Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 18, 2013, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, dated July 28, 2013 (the “Transaction Agreement”), between Perrigo Company (“Perrigo”), Elan Corporation, plc (“Elan”), Leopard Company (“MergerSub”), Habsont Limited and Perrigo Company plc (f/k/a Blisfont Limited) (“New Perrigo”), (a) New Perrigo acquired Elan (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to a scheme of arrangement under Section 201, and a capital reduction under Sections 72 and 74, of the Irish Companies Act of 1963 (the “Scheme”) and (b) MergerSub merged with and into Perrigo, with Perrigo as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger” and, together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”). Following the consummation of the Transactions, each of Perrigo and Elan became wholly owned subsidiaries of New Perrigo.

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, each Elan ordinary share (“Elan Ordinary Shares”) and each Elan American Depositary Share (“Elan ADSs” and, together with the Elan Ordinary Shares, the “Elan Shares”) was converted into the right to receive $6.25 in cash and 0.07636 of a New Perrigo ordinary share (the “New Perrigo Ordinary Shares”), and each of Perrigo’s common shares (the “Perrigo Common Shares”) was converted into the right to receive $0.01 in cash and one New Perrigo Ordinary Share.

The issuance of New Perrigo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Transactions was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to New Perrigo’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-190859) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC and declared effective on October 9, 2013. The definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus of Perrigo and Elan, dated October 15, 2013, that forms a part of the Registration Statement contains additional information about the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including a description of the treatment of equity awards and information concerning the interests of directors, executive officers and affiliates of Perrigo and Elan in the Transactions.

Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), New Perrigo is the successor issuer to Perrigo and to Elan. New Perrigo’s Ordinary Shares are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and New Perrigo is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. New Perrigo’s Ordinary Shares were approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) and trade under the symbol “PRGO.”

Prior to the Transactions, Perrigo’s Common Shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the NYSE and the TASE. The Elan ADSs were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the NYSE. The Elan Ordinary Shares were listed on Irish Stock Exchange (the “ISE”). The Perrigo Common Shares were suspended from trading (i) on the NYSE as of close of business (Eastern Standard Time) on December 18, 2013 and (ii) on the TASE as of close of business (local time) on December 19, 2013. The Elan ADS were suspended from trading on the NYSE as of close of business (Eastern Standard Time) on December 18, 2013, and the Elan Ordinary Shares were suspended from trading on the ISE as of close of business (local time) on December 17, 2013. Each of Perrigo and Elan expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration under the Exchange Act of the Perrigo Common Shares and the Elan ADSs, respectively.

The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Perrigo’s current report filed on Form 8-K dated as of July 29, 2013, and incorporated herein by reference.

Perrigo has requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 to withdraw the Perrigo Common Shares from listing and terminate the registration of the Perrigo Common Shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

These statements or disclosures may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future trends, plans, events, results of operations or financial condition, or state other information relating to Perrigo, New Perrigo or Elan, based on current beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. It is important to note that Perrigo’s, New Perrigo’s and Elan’s goals and expectations are not predictions of actual performance. Perrigo’s, New Perrigo’s or Elan’s performance, at times, will differ from its goals and expectations. Forward-looking statements generally will be accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; successful integration of the Elan acquisition and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the Elan acquisition; the difficulty of predicting the timing and outcome of pending or future litigation and government investigations and risks that an adverse outcome in such litigation or investigations could render Perrigo, New Perrigo or Elan liable for substantial damages or penalties; risks that resolution of patent infringement litigation through settlement could result in investigations or actions by private parties or government authorities or agencies; the impact of competitive products and pricing; risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; periodic dependence on a small number of

products for a material source of net revenue or income; variability of trade buying patterns; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; risks that the carrying values of assets may be negatively impacted by future events and circumstances; the timing and success of product launches; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of product development efforts and regulatory agency approvals or actions, if any; risks and uncertainties normally incident to the pharmaceutical industry, including product liability claims and the availability of product liability insurance on reasonable terms; market acceptance of and continued demand for Perrigo’s, New Perrigo’s or Elan’s products; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the availability and pricing of third party sourced products and materials; successful compliance with governmental regulations applicable to Perrigo’s, New Perrigo’s or Elan’s facilities, products and/or businesses; changes in the laws and regulations, including Medicare, Medicaid, and similar laws in foreign countries affecting, among other things, pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products and the settlement of patent litigation. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in Perrigo Company’s periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Perrigo Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2013 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 28, 2013, Elan Corporation, plc’s periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Elan Corporation, plc’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012, and Perrigo Company plc’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Perrigo Company plc’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 28, 2013.
