Item 8.01
Other Information.

Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”) has scheduled its 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) for July 20, 2017. Further details regarding the Annual Meeting will be included in the Company’s proxy statement.

Because the Annual Meeting will be held on a date that is more than 30 days after the first anniversary of the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company has set a new deadline for receipt of any shareholder proposals for the Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Shareholders also may submit proposals and director nominations under the Company’s Articles of Association (the “Articles”). The Articles provide that where the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, the proposal, in order to be timely, must be received by the Secretary of the Company no earlier than 90 days prior to the date of the meeting and no later than the later of (i) the 70th day prior to the date of the meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made.

In accordance with these requirements, the Company has set June 2, 2017 as the deadline by which shareholders must submit proposals. Shareholders must comply with the requirements for submission of proposals set forth in Rule 14a-8 and the Articles, as applicable.

Shareholders may submit proposals for the Annual Meeting by sending their proposals to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices located at Treasury Building, Lower Grand Canal Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
