Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Award Treatment at Final Separation for Johnson & Johnson Employees In May 2023, Kenvue Inc. (Kenvue) completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock. Johnson & Johnson (J&J) recently announced that it will initiate an exchange offer to divest its controlling interest in Kenvue. Once the exchange offer is complete, referred to as the “final separation”, J&J will no longer be the controlling shareholder of Kenvue, and Kenvue will operate as a separate, independent public company. What will happen to my LTI awards after the closing of the exchange offer? • Due to the structure of this next step in the separation, we currently anticipate that no adjustments will be made to the number or type of J&J LTI awards you have been granted. o If you have been granted Performance Share Units (PSUs), the: ▪ EPS goals applicable to the PSUs will be adjusted to remove the impact of earnings from the Consumer Health segment. ▪ Peer companies used in the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) metric will also be adjusted to reflect the final separation of the Consumer Health segment from J&J. • The above treatment is subject to you remaining as a J&J employee through the completion of the final separation. o If you are a Kenvue employee or become a conveying Kenvue employee prior to the final separation, your LTI awards will be converted to Kenvue LTI awards. If this applies to you, refer to “Long-Term Incentive Award Treatment at Final Separation for Kenvue Employees” for additional information. o If your employment at J&J terminates prior to the final separation date, the termination provisions of your LTI awards (to the extent they remain outstanding and as set forth in your award agreement) will continue to apply. • Please note that any shares of J&J common stock that you have received and continue to hold as a result of the vesting of RSUs and/or PSUs, or from the exercise of your vested stock options, will be eligible for the exchange offer. • In the event the structure of the final separation changes or J&J initiates a spin-off of a portion of its Kenvue shares to J&J shareholders, the Board may approve further adjustments to J&J LTI awards to maintain the economic value of your awards. o In this case, the number of any outstanding Restricted Share Units (RSUs), stock options, and/or PSUs you may hold, and the exercise prices of your stock options, would be adjusted to preserve their economic value. o More information will be provided to you later if such an adjustment occurs. Who will be the administrative services provider of the J&J LTI plan? • Fidelity will continue to be the administrative services provider for the J&J LTI plan following the final separation. Do I need to take any action? • No. You do not need to take any additional actions related to your J&J LTI awards. • If you have additional questions, please contact AskGS.
