Stockholders that hold shares in “street name” (i.e., through an account at a broker or other nominee), should follow their broker’s or nominee’s instructions to obtain their 16-digit control number or otherwise attend through the broker or nominee. A list of Baxter's stockholders of record will be available for examination by stockholders on the 2024 Annual Meeting website during the meeting.
