Exchange Offers On October 27, 2026, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”), announced that it has extended the expiration date of its previously announced offers to exchange (each, an “Exchange Offer” and, collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) any and all outstanding notes (the “Kenvue Notes”) issued by Kenvue Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kenvue”), for up to $7.0 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by Kimberly-Clark. Kimberly-Clark extended such expiration date from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 27, 2026, to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 2, 2026 (as the same may be further extended, the “Expiration Date”).
