Departure of Patrick Lockwood-Taylor
On June 7, 2026, Patrick Lockwood-Taylor resigned, effective immediately, as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Perrigo Company plc (the “Company”).

On June 7, 2026, the Board appointed Albert A. Manzone, Director and member of the Audit Committee of the Board, as the Company’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. Concurrently, the Board has initiated a comprehensive search process to identify a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Manzone’s biography is set forth under the heading “Election of Directors - About the Nominated Directors” in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2026, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with his appointment, Mr. Manzone will step down as a member of the Audit Committee during the time of his service as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mr. Manzone will step down as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Monte-Carlo Society des Bains de Mer.
Compensatory arrangements relating to Mr. Manzone’s service as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company have not been definitively determined as of the date hereof.
