 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Transactions are a Reverse Morris Trust acquisition structure, which generally involves
the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> of the issued and outstanding common stock of a subsidiary (here, SpinCo) from its ultimate parent company (here, BD) to such ultimate parent company&#8217;s shareholders, and, pursuant to the
same plan, the subsequent merger or other combination of such subsidiary (here, SpinCo) with a third party (here, Merger Sub, a subsidiary of Waters). The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> of the subsidiary stock to the ultimate
parent company shareholders is intended to qualify as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> transaction under Section&nbsp;355 and related provisions of the Code. The subsequent merger of the distributed subsidiary with the acquiring
third party is intended to qualify as a generally <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> reorganization under Section&nbsp;368 of the Code. Such a transaction can qualify as generally <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> for
U.S. federal income tax purposes for the ultimate parent company group, the ultimate parent company&#8217;s shareholders and the acquiring third party&#8217;s shareholders if the transaction structure meets all applicable requirements. Such
requirements include that, in order for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> to qualify as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> to the ultimate parent company (though not a prerequisite for
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> treatment to the parent company&#8217;s shareholders), the ultimate parent company shareholders own, for tax purposes, more than 50% of the stock of the combined entity immediately after the merger.
Therefore, in order to meet all applicable requirements of the Code, BD shareholders must own, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, more than 50% of the Waters Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Merger. However, prior to any
adjustments as described in more detail under &#8220;The Transactions&#8212;Calculation and Adjustments to the Exchange Ratio; Amount of Waters Special Dividend,&#8221; the Exchange Ratio is designed to result in the issued and outstanding shares of
Waters Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, immediately following the Merger, being owned approximately 39.2% by the former holders of SpinCo Common Stock (in their capacity as such) and approximately 60.8% by the Waters shareholders immediately
prior to the Merger (in their capacity as such). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As further explained below under &#8220;Q: What is the IRS Ruling and what does that
process entail?&#8221;, the parties agreed to condition the Transactions on (i)&nbsp;BD&#8217;s receipt of the IRS Ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BD and (ii)&nbsp;the IRS Ruling continuing to be valid and in full force and
effect at the Closing. BD expects that the IRS Ruling, if received, will permit BD to take into account the number of shares of BD Common Stock and Waters Common Stock owned by certain categories of investors who are both BD shareholders and Waters
shareholders in determining the number of shares of Waters Common Stock that BD shareholders must receive to not result in gain imposed under Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code with respect to the Distribution, as determined in accordance with the
provisions of the Merger Agreement and the contents of the IRS Ruling. The former shares of SpinCo Common Stock will be converted into between approximately 39.2% to 50.5% of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock immediately following the
Merger, depending on the Exchange Ratio, and any adjustments thereto as provided in the Merger Agreement. Prior to giving effect to any of the adjustments provided in the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is equal to (a)&nbsp;the Fully Diluted
SpinCo Shares<I>&nbsp;minus</I>&nbsp;the SpinCo Make Whole Awards<I></I><I>&nbsp;divided by</I>&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;the number of outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock immediately following the Distribution, other than any shares of SpinCo Common
Stock that are distributed in the Distribution to a subsidiary of BD that is a member of the BD Group, which, in accordance with the Separation Agreement, will be acquired by BD for cash, and subsequently transferred by BD to SpinCo for no
consideration and will then be cancelled and cease to be outstanding, in each case, prior to the Merger. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For information about the

certain aspects of the Separation, Contribution and Distribution, including matters relating to the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted as Overlap Shareholders for purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio in the Merger. For
purposes of determining whether one or more persons will acquire directly or indirectly, equity representing a 50% or greater interest in BD or SpinCo for purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code, which, if applicable because such an acquisition
occurred, could cause the Distribution to be taxable to BD, Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code provides that an acquisition of interests in SpinCo is not taken into account as an acquisition of interests for these purposes to the extent that any
Overlap Shareholder&#8217;s ownership percentage does not decrease as a result of the Merger. However, no formal guidance exists regarding the manner in which the Overlap Shareholders may be identified or how such Overlap Shareholders&#8217;
ownership percentages may be determined for these purposes. Absent receipt of the IRS Ruling, BD and Waters will not be able to make the assumptions about beneficial ownership needed to treat specified investors as Overlap Shareholders (or to
determine the amount of overlapping shareholdings). In addition to a ruling on Overlap Shareholders, the IRS Ruling, if granted, is expected to provide rulings on a variety of U.S. federal income taxation consequences of the Transactions, including
consequences relating to basis, holding periods and nonrecognition of gain or loss. The Merger Agreement provides that, unless the parties otherwise agree, the Closing will not occur earlier than the third business day following the date on which
the applicable closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement have been met. One such condition to Closing is that BD has received the IRS Ruling in form and in substance reasonably satisfactory to BD and that the IRS Ruling continues to be
valid and in full force and effect at the Closing. Furthermore, the IRS Ruling, if received, will only describe the time, manner and methodology for measuring Overlap Shareholders and may be subject to varying interpretations. The actual
determination and calculation of Overlap Shareholders will be made by Waters, BD and their respective advisors based on the IRS Ruling, but no assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with these determinations or calculations. If the IRS were
to determine that the Merger, as a result of an error in the determination of Overlap Shareholders, or other transactions, either before or after the Merger, resulted in one or more persons acquiring directly or indirectly a 50% or greater interest
in BD Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock and were part of a plan or series of related transactions that included the Distribution, such determination could result in significant tax to BD. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>

Merger Agreement and described in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Merger Agreement provides that, prior to the Closing, the Waters Board will declare a special dividend pro rata to the
holders of Waters Common Stock as of a record date prior to the Closing. The amount of the Waters Special Dividend will depend in part on the number of shares of Waters Common Stock to be issued to BD shareholders as a result of the adjustment to

Ratio will depend on the contents of the IRS Ruling. As such, the amount of the Waters Special Dividend will not be known at the time of the Special Meeting, as described in more detail under &#8220;The Transactions&#8212;Calculation and Adjustments

record date for the Waters Special Dividend will be prior to the Effective Time. The receipt of the Waters Special Dividend will generally be taxable to Waters shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For information related to the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Waters Special Dividend to U.S. and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holders of Waters Common Stock, see the section entitled &#8220;U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the

making the Reverse Morris Trust structure economically more appealing than alternative transaction structures. Further, the parties determined that a Reverse Morris Trust transaction that
included the counting of Overlap Shares for purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code, for purposes of determining how many shares would be received by former shareholders of SpinCo Common Stock prior to the Merger, was preferable because it is
expected to permit Waters to issue fewer shares of its common stock in the Merger and therefore pay a smaller special dividend to Waters shareholders. For more information about Waters and BD&#8217;s reasons for the Transactions, see the section

The transactions contemplated by the agreements provide for the separation of the BDS Business from BD, the distribution of SpinCo Common Stock to BD shareholders and the subsequent merger of Merger Sub with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving as
a wholly owned subsidiary of Waters. As a result of and immediately following these transactions, it is expected that the shares of SpinCo Common Stock will be converted into approximately 39.2% of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock
immediately following the Merger. However, in order to preserve the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free&nbsp;nature</FONT> of the Distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes,&nbsp;the Merger Agreement provides that the Exchange Ratio
will be adjusted if necessary in certain circumstances such that the number of shares of Waters Common Stock issued in the Merger to shareholders of SpinCo will be increased. In the event that the Exchange Ratio is adjusted upward, Waters will pay
the Waters Special Dividend and, depending on the size of the adjustment of the Exchange Ratio, the SpinCo Cash Distribution could be decreased, in each case, to account for the value of the additional shares issued to BD&#8217;s shareholders (as
required pursuant to the Merger Agreement). BD shareholders will retain their shares of BD Common Stock. In order to effect the Transactions, Waters, Merger Sub, BD and SpinCo entered into the Merger Agreement and Waters, BD and SpinCo entered into
the Separation Agreement. In addition, Waters, BD, SpinCo or their respective affiliates will enter into a series of ancillary agreements in connection with the Transactions. </P>

Overlap Shares for all Overlap Shareholders, being less than the Threshold Percentage of all shares of Waters Common Stock outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Merger, then the Exchange Ratio will be increased to result in the

applicable, relating to the Transactions. Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions under the Merger Agreement, including, among others, (i)&nbsp;the accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants, subject
to certain customary exceptions; (ii)&nbsp;the approval by Waters&#8217; shareholders of the issuance of shares of Waters Common Stock pursuant to the Merger; (iii)&nbsp;the effectiveness of registration statements to be filed by Waters and SpinCo
with the SEC in connection with the Transactions; (iv)&nbsp;the absence of any law restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transfer of certain assets and liabilities related to the Separation, the Distribution or the
Merger; (v)&nbsp;the consummation of the Separation, the Distribution and related Transactions; (vi)&nbsp;the occurrence of the SpinCo Cash Distribution; (vii)&nbsp;the receipt of the IRS Ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BD,
which shall continue to be valid and in full force and effect as of the Closing; (viii)&nbsp;the receipt of certain opinions of counsel as to tax matters pertaining to the Transactions; (ix)&nbsp;the receipt of certain U.S. and international
regulatory approvals; and (x)&nbsp;the approval of the NYSE of the listing of the newly issued shares of Waters Common Stock in the Merger. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Transactions will be consummated on the expected terms, in
accordance with Waters&#8217; anticipated timeline, or at all. Certain of these conditions, including conditions relating to the IRS Ruling, certain regulatory approvals, and the requirement for approval by Waters&#8217; shareholders, would not have
been required had BD selected an alternative transaction structure such as a spin-off or, in some cases, a sale to a third-party buyer for cash rather than pursuing a Reverse Morris Trust transaction structure, which may carry increased legal and
regulatory complexity relative to alternative transaction structures. Any delay in consummation of the Transactions could result in increased transaction costs and professional fees. Additionally, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain
circumstances prior to the consummation of the Transactions, Waters will be required to pay BD a termination fee of $733.0&nbsp;million. BD is not required to pay a termination fee under the Merger Agreement. </P>

fees and expenses related to the Transactions and Waters may need to obtain debt financing to finance the Waters Special Dividend (if it becomes necessary to pay such dividend to the Waters shareholders). Although SpinCo has entered into the Amended
and Restated SpinCo Term Loan Commitment Letter with certain financial institutions and Waters has entered into the Waters Commitment Letter with a financial institution, the obligations of the lenders under the Amended and Restated SpinCo Term Loan
Commitment Letter and the Waters Commitment Letter are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, including, among others, the absence of any material adverse effect on SpinCo and Waters, respectively. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or, if not satisfied, waived by the lenders. Additionally, SpinCo expects that SpinCo will reduce commitments under the Amended and Restated SpinCo Term Loan Commitment Letter by incurring the
Permanent SpinCo Financing on or prior to the date of the SpinCo Cash Distribution and Waters expects that Waters may reduce commitments under the Waters Bridge Facility by incurring indebtedness under the Permanent Waters Financing on or prior to
the payment date of the Waters Special Dividend. There can be no assurance regarding if or when the Permanent SpinCo Financing and/or the Permanent Waters Financing will be consummated or the terms of the Permanent SpinCo Financing or the Permanent
Waters Financing. Furthermore, increased volatility and disruptions in the U.S. and global financial markets may make it more difficult for SpinCo and/or Waters to obtain financing or increase the cost of obtaining financing. If SpinCo and Waters
are not able to obtain financing for the SpinCo Cash Distribution and the Waters Special Dividend (if it becomes necessary to pay such dividend to the Waters shareholders) on commercially reasonable terms, it could prevent the completion of the

alternative relationships with third parties or seek to alter their present business relationships with Waters. Parties with whom Waters otherwise may have sought to establish business relationships may seek alternative relationships with third

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> nature of the Distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Exchange Ratio may be adjusted and increased, if necessary, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement. In the event that the Exchange Ratio is adjusted upwards, Waters may declare and pay the Waters Special Dividend to the Waters shareholders and/or the SpinCo Cash Distribution may be decreased to account for the value of the additional
shares of Waters Common Stock issued to Waters&#8217; shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The adjustment of the Exchange Ratio will depend, among other things, on the nature
and extent of shareholders who may be counted as Overlap Shareholders of Waters and SpinCo. In connection with the Transactions, BD intends to seek the IRS Ruling with respect to, among other things, the nature and extent of shareholders who may be
counted as Overlap Shareholders. Therefore, the final Exchange Ratio will depend on the contents of the IRS Ruling and the shareholdings by shareholders that own shares in both Waters and SpinCo. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The extent of Waters&#8217; and SpinCo&#8217;s Overlap Shareholders is outside of Waters&#8217; and SpinCo&#8217;s control and will not be known until shortly

or assurance that the IRS Ruling will be received. As a result, Waters, SpinCo and BD can offer no assurance regarding the number of shares of Waters Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the Transactions. However, based on the existing
level of shareholder overlap (and assuming the overlap methodology applies substantially as requested in the IRS Ruling request), the adjustments to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the mechanism set forth in the Merger Agreement and described in this
proxy statement/prospectus are not expected to be triggered and the Waters Special Dividend is not anticipated to be declared or to be paid. Any issuance of shares of Waters Common Stock to shareholders of SpinCo will dilute the ownership and voting

following completion of the Merger may be less than Waters shareholders anticipated when they considered the Share Issuance Proposal. Waters may not be permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement because of changes in the value of the BDS Business

factual matters and certain covenants made by Waters, SpinCo and BD. The failure of any factual representation, assumption or covenant to be true, correct and complete in all material respects could adversely affect the validity of the opinion of
counsel. An opinion of counsel represents counsel&#8217;s best legal judgment, is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with the opinion. In addition, the opinion will be based on current law, and cannot be

within the period beginning two years before the Distribution and ending two years after the Distribution are presumed to be a part of such plan, although BD and Waters may be able to rebut that presumption. BD will request the IRS Ruling with
respect to certain tax aspects of the Transactions, including matters relating to the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted for tax purposes as Overlap Shareholders for purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio in the Merger
Agreement. If the IRS Ruling is not received, BD and Waters will not be able to rely on ownership by Overlap Shareholders for purposes of such a determination. The Merger Agreement provides that the number of shares of Waters Common Stock that may
be issued in the Merger is subject to increase at the Closing such that the former shareholders of SpinCo Common Stock (taking into account the Overlap Shareholders) own at least the Threshold Percentage of the outstanding Waters Common Stock for
purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code immediately following the Closing. The continuing validity of the IRS Ruling will be subject to the accuracy of factual representations and assumptions made in the ruling request. Moreover, the IRS Ruling,
if received, is expected to only describe the time, manner and methodology for measuring Overlap Shareholders and may be subject to varying interpretations. The actual determination and calculation of Overlap Shareholders will be made by Waters, BD

Overlap Shareholders, or other acquisitions of SpinCo, BD or Waters capital stock, either before or after the Distribution, resulted in a 50% or greater change in ownership and were part of a plan or series of related transactions that included the
Distribution, such determination could result in significant tax to BD. In certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, under the Tax Matters Agreement, SpinCo (then a subsidiary of Waters) is required to indemnify BD for 100% of the

sales in China in recent years are a result of lower customer demand for Waters&#8217; products across all customer classes, driven by multiple factors. Such factors include, among other things, a decline in the economic conditions in China, trade
tensions and tariffs between the U.S. and China and their impact on the combined company&#8217;s business and particularly customers&#8217; purchasing decisions, increased competition from local and international competitors in China, the Chinese
government&#8217;s ongoing tightening of restrictions on procurement by government-funded customers, and other regulatory and compliance challenges and uncertainties in the Chinese market, all of which had, and may continue to have, an adverse
effect on the combined company&#8217;s business and operations in China. For example, in March 2024, Waters had a reduction in workforce that impacted approximately 2% of its employees, primarily in China, due to the significant decline in sales
resulting from lower customer demand. In 2024, the BDS Business generated $337.0&nbsp;million of total net sales from China, which were comparable to total net sales of $336.0&nbsp;million in 2023. </P>

maintains control over China&#8217;s economic growth through setting monetary policy and determining treatment of particular industries or companies. The U.S. government has called for substantial changes to foreign trade policy with China and has
recently raised, and has proposed to further raise in the future, tariffs on several Chinese goods. China has retaliated with increased tariffs on U.S. goods, which may increase the combined company&#8217;s cost of doing business in China. Any
further changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, including China, resulting in trade wars and increased costs for goods imported into the U.S. and impacting the combined company&#8217;s ability to sell
its products in China and other affected countries. Accordingly, the combined company&#8217;s financial position or results of operations can be adversely influenced by political, economic, legal, compliance, social and business conditions in China

U.S. government agencies, such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and similar agencies in other countries. Other customers, such as pharmaceutical companies, may self-fund but will have budgets affected by macro-economic events. The level of
government funding of research and development may vary significantly due to factors that can be difficult to forecast, including changes in spending authorizations and budgetary priorities, and the BDS Business believes that it was negatively
impacted by a reduction in government funding to customers of the BDS Business in fiscal year 2025. The availability of governmental research funding has been and may in the future be adversely affected by economic conditions and governmental

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The sale of the combined company&#8217;s products and services, as well as access to them, depends, in part, on the healthcare funding landscape and how
healthcare providers and facilities are reimbursed by public and private payers. Coverage policies and reimbursement levels can vary across the payer community globally, regionally, and locally, and may affect which products customers purchase, the
market acceptance rate for new technologies and the prices customers are willing to pay for those products in a particular jurisdiction. In addition, third-party payers are increasingly challenging the reimbursement models and prices charged for
medical products and services. Any changes to the reimbursement landscape, or adverse decisions relating to the combined company&#8217;s products by administrators of these systems could significantly reduce reimbursement for procedures using the
combined company&#8217;s products or result in denial of reimbursement for those products, which could adversely affect customer demand, or the price customers are willing to pay for such products. </P>

obtaining such revenue. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A global trend towards limiting growth of healthcare costs may also put industry-wide pressure on the combined
company&#8217;s products that are subject to reimbursement. In the U.S., these include value-based purchasing, group purchasing organizations and managed care arrangements. Governments in China and other countries continue to use various mechanisms
to control healthcare expenditures, including increased use of competitive bidding and tenders, price regulation (such as volume-based procurement programs), government imposed payback provisions, and changes in reimbursement practices and policies
on average selling prices for the combined company&#8217;s products, which unfavorably impact the combined company&#8217;s revenues and may continue to impact the combined company&#8217;s results of operations in certain countries. In addition,
changes in regulatory enforcement priorities and efforts by governments in countries in which the combined company does business, including China, may increase compliance and monitoring costs that could have an adverse impact on the combined
company&#8217;s business. Group purchasing organizations and integrated health delivery networks have also served to concentrate purchasing decisions for some customers, which has led to downward pricing pressures. Further consolidation in the
industry could intensify competition and exert additional pressure on the demand for and prices of the combined company&#8217;s products. </P>

serves, and visibility into the combined company&#8217;s markets can be limited (particularly for markets into which it sells through distribution). The combined company&#8217;s quarterly sales and profits depend substantially on the volume and
timing of orders received during the quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Any decline or lower than expected growth in the combined company&#8217;s served markets can diminish demand for the combined company&#8217;s products and services and
adversely affect the combined company&#8217;s business and financial statements. Certain of the combined company&#8217;s businesses operate in industries that experience seasonality, or industries that have experienced and may continue to experience
periodic, cyclical downturns. For example, demand for the combined company&#8217;s flu diagnostics products in the Diagnostic Systems business unit is typically heavier in anticipation of and during respiratory season, and in the past has been
impacted and, in the future, will be impacted by the degree of severity of the flu season and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> as well as by outbreaks of other infectious diseases. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in certain of the combined company&#8217;s businesses demand depends on customers&#8217; capital spending budgets, government funding policies

the combined company&#8217;s business. The premature use of inadequate AI or the use of deficient AI, including flawed or biased algorithms, could harm the combined company&#8217;s brand, reputation or competitive advantage or result in regulatory

system will be integral to its ability to accurately and efficiently maintain its books and records, record transactions, coordinate resource allocation between its manufacturing facilities across the globe, provide critical information to its
management, and prepare its financial statements. In December 2024, the Waters Board approved the implementation of a new worldwide ERP system, which is expected to provide enhanced operating efficiencies, process alignment, information sharing, and
scalability compared to Waters&#8217; existing ERP system. While implementation of the new ERP system is currently underway for Waters, the full transition of the combined company to the new ERP system is expected to be a multi-year process.
Transitioning from the existing ERP system to the new ERP system has required from Waters and will require from the combined company significant investment of human and financial resources, and the combined company may experience significant
increases to inherent costs and risks associated with such a transition, including capital expenditures, additional operating expenses, demands on management time and other risks and costs of delays or potential challenges, such as the cost of

competitive advantages to the combined company. Additionally, there could be successful claims against the combined company by third-party patent holders with respect to certain products that may infringe the intellectual property rights of such
third parties. If a claim relating to intellectual property is asserted against the combined company or third parties hold pending or issued patents that relate to the combined company&#8217;s products or technology, the combined company may seek
licenses to such intellectual property or challenge those patents. However, the combined company may be unable to obtain these licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and the challenge of the patents may be unsuccessful. The combined

Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to the combined company&#8217;s business, inability to effectively integrate the BDS Business with Waters, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of assets, changes in
the structure of the combined company&#8217;s business, divestitures, market capitalization declines or increases in associated discount rates can impair the combined company&#8217;s goodwill and other intangible assets. Any charges relating to such

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The future success of the combined company will depend, in part, upon the continued service of certain executive officers and other key management and
technical personnel (such as research and development, technical sales and support, field service, precision chemistry and instrument manufacturing, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, finance, and global marketing), and on the combined
company&#8217;s ability to continue to identify, attract, retain and motivate them. The skills, experience and industry contacts of the combined company&#8217;s senior management team are expected to significantly benefit its operations and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Implementing the combined company&#8217;s business strategy requires specialized engineering and other talent, as it is expected that the combined company
revenues will be highly dependent on technological and product innovations. The market for employees in the combined company&#8217;s industries is extremely competitive, and competitors for talent, particularly engineering talent, increasingly
attempt to hire, and to varying degrees have been successful in hiring, employees of Waters and the BDS Business. A number of such competitors for talent may be significantly larger than the combined company and may be able to offer compensation in
excess of what the combined company is expected to be able to offer. Additionally, macroeconomic conditions, including wage inflation, could have a material impact on the combined company&#8217;s ability to attract and retain talent, its turnover
rate and the cost of operating its business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The combined company may make organizational changes to better align its resources with its growth and
innovation strategies following the completion of the Transactions, which may lead to future workforce reductions. If implemented, such future workforce reductions may not have the desired impact on the combined company&#8217;s cost-saving
initiatives, as they could adversely affect productivity, morale, customer relationships, product quality, level of technical expertise, innovation capabilities and ability to execute strategic plans. Moreover, such workforce reductions could expose
the combined company to potential litigation, severance costs, reputational damage and loss of key personnel. If the combined company is unable to manage the effects of such workforce reductions or achieve the expected benefits from them, the
combined company&#8217;s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Further, existing immigration laws may make it more difficult for the combined company to recruit and retain highly skilled
foreign national graduates of universities in the U.S., making the pool of available talent even smaller. If the combined company is unable to attract and retain qualified employees, its business may be harmed. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The combined company will be subject to regulation by various federal, state and foreign governments and agencies in areas including, among others, U.S.
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (health and safety), antitrust, fraud and abuse (including anti-kickback and false claims laws), import/export, U.S. federal false claims, U.S. Physician Payment Sunshine Act, privacy and data protection, the FCPA
and environmental laws and regulations. A portion of the combined company&#8217;s operations will be subject to regulation by the FDA and similar foreign regulatory agencies. Regulations govern an array of product activities, including design,
development, labeling, manufacturing, promotion, sales and distribution. These regulations are complex and can change frequently (including as a result of changes in interpretation of existing regulations). In particular, significant political
shifts in any of the countries in which the combined company will conduct business, including the U.S., may result in regulatory uncertainty and substantial changes in the regulatory regimes to which the combined company is subject. For example, the
new presidential administration and regulatory leadership in the U.S. may propose, enact or pursue policy, regulatory and enforcement changes that create additional uncertainty for the combined company. Any failure by the combined company to comply
with applicable governmental regulations could result in product recalls, the imposition of fines, restrictions on the combined company&#8217;s ability to conduct or expand its operations or the cessation of all or a portion of its operations.
Additionally, the combined company expects to develop, configure and market its products and services to meet customer needs created by these regulations, and any significant change in regulations could reduce demand for its products, increase its
expenses or otherwise materially impact its financial position and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Regulators globally are increasingly imposing greater fines and
penalties for privacy and data protection violations, and the European Union, as an example, has enacted a broad data protection regulation with fines based on a percentage of global revenues. Changes in laws or regulations associated with enhanced
protection of certain sensitive types of personal information, such as information related to health, could greatly increase the cost of compliance and the cost of providing the combined company&#8217;s products or services. Further, these laws and
regulations require the combined company to embed privacy, security and data protection requirements in all assets impacting the processing of personal data and could also require the combined company to modify current or future products or
services, which may harm the combined company&#8217;s future financial results. More recently, privacy and data protection regulators are paying special attention to emerging issues linked to new digital technologies, such as the use of artificial
intelligence, biometrics, and surveillance technologies, which pose unique challenges to existing privacy and data protection paradigms. Any failure, or perceived failure, by the combined company to comply with laws and regulations on privacy, data
security or consumer protection, or other policies, public perception, standards, self-regulatory requirements or legal obligations, could result in lost or restricted business, proceedings, actions or fines brought against the combined company or

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger Agreement provides that following the completion of the Distribution, Merger Sub will merge with and into SpinCo with each share of SpinCo Common
Stock converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Waters Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is designed to result in Waters issuing in the Merger shares that
represent 39.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock on a fully diluted basis immediately following the Merger. As described below and more fully set out in the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, the Exchange Ratio
will be adjusted to the extent necessary to ensure that, immediately following the Closing, former holders of SpinCo Common Stock (including the Overlap Shareholders) own, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, at least the Threshold Percentage of
the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock. If the Exchange Ratio is increased, then (i)&nbsp;Waters would pay a cash dividend to Waters shareholders who held shares of Waters Common Stock as of the Waters Special Dividend record date, which
record date will be a date prior to the date of the Merger, and (ii)&nbsp;the SpinCo Cash Distribution may be decreased. While the Waters Special Dividend will be paid only to shareholders of record of Waters Common Stock as of the Waters Special
Dividend record date, which will be a date before the Merger, Waters expects the payment date for any Waters Special Dividend would be following the Closing. The Waters Special Dividend and any decrease in the SpinCo Cash Distribution are designed
to preserve the nominal economic allocation between the holders of SpinCo Common Stock (in their capacity as such) and Waters shareholders (in their capacity as such) that would have resulted from the Exchange Ratio if it were not adjusted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described in more detail under &#8220;U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution and the Merger&#8221; the Distribution would not be treated
as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> distribution to BD for U.S. federal income tax purposes if, among other reasons, the Merger results in one or more persons acquiring a 50% or greater interest (by vote or value) in SpinCo Common
Stock. However, for purposes of such a determination, if a holder of SpinCo Common Stock is also a shareholder of Waters immediately prior to the Merger (an Overlap Shareholder), the IRS Ruling, if received, is expected to confirm that the net
increase in the Overlap Shareholder&#8217;s ownership of SpinCo as a result of the Merger and by virtue of being a shareholder of Waters is offset by its net decrease in such ownership percentage by reason of being a holder of SpinCo Common Stock
immediately prior to the Merger. If the IRS Ruling is not received, BD and Waters will not be able to make the assumptions about beneficial ownership needed to treat specified investors as Overlap Shareholders (or to determine the amount of
overlapping shareholdings). </P>

any), meets the Threshold Percentage will be made jointly by Waters and BD acting reasonably and in good faith and in consultation with their respective outside legal counsel and tax advisors. In furtherance thereof, (A)&nbsp;prior to the Closing,
Waters and BD will promptly notify the other upon it becoming aware of any action or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to result in the need for an adjustment to the Exchange Ratio, (B)&nbsp;no later than 10 business days prior to the
expected Closing, and on each business day following the tenth business day prior to the expected Closing, Waters and BD will provide the other with any information that is reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the other with respect to
the calculation of the Overlap Shares, the Applicable Percentage, the Exchange Ratio, the Aggregate Adjustment Amount and the Excess Adjustment Amount (if any) as of such date and will provide one another with such information as of the

the Threshold Percentage is not met, such party will notify the other party thereof (together with its calculation of the Applicable Percentage and proposed Exchange Ratio Increase Amount, Aggregate Adjustment Amount and Excess Adjustment Amount (if

Vice President of Strategy and Transformation, collectively, the &#8220;Waters Senior Management Team&#8221;) regularly assess Waters&#8217; historical performance, future growth prospects and overall strategic objectives. In doing so, they consider
a variety of potential financial and strategic opportunities to enhance business performance, long-term growth and shareholder value. These reviews have included consideration, from time to time, of Waters&#8217; standalone growth potential, as well
as various potential strategic alternatives and opportunities for inorganic growth, including partnerships, investments, acquisitions, business combinations, divestments and other strategic transactions and opportunities (including both small and
large-scale transactions). Such review has also involved an ongoing analysis of Waters&#8217; business segments and the potential expansion of such business segments or potential expansion into new business segments. </P>

acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic transactions in light of their strategic objectives and returns to shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beginning in early 2024,
BD (with, at times, the assistance of outside advisors), undertook a comprehensive business portfolio evaluation. As part of that evaluation, BD determined that the separation of the BDS Business from the rest of BD would enhance strategic focus and
growth-oriented investments and capital allocation for both BD and the BDS Business and would enhance value creation for shareholders. BD believed the separation would create a new BD that is recognized as a focused, innovative and growth-oriented
medical technology leader with four attractive segments aligned to both essential needs and higher-growth trends in health care, and the BDS Business that is expected to become a differentiated leader in Life Sciences Tools and Diagnostics. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On January&nbsp;27, 2025, the BD Board held a board meeting in which it discussed potential scenarios for value creation with respect to the BDS Business.

Waters Senior Management Team, as well as Waters employees involved in the evaluation of the potential transaction with the BDS Business, were also present at the meetings and presented on, among other topics, capital allocation options with respect
to Waters&#8217; free cash flow, including (among others) share buybacks and potential M&amp;A opportunities. During those meetings, members of Waters&#8217; Senior Management Team reviewed with the Waters Board several potential M&amp;A
opportunities (including three potential strategic all-cash targets under active consideration) based on strategic fit, value creation opportunities and actionability. Dr. Batra also updated the Waters Board regarding BD&#8217;s recent announcement
to separate the BDS Business from the rest of BD, possibly structured as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-efficient</FONT> RMT transaction. The Waters Senior Management Team discussed with the Waters Board conducting preliminary <FONT

was supportive of pursuing these avenues to make a preliminary determination of whether Waters should dedicate the time and resources required in connection with a further exploration of a potential business combination involving the two businesses.
The Waters Board then instructed the Waters Senior Management Team to engage and work with financial and legal advisors, as well as consultants to conduct <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#8220;outside-in&#8221;</FONT> due diligence and to present
their assessment of potential strategic targets to the Waters Audit and Finance Committee (the &#8220;Waters A&amp;F Committee&#8221;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following
BD&#8217;s public announcement that it intended to separate the BDS Business from the rest of BD, representatives of Citi and Evercore reached out to various parties, including Waters, to determine their interest in a potential acquisition of the

respect to strategic fit, value creation opportunities, financial attractiveness and achievability of a potential transaction. During the meeting, representatives of Barclays presented to Waters an overview of the BDS Business&#8217;s operations, as

then discussed the mechanics and various considerations associated with the RMT transaction structure. In particular, representatives of Barclays noted that this structure would allow Waters to make a significant acquisition using stock
consideration (vs. cash consideration), and provide additional scale and opportunity to realize synergies and discussed analyses done to date with respect to the RMT structure and shareholder overlap analysis. Representatives of Barclays also
explained BD&#8217;s transaction process, including the requirement for interested parties to submit a preliminary <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> indication of interest by the week of March&nbsp;3, 2025, in order to move into a

providing cash proceeds to BD in an amount that would be sufficient to maintain, and potentially reduce, BD&#8217;s net leverage level after giving effect to the transaction. The March 2025 Proposal indicated that, while sizing of synergies remained
subject to due diligence, Waters anticipated strong revenue and cost synergy opportunities from a potential combination, including in areas such as cross-selling Waters products upstream into research markets, promoting <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">LC-MS</FONT> in clinical diagnostics and optimizing logistics, procurement and related costs. The March 2025 Proposal included a request that the parties enter into a confidentiality agreement in order to exchange
information regarding potential synergies and engage in customary due diligence. The March 2025 Proposal did not include any proposal with respect to the valuation of the BDS Business or the pro forma ownership split of the combined company. The

BDS Business. The Waters Senior Management Team, as well as representatives of Barclays and Kirkland, were also present at the meeting. The Waters Senior Management Team provided an update on the status of their discussions with BD, a summary of
their due diligence findings to date, and the potential cost and revenue synergies that could be achieved in such transaction. The Waters A&amp;F Committee discussed the strategic rationale of the potential business combination, including with
respect to the product portfolio, geographic footprint, financial profile and addressable market. The Waters A&amp;F Committee also discussed the complementary nature of Waters&#8217; product roadmaps in
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">bio-separations</FONT> and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in clinical diagnostics adjacencies, as well as potential cost-savings that could be achieved by reducing the manufacturing footprint of the combined
company and the opportunity to drive further value through service, sales and marketing optimization. Representatives of Barclays then reviewed various preliminary valuation analyses of the BDS Business (including a discounted cash flow analysis,
precedent transactions analysis, trading comparables analysis and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sum-of-the-parts</FONT></FONT></FONT> analysis) and various preliminary pro forma
valuation analyses for the potential combined company based on the unaudited prospective financial information regarding the BDS Business delivered by BD Management on March&nbsp;27, 2025 as discussed under &#8220;Certain Financial
Forecasts&#8212;BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections.&#8221; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the meeting, representatives of Barclays then discussed with the Waters A&amp;F
Committee various financial and tactical considerations for the potential transaction. The Waters A&amp;F Committee discussed the proposed legal and financial terms that could be included in the proposal to be delivered by May&nbsp;6, 2025,
including potential valuations for the BDS Business, and a proposed pro forma ownership split of the combined company of approximately 60% to 40%, respectively, between Waters shareholders and BD shareholders. The Waters A&amp;F Committee assessed
pro forma ownership splits ranging from approximately 50%/50% to approximately 65%/35% (between Waters and BD shareholders), depending on the size of the cash dividend to BD (ranging from $0 to $7 billion) and the relative valuations of Waters and
the BDS Business. In particular, the Waters A&amp;F Committee&nbsp;discussed a potential $4.0&nbsp;billion cash dividend payable by SpinCo to BD, which would be funded by indebtedness incurred by SpinCo, and the determination that the pro forma
leverage of the combined company (including such indebtedness) would allow the combined company to maintain an inaugural investment grade credit rating. In determining the appropriate ownership split and size of the cash dividend, the Waters A&amp;F
Committee considered the relative standalone equity values of Waters and the BDS Business, the impact of the cash dividend, the pro forma leverage of the combined company, U.S. federal income tax requirements and the anticipated synergies and value
creation opportunities from the transaction. Following review, the Waters A&amp;F Committee determined to recommend that the Waters Board approve submission of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> proposal to BD that contemplated
payment of a $4.0&nbsp;billion cash dividend to BD, and pro forma ownership split of the combined company consisting of Waters shareholders owning approximately 60% and BD shareholders owning approximately 40%. </P>

including a summary of their due diligence findings to date. A discussion then ensued regarding the strategic rationale of a potential combination with the BDS Business. The Waters Senior Management Team and Barclays discussed with the Waters Board
structuring and tax considerations related to a potential RMT transaction with the BDS Business. The Waters Senior Management Team noted that, in light of the strategic rationale and value creation opportunities of the potential business combination
involving the BDS Business, the Waters Senior Management Team would prioritize such business combination over other potential smaller acquisitions. Following the meeting, the Waters Senior Management Team subsequently submitted letters of intent to
two all-cash transaction targets, but did not ultimately pursue such acquisitions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the meeting, representatives of Barclays reviewed various

based on (i) cost synergies on defined initiatives across manufacturing and supply chain (including site rationalization and procurement efficiencies), commercial infrastructure and technology streamlining (eliminating duplicative systems and
central functions), and indirect procurement and global capability center leverage and (ii) revenue synergies which reflected actionable opportunities in commercial excellence (digital penetration, service attachment, installed-base upgrades),
high-growth adjacencies in bioanalytical characterization, bioseparations, and mass-spec diagnostics, and cross-selling in pharma clinical labs, with material assumptions underlying such synergies including the achievement of the BDS

potential, which was analyzed through a bottom-up analysis, a $4&nbsp;billion cash dividend to be paid to BD in connection with the potential transaction, and a proposed pro forma ownership split of the combined company of approximately 60% and 40%,

shareholders would be increased such that, taking into account qualifying overlap shareholdings, to the extent applicable, BD shareholders would be considered for U.S. federal income tax purposes to own more than 50.0% of the pro forma combined
company. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> proposal also stated that the Waters Board would be open to considering BD board members with relevant expertise for positions on Waters&#8217; Board post-closing. Following review,

in the bids, as well as the complexity of moving multiple potential counterparties to the next round, it was determined to advance to the second round of the process the potential counterparties that had made RMT proposals for the entire BDS
Business, including Waters. It was determined that such proposals represented greater value to BD and its shareholders than the other proposals received, taking into account the tax efficiencies of an RMT transaction and the potential for BD
shareholders to participate in the potential synergies through their stock ownership in the combined company. Furthermore, there was discussion regarding the significant resources required to negotiate with multiple counterparties, and it was

dividend would be reduced, in each case subject to caps, and Waters generally seeking a structure in which the BD dividend reduction came first. The parties continued to discuss variations on these potential adjustment mechanisms, including the

with Waters and the status of discussions and negotiations with the other potential counterparty. During the meeting, Wachtell Lipton discussed the Board&#8217;s fiduciary duties in considering the transaction, and changes to the transaction
documents since the prior summary of the transaction documents given to the BD Board. BD management reviewed the accounting treatment of the potential transaction, the potential impact of difficulties in the financing markets on the transactions,
and the communications and investor relations plan to announce the transactions if the parties reach agreement. Following discussion with the participants at the meeting, the BD Board unanimously determined, among other things, that the Merger
Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including the Separation Agreement) and the Transactions contemplated thereby were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of BD and its shareholders and approved and authorized the execution, delivery

BDS Business. The Waters Board discussed with the Waters Senior Management Team and advisors various considerations relating to the potential transaction, including financial aspects of the potential transaction and the strategic benefits and risks
of the potential transaction. Barclays then rendered to the Waters Board its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed by delivery of its written opinion dated July&nbsp;13, 2025) that the exchange ratio in the potential transaction was fair, from a
financial point of view, to Waters.<B> </B>Representatives of Kirkland reviewed with the Waters Board the key transaction document terms, including the Merger Agreement, Separation Agreement and the debt commitment letters, and discussed the
resolution of the open issues that had previously been reviewed with the Waters Board. Members of the Waters Board also reviewed Barclays&#8217; relationship disclosure letter, and the Waters Board concluded that none of the information provided by
Barclays presented a material conflict that would impact Barclays&#8217; ability to act as financial advisor to Waters. The Waters Board then discussed the compelling timing of the business combination given the strength of Waters&#8217; core
business following its successful operational transformation. Following discussion, the Waters Board unanimously (a)&nbsp;determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby, including the Waters Share
Issuance, are fair to and in the best interests of Waters and its shareholders, (b)&nbsp;approved and declared advisable the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions contemplated thereby,

using a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-day</FONT> volume weighted average price as of July&nbsp;11, 2025, and contemplated a pro forma ownership split of the combined company of approximately 60.8% to approximately 39.2% between Waters

operations and prospects of Waters and of the BDS Business and synergies expected to be realized in the combination; other alternatives that may be available to Waters; as well as the risks and uncertainties associated with the Transactions and with

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections were prepared during May 2025 and were based upon numerous estimates, expectations, beliefs, opinions and
assumptions with respect to Waters&#8217; business, including its results of operations and financial condition, customer requirements and competition, and with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and
other future events, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Waters&#8217; control and may not be realized. Waters management believes that the estimates and expectations, beliefs, opinions and assumptions used as a basis
for the Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections were reasonable based on the information available to Waters management at the time prepared. However, the Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections are not a guarantee of actual future
performance. The future financial results of Waters&#8217; business may differ materially from those expressed in the Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections due to various factors, including factors that are beyond Waters&#8217; ability to
control or predict. The Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections, (i)&nbsp;do not take into account any transactions, circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared, including the Transactions, costs and expenses
incurred or to be incurred in connection with the Transactions, synergies expected to result from the Transactions or costs and expenses necessary to achieve anticipated synergies, or the effect of any failure of the merger or the other Transactions
to occur; (ii)&nbsp;are not necessarily indicative of current market conditions or values or future performance, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth in the Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections; and
(iii)&nbsp;are not, and should not be regarded as, a representation that any of the results or expectations contained in, or forming a part of, the Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections will be achieved. Certain of the key assumptions
made by Waters management in connection with the preparation of the Waters Standalone Financial Projections include, without limitation, (A)&nbsp;a nine-year compound annual growth rate on revenue of 6.8% for the fiscal years ending
December&nbsp;31, 2025 through 2034 (reflecting Waters&#8217; long-term growth characteristics, historical growth rates, risk-adjusted uplift from pricing and idiosyncratic growth drivers (i.e., PFAS, GLP-1s and India Generics), and the cyclical
nature of demand for analytical instruments), (B) a tax rate of approximately 16.5% (based on Waters&#8217; 2024 effective tax rate and expectations for 2025), (C) a projected 36% Adjusted EBITDA margin for 2025 aligning with Waters&#8217; 2024
operating profile (with an expectation to expand to 41% in 2034, as a result of, among other things, expected risk-adjusted pricing benefits and volume leverage), and (D) projected free cash flows equal to 25% of sales in 2025, in line with
historical performance, expanding to 29% of sales in 2034 driven by Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Waters management evaluated the reasonableness of the Waters Standalone Financial Projections by comparing key revenue, margin and growth
assumptions to&nbsp;Waters&#8217; historical performance, and incorporated certain pipeline product development, growth opportunities, and other business initiatives on a risk-adjusted basis. Waters management prepared the Waters Standalone Baseline
Financial Projections and Waters Standalone Advocacy Case Financial Projections as alternative scenarios. The Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections were prepared to reflect a base-case view of achievable risk-adjusted performance, whereas
the Waters Standalone Advocacy Case Financial Projections were prepared to reflect potential performance from full structural uplift from growth opportunities. Each scenario was prepared based on Waters management&#8217;s reasonable judgment and
estimates, market estimates of forecasted growth in global prescription volumes and the forthcoming small-molecule loss-of-exclusivity cycle, and knowledge of the industries in which Waters operates. No further probability assessment was undertaken
with respect to these projections. </P>

pricing, volume leverage and productivity initiatives and (C) projected free cash flows increase from 25% to 33% of sales over the relevant period driven by Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Waters management provided the Waters Standalone Financial
Advocacy Case Projections to Waters&#8217; financial advisors; however, based on Waters management&#8217;s assessments regarding the Waters Standalone Baseline Financial Projections and the Waters Standalone Advocacy Case Financial Projections,

beyond BD&#8217;s control and may not be realized. All of these items are inherently difficult to estimate or accurately forecast, including due to various assumptions about the price of raw materials, the timing of the delivery of customer orders,
fluctuating exchange rates and interest rates. BD management believes that the estimates and expectations, beliefs, opinions and assumptions used as a basis for the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections were reasonable based on the information
available to BD management at the time prepared including historical practices and results as well as the status of current commercial discussions. However, the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections are not a guarantee of actual future
performance. The future financial results of the BDS Business may differ materially from those expressed in the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections due to various factors, including factors that are beyond BD&#8217;s ability to control or
predict. In addition, the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections do not take into account any transactions, circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared, including the Transactions, costs and expenses incurred or to be
incurred in connection with the Transactions, or the effect of any failure of the Merger or the other Transactions to occur. Moreover, the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections are not necessarily indicative of current market conditions or
values or future performance, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth in the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections, and are not, and should not be regarded as, a representation that any of the expectations contained
in, or forming a part of, the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections will be achieved. Certain of the key assumptions made by BD&#8217;s management in connection with the preparation of the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections reflecting
BD management&#8217;s assumptions regarding near-term new product launches, which reflects the BDS Business&#8217;s ongoing, ordinary course pipeline introduction of new and enhanced generations of instruments and associated consumable products on a
regular basis across the various product platforms of the BDS Business (none of which individually were assumed to have a material impact on the BD Management SpinCo Financial Projections); gross margin improvement resulting from BD&#8217;s
enterprise-wide initiatives to drive annual efficiencies and improvements across the BD organization; operating expenses modeled on historical performance; a projected ~6% revenue CAGR driven by normalization of research funding and macro
conditions; recovery of blood-culture product growth following an impact in 2024 from supply disruption; and margin expansion from operating leverage. No further probability assessment was undertaken with respect to these projections. </P>

academic and drug discovery end-market headwinds and benefit from new product launches), (B) an unlevered tax rate of approximately 19% (based on SpinCo&#8217;s effective tax rate and expectations for 2025), (C) a projected 27% Adjusted EBITDA
margin for 2026 (consistent with the Adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.5% for SpinCo&#8217;s fiscal year 2025, reflecting the replacement of BD-allocated corporate costs with Waters&#8217; ongoing operating costs that include the TSA costs, and the
exclusion of one-time restructuring and product-litigation charges, expanding to 32% of sales in 2034 as a result of pricing (at historic levels), product mix, volume leverage and productivity initiatives) and (D) projected free cash flows equal to
17% of sales in 2026, expanding to 21% of sales in 2034 driven by Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Waters management evaluated the reasonableness of the Waters Management Adjusted SpinCo Financial Projections by comparing SpinCo&#8217;s projected
growth and margin trajectory to independent market segment growth analyses prepared by BCG. This included a review of underlying segment-level market growth expectations and known industry headwinds and tailwinds. The Waters Adjusted SpinCo

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Waters Management Expected Synergies were prepared by Waters management. The Waters Management Expected Synergies were derived in part from analysis of
Waters and the BDS Business based on Waters management&#8217;s due diligence review. The Waters Management Expected Synergies were based upon numerous estimates and expectations, beliefs, opinions and assumptions with respect to the post-Transaction
combination of Waters and the BDS Business, including its cost and operating structure, results of operations and financial condition, customer requirements and competition, and with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and
financial conditions and other future events, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Waters&#8217; control and may not be realized. Waters management believes that the estimates and expectations, beliefs, opinions and
assumptions used as a basis for the Waters Management Expected Synergies were reasonable based on the information available to Waters management at the time prepared. However, the Waters Management Expected Synergies are not a guarantee of actual
future performance or ability to achieve the estimated synergies. The future financial consequences to Waters of the consummation of the Transactions may differ materially from those expressed in the Waters Management Expected Synergies due to
various factors, including factors that are beyond Waters&#8217; ability to control or predict. Important factors that may affect Waters&#8217; actual ability to achieve these estimated synergies are further described under &#8220;Cautionary
Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.&#8221; Information regarding the uncertainties associated with realizing these estimated synergies is also described under &#8220;Risk Factors.&#8221; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Waters Management Expected Synergies (i)&nbsp;assume the consummation of the Transactions not later than the first half of 2026 and are not necessarily
indicative of current market conditions or values or future performance, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth in the Waters Management Expected Synergies; and (ii)&nbsp;are not, and should not be regarded as, a
representation that any of the results or expectations contained in, or forming a part of, the Waters Management Expected Synergies will be achieved. The Waters Management Expected Synergies anticipate approximately $345.0&nbsp;million in annualized
Adjusted EBITDA synergies by the fifth year post-Closing, which assumes (A)&nbsp;approximately $290.0&nbsp;million revenue synergies phased in over five years, and (B)&nbsp;approximately $200.0&nbsp;million cost synergies phased in over three years,
in each case, subject to the important qualifications, limitations, and cautionary considerations described above. Waters undertook an independent review of the Waters Management Expected Synergies and representatives of BCG were engaged to evaluate
the reasonableness of the Waters Management Expected Synergies. Representatives of BCG benchmarked the cost-synergy estimates against synergy levels observed in comparable transactions and concluded that the projected cost synergies were reasonable,
BCG representatives also assessed the underlying drivers, commercial assumptions and ramp-up timelines and determined the reasonableness and achievability of the revenue synergies. From this base, cost and revenue synergy estimates were further
reduced and risk-adjusted, with certain items excluded from the final estimate to enhance achievability and provide prudence for unforeseen factors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc933855_19"></A>Opinion of Barclays </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Waters retained Barclays to provide a fairness opinion in connection with the proposed Merger.

Merger or related transactions, including the prices at which Waters Common Stock will trade following consummation of the Merger or any other matter. The terms of the Transaction were determined through
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">arm&#8217;s-length</FONT> negotiations between Waters and BD and were approved by the Waters Board. Barclays did not recommend any specific form of consideration to Waters or that any specific form of consideration
constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Transactions. Barclays was not requested to address, and its opinion does not in any manner address, Waters&#8217; underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Transactions, the
likelihood of consummation of the Transactions or the relative merits of the Transactions as compared to any other transaction or business strategy in which Waters may engage. In addition, Barclays expressed no opinion on, and its opinion does not

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Barclays had discussions with the management of Waters concerning its business, operations,
assets, liabilities, financial condition and prospects and has undertaken such other studies, analyses and investigations as Barclays deemed appropriate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In arriving at its opinion, Barclays assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information used by Barclays without any
independent verification of such information (and assumed no responsibility or liability for any independent verification of such information) and further relied upon the assurances of the management of Waters that they are not aware of any facts or
circumstances that would make such information inaccurate or misleading. With respect to the Financial Projections, upon the advice of Waters, Barclays assumed that such projections were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently
available estimates and judgments of the management of Waters as to the future financial performance of Waters and the BDS Business, respectively, and that Waters and the BDS Business will perform substantially in accordance with such projections.
Furthermore, upon the advice of Waters, Barclays assumed that the amounts and timing of the Waters Management Expected Synergies are reasonable and that the Waters Management Expected Synergies will be realized in accordance with such estimates.
Barclays assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to any such projections or estimates or the assumptions on which they were based. In arriving at its opinion, Barclays did not conduct a physical inspection of the properties and
facilities of Waters and did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the assets or liabilities of Waters. Barclays&#8217; opinion related to the relative values of Waters and the BDS Business as of the date thereof. Barclays&#8217;
opinion necessarily was based upon market, economic and other conditions as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, July&nbsp;11, 2025. Barclays assumes no responsibility for updating or revising its opinion based on events or circumstances
that may occur after July&nbsp;11, 2025. Barclays expresses no opinion as to the prices at which shares of Waters Common Stock or shares of BD Common Stock would trade following the announcement or consummation of the proposed Transaction.
Barclays&#8217; opinion should not be viewed as having provided any assurance that market value of the shares of Waters Common Stock or BD Common Stock to be held by the shareholders of Waters or BD after the consummation of the Transactions will be
in excess of the market value of Waters Common Stock or BD Common Stock owned by such shareholders at any time prior to the announcement or consummation of the Transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays assumed that the executed Transaction Documents would conform in all material respects to the last drafts reviewed by Barclays. In addition, Barclays
assumed the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents, as applicable, and all other agreements related thereto. Barclays assumed, upon the advice of Waters, that all material governmental, regulatory and
third-party approvals, consents and releases for the proposed Transactions would be obtained within the constraints contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that the Transactions will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. Barclays also assumed there would be no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio other than as expressly provided in, and solely to the
extent required by, Section&nbsp;3.1(c) of the Merger Agreement and in circumstances in which a corresponding Waters Special Dividend is declared and paid pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1(c) of the Merger Agreement. Barclays also assumed that if the
Aggregate Adjustment Amount exceeds the Step 1 Cap or the Step 2 Cap, then the amount of the SpinCo Cash Distribution will be decreased and the amount of the Waters Special Dividend will be increased, in each case in accordance with
Section&nbsp;3.1(c)(ii) of the Merger Agreement, and that any adjustment to the Exchange Ratio will not be in excess of the Aggregate Cap if the sum of the increase of the Waters Special Dividend and the absolute value of the decrease in the amount
of the SpinCo Cash Distribution is less than the amount by which the adjustment exceeds the Aggregate Cap. Barclays also assumed Waters and SpinCo would obtain financing in accordance with the terms set forth in Waters Commitment Letter and the
SpinCo Bridge Commitment Letter, respectively. Barclays did not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Transactions, to any party or any shareholder, nor did the opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory
or accounting matters, as to which Barclays understood that Waters had obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals. Barclays assumed that the Merger would qualify for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a reorganization

particular weight to any single analysis or factor considered by it but, rather, made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by it
and in the context of the circumstances of the Transactions. Accordingly, Barclays believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, as considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors as a

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a summary of the material financial analyses used by Barclays in connection with its oral opinion and the preparation of its written opinion
to the Waters Board dated July&nbsp;13, 2025. The summary of Barclays&#8217; analyses and reviews provided below is not a complete description of the analyses and reviews underlying Barclays&#8217; opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a
complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of analyses and review and the application of those methods to particular circumstances, and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary
description. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the purposes of its analyses and reviews, Barclays made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business,
economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Waters, BD, SpinCo or any other parties to the Transactions. No company, business or transaction considered in Barclays&#8217; analyses and reviews
is identical to Waters, the BDS Business or the Merger, and an evaluation of the results of those analyses and reviews is not entirely mathematical. Rather, the analyses and reviews involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial
and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions considered in Barclays&#8217; analyses and reviews. None of Waters, SpinCo, BD, Barclays
or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses and reviews and the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or review are not
necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of companies, businesses or securities do not
purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which the companies, businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, the estimates used in, and the results derived from, Barclays&#8217; analyses and reviews are inherently subject to
substantial uncertainty. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The summary of the financial analyses and reviews summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order to
fully understand the financial analyses and reviews used by Barclays, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses and reviews. Considering the
data in the tables below without considering the full description of the analyses and reviews, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses and reviews, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Barclays&#8217; analyses
and reviews. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As noted above, Barclays&#8217; opinion assumed there would be no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio other than as expressly provided in, and
solely to the extent required by, Section&nbsp;3.1(c) of the Merger Agreement and in circumstances in which a corresponding Waters Special Dividend and SpinCo Cash Distribution are declared and paid pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1(c) of the Merger
Agreement. In order to inform the Waters Board of the full spectrum of potential adjustments to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Barclays performed the discounted cash flow analyses described below assuming no
adjustment to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to Section&nbsp;3.1(c) of the Merger Agreement, an accompanying $4.0&nbsp;billion SpinCo Cash Distribution and no Waters Special Dividend, on the one hand, and, alternatively, a maximum adjustment to the

estimate the present value of shares of Waters Common Stock and SpinCo Common Stock, Barclays performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Waters and the BDS Business. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to
derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the &#8220;present value&#8221; of estimated future cash flows of the asset. &#8220;Present value&#8221; refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those
future cash flows or amounts by a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors. </P>

Barclays added (1)&nbsp;the present value of Waters&#8217; projected unlevered free cash flows for the period between January&nbsp;1, 2025 and December 31, 2034 based on the Waters Stand-alone Baseline Financial Projections to (2)&nbsp;the present
value of the terminal value of Waters as of December&nbsp;31, 2034, which present values were discounted using a range of selected discount rates from 9.0% to 10.0%. The unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-effected</FONT> earnings before interest and, adding back the aggregate of depreciation and amortization, subtracting capital expenditures and adjusting for changes in net working capital. The residual value of Waters
at the end of the forecast period, or &#8220;terminal value,&#8221; was estimated by applying a range of terminal exit multiples of 16.0x to 18.0x, which was derived by Barclays utilizing its professional judgment and experience and based on the
Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis, and applying such range to Waters&#8217; estimated next twelve month (&#8220;NTM&#8221;) Adjusted EBITDA as of December&nbsp;31, 2034 of approximately $2.3 billion, as provided by and approved for
Barclay&#8217;s use by Waters management. The range of discount rates of 9% to 10% was selected based on an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Waters. The discounted cash flow analysis based on the terminal multiples implied a range
of equity values for Waters of $20.9&nbsp;billion to $24.7&nbsp;billion and values per share of Waters Common Stock as of July&nbsp;11, 2025 of $348.11 to $410.57. </P>

because no selected comparable company is exactly the same as Waters, Barclays believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected comparable company analysis. Accordingly, Barclays
also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of Waters and the selected comparable companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to
provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments related primarily to the differing sizes, growth prospects, profitability levels, product portfolio, served markets and channel, and degree
of operational risk between Waters and the companies included in the selected company analysis. Based on these judgments, Barclays selected the trading value multiples ranging from 18.0x to 20.0x for the projected 2025 fiscal year Adjusted EBITDA of

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays calculated and compared various financial multiples and ratios of the BDS Business and the selected comparable companies. As part of its selected
comparable company analysis, Barclays calculated and analyzed each company&#8217;s ratio of enterprise value to projected EBITDA. Enterprise value and EBITDA calculations for the selected publicly traded comparable companies were based on publicly
available financial data, and closing prices, as of July&nbsp;11, 2025. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays selected the comparable companies listed above because their businesses
and operating profiles are reasonably similar to that of the BDS Business. However, because no selected comparable company is exactly the same as the BDS Business, Barclays believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on
the quantitative results of the selected comparable company analysis. Accordingly, Barclays also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the business, financial and operating characteristics and prospects of the BDS Business and
the selected comparable companies that could affect the public trading values of each in order to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis. These qualitative judgments related primarily to the differing sizes,
growth prospects, profitability levels, product portfolios, served markets and channels, and degrees of operational risk between the BDS Business and the companies included in the selected company analysis. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on these judgments, Barclays selected the trading value multiples ranging from 15.0x to 18.0x for the projected 2025 fiscal year Adjusted EBITDA of the

$12.7&nbsp;billion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Barclays further selected the trading value multiples ranging from 14.0x to 17.0x for the projected 2026 fiscal year Adjusted EBITDA

judgment and experience, to the BDS Business&#8217;s estimated LTM EBITDA as of June&nbsp;30, 2025 of approximately $908.0&nbsp;million. Estimated financial data of the selected transactions were based on publicly available information at the time
of announcement of the relevant transaction. Estimated financial data of the BDS Business were based on the Waters Management Adjusted SpinCo Financial Projections. This analysis indicated the approximate implied enterprise value range of
$15.4&nbsp;billion to $20.9&nbsp;billion and implied equity value range of $11.4&nbsp;billion to $16.9&nbsp;billion for the BDS Business on a stand-alone basis. </P>

September 10, 2025, BD submitted to the IRS a request for the IRS Ruling regarding, among other things, the proper time, manner and methodology for measuring Overlap Shareholders for purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code. Receipt of the IRS
Ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BD, which shall continue to be valid and in full force and effect as of the Closing, is a condition to the Distribution and the Merger. Therefore, the parties will not complete the Merger until

rulings to other parties that contain rulings substantially similar to those BD is requesting, but a private letter ruling can only be relied upon by the party to whom it is addressed and the IRS is not required to issue similar rulings to BD. The
IRS may decline to issue the IRS Ruling, in which case BD and SpinCo will not be required to close the Merger. Depending on the rulings received and whether BD, in its sole discretion, waives the closing condition tied to receipt of the IRS Ruling,
the former shares of SpinCo Common Stock could be converted into approximately 39.2% to 50.5% of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock immediately following the Merger, based upon the Exchange Ratio, and any adjustments thereto as provided

Merger based on the principles set forth in the IRS Ruling. Further, the IRS Ruling will be based on, among other things, certain assumptions as well as the accuracy of certain factual representations and statements that BD has made to the IRS.
Although a private letter ruling from the IRS is generally binding on the IRS, if the parties do not apply the IRS Ruling correctly or any of the representations or statements that BD made are, or become, inaccurate or incomplete, the Distributions
might not qualify as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Receipt of the IRS Ruling is a condition to the Distribution and the Merger. In the event the IRS refuses to grant any ruling requested in

Code, BD is required to recognize corporate level tax on the Distribution if, as a result of the Merger and any other Transactions considered part of a plan with the Distribution, there is a direct or indirect acquisition by one or more persons of
equity representing a 50% or greater interest in SpinCo. For purposes of determining whether one or more persons will acquire directly or indirectly equity representing a 50% or greater interest in BD or SpinCo for purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of
the Code, if a holder of SpinCo Common Stock is also a shareholder of Waters immediately prior to the Merger (an Overlap Shareholder), the amount of such Overlap Shareholder&#8217;s ownership percentage in SpinCo immediately prior to the Merger that
does not decrease as a result of the Merger is not taken into account as a an acquisition of interests for these purposes. BD has requested a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding the proper time, manner and methodology for measuring Overlap
Shareholders for these purposes. If, notwithstanding the IRS Ruling, any taxes (and any related interest, penalties or audit adjustments) are attributable to an error in the determination of the Overlap Shareholders or otherwise to the failure of
the Contribution or the Distribution to qualify for their intended tax treatment because of an issue with respect to the computation or availability of Overlap Shareholders (and such taxes are not attributable to certain specified actions of BD or
Waters that result in such taxes being allocated to BD and/or Waters), then the Tax Matters Agreement provides that BD will bear 39.2% and Waters will bear 60.8% of such taxes. </P>

an indemnity to any holder of SpinCo Common Stock (as determined immediately after the Distribution but prior to the Merger) or any BD Shareholder or Waters Shareholder as a result of any failure of the Separation, the Distribution or the Merger to

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BDS Business uses a broad range of raw materials in the manufacture of products. It purchases many different types of raw materials and components, including
electro-chemical components, chemicals, packaging, labeling, wiring, plastics, glass, metals and metal support structuring, textiles, paper products, agricultural products, electronic and mechanical
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">sub-assemblies,</FONT> and various biological, chemical and petrochemical products and molded plastic products, examples of the foregoing including lasers, optical detectors, antibodies, biological samples,
specialized dyes, software, robotics, and laboratory equipment and molded components. The BDS Business seeks to ensure continuity of supply by securing multiple options for sourcing. However, there are situations where raw materials and components
are only available from one supplier, which are referred to as sole sourced. The use of sole sourced materials and components may be due to regulatory needs, especially with respect to products that cleared or that have a version cleared with
regulatory agencies tied in-country filing, or may be due to a need to access sourcing of proprietary and/or patented technology and processes that are intended to provide a unique market differentiation to the BDS Business&#8217;s product or due to
a desire to limit access to BD technology used in manufacturing. In other cases, while a raw material or component can be sourced from multiple manufacturers, only one supplier is qualified due to quality assurance, cost or other considerations. BD
works to identify alternative suppliers for sole sourced or critical components, and vets carefully any supplier that it purchases from. In order to provide alternate sources, the BDS Business must complete a rigorous qualification process for each
vendor, which often includes completion of a quality audit and regulatory registration and approval. If clinical trials are not required, then this qualification process can take three to 18 months depending on the criticality of the change. When
clinical trials are required, this process may lengthen the qualification phase from one to three years. The BDS Business continuously assesses its sole sourced raw materials and components, and maintains business continuity plans with its
suppliers. The BDS Business&#8217;s continuity plans may include securing secondary supply with alternate suppliers, qualification of alternate manufacturing facilities, maintaining contingency stock, internal development of supply and establishment
of technology escrow accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Intellectual Property and Licenses</B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business owns significant intellectual property, including patents, patent applications, technology, trade secrets,
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how,</FONT> copyrights and trademarks in the United States and other countries. The BDS Business is also licensed under domestic and foreign patents, patent applications, technology, trade secrets, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how,</FONT> copyrights and trademarks owned by others. In the aggregate, these intellectual property assets and licenses are of material importance to the BDS Business. SpinCo believes, however, that no single patent,
technology, trademark, intellectual property asset or license is material in relation to the BDS Business as a whole, or to any business segment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although patents remain an important component of the BDS Business&#8217;s overall strategy to protect innovation and maintain differentiation, the BDS
Business&#8217;s competitive advantages arise from a combination of factors, including its use of proprietary technology in manufacturing, the collective <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> and expertise across R&amp;D and technical
teams, strong brand reputation, longstanding commercial relationships, and collaborations with universities, medical centers, and other entities in specialized fields, as well as broad technology platforms that enable multiple product lines across
geographies. Because of these factors, the BDS Business&#8217;s commercial success does not depend on the validity, enforceability, or expiration timing of any individual patent, patent family or other intellectual property asset. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A high-level breakdown of the BDS Business&#8217;s global patent portfolio by technology platform is
illustrated in the graph below, providing an overview of how issued patents and pending patent applications align with key technology areas within the BDS Business. However, patents do not always correspond directly to individual commercial
products, and many products rely on integrated technologies supported by multiple families of patents. Conversely, certain patents may read on multiple platforms, technologies, or product categories, and the associations between particular patents
and products or technologies may change over time as product lines evolve and new innovations are developed. For these reasons, SpinCo does not consider the graph to represent a definitive mapping of patents to any specific technology platform, but
rather a high-level representation of the relative distribution of patent assets across key technology areas. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Patent Assets by Platform

Business from continuing to sell products protected by the patent, but it might allow third parties to use the patented technology. SpinCo does not believe that expiration of patents in any given year or period will materially affect the BDS
Business or any segment due to the diversified nature of the portfolio, as well as the BDS Business&#8217;s reliance on other competitive strengths, including <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how</FONT> and proprietary manufacturing and process
technologies, strong brand reputation, longstanding commercial relationships and ongoing investments in&nbsp;R&amp;D. </P>

BDS Business is a global life sciences business engaged in the development, manufacturing and sale of instruments and reagent systems to detect a broad range of infectious diseases, healthcare-associated infections, and cancers. The BDS
Business&#8217;s organizational structure is based upon two principal business segments, Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions. Biosciences is a leader in flow cytometry solutions for immunology and cancer research and related clinical diagnostics
and has innovative single-cell multiomics tools. Diagnostic Solutions is a leader in microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics, including molecular diagnostics, cervical cancer screening, microbiology automation, and <FONT

federal income tax purposes, the Merger Agreement generally provides that the Exchange Ratio (designed, prior to any adjustment, to result in the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock, immediately following the Merger, being owned approximately
39.2% by the former holders of SpinCo Common Stock and approximately 60.8% by the Waters shareholders immediately prior to the Merger) will be adjusted and increased if necessary to ensure that, immediately following the Closing, former holders of

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The accompanying historical combined financial statements of the BDS Business included in this proxy statement/prospectus were derived from the consolidated
financial statements and accounting records of BD. These combined financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the BDS Business of BD as they were historically managed and adjusted
in conformity with U.S. GAAP on a stand-alone basis. Therefore, this historical combined financial information may not be indicative of the BDS Business&#8217;s future performance and does not necessarily reflect what the BDS Business&#8217;s
combined results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would have been had the BDS Business operated as a separate, stand-alone company during the periods presented. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The historical combined financial statements of the BDS Business include certain assets and liabilities specifically attributable to the BDS Business. BD
employs a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its operations. For all periods presented, cash and equivalents, and liabilities legally held by the BDS Business were included in the combined balance sheets. BD&#8217;s debt
and related interest expense have not been attributed to the BDS Business for any of the periods presented. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the BDS Business would have financed operations as a stand-alone company
separate from BD during the periods presented. Cash pooling, related interest and intercompany arrangements are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the combined balance sheets. These amounts have instead been reported as <I>Net parent
investment</I> on the combined balance sheets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, BD provides certain services, such as legal, accounting, information technology, human
resources, and other infrastructure support to the BDS Business. The cost of these services has been included in the BDS Business combined financial statements through allocations based upon a proportion of revenue or headcount. BD considers these
allocations to be reflective of the benefits received by the BDS Business during the periods presented in the historical combined financial statements of the BDS Business, as required by and in conformity with U.S. GAAP. While these allocations
include an apportionment of BD&#8217;s corporate and public company costs, such allocated costs may not be indicative or necessary if the BDS Business operated as a part of another existing public company nor are they necessarily representative of
the costs that may be incurred in the future, following the completion of the Transactions. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the BDS Business had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational
structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business&#8217;s operations, supply chain, suppliers and customers are exposed to various global macroeconomic factors and other risks which the BDS
Business continually evaluates to assess their potential impact to the BDS Business&#8217;s operations and financial results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business has been
experiencing, and may continue to experience, some adverse impact to its results of operations due to reductions or delays in academic and governmental research funding which has caused customers for certain of its instruments to delay or forgo
purchases of these products. The deterioration of healthcare systems&#8217; budgets could also reduce the demand for capital purchases. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, the
BDS Business has experienced, and may continue to experience, temporary shortages in supply of certain materials or components that are used in its products. The stable flow of global transport is critical to its operations and as such, events
affecting the flow of logistics around the globe may adversely impact the BDS Business supply chain and distribution channels. In general, major disruptions in the sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of its products could adversely impact its
results of operations. Also, tariffs, sanctions or other trade barriers imposed by the United States, or against the United States from countries in which the BDS Business does business, could adversely impact the BDS Business&#8217;s supply chain
costs, results of operations and the BDS Business&#8217;s financial condition. Based upon the latest published tariffs that are currently in effect, the BDS Business expects tariffs to adversely impact the BDS Business&#8217;s operating expense for
fiscal year 2026 and potentially beyond, primarily relating to any products (or components) imported from countries across the BDS Business&#8217;s global supply chain which have no exemption opportunities. The BDS Business continues to monitor
international trade policy-related developments to assess their potential impacts to the BDS Business&#8217;s operations. The ultimate impact of any existing or new tariffs or other changes in international trade policies is subject to a number of
factors including, but not limited to, the duration of such tariffs, changes in tariff rates, the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs, any countermeasures that target countries may take, or any mitigating actions that may become available. While
sourcing optimization and tariff exemptions for qualifying products are key aspects of the BDS Business&#8217;s mitigation strategy, the timing of such or the ultimate results the BDS Business will realize from these efforts are uncertain as the
political climate continues to develop. In addition, the BDS Business&#8217;s tariff mitigation strategies may be challenged, rejected, or eliminated through legislation or other challenges, or may otherwise not be effective. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Geopolitical conditions may weaken the global economy and/or could result in additional inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints, including the

decline in U.S. revenues in 2025 was primarily driven by lower sales of BACTEC<SUP STYLE="font-size:75%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> blood culture products, even as customer utilization continues to normalize following the resolution of a

reflected lower sales of the Biosciences segment&#8217;s research instruments and reagents due to the constraints in U.S. research funding, as further discussed above. The decline in U.S. revenues in 2024 also reflected lower sales of the Diagnostic
Solutions segment&#8217;s respiratory testing products, as further discussed above, and an unfavorable impact due to a supply disruption that has affected U.S. sales of the segment&#8217;s blood culture products. These unfavorable impacts to U.S.

growth in 2024 was driven by the Biosciences segment&#8217;s sales of clinical reagents and research instruments, as well as by the Diagnostic Solutions segment&#8217;s sales of microbiology products. International revenues in 2024 were unfavorably
impacted by a $17&nbsp;million accrual relating to the Italian government medical device pay back legislation, which substantially relates to years prior to 2024. Additional disclosures regarding this matter are provided in Note 6 to the historical

<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business&#8217;s effective income tax rate was 16.4%, 12.4% and 8.6% in 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate in 2025 compared with 2024 is mainly driven by higher U.S. taxes on earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries and the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain tax credit carryforwards
generated during the current period. This was partially offset by tax benefits resulting from a shift in the geographical mix of earnings. The higher effective income tax rate in 2024 compared with 2023 was primarily driven by a favorable impact of
a remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities upon the approval of a tax incentive in 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Foreign Exchange Risk </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business conducts business in multiple foreign currencies across regions including Europe, Greater Asia, Canada, and Latin America. As a result, it is
exposed to foreign currency risk stemming from its international operations. These exposures primarily arise from intercompany transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, particularly in
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-hyperinflationary</FONT> countries. BD primarily manages this transactional currency risk through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. To further mitigate expected foreign currency exposures from future
intercompany sales and purchases denominated in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-local</FONT> currencies, BD also utilizes forward and option contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges to offset this risk. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business itself does not directly engage in derivative instruments, including forward contracts, options, swaps, or similar financial instruments. As
such, any derivative-related assets or liabilities recognized at BD&#8217;s corporate level, along with the associated impacts recorded in <I>Accumulated other comprehensive loss</I>, are not attributable to the BDS Business for any of the periods
presented. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For transactional foreign exchange exposures related primarily to intercompany payables and receivables, BD employs undesignated hedging
instruments. Gains and losses from these instruments are recognized immediately in the income statement and are generally offset by the corresponding gains and losses on the underlying transactions, along with any associated hedging costs. Because
the BDS Business participates in BD&#8217;s overall hedging strategy, it records an allocated portion of the impact from these undesignated hedges in its financial results. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Historical

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cash and cash equivalents and liabilities legally held by the BDS Business were included in the combined balance sheets. However, as part of BD, the BDS
Business has been dependent upon BD for substantially all of its working capital and financing requirements. BD uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. The majority of the cash of the BDS Business is
transferred to BD daily and BD funds the operating and investing activities of such business as needed. This arrangement is not reflective of the manner in which the BDS Business would have been able to finance its operations had the BDS Business
been a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">stand-alone</FONT> business separate from BD during the periods presented. Cash transfers to and from BD&#8217;s cash management accounts are reflected within <I>Net parent investment</I> as a component of
equity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BD&#8217;s debt and related interest expense have not been attributed to the BDS Business for any of the periods presented. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following discussion supplements the descriptions of the BDS Business&#8217;s accounting policies contained in Note 2 to the historical combined financial
statements of the BDS Business included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The preparation of the historical combined financial statements of the BDS Business requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the historical combined financial statements. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex and,
consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. For any given estimate or assumption made by management, it is possible that other people applying reasonable
judgment to the same facts and circumstances could develop different estimates. Actual results that differ from management&#8217;s estimates could have an unfavorable effect on the historical combined financial statements of the BDS Business.
Management believes the following policy areas require more significant judgment: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Revenue Recognition </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business revenues are primarily recognized when the customer obtains control of the product sold, which is generally upon shipment or delivery,
depending on the delivery terms specified in the distribution or sales agreement. Revenues associated with certain instruments and equipment for which installation is complex, and therefore significantly affects the customer&#8217;s ability to use
and benefit from the product, are recognized when customer acceptance of these installed products has been confirmed. For certain service arrangements, including extended warranty and software maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably
over the contract term. The majority of revenues relating to extended warranty contracts associated with certain instruments and equipment is generally recognized within a few years whereas deferred revenue relating to software maintenance contracts
is generally recognized over a longer period. </P>

<Center><DIV STYLE="width:8.5in" align="left">
 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business gross revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, which include rebates, sales
discounts and sales returns. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations, and judgment is required when determining the impact of these revenue deductions on gross revenues for a reporting period. Rebates, sales discounts and
sales returns are estimated and treated as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. These estimates are based on contractual terms, historical practices, and current trends, and are adjusted as new information
becomes available. Additional factors considered in the estimate of the BDS Business&#8217;s rebate liability include the quantification of inventory that is either in stock at or in transit to its distributors, as well as the estimated lag time
between the sale of product and the payment of corresponding rebates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Impairment of Assets </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goodwill assets are subject to impairment reviews at least annually, or whenever indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with finite lives and other
long-lived assets are periodically reviewed for impairment when impairment indicators are present. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business assesses goodwill for impairment at
the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The BDS Business has two reporting units, which are also the operating segments. Potential impairment of goodwill
is generally identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. The BDS Business&#8217;s annual goodwill impairment test performed on July&nbsp;1, 2025 did not result in any impairment charges, as the fair value of
each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business generally uses the income approach to derive the fair value for impairment assessments.
This approach calculates fair value by estimating future cash flows attributable to the assets and then discounting these cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The BDS Business selected this method because it believes
the income approach most appropriately measures the value of its income-producing assets. This approach requires management judgment with respect to future volume, revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital use, appropriate
discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates. The estimates and assumptions used are consistent with the BDS Business&#8217;s business plans. The use of alternative estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the
estimated fair value of the asset. Actual results may differ materially from management&#8217;s estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Income Taxes </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Most of the BDS Business&#8217;s operations are included in the consolidated tax returns of BD. Income taxes as presented in the historical combined financial
statements of the BDS Business attribute current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities of BD to the BDS Business in a manner that is systematic, rational and consistent with the asset and liability method prescribed by the accounting
guidance for income taxes. The BDS Business&#8217;s income tax provision is prepared using the separate return method. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the stand-alone financial statements as if the BDS
Business were a separate taxpayer and a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">stand-alone</FONT> enterprise. The BDS Business believes the assumptions supporting the allocation and presentation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business has reviewed its needs in the United States for possible repatriation of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and
continues to invest foreign subsidiaries&#8217; earnings outside of the United States to fund foreign investments or meet foreign working capital and property, plant and equipment expenditure needs. As a result, the BDS Business is permanently
reinvested with respect to all of its historical foreign earnings as of September&nbsp;30, 2025. Deferred taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. The determination of the amount of
the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

a number of tax jurisdictions. The BDS Business operations are included in the consolidated tax returns of BD. In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the BDS Business records accruals for uncertain tax positions,
based on the technical support for the positions, past audit experience with similar situations and the potential interest and penalties related to the matters. The effects of tax adjustments and settlements from taxing authorities are presented in
the historical combined financial statements of the BDS Business in the period to which they relate as if the BDS Business was a separate filer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS
Business maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining
whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the BDS Business evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the
realization of a deferred tax asset. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business is subject to tax on global intangible <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-taxed</FONT> income

contemplated by the agreements provide for the separation of the BDS Business from BD, the distribution of SpinCo Common Stock to BD shareholders and the subsequent merger of Merger Sub with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Waters. As a result of and immediately following these transactions, it is expected that the shares of SpinCo Common Stock will be converted into approximately 39.2% of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock on a fully diluted
basis immediately following the Merger. However, in order to preserve the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> nature of the Distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger Agreement provides that the Exchange Ratio will be

analyses are performed. The Transactions have not been consummated as of the date of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and their completion is
subject to numerous conditions, including the occurrence of certain events contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement. The pro forma purchase price allocation of the BDS Business assets to be acquired and liabilities to be
assumed is based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the completion of the Transactions,
final valuations will be performed. The completion of the valuation accounting for the Transactions and the allocation of the purchase price may be different than that of the amounts reflected in the pro forma purchase price allocation, and any
differences could be material. Such differences could affect the purchase price and allocation of the purchase price, which may affect the value assigned to the tangible or intangible assets and amount of depreciation and amortization expense
recorded in the condensed combined statements of operations. Under the Merger Agreement, BD may accelerate on a prorated basis the vesting of BD equity awards held by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> directors of BD who will
become <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> directors of Waters on or prior to the Closing Date. The unaudited pro forma adjustments do not give effect to accelerated BD vesting as acceleration is not probable as of the date of the
preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Should this acceleration occur, it will not have a material impact on the purchase price or the post-Merger share-based compensation expense. Additionally, prior to or
at the Closing, the SpinCo Financing may be replaced by the Permanent SpinCo Financing and the Waters Bridge Facility may be replaced by the Permanent Waters Financing. Since the terms of the Permanent SpinCo Financing and the Permanent Waters
Financing are currently unavailable, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared using the terms of the SpinCo Financing and the Waters Bridge Facility, as further discussed in Note&nbsp;7&#8212;Transaction
Adjustments. As a result, debt assumed, debt issuance costs, financing fees, and interest expense could significantly differ. See the section entitled &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; for additional discussion of risk factors associated with the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial information. Waters management believes that the assumptions included herein provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the Transactions as contemplated, and that the pro forma
adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Transaction accounting adjustments are intended to represent the necessary adjustments to account for the Transactions. The process of evaluating accounting
policies for conformity is still in the preliminary stages. Following the consummation of the Transactions, Waters management will perform a detailed review of the BDS Business&#8217;s accounting policies and may identify additional differences,
which could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined

structured as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The parties determined that the Reverse Morris Trust structure was the superior choice for the Transactions because, among other things, the anticipated
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> nature of the Contribution and Distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes provides a tax efficient method to separate the BDS Business from BD that is not provided by other structures, thereby
making the Reverse Morris Trust structure economically more appealing than alternative transaction structures. Further, the parties determined that a Reverse Morris Trust transaction that included the counting of Overlap Shares for purposes of
Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code, for purposes of determining how many shares would be received by former shareholders of SpinCo Common Stock prior to the Merger, was preferable because it is expected to permit Waters to issue fewer shares of its
common stock in the Merger and therefore pay a smaller Waters Special Dividend, if any, to Waters shareholders. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared assuming that no Waters Special Dividend
will be paid based on facts and circumstances existing at the time of the filing of this proxy statement/prospectus. Refer to Note 9&#8212;Additional Presentation to Reflect Possible Waters Special Dividend&#8212;for additional information on

(1)&nbsp;the issuance of Waters Common Stock in the Merger, (2)&nbsp;the proposed composition of the senior management of Waters after the Merger, (3)&nbsp;the proposed composition of the Waters Board after the Merger and (4)&nbsp;the relative
voting interests in the combined company after the Merger. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes
of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the estimated purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the BDS Business based upon Waters management&#8217;s preliminary estimate of

BDS Business. BD employs a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its operations. For all periods presented, cash and cash equivalents, and liabilities legally held by the BDS Business were included in the combined balance
sheets. BD&#8217;s debt and related interest expense have not been attributed to the BDS Business for any of the periods presented. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the BDS Business would have financed operations as a

headcount. BD considers these allocations to be reflective of the benefits received by the BDS Business during the periods presented in the historical combined financial information of the BDS Business, as required by and in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. While these allocations include an apportionment of BD&#8217;s corporate and public company costs, such allocated costs may not be indicative or necessary if the BDS Business operated as a part of another existing public company nor are they
necessarily representative of the costs expected to be incurred in the future, following the completion of the Transactions. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the BDS Business had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple
factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following

Agreement generally provides that the Exchange Ratio (designed to result in the issued and outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, immediately following the Merger, being owned approximately 39.2% by the former holders of
SpinCo Common Stock (in their capacity as such) and approximately 60.8% by the Waters shareholders (in their capacity as such) immediately prior to the Merger) will be adjusted and increased if necessary to ensure that, immediately following the
Closing, former holders of SpinCo Common Stock (including the Overlap Shareholders) own, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, at least the Threshold Percentage (which is 50.5%) of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock. See the section
entitled &#8220;The Transactions&#8212;Calculation and Adjustments to the Exchange Ratio; Amount of Waters Special Dividend&#8221; and &#8220;U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution and the Merger.&#8221; The Threshold Percentage
noted above for U.S. federal income tax purposes includes the Overlap Shareholders in the calculation of ownership percentages. For accounting purposes, contingent upon any potential adjustments, the Exchange Ratio is calculated to result in
approximately 39% of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock being owned by the former holders of SpinCo Common Stock (in their capacity as such) and approximately 61% of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock being owned by the Waters

amount that will depend in part on the number of shares being issued, but which may range in amount between $0.01 per share and approximately $4.0&nbsp;billion (the &#8220;Maximum Special Dividend&#8221;). Additionally, in certain circumstances
where the Exchange Ratio increases, the SpinCo Cash Distribution may also be reduced as a result of the inability to count the Overlap Shareholders; the SpinCo Cash Distribution may be reduced by up to $2.3&nbsp;billion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The determination of how the Overlap Shareholders&#8217; ownership will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes depends on the issuance of the IRS

the outcome of the variables will likely result in no Waters Special Dividend being paid, there can be no assurance that a result somewhere between zero (the &#8220;Minimum Special Dividend&#8221;) and the Maximum Special Dividend will be the case
and substantial uncertainty exists regarding the final determination of the Exchange Ratio and the amount, if any, of the Waters Special Dividend. As noted above, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes
were prepared assuming that no Waters Special Dividend will be paid based on facts and circumstances existing at the time of the filing of this proxy statement/prospectus. The receipt of the IRS Ruling is a condition to the Distribution and the
Merger. Therefore, the parties will not complete the Merger until the third business day following the earlier of the date on which (i)&nbsp;the IRS Ruling is received from the IRS or (ii)&nbsp;BD withdraws its request for the IRS Ruling and waives
the condition to closing. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Waters believes that the assumption of no Waters Special Dividend is the most meaningful representation based on current analysis and estimates of Overlap Shareholders.

December 5, 2025, the rate inclusive of these elements was determined to be 3.93% plus 1.225% of an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the credit rating of SpinCo; the applicable margin will increase approximately every 90 days
over the term of the SpinCo Financing for the first tranche and will remain constant for the full duration of the second tranche. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to consider the effect that a change of 0.125% to the interest rate would
have on Interest expense. A 0.125% increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a change in Interest expense of approximately $4&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;27, 2025 and $5&nbsp;million for the year ended

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described in Note 2&#8212;Basis of Presentation, the number of shares of Waters Common Stock that Waters will issue at the completion of the Transactions
may change depending on the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted as Overlap Shareholders for purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio. The Merger Agreement provides that Waters may declare a Waters Special Dividend to its
shareholders in an amount that will depend on the number of shares being issued, but which may range in amount between $0.01 per share and approximately $4.0&nbsp;billion. In the event that the Exchange Ratio is increased, requiring a Waters Special
Dividend, the SpinCo Cash Distribution will also decrease, by up to $2.3&nbsp;billion. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The extent of the Overlap Shareholders is outside of Waters&#8217; and BD&#8217;s control and will not be
known until the completion of the Transactions. The grant of the IRS Ruling is at the discretion of the IRS. Waters, BD, and SpinCo can offer no assurance concerning the extent of the Overlap Shareholders at the completion of the Transactions or
assurance that the IRS Ruling will be received. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro&nbsp;forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The additional presentation below gives effect to another possible result that will depend on the extent of the Overlap Shareholders. The possible result
below is presented as the &#8220;Maximum Special Dividend&#8221; (reflecting $4.0&nbsp;billion cash dividend paid to Waters shareholders upon completion of the Transactions and the incurrence of indebtedness under the Transaction Financing). The
Maximum Special Dividend scenario presented below assumes that Waters would fully draw upon the Waters Bridge Facility entered in connection with the Transactions to fund the Waters Special Dividend, resulting in additional financing fees and
incremental interest expense. Where the Exchange Ratio increases and requires a Waters Special Dividend of $4.0&nbsp;billion, the SpinCo Cash Distribution will decrease by $2.3&nbsp;billion, from $4.0&nbsp;billion to $1.8&nbsp;billion. If the Waters
Special Dividend is paid, Waters directors participating in the Waters Director Deferred Compensation Plan who have elected to receive fees in Common Stock Units will be kept whole pursuant to the existing anti-dilution provisions in the applicable
plan documents. Any such participation will depend upon the amount of the Waters Special Dividend, determinations made by the Compensation Committee of the Waters Board and other facts and circumstances as of the date of the dividend. Given the
mechanism to keep Waters directors whole has not been determined, no adjustment has been reflected. Further assessment of impacts to existing agreements and arrangements as a result of the Maximum Bridge Facility Dividend may affect the assumptions
set forth. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following table represents the preliminary estimate of the purchase consideration to be paid in the Transaction under the Maximum Special

Retained earnings for debt issuance and financing fees recognized as interest expense upon the extinguishment of the debt commitments. However, upon the draw of the Waters Bridge Facility in the Maximum Special Dividend scenario, all such costs are

illustrative scenario, $7&nbsp;million of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was reflected related to the debt issuance costs and financing fees for the undrawn Waters Bridge Facility extinguished as of the Closing Date. As the
Waters Bridge Facility is drawn in the Maximum Special Dividend scenario, interest expense is calculated under the effective interest method resulting in interest of $86&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;27, 2025 and
$114&nbsp;million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Therefore, an incremental adjustment increases Interest expense by $86 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and $107 million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024. Although
the term of the Waters Bridge Facility is only one year, Waters expects to replace this debt with permanent financing at or before maturity under the Maximum Special Dividend scenario. As a result, the adjustment to record interest expense assumes
the Waters Bridge Loan was outstanding for the nine months ended September&nbsp;27, 2025 and for the entire year ended December&nbsp;31, 2024. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to consider the effect of a change of 0.125% to the interest
rate would have on Interest expense. A 0.125% increase or decrease in interest rates would result in a change in Interest expense of approximately $2&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;27, 2025 and $2&nbsp;million for the year

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BD Distribution Tax Opinion will be based on, among other things, certain assumptions as well as on the
accuracy, correctness and completeness of certain covenants, representations and statements made by BD, SpinCo and Waters. If any of the assumptions, representations or statements made by BD, SpinCo or Waters are, or become, inaccurate, incorrect or
incomplete, or if BD, SpinCo or Waters breach any of their covenants, then the BD Distribution Tax Opinion may be invalid and the conclusions reached therein could be jeopardized. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to the receipt of the BD Distribution Tax Opinion, a condition to the consummation of the Distribution and the Merger is the receipt by BD of the
IRS Ruling addressing, among other things, the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted as Overlap Shareholders, the counting methodologies employed, and the sources that can be referenced to for ascertaining such shareholders, for
purposes of determining the Exchange Ratio in the Merger (for additional information on the contents of the IRS Ruling, see the section entitled &#8220;The Transactions&#8212;IRS Ruling&#8221;). If the IRS Ruling is not obtained, then this condition
will not be satisfied, and unless this condition is waived by BD, the Distribution and the Merger will not be consummated. In addition, Skadden would likely be unable to deliver the BD Distribution Tax Opinion if the IRS Ruling is not obtained due
to the uncertainties associated with ascertaining Overlap Shareholders in the absence of an IRS private letter ruling. There can be no assurance that the IRS Ruling will be received on a timely basis, and any delay or failure to obtain the IRS
Ruling may prevent the Distribution, Merger and related transactions from being completed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Contribution and Distribution, taken together, were
determined not to qualify as a &#8220;reorganization&#8221; under Sections 368(a) and 355 of the Code, BD would recognize taxable gain as if it had sold the SpinCo Common Stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value, which could result in
significant tax to BD. In addition, each U.S. holder of BD Common Stock who receives SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution would be treated as receiving a taxable distribution equal to the amount of the fair market value of the SpinCo Common Stock
received by the U.S. holder. Specifically, the full value of SpinCo Common Stock distributed to a U.S. holder of BD Common Stock would be treated first as a taxable dividend to the extent of the holder&#8217;s pro rata share of BD&#8217;s current
and accumulated earnings and profits, then as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-taxable</FONT> return of capital to the extent of the holder&#8217;s basis in the BD Common Stock, and finally as capital gain from the sale or exchange of BD
Common Stock with respect to any remaining value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Even if the Contribution and Distribution, taken together, otherwise qualify as a transaction described
in Sections&nbsp;355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code, the Distribution would be taxable to BD (but not to U.S. holders of BD Common Stock) pursuant to Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code if one or more persons acquire a 50% or greater interest (measured by
vote or value) in the BD Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock (or Waters Common Stock after the Merger), directly or indirectly, as part of a plan or series of related transactions that include the Distribution. For purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of
the Code, any acquisitions of BD Common Stock, SpinCo Common Stock or Waters Common Stock within the period beginning two years before the Distribution and ending two years after the Distribution are presumed to be part of such a plan (subject to
certain enumerated exceptions), although BD may, depending on the facts and circumstances, be able to rebut that presumption. Although the Merger will be treated as part of a plan with the Distribution for purposes of this test, the Merger, standing
alone, is not expected to cause the Distribution to be taxable to BD under Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code because holders of SpinCo Common Stock are expected to own more than 50% of Waters Common Stock following the Merger after factoring in
Overlap Shareholders&#8217; ownership percentage in SpinCo immediately prior to the Merger in accordance with the IRS Ruling, if received. The process for determining whether an acquisition is part of a plan under these rules is complex, inherently
factual in nature and subject to a comprehensive analysis of the facts and circumstances of the particular case. If the IRS were to determine that other acquisitions of BD, SpinCo or Waters Common Stock, either before or after the Distribution, were
part of a plan or series of related transactions that included the Distribution, then such determination could result in the recognition of a material amount of taxable gain by BD under Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code. In connection with the IRS
Ruling, the BD Distribution Tax Opinion, and the BD Merger Tax Opinion, BD and SpinCo will represent that the Distribution is not part of any such plan or series of related transactions, and Waters will represent that the Merger is not part of any
such plan or series of related transactions with the Distribution, in each case </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The parties will rely on the overlapping shareholder exception in Code Section&nbsp;355(e)(3)(A)(iv) to establish that one or more persons will not acquire
directly or indirectly equity representing a 50% or greater interest in BD or SpinCo for purposes of Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code. For purposes of determining whether one or more persons will acquire directly or indirectly equity representing a
50% or greater interest in BD or SpinCo, Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code provides that the amount of any Overlap Shareholder&#8217;s ownership percentage in SpinCo immediately prior to the Merger that does not decrease as a result of the Merger is
not taken into account as an acquisition of interests. However, no formal guidance exists regarding the manner in which the Overlap Shareholders may be identified or such Overlap Shareholders&#8217; ownership percentages may be determined for these
purposes. Absent receipt of the IRS Ruling, BD and Waters will not be able to make the assumptions about beneficial ownership needed to treat specified investors as Overlap Shareholders (or to determine the amount of overlapping shareholdings), and
Skadden would likely be unable to deliver the BD Distribution Tax Opinion. Accordingly, in connection with the Transactions, the parties have agreed that a condition to the consummation of the Transactions (in addition to BD&#8217;s receipt of the
BD Distribution Tax Opinion) is the receipt by BD of the IRS Ruling addressing, among other things, the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted as Overlap Shareholders, the counting methodologies employed, and the sources that can be

continuing validity of such ruling will be subject to the accuracy of factual representations and assumptions made in the ruling request. Moreover, the IRS Ruling, if received, will only describe the time, manner and methodology for measuring
Overlap Shareholders and may be subject to varying interpretations. The actual determination and calculation of Overlap Shareholders will be made by Waters, BD and their respective advisors based on the IRS Ruling, but no assurance can be given that
the IRS will agree with these determinations or calculations. If the IRS were to determine that the Merger, as a result of an error in the determination of Overlap Shareholders, or other transactions, either before or after the Transactions,
resulted in one or more persons acquiring directly or indirectly a 50% or greater interest in BD Common Stock or SpinCo Common Stock and were part of a plan or series of related transactions that included the Distribution, such determination could
result in significant tax to BD. In certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, under the Tax Matters Agreement, SpinCo (then a subsidiary of Waters) is required to indemnify BD for 100% of the taxes that result if the Distribution
becomes taxable as a result of certain actions by SpinCo or Waters and for 60.8% of the taxes that result as a result of a miscalculation of the Overlap Shareholders. If this occurs and SpinCo is required to indemnify BD, this indemnification
obligation could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on SpinCo and Waters, including with respect to financial condition and results of operations given that Waters has guaranteed the indemnification obligations of SpinCo. </P>

income tax purposes, at least the Threshold Percentage of the outstanding shares of Waters Common Stock. If additional shares of Waters Common Stock are required to be issued as a result of the Exchange Ratio adjustment, the Merger Agreement
provides that, prior to the Closing, Waters, subject to applicable law, will declare the Waters Special Dividend. Each holder of Waters Common Stock who receives the Waters Special Dividend would be treated as receiving a taxable distribution equal
to the amount of cash received by the holder. Specifically, the amount will be treated first as a taxable dividend to the extent of the holder&#8217;s pro rata share of Waters&#8217; current and accumulated earnings and profits, then as a <FONT

and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the &#8220;combined financial statements&#8221;). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the BDS Business at September&nbsp;30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2025, in conformity with

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These financial statements are the responsibility of the BDS Business&#8217;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the BDS
Business&#8217;s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the BDS Business in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The BDS Business is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the BDS Business&#8217;s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

statements were calculated as if the BDS Business filed a separate tax return as a standalone entity. As a result, the recognition and measurement of certain items reflected in the combined financial statements may be different than how they are
reflected in the Becton, Dickinson and Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements. The BDS Business recognized a combined provision for income taxes of $70&nbsp;million for the year ended September&nbsp;30, 2025, a liability for unrecognized
tax benefits of $54&nbsp;million, deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance of $222&nbsp;million and deferred tax liabilities, net of $94&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2025.</P>

<TD VALIGN="top">To evaluate the BDS Business&#8217;s income tax provision and related income tax accounts on the balance sheet, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, testing management&#8217;s assumptions and attribution of
current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities of Becton, Dickinson and Company to the BDS Business, and evaluation of applicable tax law, tax regulations and other regulatory guidance. We also involved our tax subject matter professionals
in our testing over the income tax provision, deferred income taxes, uncertain tax positions and transfer pricing. We also evaluated the adequacy of the BDS Business&#8217;s income tax disclosures included in Note 1 and 11 to the combined financial
statements in relation to these matters.</TD></TR>

Dickinson and Company (&#8220;BD&#8221; or the &#8220;Parent&#8221;) entered into a definitive agreement to combine the Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions Businesses of BD (together, the &#8220;Company&#8221; or the &#8220;BDS Business&#8221;)
through an initial <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off,</FONT> followed by a merger executed as a Reverse Morris Trust transaction with Waters Corporation (&#8220;Waters&#8221; and such transaction, the &#8220;Transaction&#8221;). In order to
effect the Transaction, Waters and BD entered into a number of agreements, including a merger and separation agreement. These agreements provide for (1)&nbsp;the separation of the BDS Business from BD&#8217;s other businesses and the subsequent
transfer of the BDS Business into Augusta SpinCo Corporation (&#8220;SpinCo&#8221;) and its subsidiaries, (2)&nbsp;a cash distribution to BD up to $4&nbsp;billion, subject to certain adjustments (the &#8220;SpinCo Cash Distribution&#8221;), (3) the
delivery to BD shareholders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of SpinCo Common Stock held by BD by way of a pro rata distribution, and (4)&nbsp;the merger of SpinCo with Beta Merger Sub, Inc. (&#8220;Merger Sub&#8221;), with SpinCo
continuing as the surviving corporation of the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Waters. The BDS Business is composed of instruments and informatics, reagents, single-cell multiomics tools, and a range of products focused on
microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics, including molecular testing, cervical cancer screening, microbiology automation, and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">point-of-care</FONT></FONT> solutions. SpinCo had
no assets, liabilities, operations, or commitments and contingencies during the periods presented in these combined financial statements and will not have any assets, liabilities, operations or commitments in respect of the BDS Business until such
business&#8217; assets and liabilities are transferred to SpinCo. These combined financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the BDS Business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Transaction is expected to close around the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, Waters
shareholder approval, compliance with applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) requirements, the receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (&#8220;IRS&#8221;) regarding certain matters
germane to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transactions, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. There are no assurances as to when the planned <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> will be completed, if at
all. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Basis of Presentation </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The combined
financial statements have been derived from BD&#8217;s historical accounting records and were prepared on a stand-alone basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;) and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the BDS Business have been reflected in these combined financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of BD, using the
historical accounting policies applied by BD. Historically, separate financial statements have not been prepared for the BDS Business and it has not operated as a stand-alone business from BD. The historical results of operations, financial position
and cash flows of the BDS Business presented in these combined financial statements may not be indicative of what they would have been had the BDS Business actually been an independent stand-alone company, nor are they necessarily indicative of the
BDS Business&#8217;s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BDS Business has historically functioned together with other BD
businesses. Accordingly, the BDS Business relied on certain of BD&#8217;s Corporate and Life Sciences segment support functions to operate. BD&#8217;s Life Sciences segment includes three organizational units, including the Biosciences, Diagnostic
Solutions, and Specimen Management Businesses. The combined financial statements include all revenues and costs directly attributable </P>

to the BDS Business, as well as an allocation of expenses related to certain BD corporate functions and shared functions within BD&#8217;s Life Sciences segment (Note 5). These expenses have been
allocated to the BDS Business on a pro rata basis of global and regional revenues, as well as headcount. The BDS Business considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services or the benefit received. However, the
allocations may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the BDS Business operated as an independent, stand-alone entity, nor are they indicative of the BDS Business&#8217;s future expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the Transaction, certain functions that BD provided to the BDS Business prior to the Transaction will either continue to be provided to the BDS
Business by BD under transition services agreements or will be performed using the BDS Business&#8217;s own resources or third-party service providers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The combined financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis and include assets and liabilities specifically attributable to the BDS Business.
Cash and equivalents and liabilities legally held by the BDS Business were included in the combined balance sheets. BD uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. As part of BD, the BDS Business has been and will
continue to be dependent upon BD for substantially all of its working capital and financing requirements. The BDS Business believes the financial support of BD is sufficient to allow it to continue to fund its operations for at least twelve months
from the issuance of these combined financial statements. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the business would have financed its operations had it been a stand-alone company separate from BD during the periods presented.
Cash pooling, related interest, and intercompany arrangements are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the combined balance sheets. These amounts are reported in <I>Net parent investment</I> as a component of Parent&#8217;s Equity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Parent&#8217;s debt and related interest expense have not been attributed to the BDS Business for any of the periods presented. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All intercompany transactions and balances within the BDS Business have been eliminated. Transactions between the BDS Business and BD have been included in
these combined financial statements and are considered related party transactions (Note 5). Transactions with Parent are reflected in Parent&#8217;s Equity as <I>Net transfers to parent </I>and in the accompanying combined balance sheets within
<I>Net parent investment</I> (Note 4). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The <I>Income tax provision</I> in the combined statements of income has been calculated as if the BDS Business
filed a separate tax return and was operating as a stand-alone company. Therefore, tax expense, cash tax payments, and items of current and deferred taxes may not be reflective of the BDS Business&#8217;s actual tax balances prior to or subsequent
to the distribution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management has concluded that the BDS Business operates in two segments based upon the information used by the chief operating
decision-maker (&#8220;CODM&#8221;) in evaluating the performance of the BDS Business and allocating resources and capital. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Financial information is
disclosed in&nbsp;millions unless otherwise noted. The BDS Business&#8217;s fiscal year ends on September 30. Within the combined financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cash and equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase. Cash and equivalents include term
deposits with <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-month</FONT> durations of $35&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2025 and 2024. The BDS Business held restricted cash of $1&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2024. There were no requirements
to hold restricted cash as of September&nbsp;30, 2025. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Revenue Recognition </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business recognizes revenue from product sales when the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon shipment or delivery,
depending on the delivery terms specified in the sales agreement. Revenues associated with certain instruments and equipment for which installation is complex, and therefore significantly affect the customer&#8217;s ability to use and benefit from
the product, are recognized upon customer acceptance of these installed products. Revenue for certain service arrangements, including extended warranty and software maintenance contracts, is recognized ratably over the contract term. When
arrangements include multiple performance obligations, the total transaction price of the contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying
each performance obligation. The BDS Business generally estimates stand-alone selling prices using its list prices and a consideration of typical discounts offered to customers. Variable consideration, such as rebates, sales discounts and sales
returns, is estimated and treated as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. These estimates are based on contractual terms, historical practices, and current trends, and are adjusted as new information becomes
available. Revenues exclude any taxes that the BDS Business collects from customers and remits to tax authorities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additional disclosures regarding the
BDS Business&#8217;s accounting for revenue recognition are provided in Note 7. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Trade Receivables </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business grants credit to customers in the normal course of business and the resulting trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The
allowance for doubtful accounts represents the BDS Business&#8217;s estimate of expected credit losses relating to trade receivables and is determined based on historical experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and other
specific account data. Amounts are written off against the allowances for doubtful accounts when the BDS Business determines that a customer account is not collectable. See Note 13 for further information. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Inventories </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Inventories are stated at the lower

equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is principally provided on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from 20 to 45 years for buildings, four to 20 years for machinery and equipment and
one to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation expense was $60 million, $62&nbsp;million and $59&nbsp;million in the fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. </P>

least annually for impairment using qualitative and quantitative models at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to
as a component. The BDS Business has two reporting units or operating segments, which are further described in Note 8. The BDS Business reviews goodwill for each reporting unit by first performing a qualitative analysis and determining if it is more
likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value. The quantitative model includes comparing the fair value of the reporting unit, estimated using an income approach, with the estimated carrying value. The annual
impairment review performed on July&nbsp;1, 2025 indicated that the reporting units&#8217; fair values exceeded their respective carrying values. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Amortized intangible assets include developed technology, customer relationships and internally developed patents. Developed technology assets represent
acquired intellectual property that is already technologically feasible upon the acquisition date or acquired <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-process</FONT> research and development assets that are completed subsequent to acquisition. These
assets are generally amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 20 years, using the straight-line method. Customer relationship assets are generally amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 15 years, using the straight-line method. Other intangibles
with finite useful lives, which include patents, are amortized over periods principally ranging from one to 20 years, using the straight-line method. Finite-lived intangible assets are periodically reviewed when impairment indicators are present to
assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. The carrying values of these finite-lived assets are compared to the undiscounted cash flows they are expected to generate, and an impairment loss is recognized in operating
results to the extent any finite-lived intangible asset&#8217;s carrying value exceeds its calculated fair value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Foreign Currency Translation

portion of the funded status of the Shared Plans. The amount recognized as expense represents an allocation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost based on the headcount of participants in the Shared Plans. Service costs are
recorded to <I>Cost of sales, Selling and administrative expense and Research and development expense </I>while all other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are recorded to <I>Other expense, net</I> in the combined

will settle in shares of BD&#8217;s Class A Common Stock and are approved by BD&#8217;s Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the BD Board. As such, all related equity account balances, other than allocations of compensation expense, remained

of BD to the BDS Business in a manner that is systematic, rational and consistent with the asset and liability method prescribed by the accounting guidance for income taxes. The BDS Business&#8217;s income tax provision is prepared using the
separate return method. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the stand-alone financial statements as if the BDS Business were a separate taxpayer and a stand-alone enterprise. The BDS Business believes the
assumptions supporting the allocation and presentation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business has reviewed its needs
in the United States for possible repatriation of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and continues to invest foreign subsidiaries&#8217; earnings outside of the United States to fund foreign investments or meet foreign working
capital and property, plant and equipment expenditure needs. As a result, the BDS Business is permanently reinvested with respect to all of its historical foreign earnings as of September&nbsp;30, 2025. Deferred taxes are not provided on
undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable because of the complexities
associated with its hypothetical calculation. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The BDS Business&#8217;s combined financial statements include general corporate expenses of BD and shared segment expenses, which were not historically
allocated to the BDS Business for certain support functions that are centralized within the Parent and Life Sciences segment and not recorded at the business unit level, such as expenses related to the executive leadership team and other functions
such as finance, human resources, information technology, facilities, and legal (collectively, &#8220;General Corporate Expenses&#8221;). For purposes of these combined financial statements, the General Corporate Expenses have been allocated to the
BDS Business. The General Corporate Expenses are included in the combined statements of income in <I>Cost of sales</I>, <I>Selling and administrative expense, Research and development expense</I> and <I>Other expense</I>, <I>net</I> and,
accordingly, as a component of<I> Net parent investment</I> on the combined balance sheets. These expenses have been allocated to the BDS Business on a pro rata basis of global revenues, regional revenues or headcount. Management believes the
assumptions underlying the combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating General Corporate Expenses from BD, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses
that would have been incurred and may not reflect the BDS Business&#8217;s combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred
if the BDS Business had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. The BDS Business does not
believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the BDS Business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. </P>

currently believes that resolving claims against the BDS Business, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the BDS
Business, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management&#8217;s view of these matters may change in the future. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome resulting from legal matters or other contingencies could have a material

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2015, legislation was enacted in Italy which requires medical technology companies to make payments to the Italian government if Italy&#8217;s medical
device expenditures exceed annual regional expenditure ceilings. The amount of these payments is based on the amount by which the regional ceilings for the given year were exceeded. Considerable uncertainty has existed regarding the enforceability
and implementation of this payback legislation since it was enacted and the BDS Business, as well as other medical device companies, have filed appeals which challenge the enforceability of this legislation. In July 2024, the Italian Constitutional
Court issued two judgments which concluded that the medical device payback legislation is constitutional. In fiscal year 2024, the BDS Business recorded an accrual of $17 million as an impact to <I>Total net sales</I> as a preliminary estimate of
the liability related to this matter, which substantially relates to years prior to fiscal year 2024. During its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the BDS Business made a payment to settle its obligations for calendar years 2015 through 2018 in
accordance with an Economy Decree issued by the Italian government in June 2025 which allowed companies, upon their closure of all pending litigation relating to amounts due for calendar years 2015 through 2018, to pay 25% of the invoiced amounts
for those years. No payment requests have been issued to the BDS Business for any subsequent years and ultimate resolution for amounts that may be due for these later years is unknown at this time. As such, it is possible that the amount of the BDS
Business&#8217;s liability could differ from its currently accrued amount. Remaining accruals for this matter are recorded within <I>Deferred Income Taxes and Other Liabilities </I>on the combined balance sheet. </P>

Business&#8217;s revenues are primarily recognized when the customer obtains control of the product sold, which is generally upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms specified in the sales agreement. Revenues associated with
certain instruments and equipment for which installation is complex, and therefore significantly affects the customer&#8217;s ability to use and benefit from the product, are recognized when customer acceptance of these installed products has been
confirmed. For certain service arrangements, including extended warranty and software maintenance contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. The majority of revenues relating to extended warranty contracts associated with
certain instruments and equipment is generally recognized within a few years, whereas deferred revenue relating to software maintenance contracts is generally recognized over a longer period. </P>

revenues are recognized. Such variable consideration includes rebates, sales discounts and sales returns. Because these deductions represent estimates of the related obligations, judgment is required when determining the impact of these revenue
deductions on gross revenues for a reporting period. Rebates provided by the BDS Business are based upon prices determined under the BDS Business agreements primarily with its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">end-user</FONT> customers. Additional
factors considered in the estimate of the rebate liability include the quantification of inventory that is either in stock at or in transit to the BDS Business&#8217;s distributors, as well as the estimated lag time between the sale of product and
the payment of corresponding rebates. Rebate liabilities classified as an offset to <I>Trade receivables, net</I> were $88 million, and $68&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Rebates recorded as a reduction of gross

expiring statutes, audit activity, tax payments, other activity, or final decisions in matters that are the subject of controversy in various taxing jurisdictions in which the BDS Business operates. However, the BDS Business does not expect changes
to have a significant effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On May&nbsp;1, 2025, the BDS Business acquired 100% of the equity of NIRvana, a North Carolina-based developer of synthetic bacteriochlorin and fluorescent
dyes. The acquisition is intended to complement the Biosciences business&#8217;s products using a flow cytometry approach that captures full emission spectra from fluorochromes to enable better separation of overlapping signals in high-parameter
panels. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The total purchase price of $15&nbsp;million includes an upfront cash payment of $12 million and an additional $3 million that is
contingent upon the sellers achieving a knowledge transfer milestone within two years following the closing date. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using the probability-weighted expected return method. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition included a developed technology intangible asset of $12 million and $1 million of other net
liabilities. The goodwill recorded from the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets was $4 million, which related to the future economic benefits arising from synergies and growth opportunities within the
Biosciences business. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The acquired business did not contribute to revenues and had an immaterial impact
to earnings for the period from May 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 14 &#8212; Subsequent Events </B></P>

monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnitee or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee or Indemnifying
Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of <U>Section</U><U></U><U>&nbsp;4.5(c)</U> shall not apply to such fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to <U>Sections 6.7</U> and <U>6.8</U>, such Party shall cooperate with

information and materials in such Party&#8217;s possession or under such Party&#8217;s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party. In addition to the foregoing, if any outside legal counsel to the Indemnitee
reasonably determines in good faith that such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ one firm of separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, and in such case the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable and

that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Agreements without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. We have also assumed that there will be no adjustment to
the Exchange Ratio other than as expressly provided in, and solely to the extent required by and in accordance with, Section&nbsp;3.1(c) of the Merger Agreement and in circumstances in which a corresponding RMT Partner Special Dividend is declared

Distribution will be decreased and the amount of the RMT Partner Special Dividend will be increased, in each case in accordance with Section&nbsp;3.1(c)(ii) of the Merger Agreement, and that any adjustment to the Exchange Ratio will not be in excess
of the Aggregate Cap (as defined in the Merger Agreement). We have also assumed that the Company and Spinco will obtain financing in accordance with the terms set forth in the Company Commitment Letter and the Spinco Commitment Letter, respectively.
We do not express any opinion as to any tax or other consequences that might result from the Proposed Transaction, nor does our opinion address any legal, tax, regulatory or accounting matters, as to which we understand that the Company has obtained
such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals. We have assumed that the Merger will qualify for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a reorganization under the provisions of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the &#8220;DGCL&#8221;) permits a corporation to indemnify any person
who is or has been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or who is or has been serving as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the
corporation, against expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys&#8217; fees and disbursements and amounts paid in settlement or in satisfaction of judgments or as fines or penalties) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which he/she may be involved by reason of the fact that he/she served or is serving in these capacities, if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action, suit or proceeding made or
brought by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, the corporation shall not indemnify such person in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation,
except for such expenses as the court may allow. Any such person who has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding or with respect to any such claim, issue or matter therein, shall be
indemnified against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The Waters Charter provides for the indemnification of directors and officers&nbsp;of Waters to the fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;145. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director or
officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer, as
applicable, (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#8217;s or officer&#8217;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or
omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective. The Waters Charter limits the liability of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as such may be amended. No amendment to or repeal of this
provision of the Waters Charter will apply to, or have any effect on, the liability or alleged liability of any director or officer for, or with respect to, any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment or
repeal. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Waters Bylaws provide that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as such may be amended, that a director of Waters
shall not be liable to Waters or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, pursuant
to certain indemnification agreements between Waters and its directors and executive officers, Waters has agreed to indemnify such directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Among other things, the
indemnification agreements provide indemnification procedures, advancement of expenses during proceedings subject to indemnification and mechanisms for reviewing executive conduct in connection with a claim for indemnification. </P>

each take or cause to be taken any action necessary to implement such resolution of the Tax Advisor. Each Separation Party shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of its representatives) incurred in connection with the
referral of the matter to the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any). All fees and expenses of the Tax Advisor (and the Preliminary Tax Advisors, if any) in connection with such referral shall be shared equally by the Separation

to it by the other Party under this Agreement with at least the same degree of care as they treat their own similar Trade Secrets and confidential information, but in no event with less than reasonable care, and (b)&nbsp;neither Party (nor any of
its Subsidiaries) may use or disclose such Trade Secrets or confidential information, as applicable, except in accordance with its respective license granted in Article&nbsp;II. Nothing herein will limit either Party&#8217;s ability to enforce its
rights against any Third Party that misappropriates or attempts to misappropriate any Trade Secret or confidential information from it, regardless of whether it is an owner or licensee of such Trade Secret or confidential information.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the Trade Secrets and confidential information of the other Party pursuant to a valid order or requirement of a court or government agency if: (i)&nbsp;such disclosing Party gives prompt written
notice to the other Party to give such other Party the opportunity to prevent disclosure or protect its Trade Secrets and confidential information, and (ii)&nbsp;such disclosing Party shall reasonably cooperate with any efforts by the other Party to
seek confidential treatment of the information to be disclosed; provided that such disclosure shall not affect the other Party&#8217;s obligations to treat the information as a Trade Secret or confidential information. </P>
