(2) Per $1,000 principal amount.

(3) The Total Consideration for Notes validly tendered prior to or at the applicable Early Tender Date (as defined below) and accepted for purchase is calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread and is inclusive of the applicable Early Tender Payment (as defined below). The Total Consideration will be determined by taking into account the applicable par call date for each series of Notes, if any.

(4) The offers with respect to the Maximum Tender Offer Notes are subject to the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price of $3.0 billion in aggregate purchase price and the Series Tender Caps. All references to the aggregate purchase price for the Maximum Tender Offer Notes include the applicable Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below) and exclude applicable accrued interest and fees and expenses related to the Tender Offers. The Offerors will purchase an aggregate principal amount of Maximum Tender Offer Notes having an aggregate purchase price up to the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price, subject to the Acceptance Priority Level and the Series Tender Caps as set forth in the table above. The Offerors reserve the right, but are under no obligation, to increase the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price and/or any Series Tender Cap at any time, including on or after July 10, 2019, subject to applicable law, which could result in the Offerors purchasing an aggregate principal amount of Maximum Tender Offer Notes having a greater aggregate purchase price in the Maximum Tender Offers and/or purchasing an aggregate principal amount of such series of Capped Notes (as defined below) above the applicable sublimit set forth herein.

The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated June 24, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase"), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers. The Tender Offers will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 24, 2019 (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2019), or any other date and time to which such Tender Offer is extended (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the "Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated. Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 9, 2019, (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the "Early Tender Date"), to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below), which is inclusive of the applicable cash amount set forth in the above tables under the heading "Early Tender Payment" (the "Early Tender Payment"). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but prior to the applicable Expiration Date will only be eligible to receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration.

All holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

The applicable consideration (the "Total Consideration") offered per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of each series validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable "Fixed Spread" for such Notes specified in the tables above plus the applicable yield to maturity based on the bid-side price of the applicable "U.S. Treasury Reference Security" specified in the tables above as quoted on the applicable page on the Bloomberg Bond Trader at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the Early Tender Date which is expected to be July 10, 2019. The "Tender Offer Consideration" is equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment.

Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be accepted based on the acceptance priority levels noted on the front cover hereof, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 14 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level (the "Acceptance Priority Levels") and will have priority over Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date, regardless of the Acceptance Priority Levels of the Maximum Tender Offer Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date. Maximum Tender Offer Notes of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Maximum Tender Offer Notes of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price to be exceeded, or, in the case of each of the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2045, the 4.375% Senior Notes due 2035 and the 3.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (each a "Capped Note"), if the aggregate principal amount of the Capped Note validly tendered and not validly withdrawn is greater than applicable Series Tender Cap.

The Tender Offers will expire on the applicable Expiration Date. The settlement date for the Notes that are validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date is expected to be July 12, 2019, the third business day following the Early Tender Date, assuming the conditions to the satisfaction of the applicable Tender Offer are satisfied. The settlement date for Notes that are validly tendered following the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date is expected to be July 26, 2019, the second business day following the Expiration Date.

Notes that are validly tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 9, 2019 (unless extended, the "Withdrawal Deadline"). After such time Notes may not be withdrawn unless the applicable Offeror extends the Withdrawal Deadline.

In accordance with the indentures governing the Any and All Notes, and subject to available funding, Medtronic, Inc. may give notice of redemption for the redemption of any remaining 4.125% Senior Notes due 2021 or 3.125% Senior Notes due 2022 that are not validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Any and All Tender Offers. Any such notice of redemption may be given as early as July 10, 2019. The Offerors, the Company or their affiliates may also from time to time, after completion of the applicable Tender Offer, purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender or exchange offers or otherwise, or the applicable Offeror may redeem Notes that are redeemable pursuant to their terms.

The Offerors` obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers is not subject to any minimum tender condition but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the financing condition that the Offerors shall have closed one or more debt financings resulting in net proceeds in an amount not less than the amount required, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the applicable Tender Offer, to purchase all the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers and to pay accrued interest thereon and fees and expenses associated therewith. Following the Tender Offers, the Company does not intend to pursue any additional opportunistic refinancing in the Euro market for the next year. The Offerors reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offers; (ii) extend or terminate the Tender Offers; (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price and Series Tender Caps; or (iv) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect.
