May&nbsp;31, 2023, will transition to his prior role as senior vice president, chief accounting officer and controller. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:11pt; font-family:ARIAL">&#147;Joel is a seasoned

continue to advance the transformational actions announced earlier this year to help fuel enhanced growth, innovation and value for the patients, clinicians, investors and numerous other stakeholder communities that depend on us.&#148; Added
Mr.&nbsp;Almeida, &#147;I&#146;d also like to thank Brian for serving as our interim CFO; we&#146;re grateful for his contributions during the transition and look forward to his continued leadership in Baxter&#146;s Finance organization.&#148; </P>
