Filed by Kenvue Inc. pursuant to rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended Subject Company: Johnson & Johnson Commission File No.: 1-3215 Dear Kenvuers, Today, Johnson & Johnson announced its intent to split-off at least 80.1% of the shares of Kenvue Inc. (“Kenvue”) through an exchange offer. As a reminder, Johnson & Johnson currently holds approximately 89.6% of Kenvue’s common stock, and therefore is the majority shareholder of Kenvue. Through this exchange offer, Johnson & Johnson shareholders can choose 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. If the exchange offer (including all related transactions) is consummated, referred to as the “final separation”, Johnson & Johnson will no longer be the controlling shareholder of Kenvue, and Kenvue will operate as a separate and fully independent company. As a Kenvuer, if you hold any shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock, this exchange offer may be relevant to you and the stock you hold. Information regarding the effect of the exchange offer on the U.S./Puerto Rico Savings Plans, Long-Term Incentive awards, your stock and voluntary participation in the exchange offer, as well as who to contact for more information, is available on The Vue. This exchange offer marks an important step towards Kenvue’s final separation from Johnson & Johnson and for our future as the world’s largest pure-play consumer health company by revenue. In the meantime, I ask that you continue to focus on delivering your 2023 Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and on helping consumers around the world take care of their health. Thank you for all you are doing to ensure the success of Kenvue as a standalone company and in helping people to realize the extraordinary power of everyday care.
