ITEM 5. Other Events
The Perrigo Company announced that it has entered into settlement agreements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company will recognize a pre-tax gain
of $3.1 million. The effect on net income and earnings per share will be
approximately $2.0 million and $.03, respectively. The payments will be included
