Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 1, 2023 (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), all outstanding shares of 5.50% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of Boston Scientific Corporation (the “Company”) automatically converted into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock. No action by the holders of Preferred Stock was required in connection with the mandatory conversion. The conversion rate for each share of Preferred Stock was 2.3834 shares of Common Stock. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock. An aggregate of approximately 24 million shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock issued to holders of Preferred Stock that elected to convert prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, were issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. Following the mandatory conversion of the Preferred Stock, there were no outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

In connection with the mandatory conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of the conversion and requested that the NYSE file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a notification on Form 25 to report the delisting of the Preferred Stock from the NYSE and to deregister the Preferred Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
