Conroy Kevin T reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

ABBOTT LABORATORIES director Kevin T. Conroy filed an initial Form 3 reporting his equity stake following Abbott’s acquisition of Exact Sciences. He reports direct beneficial ownership of 131,451 common shares without par value. This position primarily reflects restricted stock units that accelerated upon Exact’s change in control at the merger’s effective time.
Under the merger completed on March 23, 2026, each share of Exact common stock was converted into the right to receive $105.00 in cash, without interest, subject to withholding taxes. Certain Exact restricted stock units were assumed by Abbott and converted into Abbott restricted stock unit awards based on the merger consideration and the 10‑day average Abbott share price. The reported RSU award fully accelerated at separation; one quarter was settled immediately, and the remaining three quarters will be settled in shares six months and one day after the effective time, with an option to have shares withheld for taxes.
