Mylan CEO says has other options, doesn't 'have to' buy Perrigo


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Generic drugmaker Mylan Inc 's Chief Executive Heather Bresch said Thursday acquiring Perrigo Co was not a must and it had other options besides Perrigo, which has rejected Mylan's $34 billion hostile offer.

    "There are alternatives to PERRIGO (PRGO.NY)(PRGO.NY) We believe Perrigo is the right first step. We like Perrigo, but we don't have to have Perrigo," Bresch said during a conference call with Wall Street analysts.

    "There are lots of assets out there," she said, that could compliment the company's business. "We've been actively looking at many targets out there."
