STRYKER CORP

$1.85 per share Dutch dividend withholding tax was withheld from Wright shareholders exchanging shares for cash in the merger.
Dutch legislative proposal on conditional final dividend withholding tax not enacted by January 1, 2022, so no remittance to Dutch authorities.
Stryker instructed the paying agent to return the $1.85 per share to each former Wright shareholder from whom it was withheld.
Payment expected promptly; no refund for shares purchased in Stryker's tender offer.
