On February 10, Amit Banati notified Kenvue Inc. (the “Company”) that he will step down from his position as Chief Financial Officer, effective May 12, 2026, to
pursue an opportunity to serve as the chief executive officer of another company.
Prior to Mr. Banati’s departure, the Company intends to appoint a successor who will serve as principal financial officer on an interim basis in light of the
Company’s pending transaction with Kimberly-Clark Corporation. Over the next three months, Mr. Banati will work in close partnership on transition matters with the Company’s leadership team, including the financial and accounting teams.
Cautions Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding statements about
the timing of Mr. Banati’s departure from the Company, the work he will do in the next three months and the Company’s intention to appoint a successor on an interim basis in light of the Company’s pending transaction with Kimberly-Clark
Corporation. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “plans,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “aims,” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things:
discussions of future operations and expected costs and workforce reduction. The reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of future
events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results and financial condition could vary materially from the expectations and projections of the Company and its affiliates.
Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from expected results include, among others, risks around the transition of Mr. Banati’s responsibilities to a successor.
A list and descriptions of additional risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings, available at www.kenvue.com or on request from the Company. The Company and its affiliates undertake no obligation to update
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise, other than as required by law.
