On March 2, 2023, Medtronic plc, a public company organized under the laws of Ireland (the "<u>Company</u>"), announced that its 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "<u>2023 Annual General Meeting</u>") will be held on Thursday, October 19, 2023. The Company's Board of Directors has fixed the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, August 25, 2023 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote during the 2023 Annual General Meeting and any adjournment thereof.

Because the date of the 2023 Annual General Meeting differs by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the deadline for submission of any shareholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and the deadlines for any shareholder to submit a nominee to serve as director or to submit a proposal to be considered at the meeting or for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials outside of Rule 14a-8, as set forth in the Company's proxy statement, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") on August 19, 2022, no longer apply. Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "<u>Articles of Association</u>") and Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals by means of this Form 8-K.

To be considered for inclusion in this year's proxy materials for the 2023 Annual General Meeting, shareholder proposals, including director nominations, must be submitted in writing before the close of business in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to prepare and finalize materials for the 2023 Annual General Meeting. In addition to complying with this deadline, shareholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2023 Annual General Meeting must also comply with the Articles of Association and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. In addition, any shareholders who wish to present a proposal, including any nomination for directors, before the 2023 Annual General Meeting but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or under the applicable provisions of our Articles of Association, must ensure that notice is submitted in writing no earlier than the opening of business in Dublin, Ireland on Friday, July 21, 2023 and no later than the close of business in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, which notice must contain the information specified in the Articles of Association. Notices regarding shareholder proposals or director nominations must be provided in writing at the Company's registered office located at 20 on Hatch, Lower Hatch Street, Dublin 2, D92 XH02, Ireland, Attn: Company Secretary.
