ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN
OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") previously announced that John R.
Considine, the Vice Chairman of BD, had planned to remain as a member of BD's
Board of Directors until his planned retirement following BD's 2010 Annual
Meeting. However, on December 4, 2008, Mr. Considine indicated that he plans to
retire earlier, although no date has been set. As a result, he will not stand
for re-election as director at BD's 2009 Annual Meeting to be held in February
2009. Mr. Considine will continue to serve as Vice Chairman in an executive
officer capacity until his retirement, and will, among other things, oversee the
transition of responsibilities to David V. Elkins, who became BD's Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer on December 1, 2008.
