Kenvue Inc. (NYSE: KVUE) (“Kenvue”) announced that it intends to file a Form S-4 Registration Statement today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with Johnson & Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) proposed offer to exchange up to 1,533,830,450 shares of Kenvue common stock that it owns, representing 80.1% of the total outstanding shares of Kenvue common stock, for outstanding shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock. In the exchange offer, Johnson & Johnson shareholders will have the opportunity to exchange all, some, or none of their shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock for shares of Kenvue common stock, subject to the terms of the offer.
