Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
During the fiscal three months ended October 1, 2023, our Board authorized a share repurchase program, under which we are authorized to repurchase up to 27,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The intent of this repurchase program is to offset dilution from the vesting or exercise of equity-based awards under the Kenvue 2023 Plan (as defined in Note 7, “Stock-Based Compensation,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein). On November 2, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which K-C will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for a combination of stock and cash in a series of transactions, as described in Note 1, “Description of the Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Pending Transaction with Kimberly-Clark,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the exceptions therein, we are not permitted to repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of our equity interests without the prior written consent of K-C. No shares have been repurchased subsequent to the execution of the Merger Agreement.
