Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 6, 2018, Neogen Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG) announced that Executive Chairman James Herbert intends to make a significant gift of Neogen stock to a charitable organization that he and his wife have supported for many years.

The company advised that according to Herbert’s plan the stock gift might be as much as 400,000 shares over the coming months. However, this amount would still represent less than 30% of Herbert’s Neogen stock ownership.

A copy of the press release issued by the Registrant to announce the above is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99. This press release is being furnished to, as opposed to filed with, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
