FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX) (the “Company” or “BD“), a leading global medical technology company, today announced the consideration payable in connection with its previously announced Tender Offers (as defined below) to purchase for cash up to $2,000,000,000 aggregate purchase price, excluding the applicable Accrued Interest (as defined below) (which, subject to applicable law, may be increased or decreased in the Company’s sole discretion, the “Aggregate Offer Cap“) of its (i) 6.700% Senior Notes due 2026, (ii) 7.000% Senior Debentures due 2027, (iii) 6.700% Senior Debentures due 2028, (iv) 6.000% Senior Notes due 2039, (v) 4.875% Senior Notes due 2044, (vi) 4.669% Senior Notes due 2047, (vii) 5.000% Senior Notes due 2040, (viii) 4.685% Senior Notes due 2044 (the “4.685% Senior Notes“), (ix) 5.081% Senior Notes due 2029, (x) 3.794% Senior Notes due 2050, (xi) 4.874% Senior Notes due 2029, (xii) 4.693% Senior Notes due 2028, (xiii) 3.700% Senior Notes due 2027, (xiv) 5.110% Senior Notes due 2034, and (xv) 4.298% Senior Notes due 2032 (collectively, the “Securities” and each a “series“), in the order of priority set forth in the table below (each, an “Acceptance Priority Level“), subject to an aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities that does not exceed the applicable Offer SubCap, if any, set forth in the table below (each, an “Offer SubCap“) (collectively, the “Tender Offers“); provided that the Company will only accept for purchase up to an aggregate purchase price, excluding the applicable Accrued Interest, of all series of Securities that does not exceed the Aggregate Offer Cap.

The table below sets forth the Total Consideration and aggregate principal amount accepted for purchase for each series of Securities.

The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated February 10, 2026, as amended and supplemented by the Company’s press release on February 25, 2026 (as so amended, the “Offer to Purchase“) announcing the upsizing of the Offer SubCap with respect to the 4.685% Senior Notes and the Aggregate Offer Cap. The Company refers investors to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offers.

The “Total Consideration” listed in the table above per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities was determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 25, 2026. Only holders of Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Securities at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2026 (the “Early Tender Date“) are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for Securities accepted for purchase. As previously announced, the Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for the Securities that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on February 27, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date“). Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest“).

As previously disclosed in the Offer to Purchase, because the aggregate purchase price, excluding the applicable Accrued Interest, of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Offer Cap, the Company will accept for purchase the 3.794% Senior Notes due 2050 on a prorated basis as set forth in the table above. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, Securities tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder’s account. Since the Tender Offers are fully subscribed at the Early Tender Date, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date on a subsequent settlement date.
