Overview Of Exchange Offer
On November 15, 2019, Danaher Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Danaher”), commenced an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to an aggregate of 127,868,000 shares of common stock of Envista Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Envista”), par value $0.01 per share (“Envista Common Stock”), for outstanding shares of common stock of Danaher, par value $0.01 per share (“Danaher Common Stock”), that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as described in further detail in the Prospectus, dated November 15, 2019, as amended (the “Prospectus”).
Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, for each $100 of Danaher Common Stock accepted in the Exchange Offer, you will receive approximately $107.53 of Envista Common Stock, subject to an upper limit of 5.5784 shares of Envista Common Stock per share of Danaher Common Stock. The Exchange Offer does not provide for a lower limit or minimum exchange ratio. If the upper limit is in effect, then the exchange ratio will be fixed at that limit, and you will receive 5.5784 shares of Envista Common Stock per share of Danaher Common Stock.
The value of Danaher Common Stock and Envista Common Stock for purposes of calculating the exchange ratio will be determined by Danaher by reference to the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) of Danaher Common Stock (the “Average Danaher Price”) and the Envista Common Stock (the “Average Envista Price”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) during the three consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day immediately preceding the expiration date of the Exchange Offer (the “Averaging Dates” and this three-day period, the “Averaging Period”). The Averaging Dates are expected to be December 9, 10 and 11, 2019, unless the Exchange Offer is extended or terminated. If Danaher decides to extend the Exchange Offer, the Averaging Dates will be reset to the period of three consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day immediately preceding such extended expiration date, as it may be further extended.
The number of shares of Danaher Common Stock that will be accepted if the Exchange Offer is completed will depend on the final exchange ratio and the number of shares of Danaher Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.
Danaher will provide on this website the daily VWAPs of both Danaher Common Stock and Envista Common Stock for each day during the Exchange Offer period. See “Table of Historical Indicative Calculated Per-Share Values” below.
The Exchange Offer will expire and withdrawal rights shall terminate at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on December 13, 2019, unless the Exchange Offer is extended or terminated, except with respect to shares of Danaher Common Stock held through the Danaher Corporation & Subsidiaries Savings Plan, the Danaher Corporation & Subsidiaries Retirement & Savings Plan and the Danaher Corporation & Subsidiaries Puerto Rico Savings Plan (collectively, the “Savings Plans”), which cannot be withdrawn after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2019 (unless extended).
If the Exchange Offer is oversubscribed and Danaher cannot accept all tenders of Danaher Common Stock at the final exchange ratio, then all shares of Danaher Common Stock that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will generally be accepted for exchange on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered, which is referred to as “proration.” Stockholders who beneficially own “odd-lots” (fewer than 100 shares in the aggregate) of Danaher Common Stock and who validly tender all their shares will not be subject to proration. Shares held on behalf of participants in the Savings Plans (each of which holds more than 100 shares of Danaher Common Stock) will be subject to proration, even if the individual participants own fewer than 100 shares.
The completion of the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions as specified in the Prospectus. Danaher may waive any or all of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, subject to limited exceptions.
The information on this website is being provided solely in connection with the Exchange Offer and should not be used for any other purpose. You should refer to the Prospectus for additional information about the Exchange Offer. A copy of the Prospectus, the Instruction Booklet to the Letter of Transmittal, forms of a Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and Notice of Withdrawal, the Danaher press release announcing the Exchange Offer and information for Savings Plan participants are available through the links under “Other Related Information” below.

Table of Historical Indicative Calculated Per-Share Values
The table below shows daily VWAPs for shares of Danaher Common Stock and shares of Envista Common Stock. Prior to the Averaging Period, beginning on the third trading day of the Exchange Offer period, the table will show historical indicative calculated per-share values of Danaher Common Stock and Envista Common Stock and the corresponding indicative exchange ratio, calculated as though that day were the last day of the Averaging Period. The indicative exchange ratio will also reflect whether the upper limit would have been in effect, had such day been the last day of the Averaging Period. On each date before the Averaging Period, the information in the table will be updated by 4:30 p.m., New York City time.
During the first two days of the Averaging Period, the table below will provide indicative exchange ratios calculated as follows: (i) on the first day of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratio will be calculated based on the daily VWAPs of Danaher Common Stock and Envista Common Stock for that first day of the Averaging Period, and (ii) on the second day of the Averaging Period, the indicative exchange ratio will be calculated based on the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs of Danaher Common Stock and Envista Common Stock for the first and second days of the Averaging Period. The indicative exchange ratio will be updated at 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on each of the first two days of the Averaging Period. On the third day of the Averaging Period, the table below will not provide an indicative exchange ratio but will provide the final exchange ratio. The final exchange ratio, including whether the upper limit is in effect, will be announced by press release and be available in the table below by 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the second trading day immediately preceding the expiration date of the Exchange Offer (which date, if the Exchange Offer is not extended or terminated, would be December 11, 2019).
Prior to and during the Averaging Period, the data based on which the daily VWAP is determined will only take into account adjustments made to reported trades included by 4:10 p.m., New York City time (except if the market closes early at 1:00 p.m., New York City time, the data based on which the daily VWAP is determined will only take into account adjustments made to reported trades included by 1:10 p.m., New York City time).
