| ![05_438981-3_photo_message from our CEO_coxC.jpg](solv-20260327_g14.jpg) | Dear fellow shareholders:<br>On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of shareholders, which will be held on Friday, May 15 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time (ET) at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SOLV2026 via audio webcast. Your vote at the Annual Meeting is important, and I encourage you to vote in support of our Board of Directors' recommendations, as described in the accompanying proxy statement. <br>Over the past year, the Board has been highly engaged in overseeing execution of the company's strategy to drive long-term value creation, while upholding the highest standards of corporate governance. During this time, our management team made tremendous progress, including completing the divestiture of the Purification and Filtration business and completing our first acquisition – Acera Surgical. We also announced our first share repurchase program to return capital directly to shareholders. These actions reflect our commitment to disciplined, but bold strategic action to position Solventum for sustained growth. <br>Our Board is comprised of independent, deeply experienced directors who work collaboratively in service to our shareholders. Together with management, we remain focused on executing our strategy through strategic portfolio optimization, balanced capital allocation and targeted commercial enhancements, all to deliver on the ambitious long-range plan unveiled in March 2025. <br>In 2025, we engaged directly with many of our shareholders, incorporating your perspectives into our deliberations and decision-making. We value the insights and views of our investors as we guide the strategy, oversee risk and continue to evolve our performance-based executive compensation program. We also remain focused on building a strong, mission-driven culture and attracting top talent to support our continued progress.<br>Enclosed is our 2026 proxy statement, which contains important information about the matters to be voted on at the 2026 Annual Meeting. We ask that you vote for our proposals to elect four highly qualified directors, confirm our strong pay-for-performance executive compensation program, and ratify PwC as our independent auditor. Your vote is critical in shaping Solventum's future, and we encourage you to participate, whether by attending the meeting virtually or by voting via proxy. <br>We thank you for your investment in Solventum and for the trust you place in the Board as stewards of your capital. We look forward to building on our momentum and continuing our success together. <br>Sincerely,<br>![CCox Signature (1).jpg](solv-20260327_g15.jpg)<br>**Carrie S. Cox**<br>Chair of the Board |

Based on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, the Board has nominated the four Class II directors named under "2026 Director nominees" below to hold office until the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders.

Each nominee has consented to be named in the proxy statement and to serve if elected. If, however, a nominee is unavailable for election, your proxy authorizes the persons named on the proxy card to vote for a replacement nominee if the Board names one. As an alternative, the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the meeting. Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named as proxies will vote all proxies received for the election of each of the nominees.

**Voting standard**<br>Nominees for Class II director must receive a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy on the election of directors in order to be elected as a director. This means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's election. <br>

Majority vote standard for election of directors

Under our amended and restated bylaws (the "Bylaws"), directors are to be elected by a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors, provided that there is a quorum present at such meeting. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director's election. In the event of a "contested election" of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. A "contested election" means any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected.

If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board shall act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Governance Committee's recommendation, and publicly disclose its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within ninety days from the date of the certification of the election results. The director who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the recommendation of the Governance Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. If the incumbent director's resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected. If the incumbent director's resignation is accepted by the Board, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy or decrease the size of the Board pursuant to the Bylaws.

**Proposal 1: Election of Class II Directors**

Directors' skills, backgrounds and expertise

The matrix included below represents some of the key skills, backgrounds and expertise that the Board has identified as particularly valuable to the oversight of the Company and illustrates how our current directors individually and collectively represent these key competencies and backgrounds. While all of these qualifications were considered by the Board and the Governance Committee in connection with this year's director nomination process, the matrix does not encompass all of the skills, backgrounds and expertise of the director nominees, and the absence of a particular skill, background or expertise for a nominee does not mean that a nominee does not possess elements of that skill, background or expertise. The Board firmly believes that its highly qualified director nominees provide the Board with strong, complementary areas of expertise and skills that are directly correlated to aid the development of our strategic priorities and help guide our early days as a public company.

**We have an independent Board leadership structure to guide the oversight of the Company.**

The Board's leadership structure, which includes an independent Chair, allows Ms. Cox, as Chair, to lead agenda setting and oversight of the Company's strategy at the Board level, while Mr. Hanson, in his capacity as CEO, leads the development and execution of the strategy. Committee Chairs were selected based on their significant professional and leadership experience enabling them to lead their respective committee's work.

As a newly independent company, in selecting candidates for our Board, our Chair, with the assistance of a leading independent search firm, engaged in a comprehensive recruitment focused on identifying directors across three core areas:

**•** Directors who would bring highly relevant industry experience in healthcare, including in medical devices, biotechnology and pharmaceutical businesses;

**•** Directors with spin-off and post spin-off and similar transformational business experience – a crucially important skill set as we developed our three-phased strategic approach, execute future portfolio optimization plans and transition over the next several years away from the highly complex arrangements with 3M Company ("3M") in place today;

**•** Directors with critical and valuable experience in governance, human resources and audit and tax functions best practices to lead us as we set up a new standalone global organization and business culture.

**Risk management**

Solventum management has primary responsibility for the practices, processes and procedures to proactively and comprehensively manage risk; the Board oversees those practices, processes and procedures. We have prioritized building a culture-focused foundation across the enterprise to drive collaboration, enhance execution and reduce risk. As defined in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Board committee charters, the Board retains oversight of specific risks for itself and delegates oversight of other risks to Board committees based on their respective areas of expertise. Consideration of risk is a part of all Board meetings, and throughout the year, the Board and the relevant committees review and discuss specific risk topics in greater detail.

**Enterprise risk management**

Solventum has established an enterprise risk management ("ERM") program for oversight and management of the ERM framework, enterprise risk assessment, risk appetite, risk culture and emerging risk management. The ERM program was established with direct engagement from Solventum leadership and the Board committee Chairs. Risk owners and sponsors were designated for all enterprise risks, which includes a formal quarterly sign-off to instill accountability in the risk management process. ERM program leaders provide quarterly updates to the Governance Committee as well as an annual update to the full Board on ERM. The Board utilizes ERM as a key mechanism for understanding enterprise-level risks facing Solventum and assessing management practices, processes and procedures for mitigating those risks.

**Cybersecurity**

The Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of cybersecurity-related risks. The Audit Committee regularly receives reports from our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and other members of management on cybersecurity threat risk management, including security posture improvements, results from third-party assessments, identified risks and progress towards risk-mitigation-related goals. The full Board receives a report from our CISO and other members of management annually. For additional information relating to our cybersecurity practices, processes and procedures, see our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2025 Director compensation

Our non-employee directors are compensated for their time, expertise, and governance roles with a mix of cash and equity-based compensation.

Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer of $120,000 for their service on the Board.

Sustainability and social impact <br> 

Our sustainability and social impact strategy supports the creation of long-term shareholder value. Through our identification of and action on key priorities, we strive to meet the expectations of our investors and other stakeholders, including regulators, customers, the patients we serve, our employees, and the communities where we live and work.

We have established organizational and governance structures to oversee and drive environmental and social performance. We will continue to build out our sustainability and social impact programs, policies and processes. Guided by our commitment to transparency, we communicate progress in our annual Sustainability and Social Impact Report.

Our sustainability governance structure

The below diagram illustrates the different working teams involved in driving environmental and social performance at Solventum. We adopt both top-down and bottom-up approaches and involve the Board and management to align on strategy, goals and targets and to implement our initiatives. The executive sponsor for these initiatives is Solventum's Chief Corporate & Legal Affairs Officer and the responsible executive is Solventum's Chief Sustainability Officer.

Corporate governance <br> 

Our governance policies are broadly consistent with recently spun-off companies and reflect best practices. We regularly review our governance structure and consider the input of our investors to make adjustments to our governance in line with our structure and the needs of the Company.

A description of certain of our key Board and other policies and practices follows below:

Policies on corporate governance

We prioritize ethical practices and doing business the right way. Our high standards of corporate conduct were established to promote the welfare of all and uphold public trust in our contributions to the healthcare industry. Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that, in conjunction with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("Certificate of Incorporation"), Bylaws, Board committee charters and key Board policies, form the framework for our governance.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines address matters such as the respective roles and responsibilities of our Board and management, Board composition and leadership structure, the responsibilities of the independent Chair or lead independent director (if there is one in place), director independence, the Board Membership Criteria, Board committees, and Board and management evaluations. The Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing and reviewing the Corporate Governance Guidelines at least annually and recommending any proposed changes to the Board for approval. Our Board has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Members of the Board ("Board of Directors Code of Conduct"), which incorporates principles of conduct our Board will follow to ensure its activities are conducted with integrity and adherence to the highest ethical standards and in compliance with the law.

---

| |
|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The current versions of the following documents are available in the Governance section of our website, **www.solventum.com**:  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Corporate Governance Guidelines<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Board of Directors Code of Business Conduct and Ethics<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Director Independence Guidelines<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Audit Committee Charter<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Governance Committee Charter <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Talent Committee Charter<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Science, Technology and Quality Committee Charter |

---

We also have a Code of Conduct for employees. If we make any substantive amendments to the employee Code of Conduct or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code to our CEO, Chief Financial Officer, or Chief Accounting Officer, we will disclose the nature of that amendment or waiver on our website.

**Corporate governance**

Classified board and phase out

As is common for newly spun-off companies, we currently have a classified board. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we will conduct a phased declassification of the Board to be completed in 2028.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, until the 2028 Annual Meeting, our Board will be divided into three classes, with each class consisting, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors:

![04 438981-1_gfx_Classified Board and Phase Out.jpg](solv-20260327_g108.jpg)

Starting with the 2028 Annual Meeting, directors will be elected annually and for a term of office to expire at the next annual meeting of shareholders and our Board will thereafter no longer be divided into classes.

Director independence

Providing objective, independent judgment is at the core of our Board's oversight function. Our "Director Independence Guidelines" set forth certain criteria to assess the independence of our directors. Under the Director Independence Guidelines, which conform to the corporate governance listing standards of NYSE, a director will not be considered "independent" unless our Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with Solventum directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Solventum. Our Board has determined that a majority of the directors of Solventum, including all of our directors other than our CEO, are independent under the Director Independence Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards for independence.

Limit on other directorships

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, independent directors are encouraged to evaluate carefully the time required to serve on other boards (excluding non-profit boards) taking into account board attendance, preparation, participation, and effectiveness on such boards. Independent directors must advise the Chair of the Board and the CEO before accepting an invitation to serve on another board to enable Solventum to determine whether (i) any regulatory issues or potential conflicts are raised by the director accepting such an invitation, and (ii) the director will have the time required for preparation, participation, and attendance at Board meetings. Directors who also serve as CEOs of publicly-traded companies or in equivalent positions should not serve on more than two boards of public companies (including Solventum), and other directors should not serve on more than four boards of public companies (including Solventum).

**Corporate governance**

Director tenure and term limits

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a non-employee director must retire from the Board when they reach the age of 75. A director elected to the Board prior to his or her 75<sup>th</sup> birthday may continue to serve until the annual meeting coincident with or following his or her 75th birthday. Aside from special circumstances (such as, potentially, during a CEO succession or during a material transaction), directors will not be nominated for election to the Board after their 75<sup>th</sup> birthday. The Board has not granted any waivers with respect to this mandatory retirement age. There are no term limits for service on the Board. The Company and the Board believe that the absence of term limits allows the Company to retain board members who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the Company and its operations and, therefore, provide an important perspective to the Board as a whole.

2025 Shareholder outreach program

We are committed to maintaining an active, transparent, and constructive shareholder engagement program that fosters open dialogue, strengthens investor trust and ensures shareholder perspectives are thoughtfully considered in our governance, strategy and long-term value creating decisions. The Board and the Company appreciate hearing from shareholders on business and governance matters, including the structure and design of our executive compensation programs and the design and structure of our governance provisions. Feedback from investors helps inform Board decisions and ensures the executive compensation program and the Company's governance platform continues to remain aligned with the interests and values of Solventum's shareholders.

In 2025, our management team engaged with shareholders representing over 56% of our outstanding shares (based on stock holdings as of December 31, 2025 and not including 3M) to engage and share their perspectives with us on a variety of matters. Management, our Board chair, our Talent Committee chair, and our Governance Committee chair, had meetings with shareholders representing 21% of our outstanding shares (based on stock holdings as of December 31, 2025 and not including 3M).

Key themes discussed with our shareholders included:

---

|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Robust board oversight of risks, including relating to artificial intelligence, tariffs, and cybersecurity <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** The Board's role in supporting strategic execution and holding management accountable<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Ensuring strong corporate and compensation governance | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Ensuring organizational health and stability through talent oversight<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** Overseeing execution of the company's Long Range Plan |

**Corporate governance**

Board self-evaluation process

Pursuant to NYSE requirements, Solventum's Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of each of the Board's committees, the Board and each of its committees are required to conduct self-evaluations of their performance. The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential component of good corporate governance and as a newly public company, these evaluations will help us establish the best board and governance practices to ensure robust oversight.

The Board has established a process for self-evaluations, which are conducted annually, and are intended to facilitate a candid assessment and discussion by the Board and each committee of its effectiveness as a group in fulfilling its responsibilities, evaluating its performance, and identifying areas for improvement. The Governance Committee oversees the annual self-evaluation process.

Each director is expected to participate and provide feedback on a range of topics, including: Board and committee agendas and meetings; culture and ethics; relationship with management; committee structure, membership and leadership; the flow of information to and from the Board and its committees; and management succession planning.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>Director feedback is solicited on an individual basis through written questionnaires | &nbsp;&nbsp;**2**<br>Feedback reviewed by Chief Corporate & Legal Affairs Officer; summary of feedback and recommendations shared with Chair, CEO, and Governance Committee Chair  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**3**<br>Summary of feedback and recommendations shared with each Committee chair for discussion at next Committee meeting and development of action plan for implementation of changes  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**4**<br>Board discusses feedback and recommendations and development of Board and Committee action plans; works with senior management on implementation of changes |

---

The Company expects that from time to time, this process will also involve retention of a third party experienced in corporate governance matters to act as a facilitator for the self-evaluation process, including preparing and reviewing the written questionnaires/assessments and conducting individual director interviews.

Board meetings, attendance and executive sessions

The Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis during the year to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings when an important matter requires Board action between scheduled meetings. Members of senior management regularly attend meetings of the Board and its committees to report on and discuss their areas of responsibility. Directors are expected to attend Board meetings, meetings of committees on which they serve, and shareholder meetings. Directors are expected to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. During 2025, the Board held seven meetings. All directors attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and committees on which they served.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors are expected to attend the annual meeting. In 2025, all of our Board members attended our 2025 annual meeting.

Each regularly scheduled Board meeting normally begins with a private session between the CEO and the independent directors. The independent directors may meet in executive session without the CEO at any time, and time is allocated for such independent executive sessions at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Currently, Ms. Cox, in her capacity as non-executive Chair, presides at these executive sessions.

**Corporate governance**

Board's role in executive succession planning and development

The Board, its Talent Committee and its Governance Committee oversee executive succession planning for Solventum as part of building a high-performing workforce. On a periodic basis, the Board and these committees evaluate Solventum's leadership team succession planning.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board, with the Talent Committee overseeing the succession process, plans for the succession to the position of CEO. The Talent Committee consults with respect to the positions of the leadership team members reporting directly to the CEO. To assist the Talent Committee, the CEO annually assesses leadership team members reporting directly to the CEO and their succession potential. The CEO also provides the Talent Committee with an assessment of persons considered potential successors to leadership team members reporting directly to the CEO. The Governance Committee, coordinating with the Talent Committee, makes recommendations for the appointment of executive officers after reviewing and evaluating the qualifications of individuals to occupy such positions.

Director education

The Company provides Board members with internal and external education opportunities and offers both financial and administrative support to Board members who attend qualifying academic or other independent programs. Educational opportunities provided to directors include the following:

**•** educational sessions at Board meetings on a variety of topics, including a deep-dive strategy session and individual strategy sessions with different business segments

**•** briefings on topics of particular relevance, including external perspective on industry trends for each business segment and key topics relevant to the Company

**•** orientation and ongoing education programs to familiarize directors with the Company's business operations including site visits with accompanying presentations

**•** regular updates from internal and external perspectives on new and emerging public company governance and topics related to the Company's external operating environment

**•** regular updates from the CEO and other senior leaders outside of formal Board meetings on key information and developments

Directors are also able to and encouraged to attend external academic and other independent programs, including external director education programs and opportunities for directors of public companies.

Communications with directors

Shareholders or other interested parties may contact our directors by writing to them either individually or as a group or partial group (such as all independent directors), c/o Corporate Secretary, Solventum Corporation, 1750 Yankee Doodle Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55121. The Corporate Secretary reviews communications to the independent directors and forwards those communications to the independent directors as discussed below.

Solventum's Corporate Secretary reviews and promptly forwards communications to the directors as appropriate. Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of our Board are handled by the appropriate internal team, such as: business solicitation or advertisements; product-related inquiries; mass mailings; resumes or other job-related inquiries; and unsolicited commercial e-mails.

**Corporate governance**

Nominations for directors

Our Governance Committee identifies and screens candidates and recommends candidates for nomination to the full Board. In seeking and evaluating director candidates, the Governance Committee considers individuals in accordance with the Board Membership Criteria described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. This assessment includes, but is not limited to, consideration of: (i) roles and contributions valuable to the business community; (ii) personal qualities of leadership, character, judgment and whether the candidate possesses and maintains throughout service on the Board a reputation in the community at large of integrity, trust, respect, competence and adherence to the highest ethical standards; (iii) relevant knowledge and diversity of age, gender, ethnicity, background and experience in areas such as business, healthcare, manufacturing, technology, finance and accounting, marketing, international business and government; and (iv) whether the candidate is free of conflicts and has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at all meetings. In addition, the Governance Committee considers whether the candidate's skills and experiences are complementary to existing Board members' skills and experiences, the Board's needs for particular expertise, and the candidate's impact on Board dynamics and effectiveness. The Governance Committee considers director candidates from several sources including those recommended by Board members, a third-party search firm, or shareholders. Candidates proposed by shareholders are evaluated using the same criteria as for other candidates.

A shareholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the Governance Committee should send such recommendation to our Corporate Secretary at Solventum Corporation, 1750 Yankee Doodle Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55121.

A shareholder who wishes to nominate an individual as a candidate for election must comply with the applicable advance notice and proxy access requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must also comply with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. (See "Questions & answers about the annual meeting - What do I need to know to submit proposals and what are the deadlines to propose actions for consideration or to nominate individuals to serve as directors at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders?" for more information).

Certain relationships and related person transactions

Solventum has adopted a related person transaction process that is administered by the Governance Committee. This process applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which Solventum or a subsidiary is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, a related person (as that term is defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) has a direct or indirect material interest, and the transaction is required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Transactions that fall within this definition are referred to the Governance Committee for review and approval or other action, including ratification. Based on its consideration of all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Governance Committee will decide whether or not to approve a transaction and will approve only those transactions that are in the best interests of Solventum and its shareholders. Any Governance Committee member who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review will not participate in the deliberations or vote respecting such approval, except that such a director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting at which the committee considers the transaction. On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is obligated to complete a director and officer questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with us in which the director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, has an interest.

Under our Code of Conduct, which is available on our website at **www.solventum.com**, and related policies and procedures, actual or potential conflicts of interest involving any other employee must be disclosed promptly to the Chair of the Governance Committee and the Chief Corporate & Legal Affairs Officer.

Doug Jones, MedSurg VP Sales US & Canada, is the brother in law of Bryan Hanson, our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Jones currently receives annual compensation—including base salary and bonus—of approximately $536,200. Mr. Jones also receives certain other benefits, including awards of equity, customary to similar positions within the Company. In 2025, such equity award had a target value of $300,000. Mr. Jones' employment was approved by the Governance Committee in accordance with our hiring standards after a robust search and process. The amounts paid to Mr. Jones were commensurate with those paid to employees in similar positions and responsibility levels.

A pay structure that aligns with our compensation philosophy

**Executive compensation philosophy**

The Solventum Talent Committee designed the executive compensation program to incentivize and reward executives for actions that create sustainable shareholder value. The four key tenets of our compensation philosophy are:

![02_438981-3_ticker_Check.jpg](solv-20260327_g111.jpg)**Pay For Performance:** A majority of total direct compensation should be at risk and subject to preset goals that support our strategy, performance, and long-term shareholder value.

![02_438981-3_ticker_Check.jpg](solv-20260327_g111.jpg)**Align Interests:** Pay outcomes should be linked to the creation of shareholder value, aligning the interests of executives with shareholders.

![02_438981-3_ticker_Check.jpg](solv-20260327_g111.jpg)**Retain Talent:** The program should attract and retain industry-leading executives who lead the efforts to generate durable shareholder value.

![02_438981-3_ticker_Check.jpg](solv-20260327_g111.jpg)**Reward Competitively:** The program should be designed so that it is appropriately benchmarked and rewards strong performance.

2025 Performance summary

Fiscal year 2025 marked Solventum's first full year as a public company and a period of meaningful progress. The Company launched its long-range plan, prioritized five growth drivers, strengthened its leadership team with transformation experience, enhanced its innovation pipeline, and advanced portfolio optimization, including the sale of the Purification & Filtration business and completion of the Company's first acquisition. Solventum over delivered on both its top and bottom line, supported by stronger volume trends, improved margins, and nearly tripled year-over-year organic revenue growth. These results were achieved while executing a complex separation and accelerating transformation initiatives.

Solventum delivered on its strategic, operational and financial commitments and is on an accelerated trajectory for the future based on 2025 performance.

**Executive officer transitions**

Mr. Barry, EVP and Group President Medical Surgical left the organization effective December 31, 2025 as announced October 17, 2025. Upon execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims, Mr. Barry was entitled to receive severance benefits applicable for termination without cause under the Solventum Executive Severance Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") and his outstanding equity awards were treated in accordance with the applicable award agreements (as provided under the Executive Severance Plan).

Solventum announced on October 17, 2025 the appointment of Heather Knight as Chief Commercial Officer effective November 10, 2025. Ms. Knight oversees all global commercial and R&D operations across the Company's Medical Surgical, Dental Solutions and Health Information Systems segments and reports directly to CEO Bryan Hanson. Ms. Knight's annual compensation consists of an annual base salary of $800,000 and a target AIP of 100% of her base salary and long-term incentives. In addition, Solventum provided make-whole compensation arrangements to Ms. Knight for the loss of certain compensation from her previous employer by providing a $2,000,000 make-whole new hire cash award and a make-whole new hire Restricted Stock Unit award with an intended value of $6,000,000 that vests annually over three years. If Ms. Knight's employment is voluntarily terminated within 2 years of her start date, certain payments are subject to forfeiture.

2025 Pay elements

**1. Base salary** 

Base Salary is the only fixed component of our executive compensation program. The Talent Committee believes salary should be commensurate with each executive officer's roles, responsibilities and experience, and be competitive with peer group company pay levels for similar positions.

The CEO recommends to the Talent Committee base salary changes for executive officers (other than himself) based on performance, retention, internal benchmarking, and comparisons to market practices for similar executive officers. Recommendations are reviewed by, and subject to the approval of, the Talent Committee. The following table provides the annual base salary rate for each of our NEOs in 2025. Mr. Hanson's base salary remained the same and he received no increase in 2025.

**2. Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP")**

The Talent Committee designed an AIP to incentivize and reward executives for achieving performance goals that are aligned with the Company's financial, operational and strategic initiatives. While this CD&A focuses on NEO compensation, the AIP is a broad-based plan that extends beyond NEOs to other employees to emphasize alignment across the organization.

At the beginning of each annual performance cycle, the Talent Committee establishes financial performance metrics and goals with target, minimum and maximum thresholds. In order to focus executives on growth, profitability and the efficient use of capital, the Talent Committee approved Constant Currency Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income and Free Cash Flow as the performance metrics for the 2025 AIP with the relative weightings set forth below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **50%** | **30%** | **20%** |
| **Constant Currency Revenue** | **Adjusted Operating Income** | **Free Cash Flow** |

---

The aggregate of the achieved results is referred to as the "Business Performance Factor."

The AIP is designed so that the Talent Committee will also evaluate individual performance for each NEO (other than the CEO) based on recommendations from the CEO, and will determine an individual performance multiplier for each NEO at the end of the applicable period, taking into account the CEO's assessment of the achievement of strategic and operational goals. The CEO's individual goals are developed by the Talent Committee and approved by the full Board. This individual performance multiplier is then applied to the Business Performance Factor to determine the final payout for each NEO, which can result in an increase or decrease of up to 30%. In 2025, the Company increased the individual performance modifier from +/- 20% to +/- 30% to drive greater pay differentiation and recognize top performers. There is no payment under the individual modifier if AIP minimum performance thresholds are not met.

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

The Talent Committee sets challenging operational and financial performance targets that drive and motivate executives to achieve short- and long-term success. There was a rigorous planning process with the Board in developing the Long-Range Plan and the Annual Operating Plan. The Board developed and reviewed the 2025 AIP targets consistent with the approved 2025 Annual Operating Plan, incorporating input from external advisors and peer benchmarking on incentive plan design and target-setting.

In developing the 2025 AIP targets, the Talent Committee considered the following factors that were expected to be headwinds against the business in 2025 compared to actual 2024 results: Constant Currency Revenue's lower target was mainly influenced by resetting of foreign exchange rates and strategic SKU rationalization for the new annual operating plan. Adjusted Operating Income was anticipated to be negatively impacted by lower gross margins, due to 3M supply agreement pricing mark-up, and an increase in operating expenses related to public company stand-up costs and growth investments. Free Cash Flow was expected to be impacted by separation costs. An additional consideration in setting 2025 targets compared to 2024 actual results include the recognition that Solventum's first quarter 2024 results were reported on a carve-out basis when the Company was still owned by 3M, as opposed to reflecting our actual stand-alone operations. The Committee considered the targets to be rigorous when set.

Solventum's 2025 performance in the first full year since its initial public offering reflects the critical foundational work by the leadership team undertaken at the outset of the Company's life as public company. The decision to quickly and effectively restructure roles and hire new talent across the organization, with a focus on strong MedTech and transformation experience, reflects critical foresight and has been key to establishing a winning culture – while simultaneously navigating separation activities and major ERP implementations without disrupting execution or strategy. With the right talent across the Company, the leadership team has established a growth mindset. A comprehensive sales-force restructuring, and a revitalized innovation pipeline, drove a meaningful increase in our vitality index, while commercial execution has improved, resulting in a substantial acceleration in organic sales growth.

The resulting performance has been well above expectations. Solventum's volume growth strengthened, and annual organic revenue growth nearly tripled compared to the prior year and the Company delivered enhanced margins, which remains a key area of focus going forward. These results were delivered while simultaneously advancing the complex separation through strength of execution and rapid transformation, including through portfolio optimization and the resulting debt reduction from the sale of P&F. In addition, Solventum completed its first acquisition, further advancing the portfolio strategy.

The Company is now on track to achieve its Long-Range Plan faster than expected. Overall, Solventum's 2025 above-target AIP achievement aligns with strong 2025 performance and reflects the company's momentum as a newly independent organization.

Individual performance multiplier

In addition to rigorous company performance goals, the Talent Committee includes an assessment of individual performance in determining AIP award payouts. The individual performance multiplier was determined for each NEO based on the CEO's assessment and recommendation to the Talent Committee. A similar process was followed by the Talent Committee for the CEO's individual modifier and recommended to the Board for approval. In awarding individual performance, the Talent Committee recognized the strong contributions of the entire leadership team in advancing the Company's mission during its first full year as a public company.

Overall, the executive team exceeded expectations in both top-line organic sales growth and bottom-line non-GAAP EPS. These results were successfully delivered in a year characterized by significant headwinds. The substantial achievements of the executive team in taking decisive strategic action throughout the organization and in connection with the portfolio optimization strategy, were clear contributing factors to the Company's performance and path to long-term value creation. The executive team is focused on sustaining focused on sustaining the Company's progress and further accelerating the momentum the team has built. Key accomplishments included:

**•** Completing the divestiture of the Purification & Filtration business, enabling the Company to reduce debt by approximately $2 billion, strengthening its balance sheet allowing for stronger financial flexibility in the future;

Adjustments related to AIP payouts

In determining payouts under the Company's annual incentive plan for fiscal year 2025, the Talent Committee considered certain items to ensure that incentive outcomes appropriately reflected underlying operating performance and management's execution against the pre-established 2025 operating plan. In particular, the Talent Committee believed it was appropriate to consider adjustments related to the divestiture of the Company's P&F business, the acquisition of Acera Surgical, separation-related or transaction costs and the effects of tariffs that were volatile and not contemplated in the annual operating plan. These items arose after performance goals had been established and in certain cases were outside management's control. The Committee determined that excluding the impact of such items, when applicable, provided a more meaningful assessment of results from continuing operations and management's performance, while preserving alignment between incentive compensation outcomes and the company's annual performance goals, and maintaining the integrity of the pay-for-performance framework.

**3. Long-term equity awards**

The Talent Committee grants long-term equity awards on an annual basis that vest over a period of three years. As part of our annual process, the Talent Committee considers updated peer group market data and performance when determining long-term incentive award values.

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

In 2025, these awards were equally split between PSUs and time-vesting RSUs ("annual PSUs" and "annual RSUs"). The table below presents the annual RSUs and annual PSUs granted to the NEOs for 2025. For the annual PSUs, the award values shown below were used to determine the number of Solventum shares the NEOs received, calculated using the closing sales price of Company common stock on the grant date, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Performance share units ("PSUs")

The Talent Committee places a significant emphasis on performance-based long-term incentives by granting annual PSUs that vest based on Company performance against preset goals.

These awards vest at the end of a three-year period and will only vest if the predetermined cumulative performance conditions are achieved, subject to the NEO's continued service through the applicable vesting date (except as disclosed in the "Potential payments upon termination or change in control" section below).

**2025 Performance metrics**

For the 2025 – 2027 performance period, in order to focus executives on long-term profitable growth, the Talent Committee approved Constant Currency Revenue, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) and relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") as the performance metrics for the annual PSUs it granted in 2025 (the "2025 PSUs") with the relative weightings set forth below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **50%** | **30%** | **20%** |
| **Constant Currency**<br>**Revenue Growth**<br>3 years | **Adjusted**<br> **Earnings Per Share (EPS)**<br>3 years | **Relative Total**<br>**Shareholder Return (rTSR)**<br>3 years |

| **Constant Currency Revenue Growth (50%)** | 50% | 100% | 200% |
| **Adjusted EPS (30%)** | 50% | 100% | 200% |
| **Relative Total Shareholder Return (20%)** | 50% | 100% | 200% |

**PSU goal setting**

**PSU Goal Setting for 2024**

Following the Separation, the Talent Committee conducted an analysis of the various methodologies to set the target, threshold and maximum levels for the 2024 PSUs. For the initial awards, the Talent Committee approved a cumulative

|:---|:---|
| 2026 Proxy statement | **51** |

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

three-year performance period with targets to be set on an annual basis. Under this program design, the annual goals would aggregate to three-year cumulative absolute goals where no portion of the award would vest until the end of the three-year performance period and achievement of such three-year cumulative goals. The Talent Committee believed that this approach would maximize the incentive value of the grants while reducing the volatility of payouts given the difficulty of setting long-term goals as a newly public company.

In 2025, after further evaluating the 2024 PSU goal setting methodology and with consideration of the Company's long-range plan, the Talent Committee decided that it was in a better position to set two-year Constant Currency Revenue and Adjusted EPS performance goals for the combined 2025 and 2026 fiscal years (rather than individual one-year goals as originally anticipated). As a result, the three-year cumulative performance goals for the 2024 PSUs will be determined based on the one-year 2024 goals previously set by the Talent Committee and the two-year 2025-2026 goals to be set by the Talent Committee in 2025. The Talent Committee believes that these goals are challenging but achievable as the Company executes against the long-range plan. The Talent Committee believes this adjustment to the performance-goal setting methodology more closely aligns with the long-term interests of our shareholders, enhances the sustainability of our performance objectives and improves the alignment between executive pay and long-term performance. The specific Constant Currency Revenue and Adjusted EPS performance goals set for the 2024 PSUs are maintained by us as proprietary and confidential. The Talent Committee believes that disclosure of these specific performance goals would represent competitive harm to us as the 2025 - 2026 cumulative performance goals and results are not publicly disclosed and are competitively sensitive. The Company plans to disclose the specific performance goals when it reports on the final earned amount of the 2024 PSUs at the conclusion of the cumulative three-year performance period.

**PSU goal setting for 2025 and beyond**

In 2025, the Company transitioned to preset goals for a three-year cumulative performance period and expects to continue with this approach in the future. The Talent Committee also expects to set goals consistent with the Company's long range plan. TSR is relative to the S&P500 Healthcare Index and target achievement is set to the 50th percentile. The Company does not disclose its forward looking PSU goals for Constant Currency Revenue or Adjusted EPS as it would cause competitive harm.

Restricted stock units ("RSUs")

To strengthen the alignment of executives' interests with those of long-term shareholders, executives also receive time-vesting annual RSUs. The 2025 annual RSUs vest ratably on an annual basis over three years. Vesting in all cases is subject to the NEO's continued service through the applicable vesting date, except as disclosed in the "Potential payments upon termination or change in control" section below.

**4. Benefits & other pay elements**

The NEOs participate in the same broad-based benefits available to most of the Company's U.S. employees such as health care, dental, vision, welfare, disability, life insurance, and the VIP (as defined below) 401(k) and retirement plans. The NEOs are also eligible to receive certain additional benefits and perquisites such as additional group term life insurance and relocation assistance for moves required by Solventum. The Company also provides reasonable personal aircraft use to our CEO (as described in the "Other Compensation" section of this proxy statement) and to our CFO (through a time sharing agreement under which he must reimburse the Company for the aggregate incremental cost of such use). The Company believes that the benefits and perquisites offered generally are similar to those of our peers and assist in attracting and retaining executives. These additional benefits and perquisites generally are provided on a consistent basis only to a limited group of our most senior U.S. employees (including all of the NEOs). Solventum does not provide tax gross ups on any perquisites other than taxable relocation benefits.

Retirement plans

The Solventum Portfolio III Voluntary Investment Plan (the "VIP") is a tax-qualified defined contribution plan, under which eligible employees may contribute a percentage of their eligible pay to their 401(k) accounts and/or their after-tax savings accounts. Eligible employees receive Solventum matching contributions on their pre-tax or Roth 401(k) contributions to the plan on up to five percent of their eligible pay and also receive additional automatic Solventum retirement income contributions equal to three percent of their eligible pay.

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

The Solventum VIP Excess Plan is a non-qualified defined contribution plan. Eligibility for this plan and the Company contributions is limited to employees whose compensation exceeds a limit established by federal income tax laws for tax-qualified defined contribution plans. The plan permits eligible employees to save additional amounts from their current cash compensation beyond the contribution limits established by federal tax laws, and to receive Company contributions similar to those provided under the tax-qualified VIP.

Severance and change in control arrangements

Solventum has an Executive Severance Plan and a Change in Control Severance Plan, which provide separation payments and benefits to certain U.S. executives, including the NEOs, in the event of a qualifying termination of their employment. Among other things, these plans are intended to support talent recruitment and retention objectives (especially at times when there are uncertainties around restructurings and reductions in force) and to provide a consistent approach to executive departures. Additional information concerning the benefits made available under the Executive Severance Plan and the Change in Control Severance Plan and the circumstances under which benefits will be made available can be found under the "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control." Solventum does not provide excise tax gross ups on severance, or any other payments provided in connection with a change-in-control event.

Peer group benchmarking

The Talent Committee has developed a compensation peer group to better understand and evaluate the appropriateness and competitiveness of our executive compensation. The analysis, construction and design of the peer group was informed by the peer group data and input from Korn Ferry, the Talent Committee's independent compensation consultant.

Peer group criteria

In order to compile an appropriate peer group, the Talent Committee reviewed a set of companies that included some or all of these following characteristics:

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

Compensation governance and policies

Annual compensation risk assessment

The executive compensation programs described in this CD&A have been specifically designed to address and mitigate potential risks, with features such as performance thresholds and maximums, stock ownership guidelines, insider trading policies and compensation clawback or recoupment policies.

The Talent Committee, in consultation with management, conducts an annual assessment of the potential risks related to our compensation policies, practices and programs. The study was conducted by Korn Ferry based on information provided by management and reviewed by the Talent Committee. The assessment reviews, among other factors, short-term and long-term performance programs, performance measures and goals, and the effectiveness of risk oversight.

Based on the assessment conducted for the year under review, the Talent Committee has concluded that our compensation program does not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Stock ownership guidelines

The Board has approved and adopted stock ownership guidelines that are applicable to each of Section 16 reporting officers and non-employee directors.

Each individual is expected to maintain the level of Solventum stock ownership as outlined in the table below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Individual** | **Stock ownership requirement** |
| CEO or Executive Chair | 6x Base Salary |
| Executive Leadership Team | 3x Base Salary |
| Any other Section 16 position | 2x Base Salary |
| Non-Executive Director | 5x Annual Retainer |

---

Pursuant to the policy, the number of shares required will be calculated using a multiple (based on the table) of annual base salary at the time of appointment to Section 16 reporting officer status, divided by the closing price of Solventum stock on that date, and will be periodically updated and recalculated. Eligible stock includes shares owned directly or indirectly by executives as well as unvested time-based RSUs. For the initial calculation under these guidelines, a covered executive will have five (5) years (from time of appointment to Section 16 reporting officer status) to meet the required level of ownership. As of December 31, 2025, both Executive Officers and Board members have satisfied their ownership requirements.

Recoupment policy

Solventum has a Recoupment Policy that is intended to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and the corresponding listing rules of the NYSE (together, the "Clawback Rules"), as well as Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. There are two types of events that are covered by the Recoupment Policy.

First, in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, then the Recoupment Policy requires the Company to recover, reasonably promptly, any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers of the Company, including the NEOs, in accordance with and subject to certain limited exceptions under the Clawback Rules, regardless of the fault or conduct of the executive or the application of discretion on behalf of the Talent Committee.

Second, in the event that there has been (i) an act of misconduct by a Covered Employee (as defined below) that has caused or might reasonably be expected to cause significant financial or reputational harm to the Company or its affiliates, or (ii) an improper or grossly negligent failure of a Covered Employee, including in a supervisory capacity, to identify, escalate, monitor or manage, in a timely manner and as reasonably expected, risks material to the Company or its affiliates, which has caused or might reasonably be expected to cause significant financial or reputational harm to the

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

Company or its affiliates, then, subject to the Recoupment Policy administrator's discretion, the Recoupment Policy requires the reimbursement or forfeiture of all compensation granted, paid or earned pursuant to the Company's annual incentive compensation program, long-term incentive program and sales incentive program, including, all incentive-based compensation, annual cash incentive payments, sales incentives, cash bonuses, PSUs, stock options, and RSUs received by a Covered Employee which the administrator of the Recoupment Policy, in its discretion, determines would not have been awarded or earned if the circumstances surrounding the Covered Employee's misconduct or failure of risk management had been known to the administrator. This part of the policy generally applies to employees at the Vice President level or above ("Covered Employees") in order to promote the Company's culture of compliance, further develop a compensation scheme that rewards integrity and accountability, and reinforce the Company's pay-for-performance and compliance compensation philosophy across the entire organization, while furthering the Company's efforts to mitigate compensation risk.

In addition to any other reimbursement or forfeiture described elsewhere in the Recoupment Policy, the Company requires the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (and may require, for any other Covered Employee, in the discretion of the administrator of the Recoupment Policy) to reimburse the Company for profits the Covered Employee realized on the sale of Company securities during the 12-month period following the issuance by the Company of a financial report that, due to the Covered Employee's misconduct, is materially noncompliant with the federal securities laws.

Solventum made no recoupments under the Recoupment Policy in 2025. A copy of the Recoupment Policy is filed as an exhibit to Solventum's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Long term incentive grant practices

The Company does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. None of the NEOs received stock option or stock appreciation right awards in 2025.

Separation from 3M

As disclosed in last year's proxy, due to the timing of the Separation from 3M on April 1, 2024, some decisions that impacted the fiscal year 2024 NEO compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table were made by the Compensation & Talent Committee of 3M's Board of Directors (the "3M CTC") and were aligned with 3M's compensation philosophies and policies.

Prior to and in preparation of the Separation, the 3M CTC appointed executives who became Solventum's executive team. NEOs were hired by 3M CTC and offer letters included hiring bonuses, inducement PSUs and make-whole awards. For further detail related to 2024 compensation, please refer to our 2025 proxy statement filed on March 21, 2025.

Trading policy and prohibition on pledging and hedging

Solventum has adopted stock trading policies that prohibit insider trading, and also prohibit its directors, executive officers and other employees from:

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

Insider trading policy

Solventum maintains an insider trading policy ("Insider Trading Policy") applicable to directors, officers, employees and other related individuals such as consultants, as well as Solventum itself, that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable NYSE listing standards. In addition to the restrictions above, trading of Solventum's securities by its directors, officers, employees and other related individuals is permitted only during announced trading periods or in accordance with a previously established trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that is pre-approved and meets SEC requirements. At all times, including during announced trading periods, certain insiders are required to obtain pre-clearance prior to executing any transactions in Solventum securities, unless those transactions occur in accordance with a previously established trading plan that was approved and meets SEC requirements. A copy of the Insider Trading Policy is filed as an exhibit to Solventum's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Process for determining compensation

**Role of the Talent Committee**

The Talent Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, oversees and administers our executive compensation program. The Talent Committee oversees our annual incentive plan and long-term equity incentive plans, evaluates performance to determine payouts earned and paid under our compensation plans, determines compensation policies and practices, makes recommendations to our Board with respect to director compensation policies as well as the performance and compensation of our CEO, and seeks to ensure that total compensation paid to our executive officers is fair, competitive, and aligned with shareholder interests.

Our Talent Committee has the ability to hire outside advisors, when needed, to assist it in reviewing and revising our executive compensation programs.

The duties and responsibilities of our Talent Committee can be found in our Talent Committee Charter which is available on our website, **www.solventum.com**, under the "Governance" subsection of the "Investors" section.

**Role of CEO** 

Our CEO provides the Talent Committee with an annual performance assessment of each of his direct reports, along with recommendations to the Talent Committee on the compensation to be paid or awarded to each executive.

Our CEO also provides a self-assessment of his performance, which serves as input for the Talent Committee's assessment of CEO performance. Our CEO does not participate in any deliberations regarding his own compensation.

**Role of the compensation consultant**

Our Talent Committee has the authority to hire external advisors as appropriate. To provide independent and informed compensation advice, the Talent Committee retained Korn Ferry as its independent compensation consultant.

Korn Ferry reports directly to the Talent Committee, and provides market data, analysis and recommendations on trends in CEO, executive and non-employee director compensation, the development of specific executive compensation programs and the composition of the company's compensation peer group used for market comparisons.

Our Talent Committee annually assesses Korn Ferry's independence and, in accordance with applicable SEC and NYSE rules, confirmed that Korn Ferry's engagement as independent compensation consultant did not raise any conflicts of interest and that it remains independent under applicable rules.

Tax deductibility of NEO compensation

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), compensation paid to each of the CEO, the CFO, and certain of our other highly paid employees (together, "covered employees") that exceeds $1 million per taxable year is generally non-deductible. Although the Talent Committee may review and consider tax implications as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Talent Committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to provide compensation for the Company's covered employees in a manner consistent with the goals of the Company's executive compensation program and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, which may include providing for compensation that is not deductible by the Company due to the deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the Code.

**Compensation discussion and analysis**

Accounting considerations

We follow FASB ASC Topic 718 for our stock-based compensation awards. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including RSUs and PSUs, based on the grant date fair value of these awards. Depending upon the type of vesting conditions applicable to PSUs, FASB ASC Topic 718 may require the recording of compensation expense over the service period for the award based on the grant date fair value or based on the expected probability of vesting over the vesting period, subject to adjustment as such probability may vary from period to period.

<sup>(1)</sup> Further detail on our 2024 compensation can be found in our 2025 proxy filed March 21, 2025.

<sup>(2)</sup> Amounts shown in the Salary column reflect annual salary earned

<sup>(3)</sup> Amounts shown in the Salary and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation columns are not reduced by any deferrals under our deferred compensation plans.

<sup>(4)</sup> The amount for Mr. Hanson reflects the second installment of the make-whole cash award granted to him by 3M upon his start date on September 1, 2023 to compensate him for cash incentives forfeited as a result of his leaving his prior employer which vested on September 1, 2024. The amount for Ms. Knight reflects the amount of the hiring bonus she received upon her start date on November 10, 2025 to compensate her for incentives forfeited from her prior employer. The amount for Ms. Landucci reflects the amount of the hiring bonus she received from 3M prior to the Separation upon her start date on January 1, 2024.

<sup>(5)</sup> Stock awards include grants of RSUs and PSUs, both of which are described in the CD&A. For 2025, the amounts in the Stock Awards column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value, computed in accordance with ASC 718, of RSUs and PSUs granted during each year. The grant date fair value of Ms. Knight's award reported in the table is lower than the $6,000,000 value approved by the Committee and disclosed in the CD&A due to a delay in the grant effective date after her start date, the calculation of the value in accordance with ASC 718 and change in share price between such calculation and the date Ms. Knight's award was issued. The amounts included in this column for the 2025 PSUs are calculated based on the probable satisfaction of the performance conditions for such awards. If the highest level of performance is achieved for all 2025 PSU awards, the maximum value of each NEO's 2025 PSUs would be as follows: Mr. Hanson - $14,500,120; Mr. McMillan - $4,000,132; Ms. Kirberger - $1,900,014; Ms. Landucci - $1,725,054; and Mr. Barry - $3,000,061.

<sup>(6)</sup> The amounts in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column reflect the annual incentive compensation actually earned by each NEO in respect of 2025 pursuant to the Company's AIP. Mr. Barry was not eligible to receive a payout under the Company's AIP because he departed the Company during 2025; however, he was entitled to a payment in respect of the AIP pursuant to the terms of the Executive Severance Plan.

<sup>(7)</sup> See the All Other Compensation table below for details on the amounts reported for 2025.

<sup>(1)</sup> Abbreviations: AIP = Annual Cash Incentive; PSU = performance share award; RSU = restricted stock unit award.

<sup>(2)</sup> The amount shown under "Estimated possible payouts under non-equity incentive plan awards" reflect the threshold, target, and maximum amounts that could have been earned by each NEO during 2025 under the AIP assuming continued employment through the end of the year. For more information, see the "2025 Pay elements" section of the CD&A. The amounts actually earned by each NEO in respect of 2025 pursuant to the Company's AIP are reflected in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

<sup>(3)</sup> The amounts shown under "Estimated future payouts under equity incentive plan awards" reflect the threshold, target, and maximum number of shares of Solventum common stock that may be earned by each NEO with respect to the 2025 PSUs. The actual number of shares of Solventum common stock to be delivered as a result of the 2025 PSUs will be determined by the performance of the Company during the three-year performance period of 2025-2027, as measured against the criteria chosen by the Talent Committee (Constant Currency Revenue Growth, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Relative TSR). For more information on the performance metrics, please see the "2025 Pay Elements: Long-term Equity Awards - PSUs" section of the CD&A.

<sup>(4)</sup> The amounts shown in this column reflect the number of shares of Solventum common stock subject to RSUs granted to each NEO during 2025. The RSUs granted on March 6, 2025 were part of the Company's annual equity grants and they will vest in three equal installments on each of March 6, 2026, March 6, 2027, and March 6, 2028. Ms. Knight received a new-hire make-whole RSU award to compensate her for compensation forfeited from her prior employer effective on November 17, 2025, and such RSUs will vest in three equal installments on each of November 17, 2026, November 17, 2027, and November 17, 2028.

The VIP Excess Plan allows eligible employees, including the NEOs, to defer until retirement from the Company the receipt of 2-10% of their base salary and AIP payments earned during the plan year, provided that the percentage of contributed compensation must be the same as the employee's elective deferral percentage under the tax qualified VIP during the plan year. The plan allows the eligible employees to elect to receive payment of their account balances in the form of either a single lump sum payment or in up to ten annual installments. Earnings are credited to the amounts deferred based on the returns paid on the investment funds available to participants in Solventum's tax-qualified VIP with limited exclusions or a fixed rate of return based on corporate bond yields (as selected by each participant).

<sup>(1)</sup> The amounts contributed by Mr. Hanson, Ms. Kirberger, and Ms. Landucci have been included in the Summary Compensation Table as Salary earned in 2025 or, in the case of Mr. Hanson, his amount includes $148,459 of AIP earned for fiscal 2024 that was contributed in 2025.

<sup>(2)</sup> All amounts contributed by the Company on behalf of the NEOs during 2025 are included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table. Earnings are credited to the amounts deferred based on the returns paid on the investment funds available to the participants under the tax-qualified Solventum VIP.

<sup>(3)</sup> None of these amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table as compensation earned in 2025 because the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan does not provide above-market or preferential earnings.

<sup>(4)</sup> Includes the following amounts reported as compensation for 2024 in the Summary Compensation Table: Mr. Hanson - $196,007; Mr McMillan - $15,095; Ms. Knight - $0; Ms. Kirberger - $0; Ms. Landucci - $9,589; Mr. Barry - $14,025.

<sup>(5)</sup> The aggregate balance for Mr. Barry also reflects an increase of $2,029 from the balance reported for him in our proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting to correct the prior year amounts.

Potential payments upon termination or change in control ("CIC")

As reflected in the CD&A, Solventum has no fixed-term employment agreements with any of the NEOs. We also do not have any change in control plans or arrangements that would provide automatic "single-trigger" accelerated vesting of equity compensation (other than in the event the acquirer does not agree to assume or substitute such equity compensation) or excise tax gross-up payments to any of our NEOs in the event of a change in control of the Company. The Company's equity award agreements and the NEO Offer Letters provide for certain enhanced benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, as further described below. Solventum also maintains two severance plans: the Solventum Executive Severance Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") and the Solventum Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the "CIC Severance Plan").

The Executive Severance Plan is maintained to provide separation benefits in the event an eligible employee's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Misconduct (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or an eligible employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan).

The CIC Severance Plan provides enhanced severance protections for certain executives (including the NEOs) in connection with a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control of the Company. Any benefits payable under the CIC Severance Plan are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan.

Together, these plans provide separation benefits to certain U.S. employees (including the NEOs) who incur a qualifying termination. In addition, certain of the Company's executive compensation and benefit plans provide all participants (including the NEOs) with certain rights or the right to receive payments in the event of the termination of their employment or upon a change in control of the Company. The terms applicable to these potential rights or payments in various situations are described below.

Estimate of potential payments upon termination

The amounts payable to or on behalf of each of the NEOs in the event of death, disability or a qualifying termination— whether in connection with or not in connection with a change in control—are reflected in the table below, excluding amounts that are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to all similarly situated employees. The table assumes that each NEO's employment had terminated and/or a change in control of the Company had occurred on December 31, 2025.

<sup>(1)</sup> None of the NEOs are currently retirement eligible. Upon reaching retirement eligibility (generally attaining age 55 with at least 10 years of service), the NEOs will be entitled to receive the following benefits upon retirement: (i) pro-rated AIP payment for the year of retirement; (ii) continued vesting of annual RSUs; and (iii) continued vesting of annual PSUs based on actual performance, with target PSUs prorated on a quarterly basis based on time employed through the first 12 months of the performance period.

<sup>(2)</sup> In the event of a termination of employment due to death, the respective estates/beneficiaries of the NEOs are entitled to receive: (i) a prorated AIP payment for the year of termination; (ii) immediate vesting of all unvested RSUs; (iii) vesting of all PSUs, based on actual performance if the death occurs following the completion of the performance period and the lesser of the target value or such other amount as determined by the Talent Committee in its discretion if the death occurs prior to the completion of the performance period; (iv) full vesting of the NEO's VIP accounts; and (v) payment of the proceeds from the life insurance policy provided for such NEO pursuant to the Company's Executive Life Insurance Plan.

<sup>(3)</sup> In the event of a termination of employment due to disability, the NEOs are entitled to receive: (i) a prorated AIP payment for the year of termination; (ii) immediate vesting of all RSUs; (iii) continued vesting of all PSUs, based on actual performance; and (iv) full vesting of the NEO's VIP accounts.

<sup>(4)</sup> Pursuant to the Executive Severance Plan, in the event an NEO's employment is terminated by Solventum other than for Misconduct (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or if an NEO resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan), subject to executing a release of claims, such NEO would be entitled to: (i) cash severance in an amount equal to (A) continued payment of annual base salary for a number of months (24 months for Mr. Hanson and 18 months for all other NEOs (the applicable "severance payment period")), and (B) continued payment of AIP payments that would have been paid if the NEO remained employed through the end of the severance payment period, calculated based on actual results for the relevant year (but capped at 100% of target), using the NEO's final performance rating as of the end of the applicable year (or if none, a performance rating of "fully meets expectations" or equivalent), and prorated for any partial years based on the number of calendar days in the year preceding the end of the severance payment period; (ii) accelerated vesting and payment of a prorated portion of the NEO's outstanding RSUs for each vesting tranche, with proration based on the ratio of whole years of employment service completed since the award's grant date to the years of service required to vest in that tranche under the applicable vesting schedule; (iii) continued vesting of annual PSUs based on actual performance, with target annual PSUs prorated based on the number of whole calendar months employed through the applicable performance period; (iv) full vesting of the NEO's VIP accounts; and (v) outplacement services in accordance with Solventum's policy. Further, in the event an NEO's employment is terminated by Solventum other than for Misconduct (as defined in the applicable award agreement) or if an NEO resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable award agreement), the inducement PSU award agreements provide for continued vesting of such PSUs based on actual performance, with target inducement PSUs prorated on a quarterly basis based on time employed through the first 12 months of the performance period. In addition, in the event Mr. Hanson is terminated by Solventum for a reason other than Misconduct (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in his offer letter), his offer letter provides for the accelerated vesting and settlement of his outstanding Make-Whole RSU Award. Additionally, in the event Mr. McMillan or Ms. Landucci are terminated by Solventum for a reason other than Misconduct (as defined in the Executive Severance Plan) or they resign for Good Reason (as defined in their respective Offer Letters), their offer letters provide for any unvested portion of their Make-Whole RSU Awards to automatically remain outstanding and continue to vest as if the NEO had not experienced a termination of employment. Further, in the event Ms. Knight is terminated by Solventum for a reason other than Misconduct (as defined in her award agreement), her award agreement provides for any unvested portion of her Make-Whole RSU Award to automatically remain outstanding and continue to vest as if Ms. Knight had not experienced a termination of employment.

<sup>(5)</sup> Pursuant to the CIC Severance Plan, if the Company terminates an NEO's employment for reasons other than Misconduct (as defined in the CIC Severance Plan), or if an NEO resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the CIC Severance Plan), in any such case during the period of time beginning six-months prior to the first occurrence of a change in control of the Company and lasting through the eighteen-month anniversary of such occurrence of a change in control (the "Change in Control Period"), subject to the NEO executing and not revoking a release of claims and continued compliance with any applicable restrictive covenant obligations, such NEO would receive the following benefits: (i) cash severance in an amount equal to the NEO's base salary plus target annual cash bonus for the year of termination multiplied by the NEO's applicable severance multiplier (2.5 for Mr. Hanson and 2 for all other NEOs); (ii) a pro-rated AIP payment (based on target) for the year in which the termination occurs; (iii) accelerated vesting of all outstanding RSUs granted on or following the effective date of the CIC Severance Plan (the "CIC Severance Plan Effective Date"); (iv) outstanding RSUs previously granted and outstanding as of the CIC Severance Plan Effective Date will be treated in accordance with the terms of the plan and applicable award agreements, which, with respect to a qualifying termination that occurs (a) within the eighteen month period immediately following a change in control only, provide for immediate vesting of such RSUs, and (b) within the six month period immediately prior to the change in control, such RSUs shall be treated as described under footnote 4; (v) all outstanding PSUs granted on or following the CIC Severance Plan Effective Date will be treated in accordance with the terms of the plan and applicable award agreements, which provide for immediate vesting of such PSUs at target level upon a qualifying termination that occurs during the Change in Control Period and prior to the completion of the applicable performance period; (vi) all outstanding PSUs granted prior to the CIC Severance Plan Effective Date, will be treated in accordance with the terms of the plan and applicable award agreements, which, with respect to a qualifying termination that occurs: (a) within the eighteen (18) month period immediately following such change in control only, provide for (x) with respect to any completed calendar year(s) during the applicable performance period, the vesting of such PSUs that would otherwise have been eligible to vest based on actual performance for such calendar year(s) and (y) with respect to any other calendar year(s), the vesting of the greatest of (A) the PSUs that would have been eligible to vest for such calendar year(s) if the Company's performance relative to the performance objectives for such calendar year(s) equaled its actual annualized performance during those calendar quarters completed during the calendar year in which such qualifying terminations occurs and prior to the date of such qualifying termination, (B) the PSUs that would have been eligible to vest for such calendar year(s) if the Company's performance relative to the performance objectives for such calendar year(s) equaled its average actual annual performance for the most recent three consecutive calendar year period ending on or before the date of the qualifying termination, or (C) such other number of PSUs determined by the Talent Committee, in its discretion; provided, however, that the resulting number of PSUs that vest pursuant to the foregoing shall be prorated to reflect the number of full calendar months during the performance period that elapsed prior to the date of the qualifying termination, and (b) within the six month period immediately prior to the change in control, such PSUs shall be treated as described under footnote 4; (vii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to the amount of the COBRA premiums required to continue the Company's medical and dental coverage in effect for the NEO, the NEO's spouse, and the NEO's dependents for a number of months following termination (30 months for Mr. Hanson and 24 for the other NEOs); (viii) full vesting of the NEO's VIP accounts; and (ix) outplacement services in accordance with Company policy. Pursuant to the terms of the CIC Severance Plan, certain payments and benefits may be subject to reduction if they otherwise would cause the recipient to incur an excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code and the reduction would place the participant in a better after-tax position than if the participant received such payments and benefits. The amounts set forth in this column do not reflect the effect of any such reduction.

<sup>(6)</sup> Amounts shown reflect cash severance payable to the NEO as described under clause (i) of footnotes 4 and 5. For purposes of the disclosure for a Qualifying termination not in connection with a CIC, the disclosure assumes AIP payment at actual performance for 2025 and at target performance for future AIP payments within the severance period.

<sup>(7)</sup> Amounts shown reflect a prorated portion of 2025's AIP payment depending on the number of days the NEO worked prior to the date of his or her termination or death in such year, assuming the NEO was terminated on December 31, 2025, and reflect actual performance. For a Qualifying termination in connection with a CIC, an NEO is typically entitled to a pro-rata AIP payment (based on target). If a participant works through the end of the applicable performance year, the Company has the discretion to determine that such participant is eligible to receive 100% of the AIP payment earned (based on actual performance) for such year. As a result, since the NEO is assumed to have been terminated on December 31, 2025 for purposes of this disclosure, we have assumed the Company has exercised discretion to pay the AIP based on actual performance for 2025 since it is in excess of target.

<sup>(8)</sup> Amounts shown reflect the value, assuming achievement of target performance goals, of PSUs for which the three-year performance period has not been completed (adjusted to reflect the closing price of a share of Solventum common stock on the NYSE for December 31, 2025 ($79.24)), and which would either be paid upon, or continue to vest following, the occurrence of the respective triggering events in accordance with the terms of the awards, as described above.

<sup>(9)</sup> Amounts shown reflect the value of the shares underlying the unvested RSUs that would immediately or continue to vest upon the occurrence of the respective triggering events in accordance with the terms of the awards, as described above. For Mr. Hanson, Mr. McMillan, Ms. Knight and Ms. Landucci, the amounts also include the value of the shares underlying their respective Make-Whole RSU award that would vest upon the occurrence of the respective triggering events. Share values are based on the closing price of a share of Solventum common stock on the NYSE for December 31, 2025 ($79.24).

<sup>(10)</sup> Amounts shown reflect the value that would fully vest under the NEO's VIP accounts in connection with a qualifying termination of employment under the Executive Severance Plan or CIC Severance Plan, as applicable.

<sup>(11)</sup> Amounts shown reflect the group term life insurance proceeds that would be payable to each NEO's beneficiary or beneficiaries pursuant to the policies obtained for them under the Company's Executive Life Insurance Plan. The amounts shown do not include any life insurance proceeds that NEOs may be entitled to receive under the Company's standard life insurance plan that is generally made available to Company employees.

<sup>(12)</sup> Amounts shown for Mr. Barry reflect amounts actually received or to be paid in connection with the involuntary termination of his employment without cause from Solventum on December 31, 2025. All severance benefits shown are subject to Mr. Barry's continued compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in any agreement with Solventum, including confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation obligations (each lasting two years following his separation date, except that trade secret confidentiality obligations apply indefinitely). Solventum retains the right to cease or recover any such benefits upon a breach.

CEO pay ratio

Presented below is the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") to the annual total compensation of our median employee, calculated pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual total compensation of the CEO for 2025** | $20139981 |
| **Annual total compensation of the median employee for 2025** | $82152 |
| **CEO Pay Ratio for 2025** | 245:1 |

---

The ratio presented above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported below, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

In 2025, we identified our median employees using our global employee population as of October 1, 2025 (excluding our CEO on that date). We used target total cash compensation as our consistently applied compensation measure. Target total cash compensation included base salary (for salaried employees), base hourly compensation (for hourly employees), target sales commissions (as applicable), and target annual cash incentive compensation (annual bonus) for the year ended December 31, 2025. We did not apply any cost-of-living adjustments as part of the calculation. We excluded employees who were on unpaid leave for more than one year as of the determination date. International employees' pay was converted to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates on the determination date. We identified the employees whose target total cash compensation was within a one percent (1%) range (plus or minus one-half of one percent (0.5%)) of the median value of the target total cash compensation for the applicable employee population (the "Median Group"). We then identified the median employee from the Median Group as an employee whose annual total compensation included elements that we believed reasonably reflected our compensation practices for a representative employee to serve as median employee for purposes of the pay ratio.

Pay versus performance table

Provided below is the Company's "pay versus performance" disclosure as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. We have included:

**•** A table that compares the total compensation of our NEOs as presented in the Summary Compensation Table ("SCT") to "compensation actually paid" as defined by the SEC ("CAP") and that compares CAP to specified performance measures;

**•** A tabular list of the most important financial performance measures used by our Talent Committee in setting performance-based compensation in 2025; and

**•** Graphs that describe:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** the relationship between our total shareholder return ("TSR") and the TSR of the S&P 500 Health Care (Sector) ("Peer Group TSR"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** the relationships between CAP and our cumulative TSR, GAAP Net Income, and our company selected measure, Constant Currency Revenue.

CAP, like total compensation disclosed in the SCT, does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the NEOs or how our Talent Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. In particular, our Committee has not used CAP as a basis for making compensation decisions, nor does it use GAAP Net Income or Peer Group TSR for purposes of determining incentive compensation. In addition, a significant portion of the CAP amounts shown relate to changes in values of unvested awards over the course of the reporting year. These unvested awards remain subject to significant risk from forfeiture conditions and possible future declines in value based on changes in our stock price. As described in detail in the CD&A, our PSUs are subject to multi-year performance conditions tied to performance metrics and our equity awards are subject to time vesting conditions. The ultimate values actually realized by our NEOs from unvested equity awards, if any, will not be determined until the awards fully vest and are settled (or exercised). Please refer to the CD&A for a discussion of our executive compensation program objectives and the ways in which we align executive compensation pay with performance.

For purposes of the above adjustments, the fair value of equity awards are computed based on generally accepted accounting principles in a manner consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments included in Note 16 to the Company's audited financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026.

<sup>(4)</sup> Company total shareholder return ("TSR") represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the Company's common stock, for the period beginning on April 1, 2024, the date the Company's common stock commenced regular-way trading on the NYSE, through the end of the applicable fiscal year.

<sup>(5)</sup> Peer Group total shareholder return represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the S&P 500 Health Care (Sector) Index for the period beginning on April 1, 2024, through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming reinvestment of dividends.

<sup>(6)</sup> The dollar amounts reported represent the net income reflected in the Company's audited financial statements for the applicable year.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm, including the review and approval of service fees. The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending 2026. Although ratification is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise, we are asking shareholders to ratify this appointment as a matter of good corporate governance.

The members of the Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of PwC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm is in our best interest and in the best interest of our shareholders.

If shareholders do not ratify the selection of PwC, the Audit Committee will consider any information submitted by shareholders in connection with the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for the next year. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes such a change would be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders.

We expect that representatives of PwC will be present at the annual meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

**Voting standard**<br>The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required to ratify the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm.<br>

Review and engagement <br> 

PwC has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2022. In accordance with SEC rules, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit the number of consecutive years an individual partner may provide audit services to us. For lead and concurring review audit partners, the maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. The Audit Committee reviews and periodically evaluates the performance of the lead audit partner of PwC and assures that PwC has a process for the regular rotation of the lead audit partner and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law.

In determining whether to reappoint PwC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee annually considers several factors, including:

**•** PwC's independence and objectivity;

**•** PwC's capabilities considering the complexity of our global operations, including the skills and experience of the lead audit partner;

**•** PwC's historical and recent performance, including the extent and quality of PwC's communications with the Audit Committee and management's views of PwC's overall performance;

**•** data related to audit quality and performance, including recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") inspection reports on PwC;

**•** PwC's knowledge of and familiarity with our business and industry and our accounting policies and practices; and

**•** the appropriateness of PwC's fees, taking into account the size and level of complexity of our organization and the resources necessary to perform the audit.

The following table shows the fees that we paid or accrued for audit and other services provided by PwC for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025. All of the services described in the following fee table were approved in conformity with the Audit Committee's pre-approval process described below.

<sup>(1)</sup> This category includes the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements, the review of interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those years.

<sup>(2)</sup> This category consists of assurance and related services provided by PwC that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under "Audit Fees." Fees for audit-related services primarily related to agreed upon procedures and other attestation services.

<sup>(3)</sup> This category consists of tax services provided by PwC for tax compliance as well as tax advice including tax planning and transfer pricing services.

Audit committee pre-approval of services of independent registered public accounting firm <br> 

The Audit Committee pre-approves all auditing services, internal control-related services and permitted non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee will consider and, if appropriate, pre-approve the provision of audit and permitted non-audit services. We maintain procedures requiring that, prior to engagement, all services performed by PwC must be pre-approved to ensure that no prohibitive services are inadvertently engaged in and the independence of PwC is maintained. The Audit Committee Chair has the delegated authority to pre-approve such services, provided that any approval by the Audit Committee Chair must be presented to the Audit Committee at its next meeting.

All audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by PwC in 2024 and 2025 were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its pre-approval policy.

Audit committee report <br> 

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and PwC the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee has discussed with PwC the matters that are required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. PwC has provided the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding PwC's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with PwC its independence. The Audit Committee has concluded that PwC's provision of audit and non-audit services to Solventum and its affiliates is compatible with PwC's independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, and subject to the limitations on the Audit Committee's role and responsibilities as described in this Proxy Statement and in the Audit Committee's charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the SEC.

Security ownership of certain beneficial owners <br> 

The following tables set forth, as of March 19, 2026, the number of shares and percentage of Solventum common stock beneficially owned by:

**•** each person or group known by Solventum to beneficially own more than 5% of Solventum common stock;

**•** each of Solventum's directors; and

**•** all directors and executive officers of Solventum as a group.

The percentage of beneficial ownership in the following tables is based on 173,405,254 shares of Solventum common stock outstanding. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. A security holder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date through (1) the exercise of any option or warrant, (2) the conversion of a security, (3) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (4) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. Shares issuable pursuant to such options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding those options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges but are not deemed to be outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the following table, to Solventum's knowledge all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of Solventum common stock beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise indicated in the following table, the address for each shareholder listed below is c/o Solventum Corp., 1750 Yankee Doodle Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55121.

Questions & answers about the annual meeting <br> 

**1. Why am I receiving these materials?** 

We have made this proxy statement available to you on the Internet or, upon your request, have delivered a printed version of this proxy statement to you by mail, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board for use at our 2026 Annual Meeting of shareholders to be held on Friday, May 15, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EDT, and at any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof. You are receiving this proxy statement because you owned shares of Solventum common stock at the close of business on March 19, 2026, and that entitles you to vote at the meeting. By use of a proxy, you can vote whether or not you virtually attend the meeting. This proxy statement describes the matters on which we would like you to vote and provides information on those matters so that you can make an informed decision.

**2. What am I voting on?** 

There are three proposals scheduled to be voted on at the annual meeting:

**•** Election of Class II directors (Proposal 1);

**•** Say on Pay proposal (Proposal 2); and

**•** Ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal 3).

**3. How does the Board recommend that I vote?** 

The Board recommends that you vote your shares:

**•** "**FOR**" the election of each of the Class II director nominees to the Board (Proposal 1);

**•** "**FOR**" the Say on Pay proposal (Proposal 2); and

**•** "**FOR**" the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal 3).

**4. How many votes do I have?** 

You will have one vote for every share of Solventum common stock that you owned at the close of business on March 19, 2026.

**5. How many shares are entitled to vote?** 

There were 173,405,254 shares of Solventum common stock outstanding as of March 19, 2026 and entitled to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote.

**6. What is the quorum requirement for the annual meeting?** 

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally for the election of directors must be present or represented by proxy at the meeting for the transaction of business. This is called a quorum. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum, whether representing votes for, withhold, against or abstained, if you attend virtually and vote during the meeting or have voted before the meeting via the Internet, by telephone or by properly submitting a proxy card or vote instruction form by mail. If a quorum is not present, the meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

**7. What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?** 

The voting requirement for each of the proposals is as follows:

**•** *Election of Class II directors.* Nominees for Class II director must receive a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy on the election of directors in order to be elected as a director. This means that the number of shares voted "for" a director's election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast (with shares voted "for" and "withhold" counting as votes cast) with respect to that director's election.

**Questions & answers about the annual meeting**

**•** *Say on Pay.* The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve the non-binding proposal concerning the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement.

**•** *Ratification of the appointment of PwC.* The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is required to ratify the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm.

**8. What if I vote "abstain"?** 

A vote to "abstain" on the election of directors (Proposal 1) will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. A vote to "abstain" on Proposals 2 and 3 will have the effect of a vote against those proposals.

**9. Why did I receive a notice in the mail instead of a full set of proxy materials?** 

As allowed by SEC rules, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials via the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") to our shareholders. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. The Notice provides instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. We encourage you to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings.

**10. How do I hold my shares?** 

You may hold shares in one or more of the following ways:

**•** *Shareholder of Record*. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, then you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was sent directly to you. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a proxy card.

**•** *Beneficial Owner*. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker dealer, or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name," and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct the record holder on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are contained in a "vote instruction form." If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a vote instruction form.

**•** *Participants in the Solventum Voluntary Investment Plan (the "401(k) Plan").* If you are a participant in the 401(k) Plan, you are considered the beneficial owner of your proportional interest in the shares held by the 401(k) Plan, and the Notice was sent directly to you. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a proxy card.

**11. If I am a shareholder of record, how do I vote?** 

There are four ways to vote:

**•** *Via the Internet during the meeting.* You may vote during the annual meeting by accessing **www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SOLV2026** and entering the 16-digit control number on the proxy card or Notice and following the directions on the virtual meeting website.

**•** *Via the Internet before the meeting.* You may vote by proxy via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice or the proxy card.

**•** *By Telephone.* If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by calling the toll free number found on the proxy card.

**•** *By Mail.* If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and returning it in the envelope provided.

**Questions & answers about the annual meeting**

**12. If I am a beneficial owner, how do I vote?**

To allow sufficient time for the trustee of the 401(k) Plan to vote, your voting instructions must be received by 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 12, 2026. If the trustee does not receive your instructions by that date, the trustee will vote the shares you hold through the 401(k) Plan in the same proportion as those shares in the 401(k) Plan for which voting instructions were received.

**14. Is my vote confidential?** 

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed, except:

**•** as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;

**•** to allow for the tabulation and certification of votes; and

**•** to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to management and the Board.

**15. Can I change my vote?** 

Yes. If you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner, you may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted by:

**•** revoking it by written notice to our Corporate Secretary at Solventum Corporation, 1750 Yankee Doodle Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55121;

**•** delivering a later-dated proxy (including a telephone or Internet vote); or

**•** voting during the meeting.

**Questions & answers about the annual meeting**

**16. How are proxies voted?** 

All shares represented by valid proxies received prior to the annual meeting will be voted and, where a shareholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the shareholder's instructions.

**17. What happens if a nominee for director declines the nomination or is unable to serve?** 

If that happens, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee designated by the Board to fill the vacancy, or, if no substitute has been nominated, for the remaining nominees, leaving a vacancy, or the Board may reduce its size. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable or decline to serve if elected.

**18. What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?** 

It depends on how your shares are held:

**•** *Shareholders of Record.* In the following situations, the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on proposals presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their judgment and discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the annual meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** if, when voting online at **www.ProxyVote.com** or via **mobile.proxyvote.com**, you select the "Submit" button without voting on each item individually;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** if, when voting via the telephone, you elect not to vote on matters individually; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**•** if you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions.

**•** *Beneficial Owners.* If you do not provide the record holder of your shares with specific voting instructions, your record holder may vote on the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal 3). However, your record holder cannot vote your shares without specific instructions on the other matters - the election of directors (Proposal 1) and the Say on Pay proposal (Proposal 2). If your record holder does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on Proposals 1 or 2, your record holder will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on those proposals with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a "broker non-vote." Broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether enough votes are present to hold the annual meeting, but they will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote for any of the proposals.

**•** *Participants in the 401(k) Plan.* If you do not submit voting instructions for your shares held in the 401(k) Plan by 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 12, 2026, or if you do not provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted by the trustee of the 401(k) Plan in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions are received from other participants in the 401(k) Plan.

**19. Who will serve as the inspector of election?** 

A representative from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will serve as the independent inspector of election.

**20. How can I find out the results of the annual meeting?** 

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in our Current Report on Form 8-K, which we are required to file with the SEC within four business days following the annual meeting.

**21. Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?** 

We are paying the costs of the solicitation of proxies. We have retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist in soliciting proxies for a fee of $30,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. We must also pay brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares held in street name certain fees associated with:

**•** forwarding the Notice to beneficial owners;

**•** forwarding printed proxy materials by mail to beneficial owners who specifically request them; and

**•** obtaining beneficial owners' voting instructions.

In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, certain of our directors, officers and employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, facsimile or email on our behalf.

**26. What do I need to know to submit proposals and what are the deadlines to propose actions for consideration or to nominate individuals to serve as directors at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders?**

It depends on whether the information is to be included in our proxy materials:

Forward looking statements <br> 

This proxy statement and other materials Solventum has filed or will file with the SEC (and oral communications that Solventum may make) contain or incorporates by reference statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as "anticipates," "believes," "could," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "goal," "guidance," "intends," "may," "outlook," "plans," "projects," "seeks," "sees," "should," "targets," "will," "would," or other words of similar meaning.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Although Solventum believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements it makes are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

• Solventum's historical financial information for periods prior to the Spin-Off is not necessarily representative of the results or performance that it would have achieved as a separate, publicly traded company.

**•** Solventum may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the Spin-Off.

**•** Solventum's accounting and other management systems and resources may not be adequately prepared to meet the financial reporting and other requirements to which it is subject to as a standalone publicly traded company.

**•** Solventum may not be able to engage in desirable capital-raising or strategic transactions following the Spin-Off.

**•** If the Spin-Off, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Solventum and its shareholders could be subject to significant tax liabilities.

**•** The transfer to Solventum of certain contracts, permits and other assets and rights may have required the consents or approvals of, or provide other rights to, third parties and governmental authorities.

**•** Following the Spin-Off, Solventum's commercial relationships with 3M remain significant, which could adversely affect Solventum's business, its ability to meet other obligations and the market price of its common stock.

**•** Solventum's results may be impacted by the effects of, and changes in, worldwide economic, political, regulatory, international trade and geopolitical conditions, war and other events beyond its control.

**•** The deployment of artificial intelligence or other emerging technologies in Solventum's products and services, or a failure to adapt its products and services, could affect future results.

**•** Public health crises may increase Solventum's cost of doing business and disrupt Solventum's operations.

**•** Our brands are critical to our success, and damage to our reputation or our brands could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

**•** Acquisitions, strategic alliances, divestitures and other strategic events resulting from portfolio management actions and other evolving business strategies, and possible further organizational restructuring, could affect future results.

**•** Solventum may not be able to effectively integrate acquired businesses into its operations or achieve expected cost savings or profitability from its acquisitions.

**•** Solventum's restructuring program may not be successful.

**•** Solventum may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to Solventum, or at all.

**•** Change in Solventum's credit ratings could increase cost of funding.

**•** Changes in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates could adversely affect Solventum.
