Irish Companies Acts 1963 (as amended) (the &#147;<U>Irish Companies Acts</U>&#148;). Broadly, the relevant provisions in the Registrant&#146;s articles of association provide for an indemnity for certain persons, including directors, the Secretary,
committee members, persons holding executive or official positions with the Registrant and employees, agents and persons acting in certain other capacities at the request of the Registrant (&#147;<U>Indemnified Persons</U>&#148;) who are a party to
actions, suits or proceedings against expenses and costs in connection with such actions, suits or proceedings if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant. Indemnification is also excluded in circumstances where an Indemnified Person is adjudged liable for willful neglect or default in performance of his duties unless a relevant court determines otherwise. Such
indemnification may include expense advancement in certain circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Irish Companies Acts prescribe that an advance commitment
to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where
an Irish court grants relief because the director or secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or secretary over and above the
limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Acts will be void, whether contained in its articles of association or any contract between the company and the director or secretary. This restriction does not apply to executives who are not directors or
the secretary, or other persons who would not be considered &#147;officers&#148; within the meaning of that term under the Irish Companies Acts, of the Registrant. </P>

policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities Act
"), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional Ordinary Shares, par value
$0.0001 per share ("
Ordinary Shares
"), of Actavis plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (the "
Registrant
"), which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution resulting from adjustments
as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, split-ups, reorganizations, consolidations and other capital adjustments.
(2)
Represents 257,364 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding but unexercised options previously granted under the 2013 Incentive Award Plan of Actavis plc, formerly the Fourth Amendment and Restatement of The
2001 Incentive Award Plan of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as amended (the "
2013 Plan
") and 10,049,642 Ordinary Shares reserved for future issuance under the 2013 Plan.
(3)
Pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of plan interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the Actavis, Inc. 401(k) Plan. Pursuant to Rule
457(h)(2) under the Securities Act, no separate fee is required to register plan interests.
(4)
Represents 250,164 Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding but unexercised options previously granted under the Warner Chilcott Equity Incentive Plan (the "
Warner Chilcott Plan
") and 252,875
Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding restricted share unit awards previously granted under the Warner Chilcott Plan . No new awards will be made under the Warner Chilcott Plan.
(5)
The proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee. Other than with respect to the
Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding but unexercised options previously granted under the 2013 Plan and the Warner Chilcott Plan, pursuant to Rule 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act, the proposed maximum offering price per share and
the proposed maximum aggregate offering price are based on the average of the high and low prices of Actavis, Inc. (the predecessor to the Registrant) common shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2013 of $143.09.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's articles of association confer an indemnity on its directors and Secretary subject to the limitations prescribed by the
Irish Companies Acts 1963 (as amended) (the "
Irish Companies Acts
"). Broadly, the relevant provisions in the Registrant's articles of association provide for an indemnity for certain persons, including directors, the Secretary,
committee members, persons holding executive or official positions with the Registrant and employees, agents and persons acting in certain other capacities at the request of the Registrant ("
Indemnified Persons
") who are a party to
actions, suits or proceedings against expenses and costs in connection with such actions, suits or proceedings if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant. Indemnification is also excluded in circumstances where an Indemnified Person is adjudged liable for willful neglect or default in performance of his duties unless a relevant court determines otherwise. Such
indemnification may include expense advancement in certain circumstances.
The Irish Companies Acts prescribe that an advance commitment
to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where
an Irish court grants relief because the director or secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or secretary over and above the
limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Acts will be void, whether contained in its articles of association or any contract between the company and the director or secretary. This restriction does not apply to executives who are not directors or
the secretary, or other persons who would not be considered "officers" within the meaning of that term under the Irish Companies Acts, of the Registrant.
Each of the Registrant's current directors, officers and the Secretary are party to individual indemnification agreements that provide
for the indemnification of any claims relating to their services to the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The Registrant also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance covering certain
liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and officers in the performance of their duties.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
For the list of exhibits, see the Exhibit Index to this Registration Statement, which is incorporated in this item by
reference.
Pursuant to Item 8(b) of Form S-8, in lieu of an Internal Revenue Service
("
IRS
") determination letter that the Actavis, Inc. 401(k) Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it has submitted the Actavis, Inc. 401(k) Plan
and any amendments thereto, and will submit any future amendments, to the IRS in a timely manner and will make all changes required by the IRS to qualify such plan.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
