According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Perrigo disclosed on December 21, 2018, that the Company received an audit letter from Irish tax authorities which stated in part: “IP sales transactions… including the sale of Tysabri®, were not part of the trade of Elan Pharma and therefore should have been treated as chargeable gains subject to an effective 33% tax rate, rather than the 12.5% tax rate applicable to trading income.” Perrigo had disclosed that it received the audit finding letter on November 8, 2018, but did not disclose the contents of the letter to investors at that time. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Perrigo, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.
