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million aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing 95.27% of the outstanding Notes, had validly tendered and not withdrawn their Notes and submitted related consents.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.
