**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Administrator and Plan Participants of Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Supplemental Information***

The supplemental Schedule H, line 4a - Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions as of December 31, 2025 and for the year then ended and Schedule H, line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2025 ("supplemental schedules") have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

**Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan**

**Notes to Financial Statements**

**1.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Description of the Plan**

**General**

The Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a participant directed defined contribution plan which was established on March 1, 1990 for eligible employees of certain participating subsidiaries of Johnson & Johnson ("Johnson & Johnson" or the "Company") located in Puerto Rico ("PR") which have adopted the Plan. The Plan was designed to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to strengthen their financial security at retirement by providing an incentive to save and invest regularly. The Plan is administered by the Pension & Benefits Committee (the "Plan Administrator") of Johnson & Johnson. The funding of the Plan is made through employee and Company contributions. The net assets of the Plan are held in the Johnson & Johnson Pension and Savings Plans Master Trust (the "Trust"). Recordkeeping services are provided by Alight Solutions. The Plan's interest in the Trust is allocated to the Plan based upon the total of each participant's share of the Trust.

Prior to October 1, 2025, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street" or "Custodian") served as an agent and custodian of the Plan for purposes of investment of the assets of the Trust. Effective October 1, 2025, the agent and custodian is The Northern Trust Company ("Northern Trust" or "Custodian"). Banco Popular de Puerto Rico serves as Trustee of the Plan. As such, the Custodian performs certain services for the Plan, including the execution of certain participant directed investments, which are commingled for investment purposes only with assets of other tax-qualified plans maintained by Johnson & Johnson.

This brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for complete information.

**Contributions**

In general, salaried and hourly employees of participating Johnson & Johnson companies who are Puerto Rico residents can contribute to the Plan immediately. There is no service requirement for employee contributions.

If a participant does not take action to enroll or declines enrollment in the Plan within their first 30 days of employment, they will be automatically enrolled for pre-tax employee contributions equal to 6% of their eligible pay and these contributions will be invested in the Plan's default investment option. The Plan's default investment option is the Target Retirement Fund that aligns with, or is closest to, the year in which the participant will turn age 62.

Contributions are made to the Plan by participants through payroll deductions and by the Company on behalf of the participants. Participating employees may contribute a minimum of 3% up to a maximum of 25% pre-tax and/or a minimum of 1% up to a maximum of 10% post-tax of their base salary. Annual pre-tax contributions may not individually exceed $15,000 in 2025 under Puerto Rico law.

Participants age 50 and over are eligible to contribute extra pre-tax contributions ("catch-up contributions") above the annual Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011 (the "PR Code") limitation up to $1,500 in 2025. Participants can elect an amount to be contributed from each paycheck as their catch-up contribution. This amount will be in addition to the pre-tax contribution percentages that participants have elected. The catch-up contribution is not eligible for the Company matching contribution.

Prior to January 1, 2025, participants received a Company matching contribution equal to 75% of the first 6% of a participant's pre-tax contributions. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company matching contribution is 75% of the first 6% of pre-tax and/or post-tax contributions. The Company matching contributions are made every payroll period, and, effective January 1, 2025, following each Plan year, the Company will make a "true-up" matching contribution calculated under the same formula as the payroll period match but determined on an annual basis and reduced by the payroll period matching contributions received by the participant during the year. The Company matching contribution is comprised of cash and invested in the current investment fund mix chosen by the participant.

**Investments**

Participants may invest in one or more of the various investment funds offered by the Plan. On January 1, 2025, the Plan introduced the Target Retirement 2065 Fund. Each of the Plan's funds represents a mix of various investments. The investment mix chosen by the participant will apply to employee and Company matching contributions. Rollover contributions are invested at the election of the participant.

**Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan**

**Notes to Financial Statements**

Participants receive dividends on Johnson & Johnson common stock shares held in the Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund. The dividends are automatically reinvested in the Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund. For all other funds, the Custodian reinvests all dividend and interest income.

Effective September 1, 2020, participants are not permitted to (1) direct more than 20% of any contribution made to the Plan to the Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund or (2) transfer or reallocate amounts into the Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund if, immediately after such transfer or reallocation, the aggregate value of their investments in the Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund would exceed 20% of their aggregate Plan Balance. This limitation does not (a) affect investments resulting from transfers before September 1, 2020 or (b) restrict percentages in excess of 20% that result from investment performance or reinvestment of dividends.

**Vesting**

A participant's contributions (pre-tax, post-tax, and rollover) and the earnings on them are always fully vested.

For the Company matching contributions, if a participant was hired before January 1, 2025, the Company matching contributions were made to the participant's account after a one-year eligibility period was satisfied. These contributions and the associated earnings are fully vested. If a participant was hired on or after January 1, 2025, the Company matching contributions made to the participant's account, and the earnings on these contributions, become vested after the participant has completed a three-year period of service. These contributions become vested if, while employed by the Company, the participant should die, become disabled, or reach age 55. If the Company matching contributions and associated earnings are not vested when the participant employment ends, they will be forfeited unless the participant returns to employment with the Company before (1) taking a total distribution of their vested account balance and (2) incurs a break in service (a period of at least five consecutive years in which the participant is not employed by the Company).

**Forfeitures**

Forfeitures of non-vested Company contributions are used to reduce future Company contributions. During 2025, $504 of forfeited participant accounts were used to reduce the Company's contributions. At December 31, 2025, there were $1,241 of forfeitures that have not yet been applied to reduce the Company's contributions.

**Payment of Benefits**

Participants are allowed to withdraw their unmatched post-tax contributions one time per calendar year. Participants may withdraw pre-tax contributions and post-tax contributions that were matched by the Company only upon meeting certain hardship conditions. The benefits to which participants are entitled are the amounts provided by contributions (Company and participant) and investment earnings thereon, including net realized and unrealized gains and losses which have been allocated to the participant's account balance. Participants have the option of receiving part of their balance in the Johnson & Johnson Common Stock Fund as either cash or in shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock (plus cash for fractional shares) for lump sum distributions other than a hardship.

Benefits are also paid to participants upon termination of employment, long-term disability or retirement. Participants can elect to defer payment if account balances are greater than $5,000. Distributions are paid either in a lump sum payment, or installment payments made on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis over a period of years selected by the participant.

A participant's account may be distributed to his/her beneficiaries in lump sum or in installments upon the participant's death only if the beneficiary is a spouse. Otherwise, it is paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum, either directly or rolled over to an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA").

**Administrative Expenses**

To cover recordkeeping expenses for the Plan, each participant is charged an annual administration fee of $36, which is assessed on a monthly basis. All other third-party administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, unless otherwise provided for by the Company.

**Notes Receivable from Participants**

Participants are not permitted to take loans from the Plan. However, due to a prior acquisition, there are existing loans which must be allowed to continue once rolled into the Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan. The collateralized balances in the participants' accounts have interest rates of 3.25%. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll

**Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan**

**Notes to Financial Statements**

deductions for active employees. Loans must be paid within two months following retirement or termination of employment with the Company. If the loan is not repaid in full, the unpaid balance, plus accrued interest, will be deducted from the participant's account balance and reported as a distribution.

**Termination**

Although it has not expressed an intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a partial or full Plan termination, all Plan funds must be used exclusively for the benefit of the Plan participants, in that each participant would receive the respective value in their account.

**2**. **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Basis of Accounting** 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Investment Valuation and Income Recognition of the Trust** 

The Plan's interest in the Trust is stated at fair value, except for the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts which are stated at contract value. The investment in the Trust represents the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Trust.

As the investment funds contain various underlying assets such as stocks and short-term investments, the participant's account balance is reported in units of participation, which allows for immediate transfers in and out of the funds. The purchase or redemption price of the units is determined by the Custodian, based on the current market value of the underlying assets of the funds. Each fund's net asset value for a single unit is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash and other assets, and subtracting liabilities, then dividing the result by the number of units outstanding.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined on the average cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and administrative expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

The Plan presents, in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, the net investment income/loss for the Plan's interest in the Trust which consists of the Plan's allocated change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the underlying investments, realized gains and losses on sales of investments and investment income/loss based upon the total of each participant's share of the Trust.

**Payment of Benefits** 

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

**Derivatives** 

The Trust mitigates risk through structured trading with reputable parties and continual monitoring procedures. The Trust enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge against adverse changes in foreign exchange rates related to non-U.S. dollar denominated investments. The Trust is exposed to credit risk for non-performance by the counterparty and to market risk for changes in interest and currency rates. The Trust accounts for forward foreign exchange contracts at fair value.

The fair value of a forward foreign exchange contract is the aggregation by currency of all future cash flows discounted to its present value at the prevailing market interest rates and subsequently converted to the U.S. Dollar at the current spot foreign exchange rate.

The Trust actively manages risk by periodically investing in interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and fixed income options. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk and provide an effective means to adjust portfolio duration, maturity mix and term-structure. Credit default swaps are used to either synthetically add or reduce credit risk to an individual issuer or a basket of issuers. Depending on the type of contract, the counterparty risk exposure can be

------

**Johnson & Johnson Retirement Savings Plan**

**Notes to Financial Statements**

either with the exchange or another counterparty. Fixed income options are used in various ways including: to pursue upside exposure to a portion of the yield curve, to capitalize on anticipated changes in market volatility, to focus on generating income, and to serve as a hedge. The Trust records interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and options at fair value. Interest rate swaps are valued daily using underlying yield curves based upon broker/dealer sources, the present value of expected cash flows, and frequency of which they compound and pay. Credit default swaps are valued using daily underlying yield curves and/or credit curves and spreads based upon broker/dealer/index sources, the present value of expected cash flows, and the frequency of which they compound and pay including a weighted default calculation. Options are fair valued using market-based inputs to models, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency, where such inputs and models are available. Alternatively, the values may be obtained through unobservable management determined inputs and/or management's proprietary models. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an option depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the option as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs.

The Trust may also enter into total return swap contracts, which are contracts in which one party agrees to make periodic payments based on the change in market value of the underlying assets, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or security indexes during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate of the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or market. Total return swaps involve not only the risk associated with the investment in the underlying securities, but also the risk of the counterparty not fulfilling its obligations under the agreement. Total return swaps are valued daily using underlying index levels for fixed and financing legs. The Trust determines the fair value of total return swaps based on published index prices. The total market value is the sum of the market value of both the fixed and the float legs. The market value of the fixed leg is determined by the change in price of the asset times the units. The market value of the float leg is determined by the accrued financing given the reset frequency and financing index. The Mark-to-Market (MTM) / swap value is collateralized daily.

A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell a security or other asset for a set price on a future date. These contracts are traded on major exchanges and are marked to market daily, thus minimizing counterparty risk. The Trust enters into futures contracts mainly to manage the duration and refine the curve positioning of the fixed income portfolios, thus, allowing the investment managers to achieve the overall investment portfolios' objectives. These contracts are traded on the exchange and the fair value is the daily mark to market, which is a function of price movements for the contract relative to the level it was originally entered into.

There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

**Use of Estimates** 

The preparation of the Plan's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits at the date of the financial statements and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits during the reporting period and the applicable disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Risks and Uncertainties** 

The Plan provides for various investment options in funds which can invest in a combination of equity, fixed income securities and other investments. Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

**Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts** 

Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measurement criteria for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Fair Value Measurements** 

The Plan's valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Trust's investments carried at fair value. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, equity or debt prices, foreign exchange rates and credit curves.

While the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

**Valuation Hierarchy** 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures*, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Short-term investment funds - The assets are generally comprised of quoted short-term instruments which are valued at the closing price or the amount held on deposit by the custodian bank where quoted prices are available in an active market and are classified as Level 1. Other investments are through investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value ("NAV") provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active and classified as Level 2. If NAV is quoted in an active market, the investment would be classified as Level 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Government and agency securities - The assets are comprised of government and agency securities and U.S. Treasury bills and notes of varying maturities. These are all generally classified as Level 2 fair values which are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Government and agency securities include reverse repurchase agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement, commonly known as a reverse repo, is a financial transaction where one party purchases securities from another party with a simultaneous agreement to sell them back at a later date. The price agreed upon for the repurchase is typically higher than the original sale price, reflecting an implicit interest rate known as the repo rate. Reverse repos are widely used in financial markets for liquidity management, collateralized borrowing, and short-term investment strategies. Repurchase agreements are valued based on expected settlement per the contract terms. The amounts of Reverse Repos were ($1,189,288,085) and ($1,139,063,013) in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Debt instruments - The assets are comprised of corporate debt and commercial loans and mortgages. Fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and are generally classified as Level 2. Level 3 debt instruments are priced based on unobservable inputs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Equity securities - U.S. and International equity securities are valued at the closing price reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. Substantially all equity securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

**Notes to Financial Statements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other assets and liabilities, net - Derivatives, and related cash and securities collateral, as applicable, are included in this category. In general, derivatives that are exchange listed and actively traded are classified as Level 1, while derivatives that are not exchange listed but still actively traded in observable markets are classified as Level 2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Common Collective Trusts ("CCTs") - The fair value of all CCT interests have been determined using NAV as a practical expedient. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The CCTs are included in Investments measured at Net Asset Value. A majority of the CCTs are used for liquidity purposes for both the defined benefit and defined contribution plans within the Trust. The CCTs are primarily passive funds that provide daily liquidity with no prior notice for participant transactions, and 2-day prior notice for Plan Sponsor transactions for the various Plan investment options. Participant directed purchases and sales are transacted at the NAV. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 73% and 69%, respectively, of the CCTs are invested in passive strategies that mimic the indices, and 27% and 31%, respectively, in active strategies. Additionally, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, 63% and 61%, respectively, of the active and passive CCTs are invested in U.S. equities, 23% and 26%, respectively, are invested in global equities and emerging markets, and the remaining 14% and 13%, respectively, are invested in fixed income. There are no unfunded commitments for any of the CCTs that the Trust invests in.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limited Partnerships ("LP") - The Trust invests in LP investments including Emerging Market Long-Only Equity Funds and Private Market Funds. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 0% and 3%, respectively, of these investments are invested in Emerging Market Long-Only Equity Funds and 100% and 97%, respectively, in Private Market Funds.

The Trust's private market program has invested as a limited partner in a well-diversified portfolio of funds managed by general partners. The program is being managed to ensure adequate diversification by general partner, strategy type (private equity, real assets, and private credit), and geographic region. The Trust engages in co-investments alongside the general partners of the funds, as presented by them, to access attractive investments beyond the pro rata interest obtained through the fund investments. The Trust employs diverse valuation methodologies for co-investments, including multiples of earnings, discounted cash-flow analysis, and fundamental investment assessment. Factors such as financial statements, purchase price, and market observations are considered to ensure a comprehensive and accurate determination of fair value. The Trust will also assess NAV calculations from the General Partners following a similar valuation methodology. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 58% and 58%, respectively, of these investments are invested in private equity (as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 Co-investments represent 16% and 17%, respectively, of the private equity strategy), 17% and 15%, respectively, in real assets, and 25% and 27%, respectively, in private credit. The Trust has entered into a number of private markets agreements that commit the Trust, upon request, to make additional investment purchases up to predetermined amounts. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Trust had aggregate unfunded commitments of $1,842,342,412 and $2,032,793,729 respectively. These commitments are expected to be satisfied with distributions from existing funds, reinvestment of proceeds and/or periodic rebalancing of existing investments. The LP investments have target maturity dates ranging from 2026 to at least 2036 with the possibility of 2 to 4 years of extensions in accordance with the respective LP's governing documents. Distributions to the Trust from LP investments are generally driven by portfolio company liquidation in the public and private markets or other events. Otherwise, the LP investments are not redeemable. The fair value of the Trust's LP investments, excluding certain co-investments, has been determined using NAV provided by the respective general partners as a practical expedient. The NAV is the pro-rata share of the Trust's position based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the LP, minus its liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Synthetic Investment Contracts** 

The Trust holds investments in synthetic GICs. The weighted average insurance financial strength rating of the insurers for these contracts is Aa3. These investments are recorded at their book values. The synthetic GICs' contract value represents book value plus reinvested income adjusted for net cash flows. The synthetic GICs are fully benefit-responsive. Participants may under most circumstances direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Currently no reserves are needed against contract values for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise.

The synthetic GICs provide a return over a period of time through a fully benefit-responsive contract, or wrapper contract, which is backed by the underlying assets owned by the Trust. The portfolio of assets with overall Aa2/AA credit quality, underlying the synthetic GICs primarily includes government and agency securities, corporate debt, mortgage backed securities, and asset backed securities. The contract value of the synthetic GICs was $1,635,918,229 and $1,768,181,421 at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

There are certain events not initiated by Plan participants that limit the ability of the Plan to transact with the issuer of a GIC (synthetic or traditional) at its contract value. Specific coverage provided by each synthetic GIC may be different from each issuer. Examples of such events include: the Plan's failure to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") of 1986 as amended; full or partial termination of the Plan; involuntary termination of employment as a result of a corporate merger, divestiture, spin-off, or other significant business restructuring, which may include early retirement

incentive programs or bankruptcy; changes to the administration of the Plan which decreases employee or employer contributions, the establishment of a competing plan by the plan sponsor, the introduction of a competing investment option, or other Plan amendment that has not been approved by the contract issuers; dissemination of a participant communication that is designed to induce participants to transfer assets from this investment option; events resulting in a material and adverse financial impact on the contract issuer, including changes in the tax code, laws or regulations. The Plan fiduciaries believe that the occurrence of any of the aforementioned events, which would limit the Plan's ability to transact with the issuer of a GIC at its contract value, is not probable.

For the written credit default swaps, the recourse provisions are determined either by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") agreements or the exchange. Where the Trust is a seller of credit default swaps and if a credit event occurs due to the default of the underlying security or the underlying tranche, this would result in a net loss to the Trust. At December 31, 2025, the maximum payout for outstanding credit default swaps aggregated to $157,335,000 with terms as follows:

**4.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Notes Receivable from Participants**

The Plan had participant loans outstanding at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 of $1,524 and $1,524, respectively. Delinquent notes receivable from participants are reclassified to benefit payments based on terms of the Plan document.

**5**. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Tax Status**

The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the PR Treasury under the PR Code dated June 21, 2018. Additionally, the Plan received a letter dated November 18, 2025 from the PR Treasury approving all amendments to the Plan adopted since June 21, 2018. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the PR Code. The Trust associated with the Plan is intended to be exempt from Puerto Rico income taxation pursuant to the provisions of Section 1081.01(a) of the PR Code, and, pursuant to Section 1022(i)(1) of ERISA, for United States income tax purposes, the Plan's Master Trust is intended to be considered as an organization as described in Section 401(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "U.S. Code") and exempt under Section 501(a) of the U.S. Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the PR Treasury pursuant to the provisions of the PR Code, as appropriate. The Plan Administrator has concluded that as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

**6.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Related Party Transactions**

Certain Plan investments, such as shares of CCT's managed by State Street Global Advisors, a division of State Street and shares of State Street common stock and bonds, qualify as party-in interest transactions as State Street was the Custodian through September 30, 2025 as defined by the Plan. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total market value of investments in these interests allocated to the Plan and managed by State Street was $219,888,974 and $188,482,362, respectively.

Certain Plan investments managed by Northern Trust qualify as party-in-interest transactions as Northern Trust became the Custodian effective October 1, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the total market value of investments in these interests allocated to the Plan and managed by Northern Trust was $5,868,581.

The Plan also invests in shares of the Company. The Company is the Plan sponsor and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of investments in Johnson & Johnson common stock was $168,418,807 and $128,695,603, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Plan made purchases of $4,767,200 and sales of $18,155,350 of the Company's common stock. The total dividend income received during 2025 was $4,396,071. The total realized and unrealized gains during 2025 were $7,888,384 and $45,222,971 respectively.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Events**

In October 2025, the Company announced its intention to separate the Company's Orthopedics business. The Company is targeting completion of the planned separation in 18 to 24 months after initial announcement. The Company is exploring multiple paths to effect the planned separation, with no decision at this time. The planned separation may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, if at all, and may not achieve the expected results. The impacts of this decision is not yet known, but are being closely monitored through 2026.

The Plan has assessed subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that no other items require disclosure.
