    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">On August 22, 2022, Becton, Dickinson and Company (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announced the early tender results for its previously announced tender
      offers (collectively, the &#8220;Tender Offers&#8221;) to purchase for cash, subject to prioritized acceptance levels, series-specific aggregate principal amount caps, if any (the &#8220;Offer SubCaps&#8221;), and proration if applicable, up to $500,000,000 aggregate
      principal amount (the &#8220;Aggregate Offer Cap&#8221;) of its (i) 3.794% Senior Notes due 2050 (the &#8220;3.794% Senior Notes&#8221;), (ii) 7.000% Senior Debentures due 2027 (the &#8220;7.000% Senior Debentures&#8221;), (iii) 6.700% Senior Debentures due 2028 (the &#8220;6.700% Senior
      Debentures&#8221;), (iv) 6.000% Senior Notes due 2039 (the &#8220;6.000% Senior Notes&#8221;), (v) 5.000% Senior Notes due 2040 (the &#8220;5.000% Senior Notes&#8221;), (vi) 4.685% Senior Notes due 2044 (the &#8220;4.685% Senior Notes&#8221;) and (vii) 4.669% Senior Notes due 2047 (the
      &#8220;4.669% Senior Notes&#8221; and, together with the 3.794% Senior Notes, 7.000% Senior Debentures, 6.700% Senior Debentures, 6.000% Senior Notes, 5.000% Senior Notes and 4.685% Senior Notes, the &#8220;Securities&#8221;), and the exercise of its previously disclosed
      right to amend the Tender Offers to increase the Offer SubCap applicable to the 3.794% Senior Notes.</div>

    </div>

    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">On August 22, 2022, the Company also announced the pricing for the Tender Offers. The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the offer to
      purchase, dated August 8, 2022, as amended and supplemented by the Company&#8217;s press release on August 22, 2022 (as so amended, the &#8220;Offer to Purchase&#8221;) announcing the upsizing of the Offer SubCap applicable to the 3.794% Senior Notes, which sets forth
      the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers.</div>

    <div><br />
    </div>

    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">In order to receive the Early Tender Payment (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for tendering early, holders of Securities must have
      validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Securities by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2022 (the &#8220;Early Tender Date&#8221;). At the Early Tender Date, holders had tendered and not validly withdrawn $343,738,000 of the $750,000,000
      aggregate principal amount of outstanding 3.794% Senior Notes, $51,946,000 of the $168,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.000% Senior Debentures, $54,689,000 of the $167,050,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.700% Senior
      Debentures, $127,144,000 of the $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.000% Senior Notes, $34,106,000 of the $124,984,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.000% Senior Notes, $344,466,000 of the $1,024,998,000 aggregate
      principal amount of outstanding 4.685% Senior Notes and $485,103,000 of the $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.669% Senior Notes. Because the aggregate principal amount of 3.794% Senior Notes validly tendered and not validly
      withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the applicable Offer SubCap and the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Offer Cap, the
      Company will accept for purchase the 3.794% Senior Notes and the 4.685% Senior Notes on a prorated basis.</div>

    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 24.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">All conditions, including the financing condition, in respect of the Tender Offers were satisfied or waived by the Company at the Early
      Tender Date. The Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for the Securities that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on August 23, 2022 (the &#8220;<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><u>Early Settlement Date</u></font>&#8221;).</div>

    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 24.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">As previously disclosed in the Offer to Purchase, because the aggregate principal amount of 3.794% Senior Notes due 2050 validly tendered
      and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the applicable Offer SubCap and the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate
      Offer Cap, the Company will accept for purchase the 3.794% Senior Notes due 2050 and the 4.685% Senior Notes due 2044 on a prorated basis as set forth in the table above. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, Securities tendered and not
      accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder&#8217;s account. Since the Tender Offers are fully subscribed at the Early Tender Date, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Securities tendered after the Early
      Tender Date on a subsequent settlement date.</div>

    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 24.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">The applicable consideration (the &#8220;<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><u>Total Consideration</u></font>&#8221;)
      offered per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable
      fixed spread for such Securities specified in the table above plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above as displayed on the applicable page on the Bloomberg
      Bond Trader FIT1 page at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 22, 2022. The Company expects to announce the pricing of the Tender Offers later today.</div>

    </div>
    <div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 24.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Only holders of Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Securities at or prior to the Early Tender Date are
      eligible to receive the Total Consideration for Securities accepted for purchase. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but
      not including, the Early Settlement Date (&#8220;<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><u>Accrued Interest</u></font>&#8221;).</div>
