Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 10, 2024, Plaintiff Eric Gilbert (the “Plaintiff”), on behalf of a putative class of stockholders of Solventum Corporation (the “Company”), filed a Verified Class Action Complaint (the “Action”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), challenging the validity of certain aspects of the advance notice and stockholder nomination provisions of the By-laws of the Company. On September 20, 2024, the Company modified the challenged provisions by amending the By-laws of the Company (the “By-laws Amendment”). On November 13, 2024, the Plaintiff filed a Notice and [Proposed] Order Dismissing this Action as Moot and Retaining Jurisdiction to Determine Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Application for an Award of Attorney’s Fees and Reimbursement of Expenses (the “Fee Application”).

The Company has denied and continues to deny all allegations of wrongdoing in the Action. Following negotiations, the Company subsequently decided to avoid further litigation of the issue by resolving the Fee Application and agreeing to pay $120,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses in full satisfaction of any and all claims by the Plaintiff and his counsel for fees and expenses in the Action relating to the By-laws Amendment. In making this decision, the Company considered various factors, including the cost and time associated with litigation.

On June 2, 2026, the Delaware Court entered an order, pursuant to a stipulation, providing that notice of these payments be given through the furnishing of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Stipulation and Order Closing Case is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. In entering the order, the Delaware Court was not asked to review, and did not pass judgment on, the agreed payment of the Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and expenses or their reasonableness. The Plaintiff’s counsel are Joseph L. Christensen of Christensen Law LLC, (302) 212-4330 and Abbott Cooper of Abbott Cooper PLLC, (475) 477-5031. Counsel for the Company are Wade Houston of Abrams & Bayliss LLP, (302) 778-1166 and Roger A. Cooper of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, (212) 225-2283.
