fide</I> offering thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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 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>

€0.001 per share ("

(3)
Pursuant to Rule 457(h)(1) of the Securities Act, the proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum aggregate offering are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the

unexercised options previously granted under the Perrigo Company 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan. No new awards will be made under these plans.

Perrigo
"), Leopard Company ("
Leopard
"), Habsont Limited ("
Habsont
"), and Perrigo Company plc (formerly known as Perrigo
Company Limited and, prior to that, known as Blisfont Limited) (the "

"), (a) the Company acquired Elan pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under the Irish Companies Act of 1963, and (b) Leopard merged with and into

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 Company's articles of association confer an indemnity on its directors and Secretary subject to the limitations prescribed by the
Irish Companies Acts of 1963 (as amended) (the "
Irish Companies Acts
"). Broadly, the relevant provisions in the Company'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 Company and employees, agents and persons acting in certain other capacities at the request of the Company ("
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 Company. 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.
2
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 Company.
Each of
the Company'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 Company or any of its subsidiaries to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The Company 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.
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 of 1933 (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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
3
(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 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.
