J&J starts share exchange offer for consumer health spin-off Kenvue
J&J, which currently owns an 89.6% stake in Kenvue, said it intends to split off at least 80.1% of the consumer health company's shares as part of the offering. The offering will help J&J move a step closer in its plan to spin off the unit and focus on its larger medical devices and pharmaceuticals businesses. The exchange will allow J&J shareholders to exchange their shares for those of Kenvue at a 7% discount, subject to conditions.
