On February 2, 2026, Yoshiaki Fujimori informed Boston Scientific Corporation (the “Company”) that he will not stand for re-election at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). Mr. Fujimori has served as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company since July 2016 and currently serves as the chair of the Risk, Science and Technology Committee. Mr. Fujimori will continue to serve as a director and in his committee roles until the 2026 Annual Meeting. Mr. Fujimori’s decision not to stand for re-election at the 2026 Annual Meeting is not the result of any disagreement with the Company.
The Board and Nominating and Governance Committee regularly review the size and composition of the Board and will continue to evaluate whether adding directors to the Board following Mr. Fujimori’s departure is in the best interest of the Company.
