Perrigo Company plc - Item 1Note 17

Michael Jandernoa, Gerald Kunkle, Herman Morris, and Donal O’Connor). The complaint alleges violations under Israeli securities laws that are similar to U.S. Securities Exchange Act sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b‑5) and 14(e) against all defendants and 20(a) control person liability against the 11 individuals or, in the alternative, under other Israeli securities laws. In general, the allegations in Israel are similar to the factual allegations in the Roofer's case in the U.S. as described above. The plaintiff indicates an initial, preliminary class damages estimate of 2.7 billion NIS (approximately $760.0 million at 1 NIS = 0.28 cents). The plaintiff in this case agreed to stay this case pending the outcome of the Roofer's case in the U.S. (described above). The Israeli Court approved the stay, and this case is now stayed. We intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.Other MattersTalcum PowderThe Company has been named, together with other manufacturers, in product liability lawsuits in a variety of state courts alleging that the use of body powder products containing talcum powder causes mesothelioma and lung cancer due to the presence of asbestos. All but one of these cases involve legacy talcum powder products that have not been manufactured by the Company since 1999. One of the pending actions involves a current prescription product that contains talc as an excipient. As of September 27, 2025, the Company has been named in approximately 215 individual lawsuits seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The Company has several defenses and continues to vigorously defend these lawsuits as well as explore various means of expeditiously resolving these claims. Trials for these cases are currently scheduled throughout 2025 and 2026. There are currently over 36 trials set for these cases in the remainder of 2025. We expect that a substantial majority of these trial dates will be postponed. Two cases are currently set for trial in Alameda County, California in November and December 2025. It is expected that trials for these two cases may begin in November and December 2025
