Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the AGM (the “Proxy Statement”), Mylan received a proposed resolution from the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (the “UAW”) relating to the Company’s clawback policy (the “Shareholder Proposal”). Mylan appreciates the UAW’s perspective and welcomed the opportunity to discuss the Shareholder Proposal with shareholders, and so the Mylan Board decided to include the Shareholder Proposal for discussion at the AGM. Although the Shareholder Proposal was presented as a discussion item, the Company also decided to solicit shareholder views through the proxy card as a contribution to the discussion at the AGM. As a result of this solicitation, a majority of the proxies received indicated support for the Shareholder Proposal. As set forth in the Proxy Statement, any proxies indicating “Abstain” or deemed to express no view had no effect on determining the percentage of shareholders who supported the Shareholder Proposal. At the AGM, the Chairman of the Mylan Board confirmed that the Mylan Board will continue to consider the views and perspectives expressed by shareholders on this topic.

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
