DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

These Post-Effective Amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”), filed by C. R. Bard, Inc. (the “Registrant”), deregister all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.25 per share (the “Shares”), and any other security or interest remaining unsold under the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):

The Registrant is filing these Post-Effective Amendments to these Registration Statements to withdraw and remove from registration the registered but unsold securities issuable by the Registrant pursuant to the above-referenced Registration Statements.

On December 29, 2017, the Registrant was acquired by Becton, Dickinson and Company, a New Jersey corporation (“BD”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 23, 2017 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Registrant, BD and Lambda Corp., a New Jersey corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of BD (“Merger Corp”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Corp merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of BD.

As a result of the Merger, the offerings of the Registrant’s securities pursuant to the above-referenced Registration Statements have been terminated. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration the securities registered but unsold under such Registration Statements. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
