JOHNSON & JOHNSON 
 0.250%
NOTE DUE 2022 
 (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 (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 January 20 of each year (the “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on
January 20, 2017 and at the Maturity Date. 
 Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for this Note will include accrued
interest from and including May 20, 2016 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 11, 2016, 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, 

  
 6 








 
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) Until this Note is paid or
payment thereof is duly provided for, the Company undertakes that, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will maintain a paying agent that will not be required to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the
taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such European Council Directive. 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) The Company may, at the Company’s option, redeem this Note at any time prior to the Par Call Date, either in whole or in part, upon
at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice. If the Company elects to redeem this Note, the Company will pay a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to,
but not including, the redemption date: 

  
 7 









	 	•	 	100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date; or 

  

	 	•	 	the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption), discounted to the date
of redemption on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) at the applicable Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined below), plus 10 basis points. 


(b) At any time on or after the Par Call Date, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. 
 (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 price,
expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third Business Day prior to the date fixed
for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such Business Day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the 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. 
 “Par Call Date” means December 20, 2021 (one
month prior to the Maturity Date). 
 Section 7. Payment of Additional Amounts. The Company will, subject to the exceptions and
limitations set forth below, pay as additional interest on this Note such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company or a paying agent of the principal of and interest on this Note to a holder who is not a
United States person (as defined below), after deduction for any present or future tax, 

  
 8 








 
assessment or other governmental charge of the United States or a political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, imposed by withholding with respect to the payment, will
not be less than the amount provided in this Note to be then due and payable; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay additional amounts shall not apply: 

 

	 	(1)	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of the holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate,
trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder, being considered as: 

  

	 	(a)	being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business in the United States or having had a permanent establishment in the United States; 


 

	 	(b)	having a current or former relationship with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident of the United States;

	 	(e)	being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into the ordinary course of its trade or business; 


 

	 	(2)	to any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion of the Notes, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a
beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment;


  

	 	(3)	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or otherwise withheld solely by reason of a failure of the holder or any other person to comply with certification, identification or information
reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States Treasury Department
or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 


  
 9 









	 	(4)	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or a paying agent from the payment; 


 

	 	(5)	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective after the payment
becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

  

	 	(6)	to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 


 

	 	(7)	to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge any paying agent (which term may include the Company) must withhold from any payment of principal of or interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such
withholding by any other paying agent; 

  

	 	(8)	to any tax, assessment or governmental charge that would not have been so imposed or withheld but for the presentation by the holder of a Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment
became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; 

  

	 	(9)	any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any regulations or agreements thereunder or
official interpretations thereof) or any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement); or 


 

	 	(10)	in the case of any combination of the above items. 

 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. 

The Company will not pay additional amounts on any Note 
  

	 	•	 	where withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment and is required to be made pursuant to European Union Directive 2003/48/ EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, that
Directive, or 


  
 10

America (including the states and the District of Columbia) and its territories, possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction, “United States person” means any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person under any
applicable Treasury regulations), or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source. 

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 11, 2016, 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.

 11 








 
in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company does not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware that such depositary is no longer in good standing, or (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Notes shall be exchanged for certificated Notes in definitive form, provided that the definitive Notes so issued in exchange
for this Note shall be in authorized denominations and be of like aggregate principal amount and tenor and terms as the portion of this Note to be exchanged. Except as provided above, owners of beneficial interests in this Note will not be entitled
to have this Note or Notes represented by this Note registered in their names or receive physical delivery of Notes in definitive form and will not be considered the holders hereof for any purpose under the Indenture. 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.

of the Company or any successor corporation, shall not have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the Indenture or this Note or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting
this Note, the holder hereby waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of this Note.
