Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 19, 2013, Perrigo Company (the “Company”) received, pursuant to its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) with respect to any and all of its outstanding 2.950% Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), the requisite consents to adopt proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture governing the Notes, as amended (the “Indenture”) that would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants (other than, among other covenants, the covenant to pay interest and premium, if any, on, and principal of, the Notes when due) and certain event of default and defeasance provisions therein and reduce the minimum redemption notice period from 30 days to three business days. The Offer and Solicitation are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated November 5, 2013 (the “Statement”).

As of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 19, 2013, holders of $571,647,000 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing 95.27% of the outstanding Notes, had validly tendered and not withdrawn their Notes and submitted related consents. As a result, the requisite number of consents have been received with respect to the Consent Solicitation.

On November 20, 2013, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, executed the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture implementing the Proposed Amendments. A copy of the Second Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Second Supplemental Indenture became effective upon execution, but will not become operative unless and until the Company accepts the Notes for purchase pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Statement, which is expected to be on or about December 23, 2013.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 21, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the requisite consents pursuant to, and pricing of, the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Perrigo Company Announces Receipt of Requisite Consents for and Pricing of

Its Previously Announced Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for its

2.950% Notes due 2023

[PERRIGO LOGO]

ALLEGAN, Mich., Nov. 21, 2013/PRNewswire/ — Perrigo Company (NYSE, TASE: PRGO) today announced that, in connection with its offer to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) any and all of its 2.950% Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) and related consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”), it has received the requisite consents to amend the indenture governing the Notes. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation, which are referred to collectively as the “Offer,” are described in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated November 5, 2013 (as amended, the “Statement”) and the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, which has been sent to the holders of the Notes.

The Consent Solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 19, 2013 (the “Consent Deadline”). At the Consent Deadline, $571,647,000 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing 95.27% of the outstanding Notes, had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. As a result, the requisite number of consents have been received with respect to the Consent Solicitation. Accordingly, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee (the “Trustee”) under the indenture governing the Notes, entered into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), which would amend the indenture under which the Notes were issued. The Supplemental Indenture will become operative when the Notes that have been validly tendered on or prior to the Consent Deadline are accepted for payment and paid for by the Company, which is expected to be on or about December 23, 2013. The Supplemental Indenture, when it becomes operative, will amend the indenture governing the Notes and the Notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants (other than, among other covenants, the covenant to pay interest and premium, if any, on, and principal of, the Notes when due) and certain event of default and defeasance provisions therein and reduce the minimum redemption notice period from 30 days to three business days.

Holders of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to the Consent Deadline and accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the “Total Consideration” specified in the table below, which includes the Consent Payment (as defined in the Statement). Holders of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn after the Consent Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below) and accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the “Tender Offer Consideration,” namely the Total Consideration minus the Consent Payment specified in the table below. In addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive Accrued Interest (as defined in the Statement) on those Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but not including, the expected Settlement Date (as defined below).

The Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are conditioned upon, among other things, completing certain financing transactions and the acquisition of Elan Corporation, plc by Perrigo Company Limited. If any of the conditions are not satisfied, Perrigo is not obligated to accept for purchase, or to pay for, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer or to make any Consent Payments.
