Item 8.01 Other Events

As disclosed in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement of Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (the “Company”), dated as of April 2, 2010 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Company is holding its annual general meeting of stockholders on May 11, 2010 (the “Meeting”). The purpose of the Meeting, among other matters, is to elect nine director nominees to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), including two new independent director nominees, Mmes. Kimberly A. Casiano and Anna C. Catalano (the “New Directors”). In anticipation of the election at the Meeting of the New Directors to the Board, Mr. James M. Cornelius provided notice to the Company that he has resigned from each of the Board’s Compensation and Management Development Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (collectively, the “Committees”), effective as of April 30, 2010. Mr. Cornelius will continue to serve as a director of the Company and as the Company’s non-executive Chairman of the Board. The Company expects that, after the Meeting, the Board will appoint the New Directors to the Committees. As a result, each of the Committees, as well as the Board’s Audit Committee, will consist solely of “independent” directors in accordance with the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), well in advance of the December 23, 2010 deadline for such compliance imposed by the NYSE listing standards.
