Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On August 28, 2015, Mylan N.V. (“Mylan”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of Perrigo Company plc (“Perrigo”) by Mylan. Mylan filed its definitive proxy statement for the proposal voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2015 (as thereafter supplemented, including by the proxy supplement filed on August 20, 2015). As of the close of business on July 31, 2015, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were issued and outstanding 491,547,926 ordinary shares of Mylan entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 488,388,431 preferred shares of Mylan entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, all of which were owned by Stichting Preferred Shares Mylan and none of which were voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The certified results of the matters voted on at the Extraordinary General Meeting are set forth below.

Proposal – Approval under article 2:107a of the Dutch Civil Code of the acquisition, directly or indirectly (whether by way of an offer (and subsequent compulsory acquisition) or any other legal arrangement) of all or any portion of the ordinary shares of Perrigo outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) as of the consummation of such acquisition (the “Acquisition”) and the issuance of Mylan ordinary shares to Perrigo shareholders as part of the consideration in the Acquisition (the “Proposal”):

 

For

  Against   Abstain   Broker Non-Votes
251,472,642   128,140,447   1,603,706   —  

The Proposal received the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and therefore passed. Any abstentions, “blank votes” and invalid votes were counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but were not considered to be votes cast and therefore had no effect on the vote on the Proposal. Any “broker non-votes” were not treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and were not considered to be votes cast and therefore had no effect on the vote on the Proposal.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 28, 2015, Mylan issued a press release announcing shareholder approval of the Proposal. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The directors of Mylan accept responsibility for the information contained in this report. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the directors (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the information contained in this report is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

DEALING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules 2013 (the “Irish Takeover Rules”), if any person is, or becomes, ‘interested’ (directly or indirectly) in, 1% or more of any class of ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo or Mylan, all ‘dealings’ in any ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo or Mylan (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such ‘relevant securities’) must be publicly disclosed by not later than 3:30 pm (New York time) on the ‘business’ day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the ‘offer period’ ends. If two or more persons co-operate on the basis of any agreement, either express or tacit, either oral or written, to acquire an ‘interest’ in ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo or Mylan, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Irish Takeover Rules.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Irish Takeover Rules, all ‘dealings’ in ‘relevant securities’ of Perrigo by Mylan or ‘relevant securities’ of Mylan by Perrigo, or by any party acting in concert with either of them, must also be disclosed by no later than 12 noon (New York time) on the ‘business’ day following the date of the relevant transaction.


A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose ‘relevant securities’ ‘dealings’ should be disclosed, can be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie.

Interests in securities arise, in summary, when a person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an ‘interest’ by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Irish Takeover Rules, which can also be found on the Irish Takeover Panel’s website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to disclose a dealing under Rule 8, please consult the Irish Takeover Panel’s website at www.irishtakeoverpanel.ie or contact the Irish Takeover Panel on telephone number +353 1 678 9020 or fax number +353 1 678 9289.

Goldman Sachs, which is authorized by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority in the United Kingdom, is acting for Mylan and no one else in connection with the proposed acquisition of Perrigo by Mylan (the “Perrigo Proposal”) and will not be responsible to anyone other than Mylan for providing the protections afforded to clients of Goldman Sachs, or for giving advice in connection with the Perrigo Proposal or any matter referred to herein.

Goldman Sachs does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for the contents of this report or for any statement made or purported to be made by them or on their behalf in connection with the offer. Goldman Sachs accordingly disclaims all and any liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise which it might otherwise have in respect of this report or any such statement.
