 determine a reasonable estimate of the maximum possible loss or range of loss for these matters given that they are at various stages of the litigation process and each case is subject to the inherent uncertainties of litigation.Insurance Coverage LitigationIn May 2021, insurers on multiple policies of D&O insurance filed an action in the High Court in Dublin against the Company and multiple current and former directors and officers of the Company seeking declaratory judgments on certain coverage issues. Those coverage issues include claims that policies for periods beginning in December 2015 (the "2015 Policy") and December 2016 (the "2016 Policy"), respectively, do not have to provide coverage for the securities actions described above pending in the District of New Jersey or in Massachusetts state court concerning the events of 2015-2017.

The High Court held additional hearings in April and July 2024 to hear the parties' submissions concerning under which of the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Policies Perrigo is entitled to coverage. The High Court delivered written judgments in January, May and July 2024, finding that coverage is available to Perrigo under each of the 2014 Policy, 2015 Policy and 2016 Policy. On October 18, 2024 the Court issued its final order on its three judgments, and the parties filed cross appeals of those three judgments in November and December 2024. On December 18,
