DANAHER ANNOUNCES FINAL EXCHANGE RATIO OF 5.5784

FOR ENVISTA EXCHANGE OFFER

Washington, D.C., December 11, 2019 – Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) announced today the final exchange ratio for its previously announced offer to holders of shares of Danaher common stock to exchange their shares of Danaher common stock for shares of common stock of Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NVST) owned by Danaher.

For each share of Danaher common stock that is validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by stockholders and that is accepted pursuant to the exchange offer, Danaher will deliver 5.5784 shares of Envista common stock to or at the direction of any such tendering stockholder.

The final calculated per-share value of Danaher common stock and the final calculated per-share value of Envista common stock, in each case determined in the manner described in the exchange offer prospectus, would have resulted in an exchange ratio of more than the upper limit of 5.5784. Accordingly, the final exchange ratio has been set at 5.5784 shares of Envista common stock for each share of Danaher common stock accepted in the exchange offer.

Because the exchange offer will be subject to proration if it is oversubscribed, the number of shares of Danaher common stock that Danaher accepts in the exchange offer may be less than the number of shares tendered. Based on the final exchange ratio, Danaher would accept for exchange approximately 22,921,984 shares of its common stock upon consummation of a fully subscribed exchange offer.

The exchange offer is currently scheduled to expire 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.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are the dealer managers for the exchange offer.
