Item 9B. Other Information

As reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022, Medtronic has engaged in certain activities that it is required to disclose pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In particular, during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022, Medtronic engaged in certain regulatory activities involving Russia’s Federal Security Service (“FSB”) related to its medical devices that were expressly authorized by the U.S. Government under applicable economic sanctions regulations.

During the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022, in the normal course of business and consistent with the OFAC authorizations as in effect at the time, Medtronic Russia filed a total of nine notifications with the FSB, as required under local Russian law for the import of medical devices that make use of encryption functionality. These activities did not directly result in any revenues or profits for Medtronic. Medtronic did not engage in these activities during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. To the extent that notifications with the FSB remain permissible under U.S. law, Medtronic may decide to continue engaging in such activities for the limited purposes of complying with local law requirements in Russia.
