of the NoA itself. The High Court held a hearing in multiple other jurisdictionsJune 2020 regarding the resolutionjudicial review proceedings and we are now awaiting the Court's judgment. If the judgment is favorable, 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. If the judicial review proceedings are ultimately unsuccessful in establishing that Irish Revenue's issuance of which remains uncertain. These jurisdictions include, but are not limitedthe NoA breached our legitimate expectations, Elan Pharma will reactivate its appeal to challenge the United States, merits of the NoA before the Tax Appeals Commission.

Israel and France. In addition to the matters discussed above, the IRS is currently auditing our fiscal years ended June 29, 2013, June 28, 2014, andTax Authority Audit of Fiscal Year Ended June 27, 2015. 2015 and Calendar Years Ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2017

The Israel Tax Authority is currently auditing our fiscal yearsyear ended June 29, 201327, 2015, and June 28, 2014. The French Tax Authority is currently auditing thecalendar years ended December 2014,31, 2015, December 2015,31, 2016 and December 2016.31, 2017.

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable and that we prepare our tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audit and 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 and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties, and/or interest assessments, which could be material.
Based on the final resolution of tax examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts or law, expirations of statute of limitations in specific jurisdictions or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions - one or more of which may occur within the next twelve months - it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change materially from those recorded as of June 27, 2020. However, we are not able to estimate a reasonably possible range of how these events may impact our unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.
    
NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


In view of the inherent difficulties of predicting the outcome of various types of legal proceedings, we cannot determine the ultimate resolution of the matters described below. We establish reserves for litigation and regulatory matters when losses associated with the claims become probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for those matters. For matters where the likelihood or extent of a loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated as of September 30, 2017,June 27, 2020, we have not recorded a loss reserve. If certain of these matters are determined against us, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently believe we have valid defenses to the claims in these lawsuits and intend to defend these lawsuits vigorously regardless of whether or not we have a loss reserve. Other than what is disclosed below, we do not expect the outcome of the litigation matters to which we are currently subject to, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

(“Akorn”) alleges tortious interference and antitrust violations against us and Fera Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Fera”)generic pricing multidistrict litigation MDL No. 2724 (United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania). This multidistrict litigation, arises from our acquisition of bacitracin ophthalmic ointment from Fera in 2013. Akorn assertswhich has many cases that do not include Perrigo, includes class action and opt-out cases for federal and state antitrust claims, under Sections 1 and 2as well as complaints filed by various of the Sherman Antitrust ActStates alleging that we and Fera conspired to monopolize, attempted to monopolize, and did unlawfully monopolize the market for sterile bacitracin ophthalmic ointment in the United States through the useviolations of an exclusive agreement with a supplier of sterile bacitracin active pharmaceutical ingredient. The lawsuit is currently pending in the Southern District of New York. Trial was rescheduled from January 2018 to February 2018. Akorn seeks damages, injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees. Any award ofstate antitrust damages would be subject to trebling under antitrust laws. An estimate of any possible loss cannot be determined at this time.

On July 14, 2020, the court issued an order designating the following cases to proceed on a more expedited basis than the other cases in MDL No. 2724: (a) the States’ May 2019 case alleging an overarching conspiracy involving more than 120 products (which does not name Perrigo a defendant) and (b) class actions alleging “single drug” conspiracies involving Clomipramine, Pravastatin, and Clobetasol. Perrigo is a defendant in the Clobetasol cases but not the others.
We believe the claims are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. We have preserved our indemnification rights against Fera for potential liability, defense costs, and expenses incurred as a result of this litigation.

Class Action Complaints
Price-Fixing Lawsuits

(a) Single Drug Conspiracy Class Actions

We have been named as a co-defendant with certain other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in a number of casesclass actions alleging that we and other manufacturers of the same product engaged in anti-competitive behaviorsingle-product conspiracies to fix or raise the prices of certain drugs and/or allocate customers for those products starting, in some instances, as early as June 2013. The class actions were filed on behalf of putative classes of (a) direct purchasers, (b) end payors, and (c) indirect resellers. The products in question are Clobetasol gel, Desonide, and Econazole. TheseThe court denied motions to dismiss each of the complaints along withalleging “single drug” conspiracies involving Perrigo, and the cases are proceeding in discovery. As noted above, the Clobetasol cases have been designated to proceed on a more expedited schedule than the other cases. That schedule has not yet been set.

(b) “Overarching Conspiracy” Class Actions

The same 3 putative classes, including (a) direct purchasers, (b) end payors, and (c) indirect resellers, have filed 2 sets of class action complaints filed againstalleging that Perrigo and other companies alleging pricemanufacturers (and some individuals) entered into an “overarching conspiracy” that involved allocating customers, rigging bids and raising, maintaining, and fixing withprices for various products. Each class brings claims for violations of Sections 1 and 3 of the Sherman Antitrust Act as well as several state antitrust and consumer protection statutes.

Filed in June 2018, and later amended in December 2018 (with respect to 15direct purchasers) and April 2019 (with respect to end payors and indirect resellers), the first set of “overarching conspiracy” class actions include allegations against Perrigo and approximately 27 other manufacturers involving 135 drugs have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings as partwith allegations dating back to March 2011. The allegations against Perrigo concern only 2 formulations (cream and ointment) of 1 of the products at issue, Nystatin. The court denied motions to dismiss the first set of “overarching conspiracy” class actions, and they are proceeding in discovery. None of these cases are included in the group of cases on a case captioned In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2724. Pursuantmore expedited schedule pursuant to the court’s schedule stagingJuly 14, 2020 order.

In December 2019, both the end payor and indirect reseller class plaintiffs filed a second set of "overarching conspiracy” class actions against Perrigo, dozens of other manufacturers of generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and certain individuals dating back to July 2009 (end payors) or January 2010 (indirect resellers). The Direct Purchaser plaintiffs filed their second round overarching conspiracy complaint in February 2020 with claims dating back to July 2009. This second set of overarching complaints allege conspiracies relating to the sale of various casesproducts that are not at issue in phases, we havethe earlier-filed overarching conspiracy class actions, the majority of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The indirect reseller complaint alleges that Perrigo conspired in connection with its sales of Imiquimod cream, Desonide cream and ointment, and Hydrocortisone Valerate cream. The end payor and direct purchaser complaints allege that Perrigo conspired in connection with its sale of the following drugs: Betamethasone Dipropionate, Bromocriptine Mesylate, Ciclopirox, Clindamycin Phosphate, Fenofibrate, Halobetasol Proprionate, Hydrocortisone Valerate, Permethrin, and Triamcinolone Acetonide. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaints, and responses are currently stayed.

On March 11, 2020, the indirect reseller plaintiffs filed a motion to amend their second round December 2019 complaint. The proposed amended complaint adds additional products and allegations to the original complaint. Perrigo is discussed in connection with allegations concerning 1 additional drug, Betamethasone Dipropionate lotion. Responses to this complaint are currently stayed pending court order.

pharmaceutical products starting in 2013. On December 21, 2018, an amended complaint was filed that adds additional products and allegations against a total of 39 manufacturers for 33 products. The only allegations specific to Perrigo relate to Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, Nystatin cream, and Nystatin ointment. Perrigo moved to dismiss this complaint on February 21, 2019. The motion was denied on August 15, 2019. The case is proceeding in discovery. On February 3, 2020, the plaintiffs requested leave to file a second amended complaint.

On August 3, 2018, a large managed care organization filed a complaint against Perrigo alleging price-fixing and customer allocation concerning 17 different products among 27 manufacturers including Perrigo. The only allegations specific to Perrigo concern Clobetasol. Perrigo moved to dismiss this complaint on February 21, 2019. Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in April 2019 that adds additional products and allegations. The amended allegations that concern Perrigo include: Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, and Nystatin. The motion to dismiss was denied on August 15, 2019. The case is proceeding in discovery.

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.

Proceedings in the case, including the filing of a complaint, have been stayed at the request of the plaintiffs.

On December 11, 2019, a health care service company filed a complaint against Perrigo and 38 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other multi-district litigation ("MDL") complaints relatingnaming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, and Nystatin cream/ointment.

On March 1, 2020, Harris County of Texas filed a complaint against Perrigo New York, Inc. and 29 other pharmaceutical companies alleging an overarching conspiracy to fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The products at issue that plaintiffs claim Perrigo manufacturers or sells include: Adapalene, Betamethasone Dipropionate, Ciclopirox, Clindamycin, Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, Ethinyl Estradiol/Levonorgestrel, Fenofibrate, Fluocinolone, Fluocinonide, Gentamicin, Glimepiride, Griseofulvin, Halobetasol Propionate, Hydrocortisone Valerate, Ketoconazole, Mupirocin, Nystatin, Olopatadine, Permethrin, Prednisone, Promethazine, Scopolamine, and Triamcinolone Acetonide. The complaint was originally filed in the Southern District of Texas but has been transferred to the MDL. Harris County amended its complaint in May 2020. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

In May 2020, 7 health plans filed a writ of summons in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia concerning an as-yet unfiled complaint against Perrigo, 3 dozen other manufacturers, and 17 individuals, concerning alleged antitrust violations in connection with the pricing and sale of generic prescription pharmaceutical products. No complaint has yet been filed, so the precise allegations and products at issue are not yet clear. In addition, Defendants are in the process of being served, and proceedings in the case will likely be stayed.

On June 9, 2020, a health insurance carrier filed a complaint against Perrigo New York, Inc. and 25 other manufacturers alleging an overarching conspiracy to allocate customers and/or fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other MDL complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, and Nystatin. The complaint was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and will be transferred into the MDL. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

State Attorney General Complaint

On June 10, 2020, the Connecticut Attorney General’s office filed a lawsuit on behalf of Connecticut and 50 other states and territories against Perrigo, and 35 other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, and certain individuals (including 1 former and 1 current Perrigo employee), alleging an overarching conspiracy to allocate customers and/or fix, raise or stabilize prices of eighty products. The allegations against Perrigo focus on the following drugs: Adapalene Cream, Ammonium Lactate cream and lotion, Betamethasone dipropionate lotion, Bromocriptine tablets, Calcipotriene Betamethasone Dipropionate (Cal Beta Dip) Ointment, Ciclopirox cream and solution, Clindamycin solution, Desonide cream and ointment, Econazole cream, Erythromycin Base Alcohol solution, Fluticasone cream and lotion, Halobetasol cream and ointment, Hydrocortisone Acetate suppositories, Hydrocortisone Valerate cream, Imiquimod cream, Methazolamide tablets, Nystatin ointment, Prochlorperazine suppositories, Promethazine HCL suppositories, Tacrolimus ointment, and Triamcinolone cream and ointment. The Complaint was filed in the District of Connecticut, but is being transferred into the MDL. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint, and responses are currently stayed.

Canadian Class Action Complaint

In June 2020, an end payor filed a class action in Ontario, Canada against Perrigo and 29 other manufacturers alleging an overarching conspiracy to allocate customers and/or fix, raise or stabilize prices of dozens of products, most of which Perrigo neither makes nor sells. The product conspiracies allegedly involving Perrigo focus on the same products as those involved in other MDL complaints naming Perrigo: Clobetasol, Desonide, Econazole, and Nystatin. Perrigo has not yet responded to the complaint.

At this stage, we cannot reasonably predictestimate the outcome of the liability if any, associated with these claims.the claims listed above.


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

Note 14


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.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 Fundcase and the Wilson case. TheIn the amended complaint, the lead plaintiffs seek to represent a class3 classes of shareholders: (i) shareholders forwho purchased shares during the period from April 21, 2015 through May 3, 2017 and identifies three subclasses - shareholders who traded during the entire period on the U.S. exchanges; (ii) shareholders who tradedpurchased shares during the entiresame period on the Tel Aviv exchange; and (iii) shareholders who traded during the period whileowned shares on November 12, 2015 and held such stock through at least 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 2015 (the final day of the Mylan tender offer was pending (April 21, 2015 through November 13, 2015).offer) regardless of whether the shareholders tendered their shares. The amended complaint names as defendants us and 11 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo (Mses. Judy Brown, Laurie Brlas, Jacqualyn Fouse, Ellen Hoffing, and Messrs. Joe Papa, Marc Coucke, Gary Cohen, Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, and Donal O’Connor). The amended complaint alleges violations of Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑10b5) 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 six6 generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleges improper accounting for the Tysabri® royalty stream. The amended complaint does not include an estimate of damages. In AugustDuring 2017, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, which the amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed their oppositionopposed. On July 27, 2018, the court issued an opinion and order granting the defendants’ motions to dismiss in October 2017. The defendants filed replies in support ofpart and denying the motions to dismiss in November 2017.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, the defense against the Mylan tender offer, and the alleged price fixing activities with respect to 6 generic prescription pharmaceuticals. The defendants who remain in the case (the Company, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown) have filed answers denying liability, and the discovery stage of litigation has not indicated whether there will be oral argument of the motions or whether the court will decide the motions on the papers.begun.

On November 1,14, 2019, the court granted the lead plaintiffs’ motion and certified 3 classes for the case: (i) all those who purchased shares between April 21, 2015 through May 2, 2017 Carmignac Gestion, S.A.,inclusive on a U.S. exchange and were damaged thereby; (ii) all those who purchased shares between April 21, 2015 through May 2, 2017 inclusive on the Tel Aviv exchange and were damaged thereby; and (iii) all those who owned shares as of November 12, 2015 and held such stock through at least 8:00 a.m. on November 13, 2015 (whether or not a person tendered shares in response to the Mylan tender offer) (the "tender offer class"). Defendants 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 lawsuitpetition for leave to appeal in the Third Circuit challenging the certification of the tender offer class. On April 30, 2020, the Third Circuit denied leave to appeal. The District Court has approved the issuance of a notice of the pendency of the class action.

Unless otherwise noted, each of the lawsuits discussed in the following sections is not a securities class action. The case is styled Carmignac Gestion, S.A. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al., and was filedpending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.Jersey and has been assigned to the same judges hearing the Roofers’ Pension Fund case. The allegations in the complaints relate to events during certain portions of the 2015 through 2017 calendar years, including the period of the Mylan tender offer. All but one of these lawsuits allege violations of

federal securities laws, but none are class actions. NaN lawsuit (Highfields) alleges only state law claims. We intend to defend all these lawsuits vigorously.

Carmignac, First Manhattan and Similar Cases. The following 7 cases were filed by the same law firm and generally make the same factual assertions but, at times, differ as to which securities laws violations they allege:
CaseDate Filed
Carmignac Gestion, S.A. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.11/1/2017
First Manhattan Co. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.2/16/2018; amended 4/20/2018
Nationwide Mutual Funds, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.10/29/2018
Schwab Capital Trust, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.1/31/2019
Aberdeen Canada Funds -- Global Equity Fund, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.2/22/2019
Principal Funds, Inc., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.3/5/2020
Kuwait Investment Authority, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.3/31/2020

The original complaints in the Carmignac case and the First Manhattan case named Perrigo, Mr. Papa, Ms. Brown, and Mr. Coucke as defendants. Mr. Coucke was dismissed as a defendant after the plaintiffs agreed to apply the July 2018 ruling in the Roofers' Pension Fund case to these two cases. The complaints in each of the other cases name only Perrigo, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown as defendants.

Each complaint asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act sectionsSections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5),10b-5 thereunder) and all cases except Aberdeen assert claims under Section 14(e), and 18 of the Securities Exchange Act against all defendants, as well as 20(a) control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act against the individual defendants. In general,The control person claims against the plaintiff’s allegations focus on events duringindividual defendants are limited to the period from April 2015 through April 2016. Plaintiff contends that2016 in the defendants providedCarmignac case. The complaints in the Carmignac and First Manhattan cases also assert claims under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Each complaint alleges inadequate disclosure throughout the perioddisclosures concerning the valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance we 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 2015.2015, and, in each of the cases other than Carmignac, alleged price fixing activities with respect to 6 generic prescription pharmaceuticals. The First Manhattan complaint also alleges improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. With the exception of Carmignac, each of these cases relates to events during the period from April 2015 through May 2017. Many of the allegations in this newly-filed casethese cases overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, though the Nationwide Mutual, Schwab Capital, Aberdeen, Principal Funds and Kuwait complaints do not include the factual allegations that the court dismissed in the July 2018 ruling in the Roofers' Pension Fund case.

After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties in Carmignac and First Manhattan conferred and agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in their cases. The later filed cases adopted a similar posture. The defendants in the Carmignac and other cases listed above filed motions to dismiss addressing the additional allegations in such cases. On July 31, 2019, the court granted such motions to dismiss in part and denied them in part. That ruling applies to each of the above cases. The defendants have filed (or with respect to the most recent cases intend to file) answers in each case denying liability. Each case other than Kuwait Investment Authority is currently in the discovery phase, and the plaintiffs in the latter case are expected to participate in discovery activities with the other plaintiffs.

Mason Capital, Pentwater and Similar Cases. The following 8 cases were filed by the same law firm and generally make the same factual allegations:
CaseDate Filed
Mason Capital L.P., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.1/26/2018
Pentwater Equity Opportunities Master Fund Ltd., et al.  v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.1/26/2018

Burlington Loan Management DAC v. Perrigo Co. plc, et al.2/12/2020
Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited v. Perrigo Co. plc, et al.3/2/2020

The complaints in the Mason Capital case and the Pentwater case originally named Perrigo and 11 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo as defendants. In the July 2018 Roofers’ Pension Fund ruling, the court dismissed without prejudice each of the defendants other than Perrigo, Mr. Papa and Ms. Brown from that case; these plaintiffs later agreed that this ruling would apply to their cases as well. The complaints in each of the other cases in the above table name only Perrigo, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown as defendants.

Each complaint asserts claims under Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act against all defendants, as well as control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaints in the WCM case and the Universities Superannuation Scheme case also assert claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

Each complaint alleges inadequate disclosure during the tender offer period in 2015 and at various times concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to 6 generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. The WCM complaint also makes these allegations for the period through May 2017 and the Universities Superannuation Scheme complaint also concerns certain times during 2016. Many of the factual allegations in these cases overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, and the Mason Capital and Pentwater cases include factual allegations similar to those in the Carmignac case described above.

After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties in each of the above casesconferred and agreed that the ruling in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case would apply equally to the common allegations in their cases. The plaintiff doesdefendants in each of these cases have filed answers denying liability, and each of the cases is currently in the discovery phase.

Harel Insurance and TIAA-CREF Cases. The following 2 cases were filed by the same law firm and generally make the same factual allegations relating to the period from February 2014 through May 2017 (in the Harel case) and from August 2014 through May 2017 (in the TIAA-CREF case):
CaseDate Filed
Harel Insurance Company, Ltd., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.2/13/2018
TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC., et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.4/20/2018

The complaints in the Harel and TIAA-CREF cases originally named Perrigo and 13 current or former directors and officers of Perrigo as defendants (adding 2 more individual defendants not provide an estimatesued in the other cases described in this section). In the July 2018 Roofers’ Pension Fund ruling, the court dismissed without prejudice 8 of damages. We intendthe 11 defendants other than Perrigo, Mr. Papa and Ms. Brown from that case. These plaintiffs later agreed that that ruling would apply to defendthese cases as well and also dismissed their claims against the two additional individuals that only these plaintiffs had named as defendants.

Each complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder against all defendants, as well as control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Securities

Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaint in the Harel case also asserts claims based on Israeli securities laws.

Each of the complaints alleges inadequate disclosure around the tender offer events in 2015 and at various times during the relevant periods concerning valuation and integration of Omega, the financial guidance provided by us during that period, alleged price fixing activities with respect to 6 generic prescription pharmaceuticals, and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset from February 2014 until the withdrawal of past financial statements in April 2017.

After the court issued its July 2018 opinion in the Roofers’ Pension Fund case, the parties in the Harel and TIAA-CREF cases conferred and agreed that such ruling would apply equally to the common allegations in their cases. The defendants in each of these cases have filed answers denying liability, and each of the cases is currently in the discovery phase.

Other Cases Related to Events in 2015-2017. Certain allegations in the following 3 cases also overlap with the allegations of the June 2017 amended complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case and with allegations in one or more of the other individual cases described in the sections above:
CaseDate Filed
Sculptor Master Fund (f/k/a OZ Master Fund, Ltd.), et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.2/6/2019
Highfields Capital I LP, et al. v. Perrigo Company plc, et al.6/4/2020
BlackRock Global Allocation Fund, Inc., et al. v. Perrigo Co. plc, et al.4/21/2020

Each of the above complaints names Perrigo, Mr. Papa, and Ms. Brown as defendants.

The Sculptor Master Fund (formerly OZ) complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder against all defendants, as well as control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The parties have agreed that the court's rulings in July 2018 in the Roofers' Pension Fund case and in July 2019 in the Carmignac and related cases will apply to this case as well. The defendants have filed answers denying liability. The plaintiffs are participating in the discovery proceedings in the Roofers' Pension Fund case and the various individual cases described above.

The BlackRock Global complaint also asserts claims under Securities Exchange Act section 10(b) (and SEC Rule 10b-5) and section 14(e) against all defendants and section 20(a) control person claims against the individual defendants largely based on the same 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 6 generic prescription pharmaceuticals, alleged lower performance in the generic prescription drug business during 2015 and alleged improper accounting for the Tysabri® asset. The parties have begun discussions about the schedule for how this case should proceed.

The Highfields federal case complaint asserted claims under Sections 14(e) and 18 of the Securities Exchange Act against all defendants, as well as control person liability under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act against the individual defendants. As originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the Highfields complaint also alleged claims under the Massachusetts Unfair Business Methods Law (chapter 93A) and Massachusetts common law claims of tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment. The factual allegations generally were similar to the factual allegations in the Amended Complaint in the Roofers' Pension Fund case described above, except that the Highfields plaintiffs did not include allegations about alleged collusive pricing of generic prescription drugs. In March 2020, the District of Massachusetts court granted defendants’ motion and transferred the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey so that the activities in the case could proceed in tandem with the other cases in the District of New Jersey described above. After the transfer, in June 2020, the Highfields plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their federal lawsuit. The same Highfields plaintiffs the same day then filed a new lawsuit vigorously. in Massachusetts State Court asserting the same factual allegations as in their federal lawsuit and alleging only Massachusetts state law claims under the Massachusetts Unfair Business Methods Law (chapter 93A) and Massachusetts common law claims of tortious interference with prospective economic

ThreeNaN cases are currently pending.were filed; 1 was voluntarily dismissed in each of 2017 and 2018 and 1 was stayed in 2018. We are consulting Israeli counsel about our response to these allegations and we intend to defend these casesthis case vigorously.


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

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

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

The plaintiff indicates an initial, preliminary class damages estimate of 2.7 billion NIS (approximately $760.0 million at 1 NIS = $0.28 cent)0.28 cents). After the other 2 cases filed in Israel were voluntarily dismissed, the plaintiff in this case agreed to stay this case pending the outcome of the Roofers’ Pension Fund case in the U.S. (described above). The Israeli court approved the stay, and this case is now stayed. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.


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

On July 12, 2017,January 3, 2019, a shareholder filed a complaint against the plaintiffCompany, our CEO Murray Kessler, and our former CFO Ronald Winowiecki in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Masih v. Perrigo Company, et al.). Plaintiff purported to represent a class of shareholders for the period November 8, 2018 through December 20, 2018, inclusive. The complaint alleged 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 contended 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 did 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 1 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 3 individual defendants. All defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss, and the motion was fully briefed. On January 23, 2020, the court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied it in part, dismissing Mr. Roehrhoff as a defendant and dismissing allegations of inadequate disclosures related to the audit by Irish Revenue during the period March 2018 through October 30, 2018. The court permitted the plaintiffs to pursue their claims against us, Mr. Kessler, and Mr. Winowiecki related to disclosures after Perrigo received the October 30, 2018 audit findings letter and later events through December 20, 2018. The Defendants filed answers on February 13, 2020 denying

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

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

Eltroxin

During October and November 2011, nine applications to certify a class action lawsuit were filed in various courtsbrought in Israel related to Eltroxin, a prescription thyroid medication manufactured by a third partymaking similar factual allegations for the same period as those asserted in the In re Perrigo Company plc Sec. Litig case in New York federal court. This case alleges that persons who invested through the Tel Aviv stock exchange can assert claims under Israeli securities law that will follow the liability principles of Sections 10(b) and distributed in Israel by our subsidiary, Perrigo Israel Agencies Ltd. The respondents included our subsidiaries, Perrigo Israel Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and/or Perrigo Israel Agencies Ltd., the manufacturers20(a) of the product, and various healthcare providers whoU.S. Securities Exchange Act. The plaintiff does not provide healthcare services as partan estimate of class damages. In 2019, the compulsory healthcare system in Israel.

One of the applications was dismissed and the remaining eight applications were consolidated into one application. The applications arose from the 2011 launch of a reformulated version of Eltroxin in Israel. The consolidated application generally alleges that the respondents (a) failed to timely inform patients, pharmacists and physicians about the change in the formulation; and (b) failed to inform physicians about the need to monitor patients taking the new formulation in order to confirm patients were receiving the appropriate dose of the drug. As a result, claimants allege they incurred the following damages: (a) purchases of product that otherwise would not have been madecourt granted 2 requests by patients had they been aware of the reformulation; (b) adverse events to some patients resulting from an imbalance of thyroid functions that could have been avoided; and (c) harm resulting from the patients' lack of informed consent prior to the use of the reformulation.

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

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

Tysabri® Product Liability Lawsuits

We and our collaborator Biogen are co-defendants in product liability lawsuits arising out of the occurrence of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, a serious brain infection, and serious adverse events, including deaths, which occurred in patients taking Tysabri®. Each co-defendant would be responsible for 50% of losses and expenses arising out of any Tysabri® product liability claims. During calendar year 2016, one caseproceedings in the U.S. was settledUnited States. Perrigo filed a further request for a stay in February 2020, and two others were dismissed with prejudice. In 2017, seven other cases were dismissed with prejudice. While wethe court granted the stay indefinitely. We intend to vigorously defend the remaining lawsuits, management cannot predict how these cases will be resolved. Adverse results in one or more of these lawsuits could result in substantial judgments against us.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 ("Holdco") (together the Sellers)"Sellers") in accordance with clause 26.2 of the Share Purchase Agreement dated November 6, 2014 ("SPA") and the rules of the Belgian Centre for Arbitration and
Perrigo Company plc - Item 1
Note 14


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 subsequently filed papers seeking permission to introduce an additional counterclaim theory of recovery related to the Irish tax issues disclosed by the Company such that if the position of the Irish tax authorities prevails, Alychlo would have further basis for its counterclaim against Perrigo. In June 2019, the Tribunal denied permission for Alychlo to introduce the additional counterclaim and dismissed certain aspects of the original Alychlo counterclaim. There can be no assurance that our Claim will be successful, and the Sellers deny liability for the Claim. WeTo the extent that aspects of Alychlo’s counterclaim survived the Tribunal’s ruling in June 2019, we deny that Alychlo is entitled to any relief (including monetary relief) under the counterclaim.. The arbitration proceedings are confidential as required by the SPA and the rules of the CEPANI.


Other Matters

Our Board of Directors received a shareholder demand letter dated October 30, 2018 relating to the allegations in the securities cases and price fixing lawsuits described above. The letter demands that the Board of Directors initiate an action against certain current and former executives and Board members to recover damages allegedly caused to the Company. In response, the Company reminded the shareholder that any derivative claim can only proceed in accordance with Irish law, the law that governs the Company’s internal affairs. The shareholder responded that he would file a lawsuit asserting derivative claims.

On October 2, 2019, the shareholder filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey styled Krueger derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant Perrigo Company plc v. Alford, et al. The case was assigned to the same judges who are handling the Roofers' Pension Fund securities class action and related opt out cases described above. In addition to the Company, the lawsuit names as defendants current Board members Alford, Classon, Karaboutis, Kindler, O’Connor, Parker, and Samuels, current CEO Kessler, former Board members Smith, Brlas, Cohen, Fouse, Hoffing, Jandernoa, Kunkle, and Morris, former CEO Hendrickson, former CEO Papa, former CFO Brown, former CFO Winowiecki, and former Executive Vice Presidents Boothe and Coucke. The lawsuit seeks to authorize the shareholder to pursue claims on behalf of the Company against all the individual defendants for breach of their fiduciary duties and for unjust enrichment, and against the current director defendants, former director Mr. Smith, and current CEO Mr. Kessler for violations of Securities Exchange Act §§ 14(a) (proxy statement disclosures) and 29(b) (disgorgement as a result of alleged violations of § 14(a)). The complaint alleges that the following events indicate that the individuals in their respective capacities failed to exercise appropriate control over the management of the Company and made inadequate public disclosures

concerning the integration of Omega after acquisition; the Company’s past and prospective organic growth; the defense against the Mylan 2015 tender offer; the alleged collusive pricing activities regarding generic prescription products; the accounting by the Company for the Tysabri® royalty stream; the 2018 Irish tax audit including potential liabilities for Irish taxes; and the April 2019 assertion of tax liabilities by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (many of these factual events also underlie the multiple securities cases discussed earlier in this Note 14). All defendants have filed motions to dismiss asserting various reasons to dismiss. Plaintiff filed his opposition in March 2020. Defendants’ filed replies in support of dismissal in June 2020. The motions are fully briefed and pending. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Talcum Powder

The Company has been named, together with other manufacturers, in product liability lawsuits in state courts in California, Florida, Missouri and Illinois and in the Southern District of Mississippi alleging that the use of body powder products containing talcum powder causes mesothelioma and lung cancer due to the presence of asbestos. The Company has been named in 32 individual lawsuits seeking compensatory and punitive damages and has accepted a tender for a portion of the defense costs and liability from a retailer for 1 additional matter. The Company has not manufactured or sold the types of talcum powder products described in such lawsuits since 1999. The Company has several defenses and intends to aggressively defend these lawsuits.

Ranitidine

After regulatory bodies announced worldwide that ranitidine may potentially contain N-nitrosodimethylamine ("NDMA"), a known environmental contaminant, the Company promptly began testing its externally-sourced ranitidine API and ranitidine-based products. On October 8, 2019, the Company halted shipments of the product based upon preliminary results and on October 23, 2019, the Company made the decision to conduct a voluntary retail market withdrawal.

In February 2020, the resulting actions involving Zantac and other ranitidine products were transferred for coordinated pretrial proceedings to a Multi-District Litigation (In re Zantac/Ranitidine Products Liability Litigation MDL No. 2924) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. This MDL now includes 3 master complaints. The Company is named in 2 of those: the Master Personal Injury Complaint and the Consolidated Consumer Class Action Complaint.

As of July 15, 2020, the Company has been named in NaN of the MDL’s consolidated personal injury lawsuits in various federal courts alleging that plaintiffs developed various types of cancers or are placed at higher risk of developing cancer as a result of ingesting products containing ranitidine. The Company is named in these lawsuits with manufacturers of the national brand Zantac® and other manufacturers of ranitidine products distributors, repackagers,and/or retailers. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages, and in some instances seek applicable remedies under state consumer protection laws. The Company has also been named in a Complaint brought by the New Mexico Attorney General based on the following theories: violation of a New Mexico public nuisance statute, NMSA 30-8-1 to -14; common law nuisance; and negligence and gross negligence. The Company is named in this lawsuit with manufacturers of the national brand Zantac® and other manufacturers of ranitidine products and/or retailers. Some of the Company’s retailer customers are seeking indemnity from the Company for a portion of their defense costs and liability relating to these and other consolidated cases. We intend to defend all of these lawsuits vigorously.

Highlights

Effective July 29, 2020, our board of directors appointed Katherine C. Doyle to serve as a director of the Company and Item 1. Note 16.a member of its Audit Committee.


2017 Year-to-Date HighlightsOn June 19, 2020, Perrigo Finance Unlimited Company (“Perrigo Finance”) issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.150% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2020 Notes") and received net proceeds of $737.1 million after fees and market discount. Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2020. The 2020 Notes will mature on June 15, 2030. The 2020 Notes are governed by the 2020 Indenture. The 2020 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Perrigo and, no other subsidiary of Perrigo guarantees the 2020 Notes. There are no restrictions under the 2020 Notes on Perrigo's ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries. Perrigo Finance may redeem the 2020 Notes in whole or in part at any time for cash at the make-whole redemption prices described in the 2020 Indenture. On July 6, 2020, the net proceeds of the 2020 Notes were used to fund the redemption of Perrigo Finance's $280.4 million of 3.500% Senior Notes due March 15, 2021 and $309.6 million of 3.500% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021. The balance will be used for general corporate purposes which may include the repayment or redemption of additional indebtedness. In connection with the redemption, we incurred early redemption costs of $19.0 million, which will be included in Loss on extinguishment of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the third quarter of 2020.

On March 27, 2017, we completed the sale of our Tysabri® financial asset, effective January 1, 2017, to Royalty Pharma for up to $2.85 billion, which consists of $2.2 billion in cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in milestone payments if the royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma meet specific thresholds in 2018 and 2020, respectively. As a result of this transaction, we derecognized the Tysabri® financial asset and recorded a $17.1 million gain (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

On April 6, 2017, we completed the sale of our India API business to Strides Shasun Limited for $22.2 million, inclusive of an estimated working capital adjustment. The sale did not have a material impact on our operations (refer to Item 1. Note 2).

On August 4, 2017, we signed a definitive agreement for the sale of our Israel API business to SK Capital for $110.0 million in cash, inclusive of a net debt adjustment. We expect to finalize the sale within the next three months. The sale is not expected to have a material impact on our operations (refer to Item 1. Note 9).

We completed $2.2 billion of debt repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (refer to Item 1. Note 10).

On August 25, 2017, we completed the sale of our Russian business to Alvogen Pharma LLC and Alvogen CEE Kft. for €12.7 million ($15.1 million), inclusive of an estimated working capital adjustment. The sale did not have a material impact on our operations (refer to Item 1. Note 2).



We previously announced a plan to separate our RX business, which, if completed, would enable us to focus solely on our consumer-focused businesses. A separation of the RX business could include a possible sale, spin-off, merger or other form. We have incurred significant preparation costs due to the announced plan to separate, and if completed we could incur total costs in the range of $45.0 million to $80.0 million, excluding restructuring expenses and transaction costs, depending on timing and structure of a transaction. We have not committed to a time frame for a separation.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

We have been impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the responses by government entities to combat the virus. We currently continue to operate in all our jurisdictions and are complying with the rules and guidelines prescribed in each jurisdiction. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business and geographies. Our first priority has been, and will continue to be, the safety of our employees who continue to come to work and are dedicated to keeping our essential products flowing into the market. We have taken extra precautions at our facilities to help ensure the health and safety of our employees that are in line with guidance from global health authorities and local authorities. Among other precautions implemented, we have restricted access to our facilities worldwide to essential employees only, implemented a multi-step pre-screening access process before an employee can enter a facility, communicated regularly with employees and provided education and implemented controls related to physical distancing and hygiene measures, prioritized production to essential products, implemented remote work arrangements where appropriate, and restricted business travel. To date, these arrangements have not materially affected our ability to maintain our business operations, including the operation of financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures.

During the first half of 2020, we experienced a change in product sales mix across all our Segments, which we attribute to consumer and customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. In March and April of 2020, we experienced a surge in demand for certain of our essential health-care and self-care products, followed by a slow-down in demand for some of these products in May and June, which we attribute primarily to consumer pantry de-load. Further, during the second quarter, we saw lower consumer demand for certain other self-care products in our CSCI segment and in our RX segment a lower volume of U.S. dermatology prescriptions, both of which we
Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
ConsolidatedExecutive Overview





attribute to consumer behavior, travel bans, and country lock-downs resulting from COVID-19. We estimate that the net positive impact on net sales attributed to consumer and customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020 is between $50.0 million to $70.0 million. At this time, we cannot be certain if these trends will continue, however, it is possible that lower demand may continue and could depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and related illnesses. Alternatively, it is possible that we could experience another surge in demand if a concentrated second wave of COVID-19 occurs. During the six months ended June 27, 2020, we had incremental operating costs of approximately $8.0 million related to COVID-19 and estimate that full year incremental operating costs will be between $20.0 million to $25.0 million. These costs are primarily related to the precautions implemented to keep our employees safe and properly rewarded during the pandemic as well as increased material costs.
Both the outbreak of the disease and the actions to slow its spread have had an adverse impact on our operations by, among other things, increasing absenteeism, affecting the supply of raw materials and third party supplied finished goods, and preventing many of our employees from coming to work. We have responded to such impacts by, among other things, implementing protocols to protect the health of factory workers, adjusting production schedules, and seeking alternate suppliers where available, and so far, most of our facilities have continued to produce at high levels despite these challenges. However, a number of jurisdictions that relaxed such restrictions, or have experienced limited public adherence with suggested safety measures, have experienced new surges in COVID-19 cases. Many of these jurisdictions are now contemplating or implementing new or renewed restrictions. As such, as the pandemic continues or intensifies, it is possible that these or other challenges may begin having a larger impact on our operations. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response and assessing potential impacts to our financial condition, supply chains and other operations, employees, results of operations, consumer demand for our products, and our ability to access capital. The magnitude of any such adverse impact cannot currently be determined due to a number of uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 (refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors for related risks).

We also experienced a decrease in our effective tax rate due to additional interest and depreciation deductions provided for in the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020 resulting in a reduction of income tax expense by approximately $26.0 million in the first half of 2020. Given our financial strength, we expect to be able to maintain adequate liquidity as we manage through the current environment.

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

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

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

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

Restructuring

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

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

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

CONSUMER HEALTHCARE AMERICAS

Recent Trends and Developments

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

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

CHCI


CONSUMER HEALTHCARE INTERNATIONAL

Recent Trends and Developments

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

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

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

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

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

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

PRESCRIPTION PHARMACEUTICALS

Recent Trends and Developments

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

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

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

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

On April 6, 2017, we completed the sale of our India API business to Strides Shasun Limited. We received $22.2 million of proceeds, inclusive of an estimated working capital adjustment, which resulted in an immaterial gain. Prior to closing the sale, we determined that the carrying value of the India API business exceeded its fair value less the cost to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $35.3 million, which was recorded in Impairment charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 (refer to Item 1.

The increase of $41.7 million in unallocated expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period was due to an increase of $26.9 million of administrative expenses driven by consulting fees and employee-related expenses, $8.8 million in share-based compensation driven primarily by the resignation of certain executives, which had a favorable impact on the prior year period, and $5.9 million of restructuring expenses related to ourcost reduction initiatives.

Change in Financial Assets

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

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

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

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

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


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

We valued the contingent milestone payments using a modified Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model ("BSOPM"). Key inputs in the BSOPM are the estimated volatility and rate of return of royalties on global net sales of Tysabri® that are received by Royalty Pharma over time until payment of the contingent milestone payments is completed. Volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones have a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. In the valuation of contingent milestone payments performed, we assumed volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.05% as of July 1, 2017 and a volatility of 30.0% and a rate of return of 8.06% as of September 30, 2017. We assess volatility and rate of return inputs quarterly by analyzing certain market volatility benchmarks and the risk associated with Royalty Pharma achieving the underlying projected royalties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments decreased $2.9 million and $42.1 million, respectively, as a result of the decrease in the estimated projected Tysabri® revenues due to the launch of Ocrevus® late in the first quarter of 2017 (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $34.7 million and $133.1 millionduring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $54.6 million and $163.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively. The $19.9 million and $30.1 million decreases were the result of the early debt repayments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (refer to the "Borrowings and Capital Resources" section below and Item 1. Note 10).

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other (income) expense, net was $3.6 million income for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.0 million expense for the three months ended October 1, 2016. The $4.6 million decrease in expense was due primarily to $2.6 million of favorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

Other (income) expense, net was $1.1 million income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $32.4 million expense for the nine months ended October 1, 2016. The $33.5 million decrease in expenses was due primarily to the absence of a $22.3 million equity investment impairment (refer to Item 1. Note 7), $6.7 million of favorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies, and a $4.2 million reduction in equity method losses, partially offset by a $5.9 million loss related to the pre-issuance hedge reclassification (refer to Item 1. Note 8).

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a $135.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which consisted of tender premium on debt repayments, transaction costs, write-off of deferred financing fees, and bond discounts related to the $500.0 million 3.500% senior notes due December 2021, $500.0 million 3.500% senior notes due March 2021, $400.0 million 4.900% senior notes due 2044, $800.0 million 4.000% senior notes due 2023, and $400.0 million 5.300% senior notes due 2043 (refer to Item 1.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was negatively impacted by non-deductible fees related to our debt cancellation, discrete tax items, and additional valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets.

Our tax rate is subject to adjustment over the balance of the fiscal year due to, among other things: the jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; adjustments based on differing interpretations of the applicable transfer pricing standards; changes in available tax credits, grants and other incentives; changes in stock-based compensation expense; changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws (for example, proposals for fundamental U.S. international tax reform); changes in U.S. GAAP; and expiration of or the inability to renew tax rulings or tax holiday incentives.

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

On December 22, 2016,26, 2019, we received a noticerevised Notice of proposed adjustment forProposed Adjustment ("NOPA") from the IRS audit of Athena Neurosciences, Inc. (“Athena”), a subsidiary of Elan acquired in 1996, for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013. Perrigo acquired Elan in December 2013. This proposed adjustment relates to the deductibility of litigation costs.

We strongly disagree with the IRS’sIRS position as asserted inand will pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies, including those available under the U.S. - Ireland Income Tax Treaty to alleviate double taxation.

CONSUMER SELF-CARE AMERICAS

Recent Trends and Developments

In March and April of 2020, we experienced a surge in demand for many of our OTC and infant nutrition products, which we attributed to consumer reaction to the outbreak of COVID-19. In May and June, we experienced a slow-down in demand for some of these products, which we attributed primarily to consumer pantry stocking during the initial March and April surge. It is possible that we could continue to see a slow- down in demand for some of these products as consumers continue to pantry de-load, however, this could depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and related illnesses. Alternatively, it is possible that we could experience another surge in demand if a concentrated second wave of COVID-19 occurs.

On June 17, 2020, we announced our entrance into the CBD market through a strategic investment in and long-term supply agreement with Kazmira LLC ("Kazmira"), a leading supplier of hemp-based, THC-free CBD products. In addition to the supply agreement, we acquired an approximate 20% equity stake in Kazmira for $50.0 million with $15.0 million paid at close of the transaction and the balance due within 18 months. Our minority equity investment initiates the first phase of the partnership in which we will collaborate to scale-up Kazmira’s facilities and laboratories, in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices and to produce THC-free CBD from industrial hemp that meets our standards for reliability and consistency. In the second phase of the partnership, we will work to launch THC-free, hemp-based CBD products in a number of global markets, while leveraging our supply agreement with Kazmira, which is exclusive for the U.S. store brand market (refer to Item 1. Note 7 and Note 10).

On April 6, 2020, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on our abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA") for OTC diclofenac sodium topical gel 1%, the store brand equivalent to Voltaren® gel. When launched, this product will be marketed under store brand labels and will provide consumers with a high-quality, value alternative for the temporary relief of arthritis pain. We expect to launch the new OTC product later this year.

On April 1, 2020, we acquired the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands for total purchase consideration of $113.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including a working capital settlement. After post-closing adjustments as of June 27, 2020, total cash consideration paid was $106.0 million. This acquisition includes the children’s oral care value brand, Firefly®, in addition to the REACH® and Dr. Fresh® brands, and a licensing portfolio. The addition of these brands positions us as the number one fastest-growing value brand player in the children’s oral care category and the licensing portfolio will enable creative solutions for our customers (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

On January 3, 2020, we acquired Steripod®, a leading toothbrush accessory brand and innovator in the toothbrush protector market, from Bonfit America Inc. Total consideration paid was $26.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized $24.9 million as a brand-named intangible asset. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to working capital. The acquisition, which includes a portfolio of antibacterial toothbrush protectors, kids’ toothbrush protectors and tongue cleaners, complements our current portfolio of oral self-care products, and leverages our manufacturing and marketing platform (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

The OTC growth was partially offset by the lost net sales on products we de-prioritized while we focused on providing products most needed by consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic and competitive pricing pressure on certain products. Nutrition net sales growth was due primarily to new product sales from an infant formula launch at a major retailer in the prior year and Complete Comfort Formula, growth in the infant formula contract manufacturing business, and e-commerce growth, which were partially offset by pantry de-load of oral electrolyte solution products and multi-year pricing contracts; further partially offset by

$5.5 million increase in operating expenses due primarily to the inclusion of expenses from our acquisitions of Ranir and the oral care assets of High Ridge Brands; partially offset by the absence of expenses from the divested animal health business, a reduction in employee related expenses, and a decrease in R&D expenses related to delays in timing of projects.

CONSUMER SELF-CARE INTERNATIONAL

Recent Trends and Developments

During the first half of 2020, we experienced demand shifts for certain products, which we attribute to consumer reactions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the movement restrictions put in place to combat spreading of the virus, such as travel bans, school closings and country lock-downs. Certain products in our upper respiratory, vitamins, minerals and supplements ("VMS"), and pain and sleep-aids categories increased, while products in our skincare and personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle categories decreased. It is possible that demand in our skincare and personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle categories may continue to decrease, and that well-stocked consumer pantries may temporarily reduce demand for products in our upper respiratory, VMS, and pain and sleep-aids categories. Both factors could depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and related illnesses.

Consistent with our strategy to reconfigure our portfolio to focus on our consumer self-care businesses, on June 19, 2020, we completed the sale of our U.K.- based Rosemont Pharmaceuticals business, a generic prescription pharmaceuticals manufacturer focused on liquid medicines, to a U.K. headquartered private equity firm for cash consideration of £155.6 million (approximately $195.0 million), which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $17.4 million (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

On February 13, 2020, we acquired Dexsil®,a silicon supplement brand, from RXW Group Nv, for total cash consideration paid of approximately $8.0 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, in which we capitalized the consideration paid as a brand-named intangible asset. The acquisition provides additional opportunities for growth through new product launches and geographic expansion (refer to Item 1. Note 3).

PRESCRIPTION PHARMACEUTICALS

Recent Trends and Developments

We experienced moderate pricing reductions compared to the prior year in our RX segment due to competitive approvals against products in our portfolio and overall competitive pressures. We expect softness in pricing to continue to impact the segment for the foreseeable future.

Perrigo Company plc - Item 2
RX


On February 24, 2020, along with our partner Catalent Pharma Solutions, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on our abbreviated new drug application for generic albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol, the first AB-rated generic version of ProAir® HFA. We launched commercially shortly after the approval.

During the second quarter, we experienced a reduction in demand for certain of our existing base products due to a lower volume of prescriptions written related to the reduction in doctor visits resulting from restrictions put in place to combat spreading of the COVID-19 virus. The decrease in demand of existing base products appeared to be market-wide and did not result in market share loss. We did, however, see continued high demand for our AB-rated generic albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol.

This includes the positive impact on demand for albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol related to customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was partially offset by a decline in the base business, which was affected by fewer doctor visits compared to the prior year period leading to lower U.S. prescription dermatology volumes due to COVID-19, and a $9.1 million decrease due to discontinued low margin distribution products.

This includes the positive impact on demand for albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol related to customer behavior surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase was partially offset by a decline in the base business, which was affected by fewer doctor visits compared to the prior year period leading to lower U.S. prescription dermatology volumes due to COVID-19, pricing pressure due partially to testosterone gel 1.62% (which still had 180-day market exclusivity in the prior year period), and $17.5 million of discontinued low margin distribution products.

Change in Financial Assets

The proceeds from our 2017 sale of the Tysabri® financial asset consisted of $2.2 billion in upfront cash and up to $250.0 million and $400.0 million in contingent milestone payments related to 2018 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2019 we received the $250.0 million contingent milestone payment.

During the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payment related to 2020 increased by $2.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively to $99.0 million, which is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. The adjustments were driven by higher volatility, higher projected global net sales of Tysabri® compared to the estimates in the prior period, and the estimated probability of achieving the earn-out. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, the fair value of the Royalty Pharma contingent milestone payments increased by $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 Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® were $337.5 million in 2018, which triggered the $250.0 million milestone payment received during the first quarter of 2019. There is no contingent milestone based on 2019 sales of Tysabri®. In order for us to receive the remaining contingent milestone payment of $400.0 million, Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. If Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales do not meet the prescribed threshold in 2020, we will write off the $99.0 million asset and record a loss. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded, we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of $301.0 million in Change in financial assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

Interest Expense, Net

The $2.2 million and $3.8 million increases for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, compared to the prior year period were due primarily to a reduction in interest income received.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

The $12.0 million increase in expense during the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the prior year period was due primarily to a $17.4 million pre-tax loss on the divestiture of our Rosemont Pharmaceuticals business, partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 million in losses on investment securities and $2.8 million of favorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

The $11.2 million increase in expense during the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the prior year period was due primarily to a $17.4 million pre-tax loss on the divestiture of our Rosemont Pharmaceuticals business, partially offset by a decrease of $5.2 million in losses on investment securities and $1.5 million of favorable changes in revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 decreased compared to the prior period primarily due to additional interest and depreciation deductions provided for in the CARES Act and the exclusion of a one-time $27.8 million impairment to a definite lived intangible recorded in 2019. The CARES Act reduced income tax expense by approximately $26.0 million in the first and second quarters of 2020, of which $15.8 million relates to retroactive adjustments to the 2018 and 2019 tax years while $10.2 million relates to the first and second quarters of the 2020 tax year (refer to Item 1. Note 13 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 term and 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 Notices of Proposed Adjustment ("NOPAs"), the current COVID-19 pandemic, 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 NOPAs 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 (refer to Item 1. Note 13 for additional information on the NoA and NOPAs). 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, an adverse result with respect to our appeal of any material outstanding tax assessments or litigation, including securities or drug pricing matters and product liability cases, could ultimately require the use of corporate assets to pay such assessments, damages resulting from third-party claims, and related interest and/or penalties, and any such use of corporate assets would limit the assets available for other corporate purposes. As such, 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 NOPAs, the COVID-19 pandemic or other contingencies have a material impact on our capital requirements.

Should our outlook on liquidity requirements change substantially from current projections, we may seek additional sources of liquidity in the future.

As previously disclosed, during the three months ended April 1, 2017 we entered into amendments to the 2014 Revolver and the 2014 term loan to modify provisions of such agreements necessary as a result of the correction in accounting related to the Tysabri® financial asset, as well as waivers of any default or event of default that may have arisen from any restatement of or deficiencies in our financial statements for the periods specified in such amendments and waivers. We are in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of September 30, 2017.
See June 27, 2020 (refer to Item 1. Note 9 and Note 10 for more information on all of the above lease activity and debt facilities.facilities, respectively).


Credit Ratings
    
Our credit ratings on September 30, 2017June 27, 2020 were Baa3 (stable) and BBB- (stable) by Moody's Investors Service and Standard and Poor'sS&P Global Ratings, 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 contingent 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 our table of contractual obligations included in our 2019 Form 10-K and referred to below.

Significant Accounting Policies

Other than the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (refer to Item 1. Note 1) and ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (refer to Item 1. Note 6), there have been no material changes to the accounting policies disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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. Below are the updates regarding critical accounting estimates which required judgment in the preparation of our financial statements during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020. The below disclosures should be read in conjunction with our 2019 Form 10-K.

Change in Financial Assets

We valued 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. As of June 27, 2020, volatility and the estimated fair value of the milestones had a positive relationship such that higher volatility translates to a higher estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments. Rate of return and the estimated fair value of the milestones had an inverse relationship, such that a lower rate of return correlates with 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:

 Three Months Ended
 June 27,
2020
 June 29,
2019
Volatility37.5% 30.0%
Rate of return6.91% 7.99%

We also consider Biogen’s quarterly Tysabri earnings along with forecasts from third party analysts in our royalty projections. In our estimation process as of June 27, 2020, we considered risks associated with COVID-19 on Tysabri sales in 2020, including but not limited to, the potential for disruptions and delays in dosing of Tysabri in physician office and hospital settings. We will continue monitoring Tysabri earnings and the development of COVID-19 impacts in our quarterly valuation assessment. In order for us to receive the remaining contingent milestone payment of $400.0 million, Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales in 2020 must exceed $351.0 million. If Royalty Pharma payments from Biogen for Tysabri® sales do not meet the prescribed

Unallocated, Interest, Other, and Taxes


threshold in 2020, we will write off the $99.0 million asset and record a loss. If the prescribed threshold is exceeded, we will increase the asset to $400.0 million and recognize income of $301.0 million in Change in financial assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (refer to Item 1. Note 6).

Goodwill

Goodwill represents amounts paid for an acquisition in excess of the fair value of net assets received. After completing the divestiture of our Rosemont Pharmaceuticals business, we have five reporting units subject to impairment testing annually, which we perform on the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. We perform impairment testing more frequently if events suggest an impairment may exist. The test for impairment requires us to make several estimates about fair value, most of which are based on projected future cash flows and market valuation multiples. The estimates associated with the goodwill impairment tests are considered critical due to the judgments required in determining fair value amounts, including projected future cash flows that include assumptions about future performance. The discount rates used in testing each of our reporting units’ goodwill for impairment during our interim and annual testing are based on the weighted average cost of capital determined for each of our reporting units.
The discounted cash flow forecasts used for our reporting units include assumptions about future activity levels in the near term and longer-term. If growth in our reporting units is lower than expected, we may experience deterioration in our cash flow forecasts that may indicate goodwill in one or more reporting units is impaired in future impairment tests. An increase in the discount rate could negatively impact the estimated fair value of the reporting units and lead to a future impairment. Certain macroeconomic factors which are not controlled by the reporting units, such as rising inflation or interest rates, could cause an increase in the discount rate to occur. Deterioration in performance of our reporting units, such as lower than expected revenue or profitability that has a sustained impact on future periods, could also represent potential indicators of impairment requiring further impairment analysis.

We reviewed our reporting units for impairment indicators during the three months ended June 27, 2020.  We evaluated the weighted average cost of capital, market multiples, and forecasted cash flows of each reporting unit, among other factors. Our BCS reporting unit had an indication of potential impairment driven by a decrease in forecasted cash flows in the second half of 2020 related to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Goodwill remaining in this reporting unit was $961.0 million as of June 27, 2020. We prepared a quantitative analysis as of June 27, 2020 and determined that the fair value of the BCS reporting unit continued to exceed net book value by less than 10%. As a result of the relatively narrow margin between fair value and net book value during the three months ended June 27, 2020, this reporting unit is at risk for future impairments if it experiences deterioration in business performance or market multiples or increases in discount rates. We continue to monitor the progress of our reporting units and assess them for potential impairment should impairment indicators arise, as applicable, and at least annually during our fourth quarter impairment testing. 

We performed sensitivity analysis on the discounted cash flow valuation that was prepared to estimate the enterprise value of the BCS reporting unit. Discount rates and perpetual revenue growth rates were increased and decreased by increments of 25 or 50 basis points. A 75 basis point increase in the discount rate, or a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate combined with a 25 basis point decrease in the residual growth rate, would indicate potential impairment for this reporting unit. Our sensitivities for the BCS reporting unit assume a corresponding decrease in market valuation multiples. Based on the sensitivity of the discount rate assumption on this analysis, an increase in the discount rate over the next twelve months could negatively impact the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and lead to a future impairment. Certain macroeconomic factors which are not controlled by the BCS reporting unit, such as rising inflation or interest rates, could cause an increase in the discount rate to occur.  Deterioration in performance of the BCS reporting unit over the next twelve months, such as lower than expected revenue or profitability that has a sustained impact on future periods, could also represent potential indicators of impairment requiring further impairment analysis.

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017.June 27, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were notare effective as of September 30, 2017 because of thein ensuring that all material weaknessesinformation relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

All systems of internal control, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, evenperiodic SEC filings would be made known to them by others within those systems deemed to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,entities in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.manner and that no changes are required at this time.


Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We conducted an evaluation ofOur management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon theas of June 27, 2020. The framework establishedused in carrying out our evaluation was the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

Controls and Procedures


Tysabri® Contingent Payments

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

Income Taxes

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

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

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

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

Perrigo Company plc - Item 4
Controls and Procedures


Impairment

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

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

Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses

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

Tysabri® Contingent Payments

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

Income Taxes

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

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

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

Impairment

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

Perrigo Company plc - Item 4

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS


Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162019 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. At the time of this filing, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were included in the Form 10-K, other than as described below.


We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting; failureAdverse Economic Impacts of Coronavirus Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, as the new coronavirus, unknown to remediatehealth officials just three months earlier, spread rapidly from Asia to the material weaknesses could negatively impact our businessMiddle East, Europe, and the price of our ordinary shares.

In connection with our review of certain material misstatements relatedUnited States. As the pandemic continues, many actions taken to reduce the characterizationspread of the Tysabri® royalty stream acquiredcoronavirus remain in effect, including quarantines, government restrictions on movement, business closures and suspensions, canceled events and activities, self-isolation, and other voluntary and/or mandated changes in behavior. Both the Elan transaction, as well as material misstatements related to the calculation of deferred tax liabilities that existed at the timeoutbreak of the acquisition of Omega,disease and the evaluation of long-lived assets in our animal health reporting unit for impairment testing, in each case contained in certain of our historical financial statements, we concluded that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that contributed to those misstatements. As a result of the material weaknesses, which existed at December 31, 2016 and some of which remained at September 30, 2017, we have concluded that we did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, April 1, 2017, July 1, 2017 or September 30, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The failure to maintain effective control over financial reporting in turn resulted in material deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures.

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

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

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

In addition, on February 21, 2017, we announced the resignation of Judy L. Brown as our Executive Vice President, Business Operationssupplied finished goods, and Chief Financial Officer, effective February 27, 2017. Since that time, Ronald L. Winowiecki has served as our acting Chief Financial Officer. Although Mr. Winowiecki remains a key candidate for our permanent Chief Financial Officer, our Board of Directors has suspended its Chief Financial Officer search during its search for Mr. Hendrickson’s successor as Chief Executive Officer. There are no assurances concerning the timing or outcomepreventing many of our search foremployees from coming to work. The Company has responded to such impacts by, among other things, implementing protocols to protect the health of factory workers, adjusting production schedules, and seeking alternate suppliers where available, and so far, most of our facilities have continued to produce at high levels despite these challenges. However, a number of jurisdictions that relaxed such restrictions, or have experienced limited public adherence with suggested safety measures, have experienced new Chief Executive Officersurges in COVID-19 cases. Many of these jurisdictions are now contemplating or subsequent search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. If there are any delays in this process,implementing new or if any transition is not successful, our business could be negatively impacted.

The resolutionrenewed restrictions. Going forward, the continued spread of uncertain tax positions could be unfavorable, whichthe disease and the actions to slow it could have an adverse effectimpact on our business.

Although we believe thatfinancial condition, our tax estimates are reasonablesupply chains and thatother operations, our tax filings are prepared in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respectresults of our operations, consumer demand for our products and our ability to access capital. The magnitude of any tax audit and any related litigationsuch adverse impacts cannot currently be determined, but such adverse impacts could be materially differentmaterial, depending on: the duration, intensity, and continued spread of the disease; the duration of business closure and similar government orders; the process by which government authorities permit businesses to reopen and employees to return to work and the publics willingness to adhere to suggested safety measures; the scale and timing of any additional waves of the outbreak as restrictions on community movement are relaxed; the severity of any economic downturn resulting from the pandemic; the effectiveness of the Company's efforts at mitigation; and other factors, both known and unknown, many of which are likely to be outside our estimates or fromcontrol. In addition, to the extent that any increased sales of our historical income tax provisionsproducts during the initial stages of the outbreak may reflect "pantry stocking", consumer demand for such products in future periods may be correspondingly reduced. Further, lower consumer demand for certain other self-care products and accruals.

It is also possible that a material effect on operating results or cash flowschange in the course of the pandemic may affect consumer demand for products in future periods for which that determination is made. in ways we do not currently anticipate.

In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties or interest assessments.

On August 15, 2017, we filed a complaintconnection with delays in the United States District Court forimplementation of the Western DistrictEU's Medical Device Regulation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the designation of Michigan to recover $163.6 milliona Notified Body certifying certain of Federal income tax, penalties, and interest assessed and collected by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), plus statutory interest thereon from the datesour products expired, which could adversely affect our sales 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 pharmaceuticalthese products in the United States. In addition,EU.
We market certain products that are subject to the statutory noticeEU’s Medical Device Directive (“MDD”) and will be subject to the EU’s Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”), both of deficiency for the 2011 and 2012 tax years included the capitalizationwhich require that products be certified by designated assessment entities (“Notified Bodies”) prior to sale. The date of certain expenses that were deducted when paid or incurred in defending against certain patent infringement lawsuits. We fully paid the assessed amounts of tax, interest, and penalties set forth in the statutory notices and filed timely claims for refund on June 11, 2015 and June 7, 2017 for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. Our claims for refund were disallowed by certified letters dated August 18, 2015 and July 11, 2017, for the 2009-2010 tax years and 2011-2012 tax years, respectively. The complaint was timely, based upon the refund claim denials, and seeks refunds of tax, interest, and penalties of $37.2 million for the 2009 tax year, $61.5 million for the 2010 tax year, $40.2 million for the 2011 tax year and $24.7 million for the 2012 tax year. The amounts sought in the complaint for the 2009 and 2010 tax years were recorded as deferred charges on our balance sheet during the three months ended March 28, 2015, and the amounts sought in the complaint for the 2011 and 2012 tax years were recorded as deferred charges on our balance sheet in the second quarterapplication of the year ending December 31, 2017.

On December 22, 2016, we receivedMDR, and as a noticeresult the date of proposed adjustment forrepeal of the IRS audit of Athena Neurosciences, Inc. (“Athena”), a subsidiary of Elan Corporation plc (“Elan”) acquired in 1996, for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013. We acquired Elan in December 2013. This proposed amendment relatesMDD, has been deferred by 12 months to May 26, 2021 due to the deductibilitypandemic. In connection with this extension, Notified Bodies designated under the prior MDD regime were allowed to continue their related governance of litigation costs. We disagreemedical devices for one additional year, until May 25, 2021, subject to them having a designation under MDD in place throughout this time. During this time, the MDD designation of a Notified Body that certifies certain products in our portfolio has expired. The current regulations are not clear on the treatment of the existing certificates granted by such a Notified Body during this period, and we have engaged in detailed discussions with the IRS’s position asserted in the noticerelevant authorities to enable continuity of proposed adjustment and intend to contest it.

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

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

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

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