Summary
Medtronic disclosed via a Reg FD (Item 7.01) press release dated April 24, 2026 that an unauthorized party accessed data in certain corporate IT systems. The company stated no impact to products, patient safety, customer connections, manufacturing/distribution operations, financial reporting systems, or ability to meet patient needs; corporate IT networks are segregated from product, manufacturing, and hospital customer networks. Medtronic activated its incident response protocols, engaged external cybersecurity experts, and is investigating whether personal information was accessed (notifications planned if so). The company does not expect a material impact on business or financial results. Filing did not provide a specific incident date; defaulted to first of April 2026 per workflow rule.
