BECTON DICKINSON & CO

An evaluation was carried out by BD’s management, with the participation of BD’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of BD’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were, as of the end of the period covered by this report, effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to BD and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within these entities.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 identified in connection with the above-referenced evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, BD’s internal control over financial reporting.
