DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS. Pursuant to a delegation by the Board of Directors of Perrigo Company (the "Company"), the Retirement Committee of the Company amended and restated the Perrigo Company Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan ("Plan") on October 10, 2007 to add supplemental profit sharing and matching contributions to the Plan and to make certain other changes necessary to comply with final regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). A description of the amendment to the Plan follows. The following description of the amendment to the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amended and restated Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The Plan has been amended, effective retroactively to January 1, 2007, to provide annual profit-sharing contributions and matching contributions that cannot be provided under the Perrigo Company Profit-Sharing and Investment Plan (the "Qualified Plan") because of the limitations of Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code. Code Section 415 limits annual additions to a participant's account under the Qualified Plan to a specified dollar amount, currently $45,000 (or $50,000 for certain employees who are at least age 50). Code Section 401(a)(17) limits total compensation that can be considered as the basis for a contribution under the Qualified Plan to a specified dollar amount, currently $225,000. For Plan years beginning January 1, 2007 and after, the amendment will provide affected employees with the profit sharing contributions and matching contributions they would have been eligible for under the Qualified Plan but for the limitations under the Code.
