<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless the prospectus supplement otherwise provides, debt securities will be issued in the form of one or more global securities. This means

Debt securities in global form will be deposited with or on behalf of a depositary. Global securities are represented by one or more certificates for the series registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee. Debt securities in global form
may not be transferred except as a whole among the depositary, a nominee of or a successor to the depositary, or any nominee of that successor. Unless otherwise identified in the prospectus supplement, the depositary will be The Depository Trust
Company (&#147;DTC&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a depositary for a series of debt securities is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary, we will
issue that series of debt securities in registered form in exchange for the global security or securities of that series. We also may determine at any time in our discretion not to use global securities for any series. In that event, we will issue
debt securities in registered form. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Ownership of the Global Securities; Beneficial Ownership</I>. So long as the depositary or its
nominee is the registered owner of a global security, that entity will be the sole holder of the debt securities represented by that instrument. We and the trustee are only required to treat the depositary or its nominee as the legal owner of the
debt securities for all purposes under the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A purchaser of debt securities represented by a global security will not be
entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated securities, will not be considered the holder of those securities for any purpose under the indenture, and will not be able to transfer or exchange the global security, unless the prospectus
supplement provides to the contrary. As a result, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of the depositary to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. In addition, if the beneficial owner is not a direct or indirect
participant in the depositary, the beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of the participant through which it owns its beneficial interest in the global security. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event we request any
action of holders of debt securities or an owner of a beneficial interest in the global securities desires to take any action that the depositary, as the holder of the global securities, is entitled to take, the depositary would authorize the
participants to take such action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in certificated form.

principal amounts of the debt securities represented by such global securities to the accounts of participants. The accounts to be credited shall be designated by the underwriters. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities will be
limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of interests in the global securities will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the
depositary (with respect to participants&#146; interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the global securities through such participants). </P>

the global securities, will credit immediately participants&#146; accounts with payment in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global securities as shown on the records of the depositary. We
also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global securities held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participants. None of us, the trustee or any agent of us or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the global securities for any debt securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for
any other aspect of the relationship between the depositary and its participants or the relationship between such participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the global securities owned through such participants. </P>

at any time the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or (ii)&nbsp;we in our discretion at any time determine not to have all of the debt securities represented by the global securities and we notify the trustee
thereof. Any global securities that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated debt securities registered in such names as the depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, the global securities are
not exchangeable, except for a global security or global securities of the same aggregate denominations to be registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Medtronic plc and Medtronic Luxco are organized and existing under the laws of countries other than the United States. In addition, certain of
the directors and officers of these entities may reside outside of the United States and a significant portion of their assets may be located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process
on Medtronic plc or Medtronic Luxco or to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in U.S. courts against Medtronic plc or Medtronic Luxco or those persons based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws or other laws.
Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Luxembourg and Ireland, as applicable, will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against the domestic companies or their directors or officers under the securities
or other laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in those jurisdictions against Medtronic plc or Medtronic Luxco or their directors or officers under the securities or other laws of those jurisdictions. </P>

</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have been advised by counsel that the United States currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal
recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state
securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Ireland. A judgment of the U.S. courts will be enforced by the Irish courts if the following general requirements are met: (i)&nbsp;the procedural rules of the U.S. court must have been
observed and the U.S. court must have had jurisdiction in relation to the particular defendant according to Irish conflict of law rules (the submission to jurisdiction by the defendant would satisfy this rule); and (ii)&nbsp;the judgment must be
final and conclusive and the decree must be final and unalterable in the court which pronounces it. A judgment can be final and conclusive even if it is subject to appeal or even if an appeal is pending. Where however, the effect of lodging an
appeal under the applicable law is to stay execution of the judgment, it is possible that, in the meantime, the judgment should not be actionable in Ireland. It remains to be determined whether final judgment given in default of appearance is final
and conclusive. However, the Irish courts may refuse to enforce a judgment of the U.S. courts which meets the above requirements for one of the following reasons: (a)&nbsp;if the judgment is not for a definite sum of money; (b)&nbsp;if the judgment
was obtained by fraud; (c)&nbsp;if the enforcement of the judgment in Ireland would be contrary to natural or constitutional justice; (d)&nbsp;if the judgment is contrary to Irish public policy or involves certain United States laws which will not
be enforced in Ireland; or (e)&nbsp;if jurisdiction cannot be obtained by the Irish courts over the judgment debtors in the enforcement proceedings by personal service in Ireland or outside Ireland under Order 11 of the Superior Courts Rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, in the event of any proceedings being brought in an Irish court in respect of a monetary obligation expressed to be payable in a
currency other than Euro, an Irish court would have power to give judgment expressed as an order to pay a currency other than Euro. However, enforcement of the judgment against any party in Ireland would be available only in Euro and for such
purposes all claims or debts would be converted into Euro. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Certain Insolvency Considerations </I></B></P>

creditor or any surety or guarantor for the debt due, to such creditor a preference over other creditors shall be deemed to be an unfair preference and will be invalid if (a)&nbsp;a winding up of the company commences within six months of doing the
act and (b)&nbsp;the company is at the time of the commencement of the winding up unable to pay its debts (taking into account the contingent and prospective liabilities). Where the conveyance, mortgage, delivery of goods, payment, execution or

they are not always successful, therefore are not considered to permit a turnaround of the debtor and generally lead to bankruptcy proceedings. They are occasionally applied to companies, in particular holding or finance companies, which are part of
an international group and whose inability to meet obligations results from a default of group companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Preventive Composition

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A Luxembourg Obligor may enter into preventive composition proceedings (<I>concordat pr&eacute;ventif de la faillite</I>) in order to resolve
its financial difficulties by entering into an agreement with its creditors, the purpose of which is to avoid bankruptcy. Preventive composition proceedings may only be applied for by a company which is in financial difficulty. Similar to controlled
management proceedings, the preventive composition proceedings are not available if the company has already been declared bankrupt by the Commercial District Court or if the Luxembourg Obligor is acting in bad faith. The application for the
preventive composition proceedings can only be made by the Luxembourg Obligor and must be supported by proposals of preventive composition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Commercial District Court will delegate to a delegated judge (<I>juge d&eacute;l&eacute;gu&eacute;</I>) the duty to verify, and to prepare
a report on, the situation of the Luxembourg Obligor. Based on such report, the Commercial District Court will decide whether or not to pursue the preventive composition proceedings. If the Commercial District Court considers that the procedure
should not be pursued, it will in the same judgment declare the bankruptcy of the company (which bankruptcy may also be declared during the preventive composition proceedings if the conditions for the composition proceedings are not met). If the
Commercial District Court considers that the procedure may be pursued, it will set the place, date and hour of a meeting (<I>assembl&eacute;e concordataire</I>) at which the creditors will be convened. The delegated judge will make its report at the
meeting (<I>assembl&eacute;e concordataire</I>). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preventive composition may only be adopted if a majority of the creditors
representing, by their unchallenged claims, three quarters of the Luxembourg Obligor&#146;s debt, has adhered to the proposal and if the preventive composition has been homologated by the Commercial District Court. Creditors benefiting from
mortgages (<I>hypoth&egrave;ques</I>), privileges (<I>privil&egrave;ges</I>) or pledges (<I>gages</I>) only have a deliberating voice in the operations of the concordat, if they renounce the benefit of their mortgages, privileges or pledges. The
vote in favor of the concordat entails renunciation. The renunciation may be limited by the secured creditors to only a portion (but representing at least 50% in value) of their claims with corresponding voting rights. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preventive composition has no effect on the claims secured by a mortgage, a privilege or a pledge and on claims by the tax authorities. If
the application results in a preventive composition arrangement sanctioned by the Commercial District Court, the preventive composition could still either be annulled (if it has not been executed) or terminated (in case of fraud or bad faith of the
company). In such scenarios, the Commercial District Court may adjudicate bankrupt the Luxembourg Obligor. The bankruptcy judgment can decide to set the date of cessation of payment to the date of the application for the preventive composition
proceedings. If that date is less than six months prior to the bankruptcy judgment, the court can of course set the cessation of payment date at six months prior to its judgment. </P>

situation of the applicant, even though showing a loss, presents serious elements of reestablishment of the balance between its assets and its debts. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purpose of the suspension of payments proceedings is to allow a business undertaking experiencing financial difficulties to suspend its

their claims, three quarters of the company&#146;s debts (excluding claims secured by privilege (<I>privil&egrave;ge</I>), mortgage (<I>hypoth&egrave;que</I>) or pledge (<I>gage</I>)). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The suspension of payments only applies to those liabilities which have been assumed by the debtor prior to obtaining the suspension of

stay on enforcement does not extend to preferred creditors, or to creditors which are secured by mortgages (<I>hypoth&egrave;ques</I>), pledges (<I>gages</I>) or financial collateral arrangements governed by the Luxembourg Collateral Act. The
Luxembourg Obligor continues to manage its own business under the supervision of a court-appointed administrator who must approve most of the transactions carried out by the Luxembourg Obligor. </P>

incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg. Article 102 of the Luxembourg Commercial Code of 10&nbsp;August 1915 (as amended) (the &#147;1915 Law&#148;), provides that a soci&eacute;t&eacute; en commandite par actions, such as Medtronic Luxco,
&#147;is a company established by contract, for a limited or unlimited period, between one or more shareholders who are indefinitely and jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the company and one or more shareholders who only contribute
a specific share of the capital.&#148; (Translated into English.) </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article 107 of the 1915 law provides that &#147;Management of the
company is carried out by one or more managers, who may but need not be unlimited members, designated in accordance with the articles. Managers who are not unlimited members shall be liable in accordance with Article 59.&#148; (Translated into
English.) </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The manager of Medtronic Luxco is Medtronic Global Holdings G.P. S.&agrave; r.l. (&#147;Medtronic GP&#148;), its unlimited

deriving from the liabilities of the company (explicitly for <I>soci&eacute;t&eacute;s anonymes</I> (Public limited companies) per Article 58 of the 1915 Law). This is an application of the general rules pursuant to which a proxy does not bind
himself and the person represented by the proxy must execute the obligations undertaken in its name by the proxy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Managers are however
responsible for damages caused by their fault. This responsibility may exist towards the company, towards shareholders and towards third parties, depending on the circumstances and the basis of action. Actions may notably be based on either of the
following provisions: (i)&nbsp;Article 59 para. 1 of the 1915 Law (<I>faute de gestion</I>, mismanagement), (ii) Article 59 para. 2 of the 1915 Law (violation of legal or statutory provisions), or (iii)&nbsp;Articles 1382, 1383 of the Luxembourg
Civil Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article 59 of the 1915 Law reads as follows: </P>

conferred upon them and for the faults committed in their management. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">They shall be jointly and severally liable towards the company and
any third parties for damages resulting from the violation of this law or the articles of the company. They shall be discharged from such liability in the case of a violation to which they were not a party provided no misconduct is attributable to
them and they have reported such violation to the first general meeting after they had acquired knowledge thereof.&#148; (Translated into English.) </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Besides the three cases above, managers may incur liability under criminal law or, in certain circumstances, in case of bankruptcy. </P>

meet their obligations, and (iii)&nbsp;minority shareholders are not entitled to initiate the actio mandati on behalf of the company against its managers. </P>

is entitled, upon written request to the corporation, to payment or reimbursement by the corporation of reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the

promptly, and in any event within thirty days, upon the written request of the Indemnitee If the corporation does not make a determination within thirty days that indemnification of the Indemnitee is improper in the circumstances because he/she has
not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in MBCA or if the corporation fails to respond within thirty days to the Indemnitee&#146;s written request for indemnification or advancement of expenses, the corporation shall be deemed to have
approved such request. If the corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty days, the right to indemnification or advances

where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in the MBCA, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the

state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit, or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a &#147;contract right&#148; may not be modified retroactively
