DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to Automatic Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-239202 on Form S-3/ASR (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Shockwave Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2020, pertaining to the registration of: (i) an indeterminate principal amount of debt securities; (ii) an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company; (iii) an indeterminate number of shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Preferred Stock”), (iv) an indeterminate number of depositary shares, representing fractional shares of Preferred Stock; (v) an indeterminate number of warrants; (vi) an indeterminate number of purchase contracts; and (vii) an indeterminate number of units.

This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed in connection with the closing on May 31, 2024 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 4, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (“Parent”), Sweep Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company. On May 31, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all such securities of the Company registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
