DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Baxter International Inc.

The dividend is payable on Jan. 2, 2025, to stockholders of record as of Nov. 29, 2024. The indicated annual dividend rate is $0.68 per share of common stock.

This dividend represents the new quarterly dividend rate for Baxter in anticipation of the divestiture of its Kidney Care business segment to Carlyle (NASDAQ:CG), which is expected to close in late 2024 or early 2025, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions.
