MiniMed Team, 
Today, Medtronic launched an exchange offer to split off its remaining equity interest in MiniMed. Together with any related transactions, this is the final major step in our separation and our transition to operating as a fully independent company.
Through this offer, Medtronic shareholders, including MiniMed employees who hold Medtronic ordinary shares, can choose to exchange all, some, or none of their Medtronic ordinary shares for shares of MiniMed common stock.* Once this exchange offer is completed (including related transactions), Medtronic will no longer hold an equity stake in MiniMed. Following the exchange offer, we will operate as an independent company. Please refer to a separate communication, which will be shared later today, for more details about how you can participate if you hold Medtronic ordinary shares.
Since Medtronic announced its intent to separate our business just 18 months ago and our IPO earlier this year, we have delivered solid results. We crossed $3 billion in annual revenue. We launched MiniMed Flex and MiniMed Go, giving patients genuine choice in automated insulin delivery. We added thousands of new patients to the MiniMed community while maintaining rigorous delivery discipline.
For day-to-day operations, our work does not change. We continue to execute under our transition service agreements with Medtronic as we prepare for Day 2 — when we will also officially welcome the nearly 900 employees in Day 2 countries who have been part of this journey every step of the way as official MiniMed employees. We have spent the last 18 months building the standalone capabilities across systems, operations, and governance that make this moment feel like a natural step forward rather than a sudden shift. Reaching this milestone while keeping customer support and product supply uninterrupted reflects solid execution across the team.
Completing this separation establishes MiniMed as an independent public company dedicated entirely to people living with diabetes and the technology that supports them. We are so close to something truly special, and it is built on decades of pioneering innovation and the unwavering commitment of this team. Thank you for your continued focus, discipline, and being part of this journey.
