Mylan Raises Offer to Acquire Perrigo

Increased offer consists of $75 per share in cash and 2.3 Mylan ordinary shares for each Perrigo ordinary share

POTTERS BAR, England, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ: MYL) today announced that, further to its announcement issued pursuant to Rule 2.5 of the Irish Takeover Rules on April 24, 2015 (the "Rule 2.5 Announcement"), it has increased its offer to acquire the issued and to be issued shares of Perrigo (NYSE: PRGO; TASE).  Under the terms of the increased offer, Perrigo shareholders will receive $75 in cash and 2.3 Mylan ordinary shares for each Perrigo ordinary share (the "Increased Offer"). 

Based on Mylan's closing stock price of $68.36 on April 8, 2015, the first day of market reaction to the initial proposal, the value of today's offer is $232.23 per Perrigo share, which represents a multiple of approximately 25x calendar year 2014 EBITDA (pro forma for Perrigo's recent acquisition of Omega Pharma).

Goldman, Sachs & Co., as financial advisor to Mylan, is satisfied that sufficient resources are available to satisfy in full the cash consideration payable upon full acceptance of the Increased Offer.  

Mylan's Executive Chairman Robert J. Coury commented, "With this enhanced offer, I look forward to meeting with Joe Papa and his team to finalize the implementation of this truly compelling combination, which is a win-win for both Mylan and Perrigo shareholders and all other stakeholders. 

"Previously, Mylan filed for U.S. anti-trust clearance, made a "hell or high water" commitment with respect to obtaining this clearance and committed to a timetable for closing. We have also secured firm committed financing for our offer. All of this, together with today's action, will result in a transaction that provides compelling value and maximum speed and certainty to Perrigo and its shareholders. Further, this is a transaction that can, and will, be completed and create a powerhouse company that will be an engine for growing shareholder and stakeholder value as Mylan has done consistently for many years." 

Mylan's Chief Executive Officer Heather Bresch commented, "The industrial logic behind the combination of Mylan and Perrigo will generate significant value for customers, patients, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders by creating a one-of-a-kind global healthcare company that will be uniquely positioned within our evolving industry given its complementary businesses and cultures, unmatched scale in its operations and infrastructure, broad and diverse portfolio, and immense reach across distribution channels around the world."

As a result of the Increased Offer, it is expected that, following the consummation of the transaction, Mylan shareholders will own approximately 60.7% of the outstanding Mylan ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis and former Perrigo shareholders will own approximately 39.3% of the outstanding Mylan ordinary shares on a fully diluted basis.

This announcement is being made as an update and revision to the announcement issued pursuant to Rule 2.5 of the Irish Takeover Rules on April 24, 2015.

The Increased Offer is subject to the HSR Pre-Condition and the conditions and other terms set forth in Appendix 1 to the Rule 2.5 Announcement. Other than as set out in this announcement, all other terms and conditions as set forth in the Rule 2.5 Announcement apply to the Increased Offer. Save as provided for in this announcement, there has been no material change in any information previously published by Mylan or on its behalf during the offer period. Capitalized terms used in this announcement but not defined have the same meaning as in the Rule 2.5 Announcement. 

Mylan reserves the right, with the consent of the Irish Takeover Panel, to elect to implement the acquisition of Perrigo by way of court-approved scheme of arrangement under Section 201 of the Companies Act of 1963 of Ireland, as amended, or Sections 449 to 455 of the Companies Act of 2014 of Ireland, as the case may be.
