[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]
Johnson & Johnson Announces
European Union Antitrust Filing
And Extension of Tender Offer
for DePuy, Inc. to October 16
New Brunswick, NJ (Sept. 15, 1998) - Johnson &
Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced that today it filed the
required notification with the Commission of the European
Union with respect to its tender offer for all outstanding
shares of common stock of DePuy, Inc. (NYSE: DPU).
The Commission will have one month to complete its
preliminary investigation and determine whether it needs to
initiate a further investigation of the transaction. Because
clearance under the European Union merger control regulation
accordingly will not be obtained prior to the currently
scheduled October 5 expiration date for the tender offer,
Johnson & Johnson and DePuy have agreed that the tender offer
will be extended until 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on
October 16, 1998.
The depositary for the tender offer, First Chicago
Trust Company of New York, has advised Johnson & Johnson that
93,040,007 DePuy shares, approximately 92.2% of the
outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, had been
tendered and not withdrawn as of the close of business on
Monday, September 14, 1998.
