ITEM 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 30, 2001, The Perrigo Company held its Annual Shareholders' Meeting
at the Griswold Auditorium, Allegan, Michigan.

The Annual Shareholders' Meeting slides presented are Exhibit 99.

Certain statements in these slides are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. Please see the "Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" on pages 24 - 29 of the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001 for a discussion of certain important
factors that relate to forward-looking statements contained in these slides. In
addition, the Company's future results may be affected by the impact of events
flowing from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
