Exhibit (a)(10)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DUBLIN, Oct. 9, 2015 -- Perrigo Company plc ("Perrigo") (NYSE: PRGO; TASE) in its presentation dated 17 September and in its defense document on Schedule 14-D9, stated that Abbott is seeking to sell its holding in Mylan N.V ("Mylan"), based on (i) the filing of a shelf registration statement by Mylan on 14 September in respect of all the shares Abbott holds in Mylan and (ii) a statement by the Abbott CEO in July 2015 that: "...we don't have intention long-term of being shareholders in Mylan."
This announcement is being made at the request of the Irish Takeover Panel as the statement in question was taken out of context and did not record the full statement by the Abbott CEO. Consequently, the Panel ruled that the statement may be misleading and therefore in breach of Rule 19.3(a). The Irish Takeover Panel has requested that we set out the entirety of the statement of the Abbott CEO to better set forth the context. Accordingly, the statement of the Abbott CEO is reproduced below.
Miles White, CEO of Abbott: “Well I would say that nothing's changed. We don't have an intention long-term of being shareholders of Mylan. On the other hand, I suppose you could say, well what's long-term? Until we actually have to monetize that investment, I would put it this way. Most people's balance sheets today are getting pretty close to zero, and that said, I think this is a pretty good place to have our cash parked, because I think that Mylan as a company is pursuing a strategy that I would endorse. I have a little bit of insight, and given our continued dealings with our partners at Mylan, and I like the strategy that Mylan is pursuing, and I support it and endorse it as a shareholder."
