On February 7, 2023, Theodore R. Samuels, an independent member of the Perrigo Company plc Board of Directors, advised Perrigo’s Nominating & Governance Committee that he will not stand for re-election to our Board of Directors at the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders in 2023 and intends to retire from our Board at that time. Mr. Samuels, 68, has been a member of the Board since 2017 and currently serves on our Audit Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. Mr. Samuels’ decision to retire is not the result of any disagreement with the Company, and he will continue in his role as director until the 2023 annual general meeting.
Murray Kessler, Perrigo’s President and CEO, said: “On behalf of the entire Board and management team, I want to thank Ted for his dedicated and effective service to the Company since 2017. He has been an outstanding director and we are thankful for his contributions over the years as we have transformed Perrigo into a consumer self-care company.”
