JOHNSON & JOHNSON SAVINGS PLAN JOHNSON & JOHNSON RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Johnson & Johnson is offering its shareholders the opportunity to exchange shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock for shares of Kenvue Inc. common stock, subject to the terms of the exchange offer described in the Prospectus dated July 24, 2023. Please see below for a brief description of the impact of the exchange offer on participants in the Johnson & Johnson Savings Plan and the Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plans”) who are invested in the Johnson & Johnson stock funds in the Plans (the “J&J Stock Funds”). Eligibility • If you are a Plan participant who was invested in the J&J Stock Funds as of July 19, 2023, you are eligible to participate in the exchange offer, as described in the Notice to Participants dated July 24, 2023, and the Prospectus. • Participation in the exchange offer is completely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate, no action is required. • If you are eligible to participate in the exchange offer, please refer to the Notice to Participants, Prospectus and Direction Forms that were mailed to your address on file for more information. These documents are expected to be received by eligible Plan participants during the week of July 31, 2023. The Direction Forms contain information that is required for you to submit an election to participate in the exchange offer; accordingly, you will not be able to submit an election until you have received these. Participation in the Exchange Offer Through the Plans • If you wish to participate in the exchange offer through the Plans (and are eligible to do so), you must submit an election in accordance with the instructions and by the deadline set forth in the Notice to Participants. Elections may be submitted online or by mail. • If you invest in more than one J&J Stock Fund in the Plans, you must submit a separate election for each J&J Stock Fund for which you wish to participate. Kenvue Stock Funds • If you submit a timely election to exchange J&J Stock Fund units and the exchange offer is completed, you will receive units in new Kenvue stock funds that will be established in the Plans after the exchange offer is completed. • The Kenvue stock funds are expected to remain in the Plans for only a short period of time (expected to be approximately nine months). After this period is over, the Kenvue stock funds will be liquidated. The Kenvue stock funds will not accept new contributions or transfers into the funds following the exchange offer. • You may make transfers out of the Kenvue stock funds to any of the Plans’ other investment funds at any time, subject to the terms of the Plans (including the 20% cap that applies to new transfers or contributions into the J&J Stock Funds). Blackout Period • If you elect to participate in the exchange offer through the Plans, your Plan account will be restricted during a blackout period which will begin immediately following the deadline to submit participation elections under the Plans. During the blackout period you will not be permitted to take a loan, hardship withdrawal or distribution from the Plans or make transfers out of the J&J Stock Funds. • If you do not elect to participate in the exchange offer, the blackout period will not affect you. • You may find out when restrictions have been lifted and when the Blackout Period has ended by visiting the For Your Benefit website.
