Explanation of Responses:
1. On July 1, 2014, the Issuer ("Actavis") acquired Forest Laboratories, Inc. ("Forest") through a series of merger transactions which resulted in Forest becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Actavis (the "Acquisition"). In connection with the Acquisition, each (i) unvested share of Forest restricted stock (each, a "Forest RSS") was converted into restricted stock units of Actavis (each, an "Actavis RSU"), (ii) unvested performance share unit ("Forest PSU") was converted into Actavis RSUs assuming satisfaction of target level of performance; and (iii) option to purchase Forest shares (each, a "Forest Option") was exchanged for an option to purchase ordinary shares of Actavis, in each case at a rate of 0.4723 Actavis award per corresponding Forest award. Each share of Forest common stock held by the Reporting Person was exchanged for $25.67 in cash plus 0.3326 of an Actavis ordinary share, with fractions of an Actavis ordinary share being cashed out at $219.00 per share.
