Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 9, 2013, Perrigo Company (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as managers of the several underwriters named therein (together, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.950% Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. The 2023 Notes were sold at a public offering price of 99.485% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.

The sale of the Notes has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in a registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-188395 (the “Registration Statement”). A description of the Notes without pricing terms is contained in the Company’s Prospectus dated May 9, 2013, as filed with the Commission on May 9, 2013, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The closing of the sale of the Notes is expected to occur on or about May 16, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting the Underwriters’ discounts and commissions, will be approximately $593,010,000.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
