- Shares owned after transaction: Not reported in the provided filing details.

- F1: DSUs were acquired in lieu of cash retainer and will be settled in cash upon the director's termination; each DSU equals the fair market value of one share at settlement.

Context This is routine board compensation: DSUs are a cash‑settled derivative that track JNJ share value and are paid out when the director leaves the board. Such awards are common for non-employee directors and do not create new JNJ shares outstanding. The $37.5k award is a modest, typical director retainer deferral rather than a directional insider purchase or sale signal.
