    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">In May 2020, Becton, Dickinson and Company, a New Jersey corporation (&#8220;BD&#8221;), completed a public offering of 1.5 million shares of BD&#8217;s 6.00% Mandatory
      Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B (the &#8220;Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock&#8221;), ownership of which is held in the form of depositary shares (&#8220;Depositary Shares&#8221;), each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred
      Stock.&#160; Unless earlier converted or redeemed, each share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on June 1, 2023 (subject to postponement in certain cases, the &#8220;mandatory conversion date&#8221;).</div>

    <div><br /></div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Initially, the minimum conversion rate and the maximum conversion rate were 3.4722 and 4.1666 shares of BD common stock per share of the Mandatory Convertible
      Preferred Stock, respectively (which correspond to approximately 0.1736 and 0.2083 shares of BD common stock per Depositary Share, respectively), subject to anti-dilution adjustments, including adjustments for cash dividends paid in excess of regular
      quarterly dividend payments of $0.79 per share of BD common stock and adjustments for distributions of equity interests in any subsidiary or other business unit of BD.</div>

    <div><br /></div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">On April 14, 2022, in connection with the spin-off transaction of Embecta Corp., BD notified holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that
      adjustments had been made with respect to the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and that as a result the new minimum conversion rate and maximum conversion rate of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were 3.5572 and 4.2686 shares of BD
      common stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively (which correspond to approximately 0.1779 and 0.2134 shares of BD common stock per Depositary Share, respectively) and the new threshold for quarterly dividends was $0.77
      per share of BD common stock.</div>

    <div><br /></div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">As permitted by the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, BD to date has deferred adjustments otherwise required to be made for each of its
      quarterly cash dividend payments in excess of $0.77 per share of BD common stock since the spin-off transaction.&#160; BD will account for the cumulative effect of the previously deferred adjustments, and make required corresponding adjustments to other
      terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, on the mandatory conversion date.&#160; As a result, the new minimum conversion rate and maximum conversion rate of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be 3.5641 and 4.2770 shares of BD common
      stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively (which correspond to approximately 0.1782 and 0.2139 shares of BD common stock per Depositary Share, respectively).</div>

    <div><br /></div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">The final conversion rate on the mandatory conversion date (the &#8220;mandatory conversion rate&#8221;) will be 3.9697 shares of BD common stock per share of Mandatory
      Convertible Preferred Stock (which corresponds to approximately 0.1985 shares of BD common stock per Depository Share).&#160; The mandatory conversion rate was calculated based on the average volume-weighted average price per share of BD common stock (as
      determined pursuant to the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) for the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, May 1, 2023, and ending on, and including, May 26, 2023.</div>
