Other Events. On May 1, 2001, at the Baxter International Inc.

Subsequently, the Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The increase in the authorized shares of common stock enables Baxter to proceed with the 2-for-1 stock split that was previously announced on February 27, 2001. The stock split will be in the form of a stock distribution and additional shares of Common Stock will be distributed beginning on May 30, 2001 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 9, 2001.
