<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;30, 2018, Stryker Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) completed a public offering (the &#147;Offering&#148;) of &#128;300,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of the Company&#146;s Floating Rate Notes due 2020 (the &#147;Floating Rate Notes&#148;), &#128;550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company&#146;s 1.125% Notes due 2023 (the &#147;2023 Notes&#148;), &#128;750,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company&#146;s 2.125% Notes due 2027 (the &#147;2027 Notes&#148;) and &#128;650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company&#146;s 2.625% Notes due 2030 (the &#147;2030 Notes&#148; and, collectively with the
Floating Rate Notes, 2023 Notes and 2027 Notes, the &#147;Notes&#148;). The Notes were offered by the Company pursuant to its Automatic Shelf Registration Statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-3</FONT> (File <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-209526)</FONT> and the Prospectus included therein, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February&nbsp;12, 2016 and supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement dated November&nbsp;27, 2018. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated November&nbsp;27, 2018 (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;),
among the Company, Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas, Goldman Sachs&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and the several other underwriters named in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the &#147;Underwriters&#148;), providing for the issuance
and sale by the Company to the Underwriters of the Notes. The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the
Underwriters against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued under an Indenture,
dated January&nbsp;15, 2010 (the &#147;Base Indenture&#148;), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;), as supplemented by the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Sixteenth Supplemental
Indenture, the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture and the Eighteenth Supplemental Indenture, each dated November&nbsp;30, 2018, between the Company and the Trustee (collectively, the &#147;Supplemental Indentures,&#148; and the Base Indenture as so
supplemented, the &#147;Indenture&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 2023 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.125% per year, the 2027 Notes will bear interest at a rate of
2.125% per year, the 2030 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per year and the Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate equivalent to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">3-month</FONT> EURIBOR plus 0.28% per year, provided,
however, that the minimum interest rate for the Floating Rate Notes shall be zero. Interest on each of the 2023 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes is payable on November&nbsp;30 of each year, commencing on November&nbsp;30, 2019. Interest on the
Floating Rate Notes is payable on March&nbsp;1, May&nbsp;30, August&nbsp;30 and November&nbsp;30 of each year, commencing on March&nbsp;1, 2019. The 2023 Notes will mature on November&nbsp;30, 2023, the 2027 Notes will mature on November&nbsp;30,
2027, the 2030 Notes will mature on November&nbsp;30, 2030 and the Floating Rate Notes will mature on November&nbsp;30, 2020. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may redeem any
series of the Notes at its option, in whole, but not in part, for cash, at any time prior to their respective maturities at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not
including, the redemption date, if certain tax events occur that would obligate the Company to pay additional amounts as described in the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem each of the 2023 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes prior to their
respective maturities at the Company&#146;s option for cash, any time in whole or from time to time in part, at redemption prices that include accrued and unpaid interest and the applicable make-whole premium, as specified in the Indenture. However,
no make-whole premium will be paid for redemption of the 2023 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes on or after the respective par call dates specified in the Indenture. The Floating Rate Notes are not redeemable at the Company&#146;s option, other than
following a tax event as described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The public offering price of the 2023 Notes was 99.884% of the principal amount, the public offering price of
the 2027 Notes was 99.781% of the principal, the public offering price of the 2020 Notes was 98.988% of the principal amount and the public offering price of the Floating Rate Notes was 100.073% of the principal amount. The Company expects to
receive net proceeds of approximately $2,527&nbsp;million, after deducting the underwriting discount and its expenses related to the Offering. The Company intends to use these net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of
all of the $500&nbsp;million principal amount outstanding of the Company&#146;s 1.800% Notes due January&nbsp;15, 2019 at maturity and the repayment of all of the $750&nbsp;million principal amount outstanding of the Company&#146;s 2.000% Notes due
March&nbsp;8, 2019 at maturity, as well as the repayment of any commercial paper then outstanding. </P>
