HERTFORDSHIRE, England and PITTSBURGH, Nov. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ: MYL; TASE) today announced that its offer to acquire all of the issued and to be issued share capital of Perrigo Company plc (NYSE: PRGO; TASE) has lapsed.

As of 8:00 AM Eastern Time on November 13, 2015, 58,040,150 Perrigo ordinary shares, representing approximately 40 percent of outstanding Perrigo ordinary shares, were validly tendered in the offer. Accordingly, the acceptance condition to the offer, as outlined in the September 14, 2015 Offer to Exchange / Prospectus, has not been satisfied and the offer has lapsed in accordance with its terms. As the offer has lapsed, it is no longer capable of further acceptance and both Mylan and tendering Perrigo shareholders have ceased to be bound by prior acceptances.

Any Perrigo ordinary shares which have been tendered by Perrigo shareholders have not been accepted for exchange and will be promptly returned to the relevant Perrigo shareholders.

Mylan's Executive Chairman Robert J. Coury commented, "As we have said all along, Mylan viewed Perrigo as a unique and exciting opportunity, but not one that was required for the future success of our company. With one of the strongest balance sheets in our industry, including a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2x^[1], as well as our well-recognized prowess in identifying attractive external assets, we are well-positioned to quickly execute on the next strategic, value-enhancing opportunities for our business, some of which we have already identified. These potential external opportunities, coupled with the numerous exciting organic growth drivers we have cultivated and the powerful and differentiated global platform we have built, ensure we will remain a leader in our industry and that we are well-positioned to deliver continued growth in the near- and long-term.             

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch commented, "Mylan's focused approach to organic and inorganic growth has delivered a 27% compound annual growth rate in adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) for shareholders since 2008, while strategically and consistently expanding our business. Our recent financial results continue to demonstrate the power of our standalone platform, with double digit-growth in our legacy business, as well as enhanced double-digit growth from the EPD business. With favorable dynamics for our EpiPen® Auto-Injector asset, along with promising future launches, the outlook for 2016 is very strong. Further, we continue to expect that this foundational strength of our business will allow us to deliver on our target of at least $6.00 in adjusted diluted EPS in 2018.  We are confident that our relentless focus on operational excellence, our exciting internal growth opportunities and our meaningful participation in ongoing industry consolidation will position us for continued success well into the future."

Neither Mylan nor, so far as the directors of Mylan are aware, any person acting in concert with Mylan held any relevant Perrigo securities immediately before commencement of the offer period and neither Mylan nor any person acting in concert with Mylan has acquired or agreed to acquire any relevant Perrigo securities during the offer period. Mylan has not received any acceptances of the offer from persons acting in concert with Mylan. Neither Mylan, nor any person acting in concert with Mylan is interested, or holds any short positions, in any relevant Perrigo securities.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The directors of Mylan accept responsibility for the information contained in this communication. 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 communication is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.

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 communication 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 communication or any such statement.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This communication includes the presentation of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted diluted EPS, are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of Mylan's financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. In addition, primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below, Mylan has provided reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures set forth below, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a) Adjustment for purchase accounting related amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively include $28 million, $18 million, $42 million and $16 million of intangible asset impairment charges.

(b) Adjustment represents exclusion of the pre-tax loss related to Mylan's clean energy investments, the activities of which qualify for income tax credits under section 45 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The amount is included in other expense (income), net.

(c) Adjustment for other income tax related items includes the exclusion from adjusted net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014 of the tax benefit of approximately $150 million related to the merger of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Agila Specialties Private Limited and Onco Therapies Limited, into Mylan Laboratories Limited.

(d) Adjusted diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2010, includes the full effect of the conversion of the company's preferred stock into 125.2 million shares of common stock on November 15, 2010. Adjusted diluted EPS for the period ended December 31, 2009 was calculated under the "if-converted method" which assumes conversion of the Company's preferred stock into shares of common stock, based on an average share price, and excludes the preferred dividend from the calculation, as the "if-converted method" is more dilutive.

^[1] Mylan's debt was $6.31 billion as of September 30, 2015, and Mylan's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2015 was $3.15 billion.  While debt is a GAAP measure as reflected in our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Please see the back of this release for the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings.
