BENSALEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Perrigo Company plc ("Perrigo" or the "Company") PRGO securities between April 21, 2015 and May 11, 2016, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Perrigo investors have until July 18, 2016 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

Investors suffering losses on their Perrigo investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Perrigo as a standalone entity would be unable to achieve organic revenue growth of 5% to 10%; (ii) Perrigo's competitive position and growth strategy were not "durable" but were in fact eroding; (iii) Perrigo was facing serious issues integrating the acquisition of Omega Pharma N.A. ("Omega") into the Company and had significantly overpaid for Omega; (iv) for the foregoing reasons, among others, Mylan's offer did not undervalue Perrigo; and (v) as a result of the foregoing, Perrigo's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

If you purchased shares of Perrigo during the Class Period you may move the Court no later than July 18, 2016 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.
