Johnson & Johnson Announces Final Results of Exchange Offer and Finalizes Separation of Kenvue Inc.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced the final results of its previously announced offer to its shareholders to exchange their shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock for shares of Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) (“Kenvue”) common stock owned by Johnson & Johnson. The exchange offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on August 18, 2023.

Pursuant to the exchange offer, Johnson & Johnson has accepted 190,955,436 shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock in exchange for 1,533,830,450 shares of Kenvue common stock.

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, Johnson & Johnson accepted only a portion of the shares of its common stock that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered. Shareholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock, or an "odd-lot," who validly tendered all of their shares, were not subject to proration, in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. All shares validly tendered by eligible "odd-lot" shareholders were accepted. The final proration factor of 23.231832% was applied to all other validly tendered shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock to determine the number of such shares that were accepted. Following completion of the exchange offer, Johnson & Johnson retains approximately 9.5% of the outstanding shares of Kenvue common stock.

“Johnson & Johnson’s exclusive focus on transformational Pharmaceutical and MedTech solutions enables us to innovate across the full spectrum of healthcare in ways that no other company can,” said Joaquin Duato, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson & Johnson. “We are proud of the hard work that has led us to this historic milestone which brings significant value to shareholders and positions Johnson & Johnson to be even more agile, focused and competitive.”

Based on the final count by the exchange agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the final results of the exchange offer are as follows:

  • Total number of shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn: 800,449,685
  • Shares tendered that were subject to proration: 793,920,159
  • "Odd-lot" shares tendered that were not subject to proration: 6,529,526
  • Total number of shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock accepted: 190,955,436

Shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock tendered but not accepted for exchange will be returned to the tendering shareholders in book-entry form promptly. In addition, the exchange agent will promptly credit shares of Kenvue common stock for distribution in the exchange offer in book-entry form to accounts maintained by the Kenvue transfer agent for tendering shareholders whose shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock were accepted in the exchange offer. Checks in lieu of fractional shares of Kenvue common stock will be delivered after the exchange agent has aggregated all fractional shares and sold them in the open market.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as dealer managers for the exchange offer.
