On November 2, 2026, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Kimberly-Clark”), completed its previously announced acquisition of Kenvue, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 2, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Kenvue, Kimberly-Clark, Vesta Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark (“First Merger Sub”), and the Company (formerly known as Vesta Sub II, LLC), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (a) First Merger Sub merged with and into Kenvue (the “First Merger”), with Kenvue surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark (the “Initial Surviving Company”), and (b) immediately following the First Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the Initial Surviving Company merged with and into the Company (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Company surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark and renamed as “Kenvue LLC.”
As a result of the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, Kenvue has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to existing registration statements, including the Registration Statements. In accordance with the undertaking made by Kenvue in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Company, as successor in interest to Kenvue, hereby removes from registration any and all securities of Kenvue registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Company, as successor in interest to Kenvue, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.
