Background

Embecta ("embecta" or the "Company") is a leading global medical device company focused on providing solutions to improve the health and well-being of people living with diabetes. The Company has a broad portfolio of marketed products, including a variety of pen needles, syringes and safety devices, which are complemented by proprietary digital applications designed to assist people with managing their diabetes. The Company primarily sells products to wholesalers and distributors, which in turn sell such products to customers in primarily retail and institutional channels.

On April 1, 2022, embecta and Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, BD agreed to spin off its diabetes care business ("Diabetes Care Business") into embecta, a new, publicly traded company (the "Separation").

The Separation occurred by means of a pro-rata distribution of all of embecta’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of one share of embecta common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every five shares of BD common stock, par value $1.00 per share, held as of the close of business on March 22, 2022, the record date for the distribution. embecta is now a standalone publicly traded company and, on April 1, 2022, regular-way trading of embecta common stock commenced on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "EMBC".

In connection with the Separation, BD and embecta entered into various agreements to provide a framework for the relationship between BD and embecta after the Separation, including, but not limited to, a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a cannula supply agreement, contract manufacturing agreements, an intellectual property matters agreement, a logistics services agreement, distribution agreements, factoring and receivables agreements, local support and service agreements and other transaction documents.
