MiniMed Files Form S-4 Registration Statement in Connection with Medtronic Exchange Offer Announcement

NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MiniMed (Nasdaq: MMED) announced that it has filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with Medtronic plc's ("Medtronic"; NYSE: MDT) offer to exchange up to 225,361,295 shares of MiniMed common stock, representing 80.1% of the total outstanding shares of MiniMed common stock, for outstanding Medtronic ordinary shares that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. If the exchange offer is oversubscribed, Medtronic intends to exchange all of Medtronic's remaining interest in MiniMed (an additional 27,452,053 shares of MiniMed common stock), without extending the exchange offer period. In the exchange offer, Medtronic shareholders will have the opportunity to exchange their Medtronic ordinary shares for shares of MiniMed common stock, subject to the terms of the offer.

Medtronic currently owns approximately 89.86% of the total outstanding shares of MiniMed common stock. If the exchange offer (including all related transactions) is effectuated, Medtronic will no longer hold an equity stake in MiniMed.

"With the exchange offer underway, our separation from Medtronic is entering the final stage," said Que Dallara, Chief Executive Officer of MiniMed. "It does not change who we serve, but it gives us complete autonomy over our capital allocation, our product roadmap, and our speed. Independence does not make the job easier; it simply means our execution is entirely in our own hands."

This announcement is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to sell or an offer to buy any securities nor a recommendation as to whether investors should participate in the exchange offer. The offer is made solely by the prospectus referenced below.
