Perrigo Company plc Ordinary Shares (NYSE: PRGO)
Plaintiff’s law firm issued a press release on January 3, 2019 announcing the filing of the Complaint. According to the press release, the Complaint alleges that on December 21, 2018, Perrigo issued a Form 8-K disclosing that the Company had received an audit finding letter from the Irish tax authorities on October 30, 2018 asserting “that 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.”
