DUBLIN, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company plc ("Perrigo") (NYSE: PRGO; TASE) today announced its rejection of the revised unsolicited offer from Mylan NV ("Mylan") (NASDAQ: MYL) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Perrigo for $75.00 per share in cash and 2.3 Mylan ordinary shares for each ordinary Perrigo share (the "Offer").

The Board previously concluded that Mylan's unsolicited proposal of April 8^th of $205.00 per share significantly undervalued the Company and its future growth prospects and was not in the best interests of Perrigo's shareholders.

Today's announcement from Mylan continues to propose a price lower than the previously rejected proposal. Based on Mylan's unaffected price of $55.31 per share on March 10, 2015, the last day of trading prior to widespread public speculation that Teva was considering an offer for Mylan, the value of the revised Offer is $202.20 per Perrigo share.

Shareholders are strongly advised to take no action in relation to the Offer.
