 Exhibit 10.1 

SUPPORT AGREEMENT 
 This
Support Agreement, dated September 29, 2015 (this “Agreement”), is by and among the Persons (as defined herein) listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, “Third Point,” and each individually, a
“member” of Third Point) and Baxter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 

WHEREAS, Third Point and its Affiliates (as defined herein) collectively beneficially own, an aggregate of 53,850,000 shares of common stock
of the Company, par value $1.00 (the “Common Stock”), and hold an economic equivalent of 4,500,000 additional shares via a short position in cash-settled put options; 

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and Third Point has determined that
it is in its best interests to come to an agreement with respect to certain matters in respect of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Board
Representation and Board Matters. 
 (a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has (i) increased the size
of the Board by one (1) director to eleven (11) directors such that there would be one vacancy in the class of directors slated to stand for election at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2017 Annual
Meeting”) (the “2017 Class”) and (ii) appointed Munib Islam to fill the newly created vacancy in the 2017 Class and serve as a 2017 Class director of the Company (and including any Replacement, the “2017 Class
New Director”). The Company and Third Point agree to use reasonable best efforts to, within thirty (30) days from the date hereof, agree upon the appointment of an additional director, who shall be an independent director with
significant industry experience and with other characteristics consistent with those heretofore discussed between Third Point and the Company, and immediately thereafter, the Company shall (i) increase the size of the Board by one
(1) additional director to twelve (12) directors such that there would be one vacancy in the class of directors slated to stand for election at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2016 Annual
Meeting”) (the “2016 Class”) and (ii) appoint such agreed upon independent director to fill the newly created vacancy in the 2016 Class and serve as a 2016 Class director of the Company (and including any Replacement,
as defined herein, the “2016 Class New Director” and together with the 2017 Class New Director, the “New Directors,” and each a “New Director”). Prior to the appointment of the 2016 Class New
Director, the 2016 Class New Director will have delivered and the Company will have accepted (x) a completed standard director and officer questionnaire of the Company (the “D&O Questionnaire”), (y) an executed letter
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the “2016 Nominee Letter”) and (z) the executed irrevocable resignation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “2016 Class Resignation,” and
together with the D&O Questionnaire and the 2016 Nominee Letter, the “2016  

 
Nomination Documents”). To the extent the Company’s obligations under this Section 1 have not terminated pursuant to Section 1(h), the Company hereby
agrees not to increase the size of the Board to be larger than thirteen (13) persons. 
 (b) The Company’s slate of nominees for
election as directors of the Company at the 2016 Annual Meeting shall include the 2016 Class New Director. 
 (c) The Company will use
reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the 2016 Class New Director to the Board at the 2016 Annual Meeting (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the election of the 2016 Class New Director (along
with all of the Company’s nominees) and otherwise supporting the 2016 Class New Director for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate). 

(d) For so long as the 2017 Class New Director serves on the Board, but subject to (x) compliance with New York Stock Exchange listing
requirements regarding independence of directors and committee members, including applicable enhanced requirements with respect to certain committees, including (i) the Audit Committee (taking into account, so long as applicable, the safe
harbor provided pursuant to Rule 10A-3(e)(1)(ii)(A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) and (ii) the Compensation Committee, and (y) compliance with changes in applicable law after
the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Independence Requirements”), the 2017 Class New Director shall be, and concurrently with the execution of this Agreement has been, appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board;
provided that such 2017 Class New Director, in his sole discretion, may decline to serve on such committee at any time. The Board, based on information provided by the 2017 Class New Director has determined that, as of the date hereof, the 2017
Class New Director satisfies the Independence Requirements. In addition, for so long as the 2017 Class New Director serves on the Board (or, if earlier, the hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer of the Company), the 2017 Class New Director will be
included as a member of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer Search Working Group. Following his or her appointment to the Board, for so long as the 2016 Class New Director serves on the Board, but subject to the Independence Requirements, the
2016 Class New Director shall be offered the opportunity to become a member of the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board; provided that such 2016 Class New Director, in his or her sole discretion, may decline to
serve on either such committee. 
 (e) At all times prior to completion of the 2017 Annual Meeting but provided that at least one New
Director remains a member of the Board, the 2017 Class New Director or, if he declines (or is no longer a member of the Board), the 2016 Class New Director (following his or her appointment to the Board), shall be offered the opportunity to be a
member of each committee of the Board which may be created by the Board following execution of this Agreement, and upon election to become such a member the Board shall effect such change in committee composition promptly, subject to satisfaction of
the Independence Requirements, as applicable, and assuming the absence of conflicts of interest involving such New Director relevant to such committee’s activities. 

 (f) Should any New Director resign from the Board or be rendered unable to, or refuse to, be
appointed to, or for any other reason fail to serve or is not serving on, the Board (other than (i) as a result of not being nominated by the Company at an annual meeting at which such New Director would be required to stand for re-election
pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to remain on the Board (such meeting, the “Re-election Meeting”), except if the Company was required to so nominate such New Director pursuant to this Agreement, or
(ii) as a result of the application of Section 1(h) below), Third Point shall be entitled to designate a replacement board member for such New Director that is reasonably satisfactory to the Board, consistent with the standards and
processes followed in connection with the initial appointment of the New Directors, including with respect to Independence Requirements (a “Replacement”), and the Company shall take all necessary action to implement the foregoing as
promptly as practicable, and in no event later than twenty (20) days after designation of the replacement by Third Point. Any such Replacement who becomes a Board member in replacement of a New Director shall be deemed to be a New Director for
all purposes under this Agreement (of the same class, if applicable) and, prior to his or her appointment to the Board, shall be required to (1) provide to the Company (x) in the case of a Replacement for the 2016 Class New Director, the
2016 Nomination Documents, (y) in the case of a Replacement for the 2017 Class New Director, (I) a completed D&O Questionnaire, (II) an executed letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 and (III) the executed
irrevocable resignation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “2017 Class Resignation”) and (z) to the extent requested by the Company, a duly executed copy of a confidentiality agreement with the Company
substantially equivalent in form and substance to the Confidentiality Agreement previously executed by the parties hereto (the “Existing Confidentiality Agreement”), or a joinder to the Existing Confidentiality Agreement, and
(2) otherwise satisfy the evaluation procedures of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board in accordance with the practices of the Corporate Governance Committee and the Board. The 2016 Class Resignation and the 2017 Class Resignation
are collectively referred to herein as the “Resignations.” 
 (g) For any annual meeting at which the 2017 Class New
Director is nominated by the Company and agrees to serve, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of such 2017 Class New Director so nominated by the Company (including recommending that the Company’s stockholders
vote in favor of the election of such 2017 Class New Director and otherwise supporting the 2017 Class New Director for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the
aggregate). 
 (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 1(a) through 1(g), if at any time after the date of this Agreement
(A) Third Point, together with the Third Point Affiliates (as defined below), ceases collectively to beneficially own or have other ownership interest in aggregate Net Long Positions of at least 27,000,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted
for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and similar pro rata adjustments), or (B) Third Point materially breaches any obligation under this Agreement or the Existing Confidentiality Agreement and fails to cure such
breach (to the extent it is curable) within ten (10) business days after receipt by Third Point of written notice from the Company specifying any such breach then, in the case of (A) or (B), (x) the 2017 Class Resignation of the 2017
Class New Director shall become immediately effective, and (y) the Company shall have no further obligations under this Section 1 or Section 2(b). In furtherance of this Section 1(h), the 2017 Class New
Director shall 

 
have, prior to the date of this Agreement, executed and delivered the 2017 Class Resignation to the Company. Third Point shall keep the Company regularly apprised of its (and the Third Point
Affiliates’) ownership position in respect of the Common Stock (including Net Long Positions) to the extent such positions differ from the ownership positions publicly reported on Third Point’s Schedule 13D (including amendments thereto).
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act; provided that
“Affiliate” shall not include any entity whose equity securities are registered under the Exchange Act (or are publicly traded in a foreign jurisdiction), solely by reason of the fact that a principal of Third Point serves as a member of
its board of directors or similar governing body, unless Third Point otherwise controls such entity (as the term “control” is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act), and the term “Persons” or
“Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability or unlimited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization or other entity of
any kind or nature. 
 (i) At all times while serving as a member of the Board, it is acknowledged and agreed that the New Directors shall
be required to comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to Board members, including the Company’s code of conduct, securities trading policies, anti-hedging policies, Regulation
FD-related policies, director confidentiality policies and corporate governance guidelines, copies of which, in each case, have been provided to Third Point and will be provided to the 2016 Class New Director, and preserve the confidentiality of the
Company’s business and information, including discussions or matters considered in meetings of the Board or Board committees (all subject to Section 6 of this Agreement permitting certain disclosures); provided that, without
limitation of and subject to compliance with Third Point’s obligations (or the obligations of the Specified Third Point Personnel, as defined therein) under the Existing Confidentiality Agreement, (i) Third Point and its Affiliates
(excluding the 2017 Class New Director in his capacity as such) shall not be deemed a covered person under any trading policy of the Company and (ii) any amendments to or replacements of such policies shall similarly not apply to, or shall
otherwise exempt, Third Point and its Affiliates. Each New Director’s obligations under this Agreement are in addition to the fiduciary and common law duties of any director of a Delaware corporation. 

2. Certain Other Matters. 

(a) Each New Director shall be entitled to resign from the Board at any time in his or her discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“Standstill Period” shall mean the period from the date of this Agreement until the later of (i) 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the 45th day prior to the advance notice deadline for making director nominations at the 2017 Annual
Meeting and (ii) twenty (20) days after such time as the 2017 Class New Director (or his Replacement, if applicable) is no longer a member of the Board. If either New Director (or his or her Replacement, if applicable) agrees to be
included as a director nominee for election at any Stockholders Meeting other than as a director nominated by the Board for election at such Stockholders Meeting, the applicable Resignation previously provided by such New Director shall become
effective. 

 (b) The Company agrees that for so long as any New Director (or any Replacement) is on the Board,
the Company shall promptly notify Third Point, in writing, as to the Board’s decision whether or not to nominate a New Director (or any Replacement) for election at a Re-election Meeting (which written notice from the Company, if any, shall in
any event be delivered to Third Point not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the advance notice deadline for making director nominations at the Re-election Meeting) and the Board shall take all appropriate action to cause such Re-election
Meeting not to be held prior to ninety (90) days following the time Third Point is notified that a New Director has not been so nominated. 

(c) During the Standstill Period, no member of Third Point shall, directly or indirectly, and each member of Third Point shall cause each
Third Point Affiliate not to, directly or indirectly (it being understood and agreed that the following restrictions shall not apply to the actions of a New Director in respect of such New Director’s participation in Board and Board committee
meetings (including votes on and discussions regarding matters at such meetings) in such New Director’s capacity as a director of the Company): 

(i) (A) solicit proxies or written consents of stockholders or conduct any other type of referendum (binding or nonbinding) with respect to,
or from the holders of, the Voting Securities (as defined below), or become a “participant” (as such term is defined in Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) in or assist any Person not a party to
this Agreement (a “Third Party”) in any “solicitation” of any proxy, consent or other authority (as such terms are defined under the Exchange Act) to vote any shares of the Voting Securities (other than such encouragement,
advice or influence that is consistent with Company management’s recommendation in connection with such matter), or (B) control or exert influence over or seek to control or exert influence over the voting of any Voting Securities as to
which a Third Party that is counterparty to any Net Long Position of Third Point possesses power to vote or direct the voting (other than such control or influence that is consistent with Company management’s recommendation in connection with
such matter); 
 (ii) encourage, advise or influence any other Person or assist any Third Party in so encouraging, assisting or influencing
any Person with respect to the giving or withholding of any proxy, consent or other authority to vote or in conducting any type of referendum (other than such encouragement, advice or influence that is consistent with Company management’s
recommendation in connection with such matter); 
 (iii) form or join in a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group,
including a “group” as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, with respect to the Voting Securities (including any Net Long Position) (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any group composed solely of Third Point and the
Third Point Affiliates) or otherwise support or participate in any effort by a Third Party with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (i), (vii) or (viii) of this Section 2(c); 

(iv) present at any annual meeting or any special meeting of the Company’s stockholders any proposal for consideration for action by
stockholders or seek the removal of any member of the Board or (except as expressly permitted in this Agreement with respect to a Replacement) propose any nominee for election to the Board or seek representation on the Board; 

 (v) other than in (i) market transactions where the identity of the purchaser is not
known,(ii) underwritten public offerings and (iii) bought deals, sell, offer or agree to sell directly or indirectly, through swap, hedging or derivative transactions or otherwise, any securities of the Company, or any rights decoupled from the
underlying Voting Securities held by Third Point to any Third Party unless (A) such Third Party is a passive investor that has not filed a Schedule 13D and would not as a result of the purchase of the securities of the Company be required to
file a Schedule 13D, and (B) such sale, offer, or agreement to sell would not knowingly result in such Third Party, together with its Affiliates, owning, controlling or otherwise having any beneficial or other ownership interest in the
aggregate that is the equivalent of five percent (5%) or more of the Voting Securities outstanding at such time or would increase the beneficial or other ownership interest of any Third Party who, together with its Affiliates, has a beneficial
or other ownership interest in the aggregate that is the equivalent of five percent (5%) or more of the Voting Securities outstanding at such time, except in each case in a transaction approved in advance by the Board; 

(vi) grant any proxy, consent or other authority to vote with respect to any matters (other than to the named proxies included in the
Company’s proxy card for a Stockholders Meeting) or deposit any Voting Securities of the Company in a voting trust or subject them to a voting agreement or other arrangement of similar effect with respect to any Stockholders Meeting except as
provided in Section 2(d) below (excluding customary brokerage accounts, margin accounts, prime brokerage accounts and the like); 

(vii) make any request for stockholders list materials or other books and records of the Company under Section 220 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or otherwise; 
 (viii) institute, solicit or join, as a party, any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) or any of their respective current or former directors or officers (including derivative actions), other than litigation by Third Point to enforce the provisions of this Agreement;

 (ix) without the prior written approval of the Board, separately or in conjunction with any other Person in which it is or proposes to be
either a principal, partner or financing source or is acting or proposes to act as broker or agent for compensation, propose (publicly, privately or to the Company) or effect any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer,
sale or purchase of assets, sale or purchase of securities, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, restructuring, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, significant share repurchase or similar transaction of or involving the Company or any of
its Affiliates or a material amount of the assets or businesses of the Company or actively encourage, initiate or support any other Third Party in any such activity; 

(x) purchase or cause to be purchased or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any Voting Securities (including adding
to any Net Long Position and, for purposes of this calculation, including any Synthetic Positions) such that Third Point and the Third Point Affiliates would collectively beneficially own (including for purposes of this calculation, any net long
Synthetic Positions as beneficial ownership of the associated Voting Securities) more than thirteen percent (13%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Voting Securities at such time; 

 (xi) except as set forth herein, take any action in support of or make any proposal or request
that constitutes (A) controlling, changing or influencing the Board or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board, (B) any material change in
the capitalization, stock repurchase programs and practices, capital allocation programs and practices or dividend policy of the Company, (C) any other material change in the Company’s management, business or corporate structure or
(D) seeking to have the Company waive or make amendments or modifications to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws; 

(xii) enter into any negotiations, agreements, arrangements or understandings with any Third Party with respect to the matters set forth in
this Section 2; or 
 (xiii) request, directly or indirectly, any amendment or waiver of the foregoing in a manner that would be
reasonably likely to require public disclosure by Third Point (or any of its Affiliates) or the Company. 
 As used in this Agreement, the
term “Voting Securities” shall mean the Common Stock, and any other securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock or other
securities, whether or not subject to the passage of time or other contingencies. 
 As used in this Agreement, the term “Beneficial
Ownership” of Voting Securities means ownership of (i) Voting Securities and (ii) rights or options to own or acquire any Voting Securities (whether such right or option is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time
or upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions (whether or not within the control of such Person), compliance with regulatory requirements or otherwise). For purposes of this Section 2, no Person shall be, or be deemed to be, the
“Beneficial Owner” of, or to “beneficially own,” any securities beneficially owned by any director of the Company to the extent such securities were acquired directly from the Company by such director as or pursuant
to director compensation for serving as a director of the Company. 
 (d) Until the end of the Standstill Period, Third Point together with
all controlled Affiliates of the members of Third Point (such controlled Affiliates, collectively and individually, the “Third Point Affiliates”) shall cause all Voting Securities owned by them directly or indirectly, whether owned
of record or beneficially owned, as of the record date for any annual or special meeting of stockholders (each, a “Stockholders Meeting”) within the Standstill Period, in each case that are entitled to vote at any such Stockholders
Meeting, to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted, at all such Stockholders Meetings or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, (i) for all directors nominated by the Board for election at such Stockholders Meeting and
(ii) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on any other proposals or other business that comes before any Stockholders Meeting. 

3. Election of Directors. 

(a) The Company agrees to initiate a proceeding in a court in the State of Delaware with jurisdiction over the matter (the
“Court”) seeking a determination that an affirmative vote of 

 
at least two-thirds of the Company’s shares of Common Stock would be sufficient under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) to
effect an amendment of Article Sixth of the Charter (the “Declassification Ruling”), with such vote to occur at the 2016 Annual Meeting. The Company agrees that Third Point and outside legal counsel of Third Point’s choosing
shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, and the Company shall be reasonably responsive to Third Point’s suggestions regarding, any material documentation prior to its filing with the Court and Third Point and its counsel
will have the opportunity to participate in a reasonable number of teleconferences with the Company and its counsel in connection with any such filings with the Court. If the Court provides the requested Declassification Ruling to the Company, the
Company agrees to propose an amendment to the Charter substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto at the 2016 Annual Meeting and to recommend stockholders vote in favor of such amendment. 

(b) If the Court does not provide the Declassification Ruling by thirty (30) days prior to the record date for the 2016 Annual Meeting,
the Company shall, upon timely written request by Third Point, submit an amendment to the Charter substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto to eliminate the classified Board to be voted on at the 2016 Annual Meeting and the
Company will recommend stockholders vote in favor of such amendment. In connection with such vote, notwithstanding any restrictions contained in this Agreement, Third Point shall be permitted to pursue and take any reasonable actions related to
securing the necessary votes for the approval of such amendment by stockholders. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, creating holders of Common Stock to vote to adopt the amendment. The Company will support Third Point’s actions
and provide reasonable cooperation (including taking any actions reasonably requested and necessary with respect to the Company’s transfer agent) with respect to Third Point’s actions. If Third Point pursues such actions to declassify the
Board under this Section 3(b), the Company shall reimburse Third Point for all documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred and paid by Third Point in connection with its efforts to cause such amendment to be
adopted. 
 4. Non-Disparagement. During the Standstill Period, Third Point and the Company agree to not make, or cause to be made,
any statement or announcement that relates to and constitutes an ad hominem attack on, or relates to and otherwise disparages, the other party or any of its subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary”) or their respective business,
operations or financial performance, officers or directors or any person who has served as an officer or director of either party or any Subsidiary in the past, or who serves on or following the date of this Agreement as an officer, director or
agent of either party or any Subsidiary (a) in any document or report filed with or furnished to the SEC or any other governmental agency, (b) in any press release or other publicly available format or (c) to any analyst, journalist
or member of the media (including without limitation, in a television, radio, internet, newspaper or magazine interview). 
 5. Public
Announcements. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company and Third Point shall announce this Agreement by means of jointly issued press release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Press
Release”). Neither the Company (and the Company shall cause each of its subsidiaries, directors and officers not to) nor Third Point or any Third Point Affiliate shall make or cause to be made any public announcement or statement with
respect to the subject of this Agreement that is contrary to the statements made in the Press Release, except as required by law or the rules of any stock exchange or with the prior written 

 
consent of the other party. The Company acknowledges that Third Point intends to file this Agreement and the Press Release as exhibits to its Schedule 13D pursuant to an amendment. The Company
shall have reasonable advance review and consultation rights upon any Schedule 13D filing (or amendment thereto) made by Third Point with respect to this Agreement. Third Point acknowledges and agrees that the Company intends to (i) file this
Agreement and file or furnish the Press Release with the SEC as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K and to file this Agreement as an exhibit to future filings with the SEC and (ii) file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing appointment
of the 2016 New Director once appointed and may issue a press release (and file or furnish such press release as an exhibit to such 8-K) in connection with such appointment. 

6. Confidentiality Agreement. The Company hereby agrees that the 2017 Class New Director is permitted to and may provide confidential
information to certain specified officers and employees of Third Point subject to and solely in accordance with the terms of the Existing Confidentiality Agreement. 

7. Representations and Warranties of All Parties. Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other party that: (a) such
party has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; (b) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by it and is a valid and binding
obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; and (c) this Agreement will not result in a violation of any terms or conditions of any agreements to which such Person is a party or by which such party may
otherwise be bound or of any law, rule, license, regulation, judgment, order or decree governing or affecting such party. 
 8.

Baxter Appoints Munib Islam to Board; 

Announces Agreement with Third Point 

DEERFIELD, Ill. – [            ], 2015 – Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX)
today announced it has reached an agreement with Third Point LLC to appoint Munib Islam to its Board of Directors immediately and add another, mutually agreed upon independent director in the near-term. Mr. Islam, a Partner at Third Point, will
serve on the Board’s executive search working group and audit committee. The company’s Board will increase to 12 members with the addition of the two new directors. 

“We are pleased to welcome Munib to the Board. He will provide fresh perspectives from the company’s largest shareholder and will be able to draw
upon his significant capital allocation and public market experience,” said Thomas T. Stallkamp, lead independent director of Baxter. “We are committed to fostering long-term growth and believe his addition will augment Baxter’s
commitment to accelerating profitable growth as a leading global medical products provider,” added Stallkamp. 
 Mr. Islam is a Partner at Third
Point, where he leads equity research, and sits on the firm’s Risk Committee. Mr. Islam previously worked at Highbridge Capital, where he was a Managing Director and the Portfolio Manager of the Highbridge European Value Equities fund.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Islam worked at the private equity firm Oak Hill Capital and as an investment banker at Lazard LLC. He received a bachelor’s degree in economics from Dartmouth College and an MBA from Stanford University. 

“Following the spinoff of Baxalta, Baxter has a unique opportunity to increase both its margins and its market share in the growing, innovative medical
products industry,” said Islam. “I’m confident the Board will benefit by including a significant shareholder’s perspective and am committed to working with the Board to unlock substantial additional value at Baxter.” 

In addition to the new Director appointments, Baxter and Third Point have entered into an agreement that includes standstill and voting provisions, and a
commitment to declassify the company’s Board. The agreement also contemplates that Baxter will work to transition to annual election of the company’s directors beginning at the 2016 annual meeting. The complete agreement will be filed by
the company as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 
 “We are pleased to have reached a
collaborative agreement with Baxter’s Board of Directors and management team,” said Daniel S. Loeb, Chief Executive Officer of Third Point. “We are confident that the expansion of the Board will prove beneficial and look forward to
working closely with the company toward the mutual goal of enhancing shareholder value.”

This release includes forward-looking statements concerning Baxter’s future actions and information regarding Third Point’s investment in Baxter.
The statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: continued strength in the company’s financial
position, including cash flows; future decisions of the board of directors of the company (including with respect to the anticipated appointment of an additional director to the board); the ability to achieve the intended results from the recent
separation of the biopharmaceutical and medical products businesses on the terms currently contemplated, if at all; and other risks identified in Baxter’s most recent filing on Form 10-K and other SEC filings, all of which are available on
Baxter’s website. Baxter does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

PROPOSED FORM OF 

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT 

TO THE 
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION 
 OF 

BAXTER INTERNATIONAL INC. 

Baxter International Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
“Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows: 
 (1) That the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), at
a meeting held on [            ], duly adopted resolutions setting forth a proposed amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, declaring said
amendment to be advisable and directing that the amendment be submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for consideration at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. The resolution setting forth the proposed amendment is as follows: 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the amendment and restatement of Article SIXTH of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, in the form set forth below (the “Charter Amendment”), be, and it hereby is, declared advisable and approved and adopted in all respects: 

SIXTH: Until the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, (i) the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes;
(ii) the term of office for one class of directors will expire each year at the annual meeting of stockholders, in each case until the directors’ respective successors are elected and qualified; and (iii) the directors chosen to
succeed those whose terms are expiring shall be identified as being of the same class as the directors whom they succeed and shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or thereafter in each case until
their respective successors are elected and qualified, subject to death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. 
 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders; (ii) at the 2017
annual meeting of stockholders, the directors whose terms expire at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders; and (iii) at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and
each annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, all directors shall be elected for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to such procedures, effective as of the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board
of Directors will no longer be classified under Section 141(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and directors shall no longer be divided into three classes. Prior to the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, (a) any
board seats created as a result of an increase in the number of directors comprising the entire Board of Directors shall be allocated to make the classes of directors as nearly equal as possible, (b) any director elected to fill a term
resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall have the same term as the other members of his class or, if the director is not a member of a class, until the next annual meeting, and (c) a director elected to fill any other vacancy
shall have the same remaining term as that of his predecessor. 

  
 D-1 

 A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term
expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. 

Whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately
by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the certificate of incorporation
applicable thereto, and such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article SIXTH. 
 (2) That
thereafter, pursuant to resolution of its Board, an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation was duly called and held, on [            ], 2016 upon notice in accordance with
Section 222 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, at which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted in favor of the amendment. 

(3) That said amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. 

  
 D-2 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed this
[            ] day of [            ], 2016.
