 overarching conspiracy concerning various topical products (described below). Perrigo was initially named as a defendant in the Clobetasol class bellwether cases, but the classes voluntarily dismissed their claims against Perrigo relating to “single drug” conspiracies involving Clobetasol in May 2023. Discovery closed in the first phase of bellwether cases on October 2, 2023. Summary judgment motions in the State bellwether case were filed in September 2024, and briefing on those motions is complete. The court certified classes of direct and “end-user” customers of the products at issue on March 7, 2025. The Third Circuit accepted an appeal of the class certification decisions in the bellwether cases on June 17, 2025. All district court proceedings in those cases are stayed pending resolution of that appeal.On October 15, 2024, the Court selected the first multi-drug complaint brought by direct action plaintiff Humana, Inc., which names Perrigo as a defendant, to proceed as one of two cases in the second phase of bellwether cases in the MDL. No trial date has yet been set for this case.State Attorney General Complaint On June 10, 2020, the Connecticut Attorney General’s office filed a lawsuit on behalf of Connecticut and 50 other states and territories against Perrigo, 35 generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, and certain individuals (including two former Perrigo employees), alleging an overarching conspiracy to allocate customers and/or fix, raise, or stabilize prices of eighty products. This case is included among the “bellwether cases” designated to follow the expedited schedule described above. On April 19, 2024, this case was remanded from the MDL and transferred to the District of Connecticut. The court ordered three rounds of summary judgment briefing. Two rounds of briefing are complete, and the third round of summary judgment motions was filed on July 9, 2025, with briefing of that round scheduled to complete on November 21, 2025. No trial date has been set for this case.
