EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) by Shockwave Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relate to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”):

These Post-Effective Amendments are being filed in connection with the closing on May 31, 2024 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 4, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (“Parent”), Sweep Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company. On May 31, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all such securities of the Company registered pursuant to the Registration Statements that remain unsold and any plan interests that are unissued as of the date hereof. Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
