About Johnson & Johnson MedTech

At Johnson & Johnson, we believe health is everything. Through innovation, technology, and deep clinical expertise, we are helping reshape the future of healthcare. DePuy Synthes, part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, is a global leader in orthopaedic solutions, delivering innovative products, enabling technologies, and robotic-assisted surgical solutions that improve patient outcomes and advance the standard of care.

Johnson & Johnson announced plans to separate our Orthopaedics business to establish a standalone orthopaedics company, operating as DePuy Synthes. The process of the planned separation is anticipated to be completed within 18 to 24 months, subject to legal requirements, including consultation with works councils and other employee representative bodies, as may be required, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and approvals.

Should you accept this position, it is anticipated that, following conclusion of the transaction, you would be an employee of DePuy Synthes and your employment would be governed by DePuy Synthes employment processes, programs, policies, and benefit plans. In that case, details of any planned changes would be provided to you by DePuy Synthes at an appropriate time and subject to any necessary consultation processes.
