Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

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”). This resignation follows a determination by the Board that certain personal conduct was not consistent with the Company’s Code of Conduct and core values. Consequently, the Board has reduced the number of directors constituting the Board from 9 to 8.

Mr. Lockwood-Taylor’s resignation is not related to the Company’s business, strategy, operations, financial reporting, or results of operations.

Appointment of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer

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. The Company will provide disclosure of the material terms of such arrangements on an amendment to this current report on Form 8-K within four business days after they become available.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Manzone and any Company director or executive officer, and no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Manzone and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer. Since January 1, 2025, there have been no transactions, and there are no currently proposed transactions, to which the Company was or is a participant and in which Mr. Manzone had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
