Proxy Statement for 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

General Information

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Endo International plc (the Board), an Irish public limited company, of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting to be held on June 11, 2020, beginning at 8:00 a.m., Dublin, Ireland time. The Annual Meeting will be held at First Floor, Minerva House, Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we are furnishing the Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and 2019 Irish Statutory Financial Statements (collectively, the proxy materials) by providing access to these materials electronically on the internet. We expect to provide access to the 2019 Irish Statutory Financial Statements on or about May 7, 2020. As such, we are not mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each shareholder of record or beneficial owner, and our shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request this form of delivery. We will provide printed copies upon request at no charge.

We are mailing a Notice of Meeting and Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (Notice of Internet Availability) to our shareholders on or about April 28, 2020. This Notice of Internet Availability is being mailed in lieu of the printed proxy materials and contains instructions for our shareholders on how they may: (i) access and review our proxy materials on the internet; (ii) submit their proxy; and (iii) request printed proxy materials. Shareholders may request to receive printed proxy materials by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis by following the instructions in the Notice of Internet Availability. We believe that providing proxy materials electronically enables us to save costs associated with printing and delivering the materials and reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings.

Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, references in this proxy statement to “Endo,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Endo International plc and its subsidiaries.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

The Board of Directors

Under the terms of the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (the Articles of Association), directors need not be shareholders of the Company or residents of Ireland. However, pursuant to the Common Stock Ownership Guidelines (the Ownership Guidelines) approved by the Board, each non-employee director eligible to own Company stock should, but is not required to, have ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares equal in value to at least three times his or her current annual cash retainer to be generally achieved within five years of joining the Board, as further described in the section below entitled “Common Stock Ownership Guidelines.” Directors are elected for a one-year term and shall retire from office unless re-elected by ordinary resolution at the next following Annual General Meeting. Non-employee directors generally receive compensation for their services as determined by the Board, as further described in the section entitled “Compensation of Non-Employee Directors.” However, Paul V. Campanelli, who is a non-management director of the Company, will receive compensation in 2020 pursuant to a letter agreement entered into and approved by the Compensation Committee in December 2019, and will not receive non-employee board compensation and/or fees for services as a board member, or for serving as Chairman of the Board, until after his retirement as an employee of the Company on December 31, 2020.

As set forth in the Articles of Association, the number of directors of the Company shall be not less than five nor more than twelve, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board. A vacancy on the Board, or a newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum remains. A director appointed to fill a vacancy remains a director until the next following Annual General Meeting or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

As of December 31, 2019, the Board consisted of six members, including Paul V. Campanelli, Shane M. Cooke, Nancy J. Hutson, Ph.D., Michael Hyatt, Roger H. Kimmel and William P. Montague. Additionally, Mark G. Barberio was appointed to the Board effective February 19, 2020 and Blaise Coleman was appointed to the Board effective March 6, 2020. All of the current members are nominated by the Board for re-election as directors of the Company. The Board has fixed the number of directors at eight.

The Board annually determines the independence of directors based on a review by the Board and the Nominating & Governance Committee. No director is considered independent unless the Board has determined that he or she has no material relationship with the Company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a material relationship with the Company. Material relationships can include commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, among others. To evaluate the materiality of any such relationship, the Board has adopted categorical independence standards consistent with the Nasdaq’s listing rules. These standards are available on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Nominating & Governance Committee.”

Members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating & Governance Committees must meet applicable independence tests of the Nasdaq.

The Board has affirmatively determined that all of its current members and nominees, except for Messrs. Campanelli and Coleman, are independent under the Nasdaq’s listing rules. Mr. Campanelli is not independent due to his former role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Coleman is not independent due to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

In determining Mr. Cooke’s independence, the Board considered his relationship with Alkermes plc (Alkermes), which has a 2002 license agreement with one of the Company’s subsidiaries with respect to Megace ES^® in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Mr. Cooke was President of Alkermes until March 2018, when he was appointed to the board of directors of Alkermes. The total amount of royalty and related payments made to Alkermes in 2019 was approximately $0.2 million. The Board also considered Mr. Cooke’s relationship with UDG Healthcare plc (UDG), where he has served as a director since February 2019. The Company’s subsidiaries and UDG are parties to agreements, entered into in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, whereby UDG provides certain services to the Company relating primarily to the packaging, by UDG’s Sharp division, of certain of the Company’s pharmaceutical products. The total amount of payments made to UDG by the Company in 2019 was approximately $6.8 million. The Board has determined that these relationships are not material and do not impair Mr. Cooke’s independence.

In addition, the Board previously had determined that former directors Sharad S. Mansukani, M.D. and Todd B. Sisitsky were independent. It was determined that Dr. Mansukani’s service as an advisor to, and Mr. Sisitsky’s service as an executive of, TPG Capital LP (referred to herein as TPG or TPG Capital), one of Endo’s shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2019, did not interfere with their independence as directors. In determining Dr. Mansukani’s independence, the Board also considered his relationship with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), to which the Company sells certain sterile injectable products in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. Dr. Mansukani serves as Treasurer and member of the board of trustees of CHOP.

On an annual basis and upon the nomination of any new director, the Nominating & Governance Committee and the Board review directors’ responses to a questionnaire asking about their relationships with the Company (and those of their immediate family members) and other potential conflicts of interest. The Nominating & Governance Committee has determined that, except for Messrs. Campanelli and Coleman, all of the directors currently serving are independent and that the members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating & Governance Committees also meet the applicable independence tests of the Nasdaq listing rules. Specifically, the Nominating & Governance Committee and the Board have determined that, during the last three years, none of the current directors, except for Messrs. Campanelli and Coleman, has had any material relationship with the Company that would compromise independence. The Nominating & Governance Committee recommended this determination to the Board and explained the basis for its recommendation, and this determination was adopted by the full Board.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company is not aware of any material legal proceedings to which any director or executive officer of the Company, or any associate thereof, is a party that are adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Nominees

There are eight nominees for election as directors of the Company to serve until the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, or until death, resignation or removal, if earlier. All of the nominees are currently serving as directors of the Company. In addition, except for Messrs. Barberio and Coleman, all of the nominees were elected to the Board at the last Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The proposed nominees for election as directors have confirmed that they are each willing to serve as directors of the Company. If, as a result of circumstances not now known or foreseen, a nominee shall be unavailable or unwilling to serve as a director, an alternate nominee may be designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy.

The Board believes that each of the Company’s directors is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board and each has contributed to the mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications of the Board. When evaluating candidates for election to the Board, the Nominating & Governance Committee seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including experience, skills, expertise, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in

Corporate Governance

Board Leadership Structure

We have a board leadership structure under which Mr. Campanelli serves as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Kimmel serves as Senior Independent Director of the Board. The position of Senior Independent Director was created by the Board in April 2018 following the recommendation of the Nominating & Governance Committee to support the Chairman and to provide management and shareholders with additional means of access to the Board. This position was created to align the Company’s board leadership structure with those of other Irish-domiciled companies. Our Board currently has four standing committees. Each committee has a committee chair and each committee consists solely of independent directors. In addition, the Board appoints other committees as the Board considers appropriate or necessary from time to time.

The Board generally believes that the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate and that the Chairman should not be part of the Company’s management. Accordingly, the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are filled by Mr. Campanelli and Mr. Coleman, respectively. However, the Board recognizes that under certain circumstances, the Board may determine that it would be in the best interest of the Company if the roles of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are undertaken by the same person, who may not be “independent.” In addition, the Board has determined that in the event the Chairman is not “independent,” the Board shall select a Senior Independent Director. Accordingly, the role of the Senior Independent Director is filled by Mr. Kimmel.

7

We believe that our Board consists of directors with significant leadership, organizational and strategic skills, as discussed above. All of our independent directors have served as chair, vice chair, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and/or senior executive of other significant companies. Accordingly, we believe that our independent directors have demonstrated leadership in large enterprises, many with relevant industry experience, and are well-versed in board processes and corporate governance. We believe that having directors with such significant leadership skills benefits our company and our shareholders.

In addition to the general duties and responsibilities of a director, in accordance with the Articles of Association and our corporate governance guidelines, the Chairman is responsible for setting Board meeting agendas, dates and locations, presiding over all Board and shareholder meetings, presiding over all executive sessions of the Board, if independent, meeting regularly with the Chief Executive Officer between Board meetings and facilitating full and candid communication among directors and between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer. In addition to the general duties and responsibilities of a director, in accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, the Senior Independent Director is responsible for fulfilling the Chairman’s duties, as described above, in the event that the Chairman is unavailable or unable to fulfill the Chairman’s duties, including presiding over executive sessions of the Board, together with assisting the Chairman and the chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee with board evaluation, acting as a liaison with specified industry groups designated by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer at their direction, supporting the Chairman and providing management and shareholders with additional means of access to the Board and acting as an intermediary for other directors, if necessary or appropriate. Each director also may suggest items for inclusion on the agenda and may, at any Board meeting, raise subjects that are not on the agenda for that meeting. As required by our corporate governance guidelines, our independent directors meet separately, without management present, at each meeting of the Board. In addition, our Board committees regularly meet without members of management present.

As part of its annual self-evaluation process, the Board evaluates the Company’s governance structure. We believe that having a President and Chief Executive Officer with oversight of company operations, coupled with a seasoned Board that includes an accomplished and knowledgeable Board Chairman, Senior Independent Director, other independent directors and separate independent committee chairs, is the appropriate leadership structure for Endo.

Board Responsibilities

The Board is responsible for overseeing and advising management with respect to the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board’s responsibilities include, among others, the following:

To address these responsibilities, the Board and its committees meet on at least quarterly basis with members of management, including at regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings, and participate in recurring informational calls and other ad hoc discussions with management that generally occur at least quarterly. Additional information is included throughout the remainder of this section and under the heading “Board Meetings, Attendance and Committees of the Board of Directors” below.

Risk Oversight

On a regular basis, the Company’s officers responsible for monitoring and managing risks across the Company’s various functions and business segments make reports to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, in turn, reports to the full Board of Directors. While the Audit Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing risk management, our entire Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company by engaging in periodic discussions with Endo officers as the Board may deem appropriate. In addition, each of our Board committees considers the risks within its respective areas of responsibility.

The Board believes that one of its most important responsibilities is to oversee how the Company’s Executive Leadership Team, which includes our current named executive officers (NEOs) and other senior leaders, manages the various risks the Company faces and has delegated primary responsibility for overseeing the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program to the Audit Committee. It is management’s responsibility to manage risk and bring the most material risks the Company faces to the attention of the Audit Committee and the Board. The Company’s head of internal audit, who reports functionally to the Audit Committee, facilitates the ERM program under the sponsorship of our Executive Leadership Team. Enterprise risks are identified and prioritized by management, and each material risk is assigned by the Board to a Board committee or the full Board for oversight based on the nature of the risk area and the committee’s charter. The committee or full Board agendas include discussions of individual risk areas throughout the year. Additionally, the Audit Committee agendas include periodic updates on the ERM program.

8

The Audit Committee regularly reviews, in consultation with third party advisors as appropriate, risks and risk management activities relating to liquidity, debt, financial, accounting, legal, tax, compliance, information technology security and other matters. The Compensation Committee considers risks related to succession planning and the attraction and retention of talent as well as risks relating to the design of compensation programs and arrangements, succession planning and leadership development. The Compensation Committee also reviews compensation and benefit plans affecting Endo’s executive officers and other employees. The full Board considers strategic risks and opportunities and regularly receives reports from its committees regarding risk oversight in their respective areas of responsibility.

Code of Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to the Company’s directors, executive officers (including its President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) and other employees (Endo Code). The Board has also adopted a Code of Conduct for the Board of Directors (Director Code). These Codes are posted on the Company’s website at www.endo.com. The Endo Code is available under “Our Responsibility—Corporate Compliance—Code of Conduct,” and the Director Code is available under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Code of Conduct.” Any waiver of either code for a director or executive officer of the Company, as applicable, may be made only by the Board or a committee of the Board. Such waivers and any amendments to either code will be disclosed on the Company’s website if required by law or stock exchange rules.

Recovery of Compensation

The Compensation Committee maintains a compensation recovery policy relating to recoupment of cash and equity-based incentive awards (collectively, Covered Awards) granted to NEOs and other senior management employees at the vice president level and above (collectively, Covered Employees). Under the policy, if the Company issues a material restatement of its reported financial results caused by the Covered Employee’s fraud or intentional misconduct, as determined by the Compensation Committee, then the Compensation Committee will direct the Company to use reasonable efforts to seek recovery of all Covered Awards that were paid or granted for performance during the restated fiscal year or years. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the ability to recoup certain Covered Awards granted to Covered Employees for material misconduct or gross negligence resulting in a material violation of the Company’s policies or applicable laws, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, which causes material financial harm to the Company. In the event that the Compensation Committee invokes this policy to recover any Covered Awards, the Company will disclose such recoupment as required by law or regulation or if the applicable misconduct has otherwise become public knowledge.

Insider Trading Policy

The Board has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which applies to all personnel, including non-employee directors and officers, arising from our legal and ethical responsibilities as a public company. Among other restrictions, the Insider Trading Policy contains hedging restrictions prohibiting non-employee directors, the Company’s executive officers and all other employees from purchasing any financial instrument that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of the Company’s shares, including puts, calls or other derivative transactions. Non-employee directors, the Company’s executive officers and all other employees are also restricted from engaging in short sales related to the Company’s ordinary shares and pledging the Company’s shares as collateral for a loan, including holding shares in a margin account.

Company Policy on Parachute Payments

The Board has adopted a policy that provides that the Company will not enter into any future employment agreements that include “golden parachute” excise tax gross-ups with respect to payments contingent upon a change in control. An excess parachute payment is generally a change in control payment in excess of one times the average of the officer’s taxable W-2 income for the five years prior to the change in control (base amount), and generally only results if the change in control payment exceeds 2.99 times the base amount. Excess parachute payments, including any excise tax gross-up payments, are non-deductible to the Company under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Accordingly, the Company does not have any employment agreements with change in control excise tax gross up provisions.

Common Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Board has adopted the Ownership Guidelines both for non-employee directors and for executive officers and senior management of the Company. The Board believes that non-employee directors and senior management should have a significant equity position in the Company and that the Ownership Guidelines serve to further the Board’s interest in encouraging a longer-term focus in managing the Company. The Board also believes that the Ownership Guidelines align the interests of its directors and senior management with the interests of shareholders and further promote Endo’s commitment to sound corporate governance. The Ownership Guidelines are posted on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Nominating & Governance Committee.” The current Ownership Guidelines provide that each non-employee director eligible to own Company stock should, but is not required to, have ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares equal in value to at least three times his or her current annual cash retainer to be generally achieved within five years of joining the Board. All non-employee directors and NEOs subject to the Ownership Guidelines are in compliance with the recommended guidelines.

Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons

The Board has adopted written policies and procedures for review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving the Company and “related persons” (directors and executive officers or their immediate family members, or beneficial owners of

9

greater than five percent of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares). The policy covers any related person transaction that meets the minimum threshold for disclosure in the Proxy Statement under relevant SEC rules (generally, transactions involving amounts exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a direct or indirect material interest). Such transactions are subject to review and approval by the Audit Committee.

Robert Campanelli is the Executive Director, Strategic Operations at Par Pharmaceutical, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company. Mr. Campanelli joined Par Pharmaceutical Inc. in 2003 as a senior product manager and has worked in ascending areas of responsibility since that time. He is the brother of Paul Campanelli, Chairman of the Board. Robert Campanelli’s 2019 compensation, calculated in accordance with the rules applicable to the Summary Compensation Table, totaled $414,344, of which $229,820 was salary, $121,930 was annual and other bonuses and $62,594 was compensation under the Company’s long-term incentive equity plan. In addition, Robert Campanelli is also eligible to participate in the retirement plans, insurance programs, health benefits and other similar employee welfare benefit arrangements available to other employees of comparable level and on substantially similar terms and conditions.

Shareholder Interaction

Shareholder Communications with Directors

The Board has established a process to receive communications from shareholders. Shareholders may contact any member or all members of the Board, including the Chairman or the Senior Independent Director, any Board committee or the chair of any such committee by mail. To communicate with the Board, any individual director or any group or committee of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board of Directors or any such individual director or group or committee of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent “c/o Corporate Secretary” to Endo International plc, First Floor, Minerva House, Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland.

All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the office of our Corporate Secretary for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to our directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, or patently offensive material will be forwarded promptly to the addressee(s). In the case of communications to the Board or any group or committee of directors, the Corporate Secretary’s office will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee to which the communication is addressed.

Shareholder Engagement

Endo’s Board believes it is important to directly engage with shareholders, including targeted outreach initiatives as a means of soliciting their views on matters, including governance, environmental, social, executive compensation and other important topics, in order to assist our Board with items requiring a broader shareholder perspective. Over the past several years, certain independent directors and members of our management team have engaged with our shareholders, as well as with third party advisory firms to discuss key issues on a variety of topics. In addition to the shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation (the say-on-pay vote), these conversations have provided the Board with insights into evolving shareholder views, while serving as an effective communication channel for matters of critical importance to Endo’s short- and long-term priorities. Members of Endo’s Board, including independent directors, plan to continue efforts to engage with and maintain an open dialogue with shareholders.

In 2019, the Company continued efforts to engage with shareholders, following 2018 discussions with shareholders, as well as ISS and Glass Lewis. The 2018 conversations resulted in changes being implemented by the Compensation Committee in 2019, including:

Following the implementation of these changes, the Company’s 2019 shareholder engagement process resulted in the following feedback:

The feedback received from shareholders relating to encouraging management continuity as well as the Company’s stock utilization limitations are material concerns also shared by the Board. For Endo employees, including the Company’s NEOs, significant realized value opportunities have been lost over the past several years due to external factors outside of the

10

employees’ control, including unfavorable media coverage and political scrutiny and litigation relating to prescription opioid medication abuse. The negative impact these factors had on Endo’s share price created significant continuity risk and share usage concerns for the Company that required immediate attention.

The actions implemented by the Compensation Committee as a result of this feedback were intended to directly address these concerns. First, continuity compensation arrangements were authorized by the Compensation Committee to increase realizable earnings for Endo’s most critical talent in an effort to help bridge the gap between current pay and competitive norms. In addition, the use of cash-based long-term incentives in 2020 was also authorized to address shareholder concerns regarding share usage and dilution resulting from Endo’s reduced share price, but also to serve as a separate mechanism to allow for predictable realizable value opportunities for all LTI-eligible employees. Both actions were required to maintain management continuity and increase the level of motivation for Endo employees, which in turn are key to driving the success of the business on an ongoing basis. The changes implemented as a result of the feedback received in 2019 are discussed further under “Executive Summary” in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement.

Board Meetings, Attendance and Committees of the Board of Directors

Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Board as a whole met five times and acted by written consent on one occasion. All members of the Board attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served in 2019 (that were held during the respective periods in which they served on the Board and related committees). The Board’s committees also routinely engage with members of management outside of these scheduled meetings, including their participation in recurring informational calls that generally occur at least quarterly and other ad hoc discussions. The Company does not have a policy on director attendance at Annual Meetings. Messrs. Kimmel and Cooke and Dr. Mansukani attended the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the 2019 Annual Meeting).

The Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating & Governance Committee and Compliance Committee. The Board has determined that each committee’s chair and members, both current and expected, are “independent” in accordance with the criteria established by the SEC and Nasdaq. Each of these committees operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board describing the nature and scope of responsibilities of each committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the accounting practices of the Company and the Company’s internal controls and legal compliance functions. The Audit Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Audit Committee.”

Management of the Company has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial reporting process, principles and internal controls as well as preparation of its financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of, and expressing an opinion on, the conformity of the Company’s financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Audit Committee met four times, in each case including periodic meetings held separately with management, the Company’s internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board determines the salary and incentive compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer, reviews and approves the compensation levels of certain other senior executives of the Company, including the NEOs, and provides broad guidance regarding the remuneration and incentive compensation of the other employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee also reviews all the recommendations of the Company’s management for awards granted under the Endo International plc Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan and acts on such recommendations, as appropriate, in the Committee’s judgment. The Compensation Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Compensation Committee.”

The primary function of the Compensation Committee is to set and review the Company’s general executive compensation policies and strategies and oversee and evaluate the Company’s overall compensation structure and programs. The Compensation Committee confirms that total compensation paid to the NEOs, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and those other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table, is competitive and performance-based. Responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include, but are not limited to:

11

Endo management provides reviews and recommendations of the Company’s executive compensation programs, policies and governance for the Compensation Committee’s consideration and review. Management responsibilities in this regard include, but are not limited to:

The Compensation Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to the NEOs.

Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Compensation Committee met five times.

Use of Compensation Consultants. The Compensation Committee retains Korn Ferry as its consultant to provide objective, independent analysis, advice and recommendations with regard to executive and employee compensation including, but not limited to, competitive market data, compensation analysis and recommendations related to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Board and our other senior executives. Korn Ferry served as the independent executive compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee for the Company’s entire 2019 fiscal year. The consultant reports to the Chair of the Compensation Committee and has direct access to the other members of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also authorizes the consultant to interact with management in certain respects in order to prepare for meetings with, and respond to requests from, the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may retain other consultants and advisors from time to time.

A representative of Korn Ferry attends meetings of the Compensation Committee, is available to participate in executive sessions and communicates directly with the Compensation Committee.

In determining the independence and lack of any conflict of interest regarding Korn Ferry and Korn Ferry’s lead advisor to the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the following factors:

In addition, Korn Ferry’s Policy on Avoiding Conflicts of Interest confirms that Korn Ferry’s compensation consultants will continue to provide clients with independent, unbiased advice. Endo’s Board determined that the policy sufficiently allows Korn Ferry Compensation Committee consultants to maintain independence.

In 2019, Korn Ferry assisted the Compensation Committee with, among other things, (i) performing a review of the Company’s executive and Board compensation programs, including competitive market analyses, assessment of potential risks associated with compensation arrangements, policies and plans and considerations related to Endo’s President and Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives, (ii) determining the appropriate allocation among short-term and long-term compensation, cash and non-cash compensation and the different forms of non-cash compensation, (iii) identifying appropriate Pay Comparator Companies (as defined below in CD&A) for purposes of benchmarking the Company’s executive com-

12

pensation in the industry sectors in which Endo competes for talent and (iv) providing competitive market information and an overview of critical issues and trends affecting the executive compensation landscape.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. As of the date of this Proxy Statement and during 2019, (i) none of the members of the Compensation Committee were or have been officers or employees of the Company or had or have had any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and (ii) none of the executive officers of the Company served or have served on the compensation committee or board of any company that employed any member of the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board.

Nominating & Governance Committee

The Nominating & Governance Committee of the Board, which consists of independent directors, identifies and recommends to the Board individuals qualified to serve as directors of the Company, recommends to the Board directors to serve on committees of the Board and advises the Board with respect to matters of Board composition and procedures. The Nominating & Governance Committee also oversees the Company’s corporate governance. The Nominating & Governance Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Nominating & Governance Committee.”

While the Board does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Board and the Nominating & Governance Committee advocate diversity in the broadest sense. We believe that it is important that nominees for the Board represent diverse viewpoints and backgrounds. The Nominating & Governance Committee considers a broad array of qualifications and attributes including: experience, skills, expertise, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication, independence and such other relevant factors that the Nominating & Governance Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board. Although not specified in its charter, the Nominating & Governance Committee also considers diversity, such as ethnicity and gender, when selecting candidates so that additional diversity may be represented on the Board.

The Nominating & Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Nominating & Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Nominating & Governance Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating & Governance Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include the following information:

The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary at Endo International plc, First Floor, Minerva House, Simmonscourt Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Nominating & Governance Committee will also, from time to time, engage national search firms that specialize in identifying and evaluating director candidates.

Once a person has been identified by the Nominating & Governance Committee as a potential candidate, the Nominating & Governance Committee may collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be considered further. If the Nominating & Governance Committee determines that the candidate warrants further consideration, the Chair or a member of the Nominating & Governance Committee utilizes a recognized search firm to review the candidate’s qualifications and background. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be considered and to serve on the Board, the Nominating & Governance Committee requests information from the candidate, reviews the person’s accomplishments and qualifications, including in light of any other candidates that the Nominating & Governance Committee might be considering, and conducts one or more interviews with the candidate. Generally, Nominating & Governance Committee members may conduct additional due diligence on the candidate. The Nominating & Governance Committee’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a shareholder, although the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held may be taken into consideration.

The Nominating & Governance Committee has established procedures under which any director who is not elected shall tender his or her resignation to the Board.

Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Nominating & Governance Committee met five times.

Compliance Committee

The Compliance Committee focuses on assisting the Board by providing oversight of regulatory, compliance, quality and legal matters and reviewing management’s implementation of the Company’s compliance program. The Compliance Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s website at www.endo.com, under “Investors/Media—Corporate Governance—Compliance Committee.”

13

Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Compliance Committee met four times.

With respect to the Audit Committee, the Board has determined that: (i) Messrs. Barberio, Cooke and Montague are “audit committee financial experts,” as defined by the SEC regulations, and each has the related financial management expertise within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and (ii) the current and expected chair and members are financially literate in accordance with the criteria established by the SEC and the Nasdaq.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table, together with the corresponding footnotes, sets forth, as of April 13, 2020, the name, address and holdings of each person, including any “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), known by Endo to be the “beneficial owner” of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares. The table also sets forth, as of April 13, 2020, the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each of the Company’s current directors and NEOs, and by all current directors and executive officers of the Company as a group. Footnote (1) below provides a brief explanation of what is meant by the term “beneficial ownership.”

15

Meeting Fees

Non-employee directors are entitled to receive a fee of $5,000 cash per trip to Ireland on Company business, other than for attending regularly scheduled meetings in Ireland.

Annual Equity Retainer

Effective with the 2020 compensation cycle, each non-employee director is entitled to receive an annual award of fully-vested ordinary shares having a grant date value equal to $175,000, which is reduced from the grant date value of annual awards granted during the 2019 compensation cycle of $240,000. The number of ordinary shares actually awarded to each non-employee director is calculated using a determined grant date fair market value (as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, but in no event shall the determined grant date fair market value be less than the closing price as of the date of the grant). Establishing the closing price as of the date of the annual grant as a base metric limits additional shares being issued beyond the number of shares that would have been issued based on the closing price on the date of grant. In acknowledgment of the Company’s share utilization priorities and applicable plan limits, all or a portion of the annual equity retainer may be issued in the form of cash, subject to the Compensation Committee’s discretion. Consistent with past practices, the annual stock award grant date for non-employee directors is on the first trading day after the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, with the annual stock award for the 2020 compensation cycle scheduled for grant on June 12, 2020. Pursuant to the Directors Stock Election Plan (described below), non-employee directors may also elect to receive their cash retainer fees in the form of Endo ordinary shares.

Directors Stock Election Plan

Under the Directors Stock Election Plan, non-employee directors may elect to have some or all of their cash retainer fees delivered in the form of Endo ordinary shares. The amount of shares will be determined by dividing the portion of cash fees elected to be received as shares by the grant date fair market value (as described above) on the day the payment would have otherwise been paid in cash.

Additional Arrangements

The Company provides Irish tax return preparation services for certain non-employee directors and pays for or provides (or reimburses directors for out-of-pocket costs incurred for) transportation, hotel, food and other incidental expenses related to attending Board and committee meetings or participating in director education programs and other director orientation or educational meetings.

Insurance and Indemnification

The Company has retained directors and officers indemnification insurance coverage. This insurance covers non-employee directors and officers individually.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Table

The following table provides information concerning the compensation of the Company’s non-employee directors paid during 2019 and includes any individual who served as a non-employee director of the Company at any time during 2019. Other than as described below, directors who were employees of the Company at any time during 2019 received no additional compensation for their services as directors or as members of Board committees. During the 2020 compensation cycle, Mr. Campanelli will receive certain compensation and benefits in respect of his combined service as Chairman of the Board and as an employee supporting an orderly succession plan and transitional process through December 31, 2020, as described below under the heading “CEO Performance & Compensation Determination Summary.” For a complete understanding of the table, please read the footnotes and the narrative disclosures that follow the table.

Proposal 2: Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers (Say-on-Pay)

We are seeking an advisory vote to approve our executive compensation for 2019. At our 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, a majority of shareholders voted to have a say-on-pay vote each year. As a result, on August 1, 2017, the Compensation Committee resolved that Endo will conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation annually at least until the next shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of such votes, which is scheduled to occur no later than June 2023.

Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires that we regularly seek a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders to approve the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in CD&A and in the other tabular and narrative executive compensation disclosures in this Proxy Statement. Since the required vote is advisory, the result of the vote is not binding upon the Board.

Although the say-on-pay vote is advisory and is not binding on our Board, our Compensation Committee will take into consideration the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions. At the 2019 Annual Meeting, approximately 95.5% of the votes cast favored our say-on-pay proposal.

In 2019, Mr. Montague, who serves as our Chair of the Compensation Committee, and certain members of our management team undertook efforts to engage with shareholders and reached out to holders of approximately 88% of Endo’s ordinary shares outstanding, following 2018 discussions with shareholders, as well as ISS and Glass Lewis. The 2018 conversations resulted in changes being implemented by the Compensation Committee in 2019, including:

Following the implementation of these changes, the Company’s 2019 shareholder engagement process resulted in the following feedback:

The feedback received from shareholders relating to encouraging management continuity as well as the Company’s stock utilization limitations are material concerns also shared by the Board. For Endo employees, including the Company’s NEOs, significant realized value opportunities have been lost over the past several years due to external factors outside of the employees’ control, including unfavorable media coverage and political scrutiny and litigation relating to prescription opioid medication abuse. The negative impact these factors had on Endo’s share price created significant continuity risk and share usage concerns for the Company that required immediate attention.

The actions implemented by the Compensation Committee as a result of this feedback were intended to directly address these concerns. First, continuity compensation arrangements were authorized by the Compensation Committee to increase realizable earnings for Endo’s most critical talent in an effort to help bridge the gap between current pay and competitive norms. In addition, the use of cash-based long-term incentives in 2020 was also authorized to address shareholder concerns regarding share usage and dilution resulting from Endo’s reduced share price, but also to serve as a separate mechanism to allow for predictable realizable value opportunities for all LTI-eligible employees. Both actions were required to maintain management continuity and increase the level of motivation for Endo employees, which in turn are key to driving the success of the business on an ongoing basis. The shareholder engagement process and resulting changes implemented as a result of the feedback received in 2019 are discussed further under the heading “Say-on-Pay and Shareholder Engagement Feedback” within the CD&A section.

As shareholders consider this year’s advisory vote, the CD&A section of this year’s proxy statement also provides detailed information on the CEO compensation arrangement for Blaise Coleman, as well as actions taken by the Company to focus on encouraging management continuity during a period of significant external challenges. In conjunction with the CEO transition arrangements implemented by the Compensation Committee, the actions described in the CD&A were intended to minimize the level of disruption for the Company, while maintaining continued focus on the Company’s vision, objectives and strategic priorities, as well as alignment with shareholder interests.

19

Vote Required

A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Endo’s named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors recommend a vote FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of Endo’s named executive officers as described in CD&A and in the other tabular and narrative executive compensation disclosures in this Proxy Statement.
