<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">On May 8,<FONT STYLE="color: black"> 2012</FONT>,
Perrigo Company (the Company) released earnings for the third quarter and year-to-date fiscal year 2012. The press release related
to the Company&rsquo;s earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.1.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">The earnings release contains certain non-GAAP
measures. A &ldquo;non-GAAP financial measure&rdquo; is defined as a numerical measure of a company&rsquo;s financial performance
that excludes or includes amounts different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of
the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation for cost of sales, gross profit,
operating expenses, operating income, income tax expense, income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing
operations within its earnings release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for these non-GAAP measures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">The Company excludes the items listed below
in the applicable period when monitoring and evaluating the on-going financial results and trends of its business, and believes&nbsp;that
presenting operating results excluding these items&nbsp;is also useful for investors, since&nbsp;it&nbsp;provides important insight
into the Company's on-going&nbsp;core business operations on a normalized basis. Adjusted earnings is one of the primary indicators
management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance
of the Company&rsquo;s business from period to period without the effect of the non-core business items indicated. Management uses
adjusted earnings to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to measure the Company&rsquo;s performance against those budgets
and forecasts on a corporate and segment level.</P>

ITEM 2.02.   Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
On May 8,
2012
,
Perrigo Company (the Company) released earnings for the third quarter and year-to-date fiscal year 2012. The press release related
to the Company's earnings is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The earnings release contains certain non-GAAP
measures. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is defined as a numerical measure of a company's financial performance
that excludes or includes amounts different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of
the company. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation for cost of sales, gross profit,
operating expenses, operating income, income tax expense, income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing
operations within its earnings release to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures for these non-GAAP measures.
The Company excludes the items listed below
in the applicable period when monitoring and evaluating the on-going financial results and trends of its business, and believes that
presenting operating results excluding these items is also useful for investors, since it provides important insight
into the Company's on-going core business operations on a normalized basis. Adjusted earnings is one of the primary indicators
management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance
of the Company's business from period to period without the effect of the non-core business items indicated. Management uses
adjusted earnings to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to measure the Company's performance against those budgets
and forecasts on a corporate and segment level.
