This registration statement on Form S-8 (the “ Registration Statement ”) registers the issuance of an aggregate of 7,000,000 ordinary shares, nominal value $0.0001 per share (“ Ordinary Shares ”), of Endo International plc (the “ Company ” or the “ Registrant ”), that have been added to the award pool pursuant to the Endo International plc Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, as further amended on June 11, 2019.

(2)

Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional Ordinary Shares of the Company which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution resulting from adjustments as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, split-ups, reorganizations, consolidations and other capital adjustments.

Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum aggregate offering are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee and are based on the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s Ordinary Shares as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 29, 2019. Pursuant to Rule 457(h)(2) under the Securities Act, no separate fee is required to register plan interests.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is filed pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 for the purpose of registering an additional 7,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company that are reserved for future award grants pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”), as amended and restated on June 11, 2019 (as in effect, the “ Amended Plan ”).

On April 29, 2019, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement (the “ Proxy Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”). Proposal 3 in the Proxy Statement requested that shareholders of the Company approve the Amended Plan, which, among other things, increases the authorized number of Ordinary Shares that may be issued under the Amended Plan by 7,000,000. On June 11, 2019, the shareholders of the Company approved the Amended Plan. The newly added 7,000,000 Ordinary Shares are being registered on this Registration Statement.

Previously, Ordinary Shares were registered for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the Registrant’s registration statements on Form S-8 filed on June 15, 2015 (File No. 333-204958), on August 9, 2017 (File No. 333-219806) and on August 8, 2018 (File No. 333-226677) (collectively, the “ Prior Registration Statements ”). The Ordinary Shares registered pursuant to this Registration Statement are of the same class of securities as the Ordinary Shares registered pursuant to the Prior Registration Statements. In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements, including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, are incorporated herein by reference.
