<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. (April 1, 2022)</B> &#151; BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today
announced that it has completed its spinoff of Embecta Corp. (embecta) (NASDAQ: EMBC), which holds BD&#146;s former Diabetes Care business and is now one of the largest pure-play diabetes management companies in the world.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The completion of this spinoff is a significant achievement for both BD and embecta,&#148; said Tom Polen, chairman, CEO and president of BD.
&#147;While BD is proud of its heritage in the diabetes care category, we are just as excited to see our legacy advanced by embecta as a newly independent, publicly-traded corporation. Moving forward, each of our organizations will be able to focus
on investment and innovation in our respective core businesses, support our customers and the patients they serve, drive strategic growth and enhance long-term shareholder value.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The spinoff of embecta demonstrates BD&#146;s ongoing commitment to the company&#146;s BD 2025 strategy, which includes its three strategic pillars of Grow,
Simplify and Empower. The strategic rationale for the spinoff was to create two, independent companies with attractive long-term value for BD shareholders and enhanced strategic, operational and financial characteristics. Each company will focus on
its core business and product portfolios, with BD maintaining its category leadership positions across its BD Medical, BD Life Sciences and BD Interventional segments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">embecta will focus on building on its solid foundation as the leading producer of diabetes injection devices, investing in both organic and inorganic growth
opportunities and improving the lives of people living with diabetes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shareholders will receive one share of embecta common stock for every five common
shares of BD that they held as of the close of business on March&nbsp;22, 2022, the record date for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off,</FONT> with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of embecta common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BD retains no ownership interest in embecta, which will begin trading today on the NASDAQ under the symbol EMBC on a &#147;regular way&#148; basis. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Perella Weinberg Partners LP, Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen&nbsp;&amp; Katz, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher&nbsp;&amp; Flom LLP,
Baker McKenzie, and PricewaterhouseCoopers are acting as advisors to BD in connection with the transaction. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As the aggregate purchase price of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date exceeded the Maximum Tender Payment,
there will be no Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. As described in the Offer to Purchase, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on
or before the Early Tender Date will be accepted based on the acceptance priority levels noted in the table above (the &#147;Acceptance Priority Levels&#148;). As the aggregate purchase price of the Floating Rate Notes due June 2022, which had the
highest Acceptance Priority Level, exceeded the Maximum Tender Payment, only Floating Rate Notes due June 2022 will be accepted for purchase, and none of the other Notes referenced above will be accepted for purchase. Because the amount of Floating
Rate Notes due June 2022 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Maximum Tender Payment, such Floating Rate Notes due June 2022 will be accepted on a pro rata basis as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, subject to a proration factor
of approximately 44.75%. Notes tendered and not purchased on March&nbsp;31, 2022 (the &#147;Early Settlement Date&#148;) will be returned to holders promptly after the Early Settlement Date. The consideration to be paid for the Floating Rate Notes
due June 2022 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn per $1,000 principal amount of the such Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Offer is the amount set forth in the table above under the heading
&#147;Total Consideration.&#148; The amounts set forth in the table above under &#147;Total Consideration&#148; includes an early tender premium of&nbsp;$50&nbsp;per&nbsp;$1,000&nbsp;principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the &#147;Early
Tender Premium&#148;). Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable &#147;Total Consideration&#148;
set forth in the table above under the heading &#147;Total Consideration,&#148; which includes the Early Tender Premium. The Total Consideration has been determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase. All holders of Notes accepted for
purchase will also receive Accrued Interest from, and including, the most recent applicable interest payment date preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date, if and when such Notes are accepted for payment.
