Medtronic PLC (MDT) filed a Form 8K - Regulation FD Disclosure -
with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23,
2015.
On March 23, 2015, Medtronic plc, a public limited company
organized under the laws of Ireland (the "Company"), filed with the
Irish Companies Registration Office, pursuant to certain
requirements of the Irish Companies (Amendment) Act 1983, the
Initial Accounts of the Company, consisting of certain
unconsolidated financial information of the Company for the period
from June 12, 2014 (the Company's initial date of incorporation) to
February 27, 2015. The Initial Accounts of the Company comprise the
profit and loss account, the balance sheet and related notes
(collectively, the "Initial Accounts"), which are attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. Unlike the
Company's consolidated financial statements included in the
Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), which present financial information
on a consolidated basis with the Company's subsidiaries and are
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, the Initial Accounts provide
certain unconsolidated Company-only financial information and have
been prepared in accordance with accounting standards issued by the
Financial Reporting Council and promulgated by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants in Ireland (Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice in Ireland). Therefore, the information in this Item 7.01,
including Exhibit 99.1, may not be comparable to, but should be
read in conjunction with, the information contained in the
Company's filings under the Exchange Act.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is
being furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes
of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the
liability of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed to
be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or
other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise stated in that filing. The
Company does not undertake any obligation to update the information
contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1.
