EMBECTA CORP.

CHARTER OF THE

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Effective March 20, 2022

Purpose

The Audit Committee is created by the Board of Directors of the Company to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audits of the Company’s financial statements. In that regard, the Audit Committee:

• assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of:

• the integrity of the financial statements and internal controls of the Company;

• the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors;

• the performance of the Company’s internal audit function;

• compliance with the ethical standards adopted by the Company;

• compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements as provided herein; and

• the Company’s enterprise risk assessment and risk management guidelines and policies.

• prepare the audit committee report that Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules require to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement; and

• when necessary, function as a Qualified Legal Compliance Committee in accordance with the provisions of 17 CFR Part 205.

Membership

The Audit Committee shall consist of at least three members, each of whom has been deemed by the Board of Directors to be “independent” and have the requisite experience under the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and the requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), subject to any phase-in periods or cure periods permitted by Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(iv)(A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or Nasdaq Corporate Governance Requirements. All members of the Audit Committee shall be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. No member of the Audit Committee shall have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in the past three years.

EMBECTA CORP.

CHARTER OF THE

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Effective March 20, 2022

At least one member of the Audit Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. However, one director who does not meet the Nasdaq definition of independence, but who meets the criteria set forth in Section 10A(m)(3) under the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder, and who is not a current officer or employee or a family member of such individual, may serve for no more than two years on the Audit Committee if the Board of Directors, under exceptional and limited circumstances, determines that such individual’s membership is required by the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Such individual must satisfy the independence requirements set forth in Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act, and may not chair the Audit Committee. The use of this “exceptional and limited circumstances” exception, as well as the nature of the individual’s relationship to the Company and the basis for the Board of Directors’ determination, shall be disclosed in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

In addition, if an Audit Committee member ceases to be independent for reasons outside the member’s reasonable control, his or her membership on the Audit Committee may continue until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to qualify as independent. If the Company is not already relying on this provision, and falls out of compliance with the requirements regarding Audit Committee composition due to a single vacancy on the Audit Committee, then the Company will have until the earlier of the next annual shareholders’ meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply with this requirement. The Company shall provide notice to Nasdaq immediately upon learning of the event or circumstance that caused the non-compliance, if it expects to rely on either of these provisions for a cure period.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall recommend nominees for appointment to the Audit Committee annually and as vacancies or newly-created positions occur. Audit Committee members shall be appointed by the Board of Directors and may be removed by the Board of Directors at any time. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall recommend to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors shall designate, the Chair of the Audit Committee.

Authority and Responsibilities

In addition to any other responsibilities that may be assigned to it from time-to-time by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee is responsible for the following matters:

Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint, compensate, retain, terminate, determine funding for and oversee the independent auditors of the Company, including sole authority to approve all audit engagement fees and terms, and pre-approve non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee may consult with management in the decision-making process, but may not delegate this authority to management. The Audit Committee may, from time-to-time, delegate its authority to pre-approve non-audit services to one or more Audit Committee members, provided that such designees present any such approvals to the full Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting. The independent auditors shall report directly to the Audit Committee.
