On April 30, 2026, Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”) held its 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

The material terms of the 2026 Plan are described in “Proposal 4 - Approval of the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, as supplemented by the DEFA 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2026 and is incorporated herein by reference.
