Kenvue Final Separation & Exchange Offer Launch – Leader Talking Points
The following talking points are for internal use only. They are intended to help answer employee questions about the announcement. Employee questions related to their LTI awards, savings plans, or common stock should be directed to the appropriate resources listed below.
Johnson & Johnson has announced its intent to split-off at least 80.1% of the shares of Kenvue through an exchange offer. As a reminder, Johnson & Johnson currently holds approximately 89.6% of Kenvue’s common stock, and therefore the majority of voting shares.
Through this exchange offer, Johnson & Johnson shareholders can choose to exchange all, some, or none of their Johnson & Johnson common stock for shares of Kenvue common stock, subject to the terms of the offer.
If the exchange offer is consummated, Johnson & Johnson will no longer be the majority shareholder of Kenvue, and Kenvue will be a separate and independent company.
We believe that now is the right time to distribute our Kenvue shares and are confident that a split-off is the right path forward to achieve this separation and deliver value to shareholders.
In connection with this announcement, Johnson & Johnson filed related materials with the SEC. Kenvue has also filed a Form S-4 with the SEC, which has additional information about Kenvue and the exchange offer.
I’d like to emphasize that the decision to participate in the exchange offer is voluntary. No action is necessary for Johnson & Johnson shareholders who choose not to participate.
Johnson & Johnson, Kenvue or any respective agents are not making any recommendation as to whether or not employees should participate in the exchange offer.
If you have any questions regarding your stock or participation in the exchange offer, please go to Our Next Step for more information. If you have additional questions, you may contact:

Thank you for all of your continued hard work. Your focus and commitment to our mission has not gone unnoticed.



We’ll continue to keep you informed as we work toward the final stages of the separation.
