3.550% NOTE DUE 2044

(herein called the “Notes”)

Section 1. General. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities of Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), issued under and pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 15, 1987, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to BNY Midwest Trust Company which succeeded Harris Trust and Savings Bank), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 1, 1990 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 9, 2017 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes, this Note being subject to all terms therein contained. This Note is an unsecured obligation of the Company and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company.

Section 2. Payments.

(a) Interest on this Note will be payable annually on June 1 of each year (the “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on June 1, 2024 and at the Maturity Date.

Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for this Note will include accrued interest from and including May 20, 2024 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date, except that at the Maturity Date the interest payments will include accrued interest from and including the Original Issue Date, or from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date.

(b) All payments of interest and principal, including payments made upon any redemption of this Note, will be payable in euro. If, on or after May 14, 2024, the euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of this Note will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to the Company or so used. The amount payable on any date in euro will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the most recent euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate available on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the relevant payment date, as reported by Bloomberg. Any payment in respect of this Note so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Note or the Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall have any responsibility for any calculation or conversion in connection with the forgoing.

(c) The Bank of New York Mellon (London Branch) will initially act as paying agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon will initially act as security registrar. The Company may change any paying agent or security registrar without notice. The Company may act in any such capacity.

Section 3. Defeasance. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee money or eligible government obligations sufficient to make timely payments of all principal of and interest on the Notes, the Company will be discharged from the restrictive covenants in the Indenture or possibly from all payment obligations under the Indenture and this Note, provided certain conditions set forth in the Indenture are met by the Company. If the Company is so discharged from its payment obligations with respect to this Note, the holder would be able to look only to the deposited money or government obligations for payment. Eligible government obligations are those backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States.

Section 4. Restrictive Covenants. This Note is an unsecured general obligation of the Company. The Indenture does not limit other unsecured debt. It does limit certain debt and sale and leaseback transactions if the debt is secured by liens on or the property leased is manufacturing property located in the continental United States which is of material importance to the Company’s consolidated business. The limitations are subject to a number of important definitions, qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Indenture. Once a year the Company must report to the Trustee on compliance with the limitations.

Section 5. Events of Default. An Event of Default is: default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Notes; default in payment of principal on the Notes; failure by the Company for 90 days after notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture or this Note; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Section 6. Optional Redemption.

(a) Prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), the Company may, at any time and from time to time, redeem this Note at its option, in whole or in part, upon at least 15 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(c) Installments of interest on Notes being redeemed that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable on the interest payment date to the holders as of the close of business on the relevant regular record date according to the Notes and the Indenture.

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a German government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of this Note, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion determines that such similar bond is not in issue, such other German government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, German government bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the yield to maturity, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, of the applicable Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of such Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.

This Note is subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable to the Notes. Except as specifically provided under Section 7 and Section 8 hereof, the Company will not be required to make any payment for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any government or political subdivision.

Section 8. Redemption for Tax Reasons. If, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated under the laws) of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States), or any change in, or amendments to, an official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after May 14, 2024, the Company becomes or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay additional amounts as described herein under Section 7 with respect to this Note, then the Company may at its option redeem, in whole, but not in part, this Note on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued but unpaid on this Note to the date fixed for redemption.

Section 9. Amendments and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, provisions of the Indenture or this Note may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, and any existing default with respect to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes. Without the consent of any holder, the Indenture or this Note may be amended to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for assumption of Company obligations to the holder in the case of a merger or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of the holder of this Note.

Section 10. Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in the minimum denomination of €100,000 and in any larger amount that is an integral multiple of €1,000.

Any Notes issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global note will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the Trustee or other relevant agent of the Trustee. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global note that had been held by the depositary.
