Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 14, 2004, Perrigo Company, a Michigan corporation (“Perrigo”), Perrigo Israel Opportunities Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), an Israeli company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Perrigo, and Agis Industries (1983) Ltd., an Israeli public company (“Agis”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Agis, with Agis continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Perrigo (the “Merger”). The Board of Directors of Perrigo has unanimously approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement and recommended that the Perrigo shareholders approve the issuance of shares of Perrigo common stock in the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, each ordinary share of Agis that is outstanding at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), other than shares held in treasury by Agis or owned by Perrigo or any wholly owned subsidiary of Agis or Perrigo, will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.8011 shares of common stock of Perrigo, and (ii) $14.93 in cash without interest. Each outstanding option to purchase Agis ordinary shares (an “Agis Stock Option”) will be assumed by Perrigo and converted at the Effective Time into an option to acquire Perrigo common stock. Each Agis Stock Option will become exercisable for that number of whole shares of Perrigo common stock equal to 1.6022 multiplied by the number of Agis ordinary shares subject to such Agis Stock Option and the exercise price for each Agis Stock Option shall be proportionately reduced. No fractional shares of Perrigo common stock will be issued as a result of the Merger.

The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including obtaining the approval of the Perrigo and Agis shareholders, the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and obtaining other customary regulatory approvals.

In connection with the Merger and concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Perrigo entered into (i) a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Moshe Arkin, (ii) a Nominating Agreement (the “Nominating Agreement”) with Mr. Arkin providing Mr. Arkin with the right to designate directors to the Board of Directors of Perrigo in the manner set forth therein at the time of the closing of the Merger, (iii) an Undertaking Agreement (the “Undertaking Agreement”) with Mr. Arkin, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Arkin has agreed to vote all Agis shares owned by him in favor of the Merger and (iv) a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with Mr. Arkin, pursuant to which Mr. Arkin has agreed to certain restrictions with respect to the sale or other disposition of Perrigo common stock received by him in the Merger. In addition, in connection with the Merger and concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Agis entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, a certain shareholder of Perrigo has agreed to vote all Perrigo shares owned by such shareholder in favor of the Merger.
